Spatial and temporal expression of pathogenesis-related (PR) gene and proteins has been recognized as inducible defense response in pepper plants. Gene expression and/or protein accumulation of PR-1, $\beta-1,3-glucanase$ and chitinase was predominantly found in pepper plants during the inoculations by Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria, Phytophthora capsici and Colletotrichum coccodes. PR-1 and chitinase genes were also induced in pepper plants in response to environmental stresses, such as high salinity and drought. PR-1 and chitinase gene expressions by biotic and abiotic stresses were regulated by their own promoter regions containing several stress-related cis-acting elements. Overexpression of pepper PR-1 or chitinase genes in heterogeneous transgenic plants showed enhanced disease resistance as well as environmental stress tolerances. In this review, we focused on the putative function of pepper PR-1, $\beta-1,3-glucanase$ and chitinase proteins and/or genes at the biochemical, molecular and cytological aspects.

A highly thermostable ${\beta}-(1-4)-glucanase$ (NA23_08975) gene (fig) from Fervidobacterium islandicum AW-1, a native-feather degrading thermophilic eubacterium, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant FiG (rFiG) protein showed strong activity toward ${\beta}-{\small{D}}-glucan$ from barley (367.0 IU/mg), galactomannan (174.0 IU/mg), and 4-nitrophenyl-cellobioside (66.1 IU/mg), but relatively weak activity was observed with hydroxyethyl cellulose (5.3 IU/mg), carboxymethyl cellulose (2.4 IU/mg), and xylan from oat spelt (1.4 IU/mg). rFiG exhibited optimal activity at $90^{\circ}C$ and pH 5.0. In addition, this enzyme was extremely thermostable, showing a half-life of 113 h at $85^{\circ}C$. These results indicate that rFiG could be used for hydrolysis of cellulosic and hemicellulosic biomass substrates for biofuel production.

Paddy rice is rarely used as a feed because of its high fiber content. In this study, two experiments were conducted to study the effects of supplementing an enzyme complex consisting of xylanase, beta-glucanase and cellulase, to paddy-based diets on the performance and nutrient digestibility in meat-type ducks. In the both experiments, meat-type ducks (Cherry Valley) were randomly assigned to four treatments. Treatment 1 was a basal diet of corn-soybean; treatment 2 was a basal diet of corn-paddy-soybean; treatment 3, had enzyme complex added to the corn-paddy-soybean basal diet at levels of 0.5 g/kg diet; and treatment 4, had enzyme complex added to the corn-paddy-soybean diet at levels of 1.0 g/kg diet. The results showed that the enzyme complex increased the ADG, and decreased the ADFI and F/G significantly (p<0.05) in the ducks, and the ADFI for the ducks fed the corn-paddy-soybean diet showed no difference compared to the ducks fed corn-soybean diets at all stages of the experiment (p<0.05). When corn was partially replaced by paddy, the digestibility of CP and NDF was decreased and increased, respectively (p<0.05), and the level of enzyme complex had a significant effect on both CP and NDF digestibility (p<0.05). As for the AME, addition of enzyme complex increased it significantly (p<0.05), but both diet types and levels of enzyme complex had no effect (p>0.05). The outcome of this research indicates that the application of enzyme complex made up of xylanase, beta-glucanase, and cellulase, in the corn-paddy-soybean diet, can improve performance and nutrition digestibility in meat-type ducks.

Agrobacterium에 의한 식물형질전환은 가장 일반적으로 많은 사용되는 식물형질전환 기술이냐 이 과정에서 관여하는 식물 유전자들에 대한 관여하는 식물 유전자들에게 대한 연구는 거의 전무한 상태다. 본 연구는 Agrobacterium의 감염에 저항성을 보이는 새로운 돌연변이들의 분리와 분석 연구에 연속하여 Agrobacterium에 의한 식물형질전환에 관여하는 Arabidopsis RAT3 유전자의 cDNA와 gemonic clone을 plasmid rescue 기술을 이용하여 분리하였다. 염기서열 분석결과, 매우 유사한 2개의 유전자가 (RAT3-1과 RAT3-2)약 600bp 간격을 두고 연속하여 존재함을 밝혔다. 그중 RAT3-1 이 mutagen으로 사용된 T-DNA에 의해 손상을 받아 rat3 돌연변이 형질이 유도되었다. RAT3 유전자의 단백질의 분자량은 15 kDa 정도이며 아미노 밀단에 분비를 위한 signal peptide를 가지며 단백질이 전체적인 매우 친수성인 것으로 미루어 세포막 밖으로 분비될 것으로 생각된다. 이들 유전자의 정확한 생물학적 기능에 대한 연구들이 수행 중이며, 이러한 기초연구는 식물형질전환 기술의 개발에 기여할 것이다.

