Cloning of the pectate lyase genes from Erwinia carotovora and their expression in Escherichia coli

A hybrid cosmid coding for pectate lyase (PL) activity was identified from an Erwinia carotovora genomic library by an immunological screening method. A 7-kb DNA fragment was identified which codes for three proteins identical in size to proteins with PL activity purified from E. carotovora culture supernatants. The three proteins had apparent Mrs of 41, 44 and 44 X 10(3) as estimated by SDS-PAGE. None of the PLs were exported from Escherichia coli strain HB101 but all were found in the periplasmic space. Plant tissue was macerated by the PLs made in E. coli.     

Co-regulation of the phosphate-binding protein and alkaline phosphatase synthesis in Escherichia coli.

In phosphate-starved cells of Escherichia coli, the synthesis of alkaline phosphatase and some additional periplasmic proteins is derepressed. One of these proteins, which does not appear in a phoS- constitutive strain, has been identified as well the periplasmic phosphate-binding protein.     

Periplasmic protein associated with the oligopeptide permeases of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli.

A periplasmic protein essential for the function of the oligopeptide transport system of Salmonella typhimurium was identified. This protein, encoded by the oppA gene, is one of the most abundant proteins in the periplasm and, with an apparent molecular weight of 52,000, is considerably larger than any other known periplasmic transport component. A similarly abundant periplasmic protein forms part of the oligopeptide transport system of Escherichia coli.     

SurA assists the folding of Escherichia coli outer membrane proteins.

Many proteins require enzymatic assistance in order to achieve a functional conformation. One rate-limiting step in protein folding is the cis-trans isomerization of prolyl residues, a reaction catalyzed by prolyl isomerases. SurA, a periplasmic protein of Escherichia coli, has sequence similarity with the prolyl isomerase parvulin. We tested whether SurA was involved in folding periplasmic and outer membrane proteins by using trypsin sensitivity as an assay for protein conformation. We determined that the efficient folding of three outer membrane proteins (OmpA, OmpF, and LamB) requires SurA in vivo, while the folding of four periplasmic proteins was independent of SurA. We conclude that SurA assists in the folding of certain secreted proteins.     

A morphologic study of filamentous phage infection of Escherichia coli using biotinylated phages

Using biotinylated phage (BIO-phages), we observed the infection of filamentous phages into Escherichia coli JM109 morphologically. BIO-phages and BIO-phage-derived proteins, mainly pVIII, were detected in E. coli by using the avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex method with electron microscopy. Infected cells revealed positive staining on the outer and inner membranes and in the periplasmic space. Some cells showed specific or predominant staining of the outer membrane, whereas others showed predominant staining of the inner membrane or equivalent staining of the outer and inner membranes. The periplasmic spaces in some infected cells were expanded and filled with reaction products. Some cells showed wavy lines of positive staining in the periplasmic space. BIO-phages were detected as thick filaments or clusters covered with reaction products. The ends of the infecting phages were located on the surface of cells, in the periplasmic space, or on the inner membrane. These findings suggest that phage major coat proteins are integrated into the outer membrane and that phages cause periplasmic expansion during infection.     

Characterization of an Escherichia coli rotA mutant, affected in periplasmic peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase

The rotA gene of Escherichia coli encodes a peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase (PPlase), which is supposed to catalyse protein folding in the periplasm. To investigate the importance of the enzyme, the rotA gene was cloned and a chromosomal deletion mutant was created. The rotA mutant was normally viable. No residual PPlase activity could be detected in the periplasmic fraction of the mutant. Comparison of the patterns of periplasmic and outer membrane proteins by SDS-PAGE revealed no differences in protein composition between the rotA mutant and its parental strain. Similarly, the kinetics of periplasmic protein folding and outer membrane protein assembly appeared unaffected by the rotA mutation. Our results show that the periplasmic PPlase of E. coli is not essential and that the protein does not play an important role in protein folding.     

Lateral diffusion of proteins in the periplasm of Escherichia coli.

We have introduced biologically active, fluorescently labeled maltose-binding protein into the periplasmic space of Escherichia coli and measured its lateral diffusion coefficient by the fluorescence photobleaching recovery method. Diffusion of this protein in the periplasm was found to be surprisingly low (lateral diffusion coefficient, 0.9 X 10(-10) cm2 s-1), about 1,000-fold lower than would be expected for diffusion in aqueous medium and almost 100-fold lower than for an equivalent-size protein in the cytoplasm. Galactose-binding protein, myoglobin, and cytochrome c were also introduced into the periplasm and had diffusion coefficients identical to that determined for the maltose-binding protein. For all proteins nearly 100% recovery of fluorescence was obtained after photobleaching, indicating that the periplasm is a single contiguous compartment surrounding the cell. These data have considerable implications for periplasmic structure and for the role of periplasmic proteins in transport and chemotaxis.     

重组蛋白在大肠杆菌周间腔的分泌表达

Expression in periplasmic space of Shewanella oneidensis

A Shewanella expression system has been used for an overproduction of c-type multiheme proteins. The proteins were exported to the periplasmic space for the maturation. Since the periplasmic expression system is attractive, especially for protease-sensitive proteins, an expression vector containing a signal peptide was constructed for expressions in the periplasmic space of Shewanella oneidensis. To evaluate the system, two eukaryotic proteins which originally do not have signal sequences and are difficult to express in Escherichia coli, were selected. The first is human cytochrome c. Properties of the recombinant cytochrome c were identical to those previously reported, indicating the protein is intact. The other was potato calcium-dependent protein kinase. The protein was expressed in periplasmic space. These results indicated that the system is generally applicable for any protein expression including c-type cytochromes, protease-sensitive proteins and those with multi-disulfide bonds because of transportation to the periplasmic space.
