假单胞菌HS-D36偏苯三酚1,2-双加氧酶克隆表达与催化特性研究

由pnpC编码的偏苯三酚1,2-双加氧酶(Hydroxyquinol 1,2-dioxygenase,PnpC)是微生物分解硝基芳香族类环境污染物的关键酶.本研究从对硝基苯酚(p-nitrophenol,PNP)降解菌HSD38(Pseudomonas sp.)中克隆pnpC基因,利用E.coli BL21(DE3)高效表达重组PnpC,通过亲和色谱纯化并分析其催化特性.实验结果表明:HS-D36的pnpC开放阅读框长度为873bp,编码290个氨基酸,酶蛋白相对分子量33KD;20℃、异丙基硫代-β-半乳糖苷(Isopropylβ-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside,IPTG)诱导可高效表达重组PnpC;重组酶经Ni-NTA亲和色谱一步分离可达到电泳纯;纯酶比活力9.3U/mg,纯化倍数37.2,活力收率23.8%;重组PnpC催化邻苯二酚开环反应的最适温度45℃、最适pH 5.0;Lineweaver-Burk双倒数作图表明PnpC对邻苯二酚降解的米氏常数(Km)为21.95mol/L、最大反应速度(Vmax)为2.68mol/(min·mg);Fe3+、Cu2+、Fe2+和Zn2+对该酶具激活作用,Ni 2+则显示抑制效应.

Stem cells, cancer, and cancer stem cells.

Stem cell biology has come of age. Unequivocal proof that stem cells exist in the haematopoietic system has given way to the prospective isolation of several tissue-specific stem and progenitor cells, the initial delineation of their properties and expressed genetic programmes, and the beginnings of their utility in regenerative medicine. Perhaps the most important and useful property of stem cells is that of self-renewal. Through this property, striking parallels can be found between stem cells and cancer cells: tumours may often originate from the transformation of normal stem cells, similar signalling pathways may regulate self-renewal in stem cells and cancer cells, and cancer cells may include 'cancer stem cells' - rare cells with indefinite potential for self-renewal that drive tumorigenesis.
