Abstract

To develop a yeast strain of Pichia pastoris producing an antibacterial peptide, we have attempted the expression and secretion of an insect defensin. The nucleotide sequences corresponding to mature defensin were chemically synthesized by 6 oligomers, assembled in vitro and the synthesized gene was identified by nucleotide sequencing. The prepro sequence of yeast mating factor $\alpha$1 and the defensin gene were recombined into a Pichia expression vector, pPIC9K. The resulting plasmid, pPIDE, was transformed into P. pastoris GSl15 and transformants selected on histidine-deficient minimal plates were tested for antibacterial activity against Micrococcus luteus. Four strains with different antibacterial activity were selected for further analysis. Southern hybridization and RT-PCR verified the defensin gene was maintained and transcribed in a host. Four strains were cultivated in YPD broth for 96 hours to compare cell growth and antibacterial activity, They showed no difference in cell growth, however, each strain showed different antibacterial activity pattern with culture time. The maximal activity was about 550 AU/ $m\ell$.

곤충에서 유래한 항균 펩티드, defensin을 항균활성이 있는 활성적인 형태로 분비하는 Pichia 균주를 개발하기 위한 일환으로서 MF$\alpha$1 prerpo sequence와 defensin 합성유전자를 pichia 발현 벡터에 재조합하여 형질전환하고 아미노산 histidine을 첨가하지 않은 최소 배지에서 형질전환체를 일차적으로 선별하였다. 선별한 형질전환체를 대상으로 항생제 G-418에 대한 내성과 M. luteus를 시험균으로 사용하여 생육환 저해를 통한 defensin의 세포 외 분비를 조사하여 4 균주를 선택하고 분석하였다. Southern hybridizaion을 통해 숙주의 염색체 DNA에 삽입한 defensin 유전자가 유지됨을 확인하였으며 전체 RNA를 분리하고 RT-PCR을 수행하여 defensin mRNA를 증폭하고 Southern hybridization을 실시한 결과 증폭된 밴드는 probe로 사용한 defensin 유전자에 의해 양성 신호가 나타났다. 배양시간에 따른 4 균주의 세포성장과 항균활성을 비교하기 위해 BMMY 배지에서 96시간 배양하였다. 세포성장은 모두 유사한 양상을 보였다. 세포성장은 48시간 동안 급격하게 증가한 후 그 이후로는 정지기에 도달되었다. 항균활성도 48시간까지 급격히 증가하였으며 항균활성이 가장 높은 형질전환체 균주 3는 72시간 배양 시 550 AU/$m\ell$을 나타내었다.
