The cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase, EC 2.4.1.19) gene from Bacillus sp. G1 was successfully isolated and cloned into Escherichia coli. Analysis of the nucleotide sequence revealed the presence of an open reading frame of 2,109 bp and encoded a 674 amino acid protein. Purified CGTase exhibited a molecular weight of 75 kDa and had optimum activity at pH 6 and 60°C. Heterologous recombinant protein expression in E. coli is commonly problematic causing intracellular localization and formation of inactive inclusion bodies. This paper shows that the majority of CGTase was secreted into the medium due to the signal peptide of Bacillus sp. G1 that also works well in E. coli, leading to easier purification steps. When reacted with starch, CGTase G1 produced 90% β-cyclodextrin (CD) and 10% γ-CD. This enzyme also preferred the economical tapioca starch as a substrate, based on kinetics studies. Therefore, CGTase G1 could potentially serve as an industrial enzyme for the production of β-CD.  相似文献

Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase; E.C. 2.4.1.19) is an industrially important enzyme, which is used to produce cyclodextrins (CDs). In this research, we report the use of experimental factorial design to find the best conditions of pH and temperature for CGTase production by Bacillus circulans var. alkalophilus. The optimized calculated values for the tested variables were, respectively, pH 9.7 and temperature 36oC, with a CGTase activity of 615 U mL−1. The CGTase production was further studied with the optimized process parameters on submerged cultivations (SC) and solid-state cultivations (SSC) using soybean industrial fibrous residue (SIFR). The maximum CGTase activity obtained on SC was 1,155 U mL−1 under aerobic conditions. Cell growth and CGTase synthesis in SSC using SIFR as substrate was excellent, with CGTase activity of 32,776 U g(SIFR) −1. These results strongly support the use of SIFR for CGTase production since it is a non-expensive residue.  相似文献

A major disadvantage of cyclodextrin production is the limited cyclodextrin product specificity of cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase). Here, we described mutations of Asp372 and Tyr89 at subsite −3 in the CGTase from Paenibacillus macerans strain JFB05-01. The results showed that Asp372 and Tyr89 played important roles in cyclodextrin product specificity of CGTase. The replacement of Asp372 by lysine and Tyr89 by aspartic acid, asparagine, lysine, and arginine resulted in a shift in specificity towards the production of α-cyclodextrin, which was most apparent for the mutants D372K and Y89R. Furthermore, the changes in cyclodextrin product specificity for the single mutants D372K and Y89R could be combined in the double mutant D372K/Y89R, which displayed a 1.5-fold increase in the production of α-cyclodextrin, with a concomitant 43% decrease in the production of β-cyclodextrin when compared to the wild-type CGTase. Thus, the D372K and Y89R single and double mutants were much more suitable for the industrial production of α-cyclodextrin than the wild-type enzyme. The enhanced α-cyclodextrin specificity of these mutants might be a result of stabilizing the bent conformation of the intermediate in the cyclization reaction.  相似文献

Cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) gene of Bacillus macerans was subcloned down-stream of yeast ADH1 promoter and expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Most of the CGTase expressed was in the extracellular medium with a maximum activity of about 0.28 unit ml–1 after 48 h cultivation. The recombinant CGTase was secreted as an N-linked-glycosylated form and predominantly produced -cyclodextrin from starch.  相似文献

A phylogenetic tree was constructed on the basis of the amino acid sequences of the known cyclodextrin glucanotransferases (CDGTs), including those deduced from the nucleotide sequences ofBacillus sp. strain 6.6.3 andPaenibacillus macerans IB-7 genes encoding α- and β-CDGTs. The tree clearly demonstrates the existence of distinct phylogenetic groups of CDGT-producing microorganisms and the divergence of the α-, β-, and γ-CDGT produced by microorganisms from the generaBacillus, Paenibacillus, Brevibacillus, andThermoanaerobacter from a common ancestor, whereas the CDGT ofKlebsiella pneumoniae is independent and results from the convergence of different ancestors. The degree of homology of the leader peptide sequences of CDGTs may serve as a criterion of intraspecies relatedness between CDGT-producing microorganisms.  相似文献

