방선균에 존재하는 단백질 타이로신 포스파타아제의 기능을 알아보기 위하여 우선 이 유전자를 대장균에 클로닝하여 대량으로 발현시킨 결과, 발현된 단백질은 soluble형태로 존재하여 자신의 효소활성을 가지고 있었으나, 효소활성부위에 대한 변이주의 경우에는 기질과 결합은 하였으나 활성이 없는 것으로 나타났었다. 방선균에서 이 효소의 세포내 기작 및 결합 단백질을 파악하기 위해 대장균에 클로닝한 유전자를 방선균 발현벡터(pIJ6021)에 클로닝을 하였다. 이렇게 만든 유전자를 in-ducer인 thiostrepton을 이용하여 발현시킨 결과, 활성형의 단백질 타이로신 포스파타아제가 대량으로 생산되었다. 그리고 이들 유전자를 방선균에서 과잉 발현시킨 결과 항생제 생산 및 형태 변화 등의 표현형은 나타나지 않았다. 이효소와 반응하는 기질 및 결합 단백질을 찾기 위해서 이들과 결합은 하지만 반응하지 않는 돌연변이 단백질 타이로신 포스파타아제 (PtpA(C9S))를 유전자 조작하여 방선균에서 과잉 발현시켰다 그 결과 표현형은 없었지만 인산 타이로신 단백질의 패턴변화를 알 수 있었고, 단백질 타이로신 포스파타아제에 의하여 인산화 조절되는 단백질 3개 찾을 수 있었다. 이들 세 단백질(p65, p90 그리고 p200)은 ptpA(C9S)가 발현된 방선균에서 보다 더 많은 인산화 패턴을 나타내었으며, 이들은 가능한 단백질 타이로신 포스파타아제의 표적이라고 생각되었다. 만약 이들의 구조가 밝혀진다면, 방선균의 타이로신 포스파타아제의 기능 및 신호전달 과정의 역할을 파악할 수 있으리라 생각된다.

streptomyces coelicolor A3(2)의 acetyl xylan esterase 유전자를 Escherichia coli께 클로닝하여 그 발현양상을 조사하였다. 이를 위하여 유전자 전체 DNA를 PCR증폭을 통하여 제조하였다. PCR산물의 염기서열을 분석한 결과 1,008개의 nucleotide로 구성된 하나의 open reading frame이 존재함을 확인하였고, 이것은 335개의 아미노산으로 이루어진 약 38 kDa의 단백질을 생성할 것으로 예측할 수 있었다. 이 유전자의 염기 서열은 streptomyces lividans의 acetyl xylan esterase와 98%의 상동성을 가졌다. 그런데 Escherichia coli (pLacl)에서 IPTG유도에 의해 두가지의 acetyl xylan esterase가 발현되었으며 각각의 분자량은 38 kDa과 34 kDa이었다. 이중에서 38 kDa의 단백질은 N-말단의 signal peptide를 포함한 전체 단백질이고,34 kDa의 단백질은 41번과 42번의 두 알라닌 잔기사이의 펩티드 결합이 끊어져 생산된 것으로 추정되었다.

The aklavinone 11-hydroxylase which was overexpressed using T7 promoter in E. coli could be detected in SDS-PAGE only in insoluble precipitate without any detectable enzyme activity. The insoluble enzyme was solubilized in 6M guanidine$.$HCl solution and their refolding ability was tested under various conditions. When the enzymatic activity was checked by the bioconversion experiment, stepwise dialysis against 6M, 3M, 1M guanidine$.$HCl and finally 100 mM potassium phosphate buffer of the solubilized protein gave the best bioconversion efficiency. The aklavinone 11-hydroxylase showed its enzymatic activity in the reaction buffer containing NADPH with vigorous shaking. The enzymatic activity was lost during partial purification and regained by the addition of crude extract of S. lividans in the reaction mixture. This effect was confirmed to due to some low-molecular weight component(s) in the crude extract, because the addition of dialyzed crude extract could not recover the enzymatic activity.

The pseudodisaccharide salbostatin, which consists of valienamine linked to 2-amino-1,5-anhydro-2-deoxyglucitol, is a strong trehalase inhibitor. From our Streptomyces albus ATCC 21838 genomic library, we identified thirty-two ORFs in a 37-kb gene cluster. Twenty-one genes are supposed to be a complete set of modules responsible for the salbostatin biosynthesis. Through sequence analysis of the gene cluster, some of the upstream gene products (SalB, SalC, SalD, SalE, and SalF) revealed functional resemblance with trehalose biosynthetic enzymes. On the basis of this rationale, we isolated the five genes (salB, salC, salD, salE, and salF) from the S. albus ATCC 21838 and cloned them into the expression vector pWHM3. We demonstrated the noticeable expression and accumulation of trehalose, using only the five upstream biosynthetic gene cluster of salbostatin, in the transformed Streptomyces lividans TK24. Finally, 490 mg/l trehalose was produced by fermentation of the transformant with sucrosedepleted R2YE media.

