<p class="Els-Abstract-text">The <em>xyn</em>B gene of <em>Bacillus</em><em> subtilis</em> subsp. spizizenii W23 is predicted to encode a xylan 1,4-beta-xylosidase. Application of XynB enzymes in industries is wide. Production of this enzyme in its host cells is naturally restricted by repression process. It will give certain beneficial to over-expressed the enzymes in other host-cells under inducing promoter. This study aimed to clone the <em>xyn</em>B gene from <em>Bacillus</em><em> subtilis</em> subsp. spizizenii W23, to pMMB67EH plasmid, and to over-express the <em>xyn</em>B gene in <em>Escherichia coli </em>Origami as host cells. The <em>x</em><em>yn</em>B gene was successfully amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique using a pair of primers flanking the gene sequence and chromosomal DNA of the W23 strain as a template. The <em>xyn</em>B gene inserted in recombinant plasmid was confirmed by PCR detection using primers pair’s specific for <em>xyn</em>B gene and for the vector, then continued by restriction analyses.  The result showed that transformants clone 9 and 10 bear the recombinant pMMB-<em>xyn</em>B plasmid. The xylanase activity of <em>xyn</em>B gene in <em>Escherichia coli</em> Origami clone 10 was detected by sodium-dodecyl-sulfate polyacrylamide gel analyses and with addition of isopropyl-β-D-thio-galactoside (IPTG) as an inducer. The protein seem to be over-expressed as intra- and extra-cellular protein detected on SDS-PAGE gel. Result from xylan degrading activity on Luria-Bertani-xylan-IPTG plate with addition of Congo Red, showed that the cells with pMMB-<em>xyn</em>B recombinant plasmid have clear zone around the colonies while the transformant bearing an empty plasmid showed no clear zone. It could be concluded that the <em>xyn</em>B gene of <em>Bacillus subtilis</em> subsp.spizizenii W23 has been successfully been cloned on pMMB67EH plasmid and over-expressed in the <em>Escherichia coli</em> Origami cells as intra- and extra-cellular protein, as observed on SDS-PAGE gel analysis. The protein has activity on xylan degradation.</p>

Abstract The human fibrinogen B beta chain was expressed in Escherichia coli to study the functions of fibrinogen associated with this subunit. Recombinant B beta chains were expressed at 100 ng/mL in an IPTG- dependent manner. A first cistron sequence, inserted into the expression vector 5′ to the B beta chain cDNA, was required to express the protein. Recombinant B beta chains were expressed within five minutes after induction with IPTG and were soluble in physiologic buffers. The recombinant B beta chains migrated on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) at a rate identical to B beta chains from fibrinogen treated with N-glycanase. Recombinant B beta chains were cleaved by thrombin, as demonstrated by the loss of cross-reactivity with a monoclonal antibody (MoAb) specific for the undigested B beta 1–42 fragment. The levels of expression of the B beta chain were much lower than those reported previously for the gamma chain of fibrinogen expressed in a similar vector in E coli. However, these levels are sufficient to allow further characterization of this fibrinogen subunit.

Campylobacter Upsaliensis

Autolytic activity in the soluble and sediment fractions of sonicates of the spiral and the coccoid form of Campylobacter upsaliensis could not be demonstrated by native (nondenaturing) polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Autolysins were detected, however, by using denaturing sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) - PAGE gels containing either purified Escherichia coli peptidoglycan or whole cells of Micrococcus luteus (Micrococcus lysodeikticus) as the turbid substrate, with subsequent renaturation by treatment with Triton X-100 buffer. In renaturing gels that contained Escherichia coli peptidoglycan, 14 putative autolytic bands ranging from 200 to 12 kDa were detected. In similar gels containing whole cells of M. luteus, only a single band appeared with a molecular mass of 34 kDa. This band corresponded to one of the bands present in the gels containing Escherichia coli peptidoglycan. This common autolysin was isolated by adsorbing it from Campylobacter upsaliensis soluble fractions onto M. luteus cells and then subjecting these cells to renaturing SDS-PAGE in gels containing Escherichia coli peptidoglycan. The 34-kDa autolysin differed from a single 51-kDa autolysin unique to the M. luteus cells, and when isolated from an SDS-PAGE gel, was pure when tested by isoelectric focusing. The N-terminal amino acid sequence analysis showed the first 15 amino acids of the 34-kDa autolysin to have 67% identity to a part of antigenic protein PEB4 of Campylobacter jejuni. The purified autolysin was used to immunize rabbits and the antibodies produced precipitated autolytic activity from cell lysates. The specificity of the antibodies was shown by Western blotting: only a single specific band occurred, with a molecular mass of 34 kDa, and thus it seems unlikely that the 34-kDa autolysin was derived from any of the other autolysins that were detected.Key words: autolysin, Campylobacter upsaliensis, zymogram, murein hydrolase.

