  • 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.

  • Bradyrhizobium japonicum 은 콩과 식물의 뿌리에 감염하여 뿌리흑을 형성 질소를 고정하는 독특한 능력을 갖는 토양 세균이며 미생물 비료제로 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 저온에서 전처리한 B . japonicum 균주를 여러 가지 환경스트레스 조건에 노출하였을 때 생균수의 변화를 확인하였다. 저온 전처리는 16시간 동안 $4^{\circ}C$의 조건을 유지했다. 다양한 스트레스(알콜, 과산화수소, 고온, 건조)에 노출하였을 때, 저온 전처리한 것이 그렇지 않는 것보다 10~1,000배 정도 높은 생균수를 유지하였다. 이러한 내성중진 현상에 전처리 동안 새로운 단백질 합성이 수반되는 것을 단백질 합성 저해제 인 chloramphenicol을 전처리 과정에 포함하여 확인하였다. 저온 스트레스 내성에 관여하는 유전자를 B. japonicum genome 으로부터 중폭하였고 염기서열 분석을 실시하였다. 실험에서 확인된 B . japonicum의 CSP (Cold shock protein) 단백질의 부분적 아미노산 서열은 이미 확인된 다른 균주의 Csp 단백질과 유사함을 확인하였다.

  • The hydrophobic spores of Streptomyces sp. AA8321 isolated from the Antarctic coast displayed demulsification ability. The aerial spores demulsified an emulsion of kerosene/$0.2\%$ Triton X-100 (2:1, v/v) to $50\%$ and $95\%$ within 1 min contact at the concentrations of $5.0{\times}10^7$ and $1.0{\times}10^8$ spores/ml, respectively. A cold shock protein (csp) gene was cloned from the hydrophobic spore- producing Streptomyces sp. AA8321 using PCR. It encoded a low molecular protein with 68 amino acids showing very low homology with previously reported csp genes. Only the sequence of the first six amino acids was just the same and yet others were different. RNA blot analysis indicated that the csp gene was induced by cold shock, i.e., transferring from $30^{\circ}C$ to $10^{\circ}C$, and this cold shock response proposed that the isolated gene be a new type of csp gene.

  • 본 연구에서는 저온에서 발현이 유도되고 지속적으로 발현된다고 알려진 대장균의 6개의 유전자 (frdA, glpB, hypE, katG, nupG, ompT)에 대한 promoter의 단백질 생산성을 알아보기 위하여 GFP를 reporter 단백질로 이용하여 각각의 promoter들에 대한 $37^{\circ}C$$15^{\circ}C$에서의 발현도와 저온 유도성에 대하여 고찰하였다. nupG promoter의 경우 $37^{\circ}C$$15^{\circ}C$ 모두에서 지속적인 유전자 발현도를 보였으나 promoter에 의한 저온 유도성은 없는 것으로 판별되었다.

  • Cold shock proteins (CSPs) are a family of proteins induced at low temperatures. CSPs bind to single-stranded nucleic acids through the ribonucleoprotein 1 and 2 (RNP 1 and 2) binding motifs. CSPs play an essential role in cold adaptation by regulating transcription and translation via molecular chaperones. The solution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) or X-ray crystal structures of several CSPs from various microorganisms have been determined, but structural characteristics of psychrophilic CSPs have not been studied. Therefore, we optimized the purification process to obtain highly pure Lm-Csp and determined the three-dimensional structure model of Lm-Csp by comparative homology modeling using MODELLER on the basis of the solution NMR structure of Bs-CspB. Lm-Csp consists of a ${\beta}$-barrel structure, which includes antiparallel ${\beta}$ strands (G4-N10, F15-I18, V26-H29, A46-D50, and P58-Q64). The template protein, Bs-CspB, shares a similar ${\beta}$ sheet structure and an identical chain fold to Lm-Csp. However, the sheets in Lm-Csp were much shorter than those of Bs-CspB. The Lm-Csp side chains, E2 and R20 form a salt bridge, thus, stabilizing the Lm-Csp structure. To evaluate the contribution of this ionic interaction as well as that of the hydrophobic patch on protein stability, we investigated the secondary structures of wild type and mutant protein (W8, F15, and R20) of Lm-Csp using circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. The results showed that solvent-exposed aromatic side chains as well as residues participating in ionic interactions are very important for structural stability. Further studies on the three-dimensional structure and dynamics of Lm-Csp using NMR spectroscopy are required.

  • Antifreeze proteins (AFP) inhibit growth and recrystallization of ice, and permit organisms to survive in cold environments. The AFP from an Antarctic bacterium, Flavobacterium frigoris PS1, FfIBP (Flavobacterium frigoris icebinding protein), was produced in E. coli using a cold shock induction system. The culture temperature was shifted from $37^{\circ}C$ to $15^{\circ}C$ and a 20 L culture scale was used. The final weights of dried cell and FfIBP were estimated to be 126 g and 8.4 g, respectively. The thermal hysteresis (TH) activity ($1.53^{\circ}C$) of the produced FfIBP was 3.6-fold higher than that of the LeIBP (Leucosporidium ice-binding protein) produced in Picha. The current study demonstrates that large-scale production of FfIBP was successful and the result could be extended to further application studies using recombinant AFPs.

