Transformation of Kluyveromyces lactis with the kanamycin (G418) resistance gene of Tn903 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Direct selection of Kluyveromyces lactis resistant to the antibiotic G418 following transformation with the kanamycin resistance gene of Tn903 required the development of a procedure for producing high yields of viable spheroplasts and for the isolation of autonomous replication sequences (ARS). To obtain high yields of viable spheroplasts, cells were treated with (1) a thiol-reducing agent (L-cysteine), and (2) a high concentration of an osmotic stabilizer, 1.5 M sorbitol. Several ARS-containing plasmids were selected from a K. lactis recombinant DNA library in K. lactis and in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Two of four ARS clones selected in K. lactis promoted transformation frequencies of 5-10 X 10(2) G418-resistant cells/micrograms of plasmid DNA. This frequency of transformation was at least twice as high as with ARS clones selected in S. cerevisiae. The stability of ARS-containing plasmids varied; after 20 generations of growth in the presence of G418, 16-38% of the cells remained resistant to the drug. In the absence of selection pressure less than 5% of the cells retained the drug-resistance phenotype. Plasmids containing the ARS1 or 2 mu replicon of S. cerevisiae failed to transform K. lactis for G418 resistance. Inclusion of S. cerevisiae centromere, CEN4, in a K. lactis ARS recombinant plasmid did not increase the stability of the plasmid in K. lactis, and marker genes on the vector segregated predominantly 4-:0+ through meiosis. We conclude that neither the ARS sequences or the centromere of S. cerevisiae was functioning in K. lactis. 相似文献

Excised shoot tips of Cuscuta reflexa Roxb. (dodder), a rootless and leafless angiospermic plant parasite, were cultured in vitro for the study of the control of lateral bud development by the apex. In a chemically defined medium lacking hormones, the basal bud alone developed into a shoot. The addition of coconut milk to the growth medium induced the activation of multiple lateral buds, but only a single bud developed further into a shoot. The decapitation of this shoot induced the development of another shoot and the process could be repeated. This showed the controlling effect of the apex in correlative control of bud development. Application of indole-3-acetic acid to the shoot tip explant delayed the development of the lateral bud. Gibberellic acid A3 induced a marked elongation growth of the explant and reinforced apical dominance. The direct application of cytokinin to an inhibited bud relieved it from apical dominance. A basipetally decreasing concentration gradient of auxin may prevail at the nodes. Bud outgrowth is probably stimulated by cytokinin produced locally in the bud. 相似文献

The method for the purification of goat serum retinol-binding protein consists of DEAE-cellulose chromatography of the serum followed by preparative polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis. After electrophoresis, the retinol-binding protein containing zone is identified by the specific fluorescence of retinol. For raising the antibodies, the portion of the gel containing retinol binding protein is homogenized and injected intradermally and intramuscularly to rabbits. The availability of this simple method for the isolation of retinol-binding protein and production of its antibodies enables the development of a radioimmunoassay for this protein. 相似文献

Ghilantens are a family of cysteine-rich inhibitors of the clotting enzyme, factor Xa, that are produced in the salivary glands of the South American leechHaementeria ghilianii.In this study, a gene, designed from the amino acid sequence of a specific ghilanten isoform, was assembled from eight double-stranded oligonucleotide fragments. A yeast expression plasmid, pPIC9HG-2, was constructed by making an in-frame fusion of the ghilanten-coding sequences with the region encoding the pre-pro α-mating factor signal sequence for secretion. The expression of ghilanten in pPIC9HG-2 was under the control of the methanol-inducible, alcohol oxidase (AOX1) promoter.Pichia pastorisyeast strains KM 71 and SMD 1168 were transformed with linearized pPIC9HG-2 to target integration of the plasmid to the chromosomal 5′-AOX1locus via homologous recombination. Both strains yielded His+transformants that secreted a potent anticoagulant activity into the medium. Product yield was improved by using buffered media (pH 6.0) supplemented with either casamino acids or a mixture of yeast extract and peptone. The protease-deficient strain, SMD 1168, secreted about a twofold higher level ofr-ghilanten than KM 71. Significant clonal variation in the expression ofr-ghilanten was found among the His+transformants. A high producing clone was selected for production at the 2-liter shake flask and 10-liter bioreactor scales.r-Ghilanten was recovered from the fermentation broths in a single step by heparin Sepharose affinity chromatography. Protein sequence analysis of the amino terminus showed that the correct processing to yield mature ghilanten varied with the fermentation conditions. 相似文献

