A 1000 base pair cDNA coding for the entire human proenkephalin A(proA) polypeptide was subcloned into the multifunctional pMPV 2911/ME. coli vector. The recombinant plasmid was found to express an approximately 30 kDa prohormone, which was recognized by a Met-Arg6-Phe2 antibody, directed against the C-terminal part of the enkephalin A prohormone. The expression of human proenkephalin A cDNA should thus permit the rapid purification of unfused recombinant enkephalin A prohormone, which itself may provide a model substrat to identify endoproteolytic processing activities. 相似文献

The effect of silkworm hemolymph on the expression of recombinant protein inEscherichia coli was investigated. The addition of silkworm hemolymph to the culture medium increased the production of recombinant β-galactosidase
inE. coli. The production was dependent on the concentration of the added silkworm hemolymph, which increased 2-, 5-, and 8-fold in
media supplemented with 1,3, and 5% silkworm hemolymph, respectively. To identify the effective component, the silkworm hemolymph
was fractionated by gel filtration column chromatography. A fraction, with a molecular weight of about 30 K was identified
as the effective component. 相似文献

Although many pharmaceutically useful proteins are produced inE. coli expression system, it is very rare for the system to be used in the production of diagnostic antigen due to a major problem,i.e., false-positive reaction ofE. coli host-derived proteins contaminating purified diagnostic antigen with human sera. The N (nucleocapsid) protein of Seoul virus
causing haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) was produced inE. coli BL21 (DE3), and used for the detection of N protein-specific antibodies in human sera. Using the N protein as a diagnostic
antigen of HFRS, the false-positive reaction was cleared by merely mixing the test sera with the extract ofE. coli host strain not harboring expression plasmid. 相似文献

Human alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH, tiff isozyme of class I) was expressed in Escherichia coli, purified to homogeneity, and characterized regarding N-terminal processing. The expression system was obtained by ligation of a cDNA fragment corresponding to the fl-subunit of human liver alcohol dehydrogenase into the vector pKK 223-3 containing the tac promoter. The enzyme, detected by Western-blot analysis and ethanol oxidizing activity, constituted up to 3 ~o of the total amount of protein. Recombinant ADH was separated from E. coli ADH by ion-exchange chromatography and the isolated enzyme was essentially pure as judged by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and sequence analysis. The N-terminal sequence was identical to that of the authentic fl-subunit except that the N-terminus was non-acetylated, indicating a correct removal of the initiator methionine, but lack of further processing. 相似文献

A short (43-bp) A/T-rich stretch of DNA located in The intergenic region between thebaiA2 andbaiF genes fromEubacterium sp. strain VPI 12708 was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and inserted in front of the Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequences
of three inefficiently-expressedEubacterium sp. strain VPI 12708 genes cloned inEschcrichia coli plasmids. Insertion of this A/T-rich cassette increased gene expression in all cases tested. Deletion of part of the A/T-rich
region from abaiF clone in pUC19 resulted in decreased gene expression. Synthesis of specific mRNA was increased with addition of the A/T-rich
cassette to constructs containing thebaiC gene from Eubacterium sp. strain VPI 12708, but mRNA synthesis was not significantly changed in cells containing plasmid
constructs with thebaiF andbaiG genes. Enhanced translation resulting from a decrease in mRNA secondary structure in the ribosome binding site region is
discussed as a possible reason for increased gene expression with the A/T-rich cassette. 相似文献

Expression of theZymomonas mobilis pyruvate decarboxylase (pdc) and alcohol dehydrogenase (adh) genes inEscherichia coli has been known to reduce acetate accumulation by shifting carbon flow from acetate to ethanol. In this study, we investigated
the effects of physiological and environmental conditions on the metabolic flux alteration caused by the expression of thepdc andadh genes. In the batch cultures, no significant differences, regardless of medium composition, were found in growth rate and
glucose uptake rate between the host strains and the recombinant strains expressing thepdc andadh genes. In the continuous cultures performed with glucose minimal medium, however, the recombinant strains gave more biomass
than the host strains at the same specific growth rates. On the contrary, in the continuous cultures with complex medium,
the host strains yielded more biomass than the recombinant strains. Analysis of the culture supernatants revealed that the
effect of thepdc andadh expression on byproduct formation was more significant at low specific growth rates than at high specific growth rates. This
study suggests that physiological and environmental conditions should be carefully considered and precisely defined in assessing
the effects of heterologous gene expression on metabolic activities of recombinantE. coli. 相似文献

