The estA gene encoding the enzyme that catalyzes the production of (R)-β-acetylmercaptoisobutyric acid from (R,S)-ester from Pseudomonas aeruginosa 1001, was cloned in Escherichia coli and its nucleotide sequence was determined, revealing the presumed open reading frame encoding a polypeptide of 316 amino acid residues (948 nucleotides). The overall A+T and C+G compositions were 32.59% and 67.41%, respectively. The amino acid sequence of the estA gene product showed a significant similarity with that of the triacylglycerol lipase from Psychrobacter immobilis (38% identity), triacylglycerol lipase from Moraxella sp. (36% identity), and two forms of carboxyl esterases from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus (17% and 17% identities). The deduced amino acid sequences have a pentapeptide consensus sequence, G-X-S-X-G, having an active serine residue, and another active site, dipeptides H-G, located at 70–100 amino acids upstream of the G-X-S-X-G consensus sequence. 相似文献

The lipase-encoding Arxula adeninivorans ALIP1 gene was isolated using fragments of lipase isolates obtained by trypsin digestion for the definition of oligonucleotide primers in a PCR screening approach. The gene harbours an ORF of 1347 bp encoding a 420 amino acid protein of some 50 kDa preceded by an N-terminal 28 prepro-secretion sequence. The deduced amino acid sequence was found to be similar to the lipases from Candida albicans and C. parapsilosis (34-38% identity) and more distantly related to other lipases. The sequence contains the consensus pentapeptide motif (-Gly-X-Ser-X-Gly-) that forms a part of the interfacial lipid recognition site in lipases. The expression of the gene is regulated by carbon source. In media supplemented with Tween 20, induction of the ALIP1 gene and accumulation of the encoded lipase in the medium is observed, thus demonstrating gene regulation by lipophilic compounds. The enzyme characteristics are analysed from isolates of native strains as well as from those of recombinant strains expressing the ALIP1 gene under control of the strong A. adeninivorans-derived TEF1 promoter. For both proteins a molecular mass of 100 kDa was determined, indicating a dimeric structure, a pH optimum at pH 7.5 and a temperature optimum at 30 degrees C. The enzyme hydrolyses all ester bonds in all triglyceride substrates tested. Middle-sized chain fatty acids are more efficiently hydrolysed than short- and long-chain fatty acids, with the highest activity on C8/C10 fatty acid esters pNP-caprylate, pNP-caprate and tricaprylin. 相似文献

The N-acetylmuramidase SR1 gene from Streptomyces rutgersensis H-46 was cloned in Escherichia coli JM109 and expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3)pLysS. An open reading frame included the leader peptide region encoding a polypeptide of 65 amino acid residues and the mature SR1 enzyme region encoding a polypeptide of 209 amino acid residues. The overall G + C content of the mature enzyme gene was 67.6%, with 98.1% of G or C in the third position of the codons. The calculated molecular weight of the mature enzyme was 23,057 Da. The amino acid sequence of the mature enzyme showed a significant level of identity with bacteriolytic enzymes from Streptomyces globisporus (50.9% identity), Chalaropsis species (40.2% identity) and Saccharopolyspora erythraea (31.0% identity). The mature enzyme gene cloned into plasmid pET26b carrying a signal peptide, peIB, was expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3)pLysS. The signal peptide region was cleaved during the production of the enzyme. Specific activity of the enzyme purified from the transformant was almost identical to that of the native enzyme. Furthermore, the SR1 enzyme gene cloned with the leader peptide gene into plasmid pET28a was also expressed in E. coli. In this case, a proform-like protein was partially processed; 35 amino acid residues were cleaved but 30 amino acid residues remained. This proform like protein has approximately one-nineteenth the activity of the native enzyme. These results indicated that the native SR1 enzyme was produced in the following manner in the cells of S. rutgersensis H-46. The SR1 enzyme gene was translated to a pre-proform protein followed by the deletion of a signal peptide. Finally, the proform-like protein was processed by deletion of the remaining leader peptide. 相似文献

