Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021 (KCTC 2353) 유전체로부터 mannitol dehydrogenase (SmMDH)로 추정되는 유전자를 클로닝하고, 대장균에서 대량 발현하였다. 이 유전자는 494개의 아미노산(약 54 kDa)을 암호화하는 1,485 bp의 염기로 구성되며, 기존에 보고된 long-chain dehydrogenase/reductase 계열 MDH 효소들과 약 35-55%의 아미노산 서열상동성을 나타내었다. 재조합 SmMDH의 최적 반응온도는 $40^{\circ}C$이며, pH 7.0의 조건에서 최대의 D-fructose 환원활성, 그리고 pH 9.0에서 최대의 D-mannitol 산화활성을 보였다. 특히, 이 효소는 $NAD^+/NADH$ 조효소의 존재 하에서 산화 환원 활성을 나타내며, $NAD^+/NADPH$는 조효소로 이용하지 못하였다. 결론적으로 SmMDH는 전형적인 $NAD^+/NADH$-의존형 mannitol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.67)임을 확인하였다.

Vibrio cholerae utilizes mannitol through an operon of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase (PTS) type. A gene, mtlD, encoding mannitol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase was identified within the 3.9 kb mannitol operon of V. cholerae. The mtlD gene was cloned from V. cholerae O395, and the recombinant enzyme was functionally expressed in E. coli as a $6{\times}$His-tagged protein and purified to homogeneity. The recombinant protein is a monomer with a molecular mass of 42.35 kDa. The purified recombinant MtlD reduced fructose 6-phosphate (F6P) using NADH as a cofactor with a $K_m$ of $1.54{\pm}0.1$ mM and $V_{max}$ of $320.8{\pm}7.81\;{\mu}mol$/min/mg protein. The pH and temperature optima for F6P reduction were determined to be 7.5 and $37^{\circ}C$, respectively. Using quantitative real-time PCR analysis, mtlD was found to be constitutively expressed in V. cholerae, but the expression was up-regulated when grown in the presence of mannitol. The MtlD expression levels were not significantly different between V. cholerae O1 and non-O1 strains.

Objective : Repeated administration of mannitol in the setting of large hemispheric infarction is a controversial and poorly defined therapeutic intervention. This study was performed to examine the effects of multiple-dose mannitol on a brain edema after large hemispheric infarction. Methods : A middle cerebral artery was occluded with the rat suture model for 6 hours and reperfused in 22 rats. The rats were randomly assigned to either control (n=10) or the mannitol-treated group (n=12) in which intravenous mannitol infusions (0.8 g/kg) were performed six times every four hours. After staining a brain slice with 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride, the weight of hemispheres, infarcted (IH) and contralateral (CH), and the IH/CH weight ratio were examined, and then hemispheric accumulation of mannitol was photometrically evaluated based on formation of NADH catalyzed by mannitol dehydrogenase. Results : Mannitol administration produced changes in body weight of $-7.6{\pm}1.1%$, increased plasma osmolality to $312{\pm}8\;mOsm/L$. It remarkably increased weight of IH ($0.77{\pm}0.06\;gm$ versus $0.68{\pm}0.03\;gm$ : p<0.01) and the IH/CH weight ratio ($1.23{\pm}0.07$ versus $1.12{\pm}0.05$ : p<0.01). The photometric absorption at 340 nm of the cerebral tissue in the mannitol-treated group was increased to $0.375{\pm}0.071$ and $0.239{\pm}0.051$ in the IH and CH, respectively from $0.167{\pm}0.082$ and $0.162{\pm}0.091$ in the IH and CH of the control group (p<0.01). Conclusion : Multiple-dose mannitol is likely to aggravate cerebral edema due to parenchymal accumulation of mannitol in the infarcted brain tissue.

