Killer 효모 융합주 FWKS 260 이 분비하는 Killer Toxin 의 정제

Killer toxin from killer yeast fusant FWKS 260 developed by protoplast fusion between the wild killer yeast and alcohol-fermenting yeast was purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation. Amicon PM I0 concentration. Sephadex G-200 and Scphadcx G-75 column chromatography. The purified killer toxin showed a single band by SIX-polyacvlamide gel electrophoresis. The protein part of killer toxin was active site. which was found by treating the proteolytic enzyme such as pronase E and pepsin to killer toxin. The killer toxin was stable at pH 2.0-5.0 and 20$^{\circ}$C. but inactivated with increasing temperature. The molecular weight was determined to be approximately 13.000 according to the results obtained from the SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. It was confirmed that the purified killer toxin is glycoprotein by showing a red single band after st'tining with Schiffs reagent.

원형질체 융합을 통하여 육성한 killer 효모 융합주 FWKS 260 의 killer toxin 을 ammonium sulfate fractionation, Amicon PM 10 concentration, Sephadex G-200 및 Sephadex G-75 column chromatography 를 행하여 정제한 결과 단일 단백질 band 를 보여 순수하게 정제되었음을 알 수 있었고, 단백질 분해효소를 처리한 결과 killer 활성이 소실되어 killer toxin 의 단백질 부분이 killer 활성을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 이 toxin 은 20.deg.C 에서는 거의 안정하였으나, 온도가 증가함에 따라 점차 활성이 소실되었고, pH 2.0-5.0 에서 비교적 안정하였다. 한편, SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis 결과 분자량은 약 13.000 임을 알 수 있었고, SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis 를 행한 후 Schiffs reagent 로 염색한 결과 붉은 단일 band 를 보여 정제된 killer toxin 은 glycoprotein 임을 확인 할 수 있었다.
