The gene encoding extracellular phospholipase A1 of Serratia sp. MK1 was cloned from a genomic DNA library. Formation of transparent halos on the PCY agar plates was used to identify E. coli carrying the phospholipase A1 gene. A 4.2 kb EcoRI fragment was isolated and sequenced. From nucleotide sequences and expression of various plasmids, two open reading frames (plaA and plaS) involved in efficient expression of phospholipase A1 in natural and recombinant host were identified. Extracellular phospholipase A1 activity was identified as the gene product of plaA encoding 321 amino acids with a predicted MW of 33,400. Analysis of the amino acid sequence revealed significant homology (around 70%) to phospholipase A1 of Serratia liquefaciens and Yersinia enterocolitica. The sequence, -Gly-X1-Ser-X2-Gly-, known as a lipase-specific consensus sequence was also found in the bacterial phospholipase A1. PlaS encoding a protein of 224 amino acids showed no enzymatic activity, but might be necessary for the efficient expression of phospholipase A1 in E. coli. To further improve the production of phospholipase A1 as a soluble and active form in E. coli, the effect of some parameters was examined. Surprisingly, a higher yield of soluble and active phospholipase A1 could be obtained under the combined conditions of a lower temperature, an enriched medium, and a lower-strength promoter. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequence of the pldA gene, coding for the outer membrane (OM) phospholipase A of Escherichia coli K-12, and flanking sequences, was determined. Data were obtained from sequences of overlapping deletions which had been generated in vitro from both ends of the gene, using DNase I in the presence of Mn2+ and Bal31 nuclease. The deduced amino acid sequence of the pldA gene product is the first primary sequence of a membrane-bound phospholipase. The complete PldA protein contains 260 amino acids, which include a putative signal sequence, and has a calculated mol. wt. of 29 946 similar to that of the purified protein. Furthermore we found the N terminus of the purified protein to be blocked and the overall amino acid composition to be consistent with the one deduced from the complete pldA gene. Analysis of proteins synthesized in minicells with a pldA coding plasmid in the presence of 8% ethanol did not reveal any new bands on polyacrylamide gels, whereas the control beta-lactamase clearly showed its unprocessed form under the same conditions. These data are consistent with the empirical prediction from the primary sequence, that the PldA protein lacks any signal peptidase 'target' site. We therefore conclude that the PldA protein is exported to the OM without proteolytic removal of the signal peptide. 相似文献

A novel cyclosporin A binding glycoprotein of 21 kDa was isolated from human milk by several steps of cation exchange chromatography. The corresponding gene was cloned from human T cells, expressed in Escherichia coli and the recombinant protein purified. The protein shares 58% amino acid identity with the cytosolic cyclophilin and is initially synthesized with a hydrophobic leader sequence. The cyclophilin-like protein has also peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans-isomerase activity, although less efficient, that is inhibited by cyclosporin A. The existence of a secreted form of cyclophilin-like protein in addition to the previously known cytosolic cyclophilin implies that these proteins act on different in vivo targets. 相似文献

Structural and functional properties of a phospholipase A2 purified from an inflammatory exudate 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14

The cell-free supernatant of sterile inflammatory peritoneal exudates contains a phospholipase A2 that participates in the digestion of Escherichia coli killed by polymorphonuclear leukocytes or by the purified bactericidal/permeability increasing protein (BPI) of these cells. This phospholipase A2 has been purified, and the sequence of the NH2-terminal 39 amino acids has been determined and compared with sequences of both BPI-responsive and BPI-nonresponsive phospholipases A2 from snake venoms and mammalian pancreas. The high concentration and location of basic residues in the NH2-terminal region is a common feature of BPI-responsive phospholipases A2 and may characterize those phospholipases A2 participating in inflammatory events. 相似文献