Cyclic GMP-dependent protein kinase (cGMP kinase) is involved in the relaxation of smooth muscle. The enzyme has been cloned and expressed in eukaryotic cell lines but so far not in prokaryotic cells. Three vectors were constructed for the expression of I cGMP kinase inEscherichia coli. Transformation with the pET3a/cgk vector which uses the T7 RNA polymerase/promotor system resulted in efficient accumulation of cGMP kinase. Most of the protein was in an insoluble and catalytic inactive form. Various solubilization and refolding conditions did not yield an active enzyme. A small fraction of the cGMP kinase was present in the soluble cell extract. This fraction bound cGMP with high affinity but had no cGMP stimulated kinase activity. To prevent aggregation two additional vectors were constructed. (I) A bacterial leader sequence, which directs the export of proteins into the periplasmic space, was fused to the aminoterminus of the cGMP kinase. (II) A gram/gram+ shuttle vector for expression under the control of the tac promotor was used. Both constructs directed the synthesis of an isoluble and inactive cGMP kinase. These results suggest that large amounts of cGMP kinase can be expressed inE. coli, but mainly in an isoluble and inactive form. In contrast to eukaryotic cells, bacteria may lack systems for correct protein folding and/or posttranslational modification that are crucial for the productive folding and/or activation of cGMP kinase. 相似文献

Summary A variety of feeding strategies have been described for attaining high cell densities in fed-batch fermentors. Although cell density is an important component in the produtivity of recombinant fermentations, it must be achievable with high product expression levels. Experiments were conducted to study the influence of fermentation feeding strategies on the production of a recombinant malaria antigen inEscherichia coli. C-source feeding profiles were calculated to maintain specific growth rates at 0.1, 0.2, 0.35, and 0.5 l/h prior to induction in defined and complex media using an exponential growth model. Fed-batch fermentations employing these feeding profiles effectively controlled the specific growth rates prior to induction. Antigen yields per dry cell weight did not vary with specific growth rate. Antigen yields from fed-batch fermentations achieving high cell densities were similar to batch fermentations achieving low cell densities. These results show that C-feeding policies can limit growth without reducing expression levels in some systems, and suggest applications in managing oxygen demand and catabolic by-product formation during process scale-up. 相似文献

The production of recombinant beta-galactosidase inEscherichia coli in yeast extract enriched medium
Xiaoli Li J. W. Robbins Jr. K. B. Taylor 《Journal of industrial microbiology & biotechnology》1990,5(2-3):85-93
Summary The productivity ofEscherichia coli biomass and recombinant beta-galactosidase was increased in Luria broth (LB) enriched with yeast extract. In flask culture under conditions of LB limitation, yeast extract suplementation gave the highest biomass (strain HB101/pRW756) stimulation per unit of component added compared with supplementation by various amounts of amino acids, vitamins, minerals, purines/pyrimidines, tryptone, casamino acids, casein peptone or gelatin peptone. The biomass production ofE. coli HB101/pRW756, XL-1 blue/puc118, XL-1 Blue FF/puc118 and TB-1/p1034 cells was stimulated in fermentor-scale experiments with additional yeast extract in LB. Total beta-galactosidase production from plasmid genes in fermentor-scale experiments was increased 105.4% in XL-1 blue/puc118 cells, 365.5% in XL-1 blue FF/puc118 cells and 421.4% in TB-1/p1034 cells by 0.5%, 1% and 1% weight per volume of additional yeast extract in LB, respectively. Depending on different strains, the increase of the enzyme production was obtained either by increased biomass, or the combination of enhanced gene expression and increased biomass. Neither the biomass nor beta-galactosidase production was stimulated in N4830/p1034 cells by the increase in yeast extract concentration in the medium. 相似文献

Summary Comparison of growth rates of isogenic strains that synthesize varying levels of-galactosidase during continuous culture on non-inducing medium indicates that synthesis of low levels of non-functional protein has a small but possibly significant effect upon growth rate. 相似文献

Different approaches to increasing carbon commitment to aromatic amino acid biosynthesis were compared in isogenic strains ofEscherichia coli. In a strain having a wild-type PEP: glucose phosphotransferase (PTS) system, inactivation of the genes encoding pyruvate kinase (pykA andpykF) resulted in a 3.4-fold increase in carbon flow to aromatic biosynthesis. In a strain already having increased carbon flow to aromatics by virtue of overexpression of thetktA gene (encoding transketolase), thepykA and/orpykF mutations had no effect. A PTS glucose+ mutant showed a 1.6-fold increase in carbon flow to aromatics compared to the PTS+ control strain. In the PTS– glucose+ host background, overexpression oftktA caused a further 3.7-fold increase in carbon flow, while inactivation ofpykA andpykF caused a 5.8-fold increase. When all of the variables tested (PTS– glucose+,pykA, pykF, and overexpressedtktA) were combined in a single strain, a 19.9-fold increase in carbon commitment to aromatic biosynthesis was achieved. 相似文献

