Saccharomyces cerevisiae harboring linear dsDNA plasmids, pGKL1 and pGKL2, secretes a killer toxin consisting of 97, 31 and 28 kilodalton subunits (Nucleic Acids Res., 15, 1031-1046, 1987). We isolated the DNA encoding the N-terminal pre-sequence of the 28K precursor protein and constructed a new secretion vector in S. cerevisiae. Mouse alpha-amylase fused to the 28K signal sequence was secreted into the culture medium with a high efficiency similar to those fused to the mating factor alpha and 97K-31K killer signal sequences. This data clearly indicates that 28K presequence functions as a secretion signal. Glycosylated and nonglycosylated alpha-amylase molecules were detected in the culture medium. The secretion of alpha-amylase was blocked by sec18-1 mutation. The secreted alpha-amylase recovered from the medium was found to migrate faster in SDS-polyacrylamide gel than the precursor form of alpha-amylase synthesized in vitro. These lines of evidence suggest that mouse alpha-amylase fused to 28K killer signal sequence was processed, glycosylated and secreted through the normal secretion pathway of the yeast. 相似文献

A fusion of DNA sequences encoding the SPO2 promoter, the alpha-amylase signal sequence from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, and the mature part of the alpha-galactosidase from Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (guar) was constructed on a Bacillus subtilis multicopy vector. Bacillus cells of the protease-deficient strain DB104 harboring this vector produced and secreted the plant enzyme alpha-galactosidase up to levels of 1,700 U/liter. A growth medium suppressing the residual proteolytic activity of strain DB104 was used to reach these levels in a fermentor. Purification of the secreted product followed by NH2-terminal amino acid sequencing showed that the alpha-amylase signal sequence had been processed correctly. The molecular mass of the product estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was slightly lower than that of the plant purified enzyme, which is most likely due to glycosylation of the latter. The alpha-galactosidase product was active both on the artificial substrate para-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside and on the galactomannan substrate, guar gum. The activity of this Bacillus sp.-produced enzyme was similar to that of the glycosylated enzyme purified from guar seeds, indicating that glycosylation has no essential function for enzyme activity. 相似文献

SAMY, a novel mammalian reporter gene derived from Bacillus stearothermophilus alpha-amylase 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The Bacillus stearothermophilus alpha-amylase (amyS) is a heat-stable monomeric exoenzyme which catalyses random hydrolysis of 1,4-alpha-glucosidic linkages in polyglucosans. The Bacillus alpha-amylase was engineered for use as an intracellular (AmyS(Delta S)) as well as a secreted reporter protein (SAMY; secreted alpha-amylase) in mammalian cells. The 5' end of amyS containing the prokaryotic secretion signal was either deleted (amyS(Delta S)) or replaced by a murine immunoglobulin secretion signal. SAMY was cloned under control of the cytomegalovirus promoter (P(CMV)) in a mammalian expression vector or the promoter of the human elongation factor 1 alpha (P(EF1 alpha)) in a lentiviral expression context. A variety of mammalian and human cell lines growing as monolayers, in suspension or as three-dimensional spheroids were transfected/transduced with SAMY- or amyS(Delta S)-encoding expression/lentiviral vectors and alpha-amylase activity was measured in cell lysates and culture supernatants. These experiments showed that SAMY and AmyS(Delta S) were either secreted or remained intracellular as highly sensitive reporter enzymes. SAMY expression and detection was fully compatible with established SEAP (human secreted alkaline phosphatase) and u-PA(LMW) (low molecular weight urokinase-type plasminogen activator) reporter systems and could be used to quantify expression of up to three independent genes in one culture supernatant. 相似文献

