Construction Fermentation of Engineered Strain and Properties of Recombinant ?-glutamyltranspeptidase / 中国生物工程杂志

The ?glutamyltranspeptidase encoding gene(ggt) from Bacillus subtilis SYU 20016 was amplified by PCR. The ggt gene was inserted in pBV220 to yield the recombinant expression vector pBV220ggt. Overexpression of ggt in E.coli JM109 was achieved with pBV220ggt. SDSPAGE analysis showed an overexpressed recombinant product at about 65kDa,consistent with the molecular weight predicted from gene sequence. The ferment conditions of r-glutamyltranspeptidase were also discussed. The optimum temperature and pH for the enzyme were determined as 30℃ and 7.2 respectively.The cultures were incubated at 42℃ for 4h with broth volume 20ml/250ml flask and the yield of 6U/ml was obtained, enzyme activity of B. subtilis NX2 was only 3.2 U/ml.

Construction of shuttle vectors for cloning in Vibrio cholerae and Escherichia coli.

Starting from a naturally occurring cryptic plasmid pVC540 of Vibrio cholerae non-OI. strain 1095, a number of plasmid vectors have been constructed for cloning genes in Vibrio cholerae by introducing antibiotic resistance markers containing a set of unique cloning sites. The constructs pVC810 and pVE920 have the origins of both Vibrio cholerae and Escherichia coli replicons and are stable in both organisms in the absence of selective pressure. These plasmids can serve as shuttle vectors between Escherichia coli and Vibrio cholerae. The plasmid vectors reported here along with the demonstration of transformation in Vibrio cholerae by plasmid DNA will facilitate genetic analysis of this important human pathogen.

CLONING OF NATTOKINASE GENE AND EXPRESSION IN E. COLI / 微生物学通报

In this study, nattokinase gene was amplified by PCR using bacillus subtilis chromosomal DNA as template and cloned into expressed vector pBV220. After transforming recombinant plasmid into E.coli HB101, the recombinant strain was yielded. It was proved that expression products was secretive and expression protein was 12% of total cell protein by SDS-PAGE. Optimum culture time and inducing time was determined as 6h and 5h respectively. The plasmid stability studies showed that recombinant plasmid has excellent segregational stability but the structural stability was not good in the host cell.
