Linoleic Acid Isomerase from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Propionibacterium acnes</Emphasis>: Purification,Characterization, Molecular Cloning,and Heterologous Expression

Propionibacterium acnes strain ATCC 6919 catalyzes the isomerization of the double bond at the C9 position in linoleic acid (c9,c12, 18:2) to form t10,c12 conjugated linoleic acid (CLA, 18:2). CLA has significant health benefits in animal and human. The linoleic acid C9 isomerase was purified to an apparent homogeneity by successive chromatography on diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) anion exchange, hydrophobic interaction, and chromatofocusing columns. Two degenerated oligonucleotide primers were synthesized according to the N-terminal peptide sequence to clone, by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), a short nucleotide sequence (62 bp) of the isomerase gene. The linoleic acid isomerase gene (lai) was subsequently cloned by inverse PCR. The amino acid sequence deduced from the lai coding sequence predicts a protein of 424 amino acid residues (48 kDa), excluding the N-terminal methionine, which was absent in the polypeptide purified from the native host. The isomerase shares no significant sequence homology to other enzymes except a flavin-binding domain in the N-terminal region. The recombinant isomerase purified from Escherichia coli showed a typical ultraviolet spectrum for FAD-bound proteins. The recombinant enzyme produced a single isomer of t10,c12-CLA from linoleic acid, as demonstrated by gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrum analysis. The recombinant isomerase protein was expressed at high levels in E. coli, but it was almost totally sequestered in inclusion bodies. The level of active isomerase was increased 376-fold by medium and process optimization in bench-scale fermentors.     

Cloning,Sequence Analysis and Three-dimensional Structure Prediction of DNA Pol I from Thermophilic <Emphasis Type="Italic">Geobacillus</Emphasis> sp. <Emphasis Type="Italic">MKK</Emphasis> Isolated from an Iranian Hot Spring

Molecular phylogenetic analysis of a novel thermophilic eubacterium isolated from an Iranian hot spring using 16S rDNA sequence showed that the new isolate belongs to genera Geobacillus. DNA pol I gene from this isolate was amplified, cloned, sequenced, and the three-dimensional (3D) structure of deduced amino acid sequence was predicted. Sequence analysis revealed the gene is 2,631 bp long, encodes a protein of 876 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 99 kDa, and belongs to family A DNA polymerases. Comparison of 3′–5′exonuclease domain of Klenow fragment (KF) with corresponding region of newly identified DNA pol I (MF), the large fragment of Bacillus stearothermophilus DNA pol I (BF) and Klentaq1, revealed not only deletions in three regions compared to KF, but that three of the four critical metal-binding residues in KF (Asp355, Glu357, Asp424, and Asp501) are altered in MF as well. Predicted 3D structure and sequence alignments between MF and BF showed that all critical residues in the polymerase active site are conserved.
