چکیده

Two cold shock genes, cspL and cspP, have been cloned from two Lactobacillus plantarum strains. These genes, which are nonallelic, were present in all strains tested. The genes encode 66-amino-acid polypeptides related to each other and to the cold shock Csp family. Transcription of cspP rendered a single mRNA, while two cspL mRNAs were found with common 5' ends. The amounts of these transcripts increased moderately upon exposure of the cultures to cold.

Changes in cspL, cspP, and cspC mRNA abundance as a function of cold shock and growth phase in Lactobacillus plantarum.

An inverse PCR strategy based on degenerate primers has been used to identify new genes of the cold shock protein family in Lactobacillus plantarum. In addition to the two previously reported cspL and cspP genes, a third gene, cspC, has been cloned and characterized. All three genes encode small 66-amino-acid proteins with between 73 and 88% identity. Comparative Northern blot analyses showed t...

Improved adaptation to cold-shock, stationary-phase, and freezing stresses in Lactobacillus plantarum overproducing cold-shock proteins.

We have investigated the effect of overproducing each of the three cold shock proteins (CspL, CspP, and CspC) in the mesophilic lactic acid bacterium Lactobacillus plantarum NC8. CspL overproduction transiently alleviated the reduction in growth rate triggered by exposing exponentially growing cells to cold shock (8 degrees C), suggesting that CspL is involved in cold adaptation. The strain ove...

csp-like genes of Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus and their response to cold shock.

The two csp-like genes from the lactic acid bacterium Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus were characterized and designated cspA and cspB. The gene cspA has been identified using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based approach with degenerated primers and further characterized using an inverse PCR strategy. cspA encodes a protein of 65 amino acid residues which displays between 81 and 77...

Cold shock induction of the cspL gene in Lactobacillus plantarum involves transcriptional regulation.

Fragments of the cspL promoter region were fused to the gusA reporter and reintroduced into Lactobacillus plantarum cells, either on multicopy plasmids or through single-copy chromosomal integration. beta-Glucuronidase activity and primer extension data demonstrate that the cspL promoter is induced in response to cold shock and that multicopy constructs quench the induction of the resident cspL...

l-Arabinose Isomerase and d-Xylose Isomerase from Lactobacillus reuteri: Characterization, Coexpression in the Food Grade Host Lactobacillus plantarum, and Application in the Conversion of d-Galactose and d-Glucose

The L-arabinose isomerase (L-AI) and the D-xylose isomerase (D-XI) encoding genes from Lactobacillus reuteri (DSMZ 17509) were cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The proteins were purified to homogeneity by one-step affinity chromatography and characterized biochemically. L-AI displayed maximum activity at 65 °C and pH 6.0, whereas D-XI showed maximum activity at 65 °C and...
