Abstract Background Currently, Streptomyces is widely used in the preparation of phospholipase D (PLD) with high transphosphatidylation activity. However, the yield of PLD from Streptomyces was low and the culture period was long. Therefore, an efficient and cost-effective method is needed urgently.Results Firstly, PLDs from Streptomyces PMF and Streptomyces racemochromogenes were separately over-expressed in E. coli to compare their transphosphatidylation activity based on the synthesis of phosphatidylserine (PS), and PLDPMF was determined to have higher activity. To further improve PLDPMF synthesis, a secretory expression system suitable for PLDPMF was constructed and optimized with different signal peptides. The highest secretory efficiency was observed when the PLDPMF gene was expressed together with its native signal peptide (Nat) and the signal peptide PelB from E. coli. For the application of recombinant PLD to PS synthesis, the PLD properties were characterized and 30.2 g/L of PS was produced after 24 h of bioconversion when 50 g/L phosphatidylcholine (PC) was added.Conclusions We succeeded in over-expressing PLD from Streptomyces PMF in E. coli with high transphosphatidylation activity and enhanced the yield by secretory expression. The secreted PLD was successfully used in the production of PS. Our work makes the large-scale production of PLD and PS feasible.

Human serum albumin (HSA) is the most abundant protein in blood plasm. This protein consisted of 585 amino acids with a molecular weight of 66 kDa and 17 disulfide bonds. HSA obtained from conventional technique allow viral or prion contamination. For that reason, recombinant DNA technology becomes a promising alternative. Because of its well-known genetic, simplicity, and capacity to accommodate many foreign protein, Escherichia coli remains the most widely used in the production of recombinant proteins. But, overproduction of protein may lead to the formation of inclusion bodies and proteolytic degradation. These problems can be overcome by using protease-deficient strain and protein secretion into periplasmic space. The objective of this research is to secrete recombinant HA on E. coli BL21(DE3) using TorA signal peptide and proved using SDS-PAGE. This research method begins with the preparation of competent cell and transformation of E. coli BL21(DE3), expression of recombinant HA in E. coli BL21(DE3), and characterization of expression result by using SDS-PAGE. The result of this study was rHSA can be secreted into extracellular medium using TorA signal peptide with a molecular weight of ± 66.5 kDa.

To achieve efficient bio-production of phospholipase D (PLD), PLDs from different organisms were expressed in E.coli. An efficient secretory expression system was thereby developed for PLD. First, PLDs from Streptomyces PMF and Streptomyces racemochromogenes were separately over-expressed in E.coli to compare their transphosphatidylation activity based on the synthesis of phosphatidylserine (PS), and PLDPMF was determined to have higher activity. To further improve PLDPMF synthesis, a secretory expression system suitable for PLDPMF was constructed and optimized with different signal peptides. The highest secretory efficiency was observed when the PLD * (PLDPMF with the native signal peptide Nat removed) was expressed fused with the fusion signal peptide PelB-Nat in E. coli. The fermentation conditions were also investigated to increase the production of recombinant PLD and 10.5 U/mL PLD was ultimately obtained under the optimized conditions. For the application of recombinant PLD to PS synthesis, the PLD properties were characterized and 30.2 g/L of PS was produced after 24 h of bioconversion when 50 g/L phosphatidylcholine (PC) was added.

Background: Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) expressed in engineered Escherichia coli (E. coli) as a recombinant protein is utilized as an adjunct to chemotherapy for improving neutropenia. Recombinant proteins overexpression may lead to the creation of inclusion bodies whose recovery is a tedious and costly process. To overcome the problem of inclusion bodies, secretory production might be used. To achieve a mature secretory protein product, suitable signal peptide (SP) selection is a vital step. Objective: In the present study, we aimed at in silico evaluation of proper SPs for secretory production of recombinant G-CSF in E. coli. Methods: Signal peptide website and UniProt were used to collect the SPs and G-CSF sequences. Then, SignalP were utilized in order to predict the SPs and location of their cleavage site. Physicochemical features and solubility were investigated by ProtParam and Protein-sol tools. Fusion proteins sub-cellular localization was predicted by ProtCompB. Results: LPP, ELBP, TSH, HST3, ELBH, AIDA and PET were excluded according to SignalP. The highest aliphatic index belonged to OMPC, TORT and THIB and PPA. Also, the highest GRAVY belonged to OMPC, ELAP, TORT, BLAT, THIB, and PSPE. Furthermore, G-CSF fused with all SPs were predicted as soluble fusion proteins except three SPs. Finally, we found OMPT, OMPF, PHOE, LAMB, SAT, and OMPP can translocate G-CSF into extracellular space. Conclusion: Six SPs were suitable for translocating G-CSF into the extracellular media. Although growing data indicate that the bioinformatics approaches can improve the precision and accuracy of studies, further experimental investigations and recent patents explaining several inventions associated to the clinical aspects of SPs for secretory production of recombinant GCSF in E. coli are required for final validation.

