Abstract

TTo increase productivity of a strong extracellular alkaline protease (BCAP), stable strains of Bacillus clausii I-52 carrying another copy of BCAP gene in the chromosome were developed. Integrative vector, pHPS9-fuBCAP carrying BCAP promoter, ribosome binding site, signal sequence and active protease gene was constructed and transferred into B. clausii I-52, and integration of the constructed plasmid into chromosome was identified by PCR. An investigation was carried out on BCAP production by B. clausii I-52 and transformant C5 showing the highest relative activity of alkaline protease using submerged fermentation. Maximum enzyme activity was produced when cells were grown under the submerged fermentation conditions at $37^{\circ}C$ for 48 h with an aeration rate of 1 vvm and agitation rate of 650 rpm in a optimized medium (soybean meal 2%, wheat flour 1%, sodium citrate 0.5%, $K_2HPO_4$ 0.4%, $Na_2HPO_4$ 0.1%, NaCl 0.4%, $MgSO_47H_2O$ 0.01%, $FeSO_47H_2O$ 0.05%, liquid maltose 2.5%, $Na_2CO_3$ 0.6%). A protease yield of approximately 134,670U/ml was achieved using an optimized media, which show an increase of approximately 1.6-fold compared to that of non-transformant (83,960 U/ml). When the stability of transformant C5 was examined, the integrated plasmid pHPS9-fuBCAP was detected in the transformant after cultivation for 8 days, suggesting that it maintained stably in the chromosomal DNA of transformant C5.

인천 연안 갯벌에서 분리한 호알카리성 Bacillus clausii I-52로부터 세포외 알카리성 단백질 분해효소(BCAP)의 발현 및 생산성을 증가시키기 위하여 BCAP promoter, ribosome 결합 서열, 신호서열, 전구체 서열 및 활성형 BCAP 유전자를 cloning한 재조합 plasmid pHPS9-fuBCAP을 penicillin-protoplast 법으로 B. clausii I-52의 염색체 DNA에 integration 하였고, 도입된 plasmid pHPS9-fuBCAP 유전자는 PCR에 의해 확인하였다. 가장 높은 단백질 분해효소 상대 활성을 보이는 선별된 transformant C5를 생산 최적화 배지(대두박 2%, 밀가루 1%, 구연산나트륨 0.5%, $K_2HPO_4$ 0.4%, $Na_2HPO_4$ 0.1%, NaCl 0.4%, $MgSO_47H_2O$ 0.01%, $FeSO_47H_2O$ 0.05%, 물엿 2.5%, 탄산나트륨 0.6%)에서 액침 배양법(배양온도, $37^{\circ}C$; 배양 시간, 48 h; 교반 속도, 650 rpm; 통기 속도, 1 vvm)으로 배양하여 단백질 분해효소를 발현 및 분비시켰을 때, BCAP 발현 양(134,670 U/ml)은 wild-type(83,960 U/ml)에 비하여 약 1.6 배 증가하였으며, 비활성도(91,611.5 U/mg 단백질)는 wild-type(71,760 U/mg 단백질)에 비하여 약 1.3 배 증가하였다. 또한, B. clausii I-52 염색체 DNA에 integration된 pHPS9-fuBCAP plasmid는 단백질 발현과 함께 8일간의 계대배양 동안에 안정하게 유지되고 있음을 확인하였다.
