Molecular cloning of the 5-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase gene from Rhodobacter sphaeroides.
A hemB mutant of Escherichia coli was used to clone the gene encoding 5-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase from Rhodobacter sphaeroides after physiological complementation of the mutation. A 2.9-kb DNA fragment was obtained and cloned in both orientations into the unique PstI restriction site of pUC19. This recombinant plasmid encodes a protein (Mr 39,000) that is immunoreactive with antibodies ra...
متن کاملOptimization of Biomass and 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Production by Rhodobacter sphaeroides ATCC17023 via Response Surface Methodology.
Microbial 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) produced from wastewater is considered as potential renewable energy. However, many hurdles are needed to be overcome such as the regulation of key influencing factors on ALA yield. Biomass and ALA production by Rhodobacter sphaeroides was optimized using response surface methodology. The culturing medium was artificial volatile fatty acids wastewater. Thre...
متن کاملHeterologous expression of glutamyl-tRNA reductase gene in Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 to enhance 5-aminolevulinic acid production
The pathways for synthesis of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) use either succinyl-CoA and glycine (C-4 pathway), or glutamate (C-5 pathway). Although Rhodobacter sphaeroides synthesizes 5-ALA through the C-4 pathway, it also has the genes coding for the enzymes of the C-5 pathway, except for glutamyl-tRNA reductase. The glutamyl-tRNA reductase gene was cloned from Rhodospirillum rubrum and expres...
متن کامل-Aminolevulinic Acid Dehydratase from Plasmodium falciparum
The heme biosynthetic pathway of the malaria parasite is a drug target and the import of host -aminolevulinate dehydratase (ALAD), the second enzyme of the pathway, from the red cell cytoplasm by the intra erythrocytic malaria parasite has been demonstrated earlier in this laboratory. In this study, ALAD encoded by the Plasmodium falciparum genome (PfALAD) has been cloned, the protein overexpre...
متن کاملCloning, nucleotide sequence and characterization of the mannitol dehydrogenase gene from Rhodobacter sphaeroides.
Transposon mutagenesis and antibiotic enrichment were employed to isolate a mutant of Rhodobacter sphaeroides Si4 designated strain M22, that had lost the ability to grow on D-mannitol and to produce the enzyme mannitol dehydrogenase (MDH). DNA flanking the transposon in the mutant strain was used as a probe for the identification and cloning of the MDH gene (mtlK). A 5.5 kb EcoRI/BglII fragmen...
