摘要:

研究旨在克隆新的四氢嘧啶合成基因簇,并对其功能进行鉴定,为应用于四氢嘧啶的生产奠定基础。从新喀里多尼亚弧菌CGJ02-2中克隆获得四氢嘧啶合成基因簇ectABC,ectABC与表达载体pBAD连接后转化至大肠杆菌BW25113中,通过L-阿拉伯糖诱导表达。采用SDS-PAGE和液质联用鉴定重组表达蛋白,利用全细胞催化合成四氢嘧啶,通过高分辨质谱鉴定四氢嘧啶,并从天冬氨酸浓度、KCl浓度、温度和pH 4个方面优化催化条件。结果表明,来自新喀里多尼亚弧菌CGJ02-2 基因组的ectABC大小为2 235 bp。SDS-PAGE显示表达产物中有3个重组蛋白产生, 液质联用鉴定表明其分子量分别与ectA、ectB、ectC的理论分子量一致。高分辨质谱分析发现全细胞催化上清中有四氢嘧啶产生。优化后的最适全细胞催化条件为:天冬氨酸浓度100 mmol·L-1,KCl浓度100 mmol·L-1,温度30 ℃,pH 7.0,最优条件下产量为1.11 mg·mL-1。研究从弧菌中克隆了四氢嘧啶合成基因簇ectABC,并在大肠杆菌BW25113中实现了异源表达和低盐环境下的四氢嘧啶合成,为大规模发酵生产四氢嘧啶奠定了基础。

Abstract:

This study aimed to clone and functionally characterize ectABC gene cluster so as to lay a foundation for the production of ectoine. The ectABC gene cluster was cloned from Vibrio neocaledonicus CGJ02-2 by PCR and ligated to expression vector pBAD, which was transformed into Escherichia coli BW25113 and expressed with L-arabinose induction. The recombinant protein was detected by SDS-PAGE and authenticated by LC-MS. The whole cell biocatalysis was used to synthesize ectoine, and high resolution mass spectrum was employed to identify the production of ectoine, the catalysis conditions were optimized regarding to aspartate concentration, KCl concentration, temperature and pH. Results showed the size of ectABC gene cluster from the genome of Vibrio neocaledonicus CGJ02-2 was 2 235 bp. Three recombinant proteins were detected in the expression product by SDS-PAGE, and LC-MS analysis indicated that the molecular weight of the three recombinant proteins is consistent with the theoretical molecular weight of ectA, ectB, ectC, respectively. High resolution tandem mass spectrum identification found that ectoine was produced in the supernatant of whole cell catalysis. The optimal catalysis conditions obtained as follows: aspartate concentration 100 mmol·L-1, KCl concentration 100 mmol·L-1, temperature 30 ℃, pH 7 with a yield of 1.11 mg·mL-1. In this study, the gene cluster ectABC for ectoine biosynthesis was cloned from genus Vibrio, and it was heterologously expressed with biosynthesis of ectoine in low saline environment, which has laid foundation for the scale production of ectione.
