Abstract

ABSTRACT: Streptomyces sampsonii is a kind of biocontrol bacterium with antifungal effects, and chitinase is one of the main antifungal substances. To improve and further study the structure and function of the chitinase gene of S. sampsonii, we amplified the target fragment by PCR, ligated the fragment to the expression vector pET-32a, introduced the resulting plasmid into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) and induced expression of the chitinase. Then, the recombinant chitinase was purified by is-labelled protein micro purification kit. A chitinase gene, Sschi61, was cloned from the genome and expressed in a prokaryote. The antifungal effect of the recombinant protein was also studied. Finally, the chitinase gene Sschi61 with a length of 1755 bp was obtained, and the expression of the 82 kDa recombinant chitinase was induced in E. coli by IPTG. The recombinant chitinase could inhibit the black spot pathogen of Eucommia ulmoides (Pestalotiopsis trachicarpicola). After the hyphae of the pathogen of black spot of Eucommia ulmoides (Pestalotiopsis trachicarpicola) were soaked with recombinant chitinase, the hyphae cells expanded, broke, and dissolved.RESUMO: Streptomyces sampsonii é uma espécie de bactéria de biocontrole com efeitos antifúngicos, sendo a quitinase uma das principais substâncias desse tipo. Para melhorar e estudar mais a estrutura e função do gene da quitinase de S. sampsonii, amplificamos o fragmento alvo por PCR, ligamos o fragmento ao vetor de expressão pET-32a, introduzimos o plasmídeo resultante em Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) e induzimos expressão da quitinase. Em seguida, a quitinase recombinante foi purificada pelo kit de micropurificação de proteína marcada. Um gene da quitinase, Sschi61, foi clonado do genoma e expresso em um procarioto. O efeito antifúngico da proteína recombinante também foi estudado. Finalmente, o gene da quitinase Sschi61 foi obtido, contando comprimento de 1755 pb, e a expressão da quitinase recombinante de 82 kDa foi induzida em E. coli por IPTG. A quitinase recombinante pode inibir o patógeno da mancha preta de Eucommia ulmoides (Pestalotiopsis trachicarpicola). Após as hifas do patógeno da mancha preta de Eucommia ulmoides (Pestalotiopsis trachicarpicola) serem embebidas com quitinase recombinante, as células das hifas se expandiram, quebraram e se dissolveram.
