Molecular characterization of a proteolysis-resistant lipase from Bacillus pumilus SG2.

ABSTRACT: Proteolysis-resistant lipases can be well exploited by industrial processes which employ both lipase and protease as biocatalysts. A proteolysis resistant lipase from Bacillus pumilus SG2 was isolated, purified and characterized earlier. The lipase was resistant to native and commercial proteases. In the present work, we have characterized the lip gene which encodes the proteolysis-resistant lipase from Bacillus pumilus SG2. The parameters and structural details of lipase were analysed. The lip gene consisted of 650 bp. The experimental molecular weight of SG2 lipase was nearly double that of its theoretical molecular weight, thus suggesting the existence of the functional lipase as a covalent dimer. The proteolytic cleavage sites of the lipase would have been made inaccessible by dimerisation, thus rendering the lipase resistant to protease.

Biochemical and molecular characterization of Bacillus pumilus isolated from coastal environment in Cochin, India.

Project description:Bacillus species constitute a diverse group of bacteria widely distributed in soil and the aquatic environment. In this study, Bacillus strains isolated from the coastal environment of Cochin, India were identified by detailed conventional biochemical methods, fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) analysis and partial 16S rDNA sequencing. Analysis of the data revealed that Bacillus pumilus was the most predominant species in the region under study followed by B. cereus and B. sphaericus. The B. pumilus isolates were further characterized by arbitrarily primed PCR (AP-PCR), antibiotic sensitivity profiling and PCR screening for known toxin genes associated with Bacillus spp. All B. pumilus isolates were biochemically identical, exhibited high protease and lipase activity and uniformly sensitive to antibiotics tested in this study. One strain of B. pumilus harboured cereulide synthetase gene cesB of B. cereus which was indistinguishable from rest of the isolates biochemically and by AP-PCR. This study reports, for the first time, the presence of the emetic toxin gene cesB in B. pumilus.

Characterization of a Lipase From the Silkworm Intestinal Bacterium Bacillus pumilus With Antiviral Activity Against Bombyx mori (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae) Nucleopolyhedrovirus In Vitro.

Project description:To investigate whether Bombyx mori Linnaeus (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae) intestinal microorganism play a role in the host defence system against viral pathogens, a lipase gene from the silkworm intestinal bacterium Bacillus pumilus SW41 was characterized, and antiviral activity of its protein against B. mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) was tested. The lipase gene has an open-reading frame of 648 bp, which encodes a 215-amino-acid enzyme with a 34-amino-acid signal peptide. The recombinant lipase (without signal peptide) was expressed and purified by using an Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) expression system. The total enzyme activity of this recombinant lipase reached 277.40 U/mg at the optimum temperature of 25°C and optimum pH value of 8.0. The antiviral test showed that a relative high concentration of the recombinant lipase reduced BmNPV infectivity in vitro, which resulted in decreased viral DNA abundance and viral occlusion bodies. Besides, the preincubation method also suggested that the lipase probably directly acting on the budded virions. The results suggest that the lipase from intestinal bacterium B. pumilus SW41 is a potential antiviral factor for silkworm against BmNPV.

Response of Bacillus pumilus to hydrogen peroxide

Project description:Reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide occur in all aerobically living organisms. Oxidative stress during fermentation can impair the fitness of the production host and the quality of the product. B. pumilus has been described as highly resistant to hydrogen peroxide. The response of exponentially growing B. pumilus cells to hydrogen peroxide was studied.

Biochemical Characterization of a Thiol-Activated, Oxidation Stable Keratinase from Bacillus pumilus KS12.

Project description:An extracellular keratinase from Bacillus pumilus KS12 was purified by DEAE ion exchange chromatography. It was a 45?kDa monomer as determined by SDS PAGE analysis. It was found to be an alkaline, serine protease with pH and temperature optima of 10 and 60°C, respectively. It was thiol activated with two- and eight-fold enhancement in presence of 10 mM DTT and ?-mercaptoethanol, respectively. In addition, its activity was stimulated in the presence of various surfactants, detergents, and oxidizing agents where a nearly 2- to 3-fold enhancement was observed in presence of H(2)O(2) and NaHClO(3). It hydrolyzed broad range of complex substrates including feather keratin, haemoglobin, fibrin, casein,and ?-keratin. Analysis of amidolytic activity revealed that it efficiently cleaved phenylalanine ? leucine ? alanine- p-nitroanilides. It also cleaved insulin B chain between Val(2)- Asn(3), Leu(6)-Cys(7) and His(10)-Leu(11) residues.

Protection of Bacillus pumilus spores by catalases.

Project description:Bacillus pumilus SAFR-032, isolated at spacecraft assembly facilities of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Jet Propulsion Laboratory, is difficult to kill by the sterilization method of choice, which uses liquid or vapor hydrogen peroxide. We identified two manganese catalases, YjqC and BPUM_1305, in spore protein extracts of several B. pumilus strains by using PAGE and mass spectrometric analyses. While the BPUM_1305 catalase was present in six of the B. pumilus strains tested, YjqC was not detected in ATCC 7061 and BG-B79. Furthermore, both catalases were localized in the spore coat layer along with laccase and superoxide dismutase. Although the initial catalase activity in ATCC 7061 spores was higher, it was less stable over time than the SAFR-032 enzyme. We propose that synergistic activity of YjqC and BPUM_1305, along with other coat oxidoreductases, contributes to the enhanced resistance of B. pumilus spores to hydrogen peroxide. We observed that the product of the catalase reaction, gaseous oxygen, forms expanding vesicles on the spore surface, affecting the mechanical integrity of the coat layer, resulting in aggregation of the spores. The accumulation of oxygen gas and aggregations may play a crucial role in limiting further exposure of Bacilli spore surfaces to hydrogen peroxide or other toxic chemicals when water is present.
