Characterization of a chitinase gene (chiA) from Serratia marcescens BJL200 and one-step purification of the gene product 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Abstract The nucleotide sequence of the chiA gene from Serratia marcescens strain BJL200 was determined. The gene was found to encode a protein of 563 amino acid residues, with a typical N-terminal signal peptide of 23 residues, that is cleaved off during export. The gene exhibited striking differences with two previously characterized chiA genes of S. marcescens in the region corresponding to amino acid residues 410–467 of the gene product. Periplasmic fractions of an Escherichia coli strain harbouring the cloned gene were used as starting material for the development of a fast, one-step purification protocol for the chitinase that is based on hydrophobic interaction chromatography. 相似文献

Vegetative insecticidal protein (Vip) is a newly discovered family of toxin protein isolated from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). An 88.5-kDa Vip3Aa protein was secreted by a local strain of the bacterium during the vegetative growth phase. The full length of the coding region ‘2.3 kbp’ of the vip3Aa gene was isolated from plasmid DNA, cloned in pGEM-T vector and finally cloned in pQE-30 expression vector. Nucleotide sequence revealed 98% homology with that of the previously isolated genes. Expression of the vip3Aa in Escherichia coli was carried out and the expressed protein was detected in the concentrated supernatant, not in the pellet. This indicated that vip3Aa is secreted into the culture medium. Expressed protein was purified, blotted, and assayed against the cotton leaf worm Spodoptera littoralis. The LC50 was found to be 142.4 µ/mL while the LC50 was 90 ppm for the wild strain. These results suggest the use of either the isolated Bt strains or the expressed vip3Aa in an integrated pest management program against lepidopteran insect pests. 相似文献

【目的】研究苏云金芽胞杆菌Bti75中糖代谢蛋白Ccp A对两种几丁质酶基因chi A和chi B的表达调控。【方法】利用PREDetector软件分析Bti75 chi A和chi B的基因上游区序列,EMSA方法在体外验证Ccp A是否能与chi A和chi B基因的启动子区域片段特异性结合。构建ccp A基因敲除载体以获得敲除突变株Δccp A,运用实时荧光定量PCR技术和Western blot技术比较有无葡萄糖存在的情况下,Ccp A对chi A和chi B基因表达的影响。【结果】计算机分析显示,chi B上游启动子区存在一个潜在的Ccp A结合位点crechi B,而chi A上游启动子区未发现类似序列。体外实验表明,Ccp A蛋白在共阻遏蛋白Hpr-Ser45-P的参与下可与chi B基因启动子区特异性结合,而与chi A基因启动子区没有特异性结合;实时荧光定量PCR和Western blot结果均显示,Bti75中ccp A基因敲除后,同样在葡萄糖存在下chi B的表达量提高而chi A的表达量变化不明显。【结论】在葡萄糖存在的情况下,Ccp A蛋白能抑制苏云金芽胞杆菌中几丁质酶chi B的表达,而chi A的表达不受Ccp A调控。 相似文献

苏云金杆菌以色列亚种的p19基因、cry11Aa基因和p20基因位于同一操纵子上,据推测辅助蛋白P19可能与Cry11Aa蛋白的晶体化相关。本研究利用穿梭载体pHT3101构建了两个重组质粒pHcy1和pHcy3,两质粒均携带cry11Aa基因,但后者完全缺失了cry11Aa基因上游的p19基因。将重组质粒电激转化至苏云金杆菌无晶体突变株4Q7中进行蛋白表达,SDS-PAGE结果表明在4Q7(pHcy1)和4Q7(pHcy3)中均能检测到正常表达的Cry11Aa蛋白,但单位体积培养液的Cry11Aa蛋白在辅助蛋白P19存在时的表达量明显高于其单独表达的表达量;透射电镜观察显示两菌株中的Cry11Aa蛋白形成了大小相近、形状相似的双梯形晶体;另外,生物测定结果表明重组菌株4Q7(pHcy1)和4Q7(pHcy3)对三龄致倦库蚊的杀虫活性没有显著性差异。该现象说明辅助蛋白P19的缺失对Cry11Aa蛋白的晶体形成和杀蚊活性没有影响,但P19作为分子伴侣在一定程度上帮助提高了Cry11Aa蛋白的表达水平。 相似文献

