Edema factor(EF) is a portion of anthrax toxin which produces edema when combined with protective antigen. This paper describes about technique for cloning, expression, purification and activity test of EF. Using the E. coli expression system, we could make recombinant EF protein although it's origin is Bacillus anthracis. And also we could culture massively and purify highly pure protein. Finally we confirm a enzyme activity of purified EF to increase intracellular cAMP level. Through establishing this technique, it can be possible to research about EF in depth and apply to expression and purification of many other protein in biology.

Soybean protein consists of two major components $\beta$-conglycinin and glycinin which together consti-tute 70% of the total seed storage protein at maturity. $\beta$-Conglycinin is trimeric glycoprotein and for-med by the assembly of various combinations of three subunits $\alpha$,$\alpha$' and $\beta$ which have molecular weig-hts of 69,000, 72,000 and 42,000, respectively. Recently $\beta$-conglycinin was identified as powerful LDL lip-oprotein receptor activation hypercholesterolemia and major allergenic proteins. To investigate these reasons we constructed an expression system of cDNA encoding $\alpha$-subunit of $\beta$-conglycinin in Escherichia coli and purified the expressed protein. The pro-$\beta$-conglycinin synthesized in Escherichia coli BL 21 (DE3)comprised approximately 15% of the total bacterial proteins and the expressed protein are formed sol-uble and trimer such as native protein in Escherichia coli cells. The highly expressed protein was purified to homogeneity by salt precipitation with 20~40 % ammonium sulfate ion-exchange chromatography with Q-sepharose and hydrophobic column chromatography with Butyltoyopearl.

We purified a protein carboxyl O-methyltransferase (protein methylase II) from porcine spleen to homogeneity. The molecular weight of the porcine spleen protein methylase II (ps-PM II) was estimated to be 27,500 daltons on SDS-PAGE. Amino acid sequence of N-terminal 28 residues for ps-PM II was identified. Amino-terminal three amino acid residues of ps-PM II were deleted when compared to those of other protein carboxyl methytransferase. S-Adenosyl-L-homocysteine competitively inhibits ps-PM II with a K, value of $1.63{\times}10^{-7}M$. Myelin basic protein exhibited the highest methyl-accepting capacity among the proteins tested.

국내산 Brassica napus, var. Youngsan종 유채단백질의 추출용매 및 공정차이에 따른 이화학적 성질 및 기능성에 대하여 조사하였다. 각 공정별로 얻어진 유채단백질은 정제가 잘 될수록 황색도와 표면소수성이 개선되었다. SDS-PAGE 분석결과 9개의 band가 나타났으며 상당부분이 $1.96~1.59{\times}10^4$ dalton 분자량으로 구성되었고, EDTA 혼합용매로 추출한 경우 저분자량 band가 거의 나타나지 않았다. 아미노산 함량은 정제에 따라 약간씩 높았으나 EDTA 혼합용매로 추출한 단백질에서는 전체적으로 상당히 낮았다. EDTA 혼합용매로 추출한 단백질에서의 용해도가 1% SHMP로 추출한 단백질과 매우 다르게 나타났으며, 동점도는 정제가 잘 될수록 낮은 값이었다. 수분 흡수력과 거품성은 큰 차이가 없었으며, 유흡수력과 에멀젼 활성도는 대조구 보다 약간씩 증가하였으며 대조구에 비하여 다른 모든 처리구의 칼슘에 대한 반응성이 민감하였다. 열응고성은 EDTA 처리구만 높았고 나머지 모든 처리구에서는 상당히 낮은 값으로서 열안정성이 높게 나타났다.

Syndecan-4 is a transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan, which is a coreceptor with integrins in cell adhesion. To get better understand the mechanism and function of Syndecan-4, it is critical to elucidate the three-dimensional structure of a single transmembrane spanning region of them. Unfortunately, it is hard to prepare the peptide because syndecan-4 is membrane-bound protein that transverse the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane. Generally, the preparation of transmembrane peptide sample is seriously difficult and time-consuming. In fact, high yield production of transmembrane peptides has been limited by experimental adversities of insufficient yields and low solubility of peptide. Here, we demonstrate experimental processes and results to optimize expression, purification, and NMR measurement condition of Syndecan-4 transmembrane peptide.

