Cloning, expression, purification, and characterization of glutaredoxin from Antarctic sea-ice bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. AN178.

ABSTRACT: Glutaredoxins (Grxs) are small ubiquitous redox enzymes that catalyze glutathione-dependent reactions to reduce protein disulfide. In this study, a full-length Grx gene (PsGrx) with 270 nucleotides was isolated from Antarctic sea-ice bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. AN178. It encoded deduced 89 amino acid residues with the molecular weight 9.8?kDa. Sequence analysis of the amino acid sequence revealed the catalytic motif CPYC. Recombinant PsGrx (rPsGrx) stably expressed in E. coli BL21 was purified to apparent homogeneity by Ni-affinity chromatography. rPsGrx exhibited optimal activity at 30°C and pH 8.0 and showed 25.5% of the activity at 0°C. It retained 65.0% of activity after incubation at 40°C for 20?min and still exhibited 37.0% activity in 1.0?M NaCl. These results indicated that rPsGrx was a typical cold active protein with low thermostability.

A Novel Cold-Adapted Leucine Dehydrogenase from Antarctic Sea-Ice Bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. ANT178.

Project description:l-tert-leucine and its derivatives are useful as pharmaceutical active ingredients, in which leucine dehydrogenase (LeuDH) is the key enzyme in their enzymatic conversions. In the present study, a novel cold-adapted LeuDH, psleudh, was cloned from psychrotrophic bacteria Pseudoalteromonas sp. ANT178, which was isolated from Antarctic sea-ice. Bioinformatics analysis of the gene psleudh showed that the gene was 1209 bp in length and coded for a 42.6 kDa protein containing 402 amino acids. PsLeuDH had conserved Phe binding site and NAD? binding site, and belonged to a member of the Glu/Leu/Phe/Val dehydrogenase family. Homology modeling analysis results suggested that PsLeuDH exhibited more glycine residues, reduced proline residues, and arginine residues, which might be responsible for its catalytic efficiency at low temperature. The recombinant PsLeuDH (rPsLeuDH) was purified a major band with the high specific activity of 275.13 U/mg using a Ni-NTA affinity chromatography. The optimum temperature and pH for rPsLeuDH activity were 30 °C and pH 9.0, respectively. Importantly, rPsLeuDH retained at least 40% of its maximum activity even at 0 °C. Moreover, the activity of rPsLeuDH was the highest in the presence of 2.0 M NaCl. Substrate specificity and kinetic studies of rPsLeuDH demonstrated that l-leucine was the most suitable substrate, and the catalytic activity at low temperatures was ensured by maintaining a high kcat value. The results of the current study would provide insight into Antarctic sea-ice bacterium LeuDH, and the unique properties of rPsLeuDH make it a promising candidate as a biocatalyst in medical and pharmaceutical industries.

Molecular Cloning and Characterization of a Novel <i>α</i>-Amylase from Antarctic Sea Ice Bacterium <i>Pseudoalteromonas</i> sp. M175 and Its Primary Application in Detergent.

Project description:A novel cold-adapted and salt-tolerant α-amylase gene (amy175) from Antarctic sea ice bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. M175 was successfully cloned and expressed. The open reading frame (ORF) of amy175 had 1722 bp encoding a protein of 573 amino acids residues. Multiple alignments indicated Amy175 had seven highly conserved sequences and the putative catalytic triad (Asp244, Glu286, and Asp372). It was the first identified member of GH13_36 subfamily which contained QPDLN in the CSR V. The recombinant enzyme (Amy175) was purified to homogeneity with a molecular mass of about 62 kDa on SDS-PAGE. It had a mixed enzyme specificity of α-amylase and α-glucosidase. Amy175 displayed highest activity at pH 8.0 and 25°C and exhibited extreme salt-resistance with the maximum activity at 1 M NaCl. Amy175 was strongly stimulated by Mg2+, Ni2+, K+, 1 mM Ca2+, 1 mM Ba2+, 1 mM Pb2+, 1 mM sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), and 10% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) but was significantly inhibited by Cu2+, Mn2+, Hg2+, 10 mM β-mercaptoethanol (β-ME), and 10% Tween 80. Amy175 demonstrated excellent resistance towards all the tested commercial detergents, and wash performance analysis displayed that the addition of Amy175 improved the stain removal efficiency. This study demonstrated that Amy175 would be proposed as a novel α-amylase source for industrial application in the future.

