Three families of Bacillus cyclic lipopeptides—surfactins, iturins, and fengycins—have well-recognized potential uses in biotechnology and biopharmaceutical applications. This study outlines the isolation and characterization of locillomycins, a novel family of cyclic lipopeptides produced by Bacillus subtilis 916. Elucidation of the locillomycin structure revealed several molecular features not observed in other Bacillus lipopeptides, including a unique nonapeptide sequence and macrocyclization. Locillomycins are active against bacteria and viruses. Biochemical analysis and gene deletion studies have supported the assignment of a 38-kb gene cluster as the locillomycin biosynthetic gene cluster. Interestingly, this gene cluster encodes 4 proteins (LocA, LocB, LocC, and LocD) that form a hexamodular nonribosomal peptide synthetase to biosynthesize cyclic nonapeptides. Genome analysis and the chemical structures of the end products indicated that the biosynthetic pathway exhibits two distinct features: (i) a nonlinear hexamodular assembly line, with three modules in the middle utilized twice and the first and last two modules used only once and (ii) several domains that are skipped or optionally selected. 相似文献

Nonribosomal Peptide Synthase Gene Clusters for Lipopeptide Biosynthesis in Bacillus subtilis 916 and Their Phenotypic Functions 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Bacillus cyclic lipopeptides (LPs) have been well studied for their phytopathogen-antagonistic activities. Recently, research has shown that these LPs also contribute to the phenotypic features of Bacillus strains, such as hemolytic activity, swarming motility, biofilm formation, and colony morphology. Bacillus subtilis 916 not only coproduces the three families of well-known LPs, i.e., surfactins, bacillomycin Ls (iturin family), and fengycins, but also produces a new family of LP called locillomycins. The genome of B. subtilis 916 contains four nonribosomal peptide synthase (NRPS) gene clusters, srf, bmy, fen, and loc, which are responsible for the biosynthesis of surfactins, bacillomycin Ls, fengycins, and locillomycins, respectively. By studying B. subtilis 916 mutants lacking production of one, two, or three LPs, we attempted to unveil the connections between LPs and phenotypic features. We demonstrated that bacillomycin Ls and fengycins contribute mainly to antifungal activity. Although surfactins have weak antifungal activity in vitro, the strain mutated in srfAA had significantly decreased antifungal activity. This may be due to the impaired productions of fengycins and bacillomycin Ls. We also found that the disruption of any LP gene cluster other than fen resulted in a change in colony morphology. While surfactins and bacillomycin Ls play very important roles in hemolytic activity, swarming motility, and biofilm formation, the fengycins and locillomycins had little influence on these phenotypic features. In conclusion, B. subtilis 916 coproduces four families of LPs which contribute to the phenotypic features of B. subtilis 916 in an intricate way. 相似文献

Caveolin-1, the structural protein component of caveolae, acts as a scaffolding protein that functionally regulates signaling molecules. We show that knockdown of caveolin-1 protein expression enhances chemotherapeutic drug-induced apoptosis and inhibits long-term survival of colon cancer cells. In vitro studies demonstrate that caveolin-1 is a novel Ku70-binding protein, as shown by the binding of the scaffolding domain of caveolin-1 (amino acids 82-101) to the caveolin-binding domain (CBD) of Ku70 (amino acids 471-478). Cell culture data show that caveolin-1 binds Ku70 after treatment with chemotherapeutic drugs. Mechanistically, we found that binding of caveolin-1 to Ku70 inhibits the chemotherapeutic drug-induced release of Bax from Ku70, activation of Bax, translocation of Bax to mitochondria and apoptosis. Potentiation of apoptosis by knockdown of caveolin-1 protein expression is greatly reduced in the absence of Bax expression. Finally, we found that overexpression of wild type Ku70, but not a mutant form of Ku70 that cannot bind to caveolin-1 (Ku70 Φ→A), limits the chemotherapeutic drug-induced Ku70/Bax dissociation and apoptosis. Thus, caveolin-1 acts as an anti-apoptotic protein in colon cancer cells by binding to Ku70 and inhibiting Bax-dependent cell death. 相似文献

Mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a key regulator of cell growth and metabolism. Its activity is controlled by various types of signals, including growth factors, nutrients, and stresses. In this study, we show that changes in expression levels of two antiapoptotic proteins, Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL, also affect mTORC1 signaling activity. In cells overexpressing Bcl-XL, mTORC1 activity is increased and becomes less sensitive to growth factor or nutrient conditions. In contrast, reduction in expression levels of the two antiapoptotic proteins inhibits mTORC1 signaling activity. Our results suggest that the effect of Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL on mTORC1 is mediated by FKBP38, an inhibitor of mTORC1. The two proteins compete with mTORC1 for FKBP38 binding and hence alter mTORC1 activity. This study reveals a novel cross-talk between Bcl-2/XL and mTORC1 signaling, which is likely to contribute to cancer development. 相似文献

Oxidative stress can induce premature cellular senescence. Senescent cells secrete various growth factors and cytokines, such as IL-6, that can signal to the tumor microenvironment and promote cancer cell growth. Sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) is a class III histone deacetylase that regulates a variety of physiological processes, including senescence. We found that caveolin-1, a structural protein component of caveolar membranes, is a direct binding partner of Sirt1, as shown by the binding of the scaffolding domain of caveolin-1 (amino acids 82–101) to the caveolin-binding domain of Sirt1 (amino acids 310–317). Our data show that oxidative stress promotes the sequestration of Sirt1 into caveolar membranes and the interaction of Sirt1 with caveolin-1, which lead to inhibition of Sirt1 activity. Reactive oxygen species stimulation promotes acetylation of p53 and premature senescence in wild-type but not caveolin-1 null mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). Either down-regulation of Sirt1 expression or re-expression of caveolin-1 in caveolin-1 null MEFs restores reactive oxygen species-induced acetylation of p53 and premature senescence. In addition, overexpression of caveolin-1 induces stress induced premature senescence in p53 wild-type but not p53 knockout MEFs. Phosphorylation of caveolin-1 on tyrosine 14 promotes the sequestration of Sirt1 into caveolar membranes and activates p53/senescence signaling. We also identified IL-6 as a caveolin-1-specific cytokine that is secreted by senescent fibroblasts following the caveolin-1-mediated inhibition of Sirt1. The caveolin-1-mediated secretion of IL-6 by senescent fibroblasts stimulates the growth of cancer cells. Therefore, by inhibiting Sirt1, caveolin-1 links free radicals to the activation of the p53/senescence pathway and the protumorigenic properties of IL-6. 相似文献

Recovery of transgenic orchid plants with hygromycin selection by particle bombardment to protocorms 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

Protocorms of orchid (Dendrobium hybrid) were transformed by microprojectile bombardment with a helium-pressured PDS 1000 particle gun. Gold particles coated with plasmid DNA containing ß-glucuronidase (GUS) and hygromycin phosphotransferase (Hpt) marker genes were used. Potentially transformed tissues were identified by active growth on MS medium supplemented with 50mg l-1 hygromycin. After 4–6 months of continuous selection, 15 hygromycin-resistant lines were recovered. Integration of transgenes into the genome of the transformed protocorms and plantlets were confirmed by GUS histochemical assay and Southern blot hybridization. The transgenic protocorms have gone through propagation for more than 8 months and maintained their transgenic characters. These results indicate that we have established a system for orchid transformation in a relatively high frequency and the transgenes are stably expressed in the transgenic plants. 相似文献