Two mannitol producing lactic acid bacteria were isolated from pa (green onion)- kimchi, identified and named as Leuconostoc mesenteroides SKP 88 and Leuconostoc citreum SKP 92, respectively. Both isolates grew well at 25-30℃, initial pH 6-8, and 3% and lower NaCl concentration. Both isolates converted fructose into mannitol efficiently when grown on MRS broth containing fructose and glucose. Glucose was used as a carbon source and fructose was used as a precursor for mannitol. Mannitol yields were the highest in MRS broth with 3% fructose and 2% glucose. Shine muscat juice fermentation was done using each isolate as a starter. As fermentation progressed, decrease in pH and increases in titratable acidity and viable counts were observed. L. mesenteroides SKP 88 showed better mannitol conversion ability than L. citreum SKP 92, and shine muscat juice fermented with L. mesenteroides SKP 88 showed the mannitol production of 41.6 g/l at 48 h, and juice fermented with L. citreum SKP 92 showed 23.4 g/l at the same time. Yogurt fermentations showed similar patterns, and yogurt fermented with L. mesenteroides SKP 88 showed the mannitol production of 15.13 g/l. These results showed that both strains are useful as starters for healthy fermented foods with reduced fructose contents.

Leuconostoc mesenteroides can be used to produce mannitol by fermentation, but the mannitol productivity is not high. Therefore, in this study we modified the chromosome of Leuconostoc mesenteroides by genetic methods to obtain high-yield strains for mannitol production. In this study, gene knock-out strains and gene knock-in strains were constructed by a two-step homologous recombination method. The mannitol productivity of the pat gene (which encodes phosphate acetyltransferase) deletion strain (${\Delta}pat::amy$), the fk gene (which encodes fructokinase) deletion strain (${\Delta}fk::amy$) and the stpk gene (which encodes serine-threonine protein kinase) deletion strain (${\Delta}stpk::amy$) were all increased compared to the wild type, and the productivity of mannitol for each strain was 84.8%, 83.5% and 84.1%, respectively. The mannitol productivity of the mdh gene (which encodes mannitol dehydrogenase) knock-in strains (${\Delta}pat::mdh$, ${\Delta}fk::mdh$ and ${\Delta}stpk::mdh$) was increased to a higher level than that of the single-gene deletion strains, and the productivity of mannitol for each was 96.5%, 88% and 93.2%, respectively. The multi-mutant strain ${\Delta}dts{\Delta}ldh{\Delta}pat::mdh{\Delta}stpk::mdh{\Delta}fk::mdh$ had mannitol productivity of 97.3%. This work shows that multi-gene knock-out and gene knock-in strains have the greatest impact on mannitol production, with mannitol productivity of 97.3% and an increase of 24.7% over wild type. This study used the methods of gene knock-out and gene knock-in to genetically modify the chromosome of Leuconostoc mesenteroides. It is of great significance that we increased the ability of Leuconostoc mesenteroides to produce mannitol and revealed its broad development prospects.

염류내성 식물은 염류농도의 변화에 따라 세포내의 삼투압을 유지하기 위한 화합물을 합성하는 기작을 가지고 있는데 이런 화합물은 주로 proline, glycine, betaine, polyols, sugar등으로 체내에 축적함으로서 고농도의 염류에 견디는 것으로 알려져 있다. Betaine은 미생물에서 2단계 반응을 통해 choline에서 합성되는데, 첫단계는 choline dehydrogenase (CDH)에 의해서 촉매되고(Bet A gene), bet B 유전자의 산물인 betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase(BADH)에 의해 수행된다. 본 실험에서는 Bet A, Bet B 유전자를 아그로박테리움에 도입하여 새로운 conjugants 2 종을 획득하였으며 (Agrobacterium tumefaciens MP90/pBet A, Agrobacterium tumefaciens MP90/pBet B), 먼저 재조합된 binary vector가 식물에서 발현 및 형질 전환되는지 여부를 조사하기 위해서 이미 담배에 형질전환을 시켰으며, 형질전환된 담배에서는 ,고농도의 kanamycin배지에서 생장이 가능하였고, PCR에 의하여 NPT II, Bet A, Bet B gene를 조사한 결과 담배 유식물체 모두 band가 형성되어 형질전환체임을 확인할 수 있었다. 인삼에 Beth, BetB gene의 도입은 1M의 mannitol이 함유된 식물호르몬 무첨가 MS 배지에서 단일배 발생방법에 형질전환체를 획득하였으나, 형질전환체의 발생빈도$(12\%)$가 매우 낮았다.

