Disrupting Escherichia coli: a comparison of methods

The often-encountered problem of disrupting bacteria for the purpose of extracting soluble protein has generated various methods. Many require specialized equipment. Very often, especially during preliminary studies, investigators need a simple, fast, and inexpensive method for cell disruption that preserves biological activity. This paper compares some simple and inexpensive methods for cell disruption, such as bead-vortexing, freezing-thawing, French pressing, and sonication. It also provides some tips to increase protein yield and preserve biological activity. If performed under optimal conditions, bead-vortexing gives protein yields that are comparable to French pressing and sonication. It also preserves the activities of labile enzymes and releases periplasmic enzymes. Vortexing with glass beads appears to be the simplest method for cell disruption.     

Immobilization of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Alcaligenes faecalis</Emphasis> penicillin G acylase on epoxy-type supports

Alcaligenes faecalis penicillin G acylase has several desired features over other penicillin G acylases and its use in industry requires immobilization. In this work, two novel supports ZH-EP (epoxy type) and ZH-HA (epoxy-amino type) were used to immobilize Alcaligenes faecalis penicillin G acylase (AfPGA) with Eupergit C as reference. The saturation of immobilized protein on ZH-EP (269 mg/g, 116 h) and ZH-HA (296 mg/g, 15 h) was obtained more rapidly than Eupergit C (197 mg/g, 260 h). And the activity of immobilized AfPGA on ZH-EP (520 U/g) and ZH-HA (2200 U/g) was higher than that on Eupergit C (310 U/g). The properties of three immobilized enzymes were compared and no obvious difference was observed, which indicated that ZH-EP and ZH-HA were promised in industry.

Calcium release from rod outer segments: evidence for a cGMP-sensitive calcium binding protein.

Numerous studies investigating the cGMP-gated cation conductance in rod disk membranes have purported to measure efflux of Ca2+ entrapped in rod disk membrane vesicles. We have utilized sonication and osmotic shock as additional tests for sensitivity of cGMP- and A23187-induced Ca2+ release to elimination of the transvesicular Ca2+ gradient. We find that 1) Treatment with sonication or osmotic shock in low Ca2+ medium does not release Ca2+ from either native cGMP/Ca2(+)-loaded vesicles or solubilized, reconstituted "Ca2(+)-loaded" vesicles, 2) 70-100% of the cGMP-induced "flux" and 90-100% of the A23187-induced Ca2+ "flux" is insensitive to elimination of the Ca2+ gradient by sonication or osmotic shock in low Ca2+ medium, and 3) total amount of releasable Ca2+ is related to membrane surface area rather than vesicle entrapment volume. We conclude that 1) A23187 disrupts binding of Ca2+ to proteins and phospholipids as well as releasing entrapped Ca2+ and 2) a large fraction of the cGMP-induced release observed in rod disk vesicles is due to release of bound Ca2+.     

Evidence for two different nitrate-reducing activities at the plasma membrane in roots ofZea mays L.

Plasma-membrane (PM) vesicles isolated from 6-d-old corn roots by sucrose gradient centrifugation or two-phase partitioning showed an NADH-dependent nitrate reductase (NR) activity averaging at 40 nmol per milligram PM protein per hour. This membrane-associated NR activity could not be removed from two-phase-partitioned PM vesicles by salt washing, osmotic shock treatment, sonication, or freeze-thawing to reverse vesicle sidedness. Therefore, it could not be attributed to contamination of membrane vesicles by the soluble, cytosolic NR. Plasma-membrane vesicles reduced NO ₃ ^- in the presence of the electron donors NADH or NADPH at an activity ratio of 2.2. The NADH- and NADPH-dependent NR activities of outside-out oriented PM vesicles differed in their sensitivity toward the detergent Brij 58, leading to a latency of 65% or 29% using NADH or NADPH as electron donor, respectively. The activities of NO ₃ ^- reduction in the presence of saturating concentrations of NADH and NADPH were additive. Furthermore, both activities were characterized by a different pH dependence with a pH optimum of 7.5 for the NADH-dependent activity and of 6.8 for the NADPH-dependent activity. The membrane-associated NAD(P)H-dependent NR activities responded to different nitrogen nutrition of plants in a manner different from the soluble forms of the enzyme. The data confirm the existence of a corn PM NR and suggest that there may be two different NO ₃ ^- -reducing enzymes located at the PM of corn roots.Abbreviations PM Plasma membrane - NR nitrate reductase This research was supported by grants from the National Research Council of Italy (bilateral project between Italy and Germany to Z.V. and U.L.), by the Ministero dell' Università e Ricera Scientifice e Tecnologica (MURST 40%) and by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.     