An endochitinase gene from the Serratia marcescens Nima strain (chiA Nima) was cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli DH5αF′, and the recombinant protein (ChiA Nima) was purified by hydrophobic interaction chromatography. chiA Nima contains an open reading frame (ORF) that encodes an endochitinase with a deduced molecular weight and an isoelectric
point of 61 kDa and 6.84, respectively. A sequence at the 5′-end was identified as a signal peptide, recognized by Gram-negative
bacteria transport mechanism. Comparison of ChiA Nima with other chitinases revealed a modular structure formed by the catalytic
domain and a putative chitin-binding domain. The purified chitinase was able to hydrolyze both trimeric and tetrameric fluorogenic
substrates, but not a chitobiose analog substrate. ChiA Nima showed high enzymatic activity within a broad pH range (pH 4.0–10.0),
with a peak activity at pH 5.5. The optimal temperature for enzymatic activity was detected at 55°C. 相似文献

AIMS: To characterize a novel, unusual, Bacillus thuringiensis strain, to clone its Cry gene and determine the spectrum of action of the encoded Cry protein. METHODS AND RESULTS: The B. thuringiensis strain, referred to as M15, was isolated from dead two-spotted spider mites (Tetranychus urticae Koch; Arthropoda: Arachnida: Tetranychidae). It is an autoagglutination-positive strain and is therefore non-serotypeable. A sporulated culture produces a roughly spherical parasporal inclusion body, the crystal, tightly coupled to the spore. Although the crystal appears to be composed of at least two major polypeptides of 86 and 79 kDa as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, Southern hybridization indicates that the corresponding crystal protein gene is likely present in only one copy. The crystal protein gene was cloned and, based on nucleotide sequence homology with an orthologous cry31Aa1 gene, assigned the name cry31Aa2. Although initially isolated from spider mites, B. thuringiensis M15 is non-toxic to spider mites and it does not produce the wide spectrum beta-exotoxin. Assays on mammalian cells, however, reveal that Cry31Aa2, when cleaved with trypsin, is cytocidal to some human cancer cells but not to normal human cells. No cytocidal activity was induced after protease treatment of Cry31Aa2 with either chymotrypsin or proteinase K. Trypsin, chymotrypsin and proteinase K cleavage sites were determined. CONCLUSIONS: The B. thuringiensis strain M15 exhibits specific cytocidal activities against some human cancer cells. Significance and Impact of the Study: This study raises questions as to the actual role of this bacterial strain and its crystal protein in the environment. It may be possible to further develop the Cry31Aa2 protein to target specific human cancer cells. 相似文献

通过体外重组的方法,实现了苏云金芽孢杆菌杀虫晶体蛋白Cry1Aa和Cry1Ca的功能性结构域Ⅰ、Ⅱ和Ⅲ的互换,得到了6株苏云金杆菌重组菌株BT-ACC,BT-AAC,BT-ACA,BT-CAA,BT-CCA和BT-CAC。SDS-PAGE和Westernblot分析表明,重组菌株BT-CAA和BT-CCA能表达产生135kDa左右的杂交晶体蛋白Cry1CAA和Cry1CCA,但其蛋白表达量较野生型Cry1Aa和Cry1Ca低。用牛胰蛋白酶对杂交晶体蛋白Cry1CAA、Cry1CCA及野生型Cry1Aa和Cry1Ca进行消化,证明所有晶体蛋白都能产生65kDa的活性毒素。电镜观察发现,野生菌株BT-Cry1Aa和BT-Cry1Ca形成典型的菱形晶体,而重组菌株BT-CCA和BT-CAA则形成球形或颗粒状杂交晶体。纯化晶体的生物测定显示,杂交晶体蛋白Cry1CAA和Cry1CCA对甜菜夜蛾的毒力比野生型晶体蛋白降低3~5倍,对棉铃虫的毒力比野生型晶体蛋白降低了190~260倍。研究结果表明,苏云金杆菌晶体蛋白不同结构域的相互作用会影响杂交晶体蛋白的表达、晶体形态和杀虫活性。 相似文献

