Nosema ceranae, a newly emergent parasite invading western honey bees (Apis mellifera L.), is indicated to threaten honey bee health at both individual and colony levels. However, the efficient and environmentally-friendly treatments are quite limited at present. To find alternative medicine to control Nosema diseases, the effect of 8 types of herbal extracts against N. ceranae infection were screened under laboratory condition. Of which, 1% Andrographis paniculata (A. paniculata) decoction was found to significantly decrease N. ceranae spore numbers on 7 days post infection (dpi) and 13 dpi. Then, our results further revealed that A. paniculata decoction at doses ranging from 1% to 7% displayed significant efficient inhibition of Nosema spore proliferation and improved the infected bees' survival rates in a dose-dependent manner. A. paniculata decoction was found to protect the gut tissues of infected workers from damage cause by N. ceranae, which might be due to the regulation of the expression of certain genes in Wnt and JNK pathways, including armadillo, basket, frizzled2 and groucho. Additionally, our study suggested that A. paniculata decoction performed this Nosema spore-reducing potential over its two monomers, andrographolide and dehydrographolide. Taken together, this work enables us to better understand A. paniculata decoction's potential to inhibit N. ceranae infection, thus providing a new guidance for developing applicable drugs to control Nosema diseases. 相似文献

We cloned a new glycoside hydrolase family 6 gene, Hicel6C, from the thermophilic fungus Humicola insolens Y1 and expressed it in Pichia pastoris. Using barley β-glucan as a substrate, recombinant HiCel6C protein exhibited neutral pH (6.5) and high temperature (70°C) optima. Distinct from most reported acidic fungal endo-β-1,4-glucanases, HiCel6C was alkali-tolerant, retaining greater than 98.0, 61.2, and 27.6% of peak activity at pH 8.0, 9.0, and 10.0, respectively, and exhibited good stability over a wide pH range (pH 5.0−11.0) and at temperatures up to 60°C. The K
m and V
max values of HiCel6C for barley β-glucan were 1.29 mg/mL and 752 μmol/min·mg, respectively. HiCel6C was strictly specific for the β-1,4-glucoside linkage exhibiting activity toward barley β-glucan, lichenan, and carboxy methylcellulose sodium salt (CMC-Na), but not toward laminarin (1,3-β-glucan). HiCel6C cleaved the internal glycosidic linkages of cellooligosaccharides randomly and thus represents an endo-cleaving enzyme. The predominant product of polysaccharide hydrolysis by HiCel6C was cellobiose, suggesting that it functions by an endo-processive mechanism. The favorable properties of HiCel6C make it a good candidate for basic research and for applications in the textile and brewing industries. 相似文献

A xylanase gene, xynA4-2, was obtained from the genome sequence of thermoacidophilic Alicyclobacillus sp. A4 and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). xynA4-2 encodes a mature protein of 411 residues with a calculated molecular weight of 46.8 kDa. Based on the amino acid sequence
similarities (highest identity of 61%), the enzyme was confined into glycoside hydrolase family 10. The purified recombinant
XynA4-2 exhibited maximum activity at pH 6.2 and 55°C. The enzyme was stable over a broad pH range, retaining more than 90%
of the original activity at pH 5.8–12.0, 37°C for 1 h. The substrate specificity of XynA4-2 was relatively narrow, exhibiting
100, 93, and 35% of the relative activity towards birchwood xylan, oat spelt xylan, and wheat arabinoxylan, respectively.
Supplementation of XynA4-2 to mash caused the reduction of mash filtration rate (5.6%) and viscosity (4.0%). When combined
with the commercial glucanase from Sunson, higher reduction was detected in the filtration rate (12.0%) and viscosity (17.2%).
These favorable properties make XynA4-2 a good candidate in the brewing industry. 相似文献

