Nattokinase producing bacterium, B. subtilis YF38, was isolated from douchi, using the fibrin plate method. The gene encoding this enzyme was cloned by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Cytoplasmic
expression of this enzyme in E. coli resulted in inactive inclusion bodies. But with the help of two different signal peptides, the native signal peptide of nattokinase
and the signal peptide of PelB, active nattokinase was successfully expressed in E. coli with periplasmic secretion, and the nattokinase in culture medium displayed high fibrinolytic activity. The fibrinolytic
activity of the expressed enzyme in the culture was determined to reach 260 urokinase units per micro-liter when the recombinant
strain was induced by 0.7 mmol l−1 isopropyl-β-D- thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) at 20°C for 20 h, resulting 49.3 mg active enzyme per liter culture. The characteristic
of this recombinant nattokinase is comparable to the native nattokinase from B. subtilis YF38. Secretory expression of nattokinase in E. coli would facilitate the development of this enzyme into a therapeutic product for the control and prevention of thrombosis diseases. 相似文献

Previous work from our laboratory has shown that most of Bacillus thuringiensis strains possess the ability to produce melanin in the presence of l-tyrosine at elevated temperatures (42 °C). Furthermore, it was shown that the melanin produced by B. thuringiensis was synthesized by the action of tyrosinase, which catalyzed the conversion of l-tyrosine, via l-DOPA, to melanin. In this study, the tyrosinase-encoding gene (mel) from B. thuringiensis 4D11 was cloned using PCR techniques and expressed in Escherichia coli DH5 . A DNA fragment with 1179 bp which contained the intact mel gene in the recombinant plasmid pGEM1179 imparted the ability to synthesize melanin to the E. coli recipient strain. The nucleotide sequence of this DNA fragment revealed an open reading frame of 744 bp, encoding a protein of 248 amino acids. The novel mel gene from B.thuringiensis expressed in E. coli DH5 conferred UV protection on the recipient strain. 相似文献

Cry4Aa produced by Bacillus thuringiensis is a dipteran-specific toxin and is, therefore, of great interest for developing a bioinsecticide to control mosquitoes.
However, the expression of Cry4Aa in Escherichia coli is relatively low, which is a major disadvantage in its development as a bioinsecticide. In this study, to establish an effective
production system, a 1,914-bp modified gene (cry4Aa-S1) encoding Cry4Aa was designed and synthesized in accordance with the G + C content and codon preference of E. coli genes without altering the encoded amino acid sequence. The cry4Aa-S1 gene allowed a significant improvement in expression level, over five-fold, compared to that of the original cry4Aa gene. The product of the cry4Aa-S1 gene showed the same level of insecticidal activity against Culex pipiens larvae as that from cry4Aa. This suggested that unfavorable codon usage was one of the reasons for poor expression of cry4Aa in E. coli, and, therefore, changing the cry4Aa codons to accord with the codon usage in E. coli led to efficient production of Cry4Aa. Efficient production of Cry4Aa in E. coli can be a powerful measure to prepare a sufficient amount of Cry4Aa protein for both basic analytical and applied researches. 相似文献

Zwittermicin A (ZwA) is a novel, broad-spectrum linear aminopolyol antibiotic produced by some Bacillus cereus and Bacillus thuringiensis. However, only part of its biosynthesis cluster has been identified and characterized from B. cereus UW85. To better understand the biosynthesis cluster of ZwA, a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library of B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki strain YBT-1520, a ZwA-producing strain, was constructed. Two BAC clones, 1F8 and 5E2, were obtained by PCR, which overlap
the known ZwA biosynthesis cluster of B. cereus UW85. This ZwA biosynthesis cluster is at least 38.6 kb and is located on the chromosome, instead of the plasmid. Partial
DNA sequencing revealed both BAC clones carry three new ZwA biosynthesis-related genes, zwa6, zwa5A and zwa5B, which were found at the corresponding location of B. cereus UW85. Putative amino acid sequences of these genes shown that ZWA6 is homologous to a typical carbamoyltransferase from Streptomyces avermitilis, while ZWA5A and ZWA5B are homologs of cysteine synthetase and ornithine cyclodeaminase which jointly synthesize 2,3-diaminopropionate
in the viomycin biosynthesis pathway, respectively. The identification of these three genes further supports the hypothesized
ZwA biosynthesis pathway. 相似文献

Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki HD-73 was transformed with the homologous endochitinase gene chiA74 of B. thuringiensis subsp. kenyae LBIT-82 under the regulation of its own promoter and Shine–Dalgarno sequence. The plasmid, pEHchiA74, which harbors chiA74, was detected by southern blot analysis and showed high segregational stability when the recombinant strain was grown in
a medium without antibiotic. The recombinant bacterium transformed with pEHchiA74 showed an improvement in chitinolytic activity
three times that of the wild-type strain. Expression of ChiA74 did not have any deleterious effect on the crystal morphology
and size, but sporulation and Cry1Ac production in rich medium (nutrient broth with glucose) was reduced by approximately
30%. No significant increase in the toxicity of the transformant bacterium toward Plutella xylostella was detected using the same amount of total protein. However, it is possible that ChiA74 synthesis compensated for the decrease
in net Cry1Ac synthesis and toxicity observed with the recombinant strain. 相似文献

The six most toxic Pakistani isolates of Bacillus thuringiensis (SBS Bt-23, 29, 34, 37, 45 and 47), which were previously characterized for their toxicity against larvae of mosquito, Anopheles stephensi, and the presence of cry4 gene, were used for cry11 (cry4D) gene amplification. A 1.9-kb DNA fragment of cry11 gene was PCR-amplified, cloned in expression vector pT7-7, and then used for transformation of E. coli BL21C. The optimum expression was obtained with 1 mM IPTG at 37°C for 3 h. This gene showed different percentage homologies
at protein level with scattered mutations in the toxic region. Biotoxicity assay of recombinant protein showed that Cry11
of SBS Bt 45 (DAB Bt 5) was the most toxic protein against third instar larvae of mosquito, A. stephensi, and has potentiality of a bioinsecticide against mosquitoes. 相似文献

Shuttle vectors for Bacillus thuringiensis or Bacillus cereus usually cannot hold fragments larger than 20 kb. With the development of genome research, shuttle vectors with higher loading
capacity are necessary. We constructed an Escherichia coli to B. thuringiensis shuttle vector, pEMB0557, with a large loading capacity. This vector incorporated the ori60 replicon from B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki YBT-1520, erythromycin resistance (B. thuringiensis), and chloromycetin resistance (E. coli) genes. A bacterial artificial chromosome library of B. thuringiensis strain CT-43 was constructed and pEMB0557 was able to accommodate at least a 70-kb DNA fragment. Simultaneously, the cry1B gene on a 40-kb fragment could express a 140-kDa protein in plasmid-cured B. thuringiensis BMB171. Due to its high capacity and utility in expressing exogenous genes, pEMB0557 will be useful in cloning (especially
silencing genes) and expressing large DNA fragments (e.g., gene clusters) in B. thuringiensis. Plasmid pEMB0557 provides a new tool for B. thuringiensis genome or B. cereus group research. 相似文献

Escherichia coli W was genetically engineered to produce l-alanine as the primary fermentation product from sugars by replacing the native d-lactate dehydrogenase of E. coli SZ194 with alanine dehydrogenase from Geobacillus stearothermophilus. As a result, the heterologous alanine dehydrogenase gene was integrated under the regulation of the native d-lactate dehydrogenase (ldhA) promoter. This homologous promoter is growth-regulated and provides high levels of expression during anaerobic fermentation.
Strain XZ111 accumulated alanine as the primary product during glucose fermentation. The methylglyoxal synthase gene (mgsA) was deleted to eliminate low levels of lactate and improve growth, and the catabolic alanine racemase gene (dadX) was deleted to minimize conversion of l-alanine to d-alanine. In these strains, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidation during alanine biosynthesis is obligately
linked to adenosine triphosphate production and cell growth. This linkage provided a basis for metabolic evolution where selection
for improvements in growth coselected for increased glycolytic flux and alanine production. The resulting strain, XZ132, produced
1,279 mmol alanine from 120 g l−1 glucose within 48 h during batch fermentation in the mineral salts medium. The alanine yield was 95% on a weight basis (g
g−1 glucose) with a chiral purity greater than 99.5% l-alanine.

A polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method for identification of cry2 genes from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) was established. Strains from different sources of Argentina were analyzed to study the distribution of cry2 genes. The results showed that cry2Aa/cry2Ab profile was the most abundant irrespective of source and represented 56 of 59 Bt isolates (94.9%). Three different cry2 profiles were found in this collection, one of which was novel. 相似文献

According to the amino acid sequence, a codon-optimized xylanase gene (xynA1) from Thermomyces lanuginosus DSM 5826 was synthesized to construct the expression vector pHsh-xynA1. After optimization of the mRNA secondary structure in the translational initiation region of pHsh-xynA1, free energy of the 70 nt was changed from −6.56 to −4.96 cal/mol, and the spacing between AUG and the Shine-Dalgarno sequence
was decreased from 15 to 8 nt. The expression level was increased from 1.3 to 13% of total cell protein. A maximum xylanase
activity of 47.1 U/mL was obtained from cellular extract. The recombinant enzyme was purified 21.5-fold from the cellular
extract of Escherichia coli by heat treatment, DEAE-Sepharose FF column and t-Butyl-HIC column. The optimal temperature and pH were 65 °C and pH 6.0,
respectively. The purified enzyme was stable for 30 min over the pH range of 5.0–8.0 at 60 °C, and had a half-life of 3 h
at 65 °C. 相似文献

A two-parameter statistical model was used to predict the solubility of 96 putative virulence-associated proteins of Flavobacterium psychrophilum (CSF259-93) upon over expression in Escherichia coli. This analysis indicated that 88.5% of the F. psychrophilum proteins would be expressed as insoluble aggregates (inclusion bodies). These solubility predictions were verified experimentally
by colony filtration blot for six different F. psychrophilum proteins. A comprehensive analysis of codon usage identified over a dozen codons that are used frequently in F. psychrophilum, but that are rarely used in E. coli. Expression of F. psychrophilum proteins in E. coli was often associated with production of minor molecular weight products, presumably because of the codon usage bias between
these two organisms. Expression of recombinant protein in the presence of rare tRNA genes resulted in marginal improvements
in the expressed products. Consequently, Vibrio parahaemolyticus was developed as an alternative expression host because its codon usage is similar to F. psychrophilum. A full-length recombinant F. psychrophilum hemolysin was successfully expressed and purified from V. parahaemolyticus in soluble form, whereas this protein was insoluble upon expression in E. coli. We show that V. parahaemolyticus can be used as an alternate heterologous expression system that can remedy challenges associated with expression and production
of F. psychrophilum recombinant proteins. 相似文献

E. coli was metabolically engineered to produce vanillin by expression of the fcs and ech genes from Amycolatopsis sp. encoding feruloyl-CoA synthetase and enoyl-CoA hydratase/aldolase, respectively. Vanillin production was optimized by
leaky expression of the genes, under the IPTG-inducible trc promoter, in complex 2YT medium. Supplementation with glucose, fructose, galactose, arabinose or glycerol severely decreased
vanillin production. The highest vanillin production of 1.1 g l−1 was obtained with cultivation for 48 h in 2YT medium with 0.2% (w/v) ferulate, without IPTG and no supplementation of carbon
sources. 相似文献

Anaerobic fungi belonging to the family Neocallimastigaceae are native inhabitants in the rumen of the most herbivores, such
as cattle, sheep and goats. A member of this unique group, Neocallimastix sp. GMLF2 was isolated from cattle feces and screened for its xylanase encoding gene using polymerase chain reaction. The
gene coding for a xylanase (xyn2A) was cloned in Escherichia coli and expression was monitored. To determine the enzyme activity, assays were conducted for both fungal xylanase and cloned
xylanase (Xyl2A) for supernatant and cell-associated activities. Optimum pH and temperature of the enzyme were found to be
6.5 and 50°C, respectively. The enzyme was stable at 40°C and 50°C for 20 min but lost most of its activity when temperature
reached 60°C for 5-min incubation time. Rumen fungal xylanase was mainly released to the supernatant of culture, while cloned
xylanase activity was found as cell-associated. Multiple alignment of the amino acid sequences of Xyl2A with published xylanases
from various organisms suggested that Xyl2A belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 11. 相似文献

