Sequence information obtained by NH2-terminal sequence analysis of two molecular weight forms (45 and 48 kDa) of the porcine Gal beta 1,3GalNAc alpha 2,3-sialyltransferase was used to clone a full-length cDNA of the enzyme. The cDNA sequence revealed an open reading frame coding for 343 amino acids and a putative domain structure consisting of a short NH2-terminal cytoplasmic domain, a signal-anchor sequence, and a large COOH-terminal catalytic domain. This domain structure was confirmed by construction of a recombinant sialyltransferase in which the cytoplasmic domain and signal-anchor sequence of the enzyme was replaced with the cDNA of insulin signal sequence. Expression of the resulting construct in COS-1 cells produced an active sialyltransferase which was secreted into the medium in soluble form. Comparison of the cDNA sequence of the sialyltransferase with GenBank produced no significant homologies except with the previously described Gal beta 1,4GlcNAc alpha 2,6-sialyltransferase. Although the cDNA sequences of these two enzymes were largely nonhomologous, there was a 45-amino acid sequence which exhibited 65% identity. This observation suggests that the two sialyltransferases were derived, in part, from a common gene.  相似文献

The 3.5 kb nucleotide fragment, including the recA gene and its downstream recX-like gene, has been isolated from a genomic library by dot-blot hybridization with the Mycobacterium smegmatis recA gene. The recA gene, consisting of 1047 base pairs (bp), encodes a polypeptide of 348 amino acids while the recX-like gene, consisting of 450 bp, encodes a shorter polypeptide of 149 amino acids. Both the deduced amino acid sequences of recA and recX resemble those of the recA and recX genes from other bacteria. The cloned Amycolatopsis mediterranei U32 recA gene conferred partial resistance to ethyl methane sulfonate when expressed in E. coli with the lacZ promoter.  相似文献

The genes were cloned for the two apoprotein subunits, and, of phycocyanin from the cyanobacterium Spirulina maxima(=Arthrospira maxima) strain F3. The - and -subunitgene-coding regions contain 489 bp and 519 bp,respectively. The -subunit gene is upstream from the -subunitgene,with a 111 -bp segment separating them. Similarities between the-subunits of S. maxima and seven othercyanobacteriawere between 63% and 99%, as were those between the -subunits. Themaximumsimilarity between the - and -subunits from S.maxima was 27%.  相似文献

The gene dexYG encoding the dextransucrase from an industrial strain of Leuconostoc mesenteroides 0326 was isolated by PCR. The nucleotide sequence of the dexYG gene consists of an open reading frame (ORF) of 4,584 bp, coding for a 1,527 aa protein with a Mr of 170 kDa. The results were analysed by a BLAST similarity search of the GenBank database, which revealed the amino acid sequence was similiar to dsrD derived from L. mesenteroides Lcc4. The dexYG gene was subcloned into the plasmid pET28a(+) and was expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) by IPTG induction. The pH value was one of the main reasons which caused the degradation of enzyme activity in the later stage of induction. The highest activity was reached 36 U/ml after 5 h induction in medium at pH 6.0. Biotransformation yield of the enzyme reached 65% and the molecular weight of transformed dextran was more than 68 kDa in 2 h.  相似文献

The recent development of axenic culture for E. dispar allowed us to examine this ameba's ability to bind and lyse target cells and compare it to E. histolytica which has been axenically cultured for years. We found that under axenic conditions, E. dispar's adherence to target cells, ligand binding, and cytotoxicity were less than that of E. histolytica. These events were Gal/GalNAc-inhibitable supporting the idea that E. dispar expresses a lectin similar to E. histolytica. Genetic analysis showed that E. dispar had at least two members of the lectin heavy subunit family and four members of the lectin light subunit family that hybridized to ehhgl and ehlgl gene probes. A library screen produced clones which were isolated and sequenced. Derived amino acid sequences showed that the E. dispar heavy and light subunit clones were 86% and 79% identical, respectively, to their E. histolytica counterparts. In particular, the region which contains the epitopes for two adherence-enhancing monoclonal antibodies and a complement-sensitizing monoclonal antibody (amino acids 882–959 of the lectin heavy subunit) were conserved between the species.  相似文献

Na+/H+ antiporter activity is wide-spread and plays essential physiological roles. We found that several Enterobacteriaceae share conserved sequences with nhaA, the gene coding for an E. coli antiporter. A nhaA strain which is sensitive to Na+ and Li+, was used to clone by complementation a DNA fragment from Salmonella enteritidis which confers resistance to the ions. The cloned fragment increased Na+/H+ antiport activity in membranes isolated from strains carrying the respective hybrid plasmid. DNA sequence analysis of the insert revealed two open reading frames. Both encode putative polypeptides which are closely homologous to the nhaA and nhaR gene products from Escherichia coli. The antiporter activity displays properties very similar to that of the E. coli NhaA, namely, it is activiated by alkaline pH and recognizes Li+ with high affinity.Abbreviations H + Proton electrochemical potential - pH transmembrane pH gradient - Na + Sodium electrochemical potential - SDS Sodium dodecyl sulfate - CIP Calf intestine alkaline phosphates - ORF open reading frame  相似文献

A genomic DNA (Dd-cdc25) encoding the protein phosphatase cdc25 was isolated from the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum. The Dd-cdc25 DNA sequence, with a length of 2,958 bp, encodes a protein consisting of 986 amino acid (aa) residues. The sequence shares significant identities with cdc25 from human, mouse, Xenopus, Drosophila, and Shizosaccharomyces pombe, particularly at the C-terminal region including the catalytic site for phosphatase activity. The deduced Dictyostelium cdc25 protein (Dd-cdc25) has the highest molecular mass (109.9 kDa) in several cdc25 species so far reported and contains four regions consisting of unusually long asparagine repeats (22–31) in the sequence. Unexpectedly, however, Western blot analysis using a specific antibody raised against the C terminus (aa 892–986) of Dd-cdc25 demonstrated that the protein exists as a short form (56 kDa), which has the C-terminal active site of phosphatase, during the course of Dictyostelium development. The Western blot analysis also revealed marked changes in the phosphorylated state of the Dd-cdc25, coupling with cellular development.Electronic Supplementary Material Supplementary material to this paper is available in electronic form at The sequence reported in this paper has been deposited in the DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank database with the accession number AB039883Edited by N.

A new chitinase gene, chi92, encoding the largest known chitinase from Streptomyces olivaceoviridisATCC 11238 was sequenced by means of different PCR-methods. The cloned gene was expressed in E. coliand the recombinant protein could be detected by Western-blot analysis. The multiplicity of chitinolytic enzymes of this strain is discussed.  相似文献
