1 PHYCOCYANIN ALPHA AND BETA SUBUNITS OF Anabaena 2 siamensis TISTR8012 3 4 Wanwisa Suphap and Mariena Ketudat-Cairns* 5 6 Abstract 7 Phycocyanin (PC) is a non-toxic biliprotein consisted of and ß subunits that act as 8 photoharvesting pigment in various cyanobacteria. The PC subunits of Anabaena 9 siamensis TISTR8012 that was isolated from Thai rice paddies have not been studied. 10 The genomic DNA of A. siamensis TISTR8012 was used as template for cpcA; alpha 11 subunit (α subunit) and cpcB; beta subunit (β subunit) amplification. The primers for α 12 and β subunit amplification were designed from the alignment of α and β subunit of A. 13 variabilis ATCC 29413, Arthrospira platensis, Spirulina maxima, A. kisseleviana, A. 14 lemmermannii, A. flos-aquae and A. planktonica. In this paper the PC and ß subunits 15 from A. siamensis TISTR8012 were isolated, sequenced and submitted to NCBI 16 database accession number EU815327 and EU815328, respectively. 17 18 Keywords: Anabaena siamensis TISTR8012, antioxidant and phycocyanin 19 20 School of Biotechnology, Institute of Agricultural Technology, Suranaree University of 21 Technology, 111 University Avenue, Maung District, Nakhon Ratchasima 30000, Thailand, 22 Tel. 0-4422-4355 23 Fax. 0-4422-4154 E-mail: [email protected] 24 *Corresponding author 25 1 1 Introduction 2 Anabaena siamensis is a member of cyanobacteria isolated from rice paddy field in 3 Thailand. Recently this strain has been used in the Thai agricultural sectors as an algal bio- 4 fertilizer for rice fields. It shows high capacity to fix atmospheric N2 and subsequently 5 increase the rice growth rate (Phunpruch et al., 2006). Phycocyanin (PC) is a non-toxic 6 biliprotein consisted of and ß subunits that act as photoharvesting pigment in various 7 cyanobacteria. 8 PC from many cyanobacteria has been reported to work as antioxidant scavenger. For 9 example the recombinant PC β subunit from Anabaena PCC7120 can inhibit cell 10 proliferation and induced apoptosis by promoting cytoskeleton depolymerization and 11 activating the caspase activities that are associated with the extrinsic cell death pathway 12 (Wang et al., 2006). The Cyanobacterial C-phycocyanin (C-PC) holo subunit (holo-CpcA) 13 has been successfully expressed as a fluorescent holo-CpcA in E.coli BL21. The heme 14 oxygenase 1 and 3Z-phycocyanobilin: ferredoxinoxidoreductase enzymes required for 15 conversion of heme to phycocyanobilin (PCB), and cpcA encoding alpha subunit along with 16 cpcE and cpcF both of which necessary and sufficient for the correct addition of PCB to 17 CpcA to occur blue colour were also cloned in the same plasmid (Xiangyu et al., 2007). 18 Native PC has variety of properties, however it is difficult to purify. In this paper the and ß 19 subunits from A. siamensis TISTR8012 were constructed to produce recombinant PC for 20 further used in colorance and antioxidant test, which should be easier to purified than the 21 native PC. 22 However, no study on sequence of PC and ß subunits of A. siamensis TISTR8012 23 has been reported. In this paper, two pairs of primers for cpcA and cpcB genes for α and β 24 subunits were designed from A. variabilis ATCC29413, Arthrospira platensis, Spirulina 25 maxima, A. kisseleviana, A. lemmermannii, A. flos-aquae and A. planktonica. The primers 2 1 were used to amplify the cpcA and cpcB genes from A. siamensis TISTR8012 and cloned into 2 cloning vectors, then sequenced and submitted the sequence to NCBI database and the 3 accession number EU815327 and EU815328 were received, respectively. 4 5 Materials and Methods 6 Cyanobacterial strain 7 A. siamensis TISTR8012 requested from the Thailand Institute of Scientific and 8 Technological Research (TISTR) was cultured in BG11 medium. 