A cDNA library containing a chitin deacetylase (CDA) gene from a zygomycete Gongronella butleri was constructed and the complete gene was sequenced. The complete gene contains an open reading frame of 1290 nucleotides which encodes a sequence of 430 amino acid residues. The gene sequence consists of nucleotides encoding a polysaccharide deacetylase domain located in the middle, covering 34% of the entire sequence. This domain shares high sequence similarities with CDAs of fungi and other deacetylases including the nodb-like protein from Sinorhizobium meliloti and Bacillus subtilis, xylanase D from Cellulomonas fimi, and acetylxylan esterase A from Streptomyces lividans. The deduced amino acid sequence shows homology with CDAs from Mucor rouxii (48% identity) and Phycomyces blakesleeanus (30% identity). Phylogenetic analysis reveals that CDAs are clustered in accordance with the taxonomic classification of the fungi. 相似文献

A gene encoding deacetylase DA1 that is specific for N, N'-diacetylchitobiose was cloned using the shot-gun method with pUC118 and sequenced. The open reading frame encoded a protein of 427 amino acids including the signal peptide. The molecular mass of the mature enzyme estimated from the amino acid sequence data was 44.7 kDa, which is approximately similar to that, estimated by SDS-PAGE (48.0 kDa), of the purified enzyme reported previously. The N-terminal amino acid sequence deduced from the cloned deacetylase gene showed partial sequence homology with the Nod B protein from Rhizobium sp. (37% identity) and chitin deacetylase from Mucor rouxii (28%). It contained a domain, which showed homology with a chitin-binding domain of chitinase A from Bacillus circulans (39%). 相似文献

The tannase‐encoding Arxula adeninivorans gene ATAN1 was isolated from genomic DNA by PCR, using as primers oligonucleotide sequences derived from peptides obtained after tryptic digestion of the purified tannase protein. The gene harbours an ORF of 1764 bp, encoding a 587‐amino acid protein, preceded by an N‐terminal secretion sequence comprising 28 residues. The deduced amino acid sequence was similar to those of tannases from Aspergillus oryzae (50% identity), A. niger (48%) and putative tannases from A. fumigatus (52%) and A. nidulans (50%). The sequence contains the consensus pentapeptide motif (–Gly–X–Ser–X–Gly–) which forms part of the catalytic centre of serine hydrolases. Expression of ATAN1 is regulated by the carbon source. Supplementation with tannic acid or gallic acid leads to induction of ATAN1, and accumulation of the native tannase enzyme in the medium. The enzymes recovered from both wild‐type and recombinant strains were essentially indistinguishable. A molecular mass of ~320 kDa was determined, indicating that the native, glycosylated tannase consists of four identical subunits. The enzyme has a temperature optimum at 35–40 °C and a pH optimum at ~6.0. The enzyme is able to remove gallic acid from both condensed and hydrolysable tannins. The wild‐type strain LS3 secreted amounts of tannase equivalent to 100 U/l under inducing conditions, while the transformant strain, which overexpresses the ATAN1 gene from the strong, constitutively active A. adeninivorans TEF1 promoter, produced levels of up to 400 U/l when grown in glucose medium in shake flasks.

A gene from Vibrio alginolyticus H-8, encoding chitinase, designated as chitinase B, was cloned by the shot-gun method using pUC118 and sequenced. The open reading frame consisted of 846 amino acids including a signal peptide. The molecular mass of the enzyme estimated based on the amino acid sequence data was 90 kDa. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme was different from that of chitinase C1 which we had previously reported. This cloned chitinase B was considered one out of four chitinases (A, B, D, and E) which had been newly isolated from the culture broth and cell extract of V. alginolyticus H-8. The gene contained a chitin-binding domain and typical conserved regions of chitinases reported previously. The deduced amino acid sequence of the cloned chitinase B showed high sequence homology with the chitinase from V. parahaemolyticus (84% identity) and the chitinase from V. anguillarum (76.6%), but low sequence homology with the chitinase from V. harveyi (24.4%), and the chitodextrinase from V. furnissii (23.9%). Chitinase E found in cell extract is considered an intracellular chitinase which is different from chitodextrinases. 相似文献

