An Escherichia coli strain that accumulated Ni(II) was constructed by introducing the nixA gene (coding for a nickel transport system) from Helicobacter pylori into JM109 cells that expressed a glutathione S-transferase-pea metallothionein fusion protein. The resulting strain accumulated 15 micromol of Ni(II) per g (dry weight) from a 10 microM Ni(II) solution, four times the level taken up by JM109 cells. Ni(II) accumulation did not require an energy source, was inhibited by only 50% by 0.1 M NaCl, and occurred over the pH range from 3 to 9.
通过将幽门螺杆菌的nixA基因(编码镍转运系统)导入表达谷胱甘肽S-转移酶-豌豆金属硫蛋白融合蛋白的JM109细胞中,构建了一种积累镍(II)的大肠杆菌菌株。所得菌株从10微摩尔/升的镍(II)溶液中每克(干重)积累15微摩尔的镍(II),是JM109细胞吸收水平的四倍。镍(II)的积累不需要能量来源,仅被0.1摩尔/升的氯化钠抑制50%,并且在pH值为3至9的范围内发生。
