A centromeric activity was identified in the previously isolated 3.8 kb DNA fragment that carries an autonomously replicating sequence (ARS) from the yeast Candida maltosa. Plasmids bearing duplicated copies of the centromeric DNA (dicentric plasmids) were physically unstable and structural rearrangements of the dicentric plasmids occurred frequently in the transformed cells. The centromeric DNA activity was dissociated from the ARS, which is 0.2 kb in size, and was delimited to a fragment at least 325 by in length. The centromeric DNA region included the consensus sequences of CDEI (centromeric DNA element I) and an AT-rich CDEII-like region of Saccharomyces cerevisiae but had no homology to the functionally critical CDEIII consensus. A plasmid bearing the whole 3.8 kb fragment was present in 1–2 copies per cell and was maintained stably even under non-selective culture conditions, while a plasmid having only the 0.2 kb ARS was unstable and accumulated to high copy numbers. The high-copy-number plasmid allowed us to overexpress a gene to a high level, which had never been attained before, under the control of both constitutive and inducible promoters in C. maltosa. 相似文献

【目的】与整合型表达载体相比,游离型表达载体通常具有更高的拷贝数以实现目标基因的高强度表达,并且对于DNA操作应用更加方便和灵活。然而,目前的研究尚未确定适用于圆红冬孢酵母的游离型质粒,该酵母外源基因的表达或者基于CRISPR/Cas9的基因组编辑都需要通过整合方式来完成,这也是对其遗传改造进展缓慢的一个重要原因。本研究目的是构建圆红冬孢酵母的游离型质粒,使得其外源基因的表达和基因组编辑更方便省时。【方法】首先对圆红冬孢酵母苯丙氨酸氨裂解酶基因(phenylalanine ammonia-lyase gene, PAL)中可能存在的自主复制序列(autonomously replicating sequences, ARSs)进行挖掘和表征,将该基因及其上下游序列进行分段扩增,构建到带有β-异丙基苹果酸脱氢酶基因(β-isopropyl malate dehydrogenase gene, LEU2)的质粒中,通过电转化的方法导入LEU2基因缺陷的圆红冬孢酵母中,根据转化效率高低鉴定了该酵母的一个ARS。其次,以编码香叶基香叶基焦磷酸合成酶(geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase, GGPPS)的BTS1基因为敲除靶点,将其gRNA构建到基于ARS的游离型质粒中,通过转化子直观的颜色变化来验证该游离型质粒是否成功应用于圆红冬孢酵母的CRISPR/Cas9体系。【结果】本工作鉴定了圆红冬孢酵母的ARS,构建了基于ARS元件的游离型质粒,并将该质粒应用于圆红冬孢酵母CRISPR/Cas9体系,成功实现了基于游离型质粒的基因敲除。【结论】本研究丰富了圆红冬孢酵母现有的工具库,为圆红冬孢酵母的合成生物学应用提供了良好的研究基础和技术支持。 相似文献

Summary Previous studies have indicated that DNA bending is a general structural feature of sequences (ARSs) from cellular DNAs of yeasts and nuclear and mitochondrial genomic DNAs of other eukaryotes that are capable of autonomous replication in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here we showed that bending activity is also tightly associated with S. cerevisiae ARS function of segments cloned from mitochondrial linear DNA plasmids of the basidiomycetes Pleurotus ostreatus and Lentinus edodes. Two plasmids, designated pLPO2-like (9.4 kb), and pLPO3 (6.6 kb) were isolated from a strain of P. ostreatus. A 1029 by fragment with high-level ARS activity was cloned from pLPO3 and it contained one ARS consensus sequence (A/T)TTTAT(A/G)TTT(A/T) indispensable for activity and seven dispersed ARS consensus-like (10/11 match) sequences. A discrete bent DNA region was found to lie around 500 by upstream from the ARS consensus sequence (T-rich strand). Removal of the bent DNA region impaired ARS function. DNA bending was also implicated in the ARS function associated with a 1430 by fragment containing three consecutive ARS consensus sequences which had been cloned from the L. edodes plasmid pLLE1 (11.0 kb): the three consecutive ARSs responsible for high-level ARS function occurred in, and immediately adjacent to, a bent DNA region. A clear difference exists between the two plasmid-derived ARS fragments with respect to the distance between the bent DNA region and the ARS consensus sequence(s). 相似文献

