Purification, characterization, gene cloning, and sequencing of a new beta-glucosidase from Bacillus circulans subsp. alkalophilus.

ABSTRACT: An intracellular beta-glucosidase was purified from cell extracts of Bacillus circulans subsp. alkalophilus by NAD affinity and high-performance anion-exchange chromatographies. The enzyme was active against a wide range of aryl-beta-glucosides and beta-linked disaccharides. The structural gene for beta-glucosidase was cloned in Escherichia coli. The beta-glucosidase gene consisted of an open reading frame of 1,350 bp encoding a protein of 450 amino acids with a calculated M(r) of 51,303. The enzyme exhibited from 45 to 66% identity with five bacterial beta-glucosidases.

Cloning, secretory expression and characterization of recombinant ?-mannanase from Bacillus circulans NT 6.7.

Project description:The mannanase gene of B. circulans NT 6.7 was cloned and expressed in an Escherichia coli expression system. The B. circulans NT 6.7 mannanase gene consists of 1,083 nucleotides encoding a 360-amino acid residue long polypeptide, belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 26. The full-length mannanase gene including its native signal sequence was cloned into the vector pET21d and expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3). ?-Mannanase activities in the culture supernatant and crude cell extract were 37.10 and 515 U per ml, respectively, with most of the activity in the cell extract attributed to the periplasmic fraction. In contrast, expression of mannanase was much lower when using the B. circulans NT 6.7 mannanase gene without its signal sequence. The optimum temperature of recombinant ?-mannanase activity was 50°C and the optimum pH was 6.0. The enzyme was very specific for ?-mannan substrates with a preference for galactomannan. Hydrolysis products of locust bean gum were various mannooligosaccharides including mannohexaose, mannopentaose, mannotetraose, mannotriose and mannobiose, while mannose could not be detected. In conclusion, this expression system is efficient for the secretory production of recombinant ?-mannanase from B. circulans NT 6.7, which shows good characteristics for various applications.

Cloning, purification, and characterization of GH3 β-glucosidase, MtBgl85, from Microbulbifer thermotolerans DAU221.

Project description:Backgroundβ-Glucosidases have attracted considerable attention due to their important roles in various biotechnological processes such as cellulose degradation to make energy and hydrolysis of isoflavone. Microbulbifer thermotolerans (M. thermotolerans) is isolated from deep-sea sediment and has not been researched much yet. As a potential candidate for a variety of biotechnological industries, β-glucosidases from the novel bacterial species should be researched extensively.Methodsβ-Glucosidase, MtBgl85, from M. thermotolerans DAU221 was purified by His-tag affinity chromatography and confirmed by SDS-PAGE and zymogram. Its biochemical and physiological properties, such as effects of temperature, pH, metal ions, and organic solvents, substrate specificity, and isoflavone hydrolysis, were investigated.ResultsM. thermotolerans DAU221 showed β-glucosidase activity in a marine broth plate containing 0.1% esculin and 0.25% ammonium iron (III) citrate. The β-glucosidase gene, mtbgl85, was isolated from the whole genome sequence of M. thermotolerans DAU221. The β-glucosidase gene was 2,319 bp and encoded 772 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence had a 43% identity with OaBGL84 from Olleya aquimaris and 35% and 32% identity with to CfBgl3A and CfBgl3C from Cellulomonas fimi among bacterial glycosyl hydrolase family 3, respectively. The optimal temperature of MtBgl85 was 50 °C and the optimum pH was 7.0. MtBgl85 activity was strongly reduced in the presence of Hg2+ and Cu2+ ions. As a result of measuring the activity at various concentrations of NaCl, it was confirmed that the activity was maintained up to the concentration of 1 M, but gradually decreased with increasing concentration. MtBgl85 showed higher enzyme stability at non-polar solvents (high Log Pow ) than polar solvents (low Log Pow ). The hydrolyzed products of isoflavone glycosides and arbutin were analyzed by HPLC.

Cloning and Partial Characterization of an Endo-?-(1?6)-d-Mannanase Gene from Bacillus circulans.

