英文摘要 | The hetR gene plays a very important role in cell differentiation of heterocystous cyanobacteria, To understand the mechanism of the hetR gene product in regulation of heterocyst differentiation, the recombinant HetR protein (rHetR) was overproduced in Escherichia coli, Purified rHetR was unstable and degraded easily in solution, Phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride, a serine-type protease inhibitor, prevented the degradation and was shown to modify covalently rHetR, Dansyl fluoride (DnsF), another serine-type protease inhibitor, also covalently modifies rHetR as shown by electrophoresis and electroblotting of the labeled rHetR and by MS. The labeling of rHetR with phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride and DnsF was at the same site of rHetR and required Ca2+. S179N-rHetR, a mutant protein from strain 216 of Anabaena PCC 7120, which cannot differentiate heterocysts because of the mutation, was also overproduced and characterized. Although S170N-rHetR still can be labeled with DnsF, no proteolysis was observed, suggesting that Ser179 is involved in proteolytic activity. DnsF-labeled rHetR was digested with trypsin, and the labeled peptide was isolated and sequenced, The labeled peptide matches a sequence from HetR, These results show that HetR is a protease.; Multidisciplinary Sciences; SCI(E); 77; 9; 4959-4963; 95 |
