重组蓝细菌藻蓝蛋白RpcA共价偶联多种藻胆色素

利用建立的藻胆蛋白大肠杆菌异源表达系统,证明了Synechococcus sp.WH8102的藻蓝蛋白α亚基RpcA能分别结合蓝细菌中的4种藻胆素.裂合酶RpcG利用PCB或PEB做色素底物,连接它们到RpcA上,并伴随着异构作用,分别生成色素蛋白PVB-RpcA、PUB-RpcA;但裂合酶CpcE/CpcF利用PCB或PEB做色素底物,连接它们到RpcA上,则分别生成了色素蛋白PCB-RpcA、PEB-RpcA.后者荧光量子产率较高.2种裂合酶使用2种不同的色素底物,可以产生4种完全不同的、仅偶联到RpcA的色素蛋白.RpcG和CpcE/CpcF的对比研究可以探讨裂合酶异构功能的结构基础.同时这些色素蛋白有潜在的应用价值,可以作为生物学荧光探针。

The yeast DNA repair gene RAD6 encodes a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme

The RAD6 gene of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is required for a variety of cellular functions including DNA repair. The discovery that the RAD6 gene product can catalyse the covalent attachment of ubiquitin to other proteins suggests that the multiple functions of the RAD6 protein are mediated by its ubiquitin-conjugating activity.     

Fluorescence study on the interaction between apoCopC and cupric

The interaction between apoCopC and cupric was investigated by fluorescence spectra, in phosphate （20 mmol/L） buffer at pH 6.0. Results suggest that the environment is measured to be hydrophobic completely around tryptophan （83）. At the same time, apoCopC fluorescence at 320 nm was significantly quenched with the addition of cupric and the 1：1 stoichiometric ratio of apoCopC to cupric was confirmed by fluorescence. In addition, the conditional binding constants were calculated to be Kcu-copc=（1.8±0.58）×10^13 mol^-1 L on the basis of the results of fluorescence titration curves. The apoCopC has the ability to bind specifically cupric ion.     

Catalytic Characteristics of Lyases in Gloeobacter violaceus PCC 7421

In Gloeobacter violaceus PCC 7421, three possible lyase genes glr1191, glr1182 and gll1188 were selected by Blast sorting. The coded proteins of these three genes were co-expressed with their substrate protein in E. coli, respectively, and some chromoproteins were obtained. The fluorescence spectra showed that high fluorescence intensity was observed in the three experimental groups that involved the lyase genes, but little fluorescence intensity was observed in negative control groups. The ratio of relative fluorescence intensity in the experimental group with glr1191 was 64.8%. The result of SDS-PAGE indicated that the molecular weights of the three chromoproteins were 22.0 10 3 , 23.6 10 3 and 22.1 10 3 , respectively. The result of zinc-induced fluorescence re- vealed that the phycobilin in the three chromoproteins was covalently coupled to their apo-proteins. The result also showed that the coded proteins of these three genes (CpeS1 , CpeT1 , CpeY )could cata- lyze the covalent coupling of different phycobilins to their apo- proteins and formed active chromoproteins.

A pyrimidine dimer-DNA glycosylase activity associated with the v gene product of bacterophage T4

Mutations in the v gene of bacteriophage T4 are associated with a marked increase in sensitivity to killing by UV radiation at 254 nm, but not to a variety of other forms of base damage to DNA. Early studies from this laboratory provided evidence for a role of the v gene in the excision of pyrimidine dimers (PD) from DNA. Specifically, it was shown that extracts of T4v+-infected Escherichia coli catalyse the formation of single-strand breaks (nicks) and/or alkali-labile sites in UIV-irradiated duplex DNA. Comparable hydrolysis of phosphodiester bonds is not observed with extracts of E. coli infected with the mutant T4v1 (ref. 5). The product of the v gene has been extensively purified in a number of laboratories; however, convincing evidence of purification to physical homogeneity has not yet been presented.

Expression,purification and spectra characterization of neuroglobin

The expression, purification and spectra characterization of recombinant human neuroglobin （NGB） are reported. The pET3a plasmid with the gene of NGB was transformed to E. coli BL21 （DE3） plys cells and expressed in TB culture medium. The results indicated that the expression amount of NGB is about 10 percent of the total protein in cells. The NGB protein was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE-Sepharose anion exchange column, Hiload 16/60 superdex 75 size exclusion chromatography and a Hiprep 16/10 Q FF anion exchange column, and a red soluble protein was obtained which showed a single band in electrophoresis. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry （ESI-MS） showed that its molecular weight is 16930.0 Da. UV-spectra indicated that the reduced NGB has a strong absorption peak at 425 nm, and two weak peaks at 531 and 559 nm, which can be assigned to γ, β and α bands of porphyrin, respectively, and the oxidized NGB has a strong absorption peak at 413 nm which corresponds to the transition of π electrons in the porphyrin ring. The fluorescence maximal excitation wavelength is at 281 nm and its maximal emission wavelength is at 338 nm. CD spectra indicated that its secondary structure is a typical α helix, and has a positive peak at 410 nm induced by heme, The NGB protein is stable when the pH is higher than 4.     

Expression, purification and characterization of the soluble CuA domain of cytochrome c oxidase ofParacoccus versutus

The key subunit Ⅱ of cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) contains a soluble binuclear copper center (Cu_A) domain. The Cu_A domain of Paracoccus versutus was cloned, expressed, purified and characterized. The gene encoding the Cu_A domain in pET11d vector was expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3). The results showed that the Cu_A domain was expressed mostly in inclusion bodies and the Cu_A domain protein synthesized in E. coli cells represents approximately 10 percent of the total cellular proteins. Dissolved in urea, dialyzed and recombined with Cu⁺/Cu²⁺ and purified by the Q-sepharose fast flow anion-exchange column and Sephadex G-75 gel filtration column, the soluble purple-colored protein, which shows a single band in electrophoresis, was obtained. The UV-visible absorption spectrum of Cu_A domain showed that there are intense band at 478 nm and a shoulder peak at 530 nm, and two weak bands at 360 and 806 nm respectively, which can be assigned to the charge transfer and the interactions of obitals of Cu—S and Cu——Cu in the mixed-valence binuclear metal center (Cu₂S₂R₂). The far-UV CD spectrum indicated that this domain is predominantly in β-sheet structure. The fluorescence spectra showed that its maximal excitation wavelength and maximal emission wavelength are at 280 and 345 nm, respectively.