Recombinant plasmids were constructed in which the human salivary alpha-amylase gene, with or without the N-terminal signal sequence for secretion, was placed under control of the APase (PHO5) promoter of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In yeast cells transformed with the alpha-amylase gene having the human signal sequence for secretion, the gene was expressed and the enzyme was secreted into the medium in three different glycosylated forms. The amylase gene without the signal sequence was also expressed in yeast, but the products were neither secreted nor glycosylated. Determination of the N-terminal amino acid (aa) sequence revealed that the 15-aa signal sequence had been cleaved from the secreted enzyme, and that the N-terminal residue, glutamine, had been modified into pyroglutamate, as is commonly observed with the mammalian salivary alpha-amylase. Thus, the human salivary alpha-amylase signal sequence for secretion was correctly recognized and processed by the yeast secretory pathway. The C-terminal residue was identified as leucine, which is predicted from the nucleotide sequence data to be located at position 511 in front of the termination codon. Therefore, there is no post-translational processing in formation of the C terminus. 相似文献

The gene coding for the heat-stable and pH-stable alpha-amylase of Bacillus licheniformis 584 (ATCC 27811) was cloned in Escherichia coli and the nucleotide sequence of a DNA fragment of 1,948 base pairs containing the entire amylase gene was determined. As inferred from the DNA sequence, the B. licheniformis alpha-amylase had a signal peptide of 29 amino acid residues and the mature enzyme comprised 483 amino acid residues, giving a molecular weight of 55,200. The amino acid sequence of B. licheniformis alpha-amylase showed 65.4% and 80.3% homology with those of heat-stable Bacillus stearothermophilus alpha-amylase and relatively heat-unstable Bacillus amyloliquefaciens alpha-amylase, respectively. Nevertheless, several regions of the alpha-amylases appeared to be clearly distinct from one another when their hydropathy profiles were compared. 相似文献

Replacement of the regulatory and secretory signals of the alpha-amylase gene (AMY) from Bacillus amylolique-faciens with the complete yeast pheromone alpha-factor prepro region (MF alpha 1p) resulted in increased levels of extracellular alpha-amylase production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, the removal of the (Glu-Ala)2 peptide from the MF alpha 1 spacer region (Lys-Arg-Glu-Ala-Glu-Ala) yielded decreased levels of extracellular alpha-amylase. 相似文献

The Bacillus subtilis alpha-amylase structural gene (amyE) lacking its own signal peptide coding sequence was joined to the end of the Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase (phoA) signal peptide coding sequence by using the technique of oligonucleotide-directed site-specific deletion. On induction of the phoA promoter, the B. subtilis alpha-amylase was expressed and almost all the activity was found in the periplasmic space of E. coli. The sequence of the five amino-terminal amino acids of the secreted polypeptide was Glu-Thr-Ala-Asn-Lys-, and thus the fused protein was correctly processed by the E. coli signal peptidase at the end of the phoA signal peptide. 相似文献

To study the effect of inserted peptides on the secretion and processing of exported proteins in Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli, pBR322-derived DNA fragments coding for small peptides were inserted between the DNA coding for the 31 amino acid B. subtilis alpha-amylase signal peptide and that coding for the mature part of the extracellular thermostable alpha-amylase of B. stearothermophilus. Most of the inserted peptides (21 to 65 amino acids) decreased the production of the enzyme in B. subtilis and E. coli, the effect of each peptide being similar in the two strains. In contrast, with one peptide (a 21 amino acid sequence encoded by the extra DNA in pTUBE638), the production of alpha-amylase was enhanced more than 1.7-fold in B. subtilis in comparison with that of the parent strain. The molecular masses of the thermostable alpha-amylases in the periplasm of the E. coli transformants varied for each peptide insert, whereas those in the culture supernatants of the B. subtilis transformants had molecular masses similar to that of the mature enzyme. Based on the NH2-terminal amino acid sequence of the hybrid protein from pTUBE638, it was shown that in E. coli, the NH2-terminally extended thermostable alpha-amylase was translocated and remained in the periplasm after the 31 amino acid signal sequence was removed. In the case of B. subtilis, after the removal of a 34-amino acid signal sequence, the hybrid protein was secreted and processed to the mature form. 相似文献