Serratia marcescens produces three chitinases, ChiA, ChiB and ChiC which together enable the bacterium to efficiently degrade the insoluble chitin polymer. We present an overview of the structural properties of these enzymes, as well as an analysis of their activities towards artificial chromogenic chito-oligosaccharide-based substrates, chito-oligosaccharides, chitin and chitosan. We also present comparative inhibition data for the pseudotrisaccharide allosamidin (an analogue of the reaction intermediate) and the cyclic pentapeptide argadin. The results show that the enzymes differ in terms of their subsite architecture and their efficiency towards chitinous substrates. The idea that the three chitinases play different roles during chitin degradation was confirmed by the synergistic effects that were observed for certain combinations of the enzymes. Studies of the degradation of the soluble heteropolymer chitosan provided insight into processivity. Taken together, the available data for Serratia chitinases show that the chitinolytic machinery of this bacterium consists of two processive exo-enzymes that degrade the chitin chains in opposite directions (ChiA and ChiB) and a non-processive endo-enzyme, ChiC. 相似文献

Easily solubilized major outer membrane protein was found in Serratia marcescens. The protein was originally obtained as a membrane-associated, insoluble protein in the outer membrane when the cells were slightly disrupted. However, the amount of this protein in the outer membrane gradually decreased with the time of sonication. The decrease was not due to decomposition of the protein but to solubilization into a soluble fraction after a long period of disruption. The molecular weight of this protein was 47 kDa and it bound calcium. Another 40 kDa calcium binding protein was also found in the outer membrane of S. marcescens. 相似文献

Bacillus thuringiensis crystalline (Cry) proteins are highly toxic to a wide range of insect pests, but some species resist their action. This is true for many economically important beetles, including stored product pests, such as Tribolium castaneum. In this article, we show that the susceptibility of T. castaneum larvae to natural as well as to a recombinant Cry3Aa‐type toxin, applied in the diet, is enhanced by supplementing the diet with recombinant fragments of Tenebrio molitor cadherin; Cry toxin‐binding sites occur in several cadherin repeats (CR). In our study, we used the toxin‐binding region CRtb, which represents a substantial part of the repeat CR12‐MPED (membrane‐proximal extracellular domain). CRtb and CR12‐MPED consistently increased Cry3Aa toxicity. This synergistic effect occured at diverse mass ratios between the toxin and the cadherin fragments, suggesting that optimal ratios can be found. In our 6‐week‐long assay with T. castaneum, we achieved mortality of up to 96.6% with toxin concentration 30 μg/g. Cadherin fragments CR11 and CR9‐11 elicited small and diverse effects that require further analysis. 相似文献

Identification of vip3A-type genes from Bacillus thuringiensis strains and characterization of a novel vip3A-type gene 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
AIMS: To search for novel Vip3A proteins for controlling insect pests. METHODS AND RESULTS: A pair of universal primers was designed based on the conserved regions of five vip3A genes. Amplified products were digested with the HindIII and EcoR enzymes so as to confirm different restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) patterns used to identify vip3A-type genes. The vip3A gene types of 606 Bacillus thuringiensis strains were screened and three patterns of RFLP were successfully identified. Two novel vip3A genes were found and one of these, vip3Aa19, was further characterized and its product was confirmed toxic to Spodoptera exigua, Helicoverpa armigera and Plutella xylostella larvae. Partial sequences of another novel vip3A-type gene were obtained that shared 83% homology with that of the vip3Af1 gene. CONCLUSIONS: A polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-RFLP system we developed could be used for identifying novel vip3A-genes from B. thuringiensis strains. A novel Vip3A protein was found to have a broader insecticidal spectrum. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The reported method is a powerful tool to find novel Vip3A proteins from large-scale B. thuringiensis strains. The novel Vip3A protein may be used to control insect pests or resistant insect pests by constructing genetically engineered strains or transgenic plants. 相似文献