The Pichia pastoris TRP1 and HIS3 genes were cloned by complementation of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae trp1 and his3 mutants, respectively, and their nucleotide sequence was determined. The P. pastoris TRP1 gene includes an open reading frame (ORF) of 714 nucleotides corresponding to a polypeptide of 237 amino acids whose sequence shares about 40% identity with that of TRP1 encoding proteins in other yeast species. DNA sequencing showed that an ORF of 858 nucleotides, encoding a protein of 285 amino acids with high homology to inorganic pyrophosphatases (IPP1), is located downstream of the P. pastoris TRP1 gene. Both genes converge in this chromosomal region, showing a genetic organization analogous to that found in the Kluyveromyces lactis genome. The P. pastoris HIS3 gene possesses an ORF of 675 nucleotides, encoding a polypeptide of 224 amino acids which shows 74·1% identity to the homologous S. cerevisiae protein. The hexameric consensus GCN4 binding sequence (TGACTC), characteristic of many amino acid biosynthetic genes, is present in the promoter region. The TRP1 and IPP1 sequences were deposited in the EMBL databank under Accession Number AJ001000. The Accession Number of the HIS3 gene is U69170. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

In a screen for the protein kinase genes of the human pathogenic yeast Candida albicans, a putative homologue (CaPHO85) of PHO85, a negative regulator of the PHO system of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is one of the cyclin-dependent protein kinases (CDKs), was isolated. An open reading frame (ORF) of this gene was identified encoding a predicted protein of 326 amino acids with a calculated molecular weight of 37.6 kDa. The amino acid sequence is highly homologous to S. cerevisiae Pho85 (62% identity) and its Aspergillus nidulans homologue (70% identity), but less homologous to Cdc28 (50% identity) of S. cerevisiae and to its C. albicans homologue CaCdc28 (49% identity), both of which are also CDK. The coding region for the C. albicans gene was interrupted by an intron of 81 nucleotides near the sequence encoding the N-terminal region, similarly to the case of the S. cerevisiae PHO85 gene. Alignment of CaPho85 with various yeast CDKs revealed that most of the domains for ATP-binding and protein kinase activity are conserved among fungal species. Southern blot analysis indicated that CaPHO85 is most likely present as a single copy gene. This gene complemented the pho85 mutation of S. cerevisiae by transformation. 相似文献

Considering the known N-terminal amino acid sequence of the major apple allergen, a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primer was selected to amplify cDNA encoding this protein. A single PCR product was obtained, cloned into Escherichia coli and subsequently sequenced. The missing 5′-end of the apple cDNA sequence was obtained by a 5′-RACE method. The cDNA sequence showed 72% identity with the coding region of one of the known isoforms of Bet v 1, the major allergen of birch pollen. The deduced amino acid sequence resulted in a 158-residue protein with a calculated molecular mass of 17·5 kDa and 63% amino acid sequence identity to Bet v 1. In addition, further protein alignments showed a high degree of identity with allergens from other tree pollens and some ‘pathogenesis-related proteins’ from food plants. According to international regulations the allergen was termed Mal d 1 for this protein, it being the first major allergen discovered and characterised in fruits of apple (Malus domestica). 相似文献

A genomic clone encoding the Paracoccidioides brasiliensis orotidine monophosphate decarboxylase gene (PbrURA3) was isolated by screening a subgenomic plasmid DNA library of this fungus, using a PCR amplification product of the gene as a probe. Sequence analysis revealed that the gene contains an open reading frame of 855 bp with a single intron (162 bp), and encodes a putative 285 amino acids polypeptide of estimated molecular weight 31.1 kDa and isoelectric point 6.5. The deduced amino acid sequence predicted a 73.4% identity with orotidine monophosphate decarboxylase of Aspergillus nidulans. Functionality of the gene was demonstrated by transformation into a Saccharomyces cerevisiae ura3 null mutant. 相似文献

