For the production of $B^{30}-homoserine$ human insulin precursor, four types of fusion peptides LacZ, MBP, GST, and His-tagged sequence were studied in this work. Recombinant E. coli JM 103 and E. coli JM 109 containing fusion peptides were cultivated at $37^{\circ}C$ for 1hr, and gene expression was occurred when 0.5mM of isopropyl-D-thiogalactoside(IPTG) was added to the culture broth, and followed by longer than 4hr fermentation respectively. DEAE-Sphacel and gel filtration chromatography, amylose and glutathione-Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography, and nickel-affinity chromatography system were employed as purification of $B^{30}-homoserine$ human insulin precursor. Recovery yields of His-tagged, LacZ, GST, and MBP fused $B^{30}-homoserine$ human insulin precursor resulted in 47%, 20%, 20%, and 18%, respectively.

The psychrophilic bacteria Psychromonas arctica survives at subzero temperatures by having adapted several protective mechanisms against freezing and oxidative stresses. Many reactive oxygen species are likely generated in P. arctica as a result of reduced metabolic turnover rates. A previous study identified the pasod gene for superoxide dismutase from P. arctica using a series of PCR amplifications. Here, upon cloning into a His-tag fused plasmid, the sod gene from P. arctica (pasod) was successfully expressed by IPTG induction. His-tagged PaSOD was subsequently purified by $Ni^{2+}$-NTA affinity chromatography. The purified PaSOD exhibited a higher SOD activity than that of Escherichia coli (EcSOD) at all temperatures. The difference in activity between PaSOD and EcSOD becomes even more significant at 4$^{\circ}C$, indicating that PaSOD plays a functional role in the cold adaptation of P. arctica in the Arctic.

Epidermal growth factor(EGF) known as a urgastrone is a powerful mitogen with a wide variety of possibilities for medical usages. A mature EGF coding region was isolated from human prepro-EGF sequence by a conventional PCR and cloned into pQE vector in which the gene product was supposed to be expressed with 6$\times$His tag for the subsequent purification. The recombinant mature EGF was expressed in M15[Rep4], an Escherichia coli host strain, in amount of 30-40% of total proteins pressent in E. coli extract by the addition of isopropylthio-$\beta$-galactopyranoside (IPTG). The recombinant EGF purified using a Ni2+-NTA affinity colume chromatography was active in its ability to induce phosphorylation on tyrosine residues of several substrate proteins when murine NH3T3 and human MRC-5 fibroblast cells were stimulated with it. This work may provide the basic technology and information for the production of recombinant EGF.

Virus-encoded HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RTase) is one of the major targets for the development of drugs for HIV-1 since it is an essential enzyme-for the replication cycle of HIV-1. We cloned the entire reverse trancriptase gene into an inducible expression vector with tac promotor= RTase was stably overexpressed and induced by IPTG and the highly-expressed RTase was purified partially by use of DEAE cellulose and Mono Q column. The partially purified enzyme (663kDa, 51kDa) as exhibited by SDS-PAGE showed the high specific activity (16,570U/mg) when the assay for the RTase activity was carried out using $^3$H-dTTP and poly(rA): oligo(dT)12-18 as the substrate.

Human heavy chain (H-) and light chain (L-) ferritins were amplified from a human cDNA library. Each ferritin gene was inserted downstream of the T7 promoter of bacterial expression vectors, and two types of coexpression vectors were constructed. The expression levels of recombinant ferritins ranged about 26-36% of whole-cell protein. H-ferritin exhibited a lower expression ratio compared with L-ferritin, by a coexpression system. However, the coexpression of HL-ferritins was significantly increased above the expression ratio of H-ferritin by cultivation without IPTG induction overnight. Purified recombinant H-, L-, HL-, and LH-ferritins were shown to be homo- and heteropolymeric high molecular complexes and it was indicated that their assembled subunits would be able to work functionally in the cell. Thus, these results indicate an improvement in the expression strategy of H-ferritin for heteropolymeric production and studies of ferritin assembly in Escherichia coli.

In order to confirm the biological function of ORF10 in cephabacin biosynthesis gene cluster of Lysobacter lactamgenus as an ATP-binding-cassette (ABC) transporter, the gene for ORF10 was amplified and subcloned into pET-28a(+) expression vector. After gene induction with 0.5 mM IPTG at 30~! and further cultivation at $30^~$ !. for 8 hr, a lot of the recombinant ORF10 protein was produced as soluble form in cytoplasmic fraction as well as a membrane protein in the membrane fraction as likely as other ABC transporters.

