Gene cloning and characterization of a novel recombinant antifungal chitinase from papaya (Carica papaya)

A chitinase cDNA clone (CpCHI, 1002 bp) was isolated from papaya fruit, which encoded a 275 amino acid protein containing a 28 amino acid signal peptide in the N-terminal end. The predicted molecular mass of the mature protein was 26.2 kDa, and its pI value was 6.32. On the basis of its amino acid sequence homology with other plant chitinases, it was classified as a class IV chitinase. An active recombinant CpCHI enzyme was overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The purified recombinant papaya chitinase showed an optimal reaction temperature at 30 degrees C and a broad optimal pH ranging from 5.0 to 9.0. The recombinant enzyme was quite stable, retaining >64% activity for 3 weeks at 30 degrees C. The spore germination of Alternaria brassicicola could be completely inhibited by a 76 nM level of recombinant CpCHI. Recombinant CpCHI also showed antibacterial activity in which 50% of E. coli was inhibited by a 2.5 microM concentration of the enzyme.     

Synthesis of 1-piperideine-6-carboxylic acid produced by L-lysine-epsilon-aminotransferase from the Streptomyces clavuligerus gene expressed in Escherichia coli

The gene (lat) encoding L-lysine epsilon-aminotransferase (LAT) in Streptomyces clavuligerus was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Nucleotide sequence analysis of lat predicted a single open reading frame (ORF) of 1371 bp, encoding a polypeptide of 457 amino acids with calculated molecular mass of 49.89 kDa. S. clavuligerus LAT was grouped into aminotransferase subfamily II of alpha family on the basis of sequence homology. A model system composed of the recombinant LAT in phosphate buffer was set up to study the biosynthesis of 2-acetyltetrahydropyridine. Lysine was found to be transformed to 1-piperideine-6-carboxylic acid. 2-Acetyltetrahydropyridine was characterized from the mixture of 1-piperideine-6-carboxylic acid and methylglyoxal. For the first time, we demonstrated that the L-lysine epsilon-aminotransferase is responsible for the formation of 1-piperideine-6-carboxylic acid, which may react with methylglyoxal to generate the acylated N-heterocyclic odorant 2-acetyltetrahydropyridine.

Molecular cloning and characterization of the gene encoding cold-active beta-galactosidase from a psychrotrophic and halotolerant Planococcus sp. L4

The gene bgaP encoding cold-active beta-galactosidase from a psychrotrophic and halotolerant Planococcus sp. L4 was cloned into Escherichia coli and sequenced. A sequence analysis of the DNA responsible for the BgaP gene revealed an open reading frame of 2031 bp encoding for a protein of 677 amino acid residues. The BgaP was heterologously expressed in E. coli and purified followed by Ni2+ affinity chromatography. The molecular mass of the native enzyme was approximately 156 kDa as determined by gel filtration. The results of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and the deduced amino acid sequence of the BgaP indicated molecular masses of 78 and 77.311 kDa, respectively, suggesting that the BgaP is a dimer. The purified BgaP had an isoelectric point of 4.8 and exhibited maximal activity at 20 degrees C and pH 6.8 under the assay conditions used. The enzyme is particularly thermolabile, losing all activity in only 10 min at 45 degrees C. It was able to hydrolyze lactose as a substrate, as well as o-nitrophenyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside (ONPG); the Km values with ONPG and lactose were calculated to be 5.4 and 20.4 mM at 5 degrees C, respectively. The catalytic efficiencies of BagP for lactose at 5 and 20 degrees C had 14 and 47 times more than that of E. coli beta-galactosidase at 20 degrees C, respectively. Therefore, cold-active beta-galactosidase from the psychrotrophic and halotolerant Planococcus sp. L4 could conceivably be developed to fulfill the practical requirements to enable its use for lactose removal in milk and dairy products at low temperature or a reporter enzyme for psychrophilic genetic systems.

Cloning and expression of an acidic pectin methylesterase from jelly fig (Ficus awkeotsang)

Pectin methylesterase (PME) is the key enzyme responsible for the gelation of jelly curd in the water extract of jelly fig (Ficus awkeotasang) achenes. The jelly fig PME extracted from achenes was isoelectrofocused at pH 2.5 and subjected to N-terminal amino acid sequencing. A cDNA fragment encoding the mature protein of this acidic PME was obtained by PCR cloning using a poly(T) primer and a degenerate primer designed according to the N-terminal sequence of the purified PME. The complete cDNA sequence of its precursor protein was further obtained by PCR using the same strategy. The PME clone was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, and its expressed protein was immunologically recognized as strongly as the original antigen using antibodies against purified PME. Fractionation analysis revealed that the overexpressed PME was predominantly present in the pellet and thus presumably formed insoluble inclusion bodies in E. coli cells.

Biotransformation of the neonicotinoid insecticide thiacloprid by the bacterium Variovorax boronicumulans strain J1 and mediation of the major metabolic pathway by nitrile hydratase

A neonicotinoid insecticide thiacloprid-degrading bacterium strain J1 was isolated from soil and identified as Variovorax boronicumulans by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance analysis indicated the major pathway of thiacloprid (THI) metabolism by V. boronicumulans J1 involved hydrolysis of the N-cyanoimino group to form an N-carbamoylinino group containing metabolite, THI amide. Resting cells of V. boronicumulans J1 degraded 62.5% of the thiacloprid at a concentration of 200 mg/L in 60 h, and 98% of the reduced thiacloprid was converted to the final metabolite thiacloprid amide. A 2.6 kb gene cluster from V. boronicumulans J1 that includes the full length of the nitrile hydratase gene was cloned and investigated by degenerate primer polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and inverse PCR. The nitrile hydratase gene has a length of 1304 bp and codes a cobalt-type nitrile hydratase with an α-subunit of 213 amino acids and a β-subunit of 221 amino acids. The nitrile hydratase gene was recombined into plasmid pET28a and overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The resting cells of recombinant E. coli BL21 (DE3)-pET28a-NHase with overexpression of nitrile hydratase transformed thiacloprid to its amide metabolite, whereas resting cells of the control E. coli BL21 (DE3)-pET28a did not. Therefore, the major hydration pathway of thiacloprid is mediated by nitrile hydratase.
