Problems solved by technology

However, the three-dimensional structures of urucilin proteins have still not been reported and little is known about the factors and motifs that mediate and influence their targeting to PHA particles (Pieper-Fürst et al. [18b])

[0192] b) Preparation of electroporation competent cells

[0193] Plasmids were transferred to Rhodococcus opacus PD630 and M. 2 155 in. For Rhodococcus opacus PD630, prepare electroporation competent cells as described by Kalscheuer et al. [10], for Mycobacterium smegmatis mc 2 155. Preparation of electroporation competent cells was performed as described by Snapper et al. [23].

[0194] c) Preparation of crude cell extract, soluble fraction and TAG content

[0195] Cells of Rhodococcus opacus and M. smegmatis were grown in MSM with reduced ammonium concentrations as described above, collected by centrifugation (20 minutes, 6000×g, 4° C.) and resuspended in two volumes of 0.1 M sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7. 5) in. After passing through the French press (1000MPa) three times, the crude extract was obtained. To obtain the soluble fraction, cellular debris was removed from the crude extract by centrifugation at 16000xg for 30 minutes at 4°C, followed by centrifugation at 1...

Embodiment A1

[0246] Example A1: phaP1 in M. smegmatis mc 2 Distribution of expression and translation products in subcellular fractions in recombinant strains of 155 and Rhodococcus opacus PD630

[0247] To determine the heterologous expression of egfp, phaP1 and phaP1-egfp in recombinant actinomycetes, crude cell extracts from cells grown for 72 h under ammonium-reduced conditions were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting as described in the Methods section and cell part. Electropherograms of M. smegmatis cells harboring pJAM2::phaP1 showed an additional protein with an apparent molecular weight of 25 kDa when induced with 0.5% (w / v) acetamide. This molecular weight (MW) corresponds well to the calculated molecular weight of His6-tagged PhaP1. His6-tagged PhaP1 was readily recognized on corresponding Western blots using anti-PhaP1 IgG. However, the synthesis of His6-tagged PhaP1 was significantly less compared to the strain synthesizing the 52kDaPhaP1-eGFP fusion and the unfused 2...

Embodiment A2

[0250] Example A2: PhaP1-eGFP fusion protein in recombinant Rhodococcus opacus PD630 and Mycobacterium smegmatis mc 2 Distribution in 155.

[0251] To confirm the association of PhaP1-eGFP with TAG inclusions in Rhodococcus opacus, by fluorescence microscopy, under conditions grown in Std1 medium and also allowing TAG accumulation when formation of large intracellular TAG inclusions occurs in the cytoplasm, The distribution of the fusion protein was studied in cells grown in ammonium-reduced MSM for 24, 48 and 72 hours. The fluorescence of the fusion proteins is predominantly associated with the TAG content at all stages of their formation. Whereas in cells grown in Std1 medium, the fluorescence was associated with nascent TAG inclusions at the plasma membrane, whereas in cells grown in ammonium-reduced MSM for 24, 48, and 72 hours it was predominantly associated with mature TAG inclusions in the cytoplasm matter binding ( image 3 A-D). Fluorescence was also present to th...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of targeting a protein of interest to an intracellular hydrophobic inclusion body of a bacterial cell by means of a fusion protein comprising a hydrophobic targeting peptide operatively linked with said protein of interest; methods of microbial production of a lipophilic compound of interest by means of a recombinant bacterial host comprising intracellular inclusion bodies having at least one enzyme which is involved in the biosynthesis of said lipophilic compound targeted to said inclusion bodies; as well as corresponding fusion proteins, coding sequences, expression vectors and recombinant hosts.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to methods for targeting a protein of interest to intracellular hydrophobic inclusion bodies of bacterial cells by fusion comprising a hydrophobic target peptide operably linked to said protein of interest; the present invention relates to the production of target proteins by recombinant bacterial host microorganisms A method for a lipophilic compound, said recombinant bacterial host comprising an intracellular inclusion body with at least one enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of said lipophilic compound targeted to said inclusion body; the invention also relates to the corresponding Fusions, coding sequences, expression vectors and recombinant hosts. Background technique [0002] Most organisms are capable of accumulating hydrophobic compounds such as triacylglycerol (TAG), wax esters (waxesters, WE), sterol esters (sterols esters) or polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA). These proteins and polymers are deposited as intracellular inclusions and f...
