鱼腥藻铁调蛋白基因(alr0957)表达和Fe~(3+)对藻生长的影响

根据CyanoBase提供的鱼腥藻PCC7120 FurC基因(alr0957)序列信息设计特异性引物,用降落PCR法从染色体DNA中扩增得约450 bp目的片段.运用TA克隆将其连接到pMD18-T载体上,经筛选测序获得阳性重组质粒.再经过双酶切、纯化FurC基因,连接原核表达载体pET-28a(+),并转化表达菌株BL21和IPTG诱导表达.经测序鉴定的阳性菌株中的FurC,运用SDS-PAGE检测重组蛋白,并利用镍柱层析法纯化目的蛋白.由藻细胞密度、叶绿素a含量、可溶性糖含量等改变探讨不同Fe3+浓度对藻类生长的影响.结果表明:在37℃经1 mmol/L IPTG诱导18 h,成功表达了分子量约为19000的融合蛋白.小于0.5mg/L Fe3+促进藻生长,大于0.9 mg/L Fe3+抑制藻生长,最适藻生长Fe3+浓度为0.5⁰.9 mg/L.

Cloning and Characterization of the fecC Gene Necessary for Optimal Growth under Iron-Deficiency Conditions in the Cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120

The fecC gene encoding a putative iron (Ⅲ) dicitrate transporte rwas cloned from nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC 7120, and inactivated. The mutant grows normally in medium with NO3^- , NH1^- or without combined nitrogen. But in iron-deficient medium, the mutant grows slowly. Photosynthetic properties were compared between the mutant and the wildtype strain, the content of photosynthetic pigments in the mutant is lower than that of the wild-type. The results of RT-PCR experiments show that the fecC gene is expressed under iron-deficient conditions, but is not expressed under iron-replete conditions. These results revealed that fecC gene product is required for optimal growth under iron-deficient conditions in Anabaena sp. PCC 7120.

Effect of iron deficiency on heterocyst differentiation and physiology of the filamentous cyanobacterium<Emphasis Type="Italic">Anabaena</Emphasis> sp. PCC 7120

The effect of iron deficiency on heterocyst differentiation and some physiological properties of the filamentous cyanobacteriumAnabaena sp. PCC 7120 was investigated. Under moderate iron limitation conditions, achieved by addition of iron chelator 2, 2′-Dipyridyl (<80 μmol/L) led to delayed heterocyst differentiation, no heterocyst differentiation was observed under severe iron limitation conditions, when the concentration of 2,2′-Dipyridyl in the medium was more than 100 μmol/L. it seemed that there are certain iron-regulated genes or operons whose function is to control heterocyst development. In addition, iron deficiency impaired the growth. Low iron cells had a decrease in the quantities of pigment content (chlorophyll and phycocyanin content), the whole cellin vivo absorbance spectra confirmed the decrease, the protein electrophoretic profiles revealed that iron-deficient cells had less protein bands, with the increase of 2,2′-Dipyridyl, the protein bands was more and more less. And differently, iron deficiency also caused an increase of ROS (Reactive Oxygen Species) and SOD activity, it suggests that iron deficiency led to oxidative stress, which generally occured under high-iron conditions.
