粤蓝链霉菌榴菌素生物合成基因orf20的功能

【目的】在大肠杆菌中,转录因子SoxR作为胞内氧化还原感应器,参与抗氧化胁迫的全局性调控。粤蓝链霉菌榴菌素生物合成基因簇内存在一个类soxR基因orf20,但其生理功能仍不清楚。【方法】将orf20基因在大肠杆菌中进行表达,分析携带重组质粒的大肠杆菌对百草枯抗性的变化。同时通过修改后的PCR-targeting方法构建粤蓝链霉菌orf20删除的突变株,分析突变株的表型变化和对百草枯抗性水平的变化。【结果】重组ORF20在羧基端含有组氨酸标签,并在大肠杆菌中获得可溶性表达,携带重组质粒pET28b-orf20的大肠杆菌对百草枯的抗性水平显著提高。粤蓝链霉菌orf20删除突变株仍具有产孢能力,生长特性没有改变,对百草枯的抗性水平也没有变化,但榴菌素的产量大幅提高,是野生株的3.3倍。【结论】在大肠杆菌中,orf20基因的编码产物能够被百草枯激活,替代SoxR参与抗氧化胁迫的调控。在粤蓝链霉菌中,orf20基因不参与抗氧化胁迫,而对榴菌素的产生有负调控效应。     

脂肪酸代谢途径影响聚酮化合物生物合成的机制及应用研究进展

聚酮化合物（PKs）作为一大类次级代谢产物,有着重要的生物活性和潜在的应用价值。链霉菌具有合成多种聚酮化合物的潜力,但野生型菌株合成聚酮化合物的产量难以满足工业化生产的需求。贮藏脂质的降解能为聚酮化合物生物合成提供大量的酰基CoA前体,因此,控制好脂肪酸与聚酮化合物生物合成通量,有利于促进目标聚酮化合物的合成。本文综述了强化脂肪酸β-氧化途径提高聚酮化合物产量的研究进展,为利用β-氧化途径促进聚酮化合物生物合成提供了新的研究策略。

Cloning and analysis of geldanamycin partial biosynthetic gene cluster of streptomyces hygroscopicus 17997

A geldanamycin (GDM)-producing strain, Streptomyces hygroscopicus 17997, was isolated from the soil of Yunnan, China, by the researchers of the Institute of Medicinal Biotechnology, CAMS & PUMC. GDM is an ansamycin antibiotic, which has the ability to bind with Hsp90 (heat shock protein 90) and alter its function. Hsp90 plays a key role in regulating the physiology of cells exposed to environmental stress and in maintaining the malignant phenotype of tumor cells. As an inhibitor of Hsp90, GDM possesses potent antitumoral and antiviral bioactivity, but the hypatotoxicity and poor solubility in water limit its clinical use. To accomplish the structural modification of GDM by genetic means, an attempt to obtain the biosynthetic gene cluster of GDM from S. hygroscopicus 17997 was made. In this study, a pair of primers was designed according to a conserved sequence of one of the possible post-PKS (polyketides synthase) modification genes, the carbamoyltransferase (CT) gene (gdmN) in GDM biosynthesis. The 732-bp PCR product was obtained from the S. hygroscopicus 17997 genomic DNA. Through the colony-PCR Binary Search Method, using the CT gene primers, six positive cosmid clones, CT1-6, were identified from the S. hygroscopicus 17997 cosmid genomic library. The CT-4 positive cosmid was then sub-cloned and sequenced. Approximately 28.356 kb of foreign gene sequence from CT-4 cosmid and by further PCR extension reaction was obtained. According to BLAST analysis, this sequence contains 13 possible ORFs, and they are believed to be involved in GDM production. The obtained possible GDM biosynthetic gene cluster in S. hygroscopicus 17997 will facilitate the further functional analysis of the genes and the modification of the structure of GDM through combinatorial biosynthesis.     

Nucleotide sequence of the Ruminococcus albus SY3 endoglucanase genes ce1A and ce1B

Summary The complete nucleotide sequences of Ruminococcus albus genes celA and celB coding for endoglucanase A (EGA) and endoglucanase B (EGB), respectively, have been determined. The celA structural gene consists of an open reading frame of 1095 bp. Confirmation of the nucleotide sequence was obtained by comparing the predicted amino acid sequence with that derived by N-terminal analysis of purified EGA. The celB structural gene consists of an open reading frame of 1227 bp; 7 by upstream of the translational start codnn of celB is a typical gram-positive Shine-Dalgarno sequence. The deduced N-terminal region of EGB conforms to the general pattern for the signal peptides of secreted prokaryotic proteins. The complete celB gene, cloned into pUC vectors, caused lethality in Escherichia coli. In contrast, celA cloned in pUC18, under the control of lacZp, directed high-level synthesis of EGA in E. coli JM83. EGA in cell-free extract, purified to near homogeneity by ionexchange chromatography, had a M_r of 44.5 kDa. Gene deletion and subcloning studies with celA revealed that EGA hydrolysed both CMC and xylan, and did not contain discrete functional domains. EGA and EGB showed considerable homology with each other, in addition to exhibiting similarity with Egl (R. albus), EGE (Clostridium thermocellum) and End (Butyrivibrio fibrisolvens).Abbreviations CMC carboxymethylcellulose - CMCase carboxymethylcellulase - celA gene coding for EGA - EGA endoglucanase A - celB gene coding for EGB - EGB endoglucanase B - S-D Shine-Dalgarno

Time and substrate dependent exudation of carboxylates by Lupinus albus L. and Brassica napus L.

Root exudates influence significantly physical, chemical and biological characteristics of rhizosphere soil. Their qualitative and quantitative composition is affected by environmental factors such as pH, soil type, oxygen status, light intensity, soil temperature, plant growth, nutrient availability and microorganisms. The aim of the present study was to assess the influence of growth substrate and plant age on the release of carboxylates from Lupinus albus L. and Brassica napus L.Both plant species were studied in continuously percolated microcosms filled with either sand, soil or sand + soil (1:1) mixture. Soil solution was collected every week at 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 days after planting (DAP). Carboxylate concentrations were determined by reversed-phase liquid chromatography - electrospray ionization - time of flight mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-TOFMS).Oxalate, citrate, succinate, malate and maleate were detected in soil solutions of both plant species. Their concentrations were correlated with the physiological status of the plant and the growth substrate. Oxalate was the predominant carboxylate detected within the soil solution of B. napus plants while oxalate and citrate were the predominant ones found in the soil solutions of L. albus plants.The sampling determination of carboxylates released by plant roots with continuous percolation systems seems to be promising as it is a non-destructive method and allows sampling and determination of soluble low molecular weight organic compounds derived from root exudation as well as the concentration of soluble nutrients, which both might reflect the nutritional status of plants.

Effect of biodelignification of rice straw on humification and humus quality by Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Streptomyces badius

The effect of biodelignification of rice straw by two different ligninolytic organisms, Phanerochaete chrysosporium (white-rot fungus) and Streptomyces badius (actinomycetes), on humus quality was investigated during a 56-day incubation at 30 °C. Lignin degradation, the release of humic extract (HE), humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA), E4/E6 ratio of HA, and humification index (HI, HA/FA) were measured during the incubation. Lignin was degraded by both organisms, but to different extents. Lignin was degraded to 41% and 31% by P. chrysosporium and S. badius, respectively. HE released by P. chrysosporium and S. badius were, respectively, 2.10 and 2.13 times larger than that in the control at the maximum values. A significant correlation between lignin degradation and humus-related parameters involving HA fraction showed that both organisms are converting lignin to humic substances.
