Cloning of the novel gene encoding beta-agarase C from a marine bacterium, Vibrio sp. strain PO-303, and characterization of the gene product.

ABSTRACT: The beta-agarase C gene (agaC) of a marine bacterium, Vibrio sp. strain PO-303, consisted of 1,437 bp encoding 478 amino acid residues. beta-Agarase C was identified as the first beta-agarase that cannot hydrolyze neoagarooctaose and smaller neoagarooligosaccharides and was assigned to a novel glycoside hydrolase family.

Cloning and sequencing of agaA, a unique agarase 0107 gene from a marine bacterium, Vibrio sp. strain JT0107.

Project description:An agarase gene (agaA) was cloned from genomic DNA of Vibrio sp. strain JT0107. An open reading frame of 2,985 nucleotides gave a primary translation product composed of the mature protein, agarase 0107 (975 amino acid residues, with a molecular weight of 105,271) and a signal peptide of 20 amino acid residues at the N terminus. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequence of agarase 0107 with those of Streptomyces coelicolor and Pseudomonas atlantica suggests that these enzymes share two regions in common. The AgaA protein which was expressed in Escherichia coli had the agarase activity. Agarase 0107 hydrolyzes not only agarose but also neoagarotetraose [O-3,6-anhydro-alpha-L-galactopyranosyl (1-->3)-O-beta-D-galactopyranosyl(1-->4)-O-3,6-anhydro-alpha-L-galact opy ranosyl (1-->3)-D-galactose] to yield neoagarobiose [O-3,6-anhydro-alpha-L-galactopyranosyl(1-->3)-D-galactose]. This is a quite unique characteristic for a beta-agarase.

Cloning, characterization, and molecular application of a beta-agarase gene from Vibrio sp. strain V134.

Project description:V134, a marine isolate of the Vibrio genus, was found to produce a new beta-agarase of the GH16 family. The relevant agarase gene agaV was cloned from V134 and conditionally expressed in Escherichia coli. Enzyme activity analysis revealed that the optimum temperature and pH for the purified recombinant agarase were around 40 degrees C and 7.0. AgaV was demonstrated to be useful in two aspects: first, as an agarolytic enzyme, the purified recombinant AgaV could be employed in the recovery of DNA from agarose gels; second, as a secretion protein, AgaV was explored at the genetic level and used as a reporter in the construction of a secretion signal trap which proved to be a simple and efficient molecular tool for the selection of genes encoding secretion proteins from both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

The structure of PfGH50B, an agarase from the marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas fuliginea PS47.

Project description:The recently identified marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas fuliginea sp. PS47 possesses a polysaccharide-utilization locus dedicated to agarose degradation. In particular, it contains a gene (locus tag EU509_06755) encoding a β-agarase that belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 50 (GH50), PfGH50B. The 2.0 Å resolution X-ray crystal structure of PfGH50B reveals a rare complex multidomain fold that was found in two of the three previously determined GH50 structures. The structure comprises an N-terminal domain with a carbohydrate-binding module (CBM)-like fold fused to a C-terminal domain by a rigid linker. The CBM-like domain appears to function by extending the catalytic groove of the enzyme. Furthermore, the PfGH50B structure highlights key structural features in the mobile loops that may function to restrict the degree of polymerization of the neoagaro-oligosaccharide products and the enzyme processivity.

Cloning and characterization of vuuA, a gene encoding the Vibrio vulnificus ferric vulnibactin receptor.

