  • We have purified and characterized cecropin A-like antibacterial peptide from the hemolymph of immunized Galleria mellonella larvae. Acid extraction, gel filtration, preparative acid urea PAGE, and reversed-phase HPLC were used for purification of peptide. The molecular mass of the purified peptide was estimated to be 4160.68 Da by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. (omitted)

  • The K. aerogenes ureal gene product was previously shown to facilitate assembly of the crease metallocenter (Lee, M. H., Mulrooney, S. B., Renner, M. J., Markowicz, Y., and Hausinger, R. P. (1992) J. Bacteriol. 174, 4324-4330). UreG protein has now been purified and characterized. Although the protein is predicted to possess a putative NTP-binding P-loop motif, equilibrium dialysis studies showed negative results. Immunogold electron microscopic studies using polyclonal antibodies directed against UreG protein confirm that UreG is located in the cytoplasm as predicted in the DNA sequence.

  • The protein coding sequence of the 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase was amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from a previously cloned cDNA of pig brain using a pair of primers based on the published sequence. The amplified DNA was introduced into a T7 expression vector. Recombinant 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferases were overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The inclusion bodies were formed when enzyme was overexpressed. The unfolded, overproduced proteins were purified by chromatography with hydroxyapatite and refolded by a sequential dialysis method. The renatured 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase regained the catalytic activity. However, the purified mutant protein did not show the catalytic function of 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase.

  • FANCJ is a DNA helicase which contributes genome stability by resolving G-quadruplex DNA from 5' to 3' direction. In addition to main ATPase helicase core, FANCJ has the protein binding region at its C-terminal part. BRCA1 and BLM are the binding partner of FANCJ and these protein-protein interactions contribute genomic stability and the proper response to replication stress. As the first attempt for studying FANCJ-BLM interaction, we prepared BLM binding region of FANCJ and characterized with CD and NMR spectroscopy. FANCJ (881-941) with N-ter 6xHis was purified as the oligomer. Secondary structure prediction based on CD data revealed that FANCJ (881-941) composed with ${\beta}$ sheet, turn and coils.$^1H-^{15}N$ HSQC spectra showed nonhomogeneous peak intensities with less number of peaks comparing than the number of amino acids in the construct. It indicated that optimization should be necessary for detailed further structural studies.

  • A deoxyriboendonuclease has been purified to near homogeneity from a fast growing mycobacterium species, M. smegmatis and characterized to some extent. The size of enzyme is about 43 kDa as determined by a denaturing gel analysis. It shows optimum activity at $32^{\circ}C$ in Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.2) containing 2.5 mM of $MgCl_2$. Both EDTA and $K^+$ but not $Na^+$ inhibit its activity. Evidences show that the enzyme is not a restriction endonuclease but catalyzes the endonucleolytic cleavage of both the double- as well as the single-strand DNA non-specifically. It has been shown that the cleavage by this enzyme generates DNA fragments carrying phosphate groups at 5' ends and hydroxyl group at the 3' ends, respectively. Analysis reveals that no endonuclease having size and property identical to our deoxyriboendonuclease had been purified from M. smegmatis before. The property of our enzymes closely matches with the deoxyriboendonucleases purified from diverse sources including bacteria.

  • A mammalian DNA repair enzyme, UV endonuclease III which also functions as a ribosomal protein S3 (rpS3), was purified from mouse cells and characterized. UV endonuclease III was previously cloned and known to yield a peptide of 32 kDa upon expression in E. coli [Kim et al., (1995) J. Bioi. Chem. 270, 13620-13629]. However, biochemically purified UV endonuclease III, which has a sedimentation coefficient of 3.25, appears to have an additional peptide of 28 kDa. It appears that two bands were derived from one complex, judging from the comparison of the nuclease activity on the native and SDS-gel electrophoreses. UV endonuclease III becomes non-specific upon purification and this phenomenon is more significant in the case of pure fractions of the enzyme. Non-specific activity was not influenced by pH or any salt conditions.

  • Recent advances in recombinant DNA techniques have provided a tool for breeding of microorganisms of hyper production. Enzyme production by cloned microorganism has some advantages. They are ⅰ) Enzymes can be produced by a microorganism easily cultured ⅱ) Hyper production. ⅲ) In some cases, such as thermophilic enzyme gene is cloned in a mesophilic bacteria, the enzyme purification procedure can be simplified. One example, production of thermophilic ${\beta}$-galactosidase in B. subtilis will be presented. Bacillus stearothermophilus IAM 11001 produced three ${\beta}$-galactosidases, ${\beta}$-galactosidase I, II and III (${\beta}$-gal-I, II and III). By connecting restriction fragments of the chromosomal DNA to plasmid vector, followed by transformation of Escherichia coli, two ${\beta}$-galactosidase genes (bgaA and bgaB) located close to each other on the chromosome were cloned.