Two antibacterial proteins from rabbit polymorphonuclear leukocytes, a potent bactericidal cationic protein that increases the envelope permeability of susceptible gram-negative bacteria and a phospholipase A2, have been purified to near homogeneity by ion exchange, gel filtration, and hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The apparently noncatalytic bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein has an approximate molecular weight of 50,000 and is isoelectric at pH 9.5 to 10.0. The molecular properties, including amino acid composition, and the antibacterial potency and specificity of this rabbit leukocyte protein and of the bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein from human granulocytes that we have recently purified (J. Biol. Chem. 253, 2664-2672, 1978) are closely similar. Both proteins kill several strains of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. Rough strains are more sensitive than smooth strains. All gram-positive bacterial species tested are insensitive to high concentrations of either rabbit or human protein. The phospholipase A2, purified by hydrophobic interaction chromatography on phenyl-Sepharose, ran as a single band on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with an apparent molecular weight of 14,000 and had a specific enzymatic activity comparable to that of purified phospholipases A2 from other sources. Separation of the phospholipase A2 from the bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein has no noticeable effect on the bactericidal and permeability-increasing activities of the purified bactericidal protein, but removes the ability of the phospholipase A2 to hydrolyze the phospholipids of intact Escherichia coli. Upon recombination of the phospholipase A2 with the bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein, the phospholipase A2 regains its activity toward the phospholipids of intact E. coli suggesting that these two antibacterial leukocyte proteins act in concert. 相似文献

Interleukin 2 isolated from Escherichia coli cells expressing the human interleukin gene has been characterized. The observed properties of the protein have been compared with those properties which can be deduced from the DNA sequence alone and the published properties of natural human interleukin 2. The purified E. coli-derived interleukin 2 is a monomeric protein of Mr 15 000 with a sedimentation velocity of 1.86S. The amino acid composition of the protein and isoelectric point (7.7) are consistent with that part of the translated DNA sequence of the gene corresponding to the mature protein. A single disulphide bridge was identified between Cys-58 and Cys-105. C.d. suggested that interleukin 2 is predominantly alpha-helical in secondary structure. The E. coli-derived protein differed from natural interleukin 2 in the presence of N-terminal methionine and also in the absence of a carbohydrate moiety. Removal of the coding region for the first three amino acids of the natural interleukin 2 protein sequence (Ala-Pro-Thr) by site-specific mutagenesis resulted in a protein with N-terminal serine. The possibility that the specificity of the E. coli ribosomal methionine aminopeptidase may not recognize the sequence NH2-Met-Xaa-Pro is discussed (where Xaa is any amino acid residue). 相似文献

A synthetic gene for human pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (PSTI) was fused to the coding sequence for the amino-terminal 135 amino acid residues of human interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) by interposing a methionine codon sequence, and the resulting hybrid gene was efficiently expressed in Escherichia coli cells. Recombinant human PSTI (rHu-PSTI) was separated from the IFN-gamma/PSTI fused protein by cleavage at the methionine residue with cyanogen bromide. Finally, rHu-PSTI was purified by affinity chromatography on a bovine trypsin-CH-Sepharose 4B column. The amino acid composition, partial amino-terminal sequence, disulfide formation, human trypsin inhibitory activity, and immunoreactivity against rabbit anti-human PSTI serum of rHu-PSTI corresponded to those of the natural form. 相似文献

Bacillus cereus secretes phospholipases C, which hydrolyze phosphatidylcholine, sphingomyelin and phosphatidylinositol. A 7.5-kb HindIII fragment of B. cereus DNA cloned into Escherichia coli, with pUC18 as a vector, directed the synthesis of the sphingomyelin-hydrolyzing phospholipase C, sphingomyelinase. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the subfragment revealed that it contained two open reading frames in tandem. The upstream truncated open reading frame corresponds to the carboxy-terminal portion of the phosphatidylcholine-hydrolyzing phospholipase C, and the downstream open reading frame to the entire translational portion of the sphingomyelinase. The two phospholipase C genes form a gene cluster. As inferred from the DNA sequence, the B. cereus sphingomyelinase has a signal peptide of 27 amino acid residues and the mature enzyme comprises 306 amino acid residues, with a molecular mass of 34233 Da. The signal peptide of the enzyme was found to be functional in protein transport across the membrane of E. coli. The enzymatic properties of the sphingomyelinase synthesized in E. coli resemble those of the donor strain sphingomyelinase. The enzymatic activity toward sphingomyelin was enhanced 20-30-fold in the presence of MgCl2, and the adsorption of the enzyme onto erythrocyte membranes was accelerated in the presence of CaCl2. 相似文献

