Discovery of a novel (+)-γ-lactamase from Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA 6 by rational genome mining.

چکیده
A novel (+)-γ-lactamase used for the resolution of racemic γ-lactam from Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA 6 was found as a result of sequence-structure guided genome mining. It consists of 409 amino acids, only 49% of which are identical to the amino acid sequences of the known (+)-γ-lactamase from Sulfolobus solfataricus. This is only the third (+)-γ-lactamase gene to be reported.

Gene Probe Designing for Evaluation of the Diversity of Bradyrhizobium japonicum Isolates
Many researchers consider the use of different probes for hybridization assays as suitable for studying the genetic diversity of nitrogen fixing bacteria. In this study for asessing genetic diversity among Bradyrhizobium japonicum isolates, two different probes (sucA and topA) chosen from the chromosomal genome of Bradyrhizobium strain USDA 110 were designed, evaluated by DNAMAN software and im...
متن کاملTowards a two-dimensional proteomic reference map of Bradyrhizobium japonicum CPAC 15: spotlighting "hypothetical proteins".
The economic and ecological importance of the symbiosis of soybean with Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains is significant in several countries, particularly Brazil; however, up to now, only one complete and a draft genome for this species are available. In this study, we have obtained a proteomic reference map of B. japonicum strain CPAC 15 (=SEMIA 5079) - used in commercial inoculants for applic...
متن کاملEfficient DNA transformation of Bradyrhizobium japonicum by electroporation.
Intact cells of Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA 110 were transformed with a 30-kilobase plasmid to efficiencies of 10(6) to 10(7) transformants per microgram by high-voltage electroporation. The technique was reliable and simple, with single colonies arising from transformed cells within 5 days of antibiotic selection. Plasmid DNA from B. japonicum transformed the Bradyrhizobium (Arachis) sp. wit...
متن کاملApplication of representational difference analysis to identify genomic differences between Bradyrhizobium elkanii and B. Japonicum species
Bradyrhizobium elkanii is successfully used in the formulation of commercial inoculants and, together with B. japonicum, it fully supplies the plant nitrogen demands. Despite the similarity between B. japonicum and B. elkanii species, several works demonstrated genetic and physiological differences between them. In this work Representational Difference Analysis (RDA) was used for genomic compar...
متن کاملSynthesis of a low-molecular-weight form of exopolysaccharide by Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA 110.
A novel extracellular low-molecular-weight polysaccharide was detected as a contaminant within extracellular cyclic beta-1,6-beta-1,3-glucan preparations from Bradyrhizobium japonicum USDA 110 cultures. Compositional analysis, methylation analysis, and nuclear magnetic resonance analysis revealed that this low-molecular-weight polysaccharide was composed of the same pentasaccharide repeating un...
