Heterologous expression of diadenylate cyclase in the form of inclusion bodies with enzymatic activity

https://doi.org/10.29235/1561-8323-2022-66-5-509-516

Abstract

Using the DNA recombination technique, a new bacterial strain Escherichia coli DAC-22 was derived, whose cells are able to carry out the heterologous expression of Bacillus thuringiensis diadenylate cyclase – the enzyme catalyzing the reaction of adenosine-5′-triphosphate (ATP) transformation into cyclic 3′,5′-diadenylate (cyclo-di-AMP). To derive the strain, E. coli “Rosetta (DE3) pLysS” cells were originally used as recipients of plasmid pET42a+ with the inserted gene disA encoding diadenylate cyclase of B. thuringiensis. The cells of the recombinant strain are able to produce heterologous diadenylate cyclase localized predominantly (by 90 %) in the fraction of the catalytically active inclusion bodies. The productivity of the new strain with respect to diadenylate cyclase structurally arranged as the inclusion bodies was 720 units/l of cultural fluid. The inclusion bodies formed by the newly engineered strain are intended for use in the technology of producing pharmacologically promising cyclo-di-AMP.
