Green fluorescent protein (GFPuv) was displayed on the surface of ethanol-producing bacteria Zymomonas mobilis using N-terminal domain of ice nucleation protein (INP) as an anchoring motif. To evaluate the ice nucleation protein as plausible anchor motif in Z. mobilis, GFPuv gene was subcloned into Zymomonas expression vector yielding pBBR1MCS-3/pPDC/INPN/GFPuv plasmid., INP-GFPuv fusion protein was expressed in Z. mobilis and its fluorescence was verified by confocal microscopy. The successful display of GFPuv on Zymomonas mobilis suggest that INP anchor motif could be used for future fusion partner in Z. mobilis strain improvement.

Cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s) are involved in the synthesis of a wide variety of valuable products and in the degradation of numerous toxic compounds. The P450 BM3 (CYP102A1) from Bacillus megaterium was the first P450 discovered to be fused to its redox partner, a mammalian-like diflavin reductase. Here, we report the development of a whole-cell biocatalyst using ice-nucleation protein (Inp) from Pseudomonas syringae to display a hemeand diflavin-containing oxidoreductase, P450 BM3 (a single, 119-kDa polypeptide with domains of both an oxygenase and a reductase) on the surface of Escherichia coli. The surface localization and functionality of the fusion protein containing P450 BM3 were verified by flow cytometry and measurement of enzymatic activities. The results of this study comprise the first report of microbial cell-surface display of a heme- and diflavin-containing enzyme. This system should allow us to select and develop oxidoreductases containing heme and/or flavins into practically useful whole-cell biocatalysts for extensive biotechnological applications, including selective synthesis of new chemicals and pharmaceuticals, bioconversion, bioremediation, live vaccine development, and biochip development.

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.
