Xylella fastidiosa is the causal agent of citrus variegated chlorosis, also known as "amarelinho". Xylella fastidiosa inhabits exclusively the xylem vessels, and is transmitted by sharpshooter vectors. The experimental determination of the primary sequence of some markedly expressed proteins for X. fastidiosa and the comparison with the nucleic acids sequence of its genome aided the identification of three of them as being proteins involved in host pathogenicity. However, the biological role of these proteins should be assigned experimentally. In order to investigate the biological role, function and structure, ORFs corresponding to hydroxynitrile liase, chorismate synthase and type V secretory pathway proteins were cloned, sequenced and expressed in Escherichia coli. The expressed recombinant proteins were purified by immobilized metal affinity chromatography (Ni-NTA resin) and their identities were verified by protein sequencing. The purified proteins were found as a single band on SDS-PAGE. The successful cloning and heterologous expression of recombinant HNL in E. coli resulted in a satisfactory amount of expressed protein. Two of the expressed recombinant proteins were soluble, easily purified, and isolated in an active form. X. fastidiosa recombinant proteins, for the first time isolated, were characterized according to enzyme conformational stability and structural behavior as a function of pH and temperature using circular dichroism and fluorescence spectroscopy.
