Isolation and Characterization of EstC, a New Cold-Active Esterase from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The genome sequence of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) contains more than 50 genes coding for putative lipolytic enzymes. Many studies have shown the capacity of this actinomycete to store important reserves of intracellular triacylglycerols in nutrient depletion situations. In the present study, we used genome mining of S. coelicolor to identify genes coding for putative, non-secreted esterases/lipases. Two genes were cloned and successfully overexpressed in E. coli as His-tagged fusion proteins. One of the recombinant enzymes, EstC, showed interesting cold-active esterase activity with a strong potential for the production of valuable esters. The purified enzyme displayed optimal activity at 35°C and was cold-active with retention of 25% relative activity at 10°C. Its optimal pH was 8.5-9 but the enzyme kept more than 75% of its maximal activity between pH 7.5 and 10. EstC also showed remarkable tolerance over a wide range of pH values, retaining almost full residual activity between pH 6-11. The enzyme was active toward short-chain p-nitrophenyl esters (C2-C12), displaying optimal activity with the valerate (C5) ester (k(cat)/K(m) = 737±77 s(-1) mM(-1)). The enzyme was also very active toward short chain triglycerides such as triacetin (C2:0) and tributyrin (C4:0), in addition to showing good primary alcohol and organic solvent tolerance, suggesting it could function as an interesting candidate for organic synthesis of short-chain esters such as flavors.

Characterization of a Novel Intracellular Endopeptidase of the / Hydrolase Family from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2)
In a proteasome-lacking mutant of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), an intracellular enzyme with chymotrypsinlike activity, absent from the wild type, was detected. Complementation that restored proteasome function did not suppress expression of the endopeptidase. Since the enzyme was not found in two other S. coelicolor proteasome mutants, its expression probably resulted from a secondary mutatio...

The genome-sequenced, Gram-positive bacterium Streptomyces avermitilis harbours an orthologue (SAV_3032) of the previously identified epi-isozizaene synthase (SCO5222) in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). The sav3032 is translationally coupled with the downstream sav3031 gene encoding the cytochrome P450 CYP170A2 analogous to SCO5223 (CYP170A1) of S. coelicolor A3(2), which exhibits a similar tran...

A region of the Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) chromosome was identified and cloned by using as a probe the lipase gene from Streptomyces exfoliatus M11. The cloned region consisted of 6286 bp, and carried a complete lipase gene, lipA, as well as a gene encoding a transcriptional activator (lipR). The S. coelicolor A3(2) lipA gene encodes a functional extracellular lipase 82% identical to the S....

The coding and regulatory sequences of the agarase gene of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) were cloned in Streptomyces lividans 66 on the plasmid vector pIJ61, resulting in a several hundred-fold increase in the production of the secreted protein. Subcloning experiments localized the sequences required for agarase production and for the mediation of carbon catabolite repression to a segment of ab...