Project description:The ability of Vibrio vulnificus to acquire iron from the host has been shown to correlate with virulence. Many iron transport genes are regulated by iron, and in V. vulnificus, transcriptional regulation by iron depends on the fur gene. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of a 72-kDa iron-regulated outer membrane protein purified from a V. vulnificus fur mutant had 53% homology with the first 15 amino acids of the mature protein of the Vibrio cholerae vibriobactin receptor, ViuA. In this report, we describe the cloning, DNA sequence, mutagenesis, and analysis of transcriptional regulation of the structural gene for VuuA, the vulnibactin receptor of V. vulnificus. Analysis of the DNA sequence of the vuuA promoter region demonstrated a sequence identical to the upstream Fur box of V. cholerae viuA. Northern blot analysis showed that the transcript was strongly regulated by iron. The amino acid sequence of VuuA was 74% identical to the sequence of V. cholerae ViuA and was homologous to those of several TonB-dependent outer membrane receptors. An internal deletion of the V. vulnificus vuuA gene resulted in the loss of expression of the 72-kDa protein and the loss of the ability to use transferrin or vulnibactin as a source of iron. This mutant showed reduced virulence in an infant mouse model. Introduction of a plasmid containing the complete viuA coding sequence and 342 bp of upstream DNA into the mutant restored ferric vulnibactin and ferric transferrin utilization to the mutant.

Overexpression and characterization of a novel thermostable ?-agarase YM01-3, from marine bacterium Catenovulum agarivorans YM01(T).

Project description:Genome sequencing of Catenovulum agarivorans YM01T reveals 15 open-reading frames (ORFs) encoding various agarases. In this study, extracellular proteins of YM01T were precipitated by ammonium sulfate and separated by one-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The results of in-gel agarase activity assay and mass spectrometry analysis revealed that the protein, YM01-3, was an agarase with the most evident agarolytic activity. Agarase YM01-3, encoded by the YM01-3 gene, consisted of 420 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 46.9 kDa and contained a glycoside hydrolase family 16 ?-agarase module followed by a RICIN superfamily in the C-terminal region. The YM01-3 gene was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant agarase, YM01-3, showed optimum activity at pH 6.0 and 60 °C and had a K(m) of 3.78 mg mL?¹ for agarose and a Vmax of 1.14 × 10? U mg?¹. YM01-3 hydrolyzed the ?-1,4-glycosidic linkages of agarose, yielding neoagarotetraose and neoagarohexaose as the main products. Notably, YM01-3 was stable below 50 °C and retained 13% activity after incubation at 80 °C for 1 h, characteristics much different from other agarases. The present study highlights a thermostable agarase with great potential application value in industrial production.

Substrate recognition and hydrolysis by a family 50 exo-?-agarase, Aga50D, from the marine bacterium Saccharophagus degradans.

Project description:The bacteria that metabolize agarose use multiple enzymes of complementary specificities to hydrolyze the glycosidic linkages in agarose, a linear polymer comprising the repeating disaccharide subunit of neoagarobiose (3,6-anhydro-l-galactose-?-(1,3)-d-galactose) that are ?-(1,4)-linked. Here we present the crystal structure of a glycoside hydrolase family 50 exo-?-agarase, Aga50D, from the marine microbe Saccharophagus degradans. This enzyme catalyzes a critical step in the metabolism of agarose by S. degradans through cleaving agarose oligomers into neoagarobiose products that can be further processed into monomers. The crystal structure of Aga50D to 1.9 ? resolution reveals a (?/?)8-barrel fold that is elaborated with a ?-sandwich domain and extensive loops. The structures of catalytically inactivated Aga50D in complex with non-hydrolyzed neoagarotetraose (2.05 ? resolution) and neoagarooctaose (2.30 ? resolution) provide views of Michaelis complexes for a ?-agarase. In these structures, the d-galactose residue in the -1 subsite is distorted into a (1)S3 skew boat conformation. The relative positioning of the putative catalytic residues are most consistent with a retaining catalytic mechanism. Additionally, the neoagarooctaose complex showed that this extended substrate made substantial interactions with the ?-sandwich domain, which resembles a carbohydrate-binding module, thus creating additional plus (+) subsites and funneling the polymeric substrate through the tunnel-shaped active site. A synthesis of these results in combination with an additional neoagarobiose product complex suggests a potential exo-processive mode of action of Aga50D on the agarose double helix.
