The gene for dihydrofolate reductase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from M. tuberculosis H37Rv strain genomic DNA. The protein was expressed in inclusion bodies in high yield in Escherichia coli under the control of the T7 promoter. Active enzyme was obtained by refolding from guanidine HCl and after a single chromatography step the sample was > 99% homogeneous with a specific activity of approximately 15.5 micromol min(-1) mg(-1). Mass spectrometry analysis confirmed the expected mass of 17.6 kDa. Gel filtration of the enzyme indicated that it was a monomer. Steady-state kinetic parameters were determined and the effect of pH and KCl on the enzyme examined. Methotrexate and trimethoprim inhibited the enzyme.  相似文献

Inositol monophosphatase is an enzyme in the biosynthesis of myo-inostiol, a crucial substrate for the synthesis of phosphatidylinositol, which has been demonstrated to be an essential component of mycobacteria. In this study, the Rv2131c gene from Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv was cloned into the pET28a vector and the recombinant plasmid was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) strain, allowing the expression of the enzyme in fusion with a histidine-rich peptide on the N-terminal. The fusion protein was purified from the soluble fraction of the lysed cells under native conditions by immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC). The purified Rv2131c gene product showed inositol monophosphatase activity but with substrate specificity that was broader than those of several bacterial and eukaryotic inositol monophosphatases, and it also acted as fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase. The dimeric enzyme exhibited dual activities of IMPase and FBPase, with K(m) of 0.22+/-0.03mM for inositol-1-phosphate and K(m) of 0.45+/-0.05mM for fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase. To better understand the relationship between the function and structure of the Rv2131c enzyme, we constructed D40N, L71A, and D94N mutants and purified these corresponding proteins. Mutations of D40N and D94N caused the proteins to almost completely lose both the inositol monophosphatase and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase activities. However, L71A mutant did not cause loss either of the activities, but the activity toward the inositol was 12-fold more resistant to inhibition by lithium (IC(50) approximately 60mM). Based on the substrate specificity and presence of conserved sequence motifs of the M. tuberculosis Rv2131c, we proposed that the enzyme belonged to class IV fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase IV).  相似文献

Phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) EC 5.3.1.9, is a housekeeping enzyme that catalyzes the reversible isomerization of d-glucopyranose-6-phosphate and d-fructofuranose-6-phosphate. We have previously reported expression and multistep purification of recombinant PGI from Mycobacterium tuberculosis using conventional methods. We now describe an improved and simplified single step approach for purification of functionally active mycobacterial rPGI. The gene encoding PGI from M. tuberculosis H37Rv was cloned in bacterial expression vector pET22b(+). Expression of recombinant PGI with six-histidine-tag protein was observed both in the soluble fraction and inclusion bodies. Approximately 116mg of recombinant enzyme was purified to near homogeneity with approximately 80% yield from the soluble fraction of 1L culture at shake flask level using one step Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. The specific activity of the purified six-histidine-tagged recombinant PGI (rPGI-His(6)) was approximately 800U/mg of protein. The apparent K(m) value of the active recombinant protein followed Michaelis-Menten kinetics and was 0.27+/-0.03mM. K(i) for the competitive inhibitor 6-phosphogluconate was 0.75mM. The enzyme had pH optima in the range of pH 7.6-9.0 and was stable up to 55 degrees C. rPGI-His(6) exhibited enzyme activity almost equal to that of enzyme without histidine tag.  相似文献

Aim:  Molecular cloning, overexpression and biochemical characterization of the genes from the Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv genome having hypothetical β-lactamases activity.
Methods and Results:  Analysis of the M. tuberculosis H37Rv genome revealed that Rv 2068c , Rv 0406 c and Rv 3677 c gene products were predicted to exhibit β-lactamases activity. All the three genes were cloned in pET28a vector and overexpressed in C41 (DE3) Escherichia coli cells. The His-tagged recombinant proteins were confirmed by immunoblotting and were shown to have β-lactamase activity by the hydrolysis of nitrocefin and other β-lactams. Catalytic parameters for all the recombinant proteins were derived followed by the enzyme inhibition studies. Antibiotic susceptibility studies using the recombinant strains showed an increased resistance against different classes of β-lactam antibiotics.
Conclusion:  The study revealed the possibility of more than one gene in M. tuberculosis , encoding proteins having β-lactamase or β-lactamase-like activity, giving wide spectrum of resistance against β-lactams.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  Systematic study of hypothetical β-lactamases of M. tuberculosis and related species and their correlation with β-lactam and inhibitor susceptibility profile might be useful in developing new antibiotic regime for the treatment of tuberculosis caused by multiple drug resistant (MDR) strains.  相似文献