A novel class of cysteine phytase showing ability to degrade phytate has recently been isolated from rumen bacteria. To expand our knowledge of this enzyme class, a total of 101 distinct cysteine phytase gene fragments were identified from the ruminal genomic DNA of Bore goats and Holstein cows, and most of them shared low identities (< 50%) with known sequences. By phylogenetic analysis, these sequences were separated into three clusters that showed substantial diversity. The two most abundant cysteine phytase genes of goat rumens were cloned and their protein products were characterized. Four findings were revealed based on our results. (i) Compared with soil and water environment, where β‐propeller phytase is the most important phytate‐degrading enzyme, cysteine phytase is the major phytate‐degrading enzyme in the anaerobic ruminal environment. (ii) Cysteine phytase fragments in the rumen contents of goat and cow have the same diversity profile, although most of the sequences and their abundance differ in the two species. (iii) Each species has their respective high‐abundance genes, which may play major roles for phytate degradation. (iv) Compared with previously reported cysteine phytases that have pH optimum at 4.5, the pH optima of the two most abundant secreted goat cysteine phytases are 6.5 and 6.0, which are within the pH range found in the rumens. This study provides valuable information about the diversity, abundance and enzymatic properties of the ruminal cysteine phytases and emphasizes the important role(s) of these cysteine phytases probably in the terrestrial cycle of phosphorus. 相似文献

The glucose oxidase (GOD) gene from Penicillium notatum was expressed in Pichia pastoris. The 1,815 bp gene, god-w, encodes 604 amino acids. Recombinant GOD-w had optimal activity at 35–40°C and pH 6.2 and was stable, from pH 3 to 7 maintaining >75%
maximum activity after incubation at 50°C for 1 h. GOD-w worked as well as commercial GODs to improve bread making. To achieve
high-level expression of recombinant GOD in P. pastoris, 272 nucleotides involving 228 residues were mutated, consistent with the codon bias of P. pastoris. The optimized recombinant GOD-m yielded 615 U ml−1 (2.5 g protein l−1) in a 3 l fermentor—410% higher than GOD-w (148 U ml−1), and thus is a low-cost alternative for the bread baking industry. 相似文献

A novel endo-1,3(4)-β-D-glucanase gene (bgl16C1) from Penicillium pinophilum C1 was cloned and sequenced. The 945-bp full-length gene encoded a 315-residue polypeptide consisting of a putative signal peptide of 18 residues and a catalytic domain belonging to glycosyl hydrolase family 16. The deduced amino acid sequence showed the highest identity (82%) with the putative endo-1,3(4)-β-glucanase from Talaromyces stipitatus ATCC 10500 and 60% identity with the characterized β-1,3(4)-glucanase from Paecilomyces sp. FLH30. The gene was successfully overexpressed in Pichia pastoris. Recombinant Bgl16C1 constituted 95% of total secreted proteins (2.61 g l?1) with activity of 28,721 U ml?1 in a 15-l fermentor. The purified recombinant Bgl16C1 had higher specific activity toward barley β-glucan (12,622 U mg?1) than all known glucanases and also showed activity against lichenan and laminarin. The enzyme was optimally active at pH 5.0 and 55°C and exhibited good stability over a broad acid and alkaline pH range (>85% activity at pH 3.0-7.0 and even 30% at pH 11.0). All these favorable enzymatic properties make it attractive for potential applications in various industries. 相似文献

The central complex of Drosophila melanogaster plays important functions in various behaviors, such as visual and olfactory memory, visual orientation, sleep, and movement control. However little is known about the genes regulating the development of the central complex. Here we report that a mutant gene affecting central complex morphology, cbd (central brain defect), was mapped to ten-a, a type II trans-membrane protein coding gene. Down-regulation of ten-a in pan-neural cells contributed to abnormal morphology of central complex. Over-expression of ten-a by C767-Gal4 was able to partially restore the abnormal central complex morphology in the cbd mutant. Tracking the development of FB primordia revealed that C767-Gal4 labeled interhemispheric junction that separated fan-shaped body precursors at larval stage withdrew to allow the fusion of the precursors. While the C767-Gal4 labeled structure did not withdraw properly and detached from FB primordia, the two fan-shaped body precursors failed to fuse in the cbd mutant. We propose that the withdrawal of C767-Gal4 labeled structure is related to the formation of the fan-shaped body. Our result revealed the function of ten-a in central brain development, and possible cellular mechanism underlying Drosophila fan-shaped body formation. 相似文献

