Embodiment 1

[0081] [Example 1] Investigation of YoeB protein-lytic enzyme interaction

[0082] In this example, the interaction between the YoeB protein (SEQ ID NO: 2) encoded by the YoeB (SEQ ID NO: 1) gene and the CwlE protein encoded by the CwlE gene (SEQ ID NO: 3) was examined.

[0083] Specifically, the WE1YoeB3FL strain induced by IPTG to express the YoeB-3×FLAG protein and the WE1E3FL strain induced by IPTG to express the Cw1E-3×FLAG protein were firstly constructed. WE1YoeB3FL strain and WE1E3FL strain were prepared using WE1 strain (Yamamoto, H. et al., 2003 "Localization of the vegetative cell wallhydrases LytC, LytE, LytF on the Bacillus subtilis cell surface and stability of these enzymes to cell wall-bound or extracellular proteases (nutrient Localization of the cell wall hydrolytic enzymes LytC, LytE, LytF on the cell surface of Bacillus subtilis and the stability of these enzymes to cell wall-bound or extracellular proteases)" J. Becteriol., 185: 6666-6677). The WE1 strain...

[0102] [Example 2] Effect of YoeB protein on inhibiting lytic enzyme activity 1

[0103] In this example, the mode of action of the YoeB protein on the cell wall lytic activity of the lytic enzyme was investigated by an activity assay in liquid. In this example, the cell wall lytic activity of the C-terminal active domain (CwlECTD) of CwlE was measured in the presence or absence of YoeB protein using the cell wall component prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 as a substrate.

[0104] In this example, cell wall lytic activity was determined using 20 mM MES buffer (pH 6.5). Wash with assay buffer and OD 540 =0.6 corresponding to the amount of cell wall components, and the cell walls were pelleted by centrifugation. Remove the supernatant, add 2 ml of assay buffer to the pellet to prepare a suspension, prepare the cell wall fraction, and divide the final OD 540 The value was adjusted to 0.3, and the resultant was designated as the substrate solution.

Abstract

The object is to modulate the cell wall lysis acticity of a lytic enzyme and inhibit the lysis of a microbial cell. Disclosed is a lytic enzyme inhibitor or a lysis inhibitor comprising a YoeB proteinencoded by a YoeB gene derived from Bacillus subtilis or a homologous gene corresponding to the YoeB gene as the main ingredient. An example of the YoeB protein is a protein comprising an amino acidsequence depicted in SEQ ID NO:2.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a lytic enzyme inhibitor capable of inhibiting the lytic activity of a given Bacillus subtilis-derived lytic enzyme, a lysis inhibitor capable of inhibiting the lysis of microorganisms, a microorganism whose lysis is inhibited, poly-γ-glutamic acid Degradation inhibitor and method for producing poly-γ-glutamic acid. Background technique [0002] Bacillus subtilis lysozyme plays a key role in the life cycle, such as cell division, lysis of mother cells in the sporulation phase, germination of spores, etc. Bacillus subtilis has different lytic enzymes that are specifically expressed according to, for example, the process of cell division or the stage of sporulation. Many of these lytic enzymes have a binding domain that binds to the cell wall and an active domain that lyses the cell wall. As a lytic enzyme expressed in the logarithmic growth phase of Bacillus subtilis, CwlB is known (see Kuroda, A. and J. Sekiguchi, 199...