Previously we reported [Deane, S. M., Maharaj, R., Robb, F. T. & Woods, D. R. (1987) Journal of General Microbiology 133, 2295-2302] that the production of a Vibrio alginolyticus SDS-resistant alkaline serine protease (Pro A) cloned in Escherichia coli was characterized by a 12 h delay between the synthesis of an inactive precursor and secretion of active Pro A. Replacement of the V. alginolyticus promoter region by the alpha-amylase promoter region from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens resulted in the simultaneous synthesis and secretion of Pro A in E. coli. The V. alginolyticus pro A gene cloned on a shuttle vector did not produce active Pro A in Bacillus subtilis. Although Pro A has a typical Gram-positive signal sequence, it was not functional in B. subtilis. Replacement of the Pro A signal sequence with the alpha-amylase signal sequence resulted in the production of active Pro A in B. subtilis. 相似文献

Alpha-amylase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, synthesized in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae without substitution of the signal sequence, is efficiently secreted from yeast cells: 60-70% of the overall amount of the enzyme is found in the culture fluid. In contrast to many yeast secretory proteins, which accumulate in the periplasmic space and in the cell wall, intracellular alpha-amylase is localized mainly in the cytoplasm. Obviously, transfer across the cell wall is not a rate-limiting step in alpha-amylase export from the cell. The glycosylated forms of proteins are predominantly found both inside the cell and in the culture medium. 相似文献

The pathogenicity of Aeromonas strains relative to genospecies and phenospecies identification 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
A high yield of Escherichia coli outer membrane proteins OmpA (about 200 mg/l) and OmpF (about 100 mg/l) was obtained in Bacillus subtilis when produced intracellularly. The yield was more than 100-fold higher than the yield of these proteins by a similar vector containing the complete signal sequence of alpha-amylase of B. amyloliquefaciens. Both proteins isolated after breakage of the B. subtilis cells by low-speed centrifugation were about 70% pure and could be solubilized by Sarkosyl, SDS and guanidine hydrochloride. 相似文献

The DNA sequence of the 5' region of the Bacillus licheniformis alpha-amylase gene is reported. Comparison of the inferred amino acid sequence of the B. licheniformis alpha-amylase gene with that of the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens gene shows that whereas the amino acid sequences of the mature proteins have considerable homology, the sequences for the signal peptides are distinct. 相似文献

We have inserted a C-terminally truncated gene of the major outer membrane protein OmpA of Escherichia coli downstream from the promoter and signal sequence of the secretory alpha-amylase of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens in a secretion vector of Bacillus subtilis. B. subtilis transformed with the hybrid plasmid synthesized a protein that was immunologically identified as OmpA. All the protein was present in the particulate fraction. The size of the protein compared to the peptide synthesized in vitro from the same template indicated that the alpha-amylase derived signal peptide was not removed; this was verified by N-terminal amino acid sequence determination. The lack of cleavage suggests that there was little or no translocation of OmpA protein across the cytoplasmic membrane. This is an unexpected difference compared with periplasmic proteins, which were both secreted and processed when fused to the same signal peptide. A requirement of a specific component for the export of outer membrane proteins is suggested. 相似文献