Response of seedlings of radish (Raphanus sativus) to osmotic shock and external hydrostatic pressure

The effects of an osmotic shock (300 m M mannitol, –0. 67 MPa) or/and increased external hydrostatic pressure on seedlings (42-h-germinated seeds) of radish ( Raphanus sativus L. cv. Tondo Rosso Quarantino) were investigated. The osmotic shock did not inhibit H⁺ extrusion and net K^- uptake, and did not affect the levels of malic acid, reducing sugars, sucrose or amino acids or of the energy charge (i. e. the synthesis of energy-rich phosphate bonds), but inhibited the synthesis of proteins. RNA and DNA, measured as incorporation of labelled precursors. When the osmotic shock was applied together with an increased external hydrostatic pressure of the same magnitude (+0. 67 MPa), the same metabolic parameters and the inhibition of synthesis of RNA and DNA were not substantially affected, while the inhibition of protein synthesis was practically reversed and the energy charge decreased; the recovery of protein synthesis was not due to a change in labelled leucine uptake capability. Increased external hydrostatic pressure alone decreased the energy charge without affecting the other parameters considered.
The possibility that protein synthesis activity is directly controlled by cell turgor pressure (internal hydrostatic pressure) is discussed.     

Intracellular localization of Neurospora crassa endo-exonuclease and its putative precursor.

Endo-exonuclease of rapidly growing mycelia of Neurospora crassa was found to be distributed in a ratio of about 1.6:1 in vacuoles and in mitochondria where it is associated with the inner membrane. Although the activity in vacuoles was readily released by osmotic shock, very little of that in mitochondria was released by this method. The mitochondrial activity was partially (60 to 70%) released by sonication, and the remaining activity was solubilized in the presence of Triton X-100. An inactive form of endo-exonuclease, activated in vitro by treatment with trypsin, is present in mycelia at a level over four times that of active enzyme. It was found to be distributed in a ratio of about 2.5:1 in the cytosol and in the inner membrane of mitochondria. The mitochondrial protein was more tightly bound than the active enzyme. Very little of the inactive enzyme was released by sonication, but it was solubilized in the presence of Triton X-100. The intracellular distribution of active and inactive forms of endo-exonuclease differs in a mutagen-sensitive mutant of Neurospora crassa (uvs-3) which shows many pleiotropic effects. The most striking difference in distribution is in the mitochondria where endo-exonuclease is present almost entirely in the inactive form at a level 30% higher than in wild-type mitochondria.     

Secretory production of recombinant protein by a high cell density culture of a protease negative mutant Escherichia coli strain

Several protease negative mutant strains including HM114, HM126, and HM130 as well as their parent strain KS272 were compared for their growth and secretory production of a model fusion protein, protein A-beta-lactamase. HM114, a strain deficient in two cell envelope proteases, grew slightly faster and produced more fusion protein than the other strains deficient in more proteases. HM114 was grown to a cell dry weight of 47.86 g/L in 29 h using pH-stat, fed-batch cultivation. The beta-lactamase activity was 11.25 x 10(4) U/L, which was 30% higher than that obtained with its parent strain KS272. Up to 96% of protein A-beta-lactamase fusion protein could be recovered by a simple cold osmotic shock method. The specific beta-lactamase activity obtained with HM114 after fractionation was 4.5 times higher than that obtained with KS272.     

Nitrosating activity in Escherichia coli

Nitrosation activity was measured in Escherichia coli isolates and a range of nitrite reductase (nir) mutants. Activity was only detected in intact cells and could be inhibited by a number of treatments such as sonication and osmotic shock. Aerobically-grown cells had highest nitrosation activity compared to oxygen-limited ones. Inclusion of nitrite in growth media induced high activities of nitrite reductase and for some isolates, nitrosation. Analysis of nir mutants identified two which were unable to nitrosate. This result suggested that NADH-dependent nitrite reductase was implicated either directly or indirectly in nitrosation.
