The effects of medium pH and culture temperature on the expression and secretion of inulinase and invertase were investigated with recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. These cells were obtained by transformation of 2$\mu$-based plasmids pYI10 and pYS10 which contain Kluyveromyces marxianus inulinase gene (INU1A) and S. cerevisiae invertase gene (SUC2), respectively, in the downstream of GAL1 promoter. The expression level and localization of inulinase and invertase were not affected significantly by the initial medium pH: secretion efficiencies of inulinase and invertase into the medium were about 90% and 60%, respectively, in the pH ranges of 4.0 to 6.5. However, the expression and secretion of both enzymes were strongly dependent on the culture temperature. The highest expression (7.7 units/mL) and secretion (6.7 units/mL) of inulinase were observed at 28$\circ$C and 30$\circ$C. As a consequence of decreased localization of inulinase in the periplasmic space, the secretion efficiency increased from 68% at 20$\circ$C, to 95% at 35$\circ$C,. The total expression level and secretion efficiency of invertase increased from 19 units/mL and 55% at 20$\circ$C to 25 units/mL and 68% at 35$\circ$C, respectively. Irrespective of the culture temperature, the invertase activity in the cellular fraction (periplasmic space and cytoplasmic fractions) was kept constant at around 33-45%.

The secretion efficiency of a protein in a Sec-type secretion system is mainly determined by an N-terminal signal peptide and its combination with its cognate protein. Five signal peptides, namely, two synthetic Sec-type and three Bacillus licheniformis alpha-amylase-derived signal peptides, were compared for periplasmic expression of the human growth hormone (hGH) in E. coli. Based on in silico predictions on the signal peptides' cleavage efficiencies and their corresponding mRNA secondary structures, a number of amino acid substitutions and silent mutations were considered in the modified signal sequences. The two synthetic signal peptides, specifically designed for hGH secretion in E. coli, differ in their N-terminal positively charged residues and hydrophobic region lengths. According to the mRNA secondary structure predictions, combinations of the protein and each of the five signal sequences could lead to different outcomes, especially when accessibility of the initiator ATG and ribosome binding sites were considered. In the experimental stage, the two synthetic signal peptides displayed complete processing and resulted in efficient secretion of the mature hGH in periplasmic regions, as was demonstrated by protein analysis. The three alpha-amylase-derived signal peptides, however, were processed partially from their precursors. Therefore, to achieve efficient secretion of a protein in a heterologous system, designing a specific signal peptide by using a combined approach of optimizations of the mRNA secondary structure and the signal peptide H-domain and cleavage site is recommended.

본 연구에서는 유기인 화합물인 Paraoxon의 분해를 위하여 재조합 대장균에서 세포내 간극(periplasmic space)으로 분비되는 organophosphorus hydrolase(OPH)의 생산에 대하여 고찰하였다. OPH 생산의 향상을 위하여 성장 배지에 첨가되는 최적의 조건은 1.0 mM isopropyl-${\beta}$-D-thiogalactopytanoside (IPTG), 0.25 mM $Co^{2+}$ 및 0.1 mM ethylenediamine tetraacetate (EDTA) 이었다. 이 조건에서 최대OPH 생산은 $174Unit/L{\cdot}OD$를 나타내었다. 또한 1 mM의 Paraoxon은 OPH에 의하여 완전히 분해되었다. 이러한 연구 결과는 토양 및 수계에 잔류하는 환경독성 유기인 화합물을 제거하는 bioremediation의 수수단으로 활용될 수 있음을 보여주었다.

To investigate the expression and the secretion of heterologous proteins in yeast, we constructed an yeast secretion vector and produced a human secretory protein, .alpha.-1-antitrypsin (.alpha.-1-AT), from yeast cells. The secretion vector pGAT8 was constructed by inserting the signal sequence of yeast acid phosphatase gene (PH05) into the .alpha.1-AT expression vector pGAT6 which contained .alpha.-1-AT cDNA fused to GAL10-CYC1 promotor. The .alpha.-1-AT was produced efficiently in the yeast cells transformed with plasmid pGAT8, which was onfirmed both by the .alpha.-1-AT activity assay and by the immunoblot method using .alpha.-1-AT antibody. We also showed the secretion of .alpha.-1-AT into the culture media and into the periplasmic space by immunoblot.

Zymomonas mobilis 유래 levansucrase 유전자(levU)를 GAL1 promoter 하류에 연결시킨 pYES-levU와 GAL10 promoter 하류에 Kluyveromyces marxianus exoinulinase의 분비 신호서열(INU1 ss) 하류에 연결시킨 pYInu-levU를 각각 구축하였다. 이들 plasmid를 invertase 결손 변이주(suc2-$\Delta$9)인 S. cerevisiae SEY2102에 형질전환시켜 고활성 형질전환주를 선발하였다. 효모 형질전환주를 galactose 함유 배지로 배양한 결과, pYES-levU 함유 형질전환주인 경우 levansucrase의 총활성은 7.17U/ml이고, pYInu-levU 함유 형질전환주인 경우 6.61U/ml에 도달하였다. 발현된 levansucrase 약 50% 정도가 배지와 periplasmic space에 존재하였고, INU1 ss에 의한 분비효율 증가는 관찰할 수 없었다. 또한, 효모에서 발현된 재조합 levansucrase는 과당쇄화된 형으로 생산되는 것으로 보여진다.