Project description:Mycobacteria produce two major lipoglycans, lipomannan (LM) and lipoarabinomannan (LAM), whose broad array of biological activities are tightly related to the fine details of their structure. However, the heterogeneity of these molecules in terms of internal and terminal covalent modifications and complex internal branching patterns represent significant obstacles to their structural characterization. Previously, an endo-?-(1?6)-D-mannanase from Bacillus circulans proved useful in cleaving the mannan backbone of LM and LAM, allowing the reducing end of these molecules to be identified as Manp-(1?6) [Manp-(1?2)]-Ino. Although first reported 45 years ago, no easily accessible form of this enzyme was available to the research community, a fact that may in part be explained by a lack of knowledge of its complete gene sequence. Here, we report on the successful cloning of the complete endo-?-(1?6)-D-mannanase gene from Bacillus circulans TN-31, herein referred to as emn. We further report on the successful production and purification of the glycosyl hydrolase domain of this enzyme and its use to gain further insight into its substrate specificity using synthetic mannoside acceptors as well as LM and phosphatidyl-myo-inositol mannoside precursors purified from mycobacteria.

A new thermoactive pullulanase from Desulfurococcus mucosus: cloning, sequencing, purification, and characterization of the recombinant enzyme after expression in Bacillus subtilis.

Project description:The gene encoding a thermoactive pullulanase from the hyperthermophilic anaerobic archaeon Desulfurococcus mucosus (apuA) was cloned in Escherichia coli and sequenced. apuA from D. mucosus showed 45.4% pairwise amino acid identity with the pullulanase from Thermococcus aggregans and contained the four regions conserved among all amylolytic enzymes. apuA encodes a protein of 686 amino acids with a 28-residue signal peptide and has a predicted mass of 74 kDa after signal cleavage. The apuA gene was then expressed in Bacillus subtilis and secreted into the culture fluid. This is one of the first reports on the successful expression and purification of an archaeal amylopullulanase in a Bacillus strain. The purified recombinant enzyme (rapuDm) is composed of two subunits, each having an estimated molecular mass of 66 kDa. Optimal activity was measured at 85 degrees C within a broad pH range from 3.5 to 8.5, with an optimum at pH 5.0. Divalent cations have no influence on the stability or activity of the enzyme. RapuDm was stable at 80 degrees C for 4 h and exhibited a half-life of 50 min at 85 degrees C. By high-pressure liquid chromatography analysis it was observed that rapuDm hydrolyzed alpha-1,6 glycosidic linkages of pullulan, producing maltotriose, and also alpha-1,4 glycosidic linkages in starch, amylose, amylopectin, and cyclodextrins, with maltotriose and maltose as the main products. Since the thermoactive pullulanases known so far from Archaea are not active on cyclodextrins and are in fact inhibited by these cyclic oligosaccharides, the enzyme from D. mucosus should be considered an archaeal pullulanase type II with a wider substrate specificity.

Purification, Characterization, and cDNA Cloning of a Prominent β-Glucosidase from the Gut of the Xylophagous Cockroach Panesthia angustipennis spadica.

Project description:In this study, a β-glucosidase (PaBG1b) with high specific activity was purified from gut extracts of the wood-feeding cockroach Panesthia angustipennis spadica using Superdex 75 gel filtration chromatography and High-Trap phenyl hydrophobic chromatography. The protein was purified 14-fold to a single band identified by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, with an apparent molecular mass of 56.7 kDa. The specific activity of the purified enzyme was 708 μmol/min/mg protein using cellobiose as substrate. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest specific activity reported among β-glucosidases to date. The purified PaBG1b showed optimal activity at pH 5.0 and retained more than 65 % of the activity between pH 4.0 and 6.5. The activity was stable up to 50 °C for 30 min. Kinetic studies on cellobiose revealed that the K m was 5.3 mM, and the V max was 1,020 μmol/min/mg. The internal amino acid sequence of PaBG1b was analyzed, and two continuous sequences (a total of 39 amino acids) of the C-terminal region were elucidated. Based on these amino acid sequences, a full-length cDNA (1,552 bp) encoding 502 amino acids was isolated. The encoded protein showed high similarity to β-glucosidases from glycoside hydrolase family 1. Thus, the current study demonstrated the potential of PaBG1b for application in enzymatic biomass-conversion as a donor gene for heterologous recombination of cellulase-producing agents (fungi or bacteria) or an additive enzyme for cellulase products based on the high-performance of PaBG1b as a digestive enzyme in cockroaches.