【目的】研究紫草素抑制白色念珠菌的作用机制。【方法】通过微量稀释法测定紫草素对白色念珠菌的最低抑菌浓度(MIC)和最低杀菌浓度(MFC);紫外分光光度法测定紫草素对白色念珠菌细胞膜渗透性的影响;扫描电镜观察紫草素对菌体形态的影响;激光共聚焦显微镜测定紫草素对白色念珠菌细胞内钙离子浓度的影响;卵黄平板培养基法检测紫草素对白色念珠菌的细胞膜磷脂酶活性的影响;RT-PCR检测紫草素对白色念珠菌PLB1和PLB2基因表达量的影响。【结果】紫草素对白色念珠菌有较强的抑制作用,其对白色念珠菌的MIC和MFC分别为16μg/m L和32μg/mL。紫草素能破坏白色念珠菌细胞膜的完整性,使细胞膜的通透性增加,导致细胞内DNA和RNA等大分子物质的泄漏和细胞内钙离子的流失。其中MIC的紫草素作用菌体16 h后,上清液中的DNA和RNA等大分子含量与对照组相比增加了117.32%(P0.01);细胞内的[Ca~(2+)]降低了72.02%(P0.01)。扫描电镜结果也证明了紫草素对白色念珠菌细胞膜的破坏作用。紫草素也能抑制白色念珠菌分泌磷脂酶,且呈浓度剂量依赖。其中,与对照组相比,MIC的紫草素能使白色念珠菌分泌磷脂酶的量下降56.3%(P0.01)。RT-PCR结果显示,紫草素能抑制编码磷脂酶B的基因PLB1和PLB2的表达量,其中1/2 MIC的紫草素作用白色念珠菌16 h后,与对照组相比,PLB1和PLB2基因的相对表达量分别降低了56.4%和61.4%(P0.01)。【结论】紫草素对白色念珠菌有较强的抑杀作用,其作用机制是通过破坏白色念珠菌细胞膜的完整性,增加菌体细胞膜的通透性,导致细胞内DNA和RNA等大分子的泄漏和细胞内[Ca~(2+)]的流失,最终引起菌体的死亡。而紫草素对白色念珠菌磷脂酶分泌的抑制作用,致使其不能及时维护和修复由紫草素造成的细胞膜的破坏和损伤,也是导致菌体死亡的原因。 相似文献

白念珠菌(Candida albicans)是侵袭性真菌感染的主要致病性病原体。抗菌肽AMP-17有较强的抗念珠菌活性,经AMP-17作用白念珠菌后的蛋白组学结果显示,细胞壁(XOG1)和氧化应激(SRR1)蛋白基因表达差异显著,提示AMP-17可能通过影响XOG1和SRR1基因发挥其抗白念珠菌作用。为进一步探究XOG1和SRR1基因是否为AMP-17的作用靶点,本研究利用规律成簇间隔短回文重复序列相关蛋白9(clustered regulatory interspaced short palindromic repeats-associated protein 9,CRISPR/Cas9)系统构建了白念珠菌xog1Δ/Δ和srr1Δ/Δ缺失菌;表型观察结果发现除XOG1基因缺失可影响白念珠菌的体外应激和菌丝形成,2个基因缺失对白念珠菌生长繁殖和生物膜形成无明显影响;药敏实验分析显示AMP-17对xog1Δ/Δ和srr1Δ/Δ缺失菌的MIC80值从野生菌的8μg/mL增至16μg/mL,而对srr1Δ/Δ::srr1回补菌的MIC80值降至野... 相似文献

Molecular modeling was used to clarify the mechanism of the selectivity of Candida antarctica lipase B and Candida rugosa lipase towards cis9, trans11 (c9, t11-) and trans10, cis12 (t10, c12-) conjugated linoleic acid. Hydrogen bonds network, substrate conformation, binding affinity and water molecules in the binding site were analyzed. Substrate conformation and binding affinity were not correlated with the experimental results of the substrate selectivity. On the contrary, better enzyme preference towards a substrate was correlated with two stronger hydrogen bonds (His-NH-Oa and His-NH-Ser-Oγ) and less water molecules between the substrate the binding pocket. Possible explanation of these was discussed. 相似文献