A novel phytase gene appA, with upstream and downstream sequences from Citrobacter amalonaticus CGMCC 1696, was cloned by degenerate polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and thermal asymmetric interlaced (TAIL) PCR and was overexpressed in Pichia pastoris. Sequence analysis revealed one open reading frame that consisted of 1311 bp encoding a 436–amino-acid protein, which had a deduced molecular mass of 46.3 kDa. The phytase appA belongs to the histidine acid phosphatase family and exhibits the highest identity (70.1%) with C. braakii phytase. The gene was overexpressed in P. pastoris. The secretion yield of recombinant appA protein was accumulated to approximately 4.2 mg·mL−1, and the enzyme activity level reached 15,000 U·mL−1, which is higher than any previous reports. r-appA was glycosylated, as shown by Endo H treatment. r-appA was purified and characterized. The specific activity of r-appA for sodium phytate was 3548 U·mg−1. The optimum pH and temperature for enzyme activity were 4.5 and 55°C, respectively. r-appA was highly resistant to pepsin or trypsin treatment. This enzyme could be an economic and efficient alternative to the phytases currently used in the feed industry.  相似文献

The Pythium biocontrol features of 17 Paenibacillus strains, all previously isolated from the rhizosphere, hyphosphere or bulk soil from mycorrhizal and non-mycorrhizal cucumber plants, were examined using a cucumber seedling emergence bioassay. Thirteen strains – four strains of Paenibacillus polymyxa, eight strains of P. macerans and one strain of Paenibacillus sp. – significantly increased the percentage of seedling emergence of seeds inoculated with agar plugs of Pythium aphanidermatum FC42. Overall, the efficacy of Pythium biocontrol did not seem to differ between isolates of Paenibacillus originating from either mycorrhizal or non-mycorrhizal systems. No strains significantly reduced the damping-off incidence caused by the aggressive isolate Pythium sp. B5. Two strains of P. macerans not only reduced the incidence of pre-emergence damping-off by 73%, but they also counteracted the plant growth-depressing effect of P. aphanidermatum FC42, so that 68–82% of the emerged seedlings remained healthy 7 days after sowing. Two strains of P. macerans and one strain of P. polymyxa also significantly increased the percentage of seedling emergence following inoculation with approximately 105 zoospores of P. aphanidermatum FC42. There was no significant difference between the dry weight of three selected bacteria-inoculated and -uninoculated plants in the absence of Pythium; however, the dry weight of bacteria-inoculated plants was significantly higher than that of the uninoculated control plants with bacteria in the presence of P. aphanidermatum FC42.  相似文献

The cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) gene of alkalophilic Bacillus sp. A2-5a was cloned and expressed in Bacillus subtilis ANA-1 as a host. The DNA region included an open reading frame encoding a 704-amino-acid polypeptide with a typical raw starch-binding motif in its C-terminal region. The CGTase purified from Bacillus sp. A2-5a bound to raw starch as strongly as porcine pancreas α-amylase, as expected from the sequence motif. A chromosomal region (a DNA fragment of about 14.1 kbp) including the CGTase gene was also cloned and the nucleotide sequence was determined. Possible cyclodextrinase and putative cyclodextrin-binding protein genes were found in the flanking region of the CGTase gene, which implied that the novel starch-degradation pathway postulated for a gram-negative bacterium [Klebsiella oxytoca; Fiedler et al. (1996) J Mol Biol 256: 279–291] also exists in a gram-positive bacterium i.e. Bacillus. Received: 6 August 1999 / Received last revision: 8 October 1999 / Accepted: 22 October 1999  相似文献

Summary The variety of thermostable (TS) enzymes has been steadily increasing for use in industrial applications, mainly as replacements for thermolabile (TL) enzymes. For example, TS amylases fromBacillus licheniformis andBacillus stearothermophilus have replaced TL amylases fromBacillus subtilis. TS enzymes also have advantages in new areas such as cyclodextrin production. The TS cyclodextrin glycosyl transferase (CGTase) fromThermoanaerobacter sp. (95°C optimum) gives a higher productivity than the CGTase fromBacillus macerans (55°C optimum). In the area of enzymatic bleach boosting of wood pulps, a TS xylanase (Myceliophera thermophila) would be advantageous over a TL xylanase (Trichoderma reesei), due to the high temperature of the incoming pulp. Not all TS enzymes are from thermophiles; the mesophileCandida antarctica produces a TS lipase which has a temperature optimum of 90°C when immobilized. The characterization of these enzymes will be described along with comparisons to some newly described TS enzymes.  相似文献

The genes encoding an enantioselective nitrile hydratase (NHase) from Rhodococcus erythropolis AJ270 have been cloned and an active NHase has been produced in Escherichia coli. Maximal activity was found when the genes encoding the α- and β-subunits were transcribed as one unit and the gene encoding the P44k activator protein as a separate ORF on a single replicon. Addition of n-butyric acid and FeSO4 could improve NHase activity. Coexpression of the GroEL-GroES chaperone proteins increased activity in the absence of P44k protein but had no effect in the presence of P44k. The recombinant enzyme was highly enantioselective in the synthesis of S-(+)-3-benzoyloxy- 4-cyanobutyramide from the prochiral substrate 3-benzoyloxyglutaronitrile.  相似文献

