柱状黄杆菌乙酰辅酶A合成酶基因及其上游调控序列分析

柱状黄杆菌(Flavobacterium columnare)是世界范围内危害淡水鱼类的柱形病的病原。目前对该病原菌遗传操作系统的研究进展较慢,而寻找高效稳定的启动子来调控外源基因在细菌体内的表达,有可能促进该细菌遗传操作系统的构建。本研究获得了柱状黄杆菌乙酰辅酶A合成酶基因(acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase gene,acs)的编码序列及其上游调控序列,该基因全长2 323 bp,编码635个氨基酸。通过序列分析,发现在该基因起始密码子ATG的上游存在核糖体结合位点(ribosome biding site,RBS)序列TAAAA,和启动子–7和–33的保守基序TATTTTCG和TTG。将acs的上游调控序列(promoter sequence,Pacs)置于氯霉素抗性基因(chloramphenicol acetyltransferase,cat)的上游并导入柱状黄杆菌G4株后,cat基因得以表达,并使宿主细胞产生稳定的氯霉素抗性。通过5′RACE技术,确定了外源的cat基因和内源的acs基因的转录起始位点都是位于起始密码子上游46 bp处的T。通过删减分析调控序列Pacs,发现起...

Acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase gene and its upstream promoter in the bacterial pathogen Flavobacterium columnare

Flavobacterium columnare,the etiological agent of columnaris disease,is one of the most important bacterial pathogens of freshwater fish in the world.However,suitable genetic manipulation of this bacterium which has been challenging and producing genetic mutations in this bacterium has not been reported.Therefore,isolation of an effective promoter in F.columnare may provide tools for the development of a genetic manipula-tion system in the bacterium.In this study,the acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase gene(acs) a...
