The raw starch hydrolysis by amylase prepared from alkaline-tolerant Bacillus sp. were investigated. Degree of hydrolysis(%) of 5%(w/v) raw rice, corn and potato starch by this enzyme were about 40, 25 and 20%, respectively. The hydrolysis action on raw starch by change of blue value was similar to the action pattern of exo ${\beta}$-amylase. The hydrolysis products of rice starch were mainly glucose and maltose. Oligosaccarides were also detected. From the above results, this enzyme was considered as exo type ${\alpha}$-amylase. This enzyme activity on the raw starch and the gelatinized starch were 28.40 and 86.60 IU/mg protein, respectively, and the ratio of raw starch-digesting activity to gelatinized starch-digesting activity (raw starch digestivity) was about 32%. The Km values for the raw and the gelatinized starch were 4.22 and 3.0mg/mL, respectively, and the VmaX values were 0.20 and 0.31mg/mL/min, respectively.

The lysine residues of Bacillus licheniformis $\alpha$-amylase (BLA) were chemically modified using citraconic anhydride or succinic anhydride. Modification caused fundamental changes in the enzymes specificity, as indicated by a dramatic increase in maltosidase and a reduction in amylase activity. These changes in substrate specificity were found to coincide with a change in the cleavage pattern of the substrates and with a conversion of the native endo- form of the enzyme to a modified exo- form. Progressive increases in the productions of $\rho$-nitrophenol or glucose, when para nitrophenyl-maltoheptaoside or soluble starch, respectively, was used as substrate, were observed upon modification. The described changes were affected by the size of incorporated modified reagent: citraconic anhydride was more effective than succinic anhydride. Reasons for the observed changes are discussed and reasons for the effectivenesses of chemical modifications for tailoring enzyme specificities are suggested.

Expression of the crylAcl gene of an acrystalliferous Bacillus thuringiensis strain under the control of the native or $\alpha$-amylase gene promoter was investigated. The crylAcl gene was cloned in a B. thuringiensis - E. coli shutle vector, pHT3101, undder the control of either the native promoter (pProAc) or the $\alpha$-amylase promoter from Bacillus subtilis (pAmyAc). These two recombinant plasmids were successfully expressed in B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki Cry B. The first transformant (ProAc/CB), harboring pProAc, expressed an about 130 kDa protein begining 24 hr after inoculations just as in the case of the wild type of B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki HD-73. The second pAmyAc-transformant (AmyAc/CB) began to express the gene just 6 hr after inoculation, but Western analysis showed that the activity of the $\alpha$-amylase promoter was relatively weaker than that of the native promoter. As expected, their toxicity against Plutella xylostella larvae was dependent on the amount of Cry1Acl protein expressed.

감자 생전분의 분해력이 강한 $\alpha$-amylase를 생산하는 Bacillus circulans F-2를 선발하고, 이 균주가 생산하는 $\alpha$-amylase를 정제하였으며, 정제효소의 polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis, SDS-polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis 및 soluble starch에 eo한 분해산물을 검사하고 그 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1 조효소액을 corn starch흡착, 유안분획, Bio-Gel P-100에 의한 gel filtration 및 DE-32 column chromatography에 의하여 specific activity 50.0 u/mg protein(원 비활성의 약 23배), 수율 25. 5%의 정제효소를 얻었다. 2. 정제효소에 대하여 polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis를 실시한 결과 $\alpha$-amylase activity를 가지는 아주 인접된 2ro의 Band가 나타났으나, SDS-polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis의 결과, polyacrylamide disc gel electrophoresis에서 나타난 2개의 Band는 charge가 약간 다른 charge isomer의 $\alpha$-amylase임을 시준하는 single band가 나타났다. 3. Polyacrylamide의 농도에 따른 2개 Band의 log mobility의 plot는 charge isomer를 가리키는 평행선을 나타내었다. 4. 두 효소단백질 Band의 작용 pattern을 알기 위하여 2개의 Band를 각각 분리하여 추출하고 soluble starch에 작용시켜 생성된 oligosaccharide의 pattern을 paper chromatography로 확인한 바 2개의 효소단백질 Band는 동일한 작용 pattern을 나타내었다. 5. Soluble starch로부터 생성되는 유일한 초기 가수분해산물은 maltohexaose이었다.

