A gene encoding a superoxide dismutase of the facultative intracellular bacterium Listeria monocytogenes (1992)
Brehm, Klaus ; Haas, Albert ; Goebel, Werner ; Kreft, Jürgen
A gene (Imsod) encoding superoxide dismutase (SOD; EC 1.15.1.1) of the facultative intracellular pathogen, Listeria monocytogenes, was cloned by functional complementation of an SOD-deficient Escherichia coli mutant. The nucleotide sequence was determined and the deduced amino acid (aa) sequence (202 aa) showed close similarity to manganese-containing SOD's from other organisms. Subunits of the recombinant L. monocytogenes SOD (re-SOD) and of both E. coli SODs formed enzymatically active hybrid enzymes in vivo. DNA/DNA-hybridization experiments showed that this type of recombinant re-sod gene is conserved within the genus Listeria.
Listeriolysin genes: complete sequence of ilo from Listeria ivanovii and of lso from Listeria seeligeri (1992)
Haas, Albert ; Dumbsky, Martina ; Kreft, Jürgen
The completc DNA scqucnccs coding for thc thiol-activated cytolysins from Listeria ivanovii, ivanolysin 0 (ILO) and for sccligerolysin 0 (LSO) from Listeria seeligeri have been dctermined. Thc deduced amino acid scquences revealed that: (i) the primary translation products comprise 528 (ILO) and 530 (LSO) amino acids. respectively. (ii) ILO contains two cysteines. LSO has a substitution in the conserved cysteine motif.
Cloning, characterization, and expression in Escherichia coli of a gene encoding Listeria seeligeri catalase, a bacterial enzyme highly homologous to mammalian catalases (1991)
Haas, Albert ; Brehm, Klaus ; Kreft, Jürgen ; Goebel, Werner
A gene coding for catalase (hydrogen-peroxide:hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase; EC 1.11.1.6) of the grain-positive bacterium Listeria seeligeri was cloned from a plasmid library of EcoRI-digested chromosomal DNA, with Escherichia coli DHSa as a host. The recombinant catalase was expressed in E. coli to an enzymatic activity approximately SO times that of the combined E. coli catalases. The nucleutide sequence was determined, and the deduced amino acid sequence revealed 43.2% amino acid sequence identity between bovine liver catalase and L. seeligeri catalase. Most of the amino acid residues which are involved in catalytic activity, the formation of the active center accession channel, and heme binding in bovine liver catalase were also present in L. seeligeri catalase at the corresponding positions. The recombinant protein contained 488 amino acid residues and had a calculated molecular weight of 55,869. The predicted isoelectric point was 5.0. Enzymatic and genetic analyses showed that there is most probably a single catalase of this type in L. seeligeri. A perfect 21-bp inverted repeat, which was highly homologous to previously reported binding sequences of the Fur (ferric uptake regulon) protein of E. coli, was detected next to the putative promoter region of tbe L. seeligeri catalase gene.
Expression of antibiotic resistance genes from Escherichia coli in Bacillus subtilis (1983)
Kreft, Jürgen ; Burger, Klaus J. ; Goebel, Werner
Bifunctional recombinant plasmids were constructed, comprised of the E. coli vectors pBR322, pBR325 and pACYC184 and different plasmids from Gram-positive bacteria, e.g. pBSU161-1 of B. subtilis and pUB110 and pC221 of S. aureus. The beta-lactamase (bla) gene and the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (cat) gene from the E. coli plasmids were not transcribed and therefore not expressed in B. subtilis. However, tetracycline resistance from the E. coli plasmids was expressed in B. subtilis. Transcription of the tetracycline resistance gene(s) started in B. subtilis at or near the original E. coli promoter, the sequence of which is almost identical with the sequence recognized by σ<sup>55</sup> of B. subtilis RNA polymerase.
Cloning and expression in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis of the hemolysin (cereolysin) determinant from Bacillus cereus (1983)
Kreft, Jürgen ; Berger, Harald ; Härtlein, Michael ; Müller, Bodo ; Weidinger, Gerhard ; Goebel, Werner
From a cosmid gene bank of Bacillus cereus GP4 in Escherichia coli we isolated clones which, after several days of incubation, formed hemolysis zones on erythrocyte agar plates. These clones contained recombinant cosmids with B. cereus DNA insertions of varying lengths which shared some common restriction fragments. The smallest insertionwas recloned as aPstl fragment into pJKK3-1, a shuttle vector which repücates in Bacillus subtilis and E. coli. When this recombinant plasmid (pJKK3-1 hly-1) was transformed into E. coli, it caused hemolysis on erythrocyte agar plates, but in liquid assays no extemal or intemal hemolytic activity could be detected with the E. coli transformants. B. subtilis carrying the same plasmid exhibited hemolytic activity at Ievels comparable to those ofthe B. cereus donor strain. The hemolysin produced in B. subtilis seemed to be indistinguishable from cereolysin in its sensitivity to cholesterol, activation by dithiothreitol, and inactivation by antibodies raised against cereolysin. When the recombinant DNA carrying the cereolysin gene was used as a probe in hybridization experiments with chromosomal DNA from a streptolysin 0-producing strain of Streptococcus pyogenes or from üsteriolysin-producing strains of Usteria monoeytogenes, no positive hybridization signals were obtained. These data soggest that the genes for these three SH-activated cytolysins do not have extended sequence homology.
Production, purification and characterization of hemolysins from Listeria ivanovii and Listeria monocytogenes Sv4b. (1989)
Kreft, Jürgen ; Funke, Dorothee ; Haas, Albert ; Lottspeich, Friedrich ; Goebel, Werner
In culture supematants of both Listeria ivanovii and Listeria monocytogenes Sv4b, for the first time a hemolysin of molecular weight 58 kDa was identified, which had all the characteristics of an SH-activated cytolysin, and which was therefore identified as Iisteriolysin 0 (LLO). In the case of L. ivanovii a second major supematant protein of molecular weight 24 kDa co-purified with LLO. However, the function of this protein has to be determined. In culture supematants of L. ivanovii a sphingomyelinase and a Iecithinase activity could be detected, both enzymatic activities together contributing to the pronounced hemolysis caused by L. ivanovii. The N-tenninal amino acid sequences of LLO and the 24 kDa from L. ivanovii are shown.
