Cloning, Expression and Purification of Wheat Acetyl-CoA Carboxylases CT Domain in E.coil

The entire gene of carboxyltransferase(CT) domain of acetyl-CoA carboxylase(ACCase) from Chinese Spring wheat(CSW) plastid was cloned firstly,and the 2.3 kb gene was inserted into PET28a+ vector and expressed in E.coil in a soluble state.The (His)6 fusion protein was identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blot.The recombinant protein was purified by affinity chromatography,and the calculated molecular mass(Mr) was 88000.The results of the sequence analysis indicate that the cloned gene(GeneBank accession No.EU124675) was a supplement and revision of the reported ACCase CT partial cDNA from Chinese Spring wheat plastid.The recombinant protein will be significant for us to investigate the recognizing mechanism between ACCase and herbicides,and further to screen new herbicides.     

Construction of a yeast plasmid cloning vector with high stability inSaccharomyces cerevisiae strains deficient in 2 µmDNA

PlasmidpCP1 was constructed from cloned 2 µmDNA ofSaccharomyces cerevisiae and from plasmidpJDB207. VectorpCP1 contains the completeB form of 2 µmDNA interrupted in theFLP gene, together withDNA derived from theEscherichia coli plasmidpAT153 and a low expression variant of theS. cerevisiae LEU2 gene. The new vector is lost at a low frequency from yeastcir ⁺ orcir ⁰ strains under non-selective growth conditions and is stable against rearrangements incir ⁰ strains. Its usefulness for curingcir ⁺ strains from endogenous 2 µmDNA and for their conversion tocir ⁰ strains was demonstrated.Dedicated to Professor Dr.Karl Schlögl on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

Recombination System Based on Cre α Complementation and Leucine Zipper Fusions

A gene encoding β-1,3-1,4-glucanase was cloned by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from Bacillus subtilis MA139. Sequencing result showed 97% homology to the corresponding gene from Bacillus licheniformis. The open reading frame (ORF) of the gene contained 690 bp coding for a 226 amino-acid matured protein with the estimated molecular weight of 24.44 kDa. The β-1,3-1,4-glucanase gene was subcloned into an expression vector of pET28a and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 and then purified by metal affinity chromatography using a nickel–nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni–NTA) column. The purified β-1,3-1,4-glucanase demonstrated 24.05 and 12.52 U ml^-1 activities for the substrates of barley β-glucan and lichenan, respectively, and the specific activities were 728.79 and 379.1 U mg^-1 for them, respectively. The optimal temperature and pH of the purified enzyme were 40°C and 6.4, respectively. When barley β-glucan was used as the substrate, K _m was 5.34 mg ml^-1, and K _cat showed 7,206.71 S^-1, thus the ratio of K _cat and K _m was 1,349.67 ml s^-1 mg^-1. The activity of β-1,3-1,4-glucanase was affected by a range of metal ions or ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA).

Information cloning of harmonic oscillator coherent states

We show that in the case of unknown harmonic oscillator coherent states it is possible to achieve what we call perfect information cloning. By this we mean that it is still possible to make arbitrary number of copies of a state which has exactly the same information content as the original unknown coherent state. By making use of this perfect information cloning it would be possible to estimate the original state through measurements and make arbitrary number of copies of the estimator. We define the notion of a measurement fidelity and calculate it for our case as well as for the Gaussian cloners.
