单启动子双拷贝CPC酰化酶基因在毕赤酵母中的表达

为了实现外源基因在毕赤酵母中的高效表达,以口蹄疫病毒的2A片段连接2个头孢菌素C (CPC)酰化酶基因,形成双顺反子结构的质粒,整合到毕赤酵母的基因组中,并以筛选标记和聚合酶链式反应进行验证,最终得到双拷贝的阳性重组子. 通过摇瓶发酵培养,双拷贝转化菌株的最高酶活为2810 U/L,而在相同菌体浓度下,双拷贝转化菌株的CPC酰化酶酶活为单拷贝转化菌株的1.6倍. 利用结构短小和高剪切效率的2A多肽,不但可达到单启动子调控多份基因的目标,也为真核表达系统中以基因的拷贝数增强外源蛋白的表达提供了简便且高效的思路.     

A Novel Cold-Active Lipase from Candida albicans: Cloning, Expression and Characterization of the Recombinant Enzyme

A novel lipase gene lip5 from the yeast Candida albicans was cloned and sequenced. Alignment of amino acid sequences revealed that 86-34% identity exists with lipases from other Candida species. The lipase and its mutants were expressed in the yeast Pichia pastoris, where alternative codon usage caused the mistranslation of 154-Ser and 293-Ser as leucine. 154-Ser to leucine resulted in loss of expression of Lip5, and 293-Ser to leucine caused a marked reduction in the lipase activity. Lip5-DM, which has double mutations that revert 154 and 293 to serine residues, showed good lipase activity, and was overexpressed and purified by (NH(4))(2)SO(4) precipitation and ion-exchange chromatography. The pure Lip5-DM was stable at low temperatures ranging from 15-35 °C and pH 5-9, with the optimal conditions being 15-25 °C and pH 5-6. The activation energy of recombinant lipase was 8.5 Kcal/mol between 5 and 25 °C, suggesting that Lip5-DM was a cold-active lipase. Its activity was found to increase in the presence of Zn(2+), but it was strongly inhibited by Fe(2+), Fe(3+), Hg(2+) and some surfactants. In addition, the Lip5-DM could not tolerate water-miscible organic solvents. Lip5-DM exhibited a preference for the short-and medium-chain length p-nitrophenyl (C4 and C8 acyl group) esters rather than the long chain length p-nitrophenyl esters (C12, C16 and C18 acyl group) with highest activity observed with the C8 derivatives. The recombinant enzyme displayed activity toward triacylglycerols, such as olive oil and safflower oil.

Optimal Production and Biochemical Properties of a Lipase from Candida albicans

Lipases from microorganisms have multi-faceted properties and play an important role in ever-growing modern biotechnology and, consequently, it is of great significance to develop new ones. In the present work, a lipase gene from Candida albicans (CaLIP10) was cloned and two non-unusual CUG serine codons were mutated into universal codons, and its expression in Pichia pastoris performed optimally, as shown by response surface methodology. Optimal conditions were: initial pH of culture 6.86, temperature 25.53 °C, 3.48% of glucose and 1.32% of yeast extract. The corresponding maximal lipolytic activity of CaLIP10 was 8.06 U/mL. The purified CaLIP10 showed maximal activity at pH 8.0 and 25 °C, and a good resistance to non-ionic surfactants and polar organic solvent was noticed. CaLIP10 could effectively hydrolyze coconut oil, but exhibited no obvious preference to the fatty acids with different carbon length, and diacylglycerol was accumulated in the reaction products, suggesting that CaLIP10 is a potential lipase for the oil industry.     

A Novel Cyclodextrin Glycosyltransferase from Alkaliphilic Amphibacillus sp. NPST-10: Purification and Properties

Screening for cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase)-producing alkaliphilic bacteria from samples collected from hyper saline soda lakes (Wadi Natrun Valley, Egypt), resulted in isolation of potent CGTase producing alkaliphilic bacterium, termed NPST-10. 16S rDNA sequence analysis identified the isolate as Amphibacillus sp. CGTase was purified to homogeneity up to 22.1 fold by starch adsorption and anion exchange chromatography with a yield of 44.7%. The purified enzyme was a monomeric protein with an estimated molecular weight of 92 kDa using SDS-PAGE. Catalytic activities of the enzyme were found to be 88.8 U mg(-1) protein, 20.0 U mg(-1) protein and 11.0 U mg(-1) protein for cyclization, coupling and hydrolytic activities, respectively. The enzyme was stable over a wide pH range from pH 5.0 to 11.0, with a maximal activity at pH 8.0. CGTase exhibited activity over a wide temperature range from 45 °C to 70 °C, with maximal activity at 50 °C and was stable at 30 °C to 55 °C for at least 1 h. Thermal stability of the purified enzyme could be significantly improved in the presence of CaCl(2). K(m) and V(max) values were estimated using soluble starch as a substrate to be 1.7 ± 0.15 mg/mL and 100 ± 2.0 μmol/min, respectively. CGTase was significantly inhibited in the presence of Co(2+), Zn(2+), Cu(2+), Hg(2+), Ba(2+), Cd(2+), and 2-mercaptoethanol. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of CGTase production by Amphibacillus sp. The achieved high conversion of insoluble raw corn starch into cyclodextrins (67.2%) with production of mainly β-CD (86.4%), makes Amphibacillus sp. NPST-10 desirable for the cyclodextrin production industry.

