5' and 3' end sequence of acaBl gene as primers, the gene of halophilic thiolase from haloarchae, Halobacterium sp. ZP-6 was cloned and its amino acid composition was calculated. Compared with non-halophilic thiolase, the halophilic thiolase contains more negative charge amino acid, less positive amino acid and less strong hydrophobic amino acid, and use preferably small side-chain amino acid. Those suggest that electrostatic screen, hydrophobic effect and surface tension all contribute to halophilic properties of thiolase.
以嗜盐古菌嗜盐栖热放线菌(Halobacterium sp. ZP-6)的嗜盐硫解酶基因acaBl的5'和3'端序列为引物,克隆了该基因并计算了其氨基酸组成。与非嗜盐硫解酶相比,嗜盐硫解酶含有更多带负电荷的氨基酸、更少的带正电荷氨基酸和更少的强疏水性氨基酸,且更倾向于使用小侧链氨基酸。这些表明静电屏蔽、疏水作用和表面张力都对硫解酶的嗜盐特性有贡献。