  • 본 연구에서 L. crispatus KLB46을 저온 전처리함으로서 제제화 과정에 받게 되는 얼림과 녹임, 건조 스트레스뿐만 아니라, 여러 다른 환경 스트레스에 대한 내성이 증진된다는 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 내성 증진에 신규 단백질 합성이 필요함을 확인하였으며 나아가, 저온 충격 유전자 (csp)를 확인하였다. 따라서 이 균주를 제제화 하기 위한 방법으로 저온 전처리를 이용할 경우 생균력 유지에 큰 효과를 얻을 수 있다고 사료된다.

  • In order to investigate environmental stress inducible genes in abalone, we analyzed differentially expressed transcripts from a Pacific abalone, Haliotis discus hannai, after exposure to heat-, cold- or hyposalinity-shock by suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) method. 1,074 unique sequences from SSH libraries were composed to 115 clusters and 986 singletons, the overall redundancy of the library was 16.3%. From the BLAST search, of the 1,316 ESTs, 998 ESTs (75.8%) were identified as known genes, but 318 clones (24.2%) did not match to any previously described genes. From the comparison results of ESTs pattern of three SSH cDNA libraries, the most abundant EST was different in each SSH library: small heat shock protein p26 (sHSP26) in heat-shock, trypsinogen 2 in cold-shock, and actin in hyposalinity SSH cDNA library. Based on sequence similarities, several response-to-stress genes such as heat shock proteins (HSPs) were identified commonly from the abalone SSH libraries. HSP70 gene was induced by environmental stress regardless of temperature-shock or salinity-stress, while the increase of sHSP26 mRNA expression was not detected in cold-shock but in heat-shock condition. These results suggest that the suppression subtractive hybridization method is an efficient way to isolate differentially expressed gene from the invertebrate environmental stress-response transcriptome.

  • Bacillus subtilis에 존재하는 DEAD-box RNA helicase 유전자의 결손이 저온 충격에 민감성을 보이는지를 조사하였다. 저온 충격에 민감한지를 알아 보기 위하여 대수기에($O.D_{600}$=0.5-0.6) 있는 세포를 $15^{\circ}C$도 낮추어 저온충격을 가하여 생장하는 정도를 조사하였다. DEAD-box RNA helicase 유전자 ydbR, yfmL, yqfR, deaD의 결손 균주들이 저온충격을 가하였을 때 ydbR 결손 균주의 생장이 야생형 균주에 비해 5배 정도 현저히 감소하였으나, 다른 DEAD-box RNA helicase 유전자의 (yfmL, yqfR, deaD) 결손은 야생형 균주와 비슷한 생장을 보였다. 저온에서의 유전자 발현을 알아보기 위하여 Northern blot으로 mRNA 양을 알아본 결과 $37^{\circ}C$에 비해 $15^{\circ}C$에서 ydbR과 yqfR의 mRNA전사물 증가를 확인할 수 있었고, 반면에 yfmL과 deaD의 전사 증가는 관찰되지 않았다. $37^{\circ}C$에서 $15^{\circ}C$로 저온 충격을 가하면 ydbR mRNA 양의 뚜렷한 증가를 확인하였고, 전사 억제제인 rifampicin를 처리하여 ydbR mRNA의 양을 조사하였을 때 $15^{\circ}C$ 조건에서는 mRNA 양이 거의 유지하는 반면에 $37^{\circ}C$ 조건에서는 급격한 mRNA의 감소가 일어나 전사과정에서 유도되기 보다는 전사 후 전사물의 안정에 기인하는 것으로 보인다. 이와 관련하여 ydbR 유전자의 5' UTR (untranaslated region) 부근에서 csp (cold shock protein) 유전자에서 관찰되는 cold box element를 확인하였고, ydbR이 저온 충격 조건에서 발현되는 과정이 csp와 유사하게 전사물의 안정성에 기인함을 알 수 있었다.

  • Low-temperature adaptation and protection for environmental stresses were studied in the gram-negative soil bacterium Bradyrhizobium japonicum 61A101c. B. japonicum was more resistant to alcohol, $H_2O_2$, heat and freezing following a pretreatment at $4^{\circ}C$, resulting in approximately 10 to 1,000 folds increased survival compared to mid-exponential-phase cells grown at an optimal temperature at $28^{\circ}C$. This phenomena relate to the cold shock protein expressed when cells are exposed to a downshift in temperature. To confirm the presence of cold shock protein genes in B. japonicum, a PCR strategy was employed using a degenerate primer set, which successfully amplified a putative csp gene fragment. Sequence analysis of the PCR product(200bp) revealed csp-like sequences that were up to 96% identical to csp gene of S. typhimurium.
