Cloning and secretive expression of the gene encoding the proteinaceous alpha-amylase inhibitor paim from Streptomyces corchorusii

A gene encoding the proteinaceous alpha-amylase inhibitor Paim was cloned and sequenced. Southern analysis and the amino acid sequence deduced from the cloned gene indicated that Paim isoforms were encoded in the same gene. When the gene was expressed in Escherichia coli and Streptomyces lividans, recombinant Paim inhibitors were produced in the periplasmic space and in the culture supernatant, respectively. The purified inhibitors had different N-terminal sequences from those of the authentic inhibitors.     

Cloning and sequencing of the deacetylase gene from Vibrio alginolyticus H-8

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%).     

Cloning and sequencing of an exoglucanase gene from Streptomyces sp. M 23, and its expression in Streptomyces lividans TK-24

A gene encoding exoglucanase (CBHII) of Streptomyces sp. M 23 was cloned and sequenced. The cbhII gene consisted of 1359 bp capable of encoding a polypeptide of 453 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 45,175 Da. The deduced amino acid sequence showed homology with those of cellulases belonging to family 6 of the glycosyl hydrolases. The cbhII gene was subcloned into the plasmid pSEV1 and expressed in Streptomyces lividans TK-24. The transformed cells were able to secrete the enzyme efficiently in an active form. The CBHII expressed by S. lividans TK-24 was purified to homogeneity by SDS-polyacrylamide gel and characterized. The recombinant CBHII was stable up to 50 degrees C and more than 30% of the original activity remained after heating at 100 degrees C for 10 min. The amino-terminal amino acid sequence of the recombinant CBHII was identified as GPAAPTARVD. These results agreed well with the properties of the authentic CBHII.     

Cloning and sequencing of a chitinase gene from Vibrio alginolyticus H-8

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.

The chitin deacetylase gene was cloned from cDNA of Colletotrichum lindemuthianum ATCC 56676, and the open reading frame consisted of a possible prepro-sequence of 27 amino acids at the N-terminus and a mature chitin deacetylase. The deduced amino acid sequence of the mature enzyme revealed 26% identity and 46% similarity with a chitin deacetylase from Mucor rouxii. The molecular mass of the protein estimated from the amino acid sequence data was 24.3 kDa, which was in good agreement with the MALDI-TOF MS analysis data of the purified protein (24.17-24.36 kDa). The gene product was overexpressed in Escherichia coli cells as a fusion protein with six histidine residues at its C-terminus. The fusion protein formed inclusion bodies, but chitin deacetylase activity was restored from the inclusion bodies by a simple renaturation step with 8 M urea treatment. The recombinant enzyme was purified by affinity chromatography and gel filtration steps, and had a final specific activity of 4.22 units mg(-1) of protein. Trypsin digestion of the recombinant enzyme resulted in 2.1-fold increase in activity, suggesting that the removal of the prepro-domain from the recombinant enzyme resulted in an increase in its activity.