Cop protein has been overexpressed in Escherichia coli using a T7 RNA polymerase system. Purification to apparent homogeneity was achieved by the sequential chromatography on ion exchange, affinity chromatography, and reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography system. The molecular weight of the purified Cop was estimated as 6.1 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). But the molecular mass of the native state Cop was shown to be 19 kDa by an analytical high performance size exclusion chromatography, suggesting a trimer-like structure in 50 mM Tris-HCI buffer (pH 7.5) containing 100 mM NaCl. Cop protein Was calculated to contain $39.1% {\alpha}-helix, 16.8% {\beta}-sheet$, 17.4% turn, and 26.8% random structure. The DNA binding property of Cop protein expressed in E. coli Was preserved during the expression and purification process. The isoelectric point of Cop was determined to be 9.0. The results of amino acid composition analysis and N-terminal amino acid sequencing of Cop showed that it has the same amino acid composition and N-terminal amino acid sequence as those deduced from its DNA sequence analysis, except for the partial removal of N-terminal methionine residue by methionyl-aminopeptidase in E. coli.

Cold shock proteins (Csps) are a subgroup of the cold-induced proteins on reduction of the growth temperature below the physiological temperature. They preferentially bind to single-stranded nucleic acids to translational regulation via RNA chaperoning. Csp plays important role in cold adaptations for the psychrophilic microorganism. Recently, Cold shock protein from psychrophilic bacteria, Colwellia psychrerythraea (CpCsp) has been identified. Three dimensional structures of a number of Csps from various microorganisms have been solved by NMR spectroscopy or X-ray crystallography, but structures of psychrophilic Csps were not studied yet. Therefore, cloning and purification protocols for further structural study of psychrophilic Csp have been optimized in this study. CpCsp was expressed in E. coli with pET-11a vector system and purified by ion exchange, size exclusion, and reverse phase chromatography. Expression and purification of CpCsp in M9 minimal media was carried out and $^{15}N$-labeled proteins with high purity over 90% was obtained. Further study will be carried out to investigate the tertiary structure and dynamics of CpCsp.

Bifidobacterium longum KACC 91563 secretes family 5 extracellular solute-binding protein via extracellular vesicle. In our previous work, it was demonstrated that the protein effectively alleviated food allergy symptoms via mast cell specific apoptosis, and it has revealed a therapeutic potential of this protein in allergy treatment. In the present study, we cloned the gene encoding extracellular solute-binding protein of the strain into the histidine-tagged pET-28a(+) vector and transformed the resulting plasmid into the Escherichia coli strain BL21 (DE3). The histidine-tagged extracellular solute-binding protein expressed in the transformed cells was purified using Ni-NTA affinity column. To enhance the efficiency of the protein purification, three parameters were optimized; the host bacterial strain, the culturing and induction temperature, and the purification protocol. After the process, two liters of transformed culture produced 7.15 mg of the recombinant proteins. This is the first study describing the production of extracellular solute-binding protein of probiotic bacteria. Establishment of large-scale production strategy for the protein will further contribute to the development of functional foods and potential alternative treatments for allergies.

Mussel adhesive protein (MAP) was extracted from Korean Mytilus edulis and then partially purified using Sephacryl S-300 gel permeation chromatography and reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography. As an indicator of adhesiveness, is 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) content was determined. Its DOPA/protein ratio of 0.19 was higher than those of other reports, indicating a good adhesive. The partially purified MAP was confirmed by acid-urea polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis using cetylpiridinium bromide as a cationic detergent. Sea mussel hydrolysates were prepared using three commercial proteases to provide value-added functional materials and their angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities were determined. Among hydrolysates of sea mussel, Protamex was the best and further purification would improved ACE inhibitory activity.