Temperature-sensitive mutant 2-20/32 of Mycobacterium smegmatis mc(2)155 was isolated and genetically complemented with a Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv DNA fragment that contained a single open reading frame. This open reading frame is designated Rv3265c in the M. tuberculosis H37Rv genome. Rv3265c shows homology to the Escherichia coli gene wbbL, which encodes a dTDP-Rha:alpha-D-GlcNAc-pyrophosphate polyprenol, alpha-3-L-rhamnosyltransferase. In E. coli this enzyme is involved in O-antigen synthesis, but in mycobacteria it is required for the rhamnosyl-containing linker unit responsible for the attachment of the cell wall polymer mycolyl-arabinogalactan to the peptidoglycan. The M. tuberculosis wbbL homologue, encoded by Rv3265c, was shown to be capable of restoring an E. coli K12 strain containing an insertionally inactivated wbbL to O-antigen positive. Likewise, the E. coli wbbL gene allowed 2-20/32 to grow at higher non-permissive temperatures. The rhamnosyltransferase activity of M. tuberculosis WbbL was demonstrated in 2-20/32 as was the loss of this transferase activity in 2-20/32 at elevated temperatures. The wbbL of the temperature-sensitive mutant contained a single-base change that converted what was a proline in mc(2)155 to a serine residue. Exposure of 2-20/32 to higher non-permissive temperatures resulted in bacteria that could not be recovered at the lower permissive temperatures.  相似文献

Gene fadD33 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, one of the 36 homologues of gene fadD of Escherichia coli identified in the M. tuberculosis genome, predictively encodes an acyl-CoA synthase, an enzyme involved in fatty acids metabolism. The gene is underexpressed in the attenuated strain M. tuberculosis H37Ra relative to virulent H37Rv and plays a role in M. tuberculosis virulence in BALB/c mice by supporting mycobacterial replication in the liver. In the present paper, we investigated the role of fadD33 expression in bacterial growth within the hepatocyte cell line HepG2, as well as in human monocyte-derived THP-1 cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells. M. tuberculosis H37Rv proved able to grow within HepG2 cells, while the intracellular replication of M. tuberculosis H37Ra was markedly impaired; complementation of strain H37Ra with gene fadD33 restored its replication to the levels of H37Rv. Moreover, disruption of gene fadD33 by allelic exchange mutagenesis reduced the intracellular growth of M. tuberculosis H37Rv, and complementation of the fadD33-disrupted mutant with gene fadD33 restored bacterial replication. Conversely, fadD33 expression proved unable to influence M. tuberculosis growth in human phagocytes, as fadD33-disrupted M. tuberculosis H37Rv mutant, as well as fadD33-complemented M. tuberculosis H37Ra, grew within THP-1 cells and peripheral monocytes basically at the same rates as parent H37Rv and H37Ra strains. The results of these experiments indicate that gene fadD33 expression confers growth advantage to M. tuberculosis in immortalized hepatocytes, but not in macrophages, thus emphasizing the importance of fadD33 in liver-specific replication of M. tuberculosis.  相似文献

Lipoarabinomannans (LAM), especially mannose-capped LAM, abundant in the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) exhibit a broad spectrum of immunomodulatory functions and emerge as key virulence factors that may be relevant drug targets. The pimA gene of mycobacteria encodes a alpha-mannosyltransferase involved in the transfer reaction of the very first mannose from GDP-mannose to the carrier lipid phosphatidyl-myo-inositol, a precursor in the synthesis of LAM. PimA has been proposed to play an essential role in the growth of mycobacteria. In this study, the pimA gene from M. tuberculosis H37Rv was cloned into the pET28a vector and the recombinant plasmid was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) strain, allowing the expression of the Mtb PimA in fusion with a histidine-rich peptide on the N-terminal. The Mtb PimA was purified from the supernatant of the lysed cells under native conditions by immobilized metal affinity chromatography. The purity and molecular weight of Mtb PimA were determined by high performance liquid chromatography and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight. Circular dichroism spectroscopy study on Mtb PimA showed that the protein was folded. The enzyme assays revealed that Mtb PimA showed a requirement for Mg(2+) for the activity and the K(m) and V(max) values of Mtb PimA were estimated at 18 +/- 2 microM and 0.1 +/- 0.05 nmol/min/microg, respectively. This is the first report describing cloning and expression of GDP-mannosyltransferase gene of M. tuberculosis in E. coli.  相似文献