Using degenerate polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and thermal asymmetric interlaced PCR, a 1,347-bp full-length complementary
DNA fragment encompassing the gene man5A, which encodes a 429-amino acid β-mannanase with a calculated mass of 46.8 kDa, was cloned from acidophilic Bispora sp. MEY-1. The deduced amino acid sequence (catalytic domain) displayed highest identity (54.1%) with the Emericella nidulans endo-β-1,4-d-mannanase, a member of the glycoside hydrolase family 5. Recombinant MAN5A was overexpressed in Pichia pastoris, and its activity in the culture medium reached 500 U ml−1. The enzyme was acidophilic, with highest activity at pH 1.0–1.5, lower than any known mannanases, and optimal temperature
for activity was 65°C. MAN5A had good pH adaptability, excellent thermal and pH stability, and high resistance to both pepsin
and trypsin. The specific activity, K
m, and V
max for locust bean gum substrate was 3,373 U mg−1, 1.56 mg ml−1, and 6,587.6 μmol min−1 mg−1, respectively. The enzymatic activity was not significantly affected by ions such as Ca2+, Cr3+, Co2+, Zn2+, Na+, K+, and Mg2+ and enhanced by Ni2+, Fe3+, Mn2+ and Ag+. These favorable properties make MAN5A a potential candidate for use in various industrial applications. 相似文献

We have identified a highly pH-adaptable and stable xylanase (XynA4) from the thermoacidophilic Alicyclobacillus sp. A4, a strain that was isolated from a hot spring in Yunnan Province, China. The gene (xynA4) that encodes this xylanase was cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli. It encodes a 338-residue polypeptide with a calculated molecular mass of 42.5 kDa. The deduced amino acid sequence is most
similar to (53% identity) an endo-1,4-β-xylanase from Geobacillus stearothermophilus that belongs to family 10 of the glycoside hydrolases. Purified recombinant XynA4 exhibited maximum activity at 55°C and
pH 7.0, had broad pH adaptability (>40% activity at pH 3.8–9.4) and stability (retaining >80% activity after incubation at
pH 2.6–12.0 for 1 h at 37°C), and was highly thermostable (retaining >90% activity after incubation at 60°C for 1 h at pH
7.0). These properties make XynA4 promising for application in the paper industry. This is the first report that describes
cloning and expression of a xylanase gene from the genus Alicyclobacillus. 相似文献

An esterase-encoding gene, estR5, was directly obtained from the genomic DNA of goat rumen contents. The 555-bp full-length gene encodes a 184-residue polypeptide
(EstR5) without putative signal peptide. Deduced EstR5 shared the highest identity (50%) to a putative arylesterase from Ruminococcaceae bacterium D16. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that EstR5 was closely related with microbial esterases of gastrointestinal source.
A comparison of the conserved motifs shared with GDSL proteins revealed that EstR5 could be grouped into the GDSL family and
was further classified into the subfamily of SGNH hydrolases. The gene estR5 was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) and purified to electrophoretic homogeneity. Recombinant EstR5 exhibited highest catalytic efficiency towards α-naphthyl
acetate followed by phenyl acetate and p-nitrophenyl acetate and had no activity towards PNP esters with acyl chains longer than C8. The enzyme exhibited optimal
activity at around 60°C and pH 8.0, was stable at pH ranging from 6.0 to 11.0 and was slightly activated by detergent Tween,
Nonidet P-40, and Triton X-100. These properties suggest that EstR5 has great potential for basic research and industrial
applications. To our knowledge, this is the first arylesterase obtained from rumen microenvironment. 相似文献