Structural and functional characterization of mature forms of metalloprotease E495 from Arctic sea-ice bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. SM495.

Project description:E495 is the most abundant protease secreted by the Arctic sea-ice bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. SM495. As a thermolysin family metalloprotease, E495 was found to have multiple active forms in the culture of strain SM495. E495-M (containing only the catalytic domain) and E495-M-C1 (containing the catalytic domain and one PPC domain) were two stable mature forms, and E495-M-C1-C2 (containing the catalytic domain and two PPC domains) might be an intermediate. Compared to E495-M, E495-M-C1 had similar affinity and catalytic efficiency to oligopeptides, but higher affinity and catalytic efficiency to proteins. The PPC domains from E495 were expressed as GST-fused proteins. Both of the recombinant PPC domains were shown to have binding ability to proteins C-phycocyanin and casein, and domain PPC1 had higher affinity to C-phycocyanin than domain PPC2. These results indicated that the domain PPC1 in E495-M-C1 could be helpful in binding protein substrate, and therefore, improving the catalytic efficiency. Site-directed mutagenesis on the PPC domains showed that the conserved polar and aromatic residues, D26, D28, Y30, Y/W65, in the PPC domains played key roles in protein binding. Our study may shed light on the mechanism of organic nitrogen degradation in the Arctic sea ice.

A glutathione peroxidase from Antarctic psychrotrophic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. ANT506: Cloning and heterologous expression of the gene and characterization of recombinant enzyme.

Project description:A glutathione peroxidase (GPx) gene, designated as PsGPx, was cloned from Antarctic psychrotrophic bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. ANT506 and expressed in Escherichia coli. The full-length PsGPx contained a 585-bp encoding 194 amino acids with predicted molecular masses of approx. 21.7 kDa. Multiple sequence alignments revealed that PsGPx belonged to the thioredoxin-like superfamily. PsGPx was heterologously overexpressed in E. coli, purified and characterized. The maximum catalytic temperature and pH value for recombinant PsGPx (rPsGPx) were 30°C and pH 9.0, respectively. rPsGPx retained 45% of the maximum activity at 0°C and exhibited high thermolability with a half-life of approx. 40 min at 40°C. In addition, the enzymatic activity of rPsGPx was still manifested under 3 M NaCl. The Km and Vmax values of the recombinant enzyme using GSH and H2O2 as substrates were 1.73 mM and 16.28 nmol/mL/min versus 2.46 mM and 21.50 nmol/mL/min, respectively.

Structure and ecological roles of a novel exopolysaccharide from the arctic sea ice bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. Strain SM20310.

Project description:The structure and ecological roles of the exopolysaccharides (EPSs) from sea ice microorganisms are poorly studied. Here we show that strain SM20310, with an EPS production of 567 mg liter(-1), was screened from 110 Arctic sea ice isolates and identified as a Pseudoalteromonas strain. The EPS secreted by SM20310 was purified, and its structural characteristics were studied. The predominant repeating unit of this EPS is a highly complicated α-mannan with a molecular mass greater than 2 × 10(6) Da. The backbone of the EPS consists of 2-α-, 6-α-mannosyl residues, in which a considerable part of the 6-α-mannosyl residues are branched at the 2 position with either single t-mannosyl residues or two mannosyl residues. The structure of the described EPS is different from the structures of EPSs secreted by other marine bacteria. Analysis of the ecological roles of the identified EPS showed that the EPS could significantly enhance the high-salinity tolerance of SM20310 and improve the survival of SM20310 after freeze-thaw cycles. These results suggest that the EPS secreted by strain SM20310 enables the strain to adapt to the sea ice environment, which is characterized by low temperature, high salinity, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles. In addition to its functions in strain SM20310, this EPS also significantly improved the tolerance of Escherichia coli to freeze-thaw cycles, suggesting that it may have a universal impact on microorganism cryoprotection.

