研究了添加十六烷基三甲基溴化铵(CTAB)对吸水链霉菌(Streptomyces hygroscopicus)合成谷氨酰胺转胺酶的影响。结果表明,添加CTAB可以提高发酵过程中谷氨酰胺转胺酶的酶活,摇瓶培养中,CTAB的最佳添加时间和添加量分别为32h和1%,发酵终了时,谷氨酰胺转胺酶酶活最高达5.04u/mL,比对照提高了21.8%。初步研究表明,CTAB的主要作用是促使谷氨酰胺转胺酶的酶原转化为成熟酶,因此,在发酵过程中添加适当浓度的CTAB,可使酶原快速、完全地转化为成熟的MTG,解除酶原的产物抑制作用,促进了细胞产酶。     

添加胰蛋白酶促进Streptomyces hygroscopicus CCTCC M203062产谷氨酰胺转胺酶

研究了添加胰蛋白酶对Streptomyces hygroscopicus CCTCC M203062合成谷氨酰胺转胺酶的影响。结果表明,添加胰蛋白酶可以提高发酵过程中谷氨酰胺转胺酶的酶活。摇瓶培养中,在发酵起始时添加200U/ml的胰蛋白酶,谷氨酰胺转胺酶的酶活最高达到了6.61U/ml,比对照提高了27.1%。初步研究表明,添加胰蛋白酶可以直接切割发酵过程中产生的酶原,使其被快速地转化为成熟酶,因此推测胰蛋白酶提高谷氨酰胺转胺酶酶活的原因是解除了酶原的产物抑制作用,产生更多的酶原,从而促进了产酶。     

NaCl对轮枝链霉菌产谷氨酰胺转胺酶的促进作用研究

为了提高轮枝链霉菌发酵生产谷氨酰胺转胺酶的产量,研究了3种无机盐(NaCl、MgCl₂、KCl)对发酵产酶的影响。研究表明0.5%MgCl₂、0.5%NaCl均可促进菌体产酶,其中添加NaCl后谷氨酰胺转胺酶酶活提高最为显著。SDS-PAGE图谱分析显示,在各取样点实验组谷氨酰胺转胺酶酶原和成熟酶的总量高于对照,而且实验组成熟酶的增加也比对照快,从而显示NaCl是通过促进酶原的分泌和谷氨酰胺转胺酶的成熟,从而提高酶活、提早产酶。对NaCl的添加量进行优化,表明NaCl的最适添加量为0.5%,在此条件下,与对照相比,酶活水平提高了12%以上,发酵终点提前了约15h。     

甲壳素促进茂源链霉菌发酵产酶

为了提高茂源链霉菌发酵生产谷氨酰胺转胺酶的产量,研究了甲壳素对茂源链霉菌发酵产酶的影响。结果表明,添加0.5%的甲壳素对茂源链霉菌发酵产酶的促进效果极显著,但甲壳素的添加量达到2%时反而会抑制菌株产酶。从菌株生长代谢过程中p H变化、产酶情况、发酵液中蛋白含量及总氮含量等方面,对甲壳素促进茂源链霉菌发酵产酶的作用机理进行了初步探讨。研究显示,甲壳素在茂源链霉菌发酵过程中对菌体生长产生一定的胁迫,刺激菌体大量分泌次级代谢产物,从而提高茂源链霉菌的产酶。对菌株发酵过程的显微观察则表明,甲壳素也可能通过分散菌体生长,提高菌体向胞外分泌谷氨酰胺转胺酶的量来促进产酶。

pH-Dependent Activation of Streptomyces hygroscopicus Transglutaminase Mediated by Intein

Microbial transglutaminase (MTG) from Streptomyces is naturally secreted as a zymogen (pro-MTG), which is then activated by the removal of its N-terminal proregion by additional proteases. Inteins are protein-intervening sequences that catalyze protein splicing without cofactors. In this study, a pH-dependent Synechocystis sp. strain PCC6803 DnaB mini-intein (SDB) was introduced into pro-MTG to simplify its activation process by controlling pH. The recombinant protein (pro-SDB-MTG) was obtained, and the activation process was determined to take 24 h at pH 7 in vitro. To investigate the effect of the first residue in MTG on the activity and the cleavage time, two variants, pro-SDB-MTG(D1S) and pro-SDB-MTG(ΔD1), were expressed, and the activation time was found to be 6 h and 30 h, respectively. The enzymatic property and secondary structure of the recombinant MTG and two variants were similar to those of the wild type, indicating that the insertion of mini-intein did not affect the function of MTG. This insignificant effect was further illustrated by molecular dynamics simulations. This study revealed a controllable and effective strategy to regulate the activation process of pro-MTG mediated by a mini-intein, and it may have great potential for industrial MTG production.     