Productivity of a rice plant is greatly influenced by salt stress. One of the ways to achieve tolerance to salinity is to transfer genes encoding protective enzymes from other organisms, such as microorganisms. The bacterial gene, mtlD, which encodes mannitol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase (Mtl-DH), was introduced to the cytosol of a rice plant by an imbibition technique to overproduce mannitol. The germination and survival rate of the imbibed rice seeds were markedly increased by transferring the mtlD gene when it was delivered in either a pBIN19 or pBmin binary vector. When a polymerase chain reaction was performed with the genomic DNAs of the imbibed rice leaves as a template and with mtlD-specific primers, several lines were shown to contain an exogenous mtlD DNA. However, a reverse transcription (RT)-PCR analysis revealed that not all of them showed an expression of this foreign gene. This paper demonstrates that the growth and germination of rice plants transiently transformed with the bacterial gene, mtlD, are enhanced and these enhancements may have resulted from the experssion of the mtlD gene. The imbibition method empolyed in this study fulfills the requirements for testing the function of such a putative gene in vivo prior to the production of a stable transgenic plant.

G. melanogenus로부터 분리한 폴리올 탈수소 효소는 이미 알려진 바의 다른 폴리올 탈수소 효소와는 달리 조효소로서 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol (DPIP)와 같은 인위적 전자 수용체를 필수로 요구하고 있음으로 이 특수 효소의 반응메카니즘을 반응속도론적 연구를 통하여 규명코저 시도하였으며, 폴리올 산화반응에 대한 초기속도 측정실험과 효소반응 산물인 케토산에 의한 저해 실험을 통하여 이 반응은 Ping-Pong Bi-Bi형의 반응메카니즘으로 진행됨을 확인하였다. 따라서 두 기질 즉 포리올로서 D-mannitol 및 전자수용체로 DPIP가 효소에 의하여 반응이 진행될 경우 D-mannitol이 우선 효소와 작용하며 첫 반응산물로서 해당하는 케토산인 D-fructose가 생성될 것으로 기대되며 이 반응이 전체 반응속도를 조절하는 과정일 것이라고 추측하였다.

myo-Inositol (MI)을 대사하여 다른 물질로 전환하는 미생물을 과수원 토양으로부터 분리하였다. 분리균 YB-46은 유일한 탄소원으로 MI이 첨가된 배지에서 성장하였고 16S rDNA 염기서열에 따라 Enterobacter 속의 균주로 추정되었다. Fosmid pCC1FOS 벡터를 사용하여 제조된 거대 유전체 은행으로부터 MI을 미지의 대사 물질로 전환하는 Escherichia coli 형질전환주를 선발하였다. 이로부터 플라스미드를 분리하고 삽입된 유전자의 일부 염기서열을 결정한 결과 336 아미노 잔기로 구성된 myo-inositol dehytrogenase (IolG)를 암호화하는 iolG 유전자가 발견되었다. 분리균 YB-46의 IolG는 E. aerogenes와 Bacillus subtilis의 IolG와 약 50% 수준의 상동성을 보였다. 카르복실 말단에 hexahistidine이 연결되도록 제조한 His-tagged IoG (HtIolG)의 유전자를 재조합 대장균에서 발현하여 균체 파쇄액으로부터 HtIolG를 정제하였다. 정제된 HtIolG는 $45^{\circ}C$와 pH 10.5에서 최대 활성을 보였고 MI과 D-glucose에 대한 활성이 가장 높았으며 D-chiro-inositol, D-mannitol 및 D-xylose에도 90% 이상의 활성을 보였다. 최적 반응조건에서 MI을 기질로 하여 반응 동력학적 계수를 측정한 결과 $K_m$과 $V_{max}$가 1.83 mM과 $0.724{\mu}mol/min/mg$로 확인되었다. HtIolG의 활성은 $Zn^{2+}$에 의해 1.7배 증가하였으며, $Co^{2+}$와 SDS에 의해서는 크게 감소하였다.
