인체 혈액 응고 9인자는 간에서 생성되며 461개의 아미노산으로 구성된 당 단백질이다. 따라서 인체 혈액 응고 9인자 cDNA를 찾기 위해 태아의 간(fetal liver) cDNA library를 PCR(Polymerase Chain reaction) 방법으로 screening하였으며, 그 결과 ATG개시 코돈으로부터 TAA종료 코돈까지 포함하는 1.4 kb의 9인자 cDNA를 찾았다. 또한 클론된 9인자 cDNA를 박테리아에서 발현시키기 위해 박테리아 발현 벡터인 pGEX-2T 플라스미드에 클로닝하므로써 pGEX-F9 플라스미드를 제조하였다. pGEX-F9로 형질전환된 E. coli에서 PGEX-F9의 발현을 유도하면 73 kDa 크기의 GST-factor9 융합 단백질이 다량생성되며 , 이 단백질이 혈액 응고 9인자 단백질을 함유하는 융합 단잭질임을 혈액 응고 9인자 항체를 이용한 Western blot으로 입증하였다. E. coli에서 발현된 GST-factor 9 융합 단백질은 전체 단백질의 약 20%를 차지하며 GST agarose bead를 이용한 one step purificarion 방법을 통해 GST-factor9 융합 단백질을 쉽게 분리 할 수 있다.

Nucleocapsid protein (NP)which exists in the particle of hantavirus and surrounds the viral RNA genome is one of the major structural proteins and plays role of antigen to elicit the antibody detected predorminantly right after infection of the virus in the patients of hemorragic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS)or experimental animals. NP is important target antigen in serological diagnostic system of HFRS utilizing whole antigens from the native virus particle, such as IFA, ELISA and Western blotting. Therefore, the preparation of this protein in the level of higher quantity and purity is desirasble for developed dianosis of the disease. The purpose of this study is the cloning of NP gene which exists in the S genome segment of Maaji (MAA) virus and expression of the gene to obtain qualified, genetically engineered NP to be utilized as an immunodiagnostic antigen. First of all, for the purpose of amplifing the MAA-NP gene by PCR, the specific primers were built from the known nucleotide sequence of Hantaan viral NP gene. The viral cDNA of the NP gene was synthesized by using the primers and RNase $H^-$ AMV reverse transcriptase. Thereafter, using this cDNA as a template, the NP gene was amplified specifically by Taq DNA polymrerase. The pT7blue (R)T-overhang vector systems were used for cloning of the amplified NP gene. The expression system was consisted of BL21 (DE3)pLysS and pET16b as a host and a plasmid repectively. Into Ndel site of pET16b, NP gene was ligated with cohesive end for the expression. Insertion of NP gene in the plasmid was confirmed by PCR and mini prep methods. For expression, IPTG was used and the expressed protein was characterized by Western blotting. The MAA-NP was expressed as the form of inclusion body (insoluble fraction)and the protein purified by affinity and metal chealating columns reacted specifically with the sera from patients of HFRS as to be tested by ELISA and Western blotting.

The gene encoding the HN protein from the CBP-1 strain, a heat stable Newcastle disease virus (NDV) isolated from diseased pheasants in Korea, was characterized by reverse transcriptase- polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and the nucleotide and amino acid sequences were analyzed following cloning of the HN gene. In all of the NDV strains studied, a 1.75 kb size cDNA fragment for the HN gene was generated by RT-PCR and smaller specific band sizes harboring the internal portions of the HN gene were also detected by using four pairs of primers. The RT-PCR was sensitive enough to detect viral transcripts when the virus titer was above 25 hemagglutination units. The amplified 1.75 kb cDNA was cloned into a BamHI site of the pVL1393 Baculo transfer vector. The nucleotide sequences of the 1,758 bp HN gene from the CBP-1 strain were determined by the dye terminator cyclic sequencing method. The gene sequences were compared among the strains of CBP-1, Texas GB, Beaudette C, LaSota, B1 and Ulster. The homology of the CBP-1 HN gene to other HN variants was 97.8% to Texas GB, 98.4% to Beaudette C, 95.4% to LaSota, 95.6% to B1 and 90.2% to Ulster. As the deduced 577 amino acid sequences were compared among the strains, the homology for CBP-1 HN appeared to be 96.7% to Texas GB, 97.9% to Beaudette C, 95.5% to LaSota, 95.5% to B1 and 92.7% to Ulster. It was evident that the amino acid sequences included 5 sites for N-asparagine linked glycosylation and 12 cysteine residues. The three conserved leucine residues within the predicted transmembrane domain of the HN protein are amino acid 30, 37 and 44. The three antigenic sites on the HN protein of NDV are amino acids 347(Glu), 481(Asn) and 495(Glu). These data indicate that the genotype of the CBP-1 strain is more closely associated with the strains of Texas GB and Beaudette C than it is for the LaSota, B1 and Ulster strains.