To examine the virulence factors of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv, the proteome was used to characterize the differences in protein expression between virulent M. tuberculosis H37Rv and attenuated M. tuberculosis H37Ra. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was performed to separate culture supernatant proteins extracted from M. tuberculosis H37Rv and M. tuberculosis H37Ra. The protein spots of interest were identified by mass spectrometry, and then the genes encoding the identified proteins were cloned and sequenced. Comparison of silver-stained gels showed that three well-resolved protein spots were present in M. tuberculosis H37Rv but absent from M. tuberculosis H37Ra. Protein spot no. 1 was identified as Rv2346c. Protein spot no. 2 was identified as Rv2347c, Rv1197, Rv1038c, and Rv3620c, which shared significant homology and had the same peptide fingerprinting using tryptic digestion. No M. tuberculosis protein matched protein spot no. 3. Rv2346c, Rv2347c, Rv1038c, and Rv3620c of M. tuberculosis H37Rv were located on the M. tuberculosis H37Ra chromosome, and multiple mutations were observed in the corresponding areas of M. tuberculosis H37Ra. Codon 59 (CAG, Gln) of Rv2347c and Rv3620c was replaced by termination codon (TAG) in M. tuberculosis H37Ra, which probably terminated the polypeptide elongation. These results demonstrate the importance of studying the gene products of M. tuberculosis and show that subtle differences in isogenic mutant strains might play an important role in identifying the attenuating mutations.  相似文献

The 57-bp tandem repeats located in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis leuA gene code for the α-isopropylmalate synthase (α-IPMS). It is unique to this pathogen. It was previously demonstrated that the leuA -coding sequence Rv3710, containing the tandem repeats, can be translated to an active α-IPMS. The objective of the present study was to investigate the significance and effect of the two 57-bp tandem repeats upon gene expression and the general properties of α-IPMS. The putative M. tuberculosis H37Rv leuA gene with and without the tandem repeats was cloned by PCR and expressed in an Escherichia coli host. The enzyme product was studied for general properties, comparing that from a native leuA gene containing two repeats and that from the 57-bp tandem repeats deletion mutant. Upon deletion of the two 57-bp tandem repeats, the expression level of leuA from M. tuberculosis H37Rv was comparable with that of the native form. The general properties of the two types of enzymes were similar. They were both functional with the same range of optimal temperature and optimal pH for activity and with similar enzyme stability. Deletion of the repeats had no detectable effect on leuA expression level or the general properties of the enzyme product.  相似文献

H37Rv是结核分枝杆菌标准有毒株,H37Ra是从H37Rv获得的稳定减毒株,但目前H37Ra毒力减弱原因尚不完全清楚。本研究利用表型芯片系统,高通量分析H37Ra生长表型,并与H37Rv表型比较,筛选两菌株表型差异,分析与H37Ra毒力减弱可能的相关表型及分子机制。结果发现,与H37Rv相比,H37Ra耐酸及耐渗透压能力显著下降,且不能利用丁二酸单甲酯和吐温40作为碳源。结核分枝杆菌耐酸能力直接影响其在吞噬体中的生存和代谢,耐高渗能力影响其必需营养物质的跨膜运输,代谢途径的改变影响其在宿主内的能量摄取,三者改变均可能与H37Ra毒力减弱相关。  相似文献

We evaluated the in vitro anti-Mycobacterium tuberculosis activity and the cytotoxicity of dichloromethane extract and pure compounds from the leaves of Calophyllum brasiliense. Purification of the dichloromethane extract yielded the pure compounds (-) mammea A/BB (1), (-) mammea B/BB (2) and amentoflavone (3). The compound structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic and spectrometric data. The contents of bioactive compounds in the extracts were quantified using high performance liquid chromatography coupled to an ultraviolet detector. The anti-M. tuberculosis activity of the extracts and the pure compounds was evaluated using a resazurin microtitre assay plate. The cytotoxicity assay was performed in J774G.8 macrophages using the 3-(4,5-dimethyl thiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide colourimetric method. The quantification of the dichloromethane extract showed (1) and (2) at concentrations of 31.86 ± 2.6 and 8.24 ± 1.1 µg/mg of extract, respectively. The dichloromethane and aqueous extracts showed anti-M. tuberculosis H37Rv activity of 62.5 and 125 µg/mL, respectively. Coumarins (1) and (2) showed minimal inhibitory concentration ranges of 31.2 and 62.5 µg/mL against M. tuberculosis H37Rv and clinical isolates. Compound (3) showed no activity against M. tuberculosis H37Rv. The selectivity index ranged from 0.59-1.06. We report the activity of the extracts and coumarins from the leaves of C. brasiliense against M. tuberculosis.  相似文献
