English, Scientific journal,Abstract Alginate-assimilating bacteria degrade alginate into an unsaturated monosaccharide, which is converted into 4-deoxy-L-erythro -5-hexoseulose uronic acid (DEHU). DEHU is reduced to 2-keto-3-deoxy-D-gluconate by a DEHU-specific reductase using NAD(P)H. This is followed by pyruvate production via the Entner-Doudoroff pathway. Previously, we identified FlRed as a DEHU reductase in an alginate-assimilating bacterium,Flavobacterium sp. strain UMI-01. Here, we showed that FlRed can also catalyze the oxidation of DEHU with NAD+, producing 2-keto-3-deoxy-D-glucarate (KDGR). FlRed showed a predilection for NADH and NAD+ over NADPH and NADP+, respectively, and theK m value for NADH was approximately 2.6-fold less than that for NAD+. Furthermore, we identified two key enzymes, FlDet and FlDeg, for KDGR catabolism. FlDet was identified as an enzyme of the ribonuclease activity regulator A family, which converts KDGR to α-ketoglutaric semialdehyde (α-KGSA). FlDeg, a type II α-KGSA dehydrogenase, generated α-ketoglutaric acid by oxidizing the aldehyde group of α-KGSA using NAD(P)+. Consequently, unlike the conventional DEHU reduction pathway, DEHU can be directly converted to α-ketoglutaric acid without consuming NAD(P)H. Alginate upregulated the expression of not only FlRed and two enzymes of the DEHU-reduction pathway, but also FlDet and FlDeg. These results revealed dual pathways of DEHU metabolism involving reduction or oxidation by FlRed. - Functional identification of the 4-deoxy-L-erythro-5-hexoseulose uronate reductase from a brown alga, Saccharina japonica

English, Scientific journal, Hydrogenopahaga sp. strain UMI-18 is an alginolytic bacterium that can produce poly(3-hydroxybutylate) (PHB) using alginate as its sole carbon source. Genome analysis indicated that this strain harbors both PHB-synthesizing and alginate-assimilating gene clusters. In the present study, we cloned HyAly-I gene that encodes a PL-17 exolytic alginate lyase and investigated its enzymatic properties using recombinant HyAly-I (recHyAly-I) that was produced by Escherichia coli. The recHyAly-I preferably depolymerized poly(β-D-mannuronate) block of alginate in an exolytic manner at an optimal temperature and a pH at 40 °C and pH 6.0, respectively. It released 4-deoxy-L-erythro-5-hexoseulose uronic acid (DEH) from the non-reducing terminus of polymer and oligomer substrates. Interestingly, recHyAly-I was found to produce a novel unsaturated disaccharide, i.e., dimeric DEH (diDEH), along with monomeric DEH. Production of diDEH was prominent in the degradation of trisaccharides. - Isolation and characterization of an adenylate kinase from the lateral muscle of bastard halibut Paralichthys olivaceus

English, BACKGROUND: Alginate lyases belonging to polysaccharide lyase family-7 (PL-7) are the most well studied on their structures and functions among whole alginate lyases. However, all characterized PL-7 alginate lyases are from prokaryotic bacteria cells. Here we report the first identification of eukaryotic PL-7 alginate lyase from marine red alga Pyropia yezoensis. METHODS: The cDNA encoding an alginate lyase PyAly was cloned and was used for the construction of recombinant PyAly (rPyAly) expression system in Escherichia coli. Purified rPyAly was assayed to identify its enzymatic properties. Its expression pattern in P. yessoensis was also investigated. RESULTS: PyAly is likely a secreted protein consisting of an N-terminal signal peptide of 25 residues and a catalytic domain of 216 residues. The amino-acid sequence of the catalytic domain showed 19-29% identities to those of bacterial characterized alginate lyases classified into family PL-7. Recombinant PyAly protein, rPyAly, which was produced with E. coli BL21(DE3) by cold-inducible expression system, drastically decreased the viscosity of alginate solution in the early stage of reaction. The most preferable substrate for rPyAly was the poly(M) of alginate with an optimal temperature and pH at 35oC and 8.0, respectively. After reaction, unsaturated tri- and tetra-saccharides were produced from poly(M) as major end products. These enzymatic properties indicated that PyAly is an endolytic alginate lyase belonging to PL-7. Moreover, we found that the PyAly gene is split into 4 exons with 3 introns. PyAly was also specifically expressed in the gametophytic haplopid stage. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that PyAly in marine red alga P. yezoensis is a novel PL-7 alginate lyase with an endolytic manner. PyAly is a gametophyte-specifically expressed protein and its structural gene is composed of four exons and three introns. Thus, PyAly is the first enzymatically characterized eukaryotic PL-7 alginate lyase. - Identification of a 4-Deoxy-L-erythro-5-hexoseulose Uronic Acid Reductase, FlRed, in an Alginolytic Bacterium Flavobacterium sp Strain UMI-01

