Abstract:
:Carnobacteriocin B2 is a well-characterized class II bacteriocin produced by a 61-kb plasmid from Carnobacterium piscicola LV17. Export of this bacteriocin is dependent on specific ABC (ATP-binding cassette) secretion proteins. Divergicin A is a strongly hydrophobic narrow-spectrum bacteriocin produced by a 3.4-kb plasmid from Carnobacterium divergens LV13. Predivergicin A contains a signal peptide and utilizes the general secretary pathway for export (R. W. Worobo, M. J. van Belkum, M. Sailer, K. L. Roy, J. C. Vederas, and M. E. Stiles, J. Bacteriol. 177:3143-3149, 1995). Fusion of the carnobacteriocin B2 structural gene (devoid of its natural leader peptide) behind the signal peptide of divergicin A in the expression vector pMG36e permitted production and export of active carnobacteriocin B2 in the absence of the specific secretion genes. N-terminal sequencing of purified carnobacteriocin B2 established that correct processing of the prebacteriocin occurred beyond the Ala-Ser-Ala cleavage site of the signal peptide. Carnobacteriocin B2 was produced by the wild-type strain of C. divergens, LV13, and in C. piscicola LV17C, the nonbacteriocinogenic, plasmidless variant of the original carnobacteriocin B2 producer strain. The corresponding immunity gene was included immediately downstream of the structural gene. Both of the host strains are sensitive to the bacteriocin, and both acquired immunity when they were transformed with the construct. C. divergens LV13 containing the divergicin A signal peptide-carnobacteriocin B2 fusion construct produces both divergicin A and carnobacteriocin B2 and demonstrates the first example of multiple-bacteriocin expression via the general secretory pathway. The small amount of genetic material required for independent bacteriocin expression has implications for the development of a food-grade multiple-bacteriocin expression vector for use in lactic acid bacteria.