Campoletis chlorideae Uchida (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) is an important solitary larval endoparasitoid of the tomato fruit borer Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in India. The interaction between Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies kurstaki (Btk) HD-1 and C. chlorideae was studied under laboratory condition to explore their compatibility in managing H. armigera. The results had indicated that the growth and development of H. armigera was affected in a dose-dependent manner upon feeding on sublethal doses of Btk HD-1-treated diets. There were no larval survivors in lethal doses of Btk HD-1 (LC70 and LC90). The growth and survival of the parasitoid were normal when the host larvae were fed with sublethal doses or subjected to
short time exposure to lethal doses of Btk HD-1. However, the parasitoid offsprings developed slowly and pupal as well as adult period, adult weight and adult emergence
rate were reduced significantly if the parasitoid was developing inside a severely Bt intoxicated host larvae. There were no evident differences in longevity of parasitoid adults that were fed on honey solution
containing different concentrations of Btk HD-1 as compared to adults fed only on honey solution. This indicates no direct adverse effect of Btk HD-1 on C. chlorideae. Further, the gravid female parasitoid did not discriminate Btk HD-1 intoxicated and normal H. armigera larvae for oviposition. The result implies that spore crystal formulation of Btk HD-1 can be effectively used in a synergistic manner along with existing natural or prereleased population of C. chlorideae in organic farming or as components in biointensive IPM module for managing H. armigera. 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.

A nonlinear model of a recombinant Escherichia coli producing porcine growth hormone (pGH) fermentation was developed. The model was used to calculate a glucose feeding and
temperature strategy to optimize the production of pGH. Simulations showed that the implementation of optimal feed and temperature
profiles was sensitive to the maximum specific growth rate, and a mismatch could result in excessive acetate production and
a significant reduction in pGH yield. An optimization algorithm was thus developed, using feedback control, to counter the
effects of uncertainty in the specific growth rate and thus determine an optimal operating strategy for pGH production. This
policy was experimentally implemented in a 10 L fermenter and resulted in a 125% increase in productivity over the previous
best experimental result with this system—in spite of significant plant-model mismatch. 相似文献

Although TauA shares few common characteristics with other known periplasmic binding protein, TauA is a putative periplasmic
binding protein, part of tauABCD gene cluster involved in sulfonate transport in sulphate starvation condition. This protein was expressed in E. coli BL 21 and purified before to assess its binding functionalities. Measurement of K
d value (mean 11.3 nM) by binding/dialysis studies revealed high affinity and specificity with taurine and also indicated that TauA possessed a
unique binding site for its ligand. Comparisons with other periplasmic binding proteins suggests TauA plays a major role in
ABC transport system and could be ideal candidate to serve as taurine catcher in biological fluids. 相似文献

A recombinant butanol pathway composed of Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 genes, thiL, hbd, crt, bcd-etfB-etfA, and adhe1 (or adhe) coding for acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase (THL), β-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase (HBD), 3-hydroxybutyryl-CoA dehydratase
(CRT), butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase (BCD), butyraldehyde dehydrogenase (BYDH), and butanol dehydrogenase (BDH), under the tac promoter control was constructed and was introduced into Escherichia coli. The functional expression of these six enzymes was proved by demonstrating the corresponding enzyme activities using spectrophotometric,
high performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography analyses. The BCD activity, which was not detected in E. coli previously, was shown in the present study by performing the procedure from cell extract preparation to activity measurement
under anaerobic condition. Moreover, the etfA and etfB co-expression was found to be essential for the BCD activity. In the case of BYDH activity, the adhe gene product was shown to have higher specificity towards butyryl-CoA compared to the adhe1 product. Butanol production from glucose was achieved by the highly concentrated cells of the butanologenic E. coli strains, BUT1 with adhe1 and BUT2 with adhe, under anaerobic condition, and the BUT1 and BUT2 strains were shown to produce 4 and 16-mM butanol with 6- and 1-mM butyrate
as a byproduct, respectively. This study reports the novel butanol production by an aerobically pregrown microorganism possessing
the genes of a strict anaerobe, Clostridium acetobutylicum. 相似文献