【背景】 1,2,4-丁三醇属于手性多羟基醇,是一种重要的有机合成的化学中间体,以木糖为原料经四步酶反应是目前研究最多的生物合成路线。然而大肠杆菌的鲁棒性较弱,对发酵液中一些抑制剂的耐受性不是很好,同时存在严重的碳代谢抑制。近年来,鲁棒性较好的酵母菌成为更有吸引力的宿主,其中热带假丝酵母具有天然的木糖代谢途径,可以更好地利用木糖。【目的】在热带假丝酵母中构建从木糖到1,2,4-丁三醇的代谢途径。【方法】在热带假丝酵母中敲除木糖还原酶基因GRE3,从而阻断自身的木糖代谢途径。将来源于Caulobacter crescentus的木糖脱氢酶基因(xylB)和木糖酸脱水酶基因(xylD)及来源于Lactococcus lactis的酮酸脱羧酶基因(kdcA)克隆至C. tropicalis 207中,得到重组菌C. tropicalis BT,在此基础上考察重组菌代谢木糖合成1,2,4-丁三醇的能力,确定限速步骤,并通过增加关键基因xylD与kdcA的拷贝数提高1,2,4-丁三醇产量。【结果】在30℃、200 r/min、接种量1%、以30 g/L木糖为底物的情况下,重组菌的1,2,4-丁三醇的产量达到了1.2 g/L,在5 L发酵罐中的产量达到了3.7 g/L。【结论】在热带假丝酵母中实现以木糖为底物的1,2,4-丁三醇代谢途径,并通过在基因组上增加关键基因xylD与kdcA的拷贝数,获得了一株高产1,2,4-丁三醇的重组酵母菌株,这为后续在热带假丝酵母中进一步提高1,2,4-丁三醇产量奠定了基础。 相似文献

The HST7 gene of Candida albicans encodes a protein with structural similarity to MAP kinase kinases. Expression of this gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae complements disruption of the Ste7 MAP kinase kinase required for both mating in haploid cells and pseudohyphal growth in diploids. However, Hst7 expression does not complement loss of either the Pbs2 (Hog4) MAP kinase kinase required for response to high osmolarity, or loss of the Mkk1 and Mkk2 MAP kinase kinases required for proper cell wall biosynthesis. Intriguingly, HST7 acts as a hyperactive allele of STE7; expression of Hst7 activates the mating pathway even in the absence of upstream signaling components including the Ste7 regulator Ste11, elevates the basal level of the pheromone-inducible FUS1 gene, and amplifies the pseudohyphal growth response in diploid cells. Thus Hst7 appears to be at least partially independent of upstream activators or regulators, but selective in its activity on downstream target MAP kinases. Creation of Hst7/Ste7 hybrid proteins revealed that the C-terminal two-thirds of Hst7, which contains the protein kinase domain, is sufficient to confer this partial independence of upstream activators.Communicated by C.

In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, progress of the cell cycle beyond the major control point in G1 phase, termed START, requires activation of the evolutionarily conserved Cdc28 protein kinase by direct association with GI cyclins. We have used a conditional lethal mutation in CDC28 of S. cerevisiae to clone a functional homologue from the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans. The protein sequence, deduced from the nucleotide sequence, is 79% identical to that of S. cerevisiae Cdc28 and as such is the most closely related protein yet identified. We have also isolated from C. albicans two genes encoding putative G1 cyclins, by their ability to rescue a conditional GI cyclin defect in S. cerevisiae; one of these genes encodes a protein of 697 amino acids and is identical to the product of the previously described CCN1 gene. The second gene codes for a protein of 465 residues, which has significant homology to S. cerevisiae Cln3. These data suggest that the events and regulatory mechanisms operating at START are highly conserved between these two organisms. 相似文献

Recombinant Candida rugosa LIP2 expression in Pichia pastoris under the control of the AOX1 promoter
Pau Ferrer Manuel Alarcn Ramn Ramn María Dolors Benaiges Francisco Valero 《Biochemical Engineering Journal》2009,46(3):271-277
The LIP2 isoenzyme gene from Candida rugosa has been completely synthesised and functionally expressed under the AOX1 promoter control in Pichia pastoris. The on-line monitoring and control of methanol, the key inducer carbon source in fed-batch cultures, has enhanced the yield product/biomass 7.8-fold and the productivity 12.8-fold compared to the best batch cultivation with the Pichia system and, 10-fold compared to the fed-batch cultivation process using the native C. rugosa strain.Nevertheless, the high ionic strength of culture broth favoured aggregation of Lip2, leading to total loss of lipolytic activity. After cultivation, a diaultrafiltration process was implemented to diminish ionic strength, allowing for the recovery of lipolytic activity in the diaultrafiltrate. The developed bioprocess resulted into a reproducible product in terms of quality and productivity. 相似文献
