目的克隆Thermus thermophilus HB27隆腺苷酸激酶基因并在大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)中进行表达并获得了比较高的表达量并对其酶学性质进行分析。方法利用PCR技术从Thermus thermophilus HB27基因组中扩增得到腺苷酸激酶的基因片段,将其克隆到pET-28a表达载体上,以PCR\酶切和测序进行鉴定。利用光谱分析测定该重组酶的相关酶学性质。结果成功克隆和高效表达了腺苷酸激酶;重组酶的最适pH是8.5,最适温度是90℃。重组酶对底物ADP的米氏常数Km是68.6μmol/L,VmaxADP为0.294mmol/(L-1·min-1)。将该重组酶在70、80、90、100℃下分别作用7h后,发现仍具有酶活性,显示出高的温度耐受性。腺苷酸激酶的特异性抑制剂AP5A浓度为2.0mmol/L能够抑制重组腺苷酸激酶70%的酶活性,AP5A对重组腺苷酸激酶的抑制类型为竞争性抑制,其抑制常数为46.39μmol/L。结论成功克隆、表达重组腺苷酸激酶,为腺苷酸激酶的进一步应用奠定了基础。

Objective To clone the gene encoding adenylate kinase of Thermus thermophilus HB27, an extremely thermophilic bacterium, express the protein in Escherichia coil and study the enzymatic characterization. Methods The DNA fragment encoding adenylate kinase was obtained by PCR from the total DNA of Thermus thermophilus HB27 and cloned into the vector pET-28a. The recombinant plasmid was identified by PCR, restriction endonuclease digestion and sequence analysis. Enzymatic characterization of the expressed protein was carried out using spectrophotometric assays. Results The gene coding for adenylate kinase from Thermus thermophilus HB27 was cloned and the protein was overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 （DE3）. The optimum reactive pH and temperature for the enzyme were 8.5 and 90 ℃, respectively. The Km of the recombinant adenylate kinase for ADP was 68.6 μmol/L, with an VmaxADP of 0.294 mmol/ （L·min）. Under the condition of environmental temperature at 70, 80, 90, or 100 ℃for 7 h, the recombinant adenylate kinase still retained the enzymatic activity with high thermostability. AP5A, a specific adenylate kinase inhibitor, inhibited the enzymatic activity of the protein by 70% at the concentration of 2.0 mmol/L, with a Ki value of 46.39 μmol/L for ADP. Conclusion The gene coding for adenylate kinase of Thermus thermophilus HB27 has been successfully cloned and expressed in Escherichia coil, which provides the basis for potential use of the highly thermostable recombinant HB27 adenylate kinase.