9 Primer design 10 Gene specific primers were designed from the alignment of α and β subunits of 7 11 cyanobacteria (A. variabilis ATCC29413, Arthrospira platensis, Spirulina maxima, A. 12 kisseleviana, A. lemmermannii, A. flos-aquae and A. planktonica) for PCR amplification of 13 cpcA and cpcB genes of A. siamensis TISTR8012. Anabaena billiprotein phycocyanin 14 operon accession number X 05239 was used as reference sequence (Belknap and Haselkorn, 15 1987). 16 Genomic DNA extraction 17 A. siamensis TISTR8012 grown in BG 11 medium for 14 days were collected by 18 centrifugation at 14,000 x g, room temperature for 10 min. Genomic DNA were extract by 19 phenol: chloroform: isoamylalcohol method as previously described (Golden et al., 1988). 20 Amplification of cpcA and cpcB genes of PC 21 The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was used to amplify the cpcA and cpcB genes 22 of the α and β subunits of phycocyanin. The cpcA gene primers were used to amplify the α 23 subunit and the cpcB gene primers were used to amplify the β subunit from A. siamensis 24 TISTR8012, respectively. 25 3 1 Cloning of α and β subunits of PC 2 The PCR products were cloned into pENTR/D-TOPO (invitrogen: FIG.1) cloning 3 vector and transformed into E. coli (strain DH5α) by electroporation technique (1,800 v) and 4 plated on LB agar contain 50 g/ml of kanamycin for selection. The plasmid was extracted 5 using QIAprep Spin Miniprep Kit (Qiagen) from the transformant clones and further used for 6 DNA sequencing analysis. 7 8 Results and Discussion 9 The extracted genomic DNA (gDNA) of A. siamensis TISTR8012 by phenol: 10 chloroform: isoamylalcohol were shown to be of high quality with high molecular weight on 11 1% agarose gel in FIG.2. 12 The gDNA was used as template for PCR reaction with primers shown in Table 1. 13 The PCR product of 480 bp and 500 bp were seen for the cpcA and cpcB genes, respectively 14 (FIG.3). The PCR products were cloned into pENTR/D-TOPO and transformed into E. coli 15 DH5α. Recombinant plasmids were prepared from several transformant clones and sequence. 16 The sequencing results indicated that the clones were α subunits with 99% identity to 17 Anabaena variabilis ATCC29431 (CP000117), Anabaena PCC7120 (AF178757) and 18 Anabaena 7120 biliprotein (X05239). The results of β subunits with 100% identity to 19 Anabaena variabilis ATCC29431 (CP000117), Anabaena 7120 biliprotein (X05239) and 20 Anabaena PCC7120 (AF178757) (FIG.4). The sequence of both α and β subunits of A. 21 siamensis TISTR8012 were submitted to NCBI database. The accession number EU815327 22 and EU815328 were obtained for α and β subunits, respectively. 23 FIG.5 indicate the nucleotide sequence of cpcA gene and the deduce amino acid 24 sequence that contained the conserved cysteine at position 85 (α85) whereas in Spirulina 25 platensis (Padyana et al., 2001), Cyanidium caldarium (Stec et al., 1999) and Polysiphonia 4 1 urceolata (Jiang et al., 2001) contained cysteine at position 84 (α84). FIG.6 indicate the 2 nucleotide sequence of cpcB gene and the deduce amino acid sequence that contained the 3 conserved cysteine at position 83 and 154 (β83 and β154) whereas Spirulina platensis 4 (Padyana et al., 2001), Cyanidium caldarium (Stec et al., 1999) and Polysiphonia urceolata 5 (Jiang et al., 2001) contain the conserved cysteine at position 84 and 155 (β84 and β155) 6 Phylogram of the phycocyanin β subunit indicated that the PC β subunit of A. 7 siamensis TISTR8012 is closely related to the PC β subunit of A. variabilis ATCC19413 8 (FIG.7) However the α subunit of A. siamensis TISTR8012 sequence is more similar to 9 Arthospira platensis than A. variabilis ATCC19413 (FIG.8) 10 In conclusion the cpcA and cpcB genes from A. siamensis TISTR8012 has been cloned, 11 sequenced and the sequence have been submitted to GenBank with the accession number 12 EU815327 and EU815328, respectively. 13 14 Acknowledgement 15 WS was supported by SUT Outstanding graduate student scholarship. 16 17 References 18 [1] 19 Nucleotide sequencing and transcriptional analysis of uptake hydrogenase genes in the 20 filamentous N2-fixing cyanobacterium Anabaena siamensis.
