The Aspergillus niger carbon catabolite repressor encoding gene, creA

In order to undertake a comparative analysis of carbon catabolite repression in two Aspergillus species, the creA gene has been isolated from A. niger by cross hybridization, using the cloned A. nidulans gene. The A. niger gene has been shown to be functional in A. nidulans by heterologous complementation of the creA204 mutation of A. nidulans. Overall, the genes show 90% sequence similarity (82% identity) at the amino acid (aa) level. There were some striking similarities between the aa sequences encoded by the two fungal creA genes and two genes involved in carbon catabolite repression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The zinc-finger regions showed 96% similarity (84% identity) with the zinc-finger region of the MIG1 gene of S. cerevisiae. The CREA protein contains a stretch of 42 aa that is identical in A. niger and A. nidulans, and these show 81% similarity (33% identity) with a region of the S. cerevisiae RGR1 gene.     

Cloning and characterization of the rat TIS11 gene

Pirfenidone (Pf), a new broad-spectrum anti-fibrotic agent, is known to offer protection against lung fibrosis in vivo in laboratory animals, and against mitogenesis and collagen formation by human lung fibroblasts in vitro. Because reactive oxygen species are thought to be involved in these events, we investigated the mechanism(s) by which Pf ameliorates oxidative stress and its effects on NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation. Pf has been shown to cause inhibit NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation in sheep liver microsomes in a dose-dependent manner. The concentration of Pf required to cause 50% inhibition of lipid peroxidation was ~ 6 mM. Pf was found to be ineffective as a superoxide radical scavenger. Pf was also ineffective in decomposing H₂O₂ and chelating iron. In deoxyribose degradation assays, Pf was a potent scavenger of hydroxyl radicals with a rate constant of 5.4 × 10⁹ M^-1 sec^-1. EPR spectroscopy in combination with spin trapping techniques, using a Fenton type reaction and DMPO as a spin-trapping agent, Pf scavenged hydroxyl radicals in a dose-dependent manner. The concentration of Pf required to inhibit 50% signal height was ~ 2.5 mM. Because iron was used in the Fenton reaction, the ability of Pf in chelating iron was verified in a fluorescent competitive assay using calcein as the fluorescent probe. Pf up to 10 mM concentration was ineffective in chelating either Fe²⁺ or Fe³⁺ in this system. We propose that Pf exerts its beneficial effects, at least in part, through its ability to scavenge toxic hydroxyl radicals.     

Cloning and sequencing of a gene encoding the 69-kDa extracellular chitinase of Janthinobacterium lividum

Abstract Janthinobacterium lividum secretes a major 56-kDa chitinase and a minor 69-kDa chitinase. A chitinase gene was defined on a 3-kb fragment of clone pRKT10, by virtue of fluorescent colonies in the presence of 4-methylumbelliferyl-β-d-N,N',N"-chitotrioside. Nucleotide sequencing revealed an 1998-bp open reading frame with the potential to encode a 69 716-Da protein with amino acid sequences similar to those in other chitinases, suggesting it encodes the minor chitinase (Chi69). Chitinase activity of Escherichia coli (pRKTIO) lysates was detected mainly in the periplasmic fraction and immunoblotting detected a 70-kDa protein in this fraction. Chi69 has an N-terminal secretory leader peptide preceding two probable chitin-binding domains and a catalytic domain. These functional domains are separated by linker regions of proline-threonine repeats. Amino acid sequencing of cyanogen bromide cleavage-derived peptides from the major 56-kDa chitinase suggested that Chi69 may be a precursor of Chi56. In addition, an N-terminally truncated version of Chi69 retained chitinase activity as expected if in vivo processing of Chi69 generates Chi56.

Cloning, sequence analysis and heterologous expression of the Myrothecium gramineum orotidine-5'-monophosphate decarboxylase gene

A 2918 bp sequence coding for the orotidine-5'-monophosphate decarboxylase enzyme (OMPD) was isolated from the genome of Myrothecium gramineum. This sequence was analysed and, remarkably, it is the first OMPD gene of a Sordariomycete that has an intron. The gene codes for an enzyme of 282 amino acids. The nucleotide sequence and the amino acid sequence were compared with fungal OMPD sequences. They show the highest similarity to OMPD genes and enzymes of Aspergillus sp., Penicillium sp. and Cladosporium fulvum. The functionality of the gene as a selection marker was proven by complementation of the uracil auxotrophy of Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A722.

Cloning and characterization of a lysine decarboxylase gene from Hafnia alvei

Summary A lysine decarboxylase (LDC) gene from Hafnia alvei was cloned in the Escherichia coli strain HB101. A gene bank consisting of 2,000 clones, carrying recombinant plasmids with large DNA fragments of H. alvei integrated in the BamH1 site of pBR322, was screened for LDC activity by a colony filter radioimmunoassay. The gene bank yielded clone 462 expressing high LDC activity with the presence of a plasmid carrying a 7.5 kb insert of H. alvei. Two LDC-positive subclones derived from 462 with inserts of 2.9 and 3.3 kb were sequenced by the shotgun method. An open reading frame for a 83 K protein with 739 amino acids was determined as the coding region for the LDC. The identification of this reading frame as the true reading frame of the H. alvei LDC gene and its similarities with LDC of E. coli are described. The use of the cloned gene for the transformation of plant cells is discussed.
