The production of extracellular galactose oxidase is limited to a few fungal species, including the important plant pathogens Fusarium graminearum and F. moniliforme. The best-studied enzyme is the one produced by the mycoparasitic fungus Cladobotryum (Dactylium) dendroides NRRL 2903. The NRRL 2903 strain was first mis-identified as Polyporus circinatus and later re-determined as Dactylium dendroides, although sporulation was never observed and the fungus was regarded as sterile. Upon growth at 25-degrees-C, 50 rpm, in liquid medium containing 2% cellulose as the sole carbon source, and in the presence of 0.5-0.75% yeast extract, conidial production was induced in NRRL 2903, which was re-identified as Fusarium sp. The only other known commercial strain of Cladobotryum (Dactylium) dendroides able to produce galactose oxidase, ATCC 46032, also produced fusiform conidia upon growth in cellulose-containing medium, and was shown to be genetically identical to the NRRL 2903 strain. Genetic comparison with six different representative strains of Cladobotryum dendroides (teleomorph: Hypomyces rosellus), and four strains of the closely related Hypomyces aurantius, based on the analysis of the presence or absence of a homologous galactose oxidase gene (gaoA), RAPD-PCR and RFLP analysis, confirm the distinct nature of the NRRL 2903 strain and Cladobotryum dendroides. Despite the resemblance of NRRL 2903 conidia and conidiophores to those of Fusarium chlamydosporum genetic comparison, with three different strains, suggests NRRL 2903 cannot be re-identified as F. chlamydosporum. Two of the strains, however, contain a region in their genome that is highly homologous to the galactose oxidase gene (gaoA), and one strain exhibits extracellular galactose oxidase activity but only partial homology to the gaoA gene of NRRL 2903.

Cloning, characterization and heterologous expression of the aspartokinase and aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase genes from the cephamycin C producer streptomyces clavuligerus
Tunca, Sedef; Özcengiz, Gülay; Piret, Jacqueline; Department of Biotechnology (2002)
The carbon flow through the lysine branch of aspartate pathway is a rate limiting step in the formation of cephamycin C, a broad spectrum P-lactam antibiotic produced by Streptomyces clavuligerus. In this study, the ask m(aspartokinase) and asd (aspartate semialdehyde dehydrogenase) genes which encode the enzymes catalyzing the first two steps of aspartate pathway were cloned and characterized as the first time from S. clavuligerus NRRL 3585. This was accomplished by constructing four mini-libraries of S. c...
Expression and activity analyses of industrially important extracellular enzymes produced by a bacilysin knock-out mutant of Bacillus Subtilis
Aytekin, Samet; Özcengiz, Gülay; Okay, Sezer; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2018)
Bacilysin, the smallest peptide antibiotic known to date, is produced non-ribosomally by Bacillus subtilis by the collective actions of seven proteins transcribed from bacABCDEF operon and bacG gene. Bacilysin is a two-amino acid peptide composed of L-alanine and a modified amino acid, L-anticapsin. Bacilysin biosynthesis was shown to be strongly regulated by quorum sensing through the actions of global regulator proteins including Spo0K, Spo0H, Spo0A, ComQ/ComX, ComP/ComA as well as several Phr proteins, O...
Molecular cloning, characterization, and homologous expression of an endochitinase gene from Bacillus thuringiensis serovar morrisoni
Okay, Sezer; Özcengiz, Gülay (2011-01-01)
The endochitinase gene (chi3023) of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) serovar morrisoni strain 3023 was amplified via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and cloned in Escherichia coli. The ORF of chi3023 (GenBank Accession Number: DQ993175) consists of 2031 nucleotides encoding a 676-residue protein with a calculated molecular mass of 74.5 kDa and a pI value of 6.0. The amino acid sequence of Chi3023 was compared with previously sequenced Bt chitinases and the phylogenetic relationships among them were determined. T...
Cloning and expression of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase 1 from Rhizopus oryzae
Uyar, Ebru Ozer; Yucel, Meral; Hamamcı, Haluk (2016-05-01)
Trehalose is a reducing disaccharide acting as a protectant against environmental stresses in many organisms. In fungi, Trehalose-6-phosphate synthase 1 (TPS1) plays a key role in the biosynthesis of trehalose. In this study, a full-length cDNA from Rhizopus oryzae encoding TPS1 (designated as RoTPS1) was isolated. The RoTPS1 cDNA is composed of 2505 nucleotides and encodes a protein of 834 amino acids with a molecular mass of 97.8kDa. The amino acid sequence of RoTPS1 has a relatively high homology with th...
Cloning and expression of gerE and glmS genes in Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis, and investigation of their possible interrelation with bacilysin biosynthesis
Akaysoy, Sergen; Özcengiz, Gülay; Department of Biology (2022-9-15)
Bacillus subtilis is the Gram-positive model bacterium that enzymatically produces the dipeptide antibiotic bacilysin. Bacilysin is the simplest bioactive peptide known composed of L-alanine at its N-terminal and L-anticapsin at its C-terminal. In a former work in our laboratory, a mutant strain of B. subtilis, namely OGU1 was constructed by bacA-targeted pMutin T3 insertion into the parental strain PY79 genome resulting in a genomic organization bacA′::lacZ::erm::bacABCDEF and unable to synthesize bacilysi...