Reversible calcium-dependent association with a particulate fraction from human placenta was used as the first step in the purification of substrates for the epidermal growth factor-stimulated protein kinase. A protein with apparent Mr of 35,000 was purified to homogeneity, and the sequence was determined for approximately one-fourth of the protein. These residues could be aligned exactly with the previously published sequence of lipocortin I derived from the cDNA from a human lymphoma. Two other proteins that appear to be formed by proteolytic removal of 12 or 26 of the amino acids from the NH2 terminus of the protein also were isolated. Placental lipocortin I was phosphorylated in Tyr-21 in an epidermal growth factor-dependent manner by the kinase activity in a particulate fraction from A431 cells; half-maximal phosphorylation occurred at 50 nM lipocortin I. Lipocortin I phosphorylated on Tyr-21 was approximately 10-fold more sensitive to tryptic cleavage at Lys-26 than was the native protein. Placental lipocortin I and its two truncated forms were potent inhibitors of pancreatic phospholipase A2 activity. Another 33-kDa protein that was not related immunologically to lipocortin I or lipocortin II (calpactin I) also was purified from the EGTA extract of placenta. The unidentified protein inhibited phospholipase A2 but was not a substrate for the epidermal growth factor-stimulated kinase. The mechanism by which these proteins inhibit phospholipase A2 activity was investigated. Attempts to detect direct interaction between these proteins and the enzyme were unsuccessful. However, both the unidentified protein, lipocortin I, and 32P-labeled lipocortin I bound in a Ca2+-dependent manner to the [3H]oleic acid-labeled Escherichia coli membranes used as substrate in the phospholipase A2 assay. Heparin, which is known to block lipocortin I inhibition of phospholipase A2, also blocked binding of lipocortin I to E. coli membranes. The results of these and other experiments raise the possibility that placental lipocortin I inhibits phospholipase A2 activity in this assay by coating the phospholipid and thereby blocking interaction of enzyme and substrate. 相似文献

The complete nucleotide sequence of the phoS gene, the structural gene for the phosphate-repressible, periplasmic phosphate-binding protein Escherichia coli K-12, was determined. The phosphate-binding protein is synthesized in a precursor form which includes an additional N-terminal segment containing 25 amino acid residues, with the general characteristics of a signal sequence. The amino acid sequence derived from the nucleotide sequence shows the mature protein to be composed of 321 amino acids with a calculated molecular weight of 34,427. The phoS gene is not part of an operon and is transcribed counterclockwise with respect to the E. coli genetic map. A promoter region has been identified on the basis of homology with the consensus sequence of other E. coli promoter regions. However, an alternative promoter region has been identified on the basis of homology with the promoter regions of the phoA and phoE genes, the structural genes for alkaline phosphatase and outer-membrane pore protein e, respectively. 相似文献

Molecular cloning and expression in Escherichia coli of the cDNA coding for rat lipocortin I (calpactin II) 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Lipocortins (LC) are a family of proteins that were initially described to be induced by glucocorticosteroids and to inhibit phospholipase A2 (PLA2). Using oligodeoxynucleotide probes corresponding to partial amino acid (aa) sequences of rat lipocortin I (LCI), we have isolated a cDNA clone for rat LCI from a cDNA library prepared from poly(A)+RNA of peritoneal cells of dexamethasone-treated rat. The cDNA insert (1355 bp) had an open reading frame of 1038 bp that encoded a 346-aa polypeptide (Mr 38,784). The nucleotide sequence and the amino acid sequence deduced from it showed high homology with the reported sequences of human LCI. A plasmid containing the trc promoter and cDNA sequence for 346 aa residues of the rat LCI was constructed and expressed in Escherichia coli. Antibody to human LCI crossreacted with the recombinant rat LCI, and the recombinant protein had characteristics of natural rat LCI including PLA2 inhibitory activity in vitro. 相似文献

