2017년 추계에 남해 전선역을 파악하고, 알칼리 인산분해 효소(Alkaline Phosphatase; APase) 활성을 이용하여 제한 영양염과 제한 영양염의 시간적인 변화를 평가하였다. 전선역이 형성된 인근해역의 경우, 용존무기인(dissolved inorganic phosphorus; DIP)의 농도와 용존무기질소(dissolved inorganic nitrogen; DIN): DIP 비가 각각 $0.2{\mu}M$ 이하와 최대 23.2로, DIP가 제한된 환경임에도 불구하고 Chlorophyll a(Chl.-a)가 $0.2{\mu}g/L$로 높은 생물생산력을 보였다. APase와 DIP는 중요한 역의 상관관계(r = -0.81; P<0.001)를 보여, DIP가 제한되어진 해역임을 알 수 있었으며, APase와 Chl-a 관계는 APase의 60 %가 식물플랑크톤, 40 %가 박테리아 기원인 것으로 평가되었다. 용존태 APase와 입자태 APase의 분포로부터 전선역은 장기간 DIP가 제한된 해역이며, 그 외의 해역은 최근에 DIP 제한이 해소된 것으로 판단되었다. 따라서 전선역에서 APase와 같이 가수분해효소의 측정은 제한 영양염의 시공간적인 변화 특성을 평가할 수 있으며, 전선역에서 생지화학 순환의 이해를 높일 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Alkaline phosphatase (APase) was found to be inducible in Anabaena sp. strain CA Growth was less than control in presence of most amino acids except glycine and serine, but most amino acids enhanced APase activity. Highest APase activity was recorded in tyrosine supplemented culture followed by hydroxyproline, cystein, valine and glutamic acid. Threonine supplemented material showed lowest APase level (1.8 nmol/mg protein/min). Lactose, glucose, sodium pyruvate and succinate stimulated growth but not APase activity. APase activity was high in the presence of sucrose, mellibiose, mannitol, arabinose, maltose and sorbose, even though the growth in these supplements was less than in control. Organic phosphate sources supported good growth of the organism. Best growth occurred in presence of inorganic phosphate, adenosine diphosphate, fructose 1,6-diphosphate or ribulose 1,5-diphosphate, followed by other phosphorus sources tested. APase activity in presence of any of the organic phosphate sources was 3 to 5 fold low as compared to phosphate limited culture. Also, there was no APase activity in cultures grown on inorganic phosphate. These data indicate that most amino acids and a few carbohydrates (sucrose, mellibiose, arabinose and sorbose) are suitable for APase production. Lactose, glucose, pyruvate or succinate may be used as a carbon source during photoheterotrophic growth of the cyanobacterium. Glycine and serine are preferred nitrogen sources for its growth. Phosphate repressible APase activity has been found in Anabaena sp. strain CA.

We investigated variations in alkaline phosphatase (APase) activity and alkaline phosphatase hydrolyzable phosphorus (APHP) in northern Gamak Bay from September to December 2009. Dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) decreased gradually, and the DIN/DIP ratio was higher than the Redfield ratio (16) based on molecular concentrations during most of the observation period. The total APase (T-APase) activity increased with decreasing DIP concentration; i.e., the Relationship between T-APase and DIP showed a high negative correlation (r=-0.80, P<0.001), with APase activity being a good indicator of DIP limiting the Redfield ratio. The T-APase was positively correlated with the concentration of chlorophyll a (r=0.73, P<0.001). This suggests that a major portion of APase activity in northen Gamak Bay seawater is attributed to phytoplankton. The proportion of APHP among dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) was low in September and high in November. Thus, APase-producing phytoplankton may be able to grow by utilizing APHP as a phosphorus source in autumn when DIP is limiting. Thus, APase activity and the use of DOP by phytoplankton may play an important role in the growth of phytoplankton under DIP limiting conditions such as those of northern Gamak Bay.

This study was conducted to obtain the transgenic Brnssica napus plants with tobacco Apase gene using the binary vector system of Agrobacteriurn fumefociens. The results obtained were summarized as follows: A repressible acid phosphatase gene of Saccharon~yces cerevisiae, pho105 was used for screening of tobacco Apase cDNA. In order to identify Apase gene in tobacco genome, Southern blot analysis was pcrformed and the Apase gcnc may be present as a single copy, or at most two or three copies, in tobacco genome. To isolate the tobacco Apase gene, tobacco cDNA library was constructed using purifed mRNA from -Pi treated tobacco root and the plaque forming unit of the library was 2.8 x $10^5$ pfu/m${\ell}$, therefore the library might cover all expressed mRNAs. Using pho5 as a probe. tobacco Apase cDNA was cloned, and restriction mapping and Southern blot analysis of cDNA insert were revealed that the 3.6 kb cDNA contained tobacco acid phosphatase cDNA. Plasmid pGA695 -tcAPl was constructed by subcloning tobacco Apase cDNA into the Hind site of pGA695 with 35s promoter which can be expressed constitutively in plants. The Brassica napus cotyledonary petioles were cocultivated with the ,4 grobacteriunz and transferred to the selection medium. The transformed and regenerated plants were transplanted to soil medium. Southern blot analysis was done on the transformed plants, and it was confirmed that a foregin gene was stably integrated into the genonies of B. nnpus plants.

