Saccharomyces cerevisiae에서 Bacillus macerans cyclodextrin glucanotransferase의 발현 특성

Expression Characteristics of Recombinant Cyclodextrin Glucanotransferase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The cuclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) gene of Bacillus macerans was subcloned at the downstream of yeast ADH1 promoter, and then the resulting plasmid pVT-CGTM(9.15 kb) was introduced into the yeast host strain, Saccharomyces cerevisias 2805. The transformed yeast, S. cerevisiae 2805/pVT-CGTM, showed the starch-hydrolyzing activity on the starch-azure plate. The optimal conditions for the CGTase expression were found to be 2% dextrose, initial pH5.5, 3$0^{\circ}C$, and 48hr cultivation. Under this condition, the extracellular CGTase activity reached at 0.53 U/mL, whereas the intracellular activity was about 0.03U/mL. This result indicates that the signal peptide of Bacillus CGTase functioned well in S. cerevisiae.
