  • In order to increase the production and secretion rate of mouse salivary $\alpha$-amylase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, various experiments were attempted. A plasmid pCNNinv (AMY) was constructed by the substitution of ADCl promoter and native signal sequence of mouse salivary $\alpha$-amylase cDNA gene with PRBI promoter and yeast invertase leader sequence, which resulted in 25% increase in the production of $\alpha$-amylase in the culture medium. The respiratory deficient transformant carrying pCNNinv (AMY) were obtained by treating yeast cells with ethidium bromide, and the $\alpha$-amylase activities in the culture brothes of the respiratory-deficient transformants were 5-8 times higher than that of parental wild type strain. $\alpha$-Amylase activity was also increased 3 times when the 0.015% (w/v) of 2-mercaptoethanol was added to the culture medium.

  • The upstream regulatory region (URR) of bovine papillomavirus type 1 (BPV) contains promoters and a conditional transcriptional enhancer that is trans-activated by the viral E2 protein. After deleting the 5' and 3' ends of BPV URR, BamHI linkers were inserted into several positions of BPV URR without causing an addition or a deletion of URR sequences. Most linker scanning mutations did not show any effects on the transcription of P7940 and P89 promoters in BPV URR. However, several mutants showed reduced transcriptional activities. Based on our results we found that the AP-2 and Sp1 binding sites were important for basal level transcription of BPV URR in the absence of the E2 protein and that the CTF/NF-1 site is dispensable for E2 transactivation of BPV URR transcription.

  • The overproduction and high level secretion of Glucose Oxidase (GOD) from A. niger in S. cerevisiae was carried out by cloning GOD gene. For this purpose, using two different strong promoters (ADH1 promoter, GAL10 promoter) and signal sequences (${alpha}$-MF signal sequence of S. cerevisiae and ${alpha}$-amylase signal sequence of A. oryzae) and GAL7- and GOD terminator, four expression vectors were constructed. All the expression vectors were transformed in S. cerevisiae 2805 using auxotroph method. By the flask culture, transformants of pGAL expression vector series containing GAL 10 promotor showed much higher GOD productivity than transformants of pADH expression vector series containing ADH1 promoter Transformants of pGALGO2 containing GAL10 promotor and ${alpha}$-amylase signal sequence has shown the best productivity of GOD ($GOD_{total}$: 10.3 unit/mL, $GOD_{ex}$: 8.7 unit/mL) at 115 hr. This value was three fold higher than that of pGALGO1 containing GAL 10 promotor and ${alpha}$-MF signal sequence, even if the same promotor was involved. Through the ${alpha}$-amylase signal sequence of A. oryzae, GOD was secreted much more than the case of ${alpha}$-MF signal sequence from S. cerevisiae. These results suggest that signal sequence may play a important roles in not only the secretion but also the overproduction of foreign protein. Secretion rate of GOD in pGALGO1 and pGALGO2 was 89% and 84%, respectively, Because of the overglycosylation in S. cerevisiae the molecular weight of recombinant GOD in S. cerevisiae was much larger (250 kDa) than that of nature GOD in A. niger (170 kDa).

  • An Avabidofsis thaliana gene encoding phosphoribosyl anthranilate transferase is shown to be the gene that is defective in blue fluorescent trp 1 mutant plants. This gene, named PAT1, coding region is homologous to those for the phosphoribosyl anthranilate transferase from many microorganisms. This is due to a defect in tryptophan biosynthesis that leads to an accumulation of anthranilate, a fluorescent intermediate in the tryptophan pathway. PAT1 is a single-copy gene that complements all of the visible phenotypes of the different trp1 mutants. Experiments to determine the regulation of the PAT1 gene are in progress. The wild-type PAT1 promoter and several promoter deletions of PAT1 gene have been transformed into Arabidopsis tryptophan mutants. These constructs might identify promoter elements that control this patterns. We have isolated the homozygous lines in T3 seeds and analysed the protein levels using PAT antibody and PAT protein level increased two fold in pHSl07. Finally, the potential of using PAT1 as a selectable marker or visible reporter of gene expression is being explored.

  • Among the annotated ORFs of Streptomyces coelicolor, SCO7697 was supposed to encode for phytase (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate phosphohydrolase). The DNA fragment containing SCO7697 was cloned by the PCR from the chromosomal DNA of S.coelicolor A3(2)M. The cloned fragment was introduced into E. coli expres-sion vector, pET28a(+), to yield two recombinant plasmids, pET28-SP and pET28-LP, which were designed to encode different length of proteins. When the pET28-SP and pET28-LP were introduced into E. coli BL21, the transformants successfully overexpressed recombinant proteins, but the molecular weights of the expressed pro-teins were appeared bigger than those of expected in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The shift of cul-tural temperature from 37 to $30^{\circ}C$ made most of expressed protein be solubilized. The expressed protein, however, did not show any phytase activity. When the DNA fragment with its own promoter placed on the E. coli-Streptomyces vector, pWHM3, and introduced into S. lividans, the phytase activity was not detected either. These results suggest that even though the SCO7697 was annotated as a probable phytase with high probability (E value is $6e^{-89}$), the real product doest not have phytase activity.

