We constructed an efficient T-vector, pTQEST216T that employed an engineered esterase as an indicator for direct cloning of PCR products. After ligation of the XcmI-digested vector with PCR products, this cloning system could easily discriminate positive clones owing to insertional inactivation of the esterase reporter. Additionally, PCR products were efficiently cloned into this vector without the gel purification steps, owing to the well-designed multi-cloning site that was in-frame fused at the circularly permutated gap of the reporter.

A new GFP-based T-vector for cloning of PCR products was developed by using a green fluorescent protein (GFP) as a mafker. In order to facilitate the DNA inserts, multiple restriction sites, SP6 and T7 RNA polymerase promoter sites, were introduced close to the PCR DNA insertion site of a pCRGv vector. The XcmI-digested pHNT plasmid can be used to clone a 3' A-overhanged PCR DNA amplified by Taq DNA polymerase. A potential method of easing some difficulties from its use along with its cost savings proveded by this vector are likely to lead to the replacement of other T-vectors for PCR DNA cloning.

사람 성장호르몬 수용체(hGHR) cDNA는 PCR방법에 의하여 fagment로서 보고되어진 바 있으나, liver cDNA로 부터 전장을 cloning한 보고는 없는 실정으로 본 연구에서는 기능을 가진 약 4.6kbp의 cDNA hGHR을 cloning 하는데 성공하였다. 먼저 cloning하기 위하여 human liver mRNA와 human breast cancer tissue로부터 회수한 mRNA를 RT-PCR방법에 의하여 human cDNA library와 cloning에 필요한 probe를 제작하였다. human library mRNA는 GT-PCR방법에 의하여 증폭하여 증폭되어진 산물은 λZAP Vector를 이용하여 cDNA library를 구축하였고,screeing을 위하여 임 보고 되어진 hGHR fragment native sequence를 기초로 N-terminal부분의 primer를 설계하여 950bp의 probe를 얻는데 성공하였다. 이 probe를 이용하여 준비된 human liver cDNA library로부터 2.5$\times$10 6개의 plaque로부터 6개의 positive clone을 획득하였고, 이들중 poly Asignal인 "AATAAA"를 포함하고 있는 가장 긴 약 3.8kbp의 clone을 sequencing한 결과 open reading frame을 포함하고 있었으나, 5'부분의 결손되어 있었다. 그리하여 이 부분은 human breast cancer tissue로 부터 회수한 mRNA를 RT-PCR에 의하여 증폭하였고, sequencing결과 이미 보고되어진 native hGHR와 비교한 결과 하나의 nucleotide가 silent mutation으로 판명되었다.한편 human liver cDNA library로부터 cloning한 3.8cp의 positive clone의 5'end의 결손된 부분에 silent mutation된 PCR 산물을 연결함으로써 native hGHR와 유사한 cDNA hGHR subcloning에 성공하였다. 이러한 cDNA hGHR의 clone이 function을 가지고 있는지를 검토하기 위하여 eukaryotic 발현 vector인 pCXN2에 의거 ligation한 후 chinese hamster ovary cell[CHO-KI]에 transfect를 실시하였다. Dexamethasone은 첨가하지 않고 hGH만의 존재하에서 이들 cell을 배양시키고 cell menbrane에서 발현 여부를 판정키 위하여 hGHR monocloual antibody를 사용하여 flow cytometery해석을 실시하는 한편 125I-hGH binding assay에 의하여 hGH binding activity를 측정하였다. 최종적으로 GH signal transduction의 target genedf으로 알려져 있는 serine protease inhibitor 2.1(Spi 2.1) gene의 promotor activity를 검토한 결과 hGHR을 transfect한 CHO Cell에 있어서 hGH의 농도에 의존적으로 증가되었다. 따라서 본 실험에서 cloning한 cDNA hGHR는 native hGHR와 같은 기능을 가지는 것으로 판명되었다.것으로 판명되었다.

The gene encoding MPB83 from Mycobacterium bovis Vallee111 chromosomal DNA was amplified by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, and the PCR product was approximately 600bp DNA segment. Using T-A cloning technique, the PCR product was cloned into pGEM-T vector and the cloning plasmid pGEM-T-83 was constructed successfully. pGEM-T-83 and pET28a(+) were digested by BamHI and EcoRI double enzymes. The purified MPB83 gene was subcloned into the expression vector pET28a(+), and the prokaryotic expression vector pET28a-83 was constructed. Plasmid containing pET28a-83 was transformed into competence Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). The bacterium was induced by isopropyl-$\beta$-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) and its lysates were loaded directly onto sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), approximately 26 kDa exogenous protein was observed on the SDS-PAGE. The protein was analyzed using Western-blotting. The results indicated that the protein was of antigenic activity of M. bovis. The results were expected to lay foundation for further studies on the subunit vaccine and DNA vaccine of MPB83 gene in their prevention against bovine tuberculosis.

An improved procedure for preparing PCR cloning vectors was developed. This procedure includes the incorporation of adapters to create XcmI restriction enzyme sites in pBluescript II SK(+) vectors, digestion with XcmI followed by further digestion of the small fragment produced by XcmI digestion with additional enzymes, and purification with PCR purification kits. Using this procedure, PCR cloning vectors with high ligation efficiencies and low blue or false-positive colonies were obtained.

