초록

With the purpose of facilitating the process of stable strain generation, a shuttle vector for integration of genes via a double recombination event into two ectopic sites on the Sulfolobus acidocaldarius chromosome was constructed. The novel chromosomal integration and expression vector pINEX contains a pyrE gene from S. solfataricus P2 (pyrEsso) as an auxotrophic selection marker, a multiple cloning site with histidine tag, the internal sequences of malE and malG for homologous recombination, and the entire region of pGEM-T vector, except for the multiple cloning region, for propagation in E. coli. For stable expression of the target gene, an α-glucosidase-producing strain of S. acidocaldarius was generated employing this vector. The malA gene (saci_1160) encoding an α-glucosidase from S. acidocaldarius fused with the glutamate dehydrogenase (gdhAsaci) promoter and leader sequence was ligated to pINEX to generate pINEX_malA. Using the “pop-in” and “pop-out” method, the malA gene was inserted into the genome of MR31 and correct insertion was verified by colony PCR and sequencing. This strain was grown in YT medium without uracil and purified by His-tag affinity chromatography. The α-glucosidase activity was confirmed by the hydrolysis of pNPαG. The pINEX vector should be applicable in delineating gene functions in this organism.

Abstract

With the purpose of facilitating the process of stable strain generation, a shuttle vector for integration of genes via a double recombination event into two ectopic sites on the Sulfolobus acidocaldarius chromosome was constructed.

For stable expression of the target gene, an α-glucosidase-producing strain of S. acidocaldarius was generated employing this vector. The malA gene (saci_1160) encoding an α-glucosidase from S. acidocaldarius fused with the glutamate dehydrogenase (gdhAsaci) promoter and leader sequence was ligated to pINEX to generate pINEX_malA.
