木质素过氧化物酶LiPH2合成基因在毕赤酵母中的表达

应用化学合成方法获得了碱基序列优化后的木质素过氧化物酶LiPH2合成基因.分别将去除和含有自身信号肽的合成基因与几种选定的表达载体连接,并转化进入相应的Pichiapastoris宿主菌中,共构建了8个不同的毕赤酵母表达系统.对酵母转化子基因及对其发酵液中重组蛋白的分析结果表明,其中1个表达系统的酵母转化子能够成功分泌LiPH2重组蛋白.同时,对影响目的基因表达的各种因素的分析结果表明:就不同宿主菌而言,SMD1168与表达成功的X-33受体菌在其余因素相同的情况下无分泌蛋白表达,pep4基因的缺失对LiPH2蛋白的表达有不利影响;;就不同分泌信号肽而言,与α因子信号肽相比,LiPH2自身信号肽更有利于引导LiPH2的分泌表达;;就不同表达载体而言,其对外源蛋白的表达存在较大差别.本研究中得到的重组蛋白分子量有所增加,说明很可能存在过度糖基化的影响,过度糖基化和C-端氨基酸的增加可能是造成表达蛋白没有活性的原因.     

Biodegradation of phenol and m-cresol by mutated Candida tropicalis

The phenol and m-cresol biodegradations were studied using the mutant strain CTM 2 obtained by the He-Ne laser irradiation on wild-type Candida tropicalis. The results showed that C. tropicalis exhibited the increased capacity of phenolic compounds degradation after laser irradiation. It could degrade 2600 mg/L phenol and 300 mg/L m-cresol by 5% inoculum concentration, respectively. In the dual-substrate biodegradation system, 0–500 mg/L phenol could accelerate m-cresol biodegradation, and 300 mg/L m-cresol could be completely utilized within 46 hr at the presence of 350 mg/L phenol. Besides, the maximum biodegradation of m-cresol could reach 350 mg/L with 80 mg/L phenol within 61 hr. Obviously, phenol, as a growth substrate, could promote CTM 2 to degrade m-cresol, and was always preferentially utilized as carbon source. Comparatively, low-concentration m-cresol could result in a great inhibition on phenol degradation. In addition, the kinetic behaviors of cell growth and substrate biodegradation were described by kinetic model proposed in our laboratory.

粘红酵母△12-脂肪酸脱氢酶基因的克隆和表达

Δ12-脂肪酸脱氢酶一般特异性催化在油酸的Δ12位引入双键转变成亚油酸.为了从粘红酵母YM25079中克隆全长Δ12-脂肪酸脱氢酶基因序列,参考已知的Δ12-脂肪酸脱氢酶基因序列设计基因特异性引物,通过PCR扩增获得到全长为1 353 bp的c DNA序列,序列分析结果表明该序列具有一个编码450个氨基酸的完整开放阅读框,所编码蛋白质的大小为50.9×103.与报道的Δ12-脂肪酸脱氢酶一样,推测的氨基酸序列具有膜整合脂肪酸脱氢酶特异性的3个组氨酸保守区,表明该序列为一个新的编码Δ12-脂肪酸脱氢酶的基因.为了验证其功能,把开放阅读框序列亚克隆到表达载体p YES3/CT,构建重组表达载体p YRGD12,并转化到酿酒酵母的缺陷型菌株INVScl进行表达.脂肪酸气相色谱(GC)分析表明,该序列所编码的蛋白质具有Δ12-脂肪酸脱氢酶活性,能将油酸转化为亚油酸,亚油酸的含量占酵母总脂肪酸的4.31%.以上结果表明,PCR所获得序列是新的Δ12-脂肪酸脱氢酶基因.
