In order to overcome the defects of difficult gene operations in low-copy suicide plasmid pCVD442, Gateway technology was applied in the construction process of recombinant plasmid for gene knockout in this study. With this improved knockout system, we inactivatedsitC gene, which is associated with iron transport inShigella flexneri 2a strain 301, to yield the mutant, MTS. The functional detection of the mutant was performed at the level of culture medium, cell and animal experiment, respectively. The gene expression profiles were compared with DNA microarray between the mutant and the wild type under iron-restricted conditions. The results showed that MTS grew obviously less well than the wild-type strains in L broth containing 150 μmol/L iron chelator DIP (2,2′-dipyridyl). Addition of iron or manganese to the cultures stimulated the growth of MTS to wild-type levels in rich culture medium. In either the experiment on the ability of intracellular multiplication and cell-to-cell spread in HeLa and U937 cell lines, or the experiment on keratoconjunctivitis in guinea pigs, MTS showed no obvious changes in virulence compared with the parental strain Sf301. When 65 μmol/L DIP was added to the cultured HeLa cells, the ability of intracellular multiplication of MTS reduced about 51.6% as compared with that of Sf301. The analysis of expression profiles under iron-limited condition showed that MTS was more sensitive for the change of iron deficiency than Sf301. There are 106 more up-regulated genes in MTS than in wild-type strains, which are involved in membrane transportation, amino acid metabolism and uncategorized function genes, while down-regulated genes are mainly involved in energy and carbohydrate metabolism. Under low iron conditions, the expression levels of known iron-transport associated genes generally increased. Additionally, the number of these genes and their increase amplitude in MTS are more than those in Sf301. Together, these results confirmed that Sit iron-transport system is important for the growth ofShigella.  相似文献

The lipoamide dehydrogenase (LPD) encoded by lpdA gene is a component of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHc), alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase (AKGDH) and the glycine cleavage multi-enzyme (GCV) systems. In the present study, cell growth characteristics, enzyme activities and intracellular metabolite concentrations were compared between the parent strain Escherichia coli BW25113 and its lpdA knockout mutant in batch and continuous cultures. The lpdA knockout mutant produced significantly more pyruvate and L-glutamate under aerobiosis. Some D-lactate and succinate also accumulated in the culture broth. Based on the investigation of enzyme activities and intracellular metabolite concentrations, acetyl-CoA was considered to be formed by the combined reactions through pyruvate oxidase (PoxB), acetyl-CoA synthetase (Acs) and acetate kinase (Ack)-phosphoacetyltransferase (Pta) in the lpdA mutant. The effect of the lpdA gene knockout on the intracellular metabolic flux distributions was investigated based on 1H-13C NMR spectra and GC-MS signals obtained from 13C-labeling experiment using the mixture of [U-13C] glucose, [1-13C] glucose, and naturally labeled glucose. Flux analysis of the lpdA mutant indicated that the Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway and the glyoxylate shunt were activated. The fluxes through glycolysis and oxidative pentose phosphate (PP) pathway (except for the flux through glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) were slightly downregulated. The TCA cycle was also downregulated in the mutant strain. On the other hand, the fluxes through the anaplerotic reactions of PEP carboxylase, PEP carboxykinase and malic enzyme were upregulated, which were consistent with the results of enzyme activities. Furthermore, the influence of the poxB gene knockout on the growth of E. coli was also studied because of its similar function to PDHc which connects the glycolysis to the TCA cycle. Under aerobiosis, a comparison of lpdA mutant and poxB mutant indicated that PDHc is the main enzyme which catalyzes the reaction from pyruvate to acetyl-CoA in the parent strain, while PoxB plays a very important role in the PDHc-deficient strain.  相似文献

