본 연구는 우리나라의 전통발효식품인 재래간장에서도 혈전용해효소 생산 미생물이 존재할 가능성이 있다고 판단하여, 지역의 재래간장으로부터 혈전용해효소 생산능이 우수한 균주 K42를 최종 선발하였다. 선발된 균주는 B. amyloliquefaciens로 동정되었으며, l2% NaCl 함유된 배지에서도 균생육이 양호하였으며 10% NaCl 농도까지 효소생산이 유지되는 내염성 세균임을 알 수 있었다. 혈전용해효소의 정제는 40% ammonium sulfate로 분별 염석 후 DEAE-Sephadex A-50, Sephadex G-100, Sephadex G-75를 이용하여 단일단백의 효소로 정제하였다. 효소의 활성도는 배양여액에 비해 17.1배 증가하였고, 회수율은 1.1%로 나타났다. Disc-electrophoresis와 SDS-PAGE를 실시하여 분자량 45,000 Dalton의 단일 단백질로 확인하였다. 혈전용해효소의 특성조사에 있어서는 최적 pH는 8.0의 약알칼리성을 나타내었고 안정성에 있어서는 pH 4.0에서 pH 10.0 범위에서 80% 이상의 잔존활성을 나타내었으며, 최적반응 온도는 $50^{\circ}C$로 조사되었고 열 안정성에 있어서는 3$0^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 50분간 열처리시 80%이상 잔존 활성을 보였다. 금속이온of B. amyloliquefaciens K42가 생산하는 fibrinolytic enzyme의 활성에 미치는 영향을 검토한 결과 $Mg^{2+}$ $Cu^{ 2+}$에 대해서는 효소 활성이 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 또한 B. amyioliquefaciens K42가 생산하는 fibrinolytic enzyme은 metallo enzyme의 활성저해제인 EDTA등에 대해서는 15%이하로 효소 활성이 감소되었는데 이러한 효소 활성 저해로 보아 metallo enzyme이거나 활성에 금속이온이 필요한 것으로 추정된다. 그리고 기질인 fibrin과의 친화성을 알아보기 위해 Km값을 측정하였는데 Km값은 2.03 mg/ml 나타났다.

A laccase was isolated from the culture filtrate of the basidiomycete Fomitella fraxinea. The enzyme was purified to electrophoretical homogeneity using ammonium sulfate precipitation, anion-exchange chromatography, and gel-filtration chromatography. The enzyme was identified as a monomeric protein with a molecular mass of 47 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and gel-filtration chromatography, and had an isoelectric point of 3.8. The N-terminal amino acid sequence for the enzyme was ATXSNXKTLAAD, which had a very low similarity to the sequences previously reported for laccases from other basidiomycetes. The optimum pH and temperature for 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS) were 3.0 and $70^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme also showed a much higher level of specific activity for ABTS and 2,6-dimethoxyphenol (DMP), where the $K_m$ values of the enzyme for ABTS and 2,6-DMP were 270 and $426{\mu}M$, respectively, and the $V_{max}$ values were 876 and $433.3{\mu}M/min$, respectively. The laccase activity was completely inhibited by L-cysteine, dithiothreitol (DTT), and sodium azide, significantly inhibited by $Ni^+,\;Mn^{2+}$, and $Ba^{2+}$, and slightly stimulated by $K^+$ and $Ca^{2+}$.

As for the purpose, we first introduce an random mutation into wild-type gene to expand a mutation space, and then further recombine the mutant genes by staggered extension process PCR. As a result, we obtained the best clones 6-52 that showed a high activity and stability, from a round of error prone and staggered extension process PCR. The purified enzyme showed a similar pH stability to the wild-type enzyme and reveal a slightly high optimum pH at 12. In the optimum temperature, an identical dependency was also showed and a quite high stability in the thermal stability was obtained. Along with this, the enzyme was also stable at a reaction that supplement with a 15 % of ethanol as an additive. The addition of other solvents and surfactants did not improve the reaction and thus resulted in a similar profile to those of wild-type enzyme. The specific activity on the target compound rac-ketoprofen ethyl ester was calculated to be about 85, 000 unit, and the kinetic constants Km and Vmax were determined to be 0.2 mM and 90 mM/mg-protein/min respectively. The deduced amino acid alignment with the wild type enzyme revealed five mutations at L120P, I208V, T249A, D287H and T357A. Based on these observations, the site directed mutagenesis to delineate the mutagenic effect is under progress.