Skeletonema costatum, Chaetoceros didymus, Alexandrium tamarense 그리고 Heterosigma akashiwo의 인 제한에 따른 용존태 유기인(dissolved organic phosphorus; DOP)의 이용성과 alkaline phosphatase(APase)의 활성을 살펴보기 위해 실내실험을 실시하였다. S. costatum, C. didymus, A. tamarense 그리고 H. akashiwo는 인 공급원으로써 용존태 무기인 (dissolved inorganic phosphorus; DIP) 이외에 phosphomonoester와 nucleotide 화합물을 이용하여 성장을 유지할 수 있었다. S. costatum, C. didymus, A. tamarense 그리고 H. a/wshiwo의 APase 활성은 배양액내의 DIP가 각각 $0.30\;{\mu}M$, $0.33\;{\mu}M$, $2.04\;{\mu}M$과 $0.63\;{\mu}M$에서 최초로 활성을 보였으며, 최대활성은 각각 $0.01\;pmol\;cell^{-1}\;hr^{-1}$, $0.11\;pmol\;cell^{-1}\;hr^{-1}$, $1.63\;pmol\;cell^{-1}\;hr^{-1}$와 $0.19\;pmol\;cell^{-1}\;hr^{-1}$였다. APase 활성은 종에 따라 다르게 나타났지만, 최대 활성은 DIP의 흡수속도보다도 높아 인이 제한된 환경에서 효과적으로 DOP를 가수분해하여 성장을 유지 할 수 있을 것으로 보인다. 따라서 DOP의 이용능력은 적조 플링크튼의 성장뿐만 아니라 종간경쟁에도 기여할 것으로 생각된다.

Acid phosphatases (APases) play a role in the release of phosphate in organic complexes in soil. We investigated tissue- and isoform-specific responses of APases to phosphorus (P) deficiency in three rice genotypes; Dasan-byeo, Sobi-byeo, and Palawan. The levels of shoot APase activity per protein were similar in the three genotypes. They significantly decreased with P deprivation that was longer than seven days. Root APase activity per protein was two- to three-fold higher in Dasan than in Sobi and Palawan. In all genotypes the APase activity increased in P-deficient plants, but the increase was higher in Sobi and Palawan. After 21 days of P deprivation, secreted APase activity increased more than eight-fold in Dasan and two-fold in Sobi and Palawan. Isoform profiles of shoot and root APases were most diverse in Dasan. The activities of the major isoforms in P-deficient shoots decreased in all three genotypes. Depending on the genotypes, further increases in constitutive isoforms and new induction of one to four isoforms occurred in P-deficient roots. The results indicate that tissue and genotype differences in the response of APase to P deficiency are primarily facilitated by the different responses of the isoforms.

진핵세포 유전자의 기초대사발현의 조절계를 밝히기 위한 일환으로, 효모의 histidine생합성계 효소의 구조유전자 HIS5를 이용하였다. HIS5 유전자는 충분한 아미노산 조건하에서는 발현이 억제되어 비교적 높은 기초발현만을 하나, 어떤 아미노산이 결핍되면 탈억제되어 높은 발현량을 보이며 탈억제는 cis의 작용인자인 promoter상의 5'-TGACTC-3' 및 trans 작용인자 GCN4와 GCD17 GCN2등이 관여한다. trans 작용인자들에 의한 HIS5 유전자의 발현량의 변화를 간단하게 측정하기 위하여, HIS5 promoter와 repressible acid phoshates(APase)의 구조유전자중 promoter를 제거한 DNA단편을 연결시켜 HIS5-PHO5 융합유전자를 이용하였다. gcn2 및 gcn4 변이주의 APase 활성은 야생주와 비교하여 3내지 4배 낮았으며, gcn2변이주와 gcn2 gcn4 이중변이주의 APase 활성은 유사하였다.

High-level expression of Thermus caldophilus GK24 alkaline phosphatase (Tca APase) was achieved in Escherichia coli using the pET-based expression plasmids, pEAP1 and pEAP2. In the case of plasmid pEAP2, the signal peptide region of Tca APase was replaced by the PelB leader peptide of expression vector pET-22b(+). Furthermore, the expression level was somewhat higher than that of plasmid pEAPl. A rapid purification procedure of Tca APase overproduced in E. coli was developed which involved heating to denature E. coli proteins followed by HiTrap Heparin HP column chromatography. Optimal temperature and pH and $Mg^{2+}$ dependence of the recombinant Tca APase were similar to those of native enzyme isolated from T. caldophilus GK24.

Lawsone methyl ether (LME. 2-methoxy-1, 4-naphthoquinone) is a natural compound found in balsaminaceae. In this study the effect of LME on the release of renal dipeptidase (RDPase) and alkaline phosphatase (APase) known as glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchored proteins was examined from the renal proximal tubules. Compared with control, LME (0.5mM) increased RDPase release (218%) and APase release (135%). The increase of RDPase release by LME showed concentration-dependent effect but the release pattern of APase did not. (omitted)

The gene encoding Thermus sp. T351 alkaline phosphatase (T351 APase) was cloned and sequenced. The gene consisted of 1,503 bp coding for a protein with 500 amino acid residues including a signal peptide. The deduced amino acid sequence of T351 APase showed relatively low similarity to other Thermus APases. The T351 APase gene was expressed under the control of the T7lac promoter on the expression vector pET-22b(+) in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The expressed enzyme was purified by heat treatment, and $UNO^{TM}$ Q and $HiTrap^{TM}$ Heparin HP column chromatographies. The purified enzyme exhibited high activity at extremely alkaline pHs, reaching a maximum at pH 12.0. The optimum temperature of the enzyme was $80^{\circ}C$, and the half-life at $85^{\circ}C$ was approximately 103 min. The enzyme activity was found to be dependent on metal ions: the addition of $Mg^{2+}$ and $CO^{2+}$ increased the activity, whereas EDTA inhibited it. With p-nitrophenyl phosphate as the substrate, T351 APase had a Michaelis constant ($K_{m}$) of $3.9{\times}10^{-5}M$. The enzyme catalyzed the hydrolysis of a wide variety of phosphorylated compounds.
