  • 분자진화방법을 이용하여 불용성 단백질을 가용성 단백질로 개량하고자 할 때 가장 중요한 과정은 발현 단백질의 세포 내 폴딩 및 용해도를 어떻게 측정하고 선별할 수 있는가에 있다. 본 연구에서는 ampicillin에 저항성을 가지는 beta-lactamase를 목적 단백질과 접합 형태로 발현하여 목적 단백질의 용해도를 측정 및 선별할 수 있는 방법을 구축하였다. 이를 위하여 먼저 beta-lactamase C-말단에 목적 단백질을 링커를 이용하여 접합단백질 형태로 발현시킬 수 있는 발현 시스템을 구축하였고, 구축된 발현시스템이 대장균의 ampicillin의 저항성을 향상시킴을 확인하였다. 구축된 발현시스템에 용해도가 비교적 높은 adenine deaminase와 aspartate aminotranseferase, 용해도가 매우 낮은 GlcNAc-2-epimerase 세가지 단백질의 유전자를 클로닝하여 Ampicillin 농도에 따라 목적 단백질의 용해도가 세포 성장에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Ampicillin 농도 $200{\mu}g/mL$에서 가용성 단백질인 adenine deaminase와 aspartate aminotranseferase의 접합 단백질 발현은 세포 성장을 보이는 반면, 불용성 단백질인 GlcNAc-2-epimerase 접합 단백질 발현은 세포 성장을 저해함을 확인하였다.

  • Sialic acids are key determinants for biological processes, such as cell-cell interaction and differentiation. Sialyltransferases contribute to the diversity in carbohydrate structure through their attachment of sialic acid in various terminal positions on glycolipid and glycoprotein (N-linked and O-linked) carbohydrate groups. Gal$\beta$ 1,3(4)GlcNAc $\alpha$2,3-sialyltransferase (ST3Gal III) is involved in the biosynthesis of $sLe^{X}$ and sLe^{a}$ known as selection ligands and tumor-associated carbohydrate structures. The appearance and differential distribution of ST3Gal III mRNA during mice embryogenesis [embryonic (E) days; E9, E11, E13, E15] were investigated by in situ hybridization with digoxigenin-labeled RNA probes coupled with alkaline phosphatase detection. On E9, all tissues were positive for ST3Gal III mRNA expression whereas ST3Gal III mRNA on E11 was not detected throughout all tissues. On E13, ST3GAl III mRNA was expressed in different manner in various tissues. In this stage, ST3Gal III mRNA was positive only in the liver, pancreas and bladder. On E15, specific signal for ST3GAl III was detected in the liver, lung and forebrain. These results indicate that ST3Gal III is differently expressed at developmental stages of mice embryo, and this may be importantly related with regulation of organogenesis in mice.

  • A trisaccharide, the O-antigenic repeating unit of C. jejuni serotype O:23 and O:36, was synthesized as a 2 -azidoethyl glycoside by block addition of perbenzylated thiogalactoside donors to $\alpha$-altroHepp-(1$\rightarrow$3)-GlcNPhth disaccharide acceptor in presence of IDCP promoter. The $\alpha$-linked altroheptopyranoside moiety in the glycosyl acceptor was effectively prepared by Swern oxidation of $\alpha$-mannohepp-(1$\rightarrow$3)-GlcNPhth disaccharide followed by mild reduction with1 $NaCNBH_3$.

  • 토양으로부터 chitinase를 생성하는 균주를 분리하여 동정한 결과 Bacillus subtilis로 판명되었으며, 분리한 균주를 Bacillus subtilis JK-56이라 명명하였다. B. subtilis JK-56의 chitinase 생산 최적 조건을 검토한 결과 1% chitin, 0.5% polypeptone, 0.1% KCI, 0.05% MnS $O_4$.4$H_2O$이며 초발 pH 7.0, 배양온도 37$^{\circ}C$에서 가장 많은 효소를 생산하였다. 본 균주가 생산하는 chitinase를 정제하기 위해서 native-PAGE를 이용해 효소활성 band를 확인한 결과, 1개의 강한 활성 band와 2개의 약한 활성 band를 가지는 isozyme으로 확인되었다. 확인된 isozyme을 정제한 결과, isozyme 중 1개의 강한 활성 band를 정제하였고 정제된 효소를 Chi-56A라고 명명하였다 Chi-56A의 효소 특성에 관해서 실험한 결과 분자량은 약 53kDa, pI는 4.3으로 확인되었다. 본 효소는 $65^{\circ}C$까지 상당히 안정하였으며 효소의 최대활성 온도도 $65^{\circ}C$로 확인되는 등 열에 대해 상당히 안정한 효소로 확인되었다. Collidal chitin에 대한 정제효소 Chi-56A의 $K_{m}$ 값은 17.33g/L였다. 그리고 pH 6.0에서 최대의 활성을 나타내었고, 산성범위보다 알칼리범위에서 안정한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 $Mn^{2+}$ 존재 하에서 높은 활성을 나타내었고 C $O^{2+}$$Mg^{2+}$ 존재 하에서도 활성이 약간 증가한 반면에 H $g^{2+}$ 존재 하에서는 상당한 저해를 받았다. Chito 올리고당에 대한 분해 산물을 HPLC로 확인해 본 결과 짝수개의 올리고당의 분해산물은 (GlcNAc)$_2$만을 생산하였고 홀수개의 올리고당에 대해서는 GlcNAc와 (GlcNAc)$_2$를 생산하는 것으로 비환원성 말단으로부터 이당체인 diacetyl chitobiose ((GlcNAc)$_2$)를 생산하는 exo형 chitinase로 추정 된다.

  • Purpose: Poly-N-acetyl glucosamine(PGlcNAc) nanofiber-based materials, produced by a marine microalga, have been characterized as effective hemostatic and angiogenic agents. The similarity between PGlcNAc patch and the natural extracellular matrix allows it to support new healthy tissue growth in an injured area and to encourage fluid absorption. In this study, we hypothesized that a poly-N-acetyl glucosamine fiber patch(PGlcNAc patch) may enhance wound healing in the db/db mouse. Methods: PGlcNAc patches were applied on one square centimeter, full-thickness, skin wounds in the db/db mouse model. Wounds(n=15 per group) were dressed with a PGlcNAc nanofiber patch for 1 hour(1 h), 24 hours(24 h) or left untreated(NT). After the application time, patches were removed and wounds were allowed to heal spontaneously. The rate of wound closure was evaluated by digital analysis of unclosed wound area in course of time. At day 10, wounds(n=7 per group) were harvested and quantified with immunohistochemical markers of proliferation(Ki-67) and vascularization (platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule, PECAM-1). Results: Wounds dressed with PGlcNAc patches for 1 hour closed faster than control wounds, reaching 90% closure in 16.6 days, nine days faster than untreated wounds. Granulation tissue showed higher levels of proliferation and vascularization following 1 h treatment than the 24 h and NT groups. In addition to its hemostatic properties, the PGlcNAc material also appears to accelerate wound closure in healing-impaired genetically diabetic mice. Conclusion: This material, with its combination of hemostatic and wound healing properties, has the potential to be effective agent for the treatment of complicated wounds.
