Expression of Cloned Homologous Fermentative Genes in Clostridium Acetobutylicum ATCC 824
Abstract
We have previously cloned the acetone-formation pathway gene, encoding acetoacetate decarboxylase (adc), and butyrate-formation pathway gene, encoding phosphotransbutyrylase (ptb), of Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 in Escherichia coli. Here we report their subcloning in Bacillus subtilis and transfer to strain ATCC 824 via electrotransformation, where the corresponding enzyme activities were expressed at elevated levels, using pFNK1, a new B. subtilis/C. acetobutylicum shuttle vector. Plasmid pFNK1 was used because shuttle vectors that function in E. coli were unable to electrotransform ATCC 824 unless they became deleted in the E. coli-plasmid regions. The difficulties with shuttle vectors that function in E. coli are probably due to the presence of a restriction endonuclease in ATCC 824. This endonuclease recognizes the sequence 5'-GCNGC-3', which is prevalent in E. coli plasmids but occurs infrequently in pFNK1 and C. acetobutylicum genes. Cloning of genes in C. acetobutylicum is critical for redirecting the cellular metabolism (metabolic engineering) as well as for genetic studies of this industrial organism.

“Some of the well-studied, non-acetogenic clostridia, such as the ABE model organisms C. acetobutylicum (Mermelstein et al., 1992) and C. beijerinckii (Oultram et al., 1988), and important pathogens, such as C. difficile (Ackermann et al., 2001) and C. botulinum (Zhou and Johnson, 1993), have transformation protocols that were established as early as 1988.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
