Abstract
- In this study, the gene encoding Bacillus sp. HJ171 uracil-DNA glycosylase (Bsp HJ171 UDG) was cloned and sequenced. The Bsp HJ171 UDG gene consists of a 738-bp DNA sequence, which encodes for a protein that is 245-amino-acid residues in length. The deduced amino acid sequence of the Bsp HJ171 UDG had a high sequence similarity with other bacterial UDGs. The molecular mass of the protein derived from this amino acid sequence was 27.218 kDa. The Bsp HJ171 UDG gene was expressed under the control of a T7lac promoter in the pTYB1 plasmid in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The expressed enzyme was purified in one step using the Intein Mediated Purification with an Affinity Chitin-binding Tag purification system. The optimal temperature range, pH, NaCl concentration, and KCl concentration of the purified enzyme was 20-25 degrees C, 8.0, 25 and 25 mM, respectively. The half-life of the enzyme at 40 degrees C and 50 degrees C were approximately 131 and 45 s, respectively. These heat-labile characteristics enabled Bsp HJ171 UDG to control carry-over contamination in the polymerase chain reaction product (PCR) without losing the PCR product.
