inactivation of apre gene in bacillus subtilis 168 by homologus recombination

نویسندگان
چکیده

background: one of the most important producers of high quality industrial enzymes is the gram-positive bacterium, bacillus subtilis (b. subtilis). one major limitation that hinders the wide application of b. subtilis is the secretion of high levels of extracellular proteases which degrade the secreted foreign proteins. in this study, homologus recombination technique was used to knock out its protease gene, apre. methods: the internal segment of the pro-sequence of apre gene of b. subtilis 168 with a length of 80 bps and its complementary sequence were synthesized and ligated into pub110 at ecor1 and xbai restriction sites. competent cells of b. subtilis 168 were prepared and transformed by electroporation using bio rad gene pulser as explained in the methods section. transformants carrying the recombinant plasmid were selected for resistance to neomycin. the success of homologous recombination was checked by pcr amplification of the neomycin gene which was part of the vector and did not exist in the genome of b. subtilis 168. the protease activity was measured using the protease fluorescent detection kit based on the proteolytic hydrolysis of fluorescein isothiocyanate (fitc)–labeled casein-substrate. results: the results demonstrated that apre gene would not be able to produce further active subtilisin e. the reduction of protease activity also confirmed the efficacy of the induced mutation in this gene. conclusion: it will therefore be a major challenge for future research to identify and modulate quality control systems of b. subtilis which limit the production of high quality protease- sensitive products such as lipase.

Bacillus subtilis Subtilisin Gene (aprE) Is Expressed from a crA

In vitro studies demonstrated that the Bacilus subtilis subtilisin gene (aprE) could be transcribed by RNA polymerase holoenzyme reconstituted from core and eA factor obtained from vegetative cells. Upstream deletions (from -45) reduced the amount of transcription from the promoter. A deletion downstream of the promoter that overlapped a putative downstream minor promoter did not affect transcr...

Genetic recombination in Bacillus subtilis 168: effect of DeltahelD on DNA repair and homologous recombination.

The B. subtilis DeltahelD allele rendered cells proficient in transformational recombination and moderately sensitive to methyl methanesulfonate when present in an otherwise Rec(+) strain. The DeltahelD allele was introduced into rec-deficient strains representative of the alpha (recF strain), beta (addA addB), gamma (recH), epsilon (DeltarecU), and zeta (DeltarecS) epistatic groups. The Deltah...

cloning of alkaline protease gene from bacillus subtilis 168

the aim of this study was to clone the serine alkaline protease-encoding gene from bacillus subtilis 168. this protease, which can have many applications especially in detergent, may be industrially an important enzyme. for the amplification of the gene, pcr was performed with a pair of primers specifically designed for this purpose. electrophoresis of the pcr product showed the expected band o...

Suppressor system in Bacillus subtilis 168.

Multiple auxotrophic strains of Bacillus subtilis 168 were tested for joint one-step reversion of two or more auxotrophic markers to the wild-type phenotype. Mu8u5u5, a strain requiring leucine, methionine, and threonine, yielded revertants that grew without added methionine or threonine and proved to have a suppressor gene. When transferred by transformation with deoxyribonucleic acid, this su...
