Site-2 protease-like protein drives organic solvent tolerance in Rhodococcus ruber
Engineered overexpression of a Site-2 protease-like protein (S2plp) in Rhodococcus ruber SD3 significantly enhanced organic solvent tolerance. Through electro-transformation with the recombinant plasmid pNV18-s2plp-s2plp, we generated a strain exhibiting superior growth under multiple organic solvent stresses. Transcriptomic analysis identified 13 significantly upregulated genes, including those encoding aminoglycoside O-phosphotransferase, replication initiation protein, two M50 family metallopeptidases, transposase, SMC family ATPase, ATP-dependent helicase, three hypothetical proteins, and three small RNAs (sRNAs). KEGG analysis linked S2plp overexpression to enhanced DNA repair mechanisms, directly contributing to organic solvent tolerance. These results establish S2plp as a novel molecular target for boosting solvent resilience in this important bacterium, advancing its potential in biocatalysis and bioremediation.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Microbiological Methods publishes scholarly and original articles, notes and review articles. These articles must include novel and/or state-of-the-art methods, or significant improvements to existing methods. Novel and innovative applications of current methods that are validated and useful will also be published. JMM strives for scholarship, innovation and excellence. This demands scientific rigour, the best available methods and technologies, correctly replicated experiments/tests, the inclusion of proper controls, calibrations, and the correct statistical analysis. The presentation of the data must support the interpretation of the method/approach.
All aspects of microbiology are covered, except virology. These include agricultural microbiology, applied and environmental microbiology, bioassays, bioinformatics, biotechnology, biochemical microbiology, clinical microbiology, diagnostics, food monitoring and quality control microbiology, microbial genetics and genomics, geomicrobiology, microbiome methods regardless of habitat, high through-put sequencing methods and analysis, microbial pathogenesis and host responses, metabolomics, metagenomics, metaproteomics, microbial ecology and diversity, microbial physiology, microbial ultra-structure, microscopic and imaging methods, molecular microbiology, mycology, novel mathematical microbiology and modelling, parasitology, plant-microbe interactions, protein markers/profiles, proteomics, pyrosequencing, public health microbiology, radioisotopes applied to microbiology, robotics applied to microbiological methods,rumen microbiology, microbiological methods for space missions and extreme environments, sampling methods and samplers, soil and sediment microbiology, transcriptomics, veterinary microbiology, sero-diagnostics and typing/identification.