ABSTRACT The ywtD gene, which codes for an enzyme that degrades γ-polyglutamic acid (PGA), was cloned from Bacillus subtilis IFO16449. The gene is located immediately downstream of ywsC and ywtABC, a PGA operon involved in PGA biosynthesis, and it showed partial similarity to genes coding for dl-endopeptidase, a peptidoglycan-degrading enzyme. The ywtD gene, from which signal sequence is excised, was inserted into pET15b, and the recombinant plasmid was then transformed into Escherichia coli. Histidine-tagged YwtD was purified from sonicated cells of the transformant. The purified YwtD degraded PGA to yield two hydrolyzed products, a high-molecular-mass product (490 kDa with nearly 100% l-glutamic acid) and an 11-kDa product (with d-glutamic acid and l-glutamic acid in an 80:20 ratio). This finding and results of enzymatic analysis of the two products with carboxypeptidase G suggest that YwtD is a novel enzyme cleaving the γ-glutamyl bond only between d- and l-glutamic acids of PGA, and it may be designated γ-dl-glutamyl hydrolase.

Based on the (Gly4Ser)3 linker, theesat-6andcfp-10gene were fused for raising the antigenicity of single antigen. The DNA fragments ofesat-6andcfp-10were fused by splicing by overlapping extension (SOE) polymerase chain reaction (PCR),and the fusion gene esat-6-cfp-10 were cloned into pMD18-T vector, and then we got the recombinant plasmid pMD-esat-6-cfp-10. pMD-esat-6-cfp-10 and pET28a (+) were digested byBamHI andEcoRI double enzymes. The purified mpb esat-6-cfp-10 fusion gene was subcloned into the expression vector pET28a (+),and the prokaryotic expression vector pET-esat-6-cfp-10 was constructed. Plasmid containing pET-esat-6-cfp-10 was transformed into competenceEscherichia coliBL21(DE3).The bacterium was induced by isopropyl-β-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) and analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE),approximately 25 kDa exogenous protein was observed on the SDS-PAGE. The protein was analyzed by using Western-blotting. The results indicated that the protein was of antigenic activity ofMycobacterium bovis. These results could serve as a basis for further studies on the usefulness of the fusion gene and its expression product in the development of DNA vaccine; living carrier vaccine; subunit vaccine and diagnostic reagents against bovine tuberculosis.

Symbiosome development was studied in pea root nodules from plants growing in the absence of boron (B). Rhizobia released into the host cells of nodules from B-deficient plants developed to abnormal endophytic forms with an altered electrophoretic lipopolysaccharide pattern. Immunostaining after sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and electroblotting of nodule homogenates with antibodies that recognize glycoprotein components showed that two previously described lectin-like glycoproteins (PsNLEC-1A and PsNLEC-1B) did not harbor the carbohydrate epitope normally recognized by specific monoclonal antibodies. Material derived from B-deficient nodules, however, still contained three antigenic isoforms with similar electrophoretic mobilities to PsNLEC-1 isoforms A, B, and C. These could be detected following immunoblotting and immunostaining with a specific antiserum originating from the purified PsNLEC protein that had been heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. Immunogold localization of PsNLEC-1 sugar epitopes in B-deficient nodules showed that they were associated mostly with cytoplasmic vesicles rather than normal localization in the symbiosome compartment of mature infected cells. These results suggest that a modification of the glycosyl-moieties of PsNLEC-1 and an alteration of vesicle targeting occur during the development of pea nodules in the absence of B, and that these changes are associated with the development of aberrant nonfunctional symbiosomes.

