A gene encoding a cyclophilin (CyP)-type peptidyl prolyl cis-trans isomerase (PPIase) was cloned from a halophilic archaeum, Halobacterium cutirubrum DSM 669, and sequenced. Although amino-acid residues common to CyPs were conserved, an insertion that showed no homology to other CyPs was found in its N-terminal region. Sequence analysis revealed that the amino-acid sequence of this CyP was 40-45% identical to those of eukaryotes and Bacillus subtilis with high cyclosporin A sensitivity, but 27% identical to those of cyclosporin A-insensitive PPIases of Escherichia coli. The gene was also expressed in E. coli. The activity of purified recombinant CyP-type PPIase was stimulated by the addition of KCl, and was suppressed by cyclosporin A.
从嗜盐古菌红皮盐杆菌DSM 669中克隆并测序了一个编码亲环蛋白(CyP)型肽基脯氨酰顺反异构酶(PPIase)的基因。虽然CyP共有的氨基酸残基是保守的,但在其N端区域发现了一个与其他CyP无同源性的插入序列。序列分析表明,该CyP的氨基酸序列与对环孢菌素A敏感的真核生物和枯草芽孢杆菌的氨基酸序列有40%-45%的同一性,但与大肠杆菌对环孢菌素A不敏感的PPIase的氨基酸序列有27%的同一性。该基因也在大肠杆菌中表达。纯化的重组CyP型PPIase的活性在添加KCl时受到刺激,而在添加环孢菌素A时受到抑制。