The Arc system is a two-component regulatory system composed of ArcA and ArcB in Escherichia coli. In the present study, the effects of arcA and arcB genes knockout on the TCA cycle activation in E. coli were investigated for the anaerobic and microaerobic conditions. Under anaerobic condition, the TCA cycle was up-regulated along with high lactate production, together with up-regulation of LDH for arcB mutant as compared with the parent strain. Due to down-regulation of aceE, aceF and lpdA genes which code for PDHc and low activity of Pfl in arcB mutant, the glycolysis as well as oxidative pentose phosphate pathway was down-regulated under anaerobic condition. The TCA cycle enzymes were further up-regulated when nitrate was added by modifying the redox state along with lower lactate production for arcB mutant. Different from the case of anaerobic condition, the glycolysis was activated under microaerobic condition, which may be partly due to the increased activity of PDHc encoded by aceE, F and lpdA genes. Under microaerobic condition, the TCA cycle genes together with their corresponding enzymes were up-regulated for arcB mutant as compared with the parent strain. These characteristics were further enhanced in arcA mutant as compared with the case of arcB mutant. The up-regulation of the TCA cycle together with down-regulation of cydB gene expression caused higher redox state in the arcA/B mutants, which in turn repressed the TCA cycle. Then the TCA cycle could be further increased by the addition of nicotinic acid (NA).  相似文献

鸟氨酸-尿素循环(OUC)是生物新陈代谢过程中的重要循环过程,但在贝类中尚缺乏相关研究。为此,以厚壳贻贝为研究对象,分别采用氨基酸分析仪和荧光定量PCR研究了其外套膜和后闭壳肌组织中的鸟氨酸-尿素循环途径的主要代谢物和关键基因的含量及其表达量;进一步测试了在精氨酸注射条件下,各主要代谢物和关键基因的含量及表达量变化,以及13C标记尿素注射贻贝后,其贝壳中δ13C比值(13C/12C)变化。结果表明,厚壳贻贝外套膜和后闭壳肌均含有较高浓度的尿素;精氨酸注射导致其两种组织中尿素浓度显著上升(P<0.01),以及瓜氨酸浓度显著下降(P<0.01),但鸟氨酸浓度维持相对稳定的水平。精氨酸注射显著上调了两种组织中的脲酶基因的表达量(P<0.01),但其他基因表达量的变化在两种组织中存在差异,显示出鸟氨酸-尿素循环途径在其两种组织中具有复杂而不同的调控过程。13C标记尿素注射贻贝显著上调了贝壳中δ13C的比值(P <0.01),表明尿素分子可能参与了贻贝贝壳的生物矿化过程。上述研究为深入了解贻贝鸟氨酸-尿素途径与生物矿化之间的关联,以及探讨贻贝对海水酸化耐受性的内在分子机制奠定了基础。  相似文献

热休克蛋白70(HSP70)作为一种分子伴侣,在环境毒理学中受到广泛研究。前期研究表明稀有鮈鲫HSP70基因(GrHSP70)表达量与五氯酚(pentachlorophenol, PCP)处理的浓度和时间在肝脏中呈现剂量/时间-依赖效应。为探究启动子在热休克蛋白70表达调控中的作用,根据已知的GrHSP70 cDNA序列,采用染色体步移技术克隆了GrHSP70的5'侧翼区的核苷酸序列。生物信息学分析从预测的转录起始位点(C)起的5'侧翼区域共1 487bp,潜在的转录因子结合位点包括雌激素响应元件(ERE)、Sp1结合位点(Sp1)、糖皮质激素响应元件(GRE)、TATA结合蛋白(TBP)、CCAAT/增强子蛋白结合位点(C/EBP)、Oct-1结合位点(Oct-1)、GATA转录因子结合位点(GATA-1)等。实验构建了含有启动子缺失片段的萤火虫萤光素酶(firefly luciferase)和海肾萤光素酶(renilla luciferase)报告基因表达载体,瞬时转染HeLa细胞后,利用双荧光活性检测确定获得的GrHSP70启动子具有启动活性,其核心启动位点位于转录起始点上游-1 487~-1 093bp。同时,用不同浓度PCP暴露成功转染了重组质粒(pGL-HSP70 promoter-Luc+)的HeLa细胞,培养24h后检测双荧光活性,与对照相比,随PCP浓度的增加,荧光活性均显著增加。说明在稀有鮈鲫肝脏中PCP会通过激活GrHSP70启动子来诱导GrHSP70表达,但PCP在稀有鮈鲫体内通过何种机制来调节HSP70的合成,仍然需要进一步研究。  相似文献