Bacterial bioluminescence has been known to be a highly valuable reporter system for its potential application as an effective and simple environmental monitoring method for toxic compounds. In this short report, we constructed a streptomycetes-Escherichia coli shuttle vector-containing bioluminescence system and evaluated its potential application for toxic compounds monitoring. The luxAB biolurninescence genes from Vibrio harveyi were cloned into a streptornycetes-E. coli shuttle vector (named pESK004) and functionally expressed in Streptomyces lividans. The recombinant S. lividans containing pESK004 exhibited an optimal biolurninescence at the optical density ($OD_{600\;nm}$) of 0.4-0.5 and aldehyde concentration of 0.005%. When the recombinant bioluminescence streptomycetes was exposed to a toxic compound such as heavy metals, chlorinated phenols, or pesticides, the bioluminescence was decreased proportionally to the concentration of toxic compound in the assay mixture. The $EC_{50}$ (effective concentration to decrease 50% of the bioluminescence prior to exposure) values in the recombinant biolurninescence streptomycetes for mercury, 2,4-dichlorophenol, and malathion were measured at 2.2 ppm, 144.0 ppm, and 82.4 ppm, respectively. The degree of sensitivity and specificity pattern toward these toxic compounds characterized in this recombinant bioluminescence streptomycetes were unique when compared with previously reported bacterial bioluminescence systems, and this revealed that a recombinant bioluminescence streptomycetes might provide an alternative or complementary system for potential environmental monitoring.

In order to obtain acetaminophen, a popular analgesic-antipyretic, through microbial p-hydroxylation and N-acetylation of aniline, various fungi and bacteria were secreened. Among them, Streptomyces species were chosen for strain improvement by the use of interspecific protoplast fusion technique. Two interspecific fused strains were developed between S. rimosus (N-cetylation function) and S. aureofaciens (p-hydroxylation function) and also between S. lividans and S. globisporus. For efficient protoplast fusion and cell wall regeneration, various conditions were examined. In a typical experiment of mixed S rimosus ($pro^- \;his^-$) and S. aureofaciens ($ilv^-$) protoplasts with 40% (w/v) polythylene glycol 3350 (PEG) for 3 min gave $8.3\times10^{-7}$ of fusion frequency. Treatment of mixed S. lividans (pant-) and S. globisporus (leu-) protoplasts with 50% (w/v) PEG for 3 min at $30^\circ{C}$ gave $1.2\times10^{-6}$ of frequency. Among the fused strains, up to 40-50% increase in p-hydroxylation power was observed. To investigate the possibility of plasmid involvement in p-hydroxylation power was observed. To investigate the possibility of plasmid involvement in p-hydroxylation of acetanilide, plasmid curing was attempted. We found that cells treated with acriflavine (at the frequency of 100%) and cells regenerated from protoplsts of S. auroefaciens (2% frequency) lost their p-hydroxylation function.

The chromosomal sprD gene encoding Streptomyces griseus protease D (SGPD), a chymotrypsin-like protease, was disrupted in Streptomyces griseus by insertion of the neomysin-resistance gene. The production of chymotrypsin activity of sprD disruptant was not completely abolished, but delayed by 24 h, compared with that of wild-type strain. The aerial mycelial formation of sprD disruptant was retarded, and specifically the formation of spores was not observed in the central region of colonies. However, normal morphological development into spores was observed in the marginal region of colonies. In addition, the production of yellow pigment that might be dependent on A-factor was also decreased in the sprD disruptant, compared with that of the wild-type strain. Introduction of the sprD gene, which was placed on a high copy-numbered plasmid into S. griseus ${\Delta}sprD$, partially restored the ability of morphological development, and a significant level of sporulation was observed. When the overexpression vector for sprD, pWHM3-D, was introduced in S. griseus, there was no significant change in the chymotrypsin activity or colonial morphology, in contrast to Streptomyces lividans, indicating the presence of a tight regulation system for the overexpression of the sprD gene in S. griseus.