A novel raw starch degrading α-cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase; E.C. 2.4.1.19), produced by Klebsiella pneumoniae AS-22, was purified to homogeneity by ultrafiltration, affinity and gel filtration chromatography. The specific cyclization activity of the pure enzyme preparation was 523 U/mg of protein. No hydrolysis activity was detected when soluble starch was used as the substrate. The molecular weight of the pure protein was estimated to be 75 kDa with SDS-PAGE and gel filtration. The isoelectric point of the pure enzyme was 7.3. The enzyme was most active in the pH range 5.5–9.0 whereas it was most stable in the pH range 6–9. The CGTase was most active in the temperature range 35–50°C. This CGTase is inherently temperature labile and rapidly loses activity above 30°C. However, presence of soluble starch and calcium chloride improved the temperature stability of the enzyme up to 40°C. In presence of 30% (v/v) glycerol, this enzyme was almost 100% stable at 30°C for a month. The Km and kcat values for the pure enzyme were 1.35 mg ml−1 and 249 μM mg−1 min−1, respectively, with soluble starch as the substrate. The enzyme predominantly produced α-cyclodextrin without addition of any complexing agents. The conditions employed for maximum α-cyclodextrin production were 100 g l−1 gelatinized soluble starch or 125 g l−1 raw wheat starch at an enzyme concentration of 10 U g−1 of starch. The α:β:γ-cyclodextrins were produced in the ratios of 81:12:7 and 89:9:2 from gelatinized soluble starch and raw wheat starch, respectively.  相似文献

Transgenic herbicide-resistant sweet potato plants [Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.] were produced through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system. Embryogenic calli derived from shoot apical meristems were infected with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA105 harboring the pCAMBIA3301 vector containing the bar gene encoding phosphinothricin N-acetyltransferase (PAT) and the gusA gene encoding β-glucuronidase (GUS). The PPT-resistant calli and plants were selected with 5 and 2.5 mg l−1 PPT, respectively. Soil-grown plants were obtained 28–36 weeks after Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. Genetic transformation of the regenerated plants growing under selection was demonstrated by PCR, and Southern blot analysis revealed that one to three copies of the transgene were integrated into the plant genome of each transgenic plant. Expression of the bar gene in transgenic plants was confirmed by RT-PCR and application of herbicide. Transgenic plants sprayed with Basta containing 900 mg l−1 of glufosinate ammonium remained green and healthy. The transformation frequency was 2.8% determined by herbicide application which was high when compared to our previous biolistic method. In addition, possible problems with multiple copies of transgene were also discussed. We therefore report here a successful and reliable Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of the bar gene conferring herbicide-resistance and this method may be useful for routine transformation and has the potential to develop new varieties of sweet potato with several important genes for value-added traits such as enhanced tolerance to the herbicide Basta.  相似文献

Two rapid and easy-to-scale-up methods for the purification of cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) from Bacillus circulans were developed: affinity precipitation with starch and aqueous two-phase partition. The first method, optimised by a factorial design, gave an 80% CGTase adsorption at 11% starch and 1.6% ammonium sulphate, and a 65% recovery after elution with 10 mM α-cyclodextrin. The purification factor was 17. Aqueous two-phase partition yielded a 72% CGTase recovery in a two-step procedure; CGTase was obtained in the bottom phase with a purification factor of 37.  相似文献

A gene that encodes the enzyme Pyrococcus furiosus cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (PFCGT) was cloned in Escherichia coli. PFCGT was highly expressed in recombinant E. coli after compensation for codon usage bias using the pRARE plasmid. Purified PFCGT was extremely thermostable with an optimal temperature and pH of 95°C and 5.0, respectively, retaining 97% of its activity at 100°C. Incubation at 60°C for 20 min during the purification process led to a 1.5-fold increase in enzymatic activity. A time course assay of the PFCGT reaction with starch indicated that cyclic α-1,4-glucans with DPs greater than 20 were produced at the beginning of the incubation followed by an increase in β-CD. The major final product of PFCGT cyclization was β-CD, and thus the enzyme is a β-CGTase.  相似文献

A cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase, EC 2.4.1.19) was successfully isolated and characterized from the halophilic archaeon Haloferax mediterranei. The enzyme is a monomer with a molecular mass of 77 kDa and optimum activity at 55°C, pH 7.5 and 1.5 M NaCl. The enzyme displayed many activities related to the degradation and transformation of starch. Cyclization was found to be the predominant activity, yielding a mixture of cyclodextrins, mainly α-CD, followed by hydrolysis and to a lesser extent coupling and disproportionation activities. Gene encoding H. mediterranei CGTase was cloned and heterologously overexpressed. Sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame of 2142 bp that encodes a protein of 713 amino acids. The amino acid sequence displayed high homology with those belonging to the α-amylase family. The CGTase is secreted to the extracellular medium by the Tat pathway. Upstream of the CGTase gene, four maltose ABC transporter genes have been sequenced (malE, malF, malG, malK). The expression of the CGTase gene yielded a fully active CGTase with similar kinetic behavior to the wild-type enzyme. The H. mediterranei CGTase is the first halophilic archaeal CGTase characterized, sequenced and expressed.  相似文献

Arene cis-diols are interesting chemicals because of their chiral structures and great potentials in industrial synthesis of useful chiral chemical products. Pseudomonas putida KT2442 was genetically modified to transform benzoic acid (benzoate) to 1,2-dihydroxy-cyclohexa-3,5-diene-1-carboxylic acid (DHCDC) or named benzoate cis-diol. BenD gene encoding cis-diol dehydrogenase was deleted to generate a mutant named P. putida KTSY01. Genes benABC encoding benzoate dioxygenase were cloned into plasmid pSYM01 and overexpressed in P. putida KTSY01. The recombinant bacteria P. putida KTSY01 (pSYM01) showed strong ability to transform benzoate to DHCDC. DHCDC of 2.3 g/L was obtained with a yield of 73% after 24 h of cultivation in shake flasks incubated under optimized growth conditions. Transformation of benzoate carried out in a 6-L fermentor using a benzoate fed-batch process produced over 17 g/L DHCDC after 48 h of fermentation. The average DHCDC production rate was 0.356 g L−1 h−1. DHCDC purified from the fermentation broth showed a purity of more than 95%, and its chemical structure was confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance.  相似文献

Summary An efficient regeneration and transformation system was developed for two elite aspen hybrid clones (Populus canescens × P. grandidentada and P. tremuloides × P. davidiana). Callus was induced from in vitro leaf explants on modified Murashige and Skoog medium (MSA) and woody plant medium (WPM) containing four different combinations of cytokinins and auxins. Callus tissues regenerated into shoots on WPM medium supplemented with 2.0 mgl−1 (9.12 μM) zeatin or 0.01 mgl−1 (0.045 μM) thidiazuron. P. canescens × P. grandidentata exhibited the higher callus and shoot production. In vitro leaf explants from the two hybrid clones were cocultivated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA105 harboring the binary Ti plasmid pBI121 carrying the uidA gene encoding for β-glucuronidase (GUS) and the npt II gene encoding for neomycin phosphotransferase II. Transformation was confirmed by GUS assays, polymerase chain reaction, and Southern blot analyses. Agrobacterium concentration, acetosyringone, and pH of the cocultivation medium were evaluated for enhancing transformation efficiency with the clone P. canescens × P. grandidentata.  相似文献

Batch and fed-batch fermentation processes were employed to culture an alkalophilic Bacillus sp. for the production of cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase). CGTase production was repressed by glucose and induced by soluble starch. By fed-batch fermentation, a CGTase activity up to 56 unit ml−1 with 65 g dry cells l−1 were achieved. The CGTase activity and cell density were increased 360 and 510%, respectively, from those values achieved with batch fermentation.  相似文献

A Corynebacterium glutamicum strain (ΔldhA-pCRA717) that overexpresses the pyc gene encoding pyruvate carboxylase while simultaneously exhibiting a disrupted ldhA gene encoding l-lactate dehydrogenase was investigated in detail for succinic acid production. Succinic acid was shown to be efficiently produced at high-cell density under oxygen deprivation with intermittent addition of sodium bicarbonate and glucose. Succinic acid concentration reached 1.24 M (146 g l−1) within 46 h. The yields of succinic acid and acetic acid from glucose were 1.40 mol mol−1 (0.92 g g−1) and 0.29 mol mol−1 (0.10 g g−1), respectively. The succinic acid production rate and yield depended on medium bicarbonate concentration rather than glucose concentration. Consumption of bicarbonate accompanied with succinic acid production implied that added bicarbonate was used for succinic acid synthesis.  相似文献