To elucidate the physiological adaptation of Escherichia coli due to cra gene knockout, a total of 3,911 gene expressions were investigated by DNA microarray for continuous culture. About 50 genes were differentially regulated for the cra mutant. TCA cycle and glyoxylate shunt were down-regulated, while pentose phosphate (PP) pathway and Entner Doudoroff (ED) pathway were up-regulated in the cra mutant. The glucose uptake rate and the acetate production rate were increased with less acetate consumption for the cra mutant. To identify the genes controlled by Cra protein, the Cra recognition weight matrix from foot-printing data was developed and used to scan the whole genome. Several new Cra-binding sites were found, and some of the result was consistent with the DNA microarray data. The ED pathway was active in the cra mutant; we constructed cra.edd double genes knockout mutant to block this pathway, where the acetate overflowed due to the down-regulation of aceA,B and icd gene expressions. Then we further constructed cra.edd.iclR triple genes knockout mutant to direct the carbon flow through the glyoxylate pathway. The cra.edd.iclR mutant showed the least acetate production, resulting in the highest cell yield together with the activation of the glycolysis pathway, but the glucose consumption rate could not be improved.

This study investigates the effect of overexpression of key glycolytic enzymes exhibiting either native or alternative allosteric regulation on glucose bioconversion by resting Escherichia coli cells previously engineered for ethanol production. Homologous and heterologous pyruvate kinases (Pyk) and phosphofructokinases (Pfk) were individually and simultaneously overexpressed. Overexpression of the E. coli Pfk led to a shift from ethanol to lactate formation (three-fold above the control level) while overexpression of Pyks accelerated lactate formation two-fold with less reduction in ethanol formation. Further increase in lactate formation (five-fold above the control level) resulted from overexpression of Pfk from Lactobacillus bulgaricus which, unlike the E. coli Pfk, is not allosterically regulated by either phosphoenolpyruvate or ADP. These effects on the carbon flux distribution were accompanied by significant changes in the intracellular concentrations of several glycolytic intermediates. Increased Pfk levels led primarily to reduced levels of hexose phosphates. Increased Pyk activity resulted in more complex changes which were different for overexpressed native Pyk and for overexpressed Bacillus stearothermophilus Pyk, which differs from E. coli Pyk in lacking activation by fructose 1,6-diphosphate, but is allosterically activated by AMP and ribose 5-phosphate. Simultaneous overexpression of native Pfk and Pyk caused a Pfk-overexpression-like phenotype with lower levels of hexose phosphates and further increased lactate formation (nine-fold above the control level). The flux data demonstrate that overexpression of even single enzymes early in a central pathway can increase the fluxes to a particular metabolic product, although it may not affect the glucose uptake rate.  相似文献

Identification of genes associated with heat tolerance is important for developing heat-tolerant plants. The objectives of this study were to compare genes differentially expressed in shoots and roots in two Agrostis grass species contrasting in heat tolerance under different temperature regimes and to identify up-regulated genes associated with heat-stress adaptation in Agrostis grass species. Heat-tolerant, thermal A. scabra, adapted to geothermal areas in Yellowstone National Park, and heat-sensitive A. stolonifera, used as a turf and forage grass in cool climatic regions, were exposed to 20 or 40 °C in growth chambers. Leaves and roots were sampled at 7 day of treatment to evaluate physiological responses to heat stress and to perform differential display analysis. Thermal A. scabara maintained significantly higher leaf chlorophyll content and root viability and lower electrolyte leakage (EL) following 7 day of heat stress, compared to A. stolonifera. Differential display analysis of leaf samples revealed that 21 gene fragments were down-regulated while 18 fragments were up-regulated in heat-stressed A. stolonifera. For thermal A. scabra, 38 gene fragments were down-regulated and 22 fragments were up-regulated under heat stress. Four gene fragments in roots were found to be up-regulated under heat stress. RT-PCR analysis confirmed that one gene fragment in leaves (AsL9) and two gene fragments in roots (AsR1 and AsR2) were expressed only in thermal A. scabra exposed to heat stress. These heat-inducible genes in thermal A. scabra may contribute to its superior ability to survive in chronically high-temperature soils in geothermal areas. Putative functional analysis with BLASTX found that most of the up-regulated genes in both species were involved in stress defense pathways or tolerance mechanisms, such as cell wall elasticity, secondary metabolism, regulatory functions, and protein synthesis.  相似文献
