Screening and molecular classification of low-temperature protease from Antarctic microorganism and its characterization

<正> 107 strains producing protease were screened from 260 strains of Ant-arctic psychrophilic bacteria,among which proteolytic activity of five strains wasmore than 45 U ml~(-1).The 16S rRNA gene sequences homology and phylogenet-ic analysis of five Antarctic psychrophilic bacteria showed that NJ276、NJ5-9、NJ16-70、NJ345 belonged to the described genus Pseudoalteromonas and NJ341belonged to the genus Colwellia.The growth and the protease characteristic offour Antarctic psychrophilic bacteria had been studied,and the result showedthat the optimal temperature for growth and protease-producing of four strainswas about 10℃.Their growth and protease-producing were still high during in-cubating 2-5 days.The maximum proteolytic activity occurred at pH 9 for fourAntarctic psychrophilic bacteria.The optimal temperature of protease action ofboth strains NJ276 and NJ5-9 was about 50℃,however,the optimal temperatureof protease action of both strains NJ341 and NJ345 was about 40℃,and theirproteolytic activity under 0℃ exhibited nearly 30% of the maximum activity,but their thermal stabilities were weaker.These results indicated that proteasesfrom NJ341 and NJ345 were low-temperature proteases.     

Screening and molecular classification of low-temperature protease from Antarctic microorganism and its characterization

107 strains producing protease were screened from 260 strains of Antarctic psychrophilic bacteria, among which proteolytic activity of five strains was more than 45 U ml^-1. The 16S rRNA gcne sequences homology and phylogcnetic analysis of five Antarctic psychrophillc bacteria showed that NJ276, NJS-9, NJ16-70,NJ345 belonged tO the described genus Pseudoalteromonas and NJ341 belonged to the genus Colwellia. The growth and the protease characteristic of four Antarctic psychrophilic bacteria had been studied, and the result showed that the 6ptimal temperature for growth and protease-produeing of four strains was about 10℃. Their growth and protease-produeing were still high during incubatlng 2-5 days. The maximum proteolytic activity occurred at pH 9 for four Antarctic psychrophilic bacteria. The optimal temperature of protease action of both strains NJ276 and NJ5-9 was about 50℃, however, the optimal temperature of protease aetlon of both strains NJ341 and NJ345 was about 40 ℃, and their proteolytic activity under 0℃ exhibited nearly 30% of the maximum activity, but their thermal stabilities were weaker. These results indicated that proteases from NJ341 and NJ345 were low-temperature proteases.

海洋链霉菌分离株M095遗传转化体系的建立

研究了海洋链霉菌分离株M095的基因转移系统。利用属间接合转移将具有oriT的大肠杆菌-链霉菌穿梭质粒pIJ8600转入EscherichiacoliET12567(pUZ8002)中,获得供体菌。将供体菌与预萌发的菌株M095的孢子进行接合转移,将质粒pIJ8600转入菌株M095中,其转化率为1.99×10-4个接合转化子/受体。Southern杂交证明质粒pIJ8600已经整合到菌株M095的染色体上。同时,将来自Spirulinamaxima(Cyanophyta)的别藻蓝蛋白基因(apc)克隆在质粒pIJ8600的XbaI和BglII位点,产生质粒pAPIJ。用接合转移法将质粒pAPIJ转入菌株M095。通过SDS-PAGE分析,得到2个大小为22ku和17ku的蛋白,分别相对应于别藻蓝蛋白的α和β亚基。这些结果进一步证明菌株M095的遗传转化体系已经成功建立起来,这将为其他海洋放线菌遗传转化工作的研究奠定基础。