A gene coding for an esterase (SshEstI, 915 bp in length) of the thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfolobus shibatae DSM5389 was cloned, sequenced, and overexpressed in Escherichia coli JM109 cells as a soluble, catalytically active protein. The deduced amino acid sequence of SshEstI was consistent with a protein containing 305 amino acid residues with a molecular mass of 33 kDa. Sequence comparison studies indicated that SshEstI could be a member of the hormone-sensitive lipase family, in that it had the highest sequence similarity to esterases from Sulfolobus solfataricus (90% identity) and Archaeoglobus fulgidus (42%) and a lipase from Pseudomonas sp. B11-1 (38%). The recombinant enzyme was highly thermostable and retained more than 70% of its initial activity after incubation at 90 degrees C and pH 7.0 for 30 min. The recombinant enzyme catalyzed the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl (p-NP) esters with C2-C16 acyl chains but not the hydrolysis of triacylglycerides such as tributyrin and triolein. The enzymatic hydrolysis of p-NP acetate proceeded in a linear manner with time, whereas that of p-NP esters with acyl chains of C5 or longer showed a biphasic profile, where a rapid release of p-nitrophenol ( approximately 3 min) was followed by a slow, sustained release. These non-linear kinetics may be explained in terms of a very slow, presteady-state burst phenomenon of p-nitrophenol release or a hysteretic behavior of SshEstI with these substrates. 相似文献

Optically active alcohol is an important building block as a versatile chiral synthon for the asymmetric synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. We purified and characterized glycerol dehydrogenase from Hansenula ofunaensis and prepared optically active 1,2-octanediol using a recombinant Escherichia coli harboring the glycerol dehydrogenase gene. The deduced amino acid sequence was investigated for identities with those of other alcohol dehydrogenases in the NCBI databank. The identification of the unknown product of a resting-cell reaction was performed by GC-MS. In the deduced amino acid sequence composed of 376 residues, the NAD(H) binding pattern and cysteine residues that correspond to the cysteine ligands at the zinc atom were conserved as they are in alcohol dehydrogenases from other origins. Glycerol dehydrogenase from Hansenula polymorpha DL-1 (Pichia angusta, DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank accession no. BAD32688) had the highest identity to our enzyme, showing 73% identity. Our glycerol dehydrogenase catalyzed the NAD(+)-dependent oxidation of long-chain secondary alcohols such as 1,2-pentanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, 1,2-heptanediol, and 1,2-octanediol. Activities toward 2,4-pentanediol and 2,5-hexanediol were hardly detected. From these results, it was confirmed that our enzyme requires two hydroxyl groups on adjacent carbon atoms for oxidation. 2,3-Pentanedione, 2,3-hexanedione, and 3,4-hexanedione were significantly reduced. The transformants oxidized only (R)-1,2-octanediol in 50 mM racemate (R:S=52:48), and produced (S)-1,2-octanediol (24 mM, <99.9% e.e.) after 24 h of incubation. The reaction product was suggested to be 1-hydroxy-2-octanone by GC-MS, which showed secondary hydroxyl groups oxidized. Glycerol dehydrogenase from H. ofunaensis could be useful for the production of long-chain optically active secondary alcohols. 相似文献

Penicillium herquei IFO 4674 is a filamentous fungus that produces a large amount of hydrolases for fibrous polysaccharides. We purified two beta-xylosidases, S1 and S2. The molecular masses of S1 and S2 determined by MALDI-TOF-MS were 103,700 and 37,460 Da. The optimum pHs of S1 and S2 were 4.0 and 6.5, respectively. By several kinds of alcohols, especially glycerol, S1 was activated while S2 was unaffected or inhibited. S1 had a transxylosylation activity, while S2 did not. The s2 gene encoding xylosidase S2 was cloned by PCR with primers designed on the basis of partial amino acid sequences of S2. The s2 consisted of 1005 by encoding 335 amino acids (37,433 Da) and had no secretion signal sequence. The deduced amino acid sequence shows a high identity to that of Bacteroides ovatus xylosidase/arabinosidase (56%), which is a member of the family 43 glycoside hydrolase. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequence of the URA3 gene encoding orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase (OMP DCase) of the human opportunistic pathogen yeast Candida lusitaniae was determined by degenerate PCR and chromosome walking. Deduced amino acid sequence showed strong homologies (59-85% identity) with OMP DCases of different Saccharomycetales and allowed identification of the known conserved domains. Very close upstream from the URA3 gene, the 3'-end of a gene encoding a Gea2-like protein was identified. A non-revertible C. lusitaniae ura3 mutant was selected on the basis of 5-fluoroorotic acid resistance. The mutation was a single point mutation resulting in the amino acid substitution D95V in a highly conserved domain, and in a concomitant EcoRV restriction site polymorphism. The mutant strain was successfully transformed to prototrophy following electroporation with the URA3 gene cloned in an integrative vector, with frequencies of 100-200 transformants per micro g of DNA. Southern blot analysis revealed that almost all transformants were derived from homologous recombination events at the resident locus. The GeneBank Accession No. for C. lusitaniae URA3 gene is AF450297. 相似文献

