Transcriptional response to protease treatments (kallikrein, papain and chymotrypsin) of Bifidobacterium breve 210B

ABSTRACT: Members of the serpin (serine protease inhibitor) superfamily have been identified in higher, multicellular eukaryotes, as well as in bacteria, although surveillance of available genome sequences indicates that bacterial serpin-encoding (ser) homologs are not widely distributed. In members of the genus Bifidobacterium this gene appears to be present in at least five, and perhaps up to nine, out of 30 species tested. Moreover, phylogenetic analysis using available bacterial and eukaryotic serpin sequences revealed that bifidobacteria specify serpins that form a separate clade. We characterized the ser210B locus of Bifidobacterium breve 210B, which consists of a number of genes, whose deduced protein products display significant similarity to proteins encoded by corresponding loci found in s