AbstractMicrobial rhodopsins are photoswitchable seven-transmembrane proteins that are widely distributed in three domains of life, archaea, bacteria and eukarya. Rhodopsins allow the transport of protons outwardly across the membrane and are indispensable for light-energy conversion in microorganisms. Archaeal and bacterial proton pump rhodopsins have been characterized using an Escherichia coli expression system because that enables the rapid production of large amounts of recombinant proteins, whereas no success has been reported for eukaryotic rhodopsins. Here, we report a phylogenetically distinct eukaryotic rhodopsin from the dinoflagellate Oxyrrhis marina (O. marina rhodopsin-2, OmR2) that can be expressed in E. coli cells. E. coli cells harboring the OmR2 gene showed an outward proton-pumping activity, indicating its functional expression. Spectroscopic characterization of the purified OmR2 protein revealed several features as follows: (1) an absorption maximum at 533 nm with all-trans retinal chromophore, (2) the possession of the deprotonated counterion (pKa = 3.0) of the protonated Schiff base and (3) a rapid photocycle through several distinct photointermediates. Those features are similar to those of known eukaryotic proton pump rhodopsins. Our successful characterization of OmR2 expressed in E. coli cells could build a basis for understanding and utilizing eukaryotic rhodopsins.

AbstractUropathogenic strains of E. coli isolated from urine of patients with urinary tract infections were tested for antibiotic sensitivity using bio-Merieux kits and ATB-UR 5 expression system. The virulence of strains was evaluated by serum bactericidal assay, macrophage “killing” and bacterial adhesive tests. Survival capability of strains was assessed under starvation in saline. The results showed that quinolone-resistant uropathogenic strains of E. coli exhibit significantly reduced adhesive potential but relatively high resistance to serum and macrophage bactericidity. In contrast to laboratory strains, the quinolone-resistant uropathogenic clinical isolate demonstrated increased viability during starvation in saline. Our study suggests that quinolone-resistant uropathogenic strains are highly adaptable clones of E. coli, which can exhibit compensatory viability potential under unfavorable conditions. The clinical occurrence of such phenotypes is likely to contribute to the survival, persistence and spread strategy of resistant bacteria.

ABSTRACT Maturation of [FeFe] hydrogenases requires the biosynthesis and insertion of the catalytic iron-sulfur cluster, the H cluster. Two radical S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) proteins proposed to function in H cluster biosynthesis, HydEF and HydG, were recently identified in the hydEF-1 mutant of the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (M. C. Posewitz, P. W. King, S. L. Smolinski, L. Zhang, M. Seibert, and M. L. Ghirardi, J. Biol. Chem. 279:25711-25720, 2004). Previous efforts to study [FeFe] hydrogenase maturation in Escherichia coli by coexpression of C. reinhardtii HydEF and HydG and the HydA1 [FeFe] hydrogenase were hindered by instability of the hydEF and hydG expression clones. A more stable [FeFe] hydrogenase expression system has been achieved in E. coli by cloning and coexpression of hydE, hydF, and hydG from the bacterium Clostridium acetobutylicum. Coexpression of the C. acetobutylicum maturation proteins with various algal and bacterial [FeFe] hydrogenases in E. coli resulted in purified enzymes with specific activities that were similar to those of the enzymes purified from native sources. In the case of structurally complex [FeFe] hydrogenases, maturation of the catalytic sites could occur in the absence of an accessory iron-sulfur cluster domain. Initial investigations of the structure and function of the maturation proteins HydE, HydF, and HydG showed that the highly conserved radical-SAM domains of both HydE and HydG and the GTPase domain of HydF were essential for achieving biosynthesis of active [FeFe] hydrogenases. Together, these results demonstrate that the catalytic domain and a functionally complete set of Hyd maturation proteins are fundamental to achieving biosynthesis of catalytic [FeFe] hydrogenases.

E. coli is a gram-negative bacteria used mainly in academia and in some industrial scenarios, as a protein production workhorse. This is due to its ease of manipulation and the range of genetic tools available. This protocol describes how to express proteins in the periplasm E. coli with the strain BL21 (DE3) using a T7 expression system. Specifically, it describes a series of steps and tips to express "hard-to-express" proteins in E. coli, as for instance, LPMOs. The protocol is adapted from Hemsworth, G. R., Henrissat, B., Davies, G. J., and Walton, P. H. (2014) Discovery and characterization of a new family of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases. Nat. Chem. Biol.10, 122–126. .

Aims: Bioinformatics analysis of suitable signal peptide for recombinant glucarpidase. Background: Methotrexate (MTX) is a general chemotherapeutic agent utilized to treat a variety of malignancies., woefully, its high doses can cause nephrotoxicity and subsequent defect in the process of MTX excretion. The recombinant form of glucarpidase, is produced by engineered E. coli and is a confirmed choice to overcoming this problem. Objective: In the present study, in silico analyses were performed to select suitable SPs for the secretion of recombinant glucarpidase in E. coli. Methods: The signal peptide website and UniProt database were employed to collect the SPs and protein sequences. In the next step, SignalP-5.0 helped us to predict the SPs and the position of cleavage sites. Moreover, physicochemical properties and solubility were evaluated using ProtParam and Protein-sol online software, and finally, ProtCompB was used to predict the final sub-cellular localization. Results: Luckily, all SPs could form soluble fusion proteins. At last, it was found that PPB and TIBA could translocate the glucarpidase into the extracellular compartment. Conclusion: This study showed that there are only 2 applicable SPs for the extracellular translocation of glucarpidase. Although the findings were remarkable with high degrees of accuracy and precision based on the utilization of bioinformatics analyses, additional experimental assessments are required to confirm and validate it. Recent patents revealed several inventions related to the clinical aspects of vaccine peptide against human disorders.
