PAP-I cDNA was synthesized from total RNA of Phytolacca americana leaves by RT-PCR, and then subcloned to recombinant vector pBluescript II SK-. Using PCR with primers designed in our laboratory, we could get the 9 deletion mutant PAP-I cDNA fragments. The first of the fragments was deleted by 66bp from immature N-terminal and then the rest were deleted by 90bp sequentially. Sequentially deletion mutant PAP-I cDNAs were inserted to pAc55M, on down-stream of gall promoter. Recombinant pAc55M was transformed to yeast cells, psy1 and the cells were spreaded on SC_urn-/glucose plate media. Colonies on SC_ura-/glucose plate were streaked on the same position of SC_ura-/glucose and SC_ura-/galactose plate, and we selected colonies growing on both plates, which carry non-cytotoxic deleted mutant PAP-I cDNA. We selected 4 deletion mutant PAP-I cDNAs which have not cytotoxicity.

본 연구는 보리 씨앗에 존재하는 리보솜 불활성화 단백질(RIP) 의 삼차원 구조를 X-선 결정학 방법을 이용하여 밝히고, 그 결과로 분자 차원에서 기능을 이해하는 것을 목적으로 하고있다. 리보솜불활성화 단백질은 N-glucosidase 반응을 통하여 단백질 합성을 저해하기 때문에 세포를 죽일 수 있다. 따라서 암세포만을 특정적으로 인식하는 다른 물질과 결합시키면 암세포만을 특정적으로 죽일 수 있는 면역독소로 이용될 수 있다. 또, 최근에는 항바이러스의 작용을 함이 밝혀져 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 단백질 삼차원 구조 규명을 위해서는 여러가지 단계가 있는데 지난 번 과제까지 성공적으로 리보솜 불활성화 단백질의 대량 분리와 X-선 결정학의 필수 요건 좋은 결정을 길렀고, 이번에는 구조 해석을 위해 꼭 해결해야하는 위상문제를 극복하기 위하여 여러가지 실험을 진행하였다. 우선, 비슷한 구조인 피마자씨에서 분리한 Ricin의 A-체인과 미국자리공 잎에서 분리한 Pokeweed antiviral protein의 삼차원 분자좌표를 이용하여 분자치환법으로 위상문제 해결을 시도하였다. Ricin 의 A-체인을 이용하였을 때 분자의 위치가 정확히 찾아지지 않았고, 다른 모델인 Pokeweed antiviral protein을 이용하여 X-PLOR 프로그램내의 PC refinement법으로 분자치환을 시도하였다. Euler각도로 (187.37, 22.5, 311.94) 의 회전해 (Rotation solution) 를 가지고 있었고, 이러한 해에 맞추어서 분자를 돌려둔 후, 이동해 (Transaltion solution) 을 구해서 그 위치 (Orientation) 로 분자를 이동하였다. 이 때 R값은 53.9 % (8.0 - 3.5$\AA$) 이였고, 부분좌표 (Fractional coorcdinate) 에서는 0.102, 0.000, 0.261 이고, 직교좌표 (Orthogonal coorclinate) 에서는 4.616, 0.000, 13.167 의 결과를 얻었다.

An antiviral protein (CAP30) with ribosome-inactivating activity was purified from the leaves of Chenopodium album L. through ammonium sulfate precipitation and column chromatography using S-Sepharose, Blue-Sepharose, FPLC Suprose12 HR, and FPLC Mono-S. The molecular wight of CAP30 was estimated to be 30kD. CAP30 was thermostable, maintaing its activity even after incubation at $70^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, and was stable in the pH range of 6 to 9. In a cell-free in vitro translation system using rabbit reticulocyte lysate, protein synthesis was inhibited by the addition of CAP30 with an $IC_{50}$ of 2.26pM. The comparison of N-terminal amino acid sequences of this protein with known ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs) revealed that it had some sequence homology with PAP-S and PAP-R from pokeweed (Phytolacca americana)and dodecandrin from P. dodecandra, but had no sequence homology with RIPs from other plants belonging to different orders. The mosaic symptoms on tobacco leaves caused by cucumber mosaic virus infection was completely inhibited by 100 ng/ml of the pure CAP30 protein.

The antiviral activity of CAP30 from Chenopodium album, a type1 ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP), was examined against 5 different plant viral pathogens, and its activity against Tobacco mosaic virus was compared to those of well known antiviral proteins such as Pokeweed Antiviral protein from leaves and seeds. When the inoculating concentration of Tobacco mosaic virus was varied from 0.4 to $400{\mu}g/ml$, it was observed that CAP30 at the concentration of $1{\mu}g/ml$ suppressed the viral infection of C. amaranthicolor and C. quinoa almost completely up to $40{\mu}g/ml$ Tobacco mosaic virus. Results from the assays for the inhibitions of in vitro translation of rabbit reticulocyte lysate and the suppression of Tobacco mosaic virus infection ($10{\mu}g/ml$) to C. quinoa indicated that CAP30 is a strong inhibitor of protein synthesis and virus infection. The infection of several viruses other than Tobacco mosaic virus to host plants were also inhibited by $5{\mu}g/ml$ CAP30, suggesting that a gene encoding CAP30 can be used to develop transgenic virus-resistant plants.

