Termitomyces clypeatus secreted a 24-kDa xylanase constitutively in xylan medium, but required a gluconeogenic amino acid or Krebs cycle acid for the secretion of a 56-kDa amyloglucosidase in dextrin medium. Aspartate, glutamate, succinate and fumarate all increased secretion of amyloglucosidase from 50% to >90% and enzyme production by 10-fold with little effect on xylanase production. Glutamate or succinate stimulated in vitro release of intracellular amyloglucosidase from washed mycelia in the presence of cycloheximide. Amyloglucosidase accumulated in the absence of glutamate was a high-molecular-mass protein that did not migrate in PAGE. Cellular regulation by the fungus of the secretion of amyloglucosidase is indicated.  相似文献

The thermostability of cellobiohydrolase I Cel7A from Trichoderma reesei was investigated using dynamic light scattering. While the whole enzyme displayed a melting point of 59 °C, the catalytic domain obtained via papain-catalyzed proteolysis was shown to denature at 51 °C and the cellulose-binding domain (with linker attached) melted at 65-66 °C. This variation in individual melting temperatures is proposed to account for the full retention of binding capacity of Cel7A at 50 °C, along with a loss of catalytic activity observed for the catalytic domain alone. Thus, the cellulose-binding domain of Cel7A acts as a thermostabilizing domain for the enzyme. The effect of reducing agents on the protein melting behavior was also investigated.  相似文献

Chitinase Chit42 from Trichoderma harzianum CECT 2413 is considered to play an important role in the biocontrol activity of this fungus against plant pathogens. Chit42 lacks a chitin-binding domain (ChBD). We have produced hybrid chitinases with stronger chitin-binding capacity by fusing to Chit42 a ChBD from Nicotiana tabacum ChiA chitinase and the cellulose-binding domain from cellobiohydrolase II of Trichoderma reesei. The chimeric chitinases had similar activities towards soluble substrate but higher hydrolytic activity than the native chitinase on high molecular mass insoluble substrates such as ground chitin or chitin-rich fungal cell walls.  相似文献

An alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. strain, KSM-64, produces a mesophilic alkaline endo-1,4-beta-glucanase that is suitable for use in detergents. The deduced amino acid sequence of the enzyme showed very high homology to that of a thermostable alkaline enzyme from alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. strain KSM-S237. Analysis of chimeric enzymes produced from the genes encoding the mesophilic and thermostable enzymes suggested that the lysine residues at positions 137, 179, and 194 are responsible for their thermal stabilization. Replacing the corresponding Glu137, Asn179, and/or Asp194 with lysine by site-directed mutagenesis made the mesophilic enzyme more thermostable. Analyses of the hydrophilicity of deduced amino acid sequences and isoelectric focusing of the modified enzymes suggested that these three specific lysine residues and their replacements are all located on the surface of the enzyme molecule. This fact further suggested that specific ionic interaction is involved in the thermal stabilization of the enzyme.  相似文献

The immobilization of recombinant staphylococci onto cellulose fibers through surface display of a fungal cellulose-binding domain (CBD) was investigated. Chimeric proteins containing the CBD from Trichoderma reesei cellulase Cel6A were found to be correctly targeted to the cell wall of Staphylococcus carnosus cells, since full-length proteins could be extracted and affinity-purified. Furthermore, surface accessibility of the CBD was verified using a monoclonal antibody and functionality in terms of cellulose-binding was demonstrated in two different assays in which recombinant staphylococci were found to efficiently bind to cotton fibers. The implications of this strategy of directed immobilization for the generation of whole-cell microbial tools for different applications will be discussed.  相似文献

Abstract The xynC gene from mesophilic Cellulomonas fimi encodes a large 125 kDa modular xylanase (XYLC), consisting of six distinct functional domains. In addition to a single Family 10 catalytic domain, XYLC contains a domain homologous with the nodulation protein, NodB, from nitrogen-fixing bacteria and therrnostabilizing and cellulose-binding domains found previously only in xylanases from thermophilic bacteria.  相似文献

A test based on the binding of 125I-labelled endoglucanase CelD was used to clone a DNA region encoding at least two different polypeptides that interact with the conserved reiterated segment present in many catalytic components of the Clostridium thermocellum cellulosome. One of the polypeptides corresponds to the COOH-terminal region of the SL (or S1) component of the cellulosome (U.T. Gerngross and A.L. Demain, personal communication). It comprises repeated domains that are responsible for binding 125I-labelled CelD, and presumably represent anchoring sites for the various catalytic components of the cellulosome. The other polypeptide is encoded by a gene that has not yet been described.  相似文献

