Isolation and cloning of the endoglucanase gene from Bacillus pumilus and its expression in Deinococcus radiodurans
نویسندگان
چکیده
With the aim of engineering a strain of bacteria that could be used for bioremediation of cellulosic waste in radioactive environments, the gene for the secreted endoglucanase enzyme of Bacillus pumilis was decided to be cloned into the radiotolerant bacterium, Deinococcus radiodurans. The endoglucanase gene from B. pumilus was PCR amplified and cloned into Escherichiacoli DH5α using a pDrive vector. It was subsequently sub-cloned into E.coli-Deinococcus shuttle vector pRAD1 downstream of the Deinococcus heat-shock promoter, groESL, and the construct was inserted into D. radiodurans. Functional endoglucanase enzyme was expressed in both E.coli and D.radiodurans.

Molecular Cloning and Characterization of a Lipase from an Indigenous Bacillus pumilus
Cloning and sequencing of a lipase gene from an indigenous Bacillus pumilus, strain F3, revealed an open-reading frame of 648 nucleotides predicted to encode a protein of 215 residues. Sequence analysis showed that F3 lipase contained a signal peptide composed of 34 amino acids with an H domain of 18 residues. A tat-like motif was found in the signal peptide similar to some other Bacillus pumil...