Stationary-phase mutagenesis in nondividingE. coli cells exposed to a nonlethal stress was, a few years ago, claimed to be a likely case of a Lamarckian mechanism capable of
producing exclusively useful mutations in a directed manner. After a heated debate over the last decade it now appears to
involve a Darwinian mechanism that generates a transient state of hypermutagenesis, operating on a large number of sites spread
over the entire genome, at least in a proportion of the resting cells. Most of the studies that clarified this position were
on the reversion of a frameshift mutation present in alacI-lacZ fusion inE. coli strain FC40. Several groups have extensively examined both the sequence changes associated with these reversions and the
underlying genetic requirements. On the basis of our studies on the genomic sequence analysis, we recently proposed a model
to explain the specific changes associated with the reversion hotspots. Here we propose a more detailed version of this model
that also takes into account the observed genetic requirements of stationary-state mutagenesis. Briefly, G:T/U mismatches
produced at methylatable cytosines are preferentially repaired in nondividing cells by the very short patch mismatch repair
(VSPMR) mechanism which is itself mutagenic and can produce mutations in very short stretches located in the immediate vicinity
of these cytosine methylation sites. This mechanism requires a homologous or homeologous strand invasion step and an error-prone
DNA synthesis step and is dependent on RecA, RecBCD and a DNA polymerase. The process is initiated near sequences recognized
by Dcm and Vsr enzymes and further stimulated if these sequences are a part of CHI or CHI-like sequences, but a double-strand-break-dependent
recombination mediated by the RecBCD pathways proposed by others seems to be nonessential. The strand transfer step is proposed
to depend on RecA, RuvA, RuvB and RuvC and is opposed by RecG and MutS. The model also gives interesting insights into the
evolution of theE. coli genome. 相似文献

The feed profile of glucose during fedbatch cultivation could be used to influence the retention of the periplasmic product ZZ-cutinase. An increased feed rate led to a higher production rate but also to an increased specific leakage, which reduced the periplasmic retention. Three growth rates: 0.3, 0.2 and 0.1 h(-1) where studied and resulted in 20, 9 and 6%, respectively, of the total ZZ-cutinase accumulating in the medium. It was also shown that leakage during fedbatch production of a Fab fragment was also influenced by the feed rate in a similar manner to ZZ-cutinase. If intracellular product accumulation is desired the advantage of a high productivity, resulting from a high substrate feed rate, is diminished because of a reduced product retention. Biochemical analysis revealed that the growth rate, resulting from a glucose limited feed, influenced the outer membrane protein compositions with respect to OmpF and LamB, whilst OmpA was largely unaffected. As the feed rate increased the amount of total outer membrane protein decreased. When ZZ-cutinase was produced there were further reductions in outer membrane protein accumulation, by 82, 100 and 22% for OmpF, LamB and OmpA, respectively, and the total reduction was almost 60% with a high product formation rate. We suggest that the reduced titre of the outer membrane proteins, OmpF and LamB, may have contributed to a reduced ability for the cell to retain recombinant protein secreted to the periplasm. 相似文献

High-level expression of bovine rotavirus VP4 protein in Escherichia coli using a hepatitis B core antigen vector 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Six regions of the VP4 protein of bovine rotavirus strain UKtc were expressed using hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg) as a carrier. Following induction by IPTG, the six fusion proteins, AHBcAg through FHBcAg, were expressed in Escherichia coli to a level of 20–37% of total cellular protein. Soluble fusion proteins in a particulate form were partially purified with yields ranging from 0.5–6.4 mg l–1 of culture. 相似文献

Analysis of the K1 capsule biosynthesis genes of Escherichia coli: definition of three functional regions for capsule production 总被引:22,自引:0,他引:22

Summary Transposon and deletion analysis of the cloned K1 capsule biosynthesis genes of Escherichia coli revealed that approximately 17 kb of DNA, split into three functional regions, is required for capsule production. One block (region 1) is required for translocation of polysaccharide to the cell surface and mutations in this region result in the intracellular appearance of polymer indistinguishable on immunoelectrophoresis to that found on the surface of K1 encapsulated bacteria. This material was released from the cell by osmotic shock indicating that the polysaccharide was probably present in the periplasmic space. Insertions in a second block (region 2) completely abolished polymer production and this second region is believed to encode the enzymes for the biosynthesis and polymerisation of the K1 antigen. Addition of exogenous N-acetylneuraminic acid to one insertion mutant in this region restored its ability to express surface polymer as judged by K1 phage sensitivity. This insertion probably defines genes involved in biosynthesis of N-acetylneuraminic acid. Insertions in a third block (region 3) result in the intracellular appearance of polysaccharide with a very low electrophoretic mobility. The presence of the cloned K1 capsule biosynthesis genes on a multicopy plasmid in an E. coli K-12 strain did not increase the yields of capsular polysaccharide produced compared to the K1+ isolate from which the genes were cloned. 相似文献