Japanese - P-42 Novel Prototype Galectins from the Marine Ball Sponge Cinachyrella sp. Guided by Their Modulatory Activity on Mammalian Glutamate-gated Ion Channels(Poster Presentation)

Here we report the bioactivity-guided isolation of novel galectins from the marine sponge Cinachyrella sp., collected from Iriomote Island, Japan. The lectin proteins, which we refer to as the Cinachyrella galectins (CchGs), were identified as the active principles in an aqueous sponge extract that modulated the function of mammalian ionotropic glutamate receptors. Aggregation of rabbit erythrocytes by CchGs was competed most effectively by galactosides but not mannose, a profile characteristic of members of the galectin family of oligosaccharide-binding proteins. The lectin activity was remarkably stable, with only a modest loss in hemagglutination after exposure of the protein to 100℃ for 1 h, and showed little sensitivity to calcium concentration. CchG-1 and -2 appeared as 16 and l8kDa in SDS-PAGE, respectively, whereas MALDI-TOF MS indicated broad ion clusters centered at 16,216 and 16,423 respectively. The amino acid sequences of the CchGs were deduced using a combination of Edman degradation and cDNA cloning and revealed that the proteins were distant orthologues of animal prototype galectins and that multiple isolectins comprised the CchGs. The biochemical properties of the CchGs as well as their unexpected activity on mammalian excitatory amino acid receptors suggest that further analysis of these new members of the galectin family will yield further glycobiological and neurophysiological insights., Symposium on the Chemistry of Natural Products Steering Committee, Japanese - 食用コンブの産地判別に関する研究

食用コンブの産地判別技術を開発するため,分析に適したDNA抽出法とミトコンドリアDNA分析の利用について検討を行った。その結果,エゾアワビ由来のアルギン酸リアーゼを利用することで,PCR増幅性が高い,高品質なDNAを安定して取得できる抽出法が開発できた。また,本抽出法は試料の粉砕を必要としない簡易な手法であり,様々な褐藻類に利用可能な技術と考えられた。本抽出法を用いて10種の食用コンブからミトコンドリアDNAを抽出し,NAD5遺伝子を解析した結果,ミツイシコンブ,ナガコンブ,ガッガラコンブ,チヂミコンブ,ガゴメ,トロロコンブの識別が可能であることから,それぞれの生息分布により産地が推定でき,国産コンブと輸入コンブの判別にも利用可能であることが分かった。一方,マコンブ,ホソメコンブ,リシリコンブ,オニコンブは塩基配列にほとんど違いが見られず,今回の結果から,それぞれの産地を判別するにはさらに詳細な検討が必要と考える。, テクノポリス函館技術振興協会, Japanese - Comparative study on general properties of alginate lyases from some marine gastropod mollusks