Cloning and characterization of the crystal protein-encoding gene of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. yunnanensis.

Project description:Molecular cloning and characterization of a novel cry gene, cry32Aa, of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. yunnanensis was carried out. The Cry32Aa protein was predicted to have a molecular mass of 139.2 kDa and was found to have an unusual 42-amino-acid-long tail at the C terminus. The cry32Aa gene was localized on the 103-MDa plasmid of the organism. Bioassays showed no toxicity against several moths and mosquitoes. However, it exhibited weak toxicity against larvae of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella.

Gene cloning and characterization of a novel cellulose-binding beta-glucosidase from Phanerochaete chrysosporium.

Project description:Analysis of a 2.4-kb cDNA of the cellulose-binding extracellular beta-glucosidase (CBGL) from Phanerochaete chrysosporium suggested that CBGL is organized into two domains, an N-terminal cellulose-binding domain and a C-terminal catalytic domain. Genomic sequence analysis suggested that cbgl is encoded by 30 exons. Southern analysis of DNA from homokaryotic cultures indicated that CBGL is encoded by two alleles, cbgl-1 and cbgl-2, of a single gene.

Molecular cloning, sequencing, purification, and characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa ribosome recycling factor.

Project description:Ribosome recycling factor (RRF) is required for release of 70S ribosomes from mRNA on reaching the termination codon for the next cycle of protein synthesis. The RRF-encoding gene (frr) of Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAO1 was functionally cloned by using a temperature-sensitive frr mutant of Escherichia coli and sequenced. The P. aeruginosa frr was mapped at 30 to 32 min of the P. aeruginosa chromosome. The deduced amino acid sequence of RRF showed a 64% identity to that of E. coli RRF. In an assay including E. coli polysome and elongation factor G, purified recombinant RRF of P. aeruginosa released monosomes from polysomes. This is the first case in which an RRF homologue was found to be active in heterogeneous ribosome recycling machinery. The genes for ribosomal protein S2 (rpsB), elongation factor Ts (tsf), and UMP kinase (pyrH) are located upstream of frr. The arrangement of the genes, rpsB-tsf-pyrH-frr, resembles those reported for E. coli and Bacillus subtilis. Even in the cyanobacterium genome, the arrangement pyrH-frr is conserved. Although RRF homologues are found in eukaryotic cells, phylogenetic analysis suggests that they were originally present within the members of the phylogenetic tree of prokaryotic RRF. This finding suggests that the ribosome recycling step catalyzed by RRF is specific for prokaryotic cells and that eukaryotic RRF is required for protein synthesis in organelles, which are believed to be phylogenetically originated from prokaryotes.

Gene cloning, transcriptional analysis, purification, and characterization of phenolic acid decarboxylase from Bacillus subtilis.

Project description:Bacillus subtilis displays a substrate-inducible decarboxylating activity with the following three phenolic acids: ferulic, p-coumaric, and caffeic acids. Based on DNA sequence homologies between the Bacillus pumilus ferulate decarboxylase gene (fdc) (A. Zago, G. Degrassi, and C. V. Bruschi, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 61:4484-4486, 1995) and the Lactobacillus plantarum p-coumarate decarboxylase gene (pdc) (J.-F. Cavin, L. Barthelmebs, and C. Diviès, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 63:1939-1944, 1997), a DNA probe of about 300 nucleotides for the L. plantarum pdc gene was used to screen a B. subtilis genomic library in order to clone the corresponding gene in this bacterium. One clone was detected with this heterologous probe, and this clone exhibited phenolic acid decarboxylase (PAD) activity. The corresponding 5-kb insertion was partially sequenced and was found to contain a 528-bp open reading frame coding for a 161-amino-acid protein exhibiting 71 and 84% identity with the pdc- and fdc-encoded enzymes, respectively. The PAD gene (pad) is transcriptionally regulated by p-coumaric, ferulic, or caffeic acid; these three acids are the three substrates of PAD. The pad gene was overexpressed constitutively in Escherichia coli, and the stable purified enzyme was characterized. The difference in substrate specificity between this PAD and other PADs seems to be related to a few differences in the amino acid sequence. Therefore, this novel enzyme should facilitate identification of regions involved in catalysis and substrate specificity.
