저분자량의 효소인 셀루라아제가 Sephadex G-100 gel chromatography를 사용하여 정제되었다. 정제된 성분의 생화학적 성질들이 조사되었는데 최적 PH와 온도가 각각 6.0과 5$0^{\circ}C$이었다. 서로 다른 결정도(crystallinity)를 갖고 있는 4가지 섬유소 기질의, 효소에 의한 가수분해가 측정되었다. 무정형(amorphous) 부분의 가수분해가 일어난 후에 결정화되어 있는 부분의 가수분해가 뒤따라온다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 효소가 섬유소 기질에 흡착되는 정도가 가수분해 반응에 미치는 영향을 보기 위해 흡착에 대한 연구가 수행되었다. 시간에 따라서 소분자량의 endo-glucanase가 여러가지섬유소 기질에 흡착되는 정도의 변화가 25분간 측정되었다. 무정형의 섬유소에 흡착되는 속도와 정도가 결정형 섬유소에 대한 그것들 보다 더욱 크게 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 endo-glucanase가 섬유소의 결정화 부분의 가수분해보다는 무정형부분의 가수분해에 대해서 더욱 중요한 역할을 한다는 것을 시사해 준다.

The XylH gene (1,167-bp) encoding a novel hemicellulase (41,584 Da) was identified from the genome of Microbacterium trichothecenolyticum HY-17, a gastrointestinal bacterium of Gryllotalpa orientalis. The enzyme consisted of a single catalytic domain, which is 74% identical to that of an endo-${\beta}$-1,4-xylanase (GH10) from Isoptericola variabilis 225. Unlike other endo-${\beta}$-1,4-xylanases from invertebrate-symbiotic bacteria, rXylH was an alkali-tolerant multifunctional enzyme possessing endo-${\beta}$-1,4-xylanase activity together with ${\beta}$-1,3/${\beta}$-1,4-glucanase activity, which exhibited its highest xylanolytic activity at pH 9.0 and 60oC, and was relatively stable within a broad pH range of 5.0-10.0. The susceptibilities of different xylosebased polysaccharides to the XylH were assessed to be as follows: oat spelts xylan > beechwood xylan > birchwood xylan > wheat arabinoxylan. rXylH was also able to readily cleave p-nitrophenyl (pNP) cellobioside and pNP-xylopyranoside, but did not hydrolyze other pNP-sugar derivatives, xylobiose, or hexose-based materials. Enzymatic hydrolysis of birchwood xylan resulted in the product composition of xylobiose (71.2%) and xylotriose (28.8%) as end products.

A gene coding $endo-{\beta}$,-1, 4 glucanase from Actinomyces sp. KNG40 and phytase from Hansenula polymorpha were cloned into Esherichia coli JM101 by using E. coli/Lactobacillus shuttle vector pNZ3004 and pNZ123. The plasmid p3PS(1-4) and p123(1-4) have slpA promoter and slpA signal sequence. So, I constructed expression vectors, p3PS(1-4)Endo, phy and p123(1-4)Endo, phy. These constructed vector was transformed in target host Lactobacillus gasseri and reutri. These transformed host expressed endoglucanase and phytase as extracellular fraction. In the enzyme activity of the same vector, host L, gasseri was higher activity than L. reuteri. This indicates that L. gasseri recongnize promoter and signal sequence very well.

Acanthophysium sp. KMF001, a wood rotting fungus, produces a strong crude enzyme complex that efficiently produces simple sugars from wood. The transcriptomic analysis of Acanthophysium sp. KMF001 identified 14 genes for putative glycoside hydrolases. Among them, isotig01043 was expressed heterogeneously in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3), and the expressed protein exhibited an endo-${\beta}$-1,4-xylanase activity which showed the optimum reaction at pH 5.0 and $30^{\circ}C$. The enzyme kinetic values of $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ were 25.92 mg/ml and $0.628{\mu}mole/mg/ml$, respectively. The enzymatic characteristics of the expressed xylanase showed a typical fungal xylanase. However, the bioinformatics analysis suggested that the protein encoded by isotig01043 was a novel xylanase based on a low identity when it was compared with the closest protein in the NCBI database and a similar protein domain with GH16_fungal_Lam16A_glucanase, which had not been earlier suggested as a xylanase.

본 연구는 새롭게 개발된 느티만가닥버섯의 6개 품종에 대한 형태적, 생리적 특성을 조사하고 endo-, exo-cellular 효소 활성을 측정하기 위해서 수행되었다. 국내 야생종인 Hm3-10과 일본 재배종인 Hm1-1과의 단핵균사 교배를 통하여 343개의 교배 균주를 획득하여 재배를 실시하여 58개 균주를 1차 선발하고 2차로 6개 균주를 선발하였다. 6개 선발 균주를 대상으로 배양 일수 별로 재배를 실시한 결과 배양일수가 80일 이상에서는 재배일수가 19~20일로 단축되어 최적 배양일수를 80일로 결정하였다. 80일 배양일수에서 각 품종별 형태적 특성을 검증한 결과 Hm15-3, Hm15-4, Hm17-5의 3균주가 재배에 적합한 균주로 판명되었다. 각 균주의 endo-cellular 효소 활성도를 측정한 결과, ${\alpha}$-amylase의 효소 활성도가 73.9~102,2 unit/mg protein으로 가장 높았으며, chitinase 의 효소 활성도가 8.1~13.1 unit/mg protein으로 측정되었다. Exo-cellular효소 활성도를 측정한 결과, ${\alpha}$-amylase의 효소 활성도가 5,292~1,184 unit/mg protein으로 가장 높았으며, CMCase와 Xylanase의 효소 활성도가 각각 1,140~245 unit/mg protein, 94~575 unit/mg protein으로 측정되었다. 그러나 ${\beta}$-glucosidase와 chitinase의 활성도는 비교적 낮은 활성도를 나타내었다.

