Molecular cloning and enzymatic characterization of arginine deiminase (LrADI) from Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 20016: A candidate for cancer metabolic therapy
Arginine deiminase (ADI) is an arc-degrading enzyme that hydrolyzes L-arginine into L-citrulline and ammonia through guanidine deamination. It belongs to the guanidino group modifying enzymes (GME) superfamily, which plays a crucial role in the microbial ADI pathway. In this study, the ADI-encoding gene arcA from Limosilactobacillus reuteri DSM 20016 was cloned and expressed. The open reading frame (ORF) comprises 1233 base pairs, encodes a protein of 411 amino acids. A recombinant pET28b-arcA expression vector was constructed and transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) for heterologous expression. Protein expression was induced with IPTG, and the recombinant ADI (LrADI) was purified using Ni-NTA histidine-tagged affinity chromatography. Biochemical characterization revealed an optimal reaction temperature of 40 °C and a pH optimum of 6. Kinetic analysis showed a Michaelis constant of 1.63 mM and a maximum reaction velocity (Vmax) of 1.08 mM/min. SDS-PAGE confirmed a molecular mass of ~46 kDa. These findings provide insights into the enzymatic properties and potential applications of LrADI in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in cancer treatment, due to its ability to deplete arginine in arginine-auxotrophic tumors.

期刊介绍:
Gene Reports publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in all biological contexts, including all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, as well as viruses. Gene Reports strives to be a very diverse journal and topics in all fields will be considered for publication. Although not limited to the following, some general topics include: DNA Organization, Replication & Evolution -Focus on genomic DNA (chromosomal organization, comparative genomics, DNA replication, DNA repair, mobile DNA, mitochondrial DNA, chloroplast DNA). Expression & Function - Focus on functional RNAs (microRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, mRNA splicing, alternative polyadenylation) Regulation - Focus on processes that mediate gene-read out (epigenetics, chromatin, histone code, transcription, translation, protein degradation). Cell Signaling - Focus on mechanisms that control information flow into the nucleus to control gene expression (kinase and phosphatase pathways controlled by extra-cellular ligands, Wnt, Notch, TGFbeta/BMPs, FGFs, IGFs etc.) Profiling of gene expression and genetic variation - Focus on high throughput approaches (e.g., DeepSeq, ChIP-Seq, Affymetrix microarrays, proteomics) that define gene regulatory circuitry, molecular pathways and protein/protein networks. Genetics - Focus on development in model organisms (e.g., mouse, frog, fruit fly, worm), human genetic variation, population genetics, as well as agricultural and veterinary genetics. Molecular Pathology & Regenerative Medicine - Focus on the deregulation of molecular processes in human diseases and mechanisms supporting regeneration of tissues through pluripotent or multipotent stem cells.
