RESUMO
The structural gene coding for the delta 5-3-ketosteroid isomerase (KSI) of Pseudomonas putida biotype B has been cloned, and its entire nucleotide sequence has been determined by a dideoxynucleotide chain termination method. A 2.1-kb DNA fragment containing the ksi gene was cloned from a P. putida biotype B genomic library in lambda gt11. The open reading frame of ksi encodes 393 nucleotides, and the amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence agrees with the directly determined amino acid sequence (K. Linden and W. F. Benisek, J. Biol. Chem. 261:6454-6460, 1986). A putative purine-rich ribosome binding site was found 8 bp upstream of the ATG start codon. Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) transformed with the pKK-KSI plasmid containing the ksi gene expressed a high level of isomerase activity when induced by isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside. KSI was purified to homogeneity by a simple and rapid procedure utilizing fractional precipitation and an affinity column of deoxycholate-ethylenediamine-agarose as a major chromatographic step. The molecular weight of KSI was 14,535 (calculated, 14,536) as determined by electrospray mass spectrometry. The purified KSI showed a specific activity (39,807 mumol min-1 mg-1) and a Km (60 microM) which are close to those of KSI originally obtained from P. putida biotype B.