A Novel Cold-Adapted and Salt-Tolerant RNase R from Antarctic Sea-Ice Bacterium Psychrobacter sp. ANT206.

Project description:A novel RNase R, psrnr, was cloned from the Antarctic bacterium Psychrobacter sp. ANT206 and expressed in Escherichia coli (E. coli). A bioinformatics analysis of the psrnr gene revealed that it contained an open reading frame of 2313 bp and encoded a protein (PsRNR) of 770 amino acids. Homology modeling indicated that PsRNR had reduced hydrogen bonds and salt bridges, which might be the main reason for the catalytic efficiency at low temperatures. A site directed mutation exhibited that His 667 in the active site was absolutely crucial for the enzyme catalysis. The recombinant PsRNR (rPsRNR) showed maximum activity at 30 °C and had thermal instability, suggesting that rPsRNR was a cold-adapted enzyme. Interestingly, rPsRNR displayed remarkable salt tolerance, remaining stable at 0.5-3.0 M NaCl. Furthermore, rPsRNR had a higher kcat value, contributing to its efficient catalytic activity at a low temperature. Overall, cold-adapted RNase R in this study was an excellent candidate for antimicrobial treatment.

Purification and Characterization of A New Cold-Adapted and Thermo-Tolerant Chitosanase from Marine Bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. SY39.

Project description:Chitosanases play an important role in chitosan degradation, forming enzymatic degradation products with several biological activities. Although many chitosanases have been discovered and studied, the enzymes with special characteristics are still rather rare. In this study, a new chitosanase, CsnM, with an apparent molecular weight of 28 kDa was purified from the marine bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. SY39. CsnM is a cold-adapted enzyme, which shows highest activity at 40 °C and exhibits 30.6% and 49.4% of its maximal activity at 10 and 15 °C, respectively. CsnM is also a thermo-tolerant enzyme that recovers 95.2%, 89.1% and 88.1% of its initial activity after boiling for 5, 10 and 20 min, respectively. Additionally, CsnM is an endo-type chitosanase that yields chitodisaccharide as the main product (69.9% of the total product). It's cold-adaptation, thermo-tolerance and high chitodisaccharide yield make CsnM a superior candidate for biotechnological application to produce chitooligosaccharides.

Characterization of the exopolymer-producing Pseudoalteromonas sp. S8-8 from Antarctic sediment.

Project description:A synergistic approach using cultivation methods, chemical, and bioinformatic analyses was applied to explore the potential of Pseudoalteromonas sp. S8-8 in the production of extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) and the possible physiological traits related to heavy metal and/or antibiotic resistance. The effects of different parameters (carbon source, carbon source concentration, temperature, pH and NaCl supplement) were tested to ensure the optimization of growth conditions for EPS production by the strain S8-8. The highest yield of EPS was obtained during growth in culture medium supplemented with glucose (final concentration 2%) and NaCl (final concentration 3%), at 15 °C and pH 7. The EPS was mainly composed of carbohydrates (35%), followed by proteins and uronic acids (2.5 and 2.77%, respectively) and showed a monosaccharidic composition of glucose: mannose: galactosamine: galactose in the relative molar proportions of 1:0.7:0.5:0.4, as showed by the HPAE-PAD analysis. The detection of specific molecular groups (sulfates and uronic acid content) supported the interesting properties of EPSs, i.e. the emulsifying and cryoprotective action, heavy metal chelation, with interesting implication in bioremediation and biomedical fields. The analysis of the genome allowed to identify a cluster of genes involved in cellulose biosynthesis, and two additional gene clusters putatively involved in EPS biosynthesis. KEY POINTS: • A cold-adapted Pseudoalteromonas strain was investigated for EPS production. • The EPS showed emulsifying, cryoprotective, and heavy metal chelation functions. • Three gene clusters putatively involved in EPS biosynthesis were evidenced by genomic insights.