The Serratia marcescens serine protease (SSP) is one of the extracellular enzymes secreted from this Gram-negative bacterium. When the ssp gene, which encodes a SSP precursor (preproSSP) composed of a typical NH2-terminal signal peptide, a mature enzyme domain, and a large COOH-terminal pro-region, is expressed in Escherichia coli, the mature protease is excreted through the outer membrane into the medium. The COOH-terminal pro-region, which is integrated into the outer membrane, provides the essential function for the export of the mature protein across the outer membrane. This is a very simple pathway, in contrast to the general secretory pathway exemplified by the secretion of a pullulanase from Klebsiella oxytoca, in which many separately encoded accessory proteins are required for the transport through the outer membrane. Moreover, the NH2-terminal region of 71 amino acid residues of the COOH-terminal pro-sequence plays an essential role, as an “intramolecular chaperone,” in the folding of the mature enzyme in the medium. In addition to ssp, the S. marcescens strain contains two ssp homologues encoding proteins similar to SSP in amino acid sequence and size, but with no protease activity. Characterization of the homologue proteins and chimeric proteins between the homologues and SSP, all of which are produced in E. coli, has shown that they are membrane proteins that are localized in the outer membrane in the same manner as for SSP. By use of the COOH-terminal domain of SSP, pseudoazurin was exported to the cell surface of E. coli, which proves the usefulness of the SSP secretory system in the export of foreign proteins across the outer membrane. 相似文献

AIMS: The present work aims to study a new chitinase from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki. METHODS AND RESULTS: BUPM255 is a chitinase-producing strain of B. thuringiensis, characterized by its high chitinolytic and antifungal activities. The cloning and sequencing of the corresponding gene named chi255 showed an open reading frame of 2031 bp, encoding a 676 amino acid residue protein. Both nucleotide and amino acid sequences similarity analyses revealed that the chi255 is a new chitinase gene, presenting several differences from the published chi genes of B. thuringiensis. The identification of chitin hydrolysis products resulting from the activity, exhibited by Chi255 through heterologous expression in Escherichia coli revealed that this enzyme is a chitobiosidase. CONCLUSIONS: Another chitinase named Chi255 belonging to chitobiosidase class was evidenced in B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki and was shown to present several differences in its amino acid sequence with those of published ones. The functionality of Chi255 was proved by the heterologous expression of chi255 in E. coli. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The addition of the sequence of chi255 to the few sequenced B. thuringiensis chi genes might contribute to a better investigation of the chitinase 'structure-function' relation. 相似文献

牛乳铁蛋白肽(bovine lactoferrincin,LfcinB)来源于牛乳铁蛋白(bovine lactoferrin),是目前已知所有乳铁蛋白肽中活性最高的。前期研究表明,可以通过大肠杆菌表达体系和毕赤酵母表达体系表达有活性的LfcinB,但得到的产物难以纯化,产量也不理想,所以研究构建新型的LfcinB表达体系有很重要的意义。苏云金芽胞杆菌(Bacillus thuringiensis, Bt)能在芽胞形成的同时产生一种δ-内毒素组装成的杀虫晶体,在发酵完成后细胞裂解,将芽胞和晶体释放到培养基中。基于Bt的这种优势,将LfcinB与分子量为35kDa的Cry60Ba晶体蛋白作融合表达。通过PCR扩增和酶切连接,将LfcinB基因连接到 cry60Ba 的下游,构建融合基因并转入无晶体Bt菌株中表达,得到了工程菌4Q7/pPFT60Ba-LfcinB。利用GYS培养发酵48h,再经过超声破碎、包涵体纯化,SDS-PAGE分析表明,工程菌表达了一条38kDa左右的蛋白质条带。将纯化的融合蛋白盐酸水解后进行SDS-PAGE分析,得到近似于3kDa的蛋白质条带,挖取目的条带进行胶内酶解和质谱分析,质谱结果显示,挖取的目的条带样品为LfcinB蛋白的特异性肽段,说明在酸水解过后,融合蛋白Cry60Ba-LfcinB中的Cry60Ba和LfcinB分离开,得到单独的LfcinB蛋白。由此可见,利用晶体蛋白在苏云金芽胞杆菌中进行融合表达可能作为一种新型有效的LfcinB的高效表达体系,为采用基因工程的方法大量生产具有活性的牛乳铁蛋白肽LfcinB蛋白奠定基础。 相似文献
