Expression of mammalian liver glycolytic/ gluconeogenic enzymes in Escherichia coli: Recovery of active enzyme is strain and temperature dependent

A number of mammalian enzymes have been expressed in Escherichia coli using the T7 RNA polymerase system, but the production of large amounts of these proteins has been limited by the low percentage of active enzyme that is found in the soluble fraction. In this report the effect of induction temperature was tested on the recovery of four rat liver enzymes, 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6- bisphosphatase, fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase, glucokinase, and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase. We also tested the effect using a host cell strain that contains a plasmid encoding T7 lysozyme, an inhibitor of T7 RNA polymerase. Large amounts of the first three enzymes accumulated in the cells after 4 h of induction at 37 degrees C, but only about 1-2% of the total expressed proteins were recovered in a soluble, active form. When the induction was carried out at 22 degrees C for 48 h with the pLysS strain, 20- to 30-fold higher amounts of the active expressed enzymes were recovered in the soluble fraction, even though the total accumulation and the rate of synthesis of these proteins were reduced. The optimal concentration of isopropyl-1-thio-beta-D-galactopyranoside required for induction was the same at both temperatures. On the other hand, the recovery of active fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, a heat-stable enzyme, was 66% at 37 degrees C and was essentially unchanged at an induction temperature of 22 degrees C. Lowered induction temperature would appear to be of utility for enhanced recovery of active mammalian enzymes which are insoluble in E. coli cytosol at 37 degrees C.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Adherence Patterns and DNA Probe Types of Escherichia coli Isolated from Diarrheal Patients in China

One hundred and seventy-two strains of Escherichia coli isolated from diarrheal patients in Beijing, P. R. China, were analyzed for plasmid DNA profile, HEp-2 cell adherence ability and reactivity to 10 previously described DNA probes. They had not been recognized as pathogenic E. coli in China. Of the 110 strains tested, 76 (69%) contained one or multiple large plasmids. Of the 71 strains with the large plasmids 64 could adhere to HEp-2 cells. Of the 172 strains, 102 (59.3%) were hybridized with at least one of the 10 probes. Of those, seven strains hybridized with enteroaggregative E. coli (EAggEC) probe. Their serotypes were O128 (two strains), O6 (one strain), and O111 (one strain). Three strains were untypable. Six and three strains were hybridized with enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) attaching and effacing genes (eae) or EPEC adherence factor (EAF) probe, respectively. Two non-O157: H7 strains hybridized with enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) probe. Seventy-two strains (41.9%) hybridized with shiga-like toxin 2 or 1 (SLT2 or SLT1) probes. Among the SLT1 or SLT2 probe-positive strains, 54 hybridized with invasive (INV) plasmid probe developed for identification of enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC) and Shigella species. The INV and SLT probe-positive strains might represent a new variety of verotoxin-producing E. coli (VTEC).     

Actions of Rho family small G proteins and p21-activated protein kinases on mitogen-activated protein kinase family members.

The mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases are a family of serine/threonine kinases that are regulated by distinct extracellular stimuli. The currently known members include extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase 1 (ERK1), ERK2, the c-Jun N-terminal kinase/stress-activated protein kinases (JNK/SAPKs), and p38 MAP kinases. We find that overexpression of the Ste20-related enzymes p21-activated kinase 1 (PAK1) and PAK2 in 293 cells is sufficient to activate JNK/SAPK and to a lesser extent p38 MAP kinase but not ERK2. Rat MAP/ERK kinase kinase 1 can stimulate the activity of each of these MAP kinases. Although neither activated Rac nor the PAKs stimulate ERK2 activity, overexpression of either dominant negative Rac2 or the N-terminal regulatory domain of PAK1 inhibits Ras-mediated activation of ERK2, suggesting a permissive role for Rac in the control of the ERK pathway. Furthermore, constitutively active Rac2, Cdc42hs, and RhoA synergize with an activated form of Raf to increase ERK2 activity. These findings reveal a previously unrecognized connection between Rho family small G proteins and the ERK pathway.     

Cellobiose-oxidizing enzyme from a newly isolated cellulolytic bacterium Cytophaga sp. LX-7

Summary The cellobiose oxidizing enzyme of the newly isolated cellulolytic bacterium Cytophaga sp. LX-7 was produced extracellularly when grown on cellulose or other saccharides, which was previously noted only in fungi. The enzyme could use not only cellobiose, maltose, glucose and other saccharides but also cellulose as substrates, and use dichlorophenol indophenol and oxygen as electron acceptors.
