Construction and Expression of a Recombinant Urease Gene Cluster from Campylobacter Sputorum Biovar Paraureolyticus

Abstract Recombinant full-length urease gene cluster and seven 100% deletion recombinant variants of urease subunits genes, (ureG, ureH, ureA, ureB, ureC, ureE and ureF) were constructed in vitro from the Campylobacter sputorum biovar paraureolyticus LMG17591 strain and expressed in Escherichia coli JM109 cells. A urease-positive reaction (1.885 μmol/min/mg protein) in the log-phase cultured E. coli cells transformed with pGEM-T vector carrying the recombinant full-length urease genes cluster was detected. Among the seven 100% deletion recombinant variants, each of the ureG-, ureH(D)-, ureA-, ureB-, ureC-, ureE- and ureF-deletion variants showed no change in assay of the urease reaction, and similarly as in the E. coli cell lysate with pGEM-T vector only. Recombinant full-length urease gene cluster and 100% deletion recombinants of the ureE gene in the transformed and log-phase cultured E. coli cells from the C. sputorum showed positively accelerated urease activities when cultured in the medium containing NiCl2 (750 μmol/L), but no activity was accelerated in the C. sputorum cultured in NiCl2. In addition, thiourea (20 mmol/L) completely inhibited urease activities from all C. sputorum examined. The putative recombinant urease subunits A and C were immunologically identified by Western blot analysis with polyclonal anti-urease α (A) and β (B), raised against Helicobacter pylori.