A plasmid borne larvicidal crystal protein gene from B.thuringiensis subspecieskurstaki was cloned inEscherichia coli using a specific 20-mer oligonucleotide probe. The gene expressed inE. coli at a high level. TransgenicE. coli cells produced large irregular bodies which looked bright under phase contrast microscopy. The phase bright bodies released
by sonic disruption of cells could be pelleted by centrifugation. Toxicity trials on the larvae ofSpodoptera litura showed that the pellet was antifeedant and toxic to the larvae. The supernatant was only mildly antifeedant. Even short term
feeding of larvae on the toxin delayed the onset of pupation. 相似文献

Introduction and expression of foreign genes in bacteria often results accumulation of the foreign protein(s) in inclusion bodies (IBs). The subsequent processes of refolding are slow, difficult and often fail to yield significant amounts of folded protein. RHG1 encoded by rhg1 was a soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) transmembrane receptor-like kinase (EC 2.7.11.1) with an extracellular leucine-rich repeat domain. The LRR of RHG1 was believed to be involved in elicitor recognition and interaction with other plant proteins. The aim, here, was to express the LRR domain in Escherichia coli (RHG1-LRR) and produce refolded protein. Urea titration experiments showed that the IBs formed in E. coli by the extracellular domain of the RHG1 protein could be solubilized at different urea concentrations. The RHG1 proteins were eluted with 1.0-7.0M urea in 0.5M increments. Purified RHG1 protein obtained from the 1.5 and 7.0M elutions was analyzed for secondary structure through circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Considerable secondary structure could be seen in the former, whereas the latter yielded CD curves characteristic of denatured proteins. Both elutions were subjected to refolding by slowly removing urea in the presence of arginine and reduced/oxidized glutathione. Detectable amounts of refolded protein could not be recovered from the 7.0M urea sample, whereas refolding from the 1.5M urea sample yielded 0.2mg/ml protein. The 7.0M treatment resulted in the formation of a homogenous denatured state with no apparent secondary structure. Refolding from this fully denatured state may confer kinetic and/or thermodynamic constraints on the refolding process, whereas the kinetic and/or thermodynamic barriers to attain the folded conformation appeared to be lesser, when refolding from a partially folded state. 相似文献

We have determined the nucleotide sequences of sevenlacY alleles isolated from natural isolates ofEscherichia coli. Nucleotide heterozygosity estimates for this locus were compared to those obtained from previous studies of intraspecific variation at chromosomal loci, revealing thatlacY has unusually low synonymous site variation. The average pairwise heterozygosity of synonymous sites (Ks=0.0112+/-0.0100) is the second lowest reported and the lowest for loci that have an equivalent level of nonsynonymous variation. We consider several hypotheses to explain how different forces in evolution could act to create the observed pattern of polymorphism, including selection for translational efficiency and positive selection. Our analysis most strongly supports the hypothesis that positive selection has acted on thelacY locus inE. coli. 相似文献

Deleted forms of ricin B chain (RTB) containing only one of the two galactose binding sites were produced inE. coli and targeted to the periplasm by fusion to theompA orompF signal sequences. The proteins were then isolated from the periplasm and their sugar binding properties assessed. Previous studies investigating the properties of such proteins produced inXenopus laevis oocytes suggested that deleted forms of RTB, when not glycosylated, retain their ability to bind simple sugars, unlike the full-length unglycosylated proteins. When produced inE. coli however we found that only one, EB733, of a number of deleted forms of RTB closely related to those previously produced inXenopus laevis oocytes, bound to simple sugars. All of the deletion forms of RTB were found to bind in the asialofetuin binding assay; an assay which has been previously utilized to measure binding of lectins to the terminal galactose residues of glycoprotein oligosaccharides. However, in contrast to glycosylated RTB, binding of the deletion mutants could be competed to only a small degree or not at all with galactose. The only deletion mutant observed to bind to free galactose when produced inE. coli corresponded closely to the complete domain 2 of RTB. It is assumed that this mutant forms a stable structure similar to that of the C-terminal domain in the full-length protein. The structural integrity of EB733 was not only suggested by its sugar binding properties and solubility but also by its consistently higher level of expression and the absence of any apparent susceptibility toE. coli proteases.Abbreviations RTA