Purification and characterization of a lipocortin-like 33 kDa protein from guinea pig neutrophils 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A lipocortin-like, phospholipase A2 inhibitory 33 kDa protein was purified from guinea pig neutrophils. From amino acid composition and sequence data, this protein was found to have a high degree of homology to human lipocortin I. This protein inhibited porcine pancreatic phospholipase A2 activity in the presence of [3H]oleic acid-labeled Escherichia coli membranes as substrate. Maximal inhibition amounted to 65% whereas 50% inhibition occurred at 83.5 nM. This protein showed F-actin-binding ability in a Ca2+-dependent manner. 相似文献

A basic (pI = 10.2) phospholipase A2 of the venom of the snake Agkistrodon halys blomhoffii is one of a few phospholipases A2 capable of hydrolyzing the phospholipids of Escherichia coli killed by a bactericidal protein purified from human or rabbit neutrophil granules. We have shown that modification of as many as 4 mol of lysine per mole of the phospholipase A2, either by carbamylation or by reductive methylation [Forst, S., Weiss, J., & Elsbach, P. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 14055-14057], had no effect on catalytic activity toward extracted E. coli phospholipids or the phospholipids of autoclaved E. coli. In contrast, modification of 1 mol of lysine per mole of enzyme substantially reduced activity toward the phospholipids of E. coli killed by the neutrophil protein. To explore further the role of lysines in the function of this phospholipase A2, we determined the amino acid sequence of the enzyme and the incorporation of [14C]cyanate into individual lysines when, on average, 1 lysine per molecule of enzyme had been carbamylated. After incorporation of approximately 1 mol of [14C]cyanate per mole of protein, the phospholipase A2 was reduced, alkylated, and exhaustively carbamylated with unlabeled cyanate. The amino acid sequence was determined of the NH2-terminal 33 amino acids of the holoprotein and of peptides isolated after digestion with trypsin and Staphylococcus aureus V-8 protease. The protein contains 122 amino acid residues, 17 of which are lysines. The NH2-terminal region is unique among more than 30 phospholipases A2 previously sequenced because of its high content of basic residues (His-1, Arg-6, and Lys-7, -10, -11, and -15).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

A plasmid containing the human HSP70 gene was used to transfect and express the protein in Escherichia coli. The bacterial product was a fusion protein containing 640 amino acids of HSP70, plus 33 additional NH2 terminal amino acids; 12 from the bacterial expression vector and 21 from a 5' human sequence that is not normally translated. It was partially purified by ion-exchange and ATP-Sepharose affinity column chromatography. The bacterially produced human HSP70 protein was then compared with HSP70 obtained from cultured 293 cells. Both shared the same staphylococcal V8 protease peptide fragment pattern, ATP binding, and a weak ATPase activity (about 10-15 nmol ATP hydrolyzed per milligram protein per minute at 30 degrees C). The bacterially produced human HSP70 protein differed in its V8 protease pattern with an E. coli ATP-binding protein that corresponded in molecular mass to the E. coli dnaK gene product. Mutants in the human HSP70 gene were constructed which significantly reduced a predicted major alpha-helical domain in the HSP70 molecule that has partial homology to an ATP-binding site of several protein kinases. One HSP70 mutant clone contained a deletion of 20% at the NH2 terminus, and expressed a 57-kDa product, while the other was missing the middle 50% of the gene (40-kDa product). Neither protein fragment bound to an ATP affinity column, suggesting that ATP binding to HSP70 may be conformationally affected by a region about 20% internal to the NH2 terminal end of the molecule. Recently, a similar location of the ATP-binding site has been reported by Milarski and Morimoto (27). 相似文献