Mammalian reporter proteins are essential for gene-function analysis, drugscreening initiatives and as model product proteins for biopharmaceutical manufacturing. Bacillus subtilis can maintain its metabolism by secreting Xylanase A (XynA), which converts xylan into shorter xylose oligosaccharides. XynA is a family 11 xylanase monospecific for D-xylose containing substrates. Mammalian cells transgenic for constitutive expression of wild-type xynA showed substantial secretion of this prokaryotic enzyme. Deletion analysis confirmed that a prokaryotic signal sequence encoded within the first 81 nucleotides was compatible with the secretory pathway of mammalian cells. Codon optimization combined with elimination of the prokaryotic signal sequence resulted in an exclusively intracellular mammalian Xylanase A variant (InXy) while replacement by an immunoglobulin-derived secretion signal created an optimal secreted Xylanase A derivative (SeXy). A variety of chromogenic and fluorescence-based assays adapted for use with mammalian cells detected InXy and SeXy with high sensitivity and showed that both reporter proteins resisted repeated freeze/thaw cycles, remained active over wide temperature and pH ranges, were extremely stable in human serum stored at room temperature and could independently be quantified in samples also containing other prominent reporter proteins such as the human placental alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) and the Bacillus stearothermophilus-derived secreted alpha-amylase (SAMY). Glycoprofiling revealed that SeXy produced in mammalian cells was N- glycosylated at four different sites, mutation of which resulted in impaired secretion. SeXy was successfully expressed in a variety of mammalian cell lines and primary cells following transient transfection and transduction with adeno-associated virus particles (AAV) engineered for constitutive SeXy expression. Intramuscular injection of transgenic AAVs into mice showed significant SeXy levels in the bloodstream. InXy and SeXy are highly sensitive, compact and robust reporter proteins, fully compatible with pre-existing marker genes and can be assayed in high-throughput formats using very small sample volumes. 相似文献

A novel yeast secretion vector utilizing secretion signal of killer toxin encoded on the yeast linear DNA plasmid pGKL1 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

The NH2-terminal signal region comprising of approximately 70% length of the prepro-sequence of the pGKL killer precursor protein was found to direct an efficient secretion of the mouse alpha-amylase into the culture medium of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The alpha-amylase molecule secreted into the culture medium was identified by both immuno-blotting and assay of the enzyme activity. The amount of alpha-amylase secreted via the killer toxin signal was comparable to that directed by the leader sequence of mating factor alpha. The secretion of alpha-amylase using the killer toxin signal was blocked at 37C but not at 25C in sec18-1 host, indicating that alpha-amylase is exported through the normal secretion pathway of S. cerevisiae. 相似文献

The complete nucleotide sequence of the extracellular glucoamylase gene STA1 from the yeast Saccharomyces diastaticus has been determined. A single open reading frame codes for a 778-amino-acid protein which contains 13 potential N-glycosylation sites. In the 5'- and 3'-flanking regions of the gene, there are striking sequence homologies to the corresponding regions of ADH1 for alcohol dehydrogenase and MAT alpha 2 for mating type control in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The putative precursor begins with a hydrophobic segment that presumably acts as a signal sequence for secretion. The presumptive signal sequence showed a significant homology to that of Bacillus subtilis alpha-amylase precursor. The next segment, of ca. 320 amino acids, contains a threonine-rich tract in which direct repeat sequences of 35 amino acids exist, and is bordered by a pair of basic amino acid residues (Lys-Lys) which may be a proteolytic processing signal. The carboxy-terminal half of the precursor is a presumptive glucoamylase which contains several peptide segments showing a high degree of homology with alpha-amylases from widely diverse organisms including a procaryote (B. subtilis) and eucaryotes (Aspergillus oryzae and mouse). Analysis of both the nucleotide sequence of the STA1 gene and the amino acid composition of the purified glucoamylase suggested that the putative precursor is processed to yield subunits H and Y of mature enzyme by both trypsin-like and chymotrypsin-like cleavages. 相似文献

Subtilisin DFE is a fibrinolytic enzyme produced by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens DC-4. The promoter and signal peptide-coding sequence of alpha-amylase gene from B. amyloliquefaciens was cloned and fused to the sequence coding for pro-peptide and mature peptide of subtilisin DFE. This hybrid gene was inserted into the Escherichia coli/Bacillus subtilis shuttle plasmid vector, pSUGV4. Recombinant subtilisin DFE gene was successfully expressed in B. subtilis WB600 with a fibrinolytic activity of 200 urokinase units ml(-1). 相似文献
