High-level resistance to oxidative stress in conferred by catalase KatE Free

Abstract

, a lactic acid bacterium widely used for food fermentations, is often exposed to damaging stress conditions. In particular, oxidative stress leads to DNA, protein and membrane damages that can be lethal. As has no catalase, the impact of production of the haem catalase KatE on its oxidative stress resistance was tested. This cytoplasmic catalase was engineered for extracellular expression in with an optimization strategy based on fusion to the nisin-inducible promoter and a lactococcal signal peptide (SP). The production of KatE by conferred an 800-fold increase in survival after 1 h exposure to 4 mM hydrogen peroxide, and a 160-fold greater survival in long-term (3 days) survival of aerated cultures in a mutant, which is unable to respire. The presence of KatE protected DNA from oxidative damage and limited its degradation after long-term aeration in a / mutant, defective in DNA repair. is thus able to produce active catalase that can provide efficient antioxidant activity.
