    摘要: Novel methods are disclosed for the enhanced expression and secretion of lactase from filamentous fungi. Specifically the novel processes cause enhanced production of lactase from an Aspergillus and preferably enhanced production of A. oryzae lactase from A. oryzae host strains transformed with necessary DNA. Also described are the DNA sequence encoding the lactase gene from A. oryzae and the deduced amino acid sequence of the lactase therefrom.

    摘要: A cloned chitobiase from a Vibrio parahemolyticus gene cloned into the plasmid pUC18 in E. coli strain DH5.alpha.. The plasmid construct, called pC120, had a 6.4 kb DNA insert. The recombinant gene expressed chitobiase activity similar to that found in native V. parahemolyticus. In addition to chitobiose, at least six additional substrates were observed to be hydrolyzed by the recombinant chitobiase, including .beta.-N-acetyl galactosamine glycosides, showing that the enzyme is an N-acetyl-hexosaminidase. The enzyme showed resistance to denaturation by 2M NaCl, was thermostable at 45.degree. C., and possessed an unusual range of activity from pH 5 to 9. The enzyme is useful in the degradation of crustacean shells. It catalyzes the production of N-acetyl-glucosamine, a compound which should be valuable as a chiral precursor or intermediate in the synthesis or manufacture of pharmaceutical compounds.

    摘要: Two osmotic stress- and ABA-responsive members of the endochitinase (EC 3.2.1.14) gene family has been isolated and identified from leaves of drought-stressed Lycopersicon chilense plants. The 966-base-pair insert of pcht28 encodes an acidic chitinase precursor with an amino-terminal signal peptide. The mature protein is predicted to have 229 amino acid residues with a relative molecular weight of 24,943 and pI value of 6.2. The same number in amino acids, molecular and PI value are predicted for the protein encoded by pchtI, despite of a slight variation in the DNA and amino acid sequences. Sequence analysis revealed that pcht28 and pchtI have a high degree of homology with class II chitinases (EC 3.2.1.14) from tobacco. Northern blot analysis indicated that these genes have evolved a completely different pattern of expression from others reported thus far. They are highly induced by both osmotic stress and the plant hormone abscisic acid. Southern blot analysis of genomic DNA suggested that the pcht28- and pchtI-related chitinase is encoded by a small multigene family in this species. Knowing the role of plant chitinase in plant defense against fungal pathogens, it is assumed that, besides their general defensive function, the pcht28- and pchtI-encoded chitinases may play a particular role in protecting plants from pathogen attack during water stress.

    摘要: Novel plants are described which produce and secrete chitinase as the result of the introduction of foreign DNA linked to a sequence encoding chitinase, an enzyme capable of degrading chitin present in fungi and nematodes. Novel plants that are resistant to cold damage are also described which are created by introduction of DNA encoding for the production of chitinase. The plants of the invention may also have enhanced levels of reducing sugars or sweetness, or produce fruit having enhanced levels of reducing sugars or sweetness, or may be selected for enhanced post-harvest storage life.
