Abstract

This study was attempted to express human lactoferrin gene that has importance as a functional additive in food industry. Lactoferrin has distinctive antibacterial properties. Also, a number of phy-siological roles have been postulated for the lactoferrin in the modulation of immune and inflamatory responses and as a growth factor. Since it did not show feasible growth inhibition by antimicrobial test against HLF, Pichia pastoris was selected the best lactoferrin expression host. HLF expression plasmid pHIL-SI was integrated into the genomic DNA of P. pastoris GSl15. The integration was confirmed not only with 2.4Kb fragment of HLF gene by PCR(polymerase chain reaction) product, but also with same size of specific signal by southern blotting. Among the various pichica transformants, the JY-1 cell showed a positive response for the expression of HLF by the immunoblotting anaysis. The recombinant HLF protein was started to be secreated at 48hr of culture and reached at the highest secreation level at 96hr.

면역활성, 항균성 등의 기능성을 보여 식품첨가물로 전량 수입에 의존하여 사용되는 human lactoferrin을 진핵세포에서의 생산을 시도하였다. 우선, 항균성을 보이는 lactoferrin에 대하여 생육저해가 없는 host cell에 lactoferrin 유전자를 발현시키고자 lactoferrin에 대한 항균력을 실험한 결과 Pichia pastoris는 생육저해를 일으키지 않아 이를 lactoferrin 생산균주로 선정하였다. Pichia를 숙주로 하는 pHIL-SI expression vector에 lactoferrin 유전자를 삽입 하였을 때 genomic DNA에 유전자가 integration 되었다. 즉, transformant JY-1, JY-2는 PCR(polymerase chain reaction)과 southern blotting에 의하여 2.4Kb의 크기의 HLF(human lactoferrin) 유전자가 삽입되었음을 확인하였다. 유전자 발현을 검토한 결과 transformant JY-1는 immunoblotting에 의하여 lactoferrin 단백질 생산을 확인하였다. 배양시간에 따른 HLF의 생산성을 알아본 결과 48시간 이후에 75KDa의 HLF단백질이 분비됨을 확인하였다