The gene encoding ${\alpha}-\small{L}$-arabinofuranosidase (AFase) from Paenibacillus sp. DG-22 was cloned, sequenced, and expressed in Escherichia coli. The AFase gene (abfA) comprises a 1,509 bp open reading frame encoding 502 amino acids with a molecular mass of 56,520 daltons. The deduced amino acid sequence of the gene shows that AbfA is an enzyme consisting of only a catalytic domain, and that the enzyme has significant similarity to AFases classified into the family 51 of the glycosyl hydrolases. abfA was subcloned into the pQE60 expression vector to fuse it with a six-histidine tag and the recombinant AFase (rAbfA) was purified to homogeneity. The specific activity of the recombinant enzyme was 96.7 U/mg protein. Determination of the apparent molecular mass by gel-filtration chromatography indicated that AbfA has a tetrameric structure. The optimal pH and temperature of the enzyme were 6.0 and $60^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme activity was completely inhibited by 1 mM $HgCl_2$. rAbfA was active only towards p-nitrophephenyl ${\alpha}-\small{L}$-arabinofuranoside and exhibited $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ values of 3.5 mM and 306.1 U/mg, respectively. rAbfA showed a synergistic effect in combination with endoxylanase on the degradation of oat spelt xylan and wheat arabinoxylan.

A strong fibrin-specific fibrinolytic enzyme was produced from Bacillus subtilis KH-4 isolated from Deonjang, a Korean fermented soybean paste similar to Japanese miso. The addition of glucose as a carbon source resulted in the highest levels of caseinolytic and fibrinolytic activities. Likewise, the addition of yeast extract as the nitrogen source resulted in the highest caseinolytic and fibrinolytic activities (3473.2 unit and 47.4 munit, respectively), It was observed that out of all metal ion sources only calcium (chloride) enhanced caseinolytic and fibrinolytic activities, with increases of 4949.3 unit and 58.2 unit/mg, respectively. The optimal temperature for the production of the enzyme was found to be 4$0^{\circ}C$ in the optimal medium (glucose 20 g, yeast extract 5 g, CaCl$_2$l g, and NaCl 2 g). The maximum fibrinolytic activity was observed at the late stationary phase. B. subtilis KH-4 produced a fibrinolytic enzyme at 4$0^{\circ}C$, after 30 h growth, which increased up to 54 h and then remained constant. These results suggest that Deonjang has potential as a source of physiologically active anti-thromotic enzymes.

Chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) was purified to homogeneity from Morganella morganii starting with ammonium sulphate fractionation, followed by separation on DEAE-Sephadex A50, and G-100 Sephadex gel filtration. The enzyme was purified 133.3 fold and showed a final specific activity of 60 units/mg protein with a yield of 37%. Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of the purified enzyme revealed it as a heterotetramer that consists of four subunits with close molecular weights (19.5, 19, 18, and 17.5 kDa). The molecular weight of the native enzyme was calculated to be 78 kDa, as determined by gel filtration, which approximated to that of the four subunits (74 kDa). The enzyme showed a maximum activity at pH 7.8 when incubated at $35^{\circ}C$. A Lineweaver-Burk analysis gave a Km of 5.0 uM and Vmax of 153.8 U/ml. The amino acid composition of the purified enzyme was also determined.

Phenoxazinone synthase catalyzes the oxidative condensation of two molecules of substituted o-aminophenol to the phenoxazinone chromophore of actinomycin. Mutant strain, Streptomyces sp. V-8-M-1 producing higher phenoxazinone synthase, was obtained from Streptomyces sp. V-8 by treatment of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. The phenoxazinone synthase was purified from extract of mutant strain of Streptomyces sp. V-8-M-l by successive steps of streptomycin sulfate, ammonium sulfate precipitation. DEAE-cellulose and Sephadex G-200 column chromatography. Molecular weight of the enzyme was 360,000 daltons. The enzyme was composed of octamer of a single subunit of 45,000 daltons. The Km value and Vmax value for 3-HAA were $14.9{\;}{\mu}M$ and 9.5 mg/U, respectively. The optimal pH and temperature for the enzyme activity were 9.0 and $25~30^{\circ}C$, respectively. Treatment of the enzyme with group specific reagents, phenylglyoxal, p-hydroxymercury-benzoate, Nbromosuccinimide, 5.5'-dithiobis-nitrobenzoic acid and ethylmaleimide resulted in loss of enzyme activity, which shows arginine and cysteine residues are at or near the active site.
