  • Human heavy chain (H-) and light chain (L-) ferritins were amplified from a human cDNA library. Each ferritin gene was inserted downstream of the T7 promoter of bacterial expression vectors, and two types of coexpression vectors were constructed. The expression levels of recombinant ferritins ranged about 26-36% of whole-cell protein. H-ferritin exhibited a lower expression ratio compared with L-ferritin, by a coexpression system. However, the coexpression of HL-ferritins was significantly increased above the expression ratio of H-ferritin by cultivation without IPTG induction overnight. Purified recombinant H-, L-, HL-, and LH-ferritins were shown to be homo- and heteropolymeric high molecular complexes and it was indicated that their assembled subunits would be able to work functionally in the cell. Thus, these results indicate an improvement in the expression strategy of H-ferritin for heteropolymeric production and studies of ferritin assembly in Escherichia coli.

  • Molecular chaperones prevent the misfolding of newly synthesized polypeptides in the cell. The coexpression of molecular chaperones could be expected to improve the production of soluble and active recombinant proteins. In this study, the effect of coexpression of E. coli GroEL/ES chaperone on the active production of Bacillus macerans cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) in E. coli was investigated. Two plasmids, pTCGT1 and pGro7 in which the cgt and the groEL/ES genes are under the control of 77 promoter and araB promoter, respectively, were co-transformed into E. coli. With a series of cultures of recombinant E. coli cells, the optimal concentrations of IPTG and L-arabinose were found be 1 mM and 0.3 mg/$m\ell$, respectively. When IPTG and L-arabinose were added at 0.8~1.0 $OD_{600}$ and 0.4~0.5 $OD_{600}$, active CGTase production was increased significantly. This coexpression condition resulted in 1.5-fold increased level of soluble CGTase (0.7~0.73 unit/$m\ell$), compared to the level of CGTase in the single expression (0.36~0.56 unit/$m\ell$). An SDS-PACE analysis revealed that about 33.6% of CGTase in the total CGTase protein was found in the soluble fraction by coexpression of GroEL/ES chaperone.

  • When the alginate lyase gene (aly) from Pseudoalteromonas elyakovii IAM 14594 was expressed in E. coli, most of the gene product expressed was produced as aggregated insoluble particles known as inclusion bodies. In order to produce with an elevated level of a soluble and active form of alginate lyase in E. coli, the hyperthermophilic chaperonins (ApCpnA and ApCpnB) from archaeon Aeropyrum pernix K1 were employed as the coexpression partners. At $25^{\circ}C$ culture temperature, the level of alginate lyase activity was increased from 10.1 unit/g-soluble protein in aly single expression to 83.1 unit/g-soluble protein by coexpressing with ApCpnA and to 100.3 unit/g-soluble protein by coexpressing with ApCpnB. This results indicate that the coexpression of aly with ApCpnA and ApCpnB revealed a marked enhancement, about 8~10 fold, in the production of alginate lyase as a soluble and active form. Based on the results of various examinations on the expression variables, the optimal conditions for the maximal production of alginate lyase were determined as 1.0 mM IPTG for the inducer concentration, $25^{\circ}C$ for the culture temperature after IPTG induction, and ApCpnB for the coexpression partner. The coexpression set in the present report may be useful in the industrial production of functionally or medically important recombinant proteins in E. coli.

  • Gene set analysis utilizing biologic information is expected to produce more interpretable results because the occurrence of tumors (or diseases) is believed to be associated with the regulation of related genes. Many methods have been developed to identify statistically significant gene sets across different phenotypes; however, most focus exclusively on either the differential gene expression or the differential correlation structure in the gene set. This research provides a new method that simultaneously considers the differential expression of genes and differential coexpression with multiple genes in the gene set. Application of this NEW method is illustrated with real microarray data example, p53; subsequently, a simulation study compares its type I error rate and power with GSEA, SAMGS, GSCA and GSNCA.

  • When the alginate lyase gene (aly) from Pseudoalteromonas elyakovii was expressed in E. coli, most of the gene product was organized as aggregated insoluble particles known as inclusion bodies. To examine the effects of chaperones on soluble and nonaggregated form of alginate lyase in E. coli, we constructed plasm ids designed to permit the coexpression of aly and the DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE or GroEL/ES chaperones. The results indicate that coexpression of aly with the DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE chaperone together had a marked effect on the yield alginate lyase as a soluble and active form of the enzyme. It is speculated this result occurs through facilitation of the correct folding of the protein. The optimal concentration of L-arabinose required for the induction of the DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE chaperone was found to be 0.05mg/mL. An analysis of the protein bands on SDS-PAGE gel indicated that at least 37% of total alginate lyase was produced in the soluble fraction when the DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE chaperone was coexpressed.

  • $\beta$-Glucosidaes from Cellvibrio gilvus(CG) was successfully overproduced in soluble form in E. coli with the coexpression of GroEL/ES/. Without the GroEL/ES protein, the $\beta$-glucosidase overexpressed in E. coli constituted a huge amount(80%) of total cellular protein, but was localized in the insoluble fraction, and little activity was detected in the soluble fraction. Coexpression of the E. coli GroEL/ES had a drastic impact on the proper folding of the $\beta$-glucosidase; 20% of the overexpressed enzyme was recovered in the soluble fraction in active form. Similar effects of GroEL/ES were also observed on the overexpressed $\beta$-glucosidase from Agrobacterium tumefaciens(AT). And pET28(a)-RGRAR, partially deleted mutant lacking 5-amino acid residues at carboxy teminus also could be folded into an active form when expressed with the molecular chaperonin GroEL/ES, and its activity was higher than that of the without GroEL/ES system, In addition, the synergistic effect of GroEL/ES and the low induction temperature were important factors for solubilization of the inclusion body from overproduced $\beta$-glucosidases.

  • The effects of GroEL/ES chaperone on the production of soluble form of B. macerans cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) in recombinant E. coli were investigated. The cgt gene and groEL/ES genes are under the control of T7 promoter and Pzt-1 promoter, respectively. The optimal concentrations of inducers, IPTG and tetracycline, were found to be 1.0 mM and 10 ng/ml, respectively. When tetracycline and IPTG were added at the early exponential phase (2h) and exponential phase (3h) of growth, respectively, about 1.5-fold increase of soluble CGTase activity and 1.6-fold increase of soluble CGTase protein were obtained. An SDS-PAGE analysis revealed that about $37.2\%$ of total CGTase protein was in the soluble fraction when GroEL/ES chaperone was overexpressed.

  • Baeyer-Villiger (BV) oxidation of cyclohexanone to ${\varepsilon}$-caprolactone in a microbial system expressing cyclohexanone monooxygenase (CHMO) can be influenced by not only the efficient regeneration of NADPH but also a sufficient supply of oxygen. In this study, the bacterial hemoglobin gene from Vitreoscilla stercoraria (vhb) was introduced into the recombinant Escherichia coli expressing CHMO to investigate the effects of an oxygen-carrying protein on microbial BV oxidation of cyclohexanone. Coexpression of Vhb allowed the recombinant E. coli strain to produce a maximum ${\varepsilon}$-caprolactone concentration of 15.7 g/l in a fed-batch BV oxidation of cyclohexanone, which corresponded to a 43% improvement compared with the control strain expressing CHMO only under the same conditions.
