CLONING AND SEQUENCING OF GENE ENCODING β-GALACTOSIDASE OF BACTERIA ARTHROBACTER SULFONIVORANS

Abstract

A full nucleotide sequence of the β-galactosidase gene (β-gal) was deciphered by cloning in plasmid pJET1.2 of DNA fragments containing β-gal of bacteria Arthrobacter sulfonivorans LF-GAL, their subsequent sequencing and comparison with the known sequences from the GenBank database. It was deposited under access number KM2778940.
The evaluation of the β-gal structure showed that it is composed of 3132 b.p. encoding 1043 amino acids making up a β-galactosidase subunit with a molecular weight of 113.6 kDa. It was found that β-gal of the examined strain is characterized by the highest degree of similarity to the genes encoding β-galactosidase in the genus Arthrobacter (66–72 %).
The amino acid composition of enzyme proteins from A. sulfonivorans LF-GAL matches that of other representatives of the genus Arthrobacter by 59–95 %. The analysis of the enzyme protein amino acid sequence by BLAST software package demonstrated that β-galactosidase of A. sulfonivorans LF-GAL comprises conservative sequences typical for glycosyl hydrolase family 2.
