To confirm that the hdcA gene from Staph. capitis IFIJ12 encodes a functional HDC, we expressed this gene in E. coli following the strategy described in the Materials and Methods section, consisting in amplifying the genes by PCR and cloning the products under the control of the T7 RNA polymerase-inducible /10 promoter.
Cell extracts were used to detect the presence of hyperproduced proteins by SDS-PAGE analysis. Control cells containing the pT7-7 vector plasmid alone did not show expression over the 3-h time course analysed, whereas expression of additional 34Æ2-kDa protein was apparent with cells harbouring pAM28 (Fig. 2ai). In addition, cell extracts from E. coli JM109(DE3) (pLysS) cells harbouring the recombinant plasmid pAM28 were able to decarboxylate the histidine present in the reaction to histamine, whereas extracts prepared from control cells containing the vector plasmid alone did not. Figure 2(bi) shows a TLC analysis of the enzymatic reaction. Thus, we could prove experimentally that the hdcA gene encodes a functional
HDC.
As the protein was cloned containing a purification poli-His tag, HDC was purified on a His-TrapTM-FF crude chelating column and eluted with a stepwise gradient of imidazole. Highly purified HDC protein was obtained from pAM28 (Fig. 2aii). The eluted HDC protein was dialysed to eliminate the imidazole, and checked for HDC activity. TLC analysis demonstrated that highly purified HDC protein was able to decarboxylate histidine to form histamine (Fig. 2bii).
The predicted sequence of the HDC was aligned with HDC proteins from Gram-positive bacteria (Fig. S1). As deduced from the HDC alignment, most of the residues implicated in catalysis and substrate binding in the HDC from Lactobacillus 30a (Gallagher et al. 1989) are conserved in the Staph. capitis enzyme. However, the residue Ala-260, forming the hydrophobic pocket, is not conserved in the Staph. capitis HDC protein, and a Gly residue is present in its place.
In addition to the wild-type HDC enzymes, a number of mutants that produce partially active or inactive enzymes have been isolated (Recsei and Snell, 1982, Van Poelje et al. 1990). More interestingly, mutant 3 of HDC from Lactobacillus 30a, which produces a full-length protein that is slowly autoactivated, shows only one amino acid replacement at position 58 (G58A), the Gly amino acid residue is conserved at this position in all HDC, with exception of Staph. capitis HDC with a Asn residue present in its place. An autoactivation assay was performed in order to know if S. capitis HDC follows a similar slow autoactivation. The result shows that along incubation, Staph. capitis HDC seems to be degraded instead to be autocleaved into an a chain (23 kDa) and a β chain (11.5 kDa) (Fig. 3).
要确认,从金黄色葡萄球菌基因hdcA。凯普迪森IFIJ12 HDC的编码功能,我们在大肠杆菌中表达了这种基因后的材料和方法部分的PCR扩增的基因和克隆下的T7 RNA聚合酶诱导/ 10启动子控制的产品组成,描述的策略。
细胞提取物被用来检测存在hyperproduced经SDS - PAGE分析蛋白质。控制细胞含有质粒pT7 - 7质粒单独并没有表现出比3 - H的时间分析过程中的表达,而更多的34Æ2 - kDa的蛋白表达,与细胞窝藏pAM28(图2ai)明显。此外,从大肠杆菌细胞提取物 大肠杆菌JM109中(DE3)中(pLysS中)细胞重组质粒pAM28窝藏能够decarboxylate在本组氨酸为组胺反应,从控制细胞制备含有载体质粒提取物,而仅仅没有。图2(双向)显示了酶促反应薄层色谱分析。因此,我们可以实验证明,该基因编码一个功能hdcA
HDC公司。
由于蛋白的克隆含有净化波利,他的标签,HDC公司在他的分离纯化,TrapTM -法郎螯合柱原油及一个咪唑逐步梯度洗脱。 HDC的高纯度蛋白得到pAM28(图2aii)。 HDC的蛋白的洗脱透析消除咪唑,以及HDC的活动进行检查。 薄层色谱分析表明,HDC的高度纯化的蛋白质能够decarboxylate组氨酸形成组胺(图2bii)。
该HDC的预测序列与从革兰氏阳性菌(图中一)HDC的蛋白质。由推导的HDC的路线,Z有牵连在催化底物的残留物和具有约束力的HDC从乳酸菌30A条(加拉格尔等。1989年)在金黄色葡萄球菌是保守。凯普迪森酶。但是,残留阿拉- 260,形成了疏水口袋,是不是在金黄色葡萄球菌保守。凯普迪森HDC的蛋白质,以及甘氨酸残留在其在场。
除了野生型HDC的酶,突变产生的部分酶的活性或无效了一些孤立的(雷切伊和斯内尔,1982年,凡Poelje等。1990)。更有趣的是,3株乳酸菌30A条,产生一个完整长度的蛋白质,是慢慢autoactivated HDC的,只显示了一个在58位氨基酸置换(G58A),甘氨酸的氨基酸,是在这个所有HDC的立场保守,与金黄色葡萄球菌例外。凯普迪森HDC公司在其与地方的ASN残留存在。一个autoactivation法检测演出,为了知道南凯普迪森HDC的如下类似的缓慢autoactivation。结果表明,沿孵化,金黄色葡萄球菌。 凯普迪森HDC公司似乎退化,而不是要成为一个α链(23 kDa的)和β链(11。分子量5)(图3)autocleaved。
