In vitro colonization ability of human colon mucosa by exogenous Lactobacillus strains

Abstract A 5.4 kb Hind III DNA fragment carrying the gene encoding raw starch-digesting α-amylase (RSDA), has been previously cloned from Bacillus circulans F-2 and expressed in Escherichia coli [Kim et al. (1990) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1048, 2233–2238]. Interestingly, when the cell extract of E. coli harboring a plasmid carrying this fragment was incubated with l M NaCl, it exhibited about 10 times higher enzyme activity than when assayed without NaCl. Differential zymograms showed two different amylase activities: one for RSDA and the other for a salt-dependent a-amylase (SDA). Even though RSDA activity was detected without NaCl, SDA activity was detected only in high concentrations of NaCl. SDA activity was fully detected at above l M NaCl. Results from subcloning of the genes, fractionation analysis of cell extracts, and immunological assays clearly suggested that the two amylases are genetically distinct and that genes for both enzymes are closely linked on the 5.4 kb DNA fragment.     

Transformation of leukotriene A4 methyl ester to leukotriene C4 monomethyl ester by cytosolic rat glutathione transferases

Six major basic cytosolic glutathione transferases from rat liver catalyzed the conversion of leukotriene A4 methyl ester to the corresponding leukotriene C4 monomethyl ester. Glutathione transferase 4-4, the most active among these enzymes, had a Vmax of 615 nmol X min-1 X mg protein-1 at 30 degrees C in the presence of 5 mM glutathione. It was followed in efficiency by transferase 3-4 which had a Vmax of 160 nmol X min-1 X mg-1 under the same conditions. Transferases 1-1, 1-2, 2-2 and 3-3 had at least 30 times lower Vmax values than transferase 4-4.     

The physiological role of the isoenzymes of lactate dehydrogenase in potatoes

Four of the five isoenzymes of lactate dehydrogenase present in potato tubers have been isolated and their kinetic properties examined. The pyruvate-reductase activity of isoenzyme-4 is greatly reduced at low pH, the affinity for both pyruvate and NADH is reduced and ATP has a stronger inhibitory effect. If the design properties of an enzyme dictate a high affinity for substrates, then the Km values for lactate, glyoxylate and NAD are consistent with an oxidative role for isoenzyme-4. The same considerations do not permit a conclusion about the physiological role of isoenzymes-1 to-3. However, an overview of the kinetic properties of these isoenzymes indicates that isoenzyme-1 is best adapted for the role of pyruvate reductase. Consideration of the relationships between kinetic constants and electrophoretic mobilities of the isoenzymes, leads us to predict that isoenzyme-5 is well adapted for a role in the oxidation of lactate or glyoxylate. The lactate dehydrogenase of potato leaves appears to consist prodominantly of an isoenzyme with the same mobility as isoenzyme-2 of the tubers and the two isoenzymes are probably identical. The kinetic properties of this isoenzyme are consistent with roles in either oxidation or reduction.Abbreviation Tris 2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol

Evidence for a triplicate set of glucosephosphate isomerase structural genes in hexaploid wheat

The glucosephosphate isomerase (GPI) zymogram phenotypes of 46 aneuploid derivatives of the cultivar Chinese Spring of hexaploid wheat were determined. Variation was observed among the strains in the relative level of expression of three GPI isozymes. The relationships observed between chromosomal constitution and zymogram phenotype support the hypothesis that the three GPI isozymes are dimers composed of protomers encoded by a minimum of three homoeologous structural genes located one each in the short arms of chromosomes 1A, 1B, and 1D. The relative levels of expression per dose of chromosome arm of the products of the three arms differ in a manner consistent with the presence of a two-fold greater quantity of the product of 1BS than of the product of 1AS and of 1DS, indicating that 1BS may contain duplicate GPI structural genes.     

Genetic diversity and restoration of a recalcitrant clonal sedge (Tetraria capillaris Cyperaceae)

The genetic diversity of a clonal sedge (Tertraria capillaris) was assessed using isozyme analysis of 11 loci. Of 29 enzyme systems tested, eight were selected which gave interpretable bands with consistently good resolution. Though seedlings of the species are rarely observed in nature, isozyme analysis showed that for the study transects containing 100 sample plants, the majority of plants at the site were sexually rather than clonally derived. Young plants generated from embryos grown in vitro from excised seeds showed a high level of genetic diversity which could account for the genetic diversity measured in the parent population. In terms of restoration of the species, 85% of the assessed genetic diversity at the study site could be retained if 25 T. capillaris plants were taken at random. The study illustrates how genetic assessment coupled with tissue culture methods provides a feasible model for the recovery of most of the assessed local genetic diversity of a clonal species.     

AQUEOUS TWO-PHASE EXTRACTION FOR THE PURIFICATION OF ALKALINE AGARASES FROM CULTURE EXTRACTS OF Pseudomonas aeruginosa AG LSL-11

The agarases were purified for the first time an using aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) consisting of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and phosphate salt. The three extracellular, alkaline agarases produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa AG LSL-11 were efficiently extracted into the top PEG-rich layer. The influencing factors on the partition of agarases—molecular weight of the PEG, system pH, system temperature, and NaCl concentration—were investigated. All the factors were found to have a significant effect on the partition of agarases except NaCl. The optimal ATPS parameters for the partitioning and purification of agarases were found to be 12% PEG 600 and 11.9% (w/w) phosphate salt at pH 8.0 and 4°C. All three agarases were concentrated in the top PEG phase with 6.19-fold purity and 71.21% recovery. The ATPS was found to be more convenient and economical than the conventional ion-exchange chromatography (IEC) method for extraction of three agarases and could be significantly employed for the purification of agarases from fermentation broth.