ABSTRACT The abg locus of the Escherichia coli chromosome includes three genes encoding proteins (AbgA, AbgB, and AbgT) that enable uptake and utilization of the folate breakdown product, p-aminobenzoyl-glutamate (PABA-GLU). We report on the purification and characterization of the p-aminobenzoyl-glutamate hydrolase (PGH) holoenzyme encoded by abgA and abgB. One-step purification was accomplished using a plasmid carrying abgAB with a hexahistidine tag on the carboxyl terminus of AbgB and subsequent metal affinity chromatography (MAC). Analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) revealed two subunits (∼53-kDa and ∼47-kDa proteins) of the expected masses of AbgB and AbgA; N-terminal sequencing confirmed the subunit identification, and amino acid analysis yielded a 1:1 ratio of the subunits. Size exclusion chromatography coupled with light-scattering analysis of purified PGH revealed a predominant molecular mass of 206 kDa and a minor component of 400 to 500 kDa. Both peaks contained PGH activity, and SDS-PAGE revealed that fractions containing activity were composed of both AbgA and AbgB. MAC-purified PGH was highly stimulated by manganese chloride. Kinetic analysis of MAC-purified PGH revealed a Km value for PABA-GLU of 60 ± 0.08 μM and a specific activity of 63,300 ± 600 nmol min−1 mg−1. Folic acid and a variety of dipeptides served as poor substrates of PGH. This locus of the E. coli chromosome may encode a portion of a folate catabolism pathway.

The Synechococcus phytoene desaturase has been isolated from an overexpressing strain of Escherichia coli. The plasma pPDSde135 mediated the overexpression of the full-length polypeptide directly. The recombinant protein comprised 5% of the total cellular protein and was found predominantly in the inclusion body fraction. Urea was used to solubilize the recombinant protein from the inclusion fraction and the protein was subsequently purified to homogeneity on a DEAE-cellulose column. The purification scheme yielded 4.0 mg of homogeneous desaturase protein after a 20-fold purification, recovering 40% of the original protein from a 100 ml suspension culture of E. coli. The recombinant desaturase had an apparent molecular mass of 53 kDa on SDS/PAGE and crossreacted with an antiserum raised against the expressed protein. Desaturase activity was restored upon the removal of urea. The enzyme catalysed the conversion of phytoene to zeta-carotene via phytofluene. These products of the desaturase reaction existed predominantly in a cis configuration. Lipid replenishment enhanced activity. NAD+ and NADP+ were observed to be involved, whilst FAD was an ineffective electron acceptor.

Endoglucanases randomly hydrolyse the cellulose chains by acting upon internal β-1,4-D-glycosidic bonds and are used extensively in industrial applications. In this study, bacterial endoglucanase gene yhfE was obtained by PCR, using primers based on genomic sequences of Bacillus subtilis strains. 1041 bp DNA fragment of yhfE was cloned into Escherichia coli DH5α through the use of pTolT expression plasmid. PCR, restriction enzyme analysis and DNA sequencing were performed in order to confirm the cloning. E. coli BL21-AI cells expressed the yhfE after induction at 0.04% of arabinose concentration for 4 h. The expected 38.7 kDa size yhfE protein after digestion with thrombin of the His-tagged fusion protein (yhfE-TolAIII) was visualized by SDS-PAGE. The yhfE-TolAIII production yield was approximately 82 mg/L. The recombinant yhfE was characterized by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and CD analysis.

This study was carried out to analyze the suitability of the identification of four indigenous cellulose-producing acetic acid bacterial isolates (ANG29, KRE65, ANG32 and SAL53) based on the analysis of whole cellular protein profiles against identification based on phenotypic traits. Whole cellular protein profiles were determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) method. The whole cellular protein profiles obtained from sample isolates, were compared with reference isolates for species identification. The results showed that based on visual observations can be determined as much as 12 bands of protein with a molecular weight of 19,099 KDa up to 132.182 KDa. Based on the analysis of protein bands were detected visually, fourth indigenous cellulose- producing acetic acid bacterial isolates in the study had a higher similarity profile to the reference strain Gluconacetobacter xylinus BTCC 769 compared with other reference strains namely G. hansenii NBRC 14820T. This condition is consistent with the results of the identification of fourth cellulose producing acetic acid bacterial isolates based on phenotypic traits. Thus, the whole cellular protein profiles by SDS-PAGE technique can be used as a one of method to identification of cellulose producing acetic acid bacterial isolates.
