Purification and characterization of two alpha-L-arabinofuranosidases from Streptomyces diastaticus.

A nonsporulating strain of Streptomyces diastaticus producing alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase activity (EC 3.2-1.55) was isolated from soil. Two alpha-L-arabinosidases were purified by ion-exchange chromatography and chromatofocusing. The enzymes had molecular weights of 38,000 (C1) and 60,000 (C2) and pIs of 8.8 and 8.3, respectively. The optimum pH range of activity for both enzymes was between 4 and 7. The apparent Km values with p-nitrophenyl arabinofuranoside as the substrate were 10 mM (C1) and 12.5 mM (C2). C1 retained 50% of its activity after 8 h of incubation at 25 degrees C, while C2 retained 80% activity. After 3 h of incubation at 50 degrees C, C1 lost 90% of its initial activity while C2 lost only 40%. The purified enzymes hydrolyzed p-nitrophenyl alpha-L-arabinofuranoside and liberated arabinose from arabinoxylan and from a debranched beta-1,5-arabinan.

Construction of Double-Copy Glucose Isomerase Gene Engineering Strain of Streptomyces diastaticus by Homologous Recombination

The plasmid pUT for homologous recombination was constructed by the insertion of the 1.1-kb thiostrepton resistance (tsr ^R) gene into the E. coli plasmid pUB1-GI1. Plasmid pUTK was produced through ligating the cleaved plasmid pUT by KpnI. After pUT and pUTK were introduced into Streptomyces diastaticus No.7 strain M1033 (SM33) by protoplast transformation, a series of tsr^R transformants were obtained, further based on enzyme assays. These results for polymerase chain reaction (PCR), DNA sequencing, restriction enzyme digestion, and recovery of cloned fragments from the transformant chromosome demonstrated the plasmid pUT and pUTK had integrated into the SM33 chromosome in three different patterns of single cross-over by homologous recombination. This directly results in double-copy GI gene in the transformant chromosome, of which one is wild-type GI gene, the other mutant GI (GIG138P, GI1) gene. Among the strains of the three kinds of recombinant patterns, one transformant was chosen and named K1, T2, and T3, respectively. The further identification of the three recombinant strains by PCR, DNA sequencing, restriction enzyme digestion, and Southern hybridization also proved there is a double-copy GI gene within their chromosome. Enzyme activity assay and thermostability analysis indicated that all three engineering strains expressed not only wild-type enzyme but also mutant GI.

灰树花总DNA的制备及基因组文库的构建A

灰树花是一种珍贵的药用真菌,因为多糖含量较高,较难获得高质量的总DNA,本文提出了一种制备高质量灰树花总DNA及构建灰树花基因组文库的方法。该方法制备的灰树花总DNA,经Sau3AI酶切后,用于构建基因组文库,可得到2×105个转化子/50mg,平均插入片段为14kb。本研究为下一步克隆灰树花中的基因以及进行其他分子生物学研究奠定了基础。Abstract： Grifola frondosa, is a valuable medicinal fungus. High quality total genomic DNA is difficult to prepare due to its high polysaccharide content. A method for the preparation of Grifola frondosa total genomic DNA and construction of Grifola frondosa, genomic library is described. Genomic DNA prepared by this method is digested by Sau3A I restriction enzyme. Constructed genomic library give a titer of 2×105 transformants/50mg , with a average insert size of 14kb. This has paved way for the cloning of other Grifola frondosa genes and molecular biology studies.     

Construction and Characterization of a Human Chromosome 2-Specific BAC Library

We have constructed a human chromosome 2-specific bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library using DNA from the somatic cell hybrid GM10826. The average size of the clones is about 63 kb. The coverage and distribution of the library were estimated by screening with known polymorphic genetic markers and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Twentyone markers tested positive when DNA pools prepared from approximately one-sixth of the library were screened with 33 known markers. This is consistent with the theoretical calculation of 63% coverage at one genomic equivalent. This suggested that the coverage of the library is approximately 5-6×. FISH analysis with 54 BACs revealed single site hybridization to chromosome 2, and the clones were distributed randomly on the chromosome. We have also performed direct sequencing of the BAC insert ends to generate sequence-tagged sites suitable for mapping and chromosome walking. This is the first reported human chromosome 2-specific BAC library and should provide a resource for physical mapping and disease searching for this chromosome.     

Isolation of High Molecular Weight DNA from Marine Sponge Bacteria for BAC Library Construction

Metagenomics is a powerful tool for mining the genetic repositories from environmental microorganisms. Bacteria associated with marine sponges (phylum Porifera) are rich sources of biologically active natural products. However, to date, few compounds are discovered from the sponge metagenomic libraries, and the main reason might be the difficulties in recovery of high molecular weight (HMW) DNA from sponge symbionts to construct large insert libraries. Here, we describe a method to recover HMW bacterial DNA from diverse sponges with high quality for bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library construction. Microorganisms concentrated from sponges by differential centrifugation were embedded in agarose plugs to lyse out the HMW DNA for recovery. DNA fragments over 436 kb size were recovered from three different types of sponges, Halichondria sp., Haliclona sp., and Xestospongia sp. To evaluate the recovered DNA quality, the diversity of bacterial DNA comprised in the HMW DNA derived from sponge Halichondria sp. was analyzed, and this HMW DNA sample was also cloned into a shuttle BAC vector between Escherichia coli and Streptomyces sp. The results showed that more than five types of bacterial DNA, i.e., Proteobacteria, Nitrospirae, Cyanobacteria, Planctomycetes, and unidentified bacteria, had been recovered by this method, and an average 100 kb size insert DNA in a constructed BAC library demonstrated that the recovered HMW DNA is suitable for metagenomic library construction.