井上 晶
コンブやワカメなどの褐藻類は、食糧としてだけでなく有用成分の供給源としても重要である。特に多糖類やカロテノイド類には他の藻類や陸上植物にみられないものが多く、それらのいくつかはヒトの暮らしの改善にも関わっている。一方、褐藻自身がそれらをどのようにして合成し、利用しているのかについては、不明な点が多い。本研究では、褐藻の有用化合物の代謝機構を解明するために、それに関わる酵素の同定と有用酵素の大量生産法の確立を目的としている。
前年度までに、褐藻由来の酵素の基質となるアルギン酸分解物を細菌の酵素を用いて準備を進めたが、その過程で未知の化合物が検出された。そのため、これを生じる酵素の同定を進め、アルギン酸酸化代謝機構の全容を解明した。この成果は定説とは異なり、アルギン酸分解・代謝時に細胞内で還元力が蓄積されることを初めて実証したものであり、新技術開発への貢献が期待される。
さらに、アルギン酸のマンヌロン酸とグルロン酸の配列を制御する酵素のマンヌロン酸C5-エピメラーゼについても組換え酵素の発現と機能解析を進めた。13種類のアイソザイムの発現系を構築したが、最も組換え酵素の収量が高かったものについて、詳細に酵素性状を解析した。注目すべき点としては、本酵素が比較的高い熱安定性をもつことがあげられ、40℃で1時間加熱後も95%以上の活性が残存していた。
フコイダン分解酵素については、これまでに知見は少ないもののいくつかの細菌から同酵素が発見されている。本研究では、それらと配列相同性をもつ2つの褐藻のタンパク質の発現に成功したが、フコイダン分解活性は検出できなかった。そのため、他生物のフコイダン分解酵素の一次構造情報を得るために、新規細菌のスクリーニングを行い、1種類のフコイダン分解細菌を単離した。そのゲノム解析を行った結果、少なくとも3種類の候補タンパク質が存在することが分かった。

近年、石油系プラスチックが地球環境や生態系に及ぼす影響が懸念されており、その代替素材として生分解性ポリマーの利用が注目されている。本研究では、それらのうちバイオマスが原料となるポリヒドロキシ酪酸(PHB)に着目した。先に、申請者は海砂からPHB分解能をもつ新しい真菌を単離した。同菌の培養液上清にはPHB分解酵素活性が検出されたため、その酵素の同定と性状解析を目的として研究を進めた。さらに、同酵素の遺伝子を用いて組換え酵素の大量発現システムの構築に取り組んだ。
PHBを含む培養液で本菌を培養すると、その上清中には2つの主要タンパク質(約35 kDaと40 kDa)がSDS-ポリアクリルアミドゲル(PAGE)上で検出された。これらのタンパク質を泳動前に加熱処理を行わなかった場合には、同じSDS-PAGE条件下では検出されず、約110 kDaのタンパク質が出現した。そのため、これらのタンパク質はSDSが存在していても複合体を形成できる可能性が示唆された。加熱処理後の各タンパク質について、N末端配列を調べた結果、それぞれ7アミノ酸が決定されたが、互いに一致しない配列であった。これらの実験と並行して、本菌からmRNAを抽出し、次世代シーケンサーを用いてトランスクリプトームデータベースを構築した。各N末端配列を照合した結果、それぞれ完全に一致するアミノ酸配列をコードするタンパク質の遺伝子が一つずつ見出された。次に、各cDNAのクローニングを行いアミノ酸配列を決定した結果、いずれもN末端側に分泌シグナルと予測される配列が存在し、PHB分解に必須と考えられる触媒残基も保存されていた。これらについて、昆虫細胞分泌発現系を構築し、組換えタンパク質を発現した結果、約40 kDaのタンパク質だけがPHBを分解できることが分かった。

Brown algae biosynthesize unique polysaccharides and carotenoids that are rarely found in other organisms. It has been reported that some of these components exhibit interesting physiological activities that are useful for human beings. Therefore, these compounds have been drawing attention. Although some candidate enzymes involving these biosynthesis pathways have been predicted through massive gene researches of brown algae, there is poor information on functional enzymes at the protein level. In this study, we elucidated the functions of mannuronate C5-epimerase, which is involved in the sequencing of the polysaccharide alginate, and the function of alginate-degrading enzymes of brown algae, whose existence could not be found at the gene level. We also produced a lycopene-synthesizing Escherichia coli and it was used for functional identification of an enzyme involving β-carotene biosynthesis in brown algae.

Herbivorous marine gastropods such as abalone and sea hare are considered to assimilate seaweed alginate using a specific alginate-metabolic enzymes. However, these enzymes had not been identified yet. In the present study, we investigated the alginate-assimilating enzymes of abalone, and have successfully identified an unsaturated alfa-keto acid (DEH) reducing enzyme HdRed and an alfa-keto-deoxygluconate (KDG) aldolase HdAld. These enzymes along with alginate lyases HdAly and HdAlex, which were previously identified by us, are considered to form an alginate-degrading and assimilating pathway as follows. 1) Alginate is degraded to DEH by HdAly and HdAlex. 2) DEH is reduced to KDG by HdRed. 3) KDG is split to pyruvate (PA) and glyceraldehyde (GA) by HdAld. 4) The thus resulted PA and GA are converted to acetyl CoA and assimilated by TCA cycle. This metabolic pathway was considered to distribute over many herbivorous gastropods.