We have found that Thermoactinomyces vulgaris KFB-Cl00 produces a chitinase. The optimum temperature and pH of the enzyme activity were $55^{\circ}C$ and 6.5. The enzyme was stable after heat treatment at $80^{\circ}C$ for 30 min and stable in acidic and basic conditions (PH 6.0~11.0). The thermostable endo-chitinase from Thermoactinomyces vulgaris KFB-C100 was cloned into the plasmid pBR322 by using E. coli DH5$\alpha$ as a host strain. The positive clone carrying a recombinant plasmid (PKCHI23) with a 4.1-kb fragment containing the chitinase gene was found. The recombinant plasmid was analyzed to determine the essential region for chitinase activity and obtained a 2.3-kb fragment, which was sub cloned into pTrc99A using the PstI and SalI sites to construct pTrc99A/pKCHI23-3. The resulting plasmid exerted high chitinase activity upon transformation of E. coli XL1-Blue cells. Chitinase was overproduced 14 times more in the clone cells than in the wild-type cells and the enzyme was purified to homogeneity. The purified enzyme showed the similar properties as the native chitinase from T. vulgaris in terms of molecular weight and substrate specificity. The catalytic action of the cloned enzyme was an endo type, producing chitobiose as a major reaction product.

Three extracellular protease-deficient Bacillus subtilis strains were transformed with the plasmid pCK98 containing the endo-$\beta$-1,4-glucanase (Eng) gene of B. subtilis BSE616. The three transformants, B. subtilis DB104 (pCK98), WB600 (pCK98) and WB700 (pCK98), produced the same high level of enzyme activity and showed similar patterns of cell growth and enzyme production. When B. subtilis DB 104 (pCK98), a two-extracellular protease deficient strain, was cultured for 22 h, almost all the secreted enzyme was found to be in the completely cleaved form by both activity staining and Western blotting studies. B. subtilis WB600 (pCK98), a six-extracellular protease-deficient strain, produced a partially cleaved form in addition to the intact form of the enzyme, although the degree of internal cleavage of the enzyme was greatly reduced. With B. subtilis WB700 (pCK98), a seven-extracellular protease-deficient strain, almost all the enzyme was produced as the intact uncleaved form. This study illustrates that a role of the V pr protease is to degrade foreign proteins produced in B. subtilis and WB700 is a suitable expression system for producing the intact form of the Eng and other foreign proteins that may lose at least part of their efficacy due to internal proteolytic cleavage.

A xylanase (xylanase I) was purified 11.9-fold from the culture filtrate of Trichoderma koningii ATCC 26113 by the column chromatography on Sephadex G-75, SP-Sephadex C-50, DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and Sephadex G-50 with an overall yield of 8.2%. The molecular mass determined by gel filtration and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was found to be a monomeric polypeptide of ca. 35 kDa. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was estimated to be 9.3. The optimal reaction pH and temperature are 5.8 and 55.deg.C, respectively. The enzyme is stable up to 60.deg.C, while 78% of its activity is lost after the incubation for 10 min at 70.deg.C. The enzyme hydrolyzes sylan with relatively high activity, as well as carboxymethyl cellulose and avicel. The $K_{m}$ values of the enzyme for oat-spelf sylan, larchwood xylan and Avicel were 3.5, 1.6 and 10. 1 mg/ml, respectively. The enzyme hydrolyzed oat-spelt sylan to sylose, sylobiose, sylotriose and arabionoxylobiose, while it degraded larchwood xylan to xylose, xylobiose, xylotriose and arabionoxylobiose, while it degraded larchwood xylan to xylose, xylobiose and xylotriose as the major products. The hydrolysis patterns indicate that xylanase I is endo-enzyme.e.

Endonuclease G (EndoG) is a mitochondrial non-specific nuclease that is highly conserved among the eukaryotes. Although the precise role of EndoG in mitochondria is not yet known, the enzyme is released from the mitochondria and digests nuclear DNA during apoptosis in mammalian cells. Schizosaccharomyces pombe has an EndoG homolog Pnu1p (previously named SpNuc1) that is produced as a precursor protein with a mitochondrial targeting sequence. During the sorting into mitochondria the signal sequence is cleaved to yield the functionally active endonuclease. From the analogy to EndoG, active extramitochondrial Pnu1p may trigger cell killing by degrading nuclear DNA. Here, we tested this possibility by expressing a truncated Pnu1p lacking the signal sequence in the extramitochondrial region of pnu1-deleted cells. The truncated Pnu1p was localized in the cytosol and nuclei of yeast cells. And ectopic expression of active Pnu1p led to cell death with fragmentation of nuclear DNA. This suggests that the Pnu1p is possibly involved in a certain type of yeast cell death via DNA fragmentation. Although expression of human Bak in S. pombe was lethal, Pnu1p nuclease is not necessary for hBak-induced cell death.

The crude enzyme prepared from the culture supernantant of Arthrobacter sp. S37 was purified by Phenyl Toyopearl column chromatography. Six endo-inulinases were detected by activity staining on native PAGE and named Inu I to Inu VI. Endo-inulinase were further purified by DEAE cellulose column chromatography and band slicing. Inu II~VI produced mainly inulotriose (F3) and inulotetraose (F4) as well as a small amount of inulobiose (F2) and fructose in contrast to Inu I producing F3, F4 and F5 from inulin. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of native and six CNBr-cleaved fragment of Inu VI were determined. No homology was found in amino acid sequences between Inu VI and other fructan hydrolase including invertase reported.