A murine monoclonal antibody (mAb) specific for the envelope glycoprotein gp120 of human immunodeficiency virus type-I (HIV -1) was chemically coupled to pokeweed antiviral protein (PAP) from Phytolacca americana. The immunotoxin was purified by FPLC using S200 colum. The purified immunotoxin efficiently bound to HIV-infected T cells as evidenced by fluorescenceactivated cell sorter analysis. The immunotoxin selectively killed human T lymphoid lines infected with $HIV-1_{IIIB}$ at less than 250 pM of the immunotoxin cells, while PAP or mAb alone did not have any significant effect on infected cells. The uninfected control T cell lines were not affected. Human cells infected with HIV-2 or other HIV-1 strains were not killed, suggesting that the killing depends completely on the antibody used for coupling. These in vitro results suggest that the PAP-mAb conjugate may be used to selectively remove cells expressing viral antigens from individuals infected with HIV.

In order to transform pokeweed antiviral protein cDNA to tobacco plant, total RNA was extracted from Phytolacca americana. PAP-II cDNA was synthesized from purified total RNA via RT-PCR and subcloned to recombinant vector pBluescript II SK-. 10 deletion mutant PAP-II cDNA fragments which were sequentially deleted from N-terminal by 90bp were synthesized from PAP-II cDNA except leading frame by PCR with primers designed in our laboratory. To select non-cytotoxic clone, pAc55M was constructed with yeast expression vector pAc55 and multicloning site(MCS). Sequentially deleted mutant PAP-II cDNAs were cloned on downstream of gall promoter of pAc55M. 6 non-cytotoxic deletion mutant PAP-II cDNA were selected. Selected cDNAs were cloned into plant expression vector pKGT101BH for transformation of these clones to plant through Agrobacterium tumefacience. After cloning, recombinant pKGT101BH carrying deleted mutant PAP-IIcDNA were transformed to Nicotiana tabacum cv. NC567. Transformed tobacco plants cultured on shooting and rooting media were transfered to green-house. About four weeks later, these plants were infected with physically infection using carborandum with PVY-VN strain. After 4 weeks, plants resistant to virus were selected , and seeds of these plants were gathered. Southern blot hybridization showed deleted fragments by 220bp and 420bp, so resistant ability of these plants is due to mutant PAP-II cDNA.

Pokeweed antiviral protein II (PAP-II) encoding cDNA was synthesized by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) from Phytolacca american a leaf. The PAP-II cDNA fragment of 974bp was subcloned to pBluescript II SK- SmaI site and the inserted PAP-II cDNA fragment was sequenced by dideoxy sequencing method. The number of nucleotides of PAP-II cDNA coding region containing start and stop codon was 933bp. To develop a virus-resistant tobacco plant, PAP-II cDNA fragment was inserted to pKGT101B and the insertion of PAP-II cDNA fragment was confirmed by restriction enzyme analysis and colony PCR.

현삼의 기내배양에서 낮은 농도의 2,4-D(0.01, 0.1mg/l) 와 TDZ(0.01, 0.1, 2.0mg/l)이 조합처리시 shoot 분화가 좋았으나, 2,4-D의 농도가 높아질수록 TDZ과 조합처리시 shoot 분화가 저조 하였다. 형질전환 확인을 위한 PCR 분석에서 선발표지 유전자로 사용되는 NPT II gene의 확인하였는데 형질전환되지 않은 식물체에서는 나타나지 않는 DNA 절편이 형질전환 식물체에서 나타났으며 kanamycin 50 mg/ l 첨가된 배지에서 선발된 식물체에서 NPT II gene(700bp)이 plant genome 안으로 삽입되었음을 확인하였다. 형질전환 식물체의 항균활성 검정에서는 Asperigillus awamori에 대해 대조구 식물체와 같이 항균성이 없는 것으로 나타났으나 항바이러스성 단백질인 PAP가 도입된 식물체에서는 $IC_{50}$의 값이 Asperigillus awamori에 대해서 각각 $320\;{\mu}g/ml$ 과 $300{\mu}g/ml$, C. herbarum에 대해서도 $IC_{50}$ 값이 $80{\mu}g/ml,\;100{\mu}g/ml$로 높은 항균성을 나타내었다. 형질전환 식물체와 형질전환되지 않은 식물체를 대상으로 SDS-PAGE를 수행하여 본 결과 감염된 형질전환되지 않은 잎과 감염되지 않은 잎에서는 나타나지 않는 30kDa의 분자량을 가지는 새로운 band가 PAP유전자에 의하여 형질전환된 식물체에서 각각 확인되었다. Asperigillus awamori의 경우에 PAP 형질전환체의 단백질을 첨가한 경우 모두 포자가 발아가 억제 되었고 균사생장이 지연되었으며 균사가 생장되더라도 포자와 생장하는 균사가 투명하여졌으며 생장하는 균사의 굵기도 가늘어지는 특성을 나타내었다. 병원균 접종 후 생육조사에 의하면 형질전환 식물체가 초장과 지상부, 지하부의 생체 중에서 모두 형질전환 되지 않은 식물체보다 다소 높게 나타났다. Fusarium에 의한 전형적인 병징인 뿌리썩음 병과 유관속 시들음 증상이 형질전환 되지 않은 식물체에서 병징의 scale은 3.2와 3.0으로 나타나는 반면 형질전환된 식물체에서는 2.0과 2.5으로 비교적 낮게 나타났다.
