Abstract:This study is the first to demonstrate cloning of alr0882, a hypothetical protein gene of Anabaena PCC7120, its heterologous expression in Escherichia coli strain LN29MG1655 (?uspA::Kan) and functional complementation of abiotic stress tolerance of E. coli UspA. The recombinant vector pGEX-5X-2-alr0882 was used to transform ?uspA E. coli strain. The IPTG induced expression of a 56.6 kDa GST fusion protein was visualized on SDS–PAGE and attested by immunoblotting. E. coli ?uspA strain harboring pGEX-5X-2-alr0882 when grown under carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur limitation and abiotic stresses e.g. nalidixic acid, cycloserine, CdCl2, H2O2, UV-B, phenazine methosulphate (PMS), dinitrophenol (DNP), NaCl, heat, carbofuron and CuCl2 demonstrated about 22.6–51.6% increase in growth over the cells transformed with empty vector. Expression of alr0882 gene in mutant E. coli as measured by semi-quantitative RT-PCR at different time points under selected treatments reaffirmed its role in tolerance against stresses employed in this study. Thus the results of this study vividly demonstrated that the novel protein alr0882, although appreciably different from the known UspA of E. coli, offers tolerance to abiotic stresses hence holds potential for the development of transgenic cyanobacteria.