The production and characterization of an active recombinant N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase (GALNS) in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) has been previously reported. In this study, the effect of the signal peptide (SP), inducer concentration, process scale, and operational mode (batch and semi-continuous) on GALNS production were evaluated. When native SP was presented, higher enzyme activity levels were observed in both soluble and inclusion bodies fractions, and its removal had a significant impact on enzyme activation. At shake scale, the optimal IPTG concentrations were 0.5 and 1.5 mM for the strains with and without SP, respectively, whereas at bench scale, the highest enzyme activities were observed with 1.5 mM IPTG for both strains. Noteworthy, enzyme activity in the culture media was only detected when SP was presented and the culture was carried out under semi-continuous mode. We showed for the first time that the mechanism that in prokaryotes recognizes the SP to mediate sulfatase activation can also recognize a eukaryotic SP, favoring the activation of the enzyme, and could also favor the secretion of the recombinant protein. These results offer significant information for scaling-up the production of human sulfatases in E. coli.

indigo는 염색산업에서 매우 중요한 색소로, 현재는 고가의 식물에서 추출된 indigo 대신에 합성 indigo가 주로 사용된다. 최근 미생물을 이용한 생물학적 방법으로 indigo를 생산하고자 하는 연구가 많이 진행되고 있으며, 여러 미생물원으로부터 다양한 형태의 indole oxygenase를 탐색, 특성의 규명, 효소의 특성 개량, indigo 생산등의 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 Rhodococcus sp. RHA1 유래의 indole oxygenase로 추정되는 유전자를 클로닝하여 대장균에서 발현시킨 결과, 청색 색소가 축적되었으며, 분광광도계, HPLC 및 TLC분석을 통해서 그 청색 색소가 indigo임을 확인하였으며, 또한 전세포를 이용하여 indole 첨가시 indigo가 생성됨을 측정하여, 본 연구의 효소가 indole을 indigo로 전환을 촉매하는 indole oxygenase임을 확인하였고, 트립토판을 첨가한 TB배지에서 약 $236{\mu}M$의 인디고가 생산됨을 알았다. 본 연구를 통해 조사된 특성 이외에 효소 활성의 개량, 적절한 생산용 균주의 선정, 경제적이며 안정적인 대량 발현, 배지 및 배양 공정의 최적화 과정등을 거칠 경우, 보다 더 실용적인 indigo생산 생물공정의 확립이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구에서는 Bacillus 유래 esterase를 생산할 수 있는 재조합 대장균을 사용하여 유가식 배양을 이용한 고농도 균체 배양을 통해 esterase 생산성을 극대화하고자 하였다. 유가식 배양 중 순수 산소의 공급을 통해 용존산소를 30% 이상 유지한 경우와 포도당농도를 1 g/l 이상 유지한 경우 각각 $OD_{600}$ 76 (35.8 g/l DCW)과 $OD_{600}$ 90 (42.4 g/l DCW)까지 균체량을 증가시킬 수 있었다. 포도당의 공급에도 불구하고 배양 후반에 세포의 성장이 정체되는 현상을 극복하기 위해 yeast extract가 강화된 추가 배지의 공급을 시도하였으며, 그 결과 $OD_{600}$ 185 (87.3 g/l DCW)까지 고농도 균체 배양이 가능함을 확인하였다. 단백질 생산 수율의 향상을 위해 성장 시기에 따라 induction에 의한 세포 성장과 esterase 생산성을 평가하였고, 그 결과 대수 성장기 후반에 induction을 유도한 경우 세포 성장 측면에서는 최대 $OD_{600}$ 190(89 g/l DCW)까지 고농도 균체 배양이 가능함을 확인하였다. Esterase 생산성 측면에서는 대수 성장기 초반에 induction 을 유도한 경우에 비해 최대 5.8배 생산성이 증가됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 순수산소와 질소원의 공급을 통해 확립된 대장균 고밀도 배양방법을 기초로 IPTG 유도시간을 최적화 함으로써 Bacillus 유래 esterase의 최대 생산성을 확보할 수 있는 배양방법을 확립하였다.