The gene encoding NAD(P)H-flavin oxidoreductase (flavin reductase), which couples efficiently with dibenzothiophene (DBT)-desulfurizing monooxygenases of Rhodococci, was cloned from a DBT-non-desulfurizing bacterium Paenibacillus polymyxa A-1 in Escherichia coli, and designated as flv. Cell-free extracts from the recombinant exhibited a flavin reductase activity about forty times higher than that of the E. coli carrying the vector DNA only. Nucleotide sequence analysis reveals that the gene product consists of 208 amino acids and showed about 27%, 32% and 21% identity in amino acid sequence with FRase I, the major flavin reductase of Vibrio fischeri, the NADH dehydrogenase of Thermus thermophilus and several members of the nitroreductase family, respectively. The coexpression of flv with two kinds of desulfurizing genes, dszABC and tdsABC, in E. coli enhanced the rate of DBT degradation by about 10 and 5 times as high as in the case without flv, respectively. 相似文献

Dye-linked D-lactate dehydrogenase activity was found in the crude extract of a continental thermoacidophilic crenarchaeota, Sulfolobus tokodaii strain 7, and was purified 375-fold through four sequential chromatography steps. With a molecular mass of about 93 kDa, this enzyme was a homodimer comprised of identical subunits with molecular masses of about 48 kDa. The enzyme retained its full activity after incubation at 80 degrees C for 10 min and after incubation at pHs ranging from 6.5 to 10.0 for 30 min at 50 degrees C. The preferred substrate for this enzyme was D-lactate, with 2,6-dichloroindophenol serving as the electron acceptor. Using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), the enzyme's prosthetic group was determined to be flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). Its N-terminal amino acid sequence was MLEGIEYSQGEEREDFVGFKIKPKI. Using that sequence and previously reported genome information, the gene encoding the enzyme (ST0649) was identified. It was subsequently cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli and found to encode a polypeptide of 440 amino acids with a calculated molecular weight of 49,715. The amino acid sequence of this dye-linked D-lactate dehydrogenase showed higher homology (39% identity) with that of a glycolate oxidase subunit homologue from Archaeoglobus fulgidus, but less similarity (32% identity) to D-lactate dehydrogenase from A. fulgidus. Taken together, our findings indicate that the dye-linked D-lactate dehydrogenase from S. tokodaii is a novel type of FAD containing D-lactate dehydrogenase. 相似文献

The gene encoding ribonuclease HII from Bacillus stearothermophilus was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The overproduced protein, Bst-RNase HII, was purified and biochemically characterized. Bst-RNase HII, which consists of 259 amino acid residues, showed the highest amino acid sequence identity (50.2%) to Bacillus subtilis RNase HII. Like B. subtilis RNase HII, it exhibited Mn2+-dependent RNase H activity. It was, however, more thermostable than B. subtilis RNase HII. When the Bst-RNase HII amino acid sequence is compared with that of Thermococcus kodakaraensis RNase HII, to which it shows 29.8% identity, 30 residues are observed to be truncated from the C-terminus and there is an extension of 71 residues at the N-terminus. The C-terminal truncation results in the loss of the alpha9 helix, which is rich in basic amino acid residues and is therefore important for substrate binding. A truncated protein, Delta59-Bst-RNase HII, in which most of the N-terminal extension was removed, completely lost its RNase H activity. Surface plasmon resonance analysis indicated that this truncated protein did not bind to the substrate. These results suggest that the N-terminal extension of Bst-RNase HII is important for substrate binding. Because B. subtilis RNase HII has an N-terminal extension of the same length and these extensions contain a region in which basic amino acid residues are clustered, the Bacillus enzymes may represent a novel type of RNase H which possesses a substrate-binding domain at the N-terminus. 相似文献
