Cloning and expression of the thermostable pullulanase gene from Thermus sp. strain AMD-33 in Escherichia coli

Abstract The gene coding for a thermostable pullulanase from a thermophile, Thermus sp. strain AMD-33, was cloned in Escherichia coli using pDR540 as a vector. A restriction map was determined for the plasmid pTPS131 which contained the fragment carrying the pullulanase gene. DNA-DNA hybridisation analysis showed that the DNA fragment contained the gene from Thermus sp. strain AMD-33. The strain of E. coli harbouring the plasmid pTPS131 produced most of the pullulanase protein cellularly, whereas Thermus sp. strain AMD-33 produced pullulanase extracellularly. Comparative studies of the enzyme from the thermophile and the plasmid-encoded enzyme in E. coli demonstrated that the optimum temperature and pH of the enzymes were closely similar.     

Cloning and Nucleotide Sequence of the Pullulanase Gene of Thermus thermophilus HB8 and Production of the Enzyme in Escherichia coli

A 3.4-kb SphI fragment carrying the pullulanase gene of Thermus thermophilus HB8 was cloned. Based on the nucleotide sequence of it and the flanking region analyzed by direct sequencing of the inverse PCR product, an expression vector was constructed. The E. coli cells harboring the plasmid produced an about 80-kDa protein having pullulanase activity, the optimum temperature of which was 70°C.

Modulation of Substrate Preference of Thermus Maltogenic Amylase by Mutation of the Residues at the Interface of a Dimer

To elucidate the relationship between the substrate size and geometric shape of the catalytic site of Thermus maltogenic amylase, Gly50, Asp109, and Val431, located at the interface of the dimer, were replaced with bulky amino acids. The k _cat/K _m value of the mutant for amylose increased significantly, whereas that for amylopectin decreased as compared to that of the wild-type enzyme. Thus, the substituted bulky amino acid residues modified the shape of the catalytic site, such that the ability of the enzyme to distinguish between small and large molecules like amylose and amylopectin was enhanced.     

Role of the COOH-terminal pro-sequence of aqualysin I (a heat-stable serine protease) in its extracellular secretion by Thermus thermophilus

Aqualysin I is a subtilisin-type serine protease secreted into the medium by Thermus aquaticus YT-1. Thermus thermophilus cells harboring a plasmid for the aqualysin I precursor secreted pro-aqualysin I with the C-terminal pro-sequence into the culture medium, and the precursor was then processed to the mature enzyme during the cultivation. However, the extracellular levels of aqualysin I in T. thermophilus cells harboring plasmids for deletion mutants as to the C-terminal pro-sequence were about 10–20% in comparison with the level of wild-type. Only the mature enzyme could be detected in the medium, while pro-aqualysin I with the C-terminal pro-sequence could not. These results suggest that the C-terminal pro-sequence of aqualysin I plays an important role in the extracellular secretion of aqualysin I.     

Isolation of Bacterial Strain from Sediment Core of Pulp and Paper Mill Industries for Production and Purification of Lignin Peroxidase (LiP) Enzyme

Five bacterial strains were isolated and purified (CSA101 to CSA105) from the sediment core of the effluent released from the Century Pulp and Paper Mill Ltd., India. These strains were grown in minimal salt medium (MSM) containing pulp (10% as a carbon source). The production of lignin peroxidase, CMCase, Fpase, and xylanase together with protein and reducing sugar by all bacterial strains was observed. All of the bacterial isolates responded differently with respect to growth and ligninocellulolytic enzyme production. The maximum lignin peroxidase (LiP) was obtained from the cell extract of Bacillus sp. (CSA105) strain, which was used for purification, fractionation and characterization. The culture filtrate from Bacillus sp. (CSA105) was purified with ammonium sulfate precipitation. Crude protein was desalted by dialyzing with Tris buffer. The lignolytic enzyme produced in the liquid medium was fractionated by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. In the present study, 12.4-fold purification of LiP enzyme was obtained and 35.85% yield of lignin peroxidase was achieved in the cell extract of Bacillus sp. (CSA105). Lignin peroxidase enzyme plays an important role in lignin degradation process. The ligninolytic enzymes were produced by all of the bacterial strains but maximum lignin peroxidase activity was found in cell extract of CSA105. On the basis of the results obtained, the bacterial strain (CSA105) was found most suitable for the purification of the LiP enzyme.

Immobilization of a proteinase from the extremely thermophilic organism Thermus Rt41A

An extracellular proteinase from Thermus strain Rt41A was immobilized to controlled pore glass (CPG) beads. The properties of the free and CPG-immobilized enzymes were compared using both a large (azocasein) and a small (peptidase) substrate. The specific activity of the immobilized proteinase was 5284 azoU/mg with azocasein and 144 sucU/mg for SucAAPFpNA. The percentage recovery of enzyme activity was unaffected by pore size when it was immobilized at a fixed level of activity/g of beads, whereas it increased with increasing pore size when added at a fixed level/m(2) of support. Saturation of the CPG beads was observed at 540 azoU/m(2) of 105-nm beads. Lower levels (50 azoU/m(2) of 50-nm beads) were used in characterization experiments. The pH optimum of the immobilized Rt41A proteinase was 8.0 for azocasein and 9.5 for SucAAPFpNA, compared with the free proteinase which was 10.5 for both substrates. The immobilized enzyme retained 65% of its maximum activity against azocasein at pH 12, whereas the free proteinase retained less than 10% under the same conditions. Stability at 80 degrees C increased on immobilization at all pH values between 5 and 11, the greatest increase in half-life being approximately 12-fold at pH 7.0. Temperature-activity profiles for both the free and immobilized enzymes were similar for both substrates. The stability of the immobilized proteinase, however, was higher than that of the free enzyme in the absence and presence of CaCl(2). Overall, the results show that low levels of calcium (10 muM) protect against thermal denaturation, but that high calcium or immobilization are required to protect against autolysis.
