枯草芽孢杆菌中的分子克隆和单体杂种质粒转化的研究

枯草芽孢杆菌感受态细胞的质粒转化与质粒的分子构型有关。用琼脂糖凝胶电泳法分离纯化的pUB110质粒DNA单体是很少或没有转化活性的。在pUB110质粒DNA上插入一段受体菌染色体DNA,这种杂种质粒的单体可以转化感受态细胞,但受体菌必须是重组型的。转化效率和插入片段的大小有关,片段愈大转化活性愈高,片段小于0.6kb,就和pUB110DNA单体一样,几乎没有转化活性。在pUB110质粒DNA上插入一段解淀粉芽孢杆菌染色体DNA,这种杂种质粒的单体转化效率都很低。本文还讨论了用鸟枪法在枯草芽孢杆菌中进行分子克隆的一些问题。

Molecular cloning and characterization of a genetic region from Serratia marcescens involved in DNA repair

We report here the molecular isolation of a DNA fragment which encodes Tag-like activity from the Gram-negative bacterium Serratia marcescens. A recombinant plasmid encoding Tag-like activity was isolated from a S. marcescens plasmid gene library by complementation of an Escherichia coli tag mutant, which is deficient in 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase I. The clone complements E. coli tag, recA, alkA, but not alkB, mutants for resistance to the DNA-damaging agent methyl methanesulphonate (MMS). The coding region of the Tag activity, initially isolated on a 6.5kb BamHI fragment, was defined to a 1.8kb BglII-SmaI fragment. Labelling of plasmid-encoded proteins using maxicells revealed that the 1.8kb fragment encodes two proteins of molecular weights 42,000 and 16,000. Data presented here suggest that the cloned fragment encodes a DNA repair protein(s) that has similar activity to the 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase I of E. coli.

In vitro repair of double-strand breaks accompanied by recombination in bacteriophage T7 DNA.

A double-strand break in a bacteriophage T7 genome significantly reduced the ability of that DNA to produce viable phage when the DNA was incubated in an in vitro DNA replication and packaging system. When a homologous piece of T7 DNA (either a restriction fragment or T7 DNA cloned into a plasmid) that was by itself unable to form a complete phage was included in the reaction, the break was repaired to the extent that many more viable phage were produced. Moreover, repair could be completed even when a gap of about 900 nucleotides was put in the genome by two nearby restriction cuts. The repair was accompanied by acquisition of a genetic marker that was present only on the restriction fragment or on the T7 DNA cloned into a plasmid. These data are interpreted in light of the double-strand gap repair mode of recombination.     

Cloning and sequence of the gene encoding the major structural component of mannose-resistant fimbriae of Serratia marcescens.

Serratia marcescens US46, a human urinary tract isolate, exhibits mannose-resistant hemagglutination and agglutinates yeast cells, thereby indicating that it has two types of adhesins. We constructed a cosmid library for the DNA of this organism and isolated DNA clones carrying genes for mannose-sensitive (MS) and mannose-resistant (MR) fimbriae. On introduction of the cloned genes into Escherichia coli K-12, MS and MR fimbriae were formed. These fimbriae were functionally and morphologically indistinguishable from those of S. marcescens. Subcloning of these gene clusters revealed that the genes encoding MS fimbriae reside on a 9-kilobase (kb) DNA fragment, while those encoding MR fimbriae are present on a 12-kb fragment. Transposon insertion and maxicell analyses revealed that formation of MR fimbriae is controlled by several genes which reside on the 9-kb fragment. The nucleotide sequence of smfA, the gene encoding the major structural component of MR fimbriae, revealed that this gene encodes a 174-amino-acid polypeptide with a typical procaryotic signal peptide. The primary structure of the smfA product showed significant homology with the primary structure of the E. coli fimbrial subunit.     

An endochitinase A from Vibrio carchariae: cloning, expression, mass and sequence analyses, and chitin hydrolysis

We provide evidence that chitinase A from Vibrio carchariae acts as an endochitinase. The chitinase A gene isolated from V. carchariae genome encodes 850 amino acids expressing a 95-kDa precursor. Peptide masses of the native enzyme identified from MALDI-TOF or nanoESIMS were identical with the putative amino acid sequence translated from the corresponding nucleotide sequence. The enzyme has a highly conserved catalytic TIM-barrel region as previously described for Serratia marcescens ChiA. The Mr of the native chitinase A was determined to be 62,698, suggesting that the C-terminal proteolytic cleavage site was located between R597 and K598. The DNA fragment that encodes the processed enzyme was subsequently cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The expressed protein exhibited chitinase activity on gel activity assay. Analysis of chitin hydrolysis using HPLC/ESI-MS confirmed the endo characteristics of the enzyme.