The $\alpha$-amylase gene, amyL, from Bacillus licheniformis was expressed in Lactobacillus brevis 2.14 and Escherichia coli $DH5{\alpha}$ using two different shuttle vectors, pCW4 and pSJE. E. coli transformants (TFs) harboring either $pCW4T{\alpha}$ or $pSJET{\alpha}$ produced active $\alpha$-amylase but L. brevis TFs did not, as determined by enzyme assays and zymography. But amyL transcripts were synthesized in L. brevis TFs. In terms of plasmid stability, pSJE, a theta-type replicon, was more stable than pCW4, an RCR (rolling circle replication) plasmid, in L. brevis without antibiotic selection.

Bacillus licheniformis가 분비하는 ${\alpha}-amylase$를 정제한 후 기질과 금속이온이 효소의 열안정성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. $Ca^{++}$ 이온 및 $B^{+++}$ 이온의 존재시에는 D-value가 7,880 sec 및 2,210 sec로 대조구에 비하여 높은 값을 보였으며 $Ca^{++}$ 이온과 $B^{+++}$ 이온이 동시에 존재할 때는 $D_{85}=24,000\;sec$로 상승효과를 보였다. $Ca^{++}$ 이온 존재시 열불활성화에 대한 활성화에너지 $({\Delta}H{\neq})$는 320.2 kJ/mol이고 $B^{+++}$ 이온의 경우에는 212.9 kJ/mol이었으며 대조구에서는 183.9 kJ/mol 이었다. 기질의 존재하에서는 ${\alpha}-amylase$는 높은 열안정성을 보였는데 30% 전분의 존재하에 $96^{\circ}C$, 30분 열처리한 결과 약 51%의 잔존역가를 검출하였으며 기질에 $Ca^{++}$ 이온을 첨가하였을 때에는 열안정성이 더욱 증가하였다.

In the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens ${\alpha}$-amylase (BAA), the loop (residues 176-185; region I) that is the part of the calcium-binding site (CaI, II) has two more amino acid residues than the ${\alpha}$-amylase from Bacillus licheniformis (BLA). Arg176 in this region makes an ionic interaction with Glu126 from region II (residues 118-130), but this interaction is lost in BLA owing to substitution of R176Q and E126V. The goal of the present work was to quantitatively estimate the effect of ionic interaction on the overall stability of the enzyme. To clarify the functional and structural significance of the corresponding salt bridge, Glu126 was deleted (${\Delta}$E126) and converted to Val (E126V), Asp (E126D), and Lys (E126K) by site-directed mutagenesis. Kinetic constants, thermodynamic parameters, and structural changes were examined for the wild-type and mutated forms using UV-visible, atomic absoption, and fluorescence emission spectroscopy. Wild-type exhibited higher $k_{cat}$ and $K_m$ but lower catalytic efficiency than the mutant enzymes. A decreased thermostability and an increased flexibility were also found in all of the mutant enzymes when compared with the wild-type. Additionally, the calcium content of the wild-type was more than ${\Delta}E126$. Thus, it may be suggested that ionic interaction could decrease the mobility of the discussed region, prevent the diffusion of cations, and improve the thermostability of the whole enzyme. Based on these observations, the contribution of loop destabilization may be compensated by the formation of a salt bridge that has been used as an evolutionary mechanism or structural adaptation by the mesophilic enzyme.

Bacillus circulans F-2의 생산하는 NaCl 의존성 amylase(NaCl-dependent amylase) 유전자를 함유하는 1795bp의 DNA 염기배열을 결정하였다. 본 유전자의 ORF는 총염기수 1005bp(335 아미노산)로 구성되며, 분자량 38,006의 amylase의 분자량 약 35,000과 일치하였다. 본 유전자의 상류영역(upstream region)에는 고초균(Bacillus subtiis)의 전형적인 전사발현영역(transcriptional region)과 상보적인 DNA역역이 존재하였다. 성숙단백질의 N-말단측 아미노산 배열은 Ala-Ser-Lys-Val-Gly이며, 분비에 필요한 20개의 signal 아미노산 배열을 갖는 전형적인 분비 단백질임이 확인 되었다. 한편 다른 amylase들과 비교결과, smylase 활성발현과 밀접히 관련되 있는 4개 부위의 상보성영역(homologous region)을 가지고 있었다.
