Existing methods for optimization of sequences by random mutagenesis generate libraries with a small number of mostly deleterious mutations, resulting in libraries containing a large fraction of non-functional clones that explore only a small part of sequence space. Large numbers of clones need to be screened to find the rare mutants with improvements. Library display formats are useful to screen very large libraries but impose screening limitations that limit the value of this approach for most commercial applications. By contrast, in both classical breeding and in DNA shuffling, natural diversity is permutated by homologous recombination, generating libraries of very high quality, from which improved clones can be identified with a small number of complex screens. Given that this small number of screens can be performed under the conditions of actual use of the product, commercially relevant improvements can be reliably obtained.

PCR방법을 기본으로 한 in vitro recombination과 대장균 cdd 돌연변이주에서의 발현을 통하여 family shuffling이 수행되었다. 고온성 Bacillus caldolyticu와 B. stearothermophilus 유래의 시티딘 디아미나제을 코드하는 cdd 유전자를 shuffling하였다. 이것을 대장균 cdd 돌연변이주에 형질전환 시킨 후 uraci이 없는 AB배지에서의 생존을 통하여 150개의 돌연변이 균주를 얻을 수 있었으며, 그 중 연구를 위하여 4주(SH1067, SH1077, SH1086, 및 SH1118)를 선택하였다. 선택한 4주의 염기서열을 분석한 결과, 수 회의 point mutation과 recombination이 각각 일어났음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 특히 SH1067의 경우,$ 80^{\circ}C$에서 B. stearothemophilus 에서 유래한 7101의 시티딘 디아미나제 활성과 비교하여 770배 이상의 증가를 보여주었다.

Four aprE genes encoding alkaline serine proteases from B. subtilis strains were used as template genes for family gene shuffling. Shuffled genes obtained by DNase I digestion followed by consecutive primerless and regular PCR reactions were ligated with pHY300PLK, an E. coli-Bacillus shuttle vector. The ligation mixture was introduced into B. subtilis WB600 and one transformant (FSM4) showed higher fibrinolytic activity. DNA sequencing confirmed that the shuffled gene (aprEFSM4) consisted of DNA mostly originated from either aprEJS2 or aprE176 in addition to some DNA from either aprE3-5 or aprESJ4. Mature AprEFSM4 (275 amino acids) was different from mature AprEJS2 in 4 amino acids and mature AprE176 in 2 amino acids. aprEFSM4 was overexpressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3) by using pET26b(+) and recombinant AprEFSM4 was purified. The optimal temperature and pH of AprEFSM4 were similar to those of parental enzymes. However, AprEFM4 showed better thermostability and fibrinogen hydrolytic activity than the parental enzymes. The results indicated that DNA shuffling could be used to improve fibrinolytic enzymes from Bacillus sp. for industrial applications.

Alcaligenes faecalis T1의 Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate)(PHB) depolymerase활성 증진을 위해 DNA shuffling방법을 이용하였다. 제조된 A. faecalis T1의 PHB depolymerase 돌연변이 유전자의 library를 Pseudomonas syringae의 icenucleation protein유전자를 포함하는 발현벡터 pJHCll에 클로닝하여 약 7,000개의 형질전환체를 얻었다. 탄소원으로 PHB또는 poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate)를 포함하는 M9최소배지를 이용하여 형질전환체들로부터 활성이 서로 다른 돌연변이주들을 선별하였다. 이들의 PHB depolymease 활성은 평판배지에서의 halo형성 및 배양 상등액을 이용한 탁도 감소 실험으로 확인하였으며,형질전환체들 중에서 shuffling전의 대조군에 비하여 사용된 기질에 따라 효소활성이 1.8-3.2배 증진된 II-4 돌연변이주를 얻었다. DNA 염기서열의 분석을 통하여 II-4의 PHB depolymease에는 3개의 아미노산 치환(A1a209Va1, Leu258Phe, Asp263Thr)이 이루어졌음을 확인하였다. 여러 가지 돌연변이주의 아미노산 서열의 변화를 분석한 결과, PHB depolymerase의 catalytictriad주위에 기존 아미노산에 비하여 보다 소수성인 아미노산으로의 치환이 소수성 기질인 PHB에 대한분해 활성 중진에 기여하는 것으로 추정되었다.

In this study, we cloned the ERF-B3 subfamily transcription factor gene BnaERF-B3-hy15 from Brassica napus L. Huyou15. This 600 bp gene encodes a 199 amino acid classic ethylene responsive factor (ERF), which shown no binding or very weak binding GCC box-binding activity by the yeast one-hybrid assay. We used gene shuffling and the yeast one-hybrid system to obtain three mutated sequences that can bind to the GCC box. Sequence analysis indicated that two residues, Gly156 in the AP2 domain and Phe62 at the N-terminal domain were mutated to arginine and serine, respectively. Changes of Gly156 to arginine and Phe62 to serine increased the GCC-binding activity of BnaERF-B3-hy15 and the alter of Gly156 to arginine changed the AP2-domain structure of BnaERF-B3-hy15.

