Shigella sonnei 는 인체의 장내 감염을 일으키는 병원균의 일종이며, 본 연구에 사용된 S.sonnei KNIH104S는 국내에서 쉬겔라증을 나타내는 환자로부터 분리하였다. S. sonnei KNIH104s의 염색체로부터 aspartate $\beta$-semial-dehyde dehydrogenase를 암호화하는 asd 유전자를 포함하는 1.7 kb BamHI 절편을 pBluescript SK(+) 벡터를 이용하여 클로닝하였으며 pSAB17이라 명명하였다. asd 결실돌연변이주인 E.coli $\chi$6097은 세포벽을 구성하는 중요한 성분인 DL-$\alpha$, $\varepsilon$-diaminopimelic acid가 없는 Luria-Bertani 배지에서 생장함을 확인하였다. 클로닝된 asd 유전자의 염기서열 분석결과 ATG 개시코돈 및 TAA 종결코돈을 지니는 1,104 bp 로 이루어져 있으며, 여기서 유추한 아미노산은 367개로 분자량 40.0 kDa 의 폴리펩타이드를 만들어내고 있다. 염기서열은 대장균의 asd 유전자와 한 부위에서 다르게 나타났지만 아미노산의 서열은 동일함을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 pBluescript SK(+) 벡터와 본 연구에서 클로닝된 asd 유전자를 이용하여 balanced-lethal vector인 pSKA47 및 pSKA47A를 제조하였다.

Shigella sonnei is an important cause of human enteric infections. S. sonnei KNIH104S was previously reported to be isolated from Korean shigellosis patients. We cloned a 2.8-kb KpnI fragment containing the recA gene encoding a recombinase from the chromosomal DNA of S. sonnei KNIH104S. This recombinant plasmid was named pRAK28. E. coli HB101, a recA mutant, cannot grow on Luria-Bertani medium in the presence of the alkylating agent methylmethane sulfonate, however, E. coli HB101 harboring pRAK28 was found to grow on this medium. As far as we know, we are the first to sequence the recA gene from S. sonnei. This gene is composed of 1062 base pairs with an ATG initiation codon and a TAA termination codon. Nucleotide sequence comparison of the S. sonnei recA gene exhibited 99.7% and 99.5% identity with those of S. flexneri and E. coli, respectively.

Diarrheal diseases are a major cause of both illness and death in developing countries and are caused by rotavirus, Shigella spp., Salmonella spp., enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), and Vibrio spp. In this study, for the development of vaccine against diarrheal diseases caused by Shigella sonei, Salmonella typhimurium, E. coli O157, and Vibrio cholerae, cloning and nucleotide sequence analysis of genes and characteristics of their gene products in E. coli were performed. For construction of attenuated strain of S. sonnei KNIH104 and Salmonella typhimurium KNIH100, the aroA genes were cloned, respectively. The recombinant plasmid $_pJP{\Delta}A45$ containing aroA deleted region and suicide vector $(_pJP5603)$ was constructed. The aroA gene deleted mutants were constructed using this recombinant plasmid. For cloning gene encoding antigenic region of E. coli O157 KNIH317, the O-antigen synthesis gene cluster and sit gene was cloned. The E. coli XL1-Blue cells harboring this recombinant plasmid showed cytotoxicity in Vero cells. The ctx gene was cloned for tile purpose of antigenic region against V. cholerae KNIH002. Sequence analysis confirmed that the virulence gene cassette was consisted of ace, zot, ctxA and ctxB genes.
