Abstract

When alginate lyase gene (aly) from Pseudoalteromonas elyakovii was expressed in E. coli, most of the gene product was produced as aggregated insoluble particles known as inclusion bodies. In order to produce a soluble and active form of alginate lyase, E. coli cells fore cotransformed with the plasmids designed to permit coexpression of aly together with molecular chaperones such as DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE or GroEL/ES chaperones. The results revealed that the coexpression of aly together with DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE chaperone had a marked effect on the production of this protein as a soluble and active form, presumably through facilitating correct folding of alginate lyase protein. The optimal concentration of L-arabinose for the induction of DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE chaperone was found to be 0.05 mg/ml. When DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE chaperone was coexpressed, about 34% in the total alginate lyase was produced in the soluble fraction. By addition of 10% cetylpyridinium chloride, a clear zone around the colony coexpressing aly and DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE chaperone was formed, indicating that the alginate in the medium was hydrolyzed by active alginate lyase enzyme.

E. coli에서 Pseudoalteromonas elyakovii 유래의 alginate lyase유전자(aly)를 발현시킬 때, 대부분의 단백질이 불용성 내포체 형태로 발현됨을 확인하였다. Alginate lyase를 가용성 활성형으로 생산하기 위해 aly와 DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE 또는 aly와 GroEL/ES을 공발현하는 형질전환체를 얻었다. 공발현 결과, 단백질의 올바른 접힘을 도와주는 DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE chaperone이 가용성 및 활성형의 alginate lyase 생산에 매우 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE chaperone의 발현에 유도제인 L-arabinose 최적 농도는 0.05 mg/ml이었으며, 이러한 공발현에 의해 약 34%의 alginate lyase가 가용성 분획에서 생산되었다. 또한 10%의 cetylpyridinium chloride를 첨가함으로써, 공발현 콜로니 주위에 투명환이 형성됨을 확인할 수 있었고, 이는 활성형 alginate lyase 효소에 의해 alginate가 분해되었음을 시사하였다.