For microbial production of acetaminophen, a popular analgesic-antipyretic from aniline, we screened various fungi and bacteria. And we succeeded to some extents in acetaminophen production by successful protoplast fusion between S. lividans and S. globisporus and also between S. rimosus and S. aureofaciens. However, more fertile results might be brought via performing the cloning of acetanilide p-hydroxylation genes of Streptomyces in yeast. This study was initiated to determine whether the acetanilide p-hydroxylase of Streptomyces is cytochrome P-450 species or non-heme iron protein species. The p-hydroxylationactivity on acetanilide in S. aureofaciens ATCC 10762 was found to be unstable on exposing to the air. However, 100,000xg supernatant of the cell free extracts which were prepared in $N_2$ atmosphere showed the p-hydroxylation activity. Characteristic absorption peak of cytochrome P-450 after reduction with dithionite and addition of CO was not observed in the region of 450nm. Moreover, metyrapone and 2, 6-dichloroindophenol did not affect this enzyme activity, but sodium azide, sodium cyanide, cupric sulfate, cadmium chloride, ${\alpha}$, ${\alpha}'-dipyridyl$, and o-phenanthroline reduced p-hydroxylase activity considerably. S. fradiae NRRL 2702 was shown to have strong p-hydroxylation activity in intact cells. This activity disappeared in its cell free extracts. In its 100,000xg supernatant, however, characteristic absorption peak of cytochrome P-450 after reduction with dithionite and addition of CO was observed at 446nm. Thus, the results herein presented suggest that acetanilide p-hydroxylase of Streptomyces aureofaciens is not related to cytochrome P-450 and may include non-heme iron protein for its activity. However, it is not clear whether acetanilide p-hydroxylase in S. fradiae belongs to the same category of S. aureofaciens.

The SCO0284 gene of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) is predicted to encode an α-galactosidase (680 amino acids) belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 27. In this study, the SCO0284 coding region was cloned and overexpressed in Streptomyces lividans TK24. The mature form of SCO0284 (641 amino acids, 68 kDa) was purified from culture broth by gel filtration chromatography, with 83.3-fold purification and a yield of 11.2%. Purified SCO0284 showed strong activity against p-nitrophenyl-α-D-galactopyranoside, melibiose, raffinose, and stachyose, and no activity toward lactose, agar (galactan), and neoagarooligosaccharides, indicating that it is an α-galactosidase. Optimal enzyme activity was observed at 40℃ and pH 7.0. The addition of metal ions or EDTA did not affect the enzyme activity, indicating that no metal cofactor is required. The kinetic parameters V_max and K_m for p-nitrophenyl-α-D-galactopyranoside were 1.6 mg/ml (0.0053 M) and 71.4 U/mg, respectively. Thin-layer chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis of the hydrolyzed products of melibiose, raffinose, and stachyose showed perfect matches with the masses of the sodium adducts of the hydrolyzed products, galactose (M+Na, 203), melibiose (M+Na, 365), and raffinose (M+Na, 527), respectively, indicating that it specifically cleaves the α-1,6-glycosidic bond of the substrate, releasing the terminal D-galactose.

방선균은 토양 속에 다양하게 존재하는 미생물의 일종으로 그람 양성 진정세균으로 이차대사산물을 생산하는 시기와 포자 착생이 시작되는 세포분화의 시기가 밀접한 관련이 있다. S. griseus는 streptomycin을 비롯한 다양한 종류의 endopeptidase 및 exopeptidase들을 생산한다. 방선균에서의 protease 생산은 많은 경우에 이차대사산물이 형성되거나 형태분화가 유도되는 시기에 동시에 시작된다는 점에서 Pretense가 이차대사물질 생산 및 세포분화에 일정한 기능을 수행할 것이 라는 점을 시사하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 S. griseus IFO 13350에서 클로닝한 SGPD protease가 각 strain에서 형태학적으로나 생리적으로 어떠한 gene dosage 효과를 미치는지 조사하는 것이었다. sprD 유전자가 S.lividans를 숙주로 사용한 시스템에서 대량발현이 성공적으로 되는 것을 확인한 후, 본 유전자를 클로닝한 S. griseus IFO13350 균주와 이의 A-factor 결손주인 S. griseus HH1에 형질전환하였다. S. griseus HH1과 S. griseus IFO13350에서는 protease activity가 벡터만 도입된 대조군과 sprD 유전자가 들어간 형질전환체에서 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 또한 S. griseus IFO 13350 및 HH1 모두에서 생리학적·형태학적 분화의 차이를 발견하지 못하였다. Chymotrypsin계열의 pretense를 암호화하는 유전자만이 S. griseus에서 발현이 repression된다는 사실을 본 연구 결과를 통하여 알게 되었다. 이를 바탕으로 sprD유전자와 동일계열의 chymotrypsin 계열의 유전자들이 공통적으로 S. griseus에서 repression 되는 일반적인 기전이 있을 것으로 판단, chymotrypsin계열 유전자들의 promoter부분의 염기 상동성을 조사하였다 번역개시부위 바로 상부 유전자부터 상동성을 조사한 결과 적어도 상당부분의 염기배열이 잘 보존된 지역이 존재함을 알게 되었다. 향후 이들 발현기구의 조절기구를 연구함으로서 protease의 기능을 밝히는데 좋은 단서를 제공할 것으로 판단된다.
