The delta sleep-inducing peptides (DSIP, Trp-Ala-Gly-Gly-Asp-Ala-Ser-Gly-Glu) is an important regulatory hormone, controlling hypothalamus and pituitary functions. In the current study, an expression system was designed for the rapid and economic expression oi recombinant DSIP for biophysical studies. Artificially synthesized oligonucleotides encoding DSIP were cloned into a pGEX-KG vector and expressed in E. coli (BL21). The recombinant GST-DSIP was then readily purified using a GST affinity column. To obtain intact DSIP from the GST-DSIP, thrombin cleavage and a CNBr reaction were successively carried out. The DSIP in the CNBr reaction mixture was subjected to RP-HPLC purification to yield 1.2 mg DSIP from a 1 liter culture of E. coli. Identification of the DSIP was peformed using MALDI-MS and an amino acid composition analysis.

재조합 소성장호르몬을 트립신, S.aureus V8 단백질가수분해효소, CNBr, 그리고 산 가수분해법을 이용하여 단백질 일차구조 분석을 실시하였다. N-말단 분석은 30 잔기까지를 수행하였는데, 대장균 내에서 발현된 소성장호르몬은 E. coli 내 에 존재 하는 methionyl-aminopeptidase에 의해 해독개시인자로 넣어준 N-말단의 Met이 모두 제거된 형태로 나타났으며 아미노산 조성분석 결과 연역된 조성과 유사하게 나타났다. 효소와 화학물질로 절단한 소성장호르몬 조각들을 HPLC로 분리한 후 단백질 서열분석기를 이용하여 아미노산 서열을 분석하였다. 대장균에서 발현된 소성장호르몬은 191개의 아미노산으로 구성된 21,802 Da의 분자량을 갖고 있는 단백질로 나타났다. 여기에서 을 갖고 있는 단백질로 나타났다. 여기에서 얻은 아미노산 서열을 바탕으로 hydropathy plot을 한 결과 N-말단에서는 소수성이 그리고 C-말단에서는 친수성 영역이 나타났다.

For the production of $B^{30}-homoserine$ insulin analog as a novel anti-diabetic drug, the fermentative study was attempted for the maximal gene expression of HTS-fused $B^{30}-homoserine$ insulin precursor in the recombinant Escherichia coli cells. In a batch fermentation, the maximal production of insulin precursor as much as 38.95 mg/L-h, which occupied more than 12.8% of total cell protein. was achieved when the gene expression was induced by 0.5 mM IPTG at the middle logarithmic growth phase. The HTS-fused $B^{30}-homoserine$ insulin precursor was recovered from a batch culture through the processes of cell harvest, collection of insoluble fraction after sonication and purification by nickel affinity column chromatography. The isolated insulin precursor was 14 mg/L with a recovery yield of 35.9% of expressed gene product. The insulin A and B chain mixture was recovered after the insulin precursor was subjected to CNBr cleavage and purified by nickel affinity column chromatography. The isolated insulin chains were then sulfitolyzed with sodium thiosulfat and sodium tetrathionate, and reconstituted to insulin analog with ${\beta}-mercaptoethanol$, followed by purification with CM-Sepharose C-25 column chromatography.

Human melanocortin-4 receptor (hMC4R) among MC-Rs, expressed in the brain, is in charge of the control on energy homeostasis and food intake. The structure and function of human MC4R have been studied to understand their essential function and roles. To investigate the structure and function, it is necessary to prepare sufficient amounts of proteins. However, their expression and purification is demanding and time-consuming due to their innate insoluble and toxic properties. The heterozygous mutations of hMC4R, exchange of Asp 90 to Asn located in second transmembrane, cause severe obesity in human. To obtain purified hMC4R wt-TM2 for structural studies, it was first over-expressed and purified by fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) and then solution NMR studies were performed to get high-resolution spectra. In here, we established optimized purification scheme to get more purified target peptide.
