Nucleotide sequence of the gene for cholesterol oxidase from a Streptomyces sp.

ABSTRACT: The nucleotide sequence of a 2.1-kilobase-pair fragment containing the Streptomyces choA gene, which codes a secreted cholesterol oxidase, was determined. A single open reading frame encodes a mature cholesterol oxidase of 504 amino acids, with a calculated Mr of 54,913. The leader peptides extend over 42 amino acids and have the characteristics of a signal sequence, including basic amino acids near the amino terminus and a hydrophobic core near the signal cleavage site. Analyses of the total amino acid composition and amino acid sequencing of the first 21 amino acids from the N terminus of the purified extracellular enzyme agree with the values deduced from nucleotide sequencing data.

Cloning, nucleotide sequence, and transcriptional analysis of the NAD(P)-dependent cholesterol dehydrogenase gene from a Nocardia sp. and its hyperexpression in Streptomyces spp.

Project description:NAD(P)-dependent cholesterol dehydrogenases [NAD(P)-CDH], which allow easier quantification of cholesterol by means of directly measuring the A340 of NAD(P)H, are useful for clinical purposes. The amino acid sequences of the NH2 terminus and the fragments obtained by CNBr decomposition of the NAD(P)-CDH from a Nocardia sp. were determined for preparation of synthetic oligonucleotides as hybridization probes. A 4.4-kbp BamHI fragment hybridizing to these probes was cloned on pUC19 in Escherichia coli. The nucleotide sequence together with the determined amino acid sequences revealed that this enzyme consists of 364 amino acids (Mr, 39,792) and contains an NAD(P)-binding consensus sequence at its NH2-terminal portion. High-resolution S1 nuclease mapping suggested that in NAD(P)-CDH of both Nocardia and Streptomyces spp. transcription initiates at the adenine residue, which is the first position of the translational initiation triplet (AUG) of this protein. The S1 mapping experiments also showed that cholesterol-dependent regulation in the Nocardia sp. occurred at the level of transcription. In Streptomyces lividans containing the cloned fragment, however, this promoter was expressed constitutively. DNA manipulation of the cloned gene in E. coli, including the generation of a ribosome-binding sequence at an appropriate position by oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis, led to production of this protein in a very large amount but in the enzymatically inactive form of inclusion bodies. On the other hand, a Streptomyces host-vector system was successfully used for producing 40 times as much enzymatically active NAD(P)-CDH as that produced by the original Nocardia sp.

An operon containing the genes for cholesterol oxidase and a cytochrome P-450-like protein from a Streptomyces sp.

Project description:The nucleotide sequence of the promoter region of the gene for cholesterol oxidase (choA) from Streptomyces sp. strain SA-COO was determined. We found an open reading frame (choP) that is located between a potential promoter sequence and the structural gene for the ChoA protein. Deletion analysis showed that the promoter region for choP is essential for expression of the choA gene. Mappings of S1 nuclease and primer extension of transcripts generated in vivo suggested that the synthesis of mRNA starts at a site 41 bases upstream from the ATG initiation codon of the choP gene. By Northern (RNA) blot analysis of the transcripts, we found a 2.9-kilobase transcript that is identical in size to the total sequence of the choP and choA genes. These results suggest that the two genes, choP and choA, are transcribed polycistronically under the control of the promoter that is upstream from the structural gene for choP. The choP gene encodes a protein of 381 amino acids with a calculated Mr of 41,668. The nucleotide sequence of the choP gene has a high degree of similarity to the sequence of the genes for cytochrome P-450s from humans and Pseudomonas species. A region of homology with the cytochrome P-450s from various organisms was identified in the choP protein and may represent a region associated with a binding site for heme iron. Analysis of the CO difference spectrum of an extract of Streptomyces lividans cells that carry a plasmid which includes the choP gene revealed a unique peak, characteristic of cytochrome P-450, which is identical to that obtained with the parent strain.