STA1 유전자의 promoter 와 분비신호서열을 이용하여 B. subtilis 의 CMSase 를 분비하는 재조합 효모균주를 육성하였다. STA1A 유전자의 promoter, 분비신호서열, TS region 및 mature glucoamylase N-말단부위의 아미노산 98개와 B. subtilis 의 CMCase 구조유전자가 차례로 연결된 재조합플라스미드 pYESC24 를 제작한후 효모에 형질전환하였으나 CMCase 가 세포외로 분비되지 않았다. 반면에 STA1 의 TS region 및 mature glucoamylase N-말단 아미노산 98 개를 제거하여 CMMase 구조유전자갸 STA1 의 분비신호서열에 바로 연결된 재조합 플라스미드 pYESC11 에 의한 효모형질전환 균주는 CMCase 분비능이 아주 우수하였다. 이 형질전환 균주를 YPD 배지에서 4 일간 배양한 후 세포부위 별 CMCase 역가를 측정한 결과 배양액 1 m/당 총역가 44.7 unit 존재하였으며 이중 93% 이상이 배양상등액에서 관찰되었다.

A strain of Streptomyces cavourensis subsp. cavourensis (coded as SY224) antagonistic to Colletotrichum gloeosporioides infecting pepper plants was isolated. SY224 produced lytic enzymes such as chitinase, ${\beta}$-1,3-glucanase, lipase, and protease in respective assays. To examine for antifungal activity, the treatments amended with the nonsterilized supernatant resulted in the highest growth inhibition rate of about 92.9% and 87.4% at concentrations of 30% and 10%, respectively. However, the sterilized treatments (autoclaved or chloroform treated) gave a lowered but significant inhibitory effect of about 63.4% and 62.6% for the 10% supernatant concentration, and 75.2% and 74.8% for the of 30% supernatant concentration in the PDA agar medium, respectively, indicative of the role of a non-protein, heat stable compound on the overall effect. This antifungal compound, which inhibited spore germination and altered hyphal morphology, was extracted by EtOAc and purified by ODS, silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 column, and HPLC, where an active fraction was confirmed to be 2-furancarboxaldehyde by GS-CI MS techniques. These results suggested that SY224 had a high potential in the biocontrol of anthracnose in pepper, mainly due to a combined effect of lytic enzymes and a non-protein, heat-stable antifungal compound, 2-furancarboxaldehyde.

An endo-${\beta}$-1,4-glucanase gene, cel5L, was cloned using the shot-gun method from Bacillus sp.. The gene, which contained a predicted signal peptide, encoded a protein of 496 amino acid residues, and the molecular mass of the mature Cel5L was estimated to be 51.8 kDa. Cel5L contained a catalytic domain of glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 5 and a carbohydrate-binding module family 3 (CBM_3). Chromatography using HiTrap Q and CHT-II resulted in the isolation of two truncated forms corresponding to 50 (Cel5L-p50) and 35 kDa (Cel5L-p35, CBM_3-deleted form). Both enzymes were optimally active at pH 4.5 and $55^{\circ}C$, but had different half-lives of 4.0 and 22.8 min, respectively, at $70^{\circ}C$. The relative activities of Cel5L-p50 and Cel5L-p35 for barley ${\beta}$-glucan were 377.0 and 246.7%, respectively, compared to those for carboxymethyl-cellulose. The affinity and hydrolysis rate of pNPC by Cel5L-p35 were 1.7 and 3.3 times higher, respectively, than those by Cel5L-p50. Additions of each to a commercial enzyme set increased saccharification of pretreated rice straw powder by 17.5 and 21.0%, respectively. These results suggest CBM_3 is significantly contributing to thermostability, and to affinity and substrate specificity for small substrates, and that these two enzymes could be used as additives to enhance enzymatic saccharification.
