Abstract: | Theaa3-type cytochromecoxidase ofRhodobacter sphaeroideshas been overexpressed up to seven fold over that in wild-type strains by engineering a multicopy plasmid with all the required oxidase genes and by establishing optimum growth conditions. The two operons containing the three structural genes and two assembly genes for cytochromecoxidase were ligated into a pUC19 vector and reintroduced into several oxidase-deletedR. sphaeroidesstrains. Under conditions of relatively high pH and maximal aeration, high levels of expression were observed. A smaller expression vector, pBBR1MCS, and a fructose promoter (fruP)5were found not to enhance cytochromecoxidase expression inR. sphaeroides.An improved cytochromecoxidase purification protocol is reported, which combines histidine elution from a nickel affinity column and anion-exchange chromatography, and results in a higher yield and purity than previously obtained. |