S-Adenosyl-L-Methionine(SAM) has an important role for DNA methylation and cell signaling. SAM was synthesized from methionine and ATP by SAM synthetase and play an pivotal function in the primary and secondary metabolism of cells. Recent studies have revealed in the effect of SAM in case of morphological differentiation in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. We isolated SAM gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and cloned it into expression vector for E. coli respectively. An 1.15 kb SAM-s gene fragment was isolated by Low-strigency PCR using ORF primer. By the analysed primary sequence deduced from DNA sequence, this gene included conserved domains similar with other well-known SAM synthetase. First of all, SAM synthetase gene cloned pGEM-T vector and subcloned into histidine tagging system to purify the expressed protein using metal chelating resin. Typical characteristic analysis of this enzyme is underway.

A marine aerobic Gram-negative bacterium, Pseudoalteromonas carrageenovora, has been blown to hydrolyze carrageenans, the sulfated galactans of red algae, and to desulfate oligo kappa-carrageenans. Recently, the gene encoding arylsulfatase (aryl-sulfate sulfohydrolase, E.C.3.1.6.1) of A. carrageenovora was cloned and the nucleotide sequence was reported. Enzymatic hydrolysis of sulfate groups in agaropectin simplifies the process of agarose preparation. In order to overproduce the enzyme, the arylsulfatase gene (astA, 984 bp ORF) from P. carrageenovora genome was amplified by PCR and subcloned into the pET21a vector. When the constructed plasmid pAST-A1 was introduced into E, coli BL21(DE3), the transformant on LB plate containing IPTG showed the hydrolyzing activity for p-nitrophenyl sulfate. Most of arylsulfatase activity was found in the cell lysate, but at $50\;{\sim}\;5000\;{\mu}M$ IPTG concentration the activity was found both in the culture supernatant and the cell lysate. The molecular weight of the recombinant enzyme was estimated to be 34 kDa by SDS-PAGE.

4-Aminobutyrate aminotransferase plays an essential role in the 4-aminobutyric acid shunt, converting 4-aminobutyrate to succinic semi aldehyde. We isolated and sequenced' a fish cDNA fragment that encodes 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase. A brain cDNA library from flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) was constructed using the ZAP- III XR vector and screened for the fish 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase gene using a probe derived from the conserved sequences of known mammalian 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferases. A partial cDNA for 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase was cloned and found to be 700 bp in length corresponding to 66 amino acids. Nucleotide sequence of the clone was aligned with NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) DNA sequence data base. The result showed high sequence identity with previously reported mammalian 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferases. The trans­criptional level of flounder 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase was detected with the presence of mRNA at different flounder tissues by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The expression of flounder 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase was also tested and detected from the flounder tissues of the brain, liver, kidney and pancreas.

Three chitinase genes (chiA, chiB, and chiC) were cloned into E. coli by PCR amplification from Serratia marcescens KFRI314. The sizes of cloned chitinase genes were 1692 bp, 1500 bp, and 1443 bp which correspond to 563, 499, and 480 amino acids, respectively. Recombinant chitinases were overexpressed using pHCEIA expression vector and purified to homogenity. The molecular weights of chitinases were about 60kDa, 50 kDa, 52 kDa, respectively. Optimum pHs were around pH 5~6 and optimum temperatures were $45{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ while 90% of enzyme activities were stable up to $50^{\circ}C$. The specific activities of ChiA, ChiB, and ChiC were 233.1, 278.8, $111.3{\mu}mol\;(min)^{-1}\;mg^{-1}$ against colloidal chitin. From experiments using TLC and fluorescent substrate analogues, it was demonstrated that ChiA was endo-chitinase while ChiB and ChiC were chitobiosidase.
