        Cloning and Identification of a Novel C18-Δ9 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Specific Elongase Gene from DHA-producing Isochrysis galbana H29

        Ming Li,Xiuyuan Ou,Xiangdong Yang,Dongquan Guo,Xueyan Qian,Laijun Xing,Mingchun Li 한국생물공학회 2012 Biotechnology and Bioprocess Engineering Vol.17 No.1

        Isochrysis galbana, a marine prymnesiophyte microalga, is able to produce a high level of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, C22:6n-3). In this article, a novel gene (IgASE2)that encoded a C18-Δ9 polyunsaturase fatty acids specific (C18-Δ9-PUFAs-specific) elongase was isolated and characterized from DHA-rich microalga, I. galbana H29. A full-length cDNA of 1653 bp was cloned by rapidamplification of cDNA ends (RACE) PCR techniques. The IgASE2 contained a 786 bp ORF encoding a protein of 261amino acids that shared 87% identity with the reported Δ9-elongase IgASE1, a 44 bp 5' untranslated region and an 823 bp 3' untranslated region. The function of IgASE2 was demonstrated by its heterologous expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In S. cerevisiae, IgASE2 elongated linoleic acid (LA, C18:2n-6), α-linolenic (ALA, C18:3n-3) to eicosadienoic acid (EDA, C20:2n-6) and eicosatrienoic acid (ETrA, C20:3n-3). The conversion ratios of LA to EDA and ALA to ETrA were 60.47 and 58.36%, respectively. However, IgASE2 could not catalyze the elongation reactions of oleic acid (OA, C18:1n-9) and other fatty acids. These results confirmed that IgASE2 had C18-Δ9-PUFAs-specific elongase activity.

      • Regulatory Role of PopN and Its Interacting Partners in Type III Secretion of Pseudomonas aeruginosa

        Yang, Hongjing,Shan, Zhiying,Kim, Jaewha,Wu, Weihui,Lian, Wei,Zeng, Lin,Xing, Laijun,Jin, Shouguang American Society for Microbiology 2007 Journal of Bacteriology Vol.189 No.7

        <B>ABSTRACT</B><P>The type III secretion system (T3SS) of <I>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</I> plays a significant role in pathogenesis. We have previously identified type III secretion factor (TSF), which is required for effective secretion of the type III effector molecules, in addition to the low calcium signal. TSF includes many low-affinity high-capacity calcium binding proteins, such as serum albumin and casein. A search for the TSF binding targets on the bacterial outer membrane resulted in identification of PopN, a component of the T3SS that is readily detectable on the bacterial cell surface. PopN specifically interacts with Pcr1, and both <I>popN</I> and <I>pcr1</I> mutants have a constitutive type III secretion phenotype, suggesting that the two proteins form a complex that functions as a T3SS repressor. Further analysis of the <I>popN</I> operon genes resulted in identification of protein-protein interactions between Pcr1 and Pcr4 and between Pcr4 and Pcr3, as well as between PopN and Pcr2 in the presence of PscB. Unlike <I>popN</I> and <I>pcr1</I> mutants, <I>pcr3</I> and <I>pcr4</I> mutants are totally defective in type III secretion, while a <I>pcr2</I> mutant exhibits reduced type III secretion. Interestingly, PopN, Pcr1, Pcr2, and Pcr4 are all secreted in a type III secretion machinery-dependent manner, while Pcr3 is not. These findings imply that these components have important regulatory roles in controlling type III secretion.</P>
