Title: Expression, purification and characterization of soluble recombinant peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase from Vibrio anguillarum. Author: Kim SH, Lee JM, Kang DS, Kim DG, Ahn SH, Kong IS. Journal: Protein Expr Purif; 2014 Sep; 101():54-60. PubMed ID: 24931498. Abstract: Vibrio anguillarum, a causative agent of vibriosis in finfish, crustaceans, and bivalves, is a Gram-negative, motile marine bacterium. Most bacteria have developed survival strategies in various environments. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in protein expression of V. anguillarum O1 incubated under different conditions using two dimensional electrophoresis and MALDI-TOF MS/MS analysis. Result indicated that peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerase (PPIase) expression was increasingly appeared when incubated at low temperature (15°C) and alkaline conditions (pH 10). Subsequently, the ppi gene from V. anguillarum O1 was isolated and overexpressed in Escherichia coli to characterize the biochemical properties. The cloned ppi gene encoded 206 amino acids containing the conserved regions identified in FK506 binding pocket. To determine the optimal conditions of the purified recombinant PPIase protein (VaFKBP22), we used Succinyl-Ala-Phe-Pro-Phe-p nitroanilide as substrate and the highest enzymatic activity was found at 5°C and pH 6. VaFKBP22 was detected in the cytoplasm and periplasm of V. anguillarum O1. In addition, VaFKBP22 also showed chaperone activity and did not show cytotoxic activity.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
