  • Marker-Free System Using Ribosomal Promoters Enhanced Xylose/Glucose Isomerase Production in Streptomyces rubiginosus.
    Biotechnology journal, 2019
    Co-Authors: Xiaojie Wang, Zixin Deng, Tiangang Liu
    Abstract:

    Xylose/Glucose Isomerases are important industrial enzymes that are most widely used in food industries; however, their previously reported expression levels do not meet the requirements for industrial application. Here, an antibiotic resistance marker (ARM)-free system driven by ribosomal RNA (rRNA) promoters is developed to obtain high-level xylose/Glucose Isomerase (XI/GI) expression in Streptomyces rubiginosus (S. rubiginosus). The rRNA promoter rrnD yields the highest Glucose Isomerase production titer of XIs/GIs, which is eight times higher than that of ermEp* and 2.6 times higher than that of kasOp*. The integrated ARM gene is removed by further introduction of the Cre plasmid with a temperature-sensitive replicon. The production titer of XIs/GIs is further improved by replacing the xylR gene with an additional expression Glucose Isomerase cassette at the xylR locus. Ultimately, the Glucose Isomerase activity reaches up to 79.7 ± 7.5 U mL-1 at 96 h. The results support the robustness and stability of XI/GI production with this ARM-free system using optimal ribosomal promoters in S. rubiginosus, demonstrating strong potential in large-scale industrial applications. Besides, the results imply that rRNA promoters are strong promoters that can be used for protein engineering or metabolic engineering.

  • Purification and characterization of thermostable Glucose Isomerase from Clostridium thermosulfurogenes and Thermoanaerobacter strain B6A.
    Biochemical Journal, 1991
    Co-Authors: Chanyong Lee, J. G. Zeikus
    Abstract:

    Glucose Isomerases produced by Thermoanaerobacter strain B6A and Clostridium thermosulfurogenes strain 4B were purified 10-11-fold to homogeneity and their physicochemical and catalytic properties were determined. Both purified enzymes displayed very similar properties (native Mr 200,000, tetrameric subunit composition, and apparent pH optima 7.0-7.5). The enzymes were stable at pH 5.5-12.0, and maintained more than 90% activity after incubation at high temperature (85 degrees C) for 1 h in the presence of metal ions. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of both thermostable Glucose Isomerases were Met-Asn-Lys-Tyr-Phe-Glu-Asn and were not similar to that of the thermolabile Bacillus subtilis enzyme. The Glucose Isomerase from C. thermosulfurogenes and Thermoanaerobacter displayed pI values of 4.9 and 4.8, and their kcat. and Km values for D-Glucose at 65 degrees C were 1040 and 1260 min-1 and 140 and 120 mM respectively. Both enzymes displayed higher kcat. and lower Km values for D-xylose than for D-Glucose. The C. thermosulfurogenes enzyme required Co2+ or Mg2+ for thermal stability and Glucose Isomerase activity, and Mn2+ or these metals for xylose Isomerase activity. Crystals of C. thermosulfurogenes Glucose Isomerase were formed at room temperature by the hanging-drop method using 16-18% poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) 4000 in 0.1 M-citrate buffer.