MitoTracker Green labeling of mitochondrial proteins and their subsequent analysis by capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection

MitoTracker Green (MTG) is a mitochondrial-selective fluorescent label commonly used in confocal microscopy and flow cytometry. It is expected that this dye selectively accumulates in the mitochondrial matrix where it covalently binds to mitochondrial proteins by reacting with free thiol groups of cysteine residues. Here we demonstrate that MTG can be used as a protein labeling reagent that is compatible with a subsequent analysis by capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection (CE-LIF). Although the MTG-labeled proteins and MTG do not seem to electrophoretically separate, an enhancement in fluorescence intensity of the product indicates that only proteins with free thiol groups are capable of reacting with MTG. In addition we propose that MTG is a partially selective label towards some mitochondrial proteins. This selectivity stems from the high MTG concentration in the mitochondrial matrix that favors alkylation of the available thiol groups in this subcellular compartment. To that effect we treated mitochondria-enriched fractions that had been prepared by differential centrifugation of an NS-1 cell lysate. This fraction was solubilized with an SDS-containing buffer and analyzed by CE-LIF. The presence of a band with fluorescence stronger than MTG alone also indicated the presence of an MTG-protein product. Confirming that MTG is labeling mitochondrial proteins was done by treating the solubilized mitochondrial fraction with 5-furoylquinoline-3-carboxaldehyde (FQ), a fluorogenic reagent that reacts with primary amino groups, and analysis by CE-LIF using two separate detection channels: 520 nm for MTG-labeled species and 635 nm for FQ-labeled species. In addition, these results indicate that MTG labels only a subset of proteins in the mitochondria-enriched fraction.     

Effect of amino acid supplementation on the synthesis of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) by recombinant pha Sa + Escherichia coli

The effect of different amino acid supplements to the basal medium on poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) accumulation by recombinant pha _Sa ⁺ Escherichia coli (ATCC: PTA-1579) harbouring the poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)-synthesizing genes from Streptomyces aureofaciens NRRL 2209 was studied. With the exception of glycine and valine, all other amino acid supplements brought about enhancement of PHB accumulation. In particular, cysteine, isoleucine or methionine supplementation increased PHB accumulation by 60, 45 and 61% respectively by the recombinant E. coli as compared with PHB accumulation by this organism in the basal medium. The effect of co-ordinated addition of assorted combinations of these three amino acids on PHB accumulation was studied using a 2³ factorial design. The three-factor interaction analyses revealed that the effect of the three amino acids on PHB accumulation by the recombinant E. coli was in the order of cysteine > methionine > isoleucine. The defined medium supplemented with cysteine, methionine and isoleucine at the concentration of 150 mgl^–1 each and glycerol as the carbon source was the optimum medium that resulted in the accumulation of about 52% PHB of cell dry weight.

以MS为基础培养基,改变激素配比、氮源和光照等因素,以分光光度法和HPLC法分析三七愈伤组织培养过程中皂苷含量的变化。结果表明:培养条件对三七愈伤组织中皂苷积累有一定影响,激素配比对愈伤组织中皂苷含量的影响最大,在0.5 mg·L-12,4-D+1.0 mg·L-16-BA组合下,培养物中总皂苷含量最多,达到4.72%±0.29%;在总氮量为60 mmol·L-1条件下,45 mmol·L-1KNO3+7.5 mmol·L-1NH4NO3(NO3-/NH4+=7∶1)时,愈伤组织皂苷含量最多,达到4.71%±0.17%;分别在1 000 lx和500 lx光强下每天光照12 h的愈伤组织,皂苷含量均低于黑暗培养的愈伤组织,三者皂苷含量分别为1.94%±0.31%、2.38%±0.12%和3.57%±0.27%,光照引起愈伤组织表面变绿及细胞分化,可能是抑制愈伤组织中皂苷合成与积累的主要原因;HPLC检测发现,三七愈伤组织和根中均含有Rg1、Re、Rb1及Rd四种皂苷,但栽培三七根含有R1皂苷,而三七愈伤组织中未检测到R1,其原因需要进一步研究。该研究结果为未来愈伤组织培养成为部分代替人工栽培生产三七天然产物的潜在途径提供了研究基础。     

Identification of preferred substrate sequences of microbial transglutaminase from Streptomyces mobaraensis using a phage-displayed peptide library

Microbial transglutaminase (TGase) from Streptomyces mobaraensis (MTG) has been used in many industrial applications because it effectively catalyzes the formation of covalent cross-linking between glutamine residues in various substrate proteins and lysine residues or primary amines. To better understand the sequence preference around the reactive glutamine residue by this enzymatic reaction, we screened preferred peptide sequences using a phage-displayed random peptide library. Most of the peptides identified contained a consensus sequence, which was different from those previously found for mammalian TGases. Of these, most sequences had a specific reactivity toward MTG when produced as a fusion protein with glutathione-S-transferase. Furthermore, the representative sequence was found to be reactive even in the peptide form. The amino acid residues in the sequence critical for the reactivity were further analyzed, and the possible interaction with the enzyme has been discussed in this paper.     

Enhancement of apparent thermostability of lipase from Rhizopus sp. by the treatment with a microbial transglutaminase

Crude lipase from Rhizopus sp. was moderately stable against heat treatment at 45 °C. However, after incubation for 1 h at 25 °C with Streptoverticillium transglutaminase (MTG), the half-life of crude lipase in the heat treatment was increased more than 10-fold compared to that of untreated one. The result can be ascribed by the MTGase-mediated crosslinking of contaminating proteins that affect the apparent thermostability of lipase in the crude sample.
