迟缓爱德华氏菌对Hep-2细胞的侵袭特性

用细胞裂解计数法及超薄切片电镜观察法分析了迟缓爱德华氏菌侵袭Hep—2细胞的基本特性。在15株来源各异的迟缓爱德华氏菌中,有6株细菌具有对Hep—2细胞的侵袭能力。细菌侵入细胞后,主要位于空泡内。侵入细胞内的迟缓爱德华氏菌不仅可在细胞内增殖,而且可从细胞内释放出来。用细胞松弛素破坏微丝后可抑制其侵袭作用,而且表现出剂量依赖关系,而用秋水仙素破坏微管后不影响其侵袭力。这表明在迟缓爱德华氏菌对Hep—2细胞的侵袭过程中,细胞骨架中有微丝的参与,未发现微管的参与。

人粒-巨噬细胞集落刺激因子(hGM-CSF)作为一种造血生长因子,能够刺激T细胞和巨噬细胞增殖、成熟和分化,具有极其重要的免疫调解功能.本研究运用PCR方法,从质粒pAG-MT-8中克隆该基因,并在其5′端添加有利于在蓝藻细胞中高效表达的SD序列,然后插入到表达载体(pRL-439)强启动子PpsbA的下游,进一步与穿梭表达载体pDC-08相连构建成穿梭表达载体pDC-GM.利用三亲接合转移方法将该穿梭表达载体(pDC-GM)转入丝状鱼腥藻7120,通过相应抗生素筛选后得到能稳定遗传的转基因藻.以该转基因藻的基因组DNA为模板进行PCR检测,结果表明hGM-CSF基因已转入鱼腥藻7120.这是首次尝试把蓝藻作为制备重组hGM-CSF的新宿主,具有潜在的经济价值和社会效益.     

重组人粒细胞集落刺激因子(rhG-CSF)基因在鱼腥藻中的克隆

为了将rhG-CSF基因在鱼腥藻PCC 7120中克隆,用于制备口服制剂,利用DNA重组技术,在不改变阅读杠的前提下,将hG-CSF基因进行突变,并插入到pUC-19载体上,构建中间载体pUC=G-CSF;将pUC-G-CSF插入到pRL-489的启动子PpsbA的下游,构建穿梭表达载体pRL-G-CSF;通过三亲接合转移方法,将pRL-G-CSF转入丝状体蓝藻鱼腥藻PCC 7120内。本试验得到了有抗生素性的鱼腥藻,并用PCR技术检测到rhG-CSF基因在转基因鱼腥藻中存在。

人表皮生长因子（hEGF）基因在蓝藻中的表达

人表皮生长因子（hEGF)是由53个氨基酸组成的蛋白,在临床上内服与外敷可促进内外表皮细胞的生长。将人工合成的hEGF基因连接到质粒pRL-489上,位于启动子psb下游。验证连接成功后,用三亲接合转移方法将载体pRL-hEGF导入聚球藻Synechococcus sp.PCC7002和鱼腥藻Anabeana sp.PCC7120。由于pRL-hEGF没有能在单细胞蓝藻中自主复制的复制子,通过筛选,hEGF在聚球藻7002中是整合到蓝藻染色体上进行表达的。用PCR扩增的方法在两种转基因藻中均检测到hEGF基因的存在。放射免疫分析证明,hEGF基因在两种转基因藻中均得到了表达。而且,在聚球藻7002中是采用分泌形式将表达产物分泌到培养液中。

为了提高小鼠金属硫蛋白-I(mMT-I)在鱼腥藻7120(Anabaena sp.PCC 7120)中的表达量、便于表达产物的分离纯化,构建了新的穿梭融合表达载体pKG-MT。通过pKG-MT,mMT-I cDNA在tac启动子的调控下,以与谷胱甘肽转硫酶(GST)C-末端相融合(GST-MT)的形式在鱼藻中表达。SDS-PAGE结果显示在异丙基硫代-β-D-半乳糖苷(IPTG)诱导下GST-MT在鱼腥藻中表达。经谷胱甘肽亲合层析,从转基因藻中分离、纯化得到GST-MT,利用GSTC-末端的凝血酶酶切位点,用凝血酶对GST-MT进行柱上酶切,经Sephadex G50除去凝血酶得到mMT-I。SDS-PAGE表明纯化得到所要的目标产物;ELISA测定结果显示从每克转基因藻(鲜重)中可纯化得到0.9 mg mMT-I;原子吸收测定表明纯化得到的mMT-I的镉离子结合能力接近于天然MT。     

Identification of genes controlled by the manganese response regulator, ManR, in the cyanobacterium, Anabaena sp. PCC 7120

A computational search was carried out to identify additional binding sites for the manganese response regulator, ManR, in the genome of Anabaena sp. PCC 7120. This approach predicted ManR binding sites: the promoter regions of the genes of all3575-alr3576 and the gene of alr5134 from Anabaena sp. PCC 7120. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays confirmed that the ManR of Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 specifically bound to the promoter regions of all3575-alr3576 and alr5134.     