A simple and efficient procedure for the purification of the riboflavin-binding protein from hen's egg yolk is described. This method involves the removal by exclusion of lipoproteins and subsequent fractionation of soluble yolk proteins held on a DEAE-cellulose column by a salt gradient which is followed by purification by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. The protein thus isolated is homogeneous by various physicoehemical, immunological, and functional criteria. 相似文献

Invertase gene (SUC2) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a dominant marker for transformation of Pichia pastoris 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A two-step method for the selection of transformants of prototrophic industrial strains of the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris has been developed. This method is based on our observation that P. pastoris cannot use sucrose as the sole carbon source (Suc-) and that introduction of the invertase gene (SUC2) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae renders P. pastoris Suc+. P. pastoris was transformed with a plasmid which contains the SUC2 gene of S. cerevisiae and an autonomously replicating sequence PARS1 from P. pastoris. The transformants were initially allowed to regenerate on medium containing dextrose and the regenerated cells were pooled and plated on sucrose medium to screen for Suc+ transformants. It was shown that the Suc+ transformants of P. pastoris with the autonomously replicating plasmid were highly unstable with respect to the plasmid maintenance, even when grown on sucrose as the sole carbon and energy source. This high instability was attributed to an efficient cross-feeding by Suc- segregants on glucose and fructose generated due to hydrolysis of sucrose by the invertase enzyme secreted by Suc+ cells. Spontaneous integration of the plasmid DNA resulting in a stable Suc+ phenotype was also observed. However, stable Suc+ transformants were obtained more readily by integration of SUC2 into P. pastoris genome following transformation with a linearized plasmid with the ends homologous to P. pastoris HIS4 locus. All such integrants were completely stable for Suc+ phenotype after 20 generations of growth in a nonselective medium. 相似文献

The interaction of stearoyl-(1,N6)-etheno coenzyme A (stearoyl-epsilon-CoA) with acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase was investigated by using fluorescence spectroscopy. The fluorescence emission of stearoyl-epsilon-CoA was partially quenched by acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase. Analysis of the data for dissociation constant (KD) and the stoichiometry of the interaction (n) gave values of 5.06 nM and 1.2, respectively, at pH 7.6 in 50 mM Tris-HCl and 25 degrees C. The KD value is comparable to the inhibition constant (Ki) obtained previously by others for the inhibition of rat liver acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase by long chain fatty acyl-CoAs. Citrate (which is known to polymerize and thus activate carboxylase) caused a partial quenching of the protein fluorescence of carboxylase, presumably due to polymerization of the enzyme. The quenching of the stearoyl-epsilon-CoA fluorescence caused by carboxylase as well as the inhibition of carboxylase activity by stearoyl-epsilon-CoA was reversed by citrate, but only in the presence of 6-O-methylglucose polysaccharide which forms a stable complex with fatty acyl-CoA. This shows that the stearoyl-epsilon-CoA bound to the enzyme is displaced by citrate only in the presence of an acceptor of fatty acyl-CoA. These results support the reciprocal relationship of citrate and fatty acyl-CoA in the regulation of acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase. 相似文献

A modified method for amino acid analysis with ninhydrin of Coomassie-stained proteins from polyacrylamide gels 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Triton X-100 (from three different suppliers) and Brij 35, substituted ethers of polyoxyethylene alcohols, were found to contain variable amounts of powerful oxidizing impurities representing a range of 0.04-0.22% H2O2 equivalents. These detergents contain also a considerable quantity of carbonyl compounds (0.5-2%) originating from carboxylic acids and ketones or aldehydes. Tween 20, also a polyoxyethylene detergent, and sodium dodecyl sulfate were free from oxidizing contamination. Aqueous solutions of Triton X-100 and Brij 35 (1–4%) reacted readily with SH groups of protein and nonprotein molecules as well as with Fe2+ ion. Both detergents were purified from the oxidizing impurities by treating aqueous solution of detergent with either NaHSO3 or SnCl2 followed by an extraction procedure. The present findings may clarify as well as complicate the interpretation of previous studies where these detergents were used for biological purposes, especially in enzyme and protein purifications, or when present in assay procedures that are based on the formation or consumption of reducing reagents. 相似文献