The MTF1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes a 43 kDa MITOCHONDRIAL RNA polymerase specificity factor which recognizes mitochondrial promoters to initiate correct transcription. To better understand structure-function of the MTF1 gene as well as the transcription mechanism of mitochondrial RNA polymerase, two cold-sensitive alleles of the MTF1 mutation were isolated by plasmid shuffling method after PCR-based random mutagenesis of the MTF1 gene. The mutation sites were analyzed by nucleotide sequencing. These cs phenotype mtf1 mutants were respiration competent on the nonfermentible glycerol medium at the permissive temperature, but incompetent at 13.deg.C. The cs phenotype allele of the MTF1, yJH147, encoded an L146P replacement. The other cs allele, yJH148, contained K179E and K214M double replacements. Mutations in both alleles were in a region of Mtflp which is located between domains with amino acid sequence similarities to conserved regions 2 and 3 of bacterial s factors.

The lipase gene(lip) from Bacillus stearothermophilus was recombined in vitro by utilizing the DNA shuffling technique. After four rounds of shuffling, transformation, and screening based on the initial rate of clear zone formation on a tricaprylin plate, a clone (M10) was isolated, the cell extract of which showed about 2.8-fold increased lipase activity. The DNA sequence of the mutant lipase gene (m10) showed 3 base changes, resulting in two cryptic mutations and one amino acid substitution: S113($AGC{\rightarrow}AGT$), L252 ($TTG{\rightarrow}TTA$), and G275E ($GGA{\rightarrow}GAA$). SDS-PAGE analysis revealed that the increased enzyme activity observed in M10 was partly caused by high expression of the m10 lipase gene. The amount of the expressed G275E lipase was estimated to comprise as much as 41% of the total soluble proteins of the cell. The maximum velocity ($V_{max}$) of the purified mutant enzyme for the hydrolysis of olive oil was measured to be 3,200 U/mg, which was 10% higher than that of the parental (WT) lipase (2,900 U/mg). Its optimum temperature for the hydrolysis of olive oil was $68^{\circ}C$ and it showed a typical $Ca^{2+}$-dependent thermostability, properties fo which were the same as those of the WT lipase. However, the mutant enzyme exhibited a high enantiospecificity towards (S)-naproxen compared with the WT lipase. In addition, it showed increased hydrolytic activity towards triolein, tricaprin, tricaprylin, and tricaproin.

본 연구는 에탄올내성, 내열성, ${\beta}-glucanase$ 활성 및 xylose 대사가 가능한 새로운 생물시스템을 육종하기 위해 원형질체융합(protoplast fusion)이라는 방법을 사용하여 S. cerevisiae BYK-F11 균주와 P. $stipitis{\Delta}ura$ 균주와의 genome shuffling을 시도하였다. P. $stipitis{\Delta}ura$ 균주는 URA3 유전자를 결실시켜 uracil 영양요구주로 구축되었다. Protoplast fusion을 통해 몇몇의 융합체가 선별되었고, 두 모균주인 BYK-F11 균주와 P. $stipitis{\Delta}ura$ 균주의 핵형(karyotype)를 모두 가지는 BYKPS-F8 균주가 22개의 융합체중에서 최종 선정되었다. 이어 ${\beta}-glucanase$ 활성, xylose 이용능, 에탄올내성, 내열성 및 에탄올생산성에 대한 다양한 표현형이 조사되었다. BYKPS-F8 균주는 모균주인 BYK-F11 균주가 가지는 ${\beta}-glucanase$ 활성을 가지게 되었고, P. $stipitis{\Delta}ura$ 균주가 가지는 xylose 이용능도 모균주보다 1.2배 증가되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. BYKPS-F8 균주는 $40^{\circ}C$에서 내열성을 보였으며, 8% 에탄올이 첨가된 배지에서 모균주에 비해 에탄올 내성이 증가되었음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 20 g/l의 xylose가 함유된 배지에서 72시간 배양에 의해 약 7.5 g/l의 에탄올을 생산할 수 있었으며, 260시간의 장기간의 배양에도 BYKPS-F8균주에 도입한 다형질이 안정적으로 유지됨을 확인하였다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 사용된 균주 육종방법을 통해 다형질을 가진 다른 속간의 균주 융합 및 산업적으로 유용한 생물시스템의 육종이 가능함을 확인하였다.