Extracellular cholesterol oxidase from Rhodococcus sp.: isolation and molecular characterization.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Cholesterol oxidase (CHO) has various clinical and industrial applications. Recently, microbial CHO have received a great attention for their wide usage in medicine. Here, taxonomic characterizations of isolated strain from soil, optimization of the conditions for CHO production and biochemical characterizations of produced CHO enzyme were described. Finally, CHO gene was cloned into a cloning vector. METHODS: Various samples were collected and cultivated in a screening medium consisting of cholesterol. For isolation of CHO-producing bacteria, well-grown colonies were inoculated into an optimized medium. Different biochemical and microbiological tests were performed on isolated bacteria to identify their properties. For phylogenic analysis, a partial sequence of l6s rRNA was amplified by PCR using universally conserved primers. A modified method was applied for determination of CHO activity. Then, extracellular CHO activity was assessed under different temperature, pH and cholesterol concentration conditions. Finally, CHO gene was amplified by PCR and cloned into STV28. RESULTS: According to the morphological, cultural and biochemical tests, the isolated bacterium was identified as Rhodococcus sp. strain 501 and deposited in GenBank with accession number FN298676. Results showed that optimum temperature and pH for CHO activity were 35 degrees C and 7.5, respectively. Alignment of nucleotide sequence of CHO gene showed 99% homology with other bacterial CHO genes. CONCLUSION: Rhodococcus sp. strain 501 produced significant levels of extracellular CHO in an optimized medium for a short period. CHO gene was cloned into cloning vector that can be a valuable tool for better identification and further studies on gene expression.

Characterization and overproduction of cell-associated cholesterol oxidase ChoD from Streptomyces lavendulae YAKB-15.

Project description:Cholesterol oxidases are important enzymes with a wide range of applications from basic research to industry. In this study, we have discovered and described the first cell-associated cholesterol oxidase, ChoD, from Streptomyces lavendulae YAKB-15. This strain is a naturally high producer of ChoD, but only produces ChoD in a complex medium containing whole yeast cells. For characterization of ChoD, we acquired a draft genome sequence of S. lavendulae YAKB-15 and identified a gene product containing a flavin adenine dinucleotide binding motif, which could be responsible for the ChoD activity. The enzymatic activity was confirmed in vitro with histidine tagged ChoD produced in Escherichia coli TOP10, which lead to the determination of basic kinetic parameters with Km 15.9 µM and kcat 10.4/s. The optimum temperature and pH was 65 °C and 5, respectively. In order to increase the efficiency of production, we then expressed the cholesterol oxidase, choD, gene heterologously in Streptomyces lividans TK24 and Streptomyces albus J1074 using two different expression systems. In S. albus J1074, the ChoD activity was comparable to the wild type S. lavendulae YAKB-15, but importantly allowed production of ChoD without the presence of yeast cells.

Purification of histidase from Streptomyces griseus and nucleotide sequence of the hutH structural gene.

Project description:Histidine ammonia-lyase (histidase) was purified to homogeneity from vegetative mycelia of Streptomyces griseus. The enzyme was specific for L-histidine and showed no activity against the substrate analog, D-histidine. Histidinol phosphate was a potent competitive inhibitor. Histidase displayed saturation kinetics with no detectable sigmoidal response. Neither thiol reagents nor a variety of divalent cations had any effect on the activity of the purified enzyme. High concentrations of potassium cyanide inactivated histidase in the absence of its substrate or histidinol phosphate, suggesting that, as in other histidases, dehydroalanine plays an important role in catalysis. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of histidase was used to construct a mixed oligonucleotide probe to identify and clone the histidase structural gene, hutH, from genomic DNA of the wild-type strain of S. griseus. The cloned DNA restored the ability of a histidase structural gene mutant to grow on L-histidine as the sole nitrogen source. The deduced amino acid sequence of hutH shows significant relatedness with histidase from bacteria and a mammal as well as phenylalanine ammonia-lyase from plants and fungi.

Expression optimization, purification, and functional characterization of cholesterol oxidase from Chromobacterium sp. DS1.

Project description:Cholesterol oxidase is a bifunctional bacterial flavoenzyme which catalyzes oxidation and isomerization of cholesterol. This valuable enzyme has attracted a great deal of attention because of its wide application in the clinical laboratory, synthesis of steroid derived drugs, food industries, and its potentially insecticidal activity. Therefore, development of an efficient protocol for overproduction of cholesterol oxidase could be valuable and beneficial in this regard. The present study examined the role of various parameters (host strain, culture media, induction time, isopropyl ß-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside concentration, as well as post-induction incubation time and temperature) on over-expression of cholesterol oxidase from Chromobacterium sp. DS1. Applying the optimized protocol, the yield of recombinant cholesterol oxidase significantly increased from 92 U/L to 2115 U/L. Under the optimized conditions, the enzyme was produced on a large-scale, and overexpressed cholesterol oxidase was purified from cell lysate by column nickel affinity chromatography. Km and Vmax values of the purified enzyme for cholesterol were estimated using Lineweaver-Burk plot. Further, the optimum pH and optimum temperature for the enzyme activity were determined. This study reports a straightforward protocol for cholesterol oxidase production which can be performed in any laboratory.
