Abstract

To optimize the expression and secretion of ferritin protein associated with ion storage in the mushroom, Pleurotus eryngii, a recombinant secretion vector, harboring the ferritin gene, was constructed using a pPEVPR1b vector under the control of the CaMV 35S promoter and signal sequence of pathogen related protein (PR1b). The ferritin gene was isolated from the T-Fer vector following digestion with EcoRI and HindIII. The gene was then introduced into the pPEVPR1b secretion vector, and it was then named pPEVPR1b-Fer. The recombinant vector was transferred into P. eryngii via Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. The transformants were selected on MCM medium supplemented with kanamycin and its expression was confirmed by SDS-PAGE and western blotting. Expression of ferritin protein was optimized by modifying the culture conditions such as incubation time and temperature in batch and 20 L airlift type fermenter. The optimal conditions for ferritin production were achieved at 25℃ and after incubating for 8 days on MCM medium. The amount of ferritin protein was 2.4 mg/g mycelia, as measured by a quantitative protein assay. However, the signal sequence of PR1b (32 amino acids) seems to be correctly processed by peptidase and ferritin protein may be targeted in the apoplast region of mycelia, and it might not be secreted in the culture medium. The iron binding activity was confirmed by Perls' staining in a 7.5% non-denaturing gel, indicating that the multimeric ferritin (composed of 24 subunits) was formed in P. eryngii mycelia. Mycelium powder containing ferritin was tested as a feed additive in broilers. The addition of ferritin powder stimulated the growth of young broilers and improved their feed efficiency and production index.

큰느타리버섯에서 철 저장과 관련된 페리틴 단백질의 발현 및 분비를 최적화하기 위해, T-Fer 벡터에 EcoRI 및 HindIII처리를 해 페리틴 유전자를 얻은 후, BamHI으로 처리된 선형의 pPEVPR1b 분비 벡터에 클로닝하여pPEVPR1b-Fer 재조합 벡터를 구축한 다음 Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA4404 로 도입하였다. Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation 방법에 의해 Pleurotus eryngii로 형질전환하고 kanamycin함유된 MCM 배지에서 올바른 형질전환체를 선별하였고, 단백질 발현은 SDS-PAGE 및 항원항체 반응에 의한 western blot으로 확인하였다. 페리틴 단백질의 분비 발현은 batch culture 및 20 L airlift type fermenter에서 배양 시간 및 온도와 같은 배양 조건에 의해 최적화되었다. 페리틴 생산을 위한 배양 조건은 MCM 배지에서 25℃ 및 8 일 배양에 의해 최적화되었다. 페리틴 단백질의 양은 정량적 단백질 분석에 의해 2.4 mg/g mycelium으로 측정되었다. 그러나, PR1b (32 amino acid)의 분비서열은 큰느타리버섯 내부의 peptidase에 의해 정확하게 processing되지 않았지만, 페리틴 단백질은 균사체에서 최대로 전체단백질의 24.7% 발현되었고, 배양액에서는 검출되지 않았다. 철 결합 활성은 7.5% non-denaturing gel에서 Perls' staining에 의해 확인되었으며, 다량체 페리틴(24 subunits)이 P. eryngii 균사체에서 형성되었음을 보여준다. 생물학적 활성 측정을 위하여 페리틴을 함유한 분말을 제조하여 육계의 사료 첨가제로서의 사용 가능성에 대해 시험하였으며, 결과적으로 페리틴은 육계의 성장을 촉진하고 사료 효율 및 생산 지수를 향상시키는것으로 확인되었다.