Expression of an Endo-β-1,4-glucanase Gene from Orpinomyces PC-2 in Pichia pastoris

The endo-β-1,4-glucanase gene celE from the anaerobic fungus Orpinomyces PC-2 was placed under the control of an alcohol oxidase promoter (AOX1) in the plasmid pPIC9K, and integrated into the genome of a methylotrophic yeast P. pastoris GS115 by electroporation. The strain with highest endo-β-1,4-glucanase activity was selected and designed as P. pastoris egE, and cultivated in shaking flasks. The culture supernatant was assayed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and showed a single band at about 52 kDa. Furthermore, the recombinant P. pastoris egE was proved to possess the ability to utilize sodium carboxymethyl cellulose as a carbon source. The recombinant endoglucanase produced by P. pastoris showed maximum activity at pH 6.0 and temperature 45 °C, indicating it was a mesophilic neutral endo-β-1,4-glucanase, suitable for denim biofinishing/washing. Further research was carried out in suitable fermentation medium in shaking flasks. The most favorable methanol addition concentration was discussed and given as 1.0%. After methanol induction for 96 h, the endo-β-1,4-glucanase activity reached 72.5 IU mL(-1). This is the first report on expression and characterization of endo-β-1,4-glucanase from Orpinomyces in P. pastoris. The endo-β-1,4-glucanase secreted by recombinant P. pastoris represents an attractive potential for both academic research and textile industry application.

Functional expression of a plant hydroxynitrile lyase in Escherichia coli by directed evolution: creation and characterization of highly in vivo soluble mutants

Low protein solubility of recombinantly expressed proteins in Escherichia coli is a major factor hindering their application and analysis. We generated highly in vivo soluble mutants of a hydroxynitrile lyase in E.coli using protein engineering. Structure-guided saturation mutagenesis caused high solubility of single Lys-Pro mutations at positions 176, 199 and 224 of this low soluble wild-type enzyme. The triple Lys-Pro mutant generated at these surface conserved residues showed up to 8-fold increase in specific activity in the cell-free extract. Random mutagenesis also created a mutant of His103Met with 18.5-fold increase. The main expression form was reversed from insoluble to the soluble fraction following both types of above-mentioned mutations in E.coli at 37°C. The findings challenge the rationale of producing recombinant proteins in this host at 37°C. Formerly wild type low soluble protein was then present as soluble protein by these mutations, which also elevated the total soluble protein fraction in E.coli. Saturation mutagenesis of His103 provided other highly soluble mutants with hydrophobic substitutions. These mutations caused only minor secondary structural changes as determined by circular dichroism and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and affected catalytic efficiency slightly for the purified mutants (0.82-1.6-fold for benzaldehyde and 0.9-1.9-fold for mandelonitrile). The stability of the mutants was differed from that of the wild type at high temperatures and at pH >8. Exchanging the buried basic-polar residue His103 with hydrophobic amino acids is in line with the overall structure of the enzyme, i.e. having hydrophilic residues in solvent-exposed areas and hydrophobic residues in the core.     

Purification and Characterization of Organic Solvent and Detergent Tolerant Lipase from Thermotolerant Bacillus sp. RN2

The aim of this study was to characterize the organic solvent and detergent tolerant properties of recombinant lipase isolated from thermotolerant Bacillus sp. RN2 (Lip-SBRN2). The isolation of the lipase-coding gene was achieved by the use of inverse and direct PCR. The complete DNA sequencing of the gene revealed that the lip-SBRN2 gene contains 576 nucleotides which corresponded to 192 deduced amino acids. The purified enzyme was homogeneous with the estimated molecular mass of 19 kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE and gel filtration. The Lip-SBRN2 was stable in a pH range of 9-11 and temperature range of 45-60 °C. The enzyme was a non metallo-monomeric protein and was active against pNP-caprylate (C8) and pNP-laurate (C12) and coconut oil. The Lip-SBRN2 exhibited a high level of activity in the presence of 108% benzene, 102.4% diethylether and 112% SDS. It is anticipated that the organic solvent and detergent tolerant enzyme secreted by Bacillus sp. RN2 will be applicable as catalysts for reaction in the presence of organic solvents and detergents.

Cloning, functional expression, and characterization of recombinant pig liver esterase

The N-terminal amino acid sequence of pig liver esterase (PLE) from a commercial sample was determined and shown to match closely to a published sequence encoding a proline-beta-naphthylamidase from pig liver. Next, mRNA isolated from pig liver was transcribed into cDNA and primers deduced from the N-terminal sequence were used to clone the 1698 base pairs of PLE cDNA. Initial attempts to express the cDNA in Escherichia coli and Pichia pastoris with different expression vectors and secretion signal sequences failed. Only after deletion of the putative C-terminal sequence His-Ala-Glu-Leu, usually considered as an endoplasmic reticulum retention signal, could heterologous expression of PLE be readily achieved in the methylotrophic yeast P. pastoris. Recombinant PLE (rPLE) was secreted into the medium and exhibited a specific activity of approximately 600 Umg(-1) and a Vmax/Km value of 139 micromolmin(-1)mM(-1) with p-nitrophenyl acetate as a substrate. Activity staining of renatured sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gels gave a single band with esterolytic activity for rPLE, whereas several bands are visible in crude commercial PLE preparations. This was confirmed by native gels, which also show that rPLE is active as a trimer. Biochemical characterization of the recombinant enzyme and comparison with properties of commercial PLE preparations as well as with published data confirmed that we expressed a single PLE isoenzyme which showed a high preference for proline-beta-naphthylamide. This is a substrate specificity for the so-called gamma subunit of PLE. The optimum pH value and temperature for the recombinant PLE were 8.0 and 60 degrees C, respectively. The determined molecular weight of the secreted enzyme was approximately 61-62 kDa, which closely matches the calculated value of 62.419 kDa. The active site residues are located at Ser203, His448, and Asp97, and the typical consensus sequence motif for hydrolases was found around the active site serine (Gly-Glu-Ser-Ala-Gly).
