          Abstract

          El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las rutas metabólicas para la producción de solventes y degradación de celulosa en cepas colombianas promisorias del género Clostridium. Para ello se diseñaron sondas de hibridación que sirvieran para posteriores estudios de mejoramiento genético de las cepas. Se construyó la base de datos denominada MULTICLOST en Microsoft Access® con las secuencias de 485 genes involucrados en las rutas metabólicas arriba mencionadas, provenientes de 45 especies bacterianas y 10 especies fúngicas. Los genes fueron agrupados de acuerdo al tipo de enzima y a los dominios catalíticos o de unión a sustrato en el caso de las celulasas. Cada grupo se sometió a alineamiento múltiple en ClustalW 1.83 y con base en los resultados se crearon subgrupos de similitud mayor al 50%. Se localizaron secuencias conservadas de longitud mayor a 19 nucleótidos en GeneDoc 2.6.002 y sus valores termodinámicos fueron estimados con GeneRunner v3.05, mientras que la sensibilidad y especificidad fue verificada por búsquedas en GenBank usando BLASTN 2.2.8. En total se obtuvieron 94 secuencias conservadas con las siguientes características: longitud promedio de 24 nucleótidos, Tm promedio de 65,8 ºC y contenido de (G+C) entre 14,3 y 60,0%. Se determinó que ninguna de las sondas diseñadas forma estructuras secundarias estables con Tm superior a 36,1 ºC. De acuerdo a sus características y valores termodinámicos, todas las sondas podrían ser utilizadas en la construcción de un microarreglo o en reacciones de PCR para la identificación de regiones relevantes en el mejoramiento del proceso por ingeniería metabólica.

          The goal of the present study was to analyze the metabolic pathways involved in solvent production and cellulose consumption by promising Colombian native strains of the genus Clostridium. Therefore a set of oligonucleotide probes was designed, with the aim of analyzing potential targets for genetic improvement of the Colombian strains. The database named MULTICLOST was created in Microsoft Access® using the sequences from 485 genes involved in solventogenesis, 1,3propanodiol production and cellulolysis from 45 bacterial and 10 fungal species. The genes were grouped according to their respective enzyme function and to the catalytic domain or the substrate binding domain in the case of cellulases. ClustalW 1.83 was used for multiple alignment of every group. Subgroups of sequences with more than 50% identity among themselves were created. Conserved sequences longer than 19 nucleotides were identified using GeneDoc 2.6.002 and their thermodynamic values were calculated with GeneRunner v3.05, while their sensitivity and specificity were verified by searching in GenBank with BLASTN 2.2.8. Ninetyfour conserved sequences were obtained with an average 24nucleotide length, 65.8ºC average Tm and a (G+C) content between 14.3% and 60.0%. None of these probes forms stable secondary structures at temperatures higher than 36.1ºC. According to the former results, all of the probes could be used in an oligonucleotide microarray or in PCR reactions for the identification of metabolic targets for improvement of the industrial process.

            A unified view of polymer, dumbbell, and oligonucleotide DNA nearest-neighbor thermodynamics.

            A unified view of polymer, dumbbell, and oligonucleotide nearest-neighbor (NN) thermodynamics is presented. DNA NN DeltaG degrees 37 parameters from seven laboratories are presented in the same format so that careful comparisons can be made. The seven studies used data from natural polymers, synthetic polymers, oligonucleotide dumbbells, and oligonucleotide duplexes to derive NN parameters; used different methods of data analysis; used different salt concentrations; and presented the NN thermodynamics in different formats. As a result of these differences, there has been much confusion regarding the NN thermodynamics of DNA polymers and oligomers. Herein I show that six of the studies are actually in remarkable agreement with one another and explanations are provided in cases where discrepancies remain. Further, a single set of parameters, derived from 108 oligonucleotide duplexes, adequately describes polymer and oligomer thermodynamics. Empirical salt dependencies are also derived for oligonucleotides and polymers.
