牲畜链霉菌异青霉素N合成酶基因的克隆与序列分析

CLONING AND SEQUENCING THE ISOPENICILLIN N SYNTHETASE(IPNS) GENE FROM STREPTOMYCES CATTLEYA

产生含硫卜-内酰胺类抗生素的不同微生物种属间(包括原核和真核)的异青霉素N合成酶(IPNS)基因存在着明显的同源性。利用S. lipmanii IPNS基因探针验证了牲畜链霉菌(S. cattleya)染色体DNA中确实含有与之同源的区带,通过与牲畜链霉菌无活性阻断突变株互补克隆的方法,获得了同时含有硫霉素环化酶及IPNS基因的重组质粒。经基因序列分析表明牲畜链霉菌中IPNS基因,由963bp组成,起始密码子为ATG,终止密码子为TGA,共编码321个氨基酸,所克隆的牲畜链霉菌IPNS基因编码蛋白与已知的S. clavuligerus的IPNS相似性为56％,与S. lipmanii的IPNS相似性为64％。

Great homology existed between IPNS genes from surphur-containingβ-actam antibiotics producers including procaryotes and eucaryotes. A DNA homologous band was confirmed in S. cattleya by Southern blot analysis using IPNS gene from S. lipmanii as a probe. A recombinant plasmid containing the cyclase gene involved in thienamycin biosynthesis and IPNS gene was obtained by complementary cloning with mutant from S. cattleya. DNA sequencing revealed that the IPNS gene of S. cattleya consists of 963 bp encoding a protein of 321 amino acids with ATG as start codon, TGA as stop codon. Pairwise comparison of the predicted amino acid sequences showed 56% and 64% similarity with IPNSs of S. clavuligerus and S. lipmanii, respectively.