The amino acid sequence of SjMLP, which was a novel protein found in protoplast cells of brown alga (Saccharina japonica), shows high homology to other myosins. Interestingly, it is deficient a series of sequence after the converter region of a typical myosin heavy chain. Recombinant SjMLP bound to F-actin regardless of the presence or absence of ATP, but F-actin was bundled only when ATP was present. In addition, it was suggested that SjMLP is expressed specifically in protoplasts, but a protein having a typical myosin structure, in which the C - terminal part of SjMLP is extended, was expressed in algal cells before protoplast preparation. Since the osmotic pressure surrounding habitat of S. japonica varies depending on various environmental factors, SjMLP is considered to adapt to such changes through increasing the cell strength by F-actin bundling.

Herbivorous marine gastropods like abalone and sea hare possess various polysaccharide-degrading enzymes which can degrade seaweeds' polysaccharides such as alginate, laminaran, mannan, xylane, and cellulose to oligo- and monosaccharides. These saccharides are considered to be metabolized via glycolytic pathway and TCA cycle. In the present study, we isolated several polysaccharide-degrading enzymes, e.g., alginate lyase, laminarinase and mannanase, from abalone and sea hare and investigated their biological roles in the metabolism of seaweeds' polysaccharides in gastropods.

A cDNA encoding myosin-like protein(LjMLP)was cloned from brown alga Laminaria japonica. LjMLP consists of 634 amino acids, which showed the significant homology with sequences of other species myosin motor domain, but there is no region corresponding to loop-2, converter, neck, and tail domains of other myosins in LjMLP. Recombinant LjMLP(rLjMLP)was expressed in insect cells and purified in the absence or presence of L. japonica calmodulin (LjCaM). When rLjMLP was co-expressed with rLjCaM, purified rLjMLP showed that actin-activated Mg-ATPase and actin translocation activities. rLjCaM showed the highest Mg-ATPase activity(0.68 1/sec)at 25℃ in the presence of 40μM F-actin. Actin movement was observed with the velocity of 0.03μm/sec at 25℃ in in vitro motility assay. Genomic DNA analysis revealed LjMLP gene was comprised of four exons interleaved with three introns. According to RT-PCR analysis, mRNA of LjMLP was expressed independent of cultivated-season of L. japonica.

本研究では、申請者らのグループによりクローン化されたエゾアワビ・アルギン酸リアーゼ(HdAly)および同セルラーゼ(HdEG66)をコードするcDNAを用いて、組み換えバキュロウィルスを調製し、昆虫細胞Sf9に感染後、組み換え酵素を分泌発現させた。精製組み換え酵素は、SDS-PAGE上で、ほぼ単一のバンドとして検出された。組み換えHdAlyの性状解析を行った結果、至適温度および同pHは、天然のHdAlyと同等であったが、熱安定性は天然のものと比べて約5℃低かった。これは、組み換えHdAlyの糖鎖修飾が天然のものと異なっているためと考えられた。また、組み換えHdEG66の性状を調べた結果、比活性は天然のものとほぼ同じ値をもつことが明らかになり、至適温度、同pH、および熱安定性も天然のものと同等であった。
組み換え酵素およびセルラーゼオノズカを用いて、マコンブのプロトプラスト化能を検討した結果、組み換えHdAly 150 U/mlとセルラーゼオノズカ 5 U/mlを加えて藻体を人工海水中で3時間、17℃で処理したときにプロトプラスト作出能が最大(2x10^7 cells/g fresh weight)となった。一方、セルラーゼオノズカを同活性の組み換えHdEG66に置換した場合には、プロトプラストは観察されなかった。組み換えHdEG66を最大100 U/mlとなるように加えた場合でも同様であった。これらの結果は、組み換えHdAlyはセルラーゼオノズカと混合使用することにより、マコンブからプロトプラストの調製は可能であるが、組み換えHdEG66はプロトプラストの調製には適さないことを示唆している。また、上記のプロトプラスト作出条件は、ワカメおよびチガイソにも適用可能であったことから、本法は褐藻類のプロトプラスト調製において汎用性が高いと考えられた。