The 3' region of a gene designated cipB, which shows strong homology with cipA that encodes the cellulosome SL subunit of Clostridium thermocellum ATCC 27405, was isolated from a gene library of C. thermocellum strain YS. The truncated S1 protein encoded by the cipB derivative bound tightly to cellulose. The cellulose-binding domain in this polypeptide consisted of a C-terminal proximal 167 residue sequence which showed complete identity with residues 337-503 of mature SL from C. thermocellum strain ATCC 27405. The cellulose-binding domain interacted with both crystalline and amorphous cellulose, but not with xylan.  相似文献

Abstract More than 80% of the extracellular Avicelase, endoglucanase, xylanase and mannanase activities of the anaerobic fungus Piromyces were associated with a cellulose-binding complex. The complex was composed of at least 10 polypeptides ranging in size from 190 kDa to 50 kDa, and contained numerous endoglucanases, xylanases and mannanases. Multiple genes encoding each of these activities were isolated from an expressing cDNA library.  相似文献

Clostridium thermocellum, a Gram-positive, thermophilic anaerobe produces a highly active cellulase system. This system, termed the cellulosome, is a complex composed of at least 14-18 different types of components organized around a large, cellulose-binding protein. Combining recombinant DNA technology and protein biochemistry has proved to be a successful approach in unravelling some important features of the system.  相似文献

The recombinant enzyme lichenase of size 30 kDa was over-expressed using E. coli cells and purified by immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) and size exclusion chromatography. The enzyme displayed high activity towards lichenan and β-glucan. The enzyme showed no activity towards carboxymethyl cellulose, laminarin, galactomannan or glucomannan. Surprisingly, affinity-gel electrophoresis on native-PAGE showed that the enzyme binds only glucomannan and not lichenan or β-glucan or other manno-configured substrates. The enzyme was thermally stable between the temperatures 60°C and 70°C. Presence of Cu2+ ions at a concentration of 5 mM enhanced enzyme activity by 10% but higher concentrations of Cu2+ (>25 mM) showed a sharp fall in the enzyme activity. Heavy metal ions Ni2+, Co2+ and Zn2+ did not affect the activity of the enzyme at low concentrations (0–10 mM) but at higher concentrations (>10 mM), caused a decrease in the enzyme activity. The crystals of lichenase were produced and the 3-dimensional structure of native form of enzyme was previously solved at 1.50 Å. Lichenase displayed (β/α)8-fold a common fold among many glycoside hydrolase families. A cleft was identified that represented the probable location of active site.  相似文献

Five independent collections, comprising a total of 34 clones encoding cellulases, hemicellulases and cell surface proteins of Clostridium thermocellum, were searched for overlapping or contiguous DNA fragments. The clones were hybridized to large genomic restriction fragments separated by pulse-field electrophoresis. Clones hybridizing to the same fragment were further compared by hybridization to smaller fragments, by cross-hybridization and by restriction mapping. The probes hybridized to loci which were usually not clustered and were scattered over at least one third of the chromosome. Besides previously identified clusters, only two clones were found to be adjacent. Two pairs of clones appeared to contain the same genes cloned in duplicate, and one of the genes was shown to be cloned in triplicate.  相似文献

A three-dimensional model of the cellulose-binding domain of the rye-grass pollen allergen Lol pI built by homology modeling is proposed as a structural scaffold for expansins and other expansin-related proteins. A groove and an extended strip of aromatic and polar residues presumably account for the cellulose-binding properties of the protein domain. Two of the four predicted T-cell epitopes readily exposed on the surface of the cellulose-binding domain match with previously reported IgE-binding regions. A close structural relationship occurs between the cellulose-binding and allergenic properties.  相似文献

The cellulose-binding domain (CBD) is the second important and the most wide-spread element of cellulase structure involved in cellulose transformation with a great structural diversity and a range of adsorption behavior toward different types of cellulosic materials. The effect of the CBD from Clostridium cellulovorans on the supramolecular structure of three different sources of cellulose (cotton cellulose, spruce dissolving pulp, and cellulose linters) was studied. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to record amides I and II absorption bands of cotton cellulose treated with CBD. Structural changes as weakening and splitting of the hydrogen bonds within the cellulose chains after CBD adsorption were observed. The decrease of relative crystallinity index of the treated celluloses was confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to confirm the binding of the CBD on the cellulose surface and the changing of the cellulose morphology.  相似文献

Abstract The anaerobic degradation of microcrystalline cellulose by thermostable cellulolytic enzyme complexes from Clostridium thermocellum JW20 (ATCC 31449) was monitored. For quantitative investigations as enzyme-coupled spectrophotometric assay has been developed. The assay allows for the evaluation of the release of cellubiose-/glucose-units from native cellulose. Kinetic studies revealed that the anaerobic breakdown of crystalline cellulose (CC) at 60°C follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics K m CC values have been determined for different aggregation states of the cellulolytic complex. The presented assay seems well suited to screen for CC-degrading enzymes of various sources, and to further explore the mechanism of CC-breakdown.  相似文献