Plasmid Achromobacter secretion (PAS) factor is a putative secretion factor that induces the secretion of periplasmic proteins. PAS factor from Vibrio vulnificus was crystallized at 294 K by the hanging drop vapor-diffusion method. It was isolated as a monomer during the purification procedures. The native crystal belongs to the F222 space group with unit cell parameters a = 56.1, b = 74.4, $c=80.0{\AA}$, ${\alpha}={\beta}={\gamma}=90^{\circ}$. The crystal was soaked in cryoprotectant containing 1 M NaBr for 1 h for MAD phasing. The diffraction limit of the Br-MAD data set was $1.9{\AA}$ using synchrotron X-ray irradiation at beam line BL-18B at the Photon Factory, Japan.

In order to induce high levels of protein secretion, we have constructed a recombinant plasmid, designated pBP244, into which was incorporated key components of the type-II See-dependent secretion system, including LepB (signal peptidase), SecA (ATPase), and SecB (chaperone). The biological activities of the LepB, SecA, and SecB components expressed from genes harbored by pBP244 appeared to play their normal roles. In order to evaluate the protein secretion, a pspA (Streptococcus $\underline{p}neumoniae\;\underline{s}urface\;\underline{p}rotein\;\underline{A}$) gene was cloned into pBP244, resulting in pBP438. S. typhimurium harboring pBP438 grown until the stationary phase, secreted a higher level of PspA into the culture supernatants than did the strain harboring pYA3494. The strain harboring pBP438 secreted a supernatant amount 1.71-fold, a periplasmic space amount 1.47-fold, and an outer membrane amount 1.49-fold higher than that of pYA3494. S. typhimurium ${\chi}8554$ kept the $Asd^+$ plasmid pBP244 and pBP438 for 60 generations in LB broth harboring DAP, thereby indicating that pBP244 and pBP438 were quite stable in the Salmonella strain.

Efficient intron deletion with the correct splicing of the two exons of the human proinsulin gene was accomplished by a novel stepwise method using genomic DNA [5]. The two exons were separately amplified in two steps, using the second step primers that incorporated additional bases complementary to the other exon. The fragments were combined in a third PCR reaction. Cloning and sequencing of the PCR product demonstrated the correct splicing of the two exons. Expression studies, using the pET9a vector, revealed a protein band with the correct size with respect to human proinsulin as confirmed by SDS-PAGe and Western blot. Proinsulin concentration was estimated to be around 200 mg per liter culture, expressed as inclusion bodies. Protein secretion to the culture medium and periplasmic space was achieved by cloning in the pEZZ18 vector.

본 연구에서는 lignocellulosic biomass (xylose)의 부가가치를 높이고 효율적인 활용을 위해 xylitol dehydrogenase를 Saccharomyces cerevisiae 숙주세포에서 분비 생산하고자 하였다. 먼저 S. cerevisiae와 Pichia stipitis유래 XYL2 유전자(S.XYL2 and P.XYL2 gene)의 발현 시스템을 구축하기 위하여 GAL10 promoter와 ADH1 promoter 하류에 각각 mating factor ${\alpha}$ ($MF{\alpha}$) signal sequence와 XYL2유전자를 가진 $pGMF{\alpha}-S.XYL2$, $pGMF{\alpha}-P.XYL2$, $pAMF{\alpha}-S.XYL2$와 $pAMF{\alpha}-P.XYL2$ plasmid를 구축하였다. 각각의 plasmid는 S. cerevisiae $SEY2102{\Delta}trp1$ 균주에 형질전환되었고, 생산된 xylitol dehydrogenase의 활성을 조사해 본 결과, GAL10 promoter가 ADH1 promoter보다 XYL2유전자의 발현에 더욱 적합함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 P. stipitis 유래의 xylitol dehydrogenase 효소 활성이 S. cerevisiae 유래의 효소 활성보다 2배 이상 더 높았으며, 활성의 증가를 위해 두 유전자 모두 cofactor로 $NAD^+$에 의존한다는 것을 확인하였다. 재조합 유전자가 가지는 분비서열에 의해 $SEY2102{\Delta}trp1/pGMF{\alpha}-P.XYL2$ 균주에서 xylitol dehydrogenase의 약 77%는 periplasmic space로 분비 발현되었음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 재조합 xylitol dehydrogenase의 효율적인 생산을 위해 탄소원의 영향을 조사해본 결과, glucose 단독보다 glucose와 xylose를 혼합 배양한 경우에서 효소활성이 최대 41% 정도 증가되었음을 확인 할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 최적화한 발현 시스템 및 배양 조건은 xylose 뿐만 아니라 다양한 biomass를 이용한 유용물질 생산을 위한 관련 단백질의 발현 분비시스템 구축 및 대량생산에도 응용될 수 있을 것이라 생각된다.