리그닌 분해에 관련된 효소 중 laccase는 구리 결합부위가, lignin peroxidase와 manganese peroxidase는 헴(heme) 결합부위의 아미노산 서열이 잘 보존된 단백질들이다. 국내에서 분리한 구름버섯(Trametes versicolor)을 대상으로 관련 유전자들의 보존된 지역의 염기서열을 근거로 중합연쇄반응(PCR)에 필요한 primer를 제작하였고, 이를 사용하여 해당 유전자의 조각을 확보하였다. 이를 pGEM-T vector에 cloning하고 그 염기서열을 분석한 결과 약 1.3 kb의 laccase조각은 다른 백색부후균의 laccase와 65～97％의 상동성을 보였다. 또한 185 bp의 lignin peroxidase 조각과 443 bp의 manganese peroxidase조각을 타 백색부후균의 효소들과 비교한 결과 각각 80～95％ 및 61～83％의 상동성을 보였다.

The transformation of Bacillus subtilis K-54 and J-10 was carried out with constructed vectors containing structure and enhancer genes of aprN and prtR, to increase their fibrinolytic enzyme activity. Bands for the aprN and prtR genes were identified from B. subtilis J-10 by PCR that was carried out with the constructed primers for the genes. In addition, the gene fragments contained promoter site based on the results of analysing their nucleotide sequence. The two gene fragments, aprN and prtR, obtained by the PCR, were, then, inserted to vector such as T-vector and E.coli/Bacillus shuttle vector. The constructed vector were designated as pAPR2 (aprN), pENC2 (prtR) and pFLA1 (aprN and prtR), respectively. The constructed vector was used for transformation of the strains of B.subtilis J-10 and B. subtilis K-54 and the fribrinolytic activity of the transformed strains was investigated. The introduction of the vector, pAPR2 and the fibrinolytic activity of the transformed strains was investigated. The introduction of the vector, pAPR2 and pFLA1, resulted in the increase of fibrinolyitic enzyme activity in B. subtilis J-10 by 27.3% and 16%, respectively. However, the introduction of pENC2 to B. subtilis J-10 did not seem to induce increase of the enzyme activity. The strain of B.subtilis K-54 transformed with pENC2 showed an increased fibrinolytic activity by 5 folds compared with that of the original strain of B. subtilis K-54.

Interferons are cytokines that confer resistance to viral infection and inhibit cellular proliferation. The interferon alpha gene from human blood samples was amplified, cloned and expressed in E. coli (BL21). Leukocyte chromosomal DNA was used as a source of template DNA. Using specific primers, the gene for HulFN$\{alpha}$-2b was amplified and inserted into the E. coli vector, pET21b, by ligation of the HindIII and BamHI linkers of the vector and insert. The insert was further analyzed by PCR, DNA restriction mapping and sequencing, and expressed in a suitable E. coli strain. The production of this important cellular protein in the laboratory has significant applications in production of the recombinant pharmaceutical proteins.

간흡충 total RNk에는 많은 량의 185 rRNA가 함유되어 있었지만 285 rRNA는 그 양이 매우 적었다. 약 $8{\;}{\mu\textrm{g}}의{\;}poly{\;}(A)^{+}$ mRNAS부터 합성된 double-stranded CDNA는 대부분이 0.4-4.2 kb 크기이었으며 9.5 kb에 달하는 것도 있었다. 이미 보고되어 있는 tropomyosin의 amino산 서열을 기준하여 5개의 degenerated oligonucleotide (sense primer 2개와 antisense primer 3개)를 합성하였다. TotalcDNA를 template로 하고 sense primer와 antisense primer를 조합하여 실시한 PCR 산물 중에서 580 bp 크기의 특이 유전자가 나타났다. 만손주혈흡충의 tropomyosin CDNA를 탐색자로 써서 Southern hybridization했을 때 이 유전자만이 검출되어서. 이 유전자는 간횹충 tropomyosin (CSTM) CDNA의 일부분일 가능성이 높다고 생각되어 sequencing vector인 POEM-3Zf(-)에 cloning한 다음 염기서열을 결정하였다. nRf 증폭된 CSTM CDNA는 크기가 575 bp이었으며 191개의 predicted amino산 서열은 한 개의 open reading frame을 갖고 있었다 CSTM CDNA의 amino산 서열은 만손주혈흡충 tropomyosln과 86.3%. Trichosoonvk: colhnfornis tropomyosin과 51.1% 의 유사성을 갖고 있었다. 이 CSTM cDNA fragment는 앞으로 간흡충 cDNA library를 screening하여 완전한 CnM CDNA를 cloning하기에 좋은 probe로 쓰일 것으로 예상된다.

Nocardioides sp. J-326TK의 adenosine deaminase gene을 분리하기 위하여 genomic DNA를 제한효소로 무작위적으로 절단하여 pBluscript KS에 ligation시켰다. 또한 hu-man과 mouse, E. cali 등의 adenosine deaminase gene의 보존적인 부위를 primer로 합성을 하여 PCR reaction을 행하였다. Genomic DNA를 cloning시킨 pKSN60은 5kb정도의 DNA를 포함하고 있으며 sourthern hybridization 등의 여러 확인 실험을 통하여 adenosine deaminase gene을 포함하고 있다는 알았다. PCR product를 cloning시켜 형성된 recombinant plasmid를 PCR reaction의 primer로서 pTBN20를 sequencing을 행하였다. 그 결과를 다른 ade-nosine deaminase gene의 서열과 비교를 하였는데 미생물인 E. coli와는 nucleotide sequence는 99.5%, amino acid sequence는 98.9%의 homology를 나타내고 human과는 각각 59.5%, 46.8%의 homolosy를 나타내었다.