Modification of the N-Terminal Nucleotide Sequence of Mature hGM-CSF Results in High Expression in the Foreign Host, Anabaena sp. Strain PCC 7120

Cloning and high foreign expression of the human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (hGM-CSF) gene were achieved in Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 cells. To promote high expression of hGM-CSF in cyanobacterial cells, PCR primers were designed to modify the N-terminal cDNA sequence of mature hGM-CSF, including a GC rich region and some discriminating against codons according to the degeneracy codon rules, selecting for prokaryotic usage codons. The PCR product encoding the modified hGM-CSF was inserted downstream of the promoter, PpsbA of the shuttle vector pRL439, then ligated with pDC-08 to generate the shuttle expression plasmid, pDC-GM1. The resulting shuttle expression plasmid was transferred into the filamentous, heterocyst-forming cyanobacterium, Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 using the tri-parental conjugation transfer method. The results of PCR amplification of wild type and transgenic cells indicated that the hGM-CSF gene was successfully cloned into Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120 cells. Western blot analysis showed that the protein expression of modified hGM-CSF in transgenic cells harboring pDC-GM1 was 136% higher than that of non-modified hGM-CSF in transgenic cells harboring pDC-GM0. Additionally, there were similar rate of growth and content of Chl a as compared to controls, suggesting that foreign hGM-CSF did not impair the photosynthetic activity of host cells. Taken together, the results indicate that modification of the N-terminal nucleotide sequence of mature hGM-CSF results in high expression in the transgenic cells.     

生物反应器培养转基因鱼腥藻的研究

在反应器中研究了转人TNF-α基因鱼腥藻7120(Anabaena sp．PCC7120,pDC-TNF)的培养。结果表明气升式反应器适合于转基因鱼腥藻的培养。气升式反应器中通气量和光照是主要的影响因素,观察到1L罐中最适通气量为60～75L／h,最适光照强度为1200lx,此时在25℃混养,光照时间／黑暗时间为12h／12h,15d生物量干重大于3g／L,TNF表达水平约占总可溶蛋白的22％,达到了摇瓶培养水平。实验发现添加维生素B1 300μg／L、B12 200μg／L和生物素4μg／L时,生产周期为12d,缩短20％,表达水平相同。培养过程通入含有5％CO2的空气,能促进生长,缩短生产周期,但收获生物量不受影响。从添加维生素和通入CO2的培养结果证明反应器中培养时,光照是限制性因素,当反应器系统一定时,最终生物量有一个最大值,如需进一步提高产量,必须设法改变光照系统。     

Paired cloning vectors for complementation of mutations in the cyanobacterium<Emphasis Type="Italic"> Anabaena</Emphasis> sp. strain PCC 7120

The clones generated in a sequencing project represent a resource for subsequent analysis of the organism whose genome has been sequenced. We describe an interrelated group of cloning vectors that either integrate into the genome or replicate, and that enhance the utility, for developmental and other studies, of the clones used to determine the genomic sequence of the cyanobacterium, Anabaena sp. strain PCC 7120. One integrating vector is a mobilizable BAC vector that was used both to generate bridging clones and to complement transposon mutations. Upon addition of a cassette that permits mobilization and selection, pUC-based sequencing clones can also integrate into the genome and thereupon complement transposon mutations. The replicating vectors are based on cyanobacterial plasmid pDU1, whose sequence we report, and on broad-host-range plasmid RSF1010. The RSF1010- and pDU1-based vectors provide the opportunity to express different genes from either cell-type-specific or -generalist promoters, simultaneously from different plasmids in the same cyanobacterial cells. We show that pDU1 ORF4 and its upstream region play an essential role in the replication and copy number of pDU1, and that ORFs alr2887 and alr3546 (hetF _A ) of Anabaena sp. are required specifically for fixation of dinitrogen under oxic conditions.     

The ManR specifically binds to the promoter of a Nramp transporter gene in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120: a novel regulatory DNA motif in cyanobacteria

The Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 ManR and a homologous protein of MntH were identified by BLAST search. Recombinant ManR protein was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified by an immobilized metal (Ni) affinity chromatography. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays revealed that ManR specifically bound to the promoter region of the mntH gene. Site-directed mutagenesis experiments demonstrated that the specific recognition site for ManR is TATGAAAAGAATATGAGAA, which is composed of two direct repeats of the consensus sequence (T/A)ATGA(G/A)A(A/G). This is a novel regulatory DNA motif in cyanobacteria, indicating that the expression of mntH was regulated by a two-component Mn(2+)-Sensing System containing ManR in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120. To date, this specific pathway of regulating mntH expression has only been found in cyanobacteria.     

Cloning expression and analysis of phytochelatin synthase (pcs) gene from Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 offering multiple stress tolerance in Escherichia coli

Phytochelatin synthase (PCS) is involved in the synthesis of phytochelatins (PCs), plays role in heavy metal detoxification. The present study describes for first time the functional expression and characterization of pcs gene of Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 in Escherichia coli in terms of offering protection against heat, salt, carbofuron (pesticide), cadmium, copper, and UV-B stress. The involvement of pcs gene in tolerance to above abiotic stresses was investigated by cloning of pcs gene in expression vector pGEX-5X-2 and its transformation in E. coli BL21 (DE3). The E. coli cells transformed with pGEX-5X-pcs showed better growth than control cells (pGEX-5X-2) under temperature (47 °C), NaCl (6% w/v), carbofuron (0.025 mg ml⁻¹), CdCl₂ (4 mM), CuCl₂ (1 mM), and UV-B (10 min) exposure. The enhanced expression of pcs gene revealed by RT-PCR analysis under above stresses at different time intervals further advocates its role in tolerance against above abiotic stresses.