  • A gene encoding the xylanase (XynA) predicted from partial genomic sequence of Paenibacillus woosongensis was cloned into Escherichia coli by PCR. This xynA gene consisted of 633 nucleotides, encoding a polypeptide of 211 amino acid residues. The deduced amino acid sequence exhibited 85-89% identity with those of several Paenibacillus xylanases, belonging to the glycosyl hydrolase family 11. As a results of expression of the structural gene by T7 promoter of a pET23a(+) expression vector, xylanase activity was higher in cell-free extract than culture filtrate of a recombinant Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) CodonPlus. However, the expression level of xylanase was not sufficient be detected by SDS-PAGE. The cell-free extract showed maximal xylanase activity at $60^{\circ}C$ and pH 5.5. The predominant products resulting from xylan and xylooligosaccharide hydrolysis were xylose and xylotriose. The enzyme could hydrolyze xylooligosaccharides larger than xylbiose.

  • Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a neuromodulator of nociceptive responses in the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and spinal cord. BDNF synthesis increases in response to nerve growth factor (NGF) in trkA-expressing small and medium-sized DRG neurons after inflammation. Previously we demonstrated differential activation of multiple BDNF promoters in the DRG following peripheral nerve injury and inflammation. Using reporter constructs containing individual promoter regions, we investigated the effect of NGF on the multiple BDNF promoters, and the signaling pathway by which NGF activates these promoters in PC12 cells. Although all the promoters were activated 2.4-7.1-fold by NGF treatment, promoter IV gave the greatest induction. The p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitor, SB203580, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI-3K) inhibitor, LY294003, protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor, H89, and protein kinase C (PKC) inhibitor, chelerythrine, had no effect on activation of promoter IV by NGF. However, activation was completely abolished by the MAPK kinase (MEK) inhibitors, U0126 and PD98059. In addition, these inhibitors blocked NGF-induced phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK) 1/2. Taken together, these results suggest that the ERK1/2 pathway activates BDNF promoter IV in response to NGF independently of NGF-activated signaling pathways involving PKA and PKC.

  • Sialyltransferase gene expression is altered in several cancers, including examples in the cervix. Transcriptional regulation of the responsible genes depends on different promoters. We aimed to determine the association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the B3 promoter of the ST3GAL4 gene and the P1 promoter of the ST6GAL1 gene with cervical premalignant lesions or cervical cancer. A blood sample and/or cervical scrapes were obtained from 104 women with normal cytology, 154 with premalignant lesions and 100 with cervical cancer. We also included 119 blood samples of random donors. The polymorphisms were identified by sequencing from PCR products. For the B3 promoter, a fragment of 506 bp (from nucleotide -408 to +98) was analyzed, and for the P1 promoter a 490 bp (-326 to +164) fragment. The polymorphism analysis showed that at SNP rs10893506, genotypes CC and CT of the ST3GAL4 B3 promoter were associated with the presence of premalignant lesions (OR=2.89; 95%CI 1.72-4.85) and cervical cancer (OR=2.23; 95%CI 1.27-3.91). We detected only one allele of each polymorphism in the ST6GAL1 P1 promoter. We did not detect any genetic variability in the P1 promoter region in our study population. Our results suggest that the rs10893506 polymorphism -22C/T may increase susceptibility to premalignant and malignant lesions of the cervix.

  • The arsenical resistance (ars) operon was cloned from a 67-kilobase pair (kb) plasmid, which was previously shown to be responsible for arsenic salts resistance in K. oxytoca D12. When plasmid pAE48, carrying the ars operon, was transformed into E. coli, transformed cells displayed enhanced survival in the presence of 4 mM arsenite, 50 mM arsenate, or 0.4 mM antimonite. The nucleotide sequence of the 5.6-kb fragment encoding arsenical resistance revealed five open reading frames (ORFs), which were predicted to encode polypeptides of 12.8 (arsR), 13.4 (arsD), 62.6 (arsA), 45 (arsB), and 16.7 (arse) kilodaltons (kDa). Each ORF was preceded by a ribosome binding site. A putative promoter-like sequence was identified upstream of arsR, and a possible termination site was found downstream of arsC. When the deduced amino acid sequences of the K. oxytoca Dl2 Ars proteins were compared with the amino acid sequences of the E. coli R773 Ars proteins, a significant amino acid similarity was observed (87.9% for ArsR, 89.2% for ArsD, 83.2% for ArsA, 92.6% for ArsB, and 91.3% for ArsC), suggesting an evolutionary relationship of the ars genes of E. coli plasmid R773 and K. oxytoca Dl2.

  • The expression and secretion of human lactoferrin (hLf) in Sacclnromyces diastaticus were performed. 1. For the secretion of hLf in yeast, recombinant plasmid pYEGLf was constructed using promoter, secretion signal sequence of glucoamylase I gene (STA1) and transcriptional terminator of GAL7 gene. 2. Each correct recombinant plasmid was selected by mini-preparation of plasmid DNA from E coli transformant and restriction enzyme digestion analysis. The selected plasmids, pYEGLf, were transformed into S. diastaticus YIY345 as a expression host, respectively. 3. Western blot analysis using rabbit anti-hLf was carried out to identify expressed hLf. Positive signals were shown in culture supernatant of pYEGLf transformant. 4. About $100{\mu}g-1mg$ of concentrated culture supernatant of positive clone were loaded on paper disc and tested for the antimicrobial activity against E coli. However, no activity was observed. We concluded that this fact results from low concentration of hLf secreted from yeast, compared with the fact that MIC of hLf is as high as $3mg/m{\ell}$. Therefore, the purification of secreted hLf may be require to investigate the antimicrobial activity. From this study, the feasibility of low-cost production of sufficient quantities of human lactofferin for nutritional and therapeutical applications were suggested.
