  • A bacterial strain was isolated from seawater to screen for phytase activities. A colony had the highest activity and was identified as an Escherichia coli strain. Using primers derived from E. coli acid phosphatase appA sequence, we cloned a 1,495 bp DNA fragment connected with the pGEM-T vector. It was over-expressed under lac promoter combined with its native promoter in E. coli $DH5\alpha$. The expression of the phytase gene occurred during late exponential growth and the intracellular phytase production was 16.9 units/ml. The yield of recombinant phytate was 412-fold higher than that of wild type E. coli K13.

  • In order to study the molecular mechanism of $\gamma$-aminobutyric acid (GABA) production in plants, we cloned and sequenced a partial glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) cDNA from the Arabidopsis thaliana cDNA library, using primers targeted at highly conserved sequences of the petunia GAD gene. The cDNA fragment was inserted into TA cloning vector with T7 promoter and the recombinant plasmid obtained was used to transform E. coli. The plasmid DNA purified from the transformed E. coli was digested with EcoRI and the presence of the insert was confirmed. Nucleotide sequence analysis showed that the fragment is a partial Arabidopsis thaliana GAD gene and that the sequence showed 98% and 78% identity to the region of the putative Arabidopsis thaliana GAD sequences deposited in GenBank, Accession nos: U46665 and U10034, respectively. The amino acid sequence deduced from the partial Arabidopsis thaliana GAD gene showed 99% and 91% identities to the GAD sequences deduced from the genes of the U46665 and U10034, respectively. The partial cDNA sequence determined may facilitate the study of the molecular mechanism of GABA metabolism in plants.

  • In order to investigate the molecular mechanism of $\gamma$-aminobutyric acid (GABA) production in lactic acid bacteria, we cloned a glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) gene from Lactobacillus plantarum using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). One PCR product DNA was obtained and inserted into a TA cloning vector with a T7 promoter. The recombinant plasmid was used to transform E. coli. The insertion of the product was con­firmed by EcoRI digestion of the plasmid purified from the transformed E. coli. Nucleotide sequence analysis showed that the insert is a full-length Lactobacillus plantarum GAD and that the sequence is $100\%$ and $72\%$ identical to the regions of Lactobacillus plantarum GAD and Lactococcus lactis GAD sequences deposited in GenBank, accession nos: NP786643 and NP267446, respectively. The amino acid sequence deduced from the cloned Lactobacillus plantarum GAD gene showed $100\%$ and $68\%$ identities to the GAD sequences deduced from the genes of the NP786643 and NP267446, respectively. To express the GAD protein in E. coli, an expression vector with the GAD gene (pkk/GAD) was constructed and used to transform the UT481 E. coli strain and the expression was confirmed by analyzing the enzyme activity. The Lactobacillus plantarum GAD gene obtained may facilitate the study of the molecular mechanisms regulating GABA metabolism in lactic acid bacteria.

  • Catechol 2, 3-dioxygenase (C230) catalyses the oxidative ring cleavage of catechol to 2-hydroxymuconic semialdehyde. This is one of the key reactions in the metabolism of the widespresd pollutant aniline. We have cloned a gene encoding C230 from cells of the aniline degrading bacteria, Pseudomonas acidovorance KCTC2494 strain and expressed in E. coli, A 11.3-kilobase Sau3A partial digested DNA fragment from KCTC2494 was cloned into phagemid vector pBluescript and designated as pLP201. The C230 gene was mapped to a 2.8-kb region, and the derection of transcription was determined. The cloned C230 gene contains its own promoter which can be recognized and employed by E. coli transcriptional apparatus. C230 activities of subclones were identified by enzyme assay and activity staining. The T7 RNA promoter/polymerase system and maxicell analysis showed that a polypeptide with Mw of 35 kDa is the C230 gene product.

  • ADRP 유전자가 24개월령 한우 등심조직에서 발현량이 급격히 증가하여 30개월령 등심조직에서는 발현량이 다소 감소하는 발현양상 분석결과로부터 이전 연구에서는 ADRP 유전자를 한우 성장단계 특이발현 유전자로 선정하였다. 본 연구에서는 ADRP 유전자의 발현조절 기작을 분석하기 위하여 promoter 영역을 포함하는 ADRP 유전자 전체영역을 cloning하였으며, 구조를 분석하고 promoter의 특성을 조사하였다. 한우 ADRP cDNA 단편을 probe로 합성하여 Southern blot 분석을 실시한 결과로부터 ADRP 유전자가 한우 genome 상에서 single copy로 존재하고 크기는 대략 12 kb에 해당하는 것을 확인하였다. Genomic DNA library screening을 실시하여 promoter 영역을 포함하는 ADRP 전체 유전자에 해당하는 clone을 확보하고 HwADRPg-1으로 명명한 후, 염기서열을 결정하고 분석하였다. 한우 ADRP 유전자, HwADRPg-1은 8개의 exon과 7개의 intron으로 구성되어 있으며 모든 exon-intron 경계는 GT/AG 원칙을 따르고 있었고, coding 영역은 7,633 bp로서 6개의 intron에 의해 7개의 exon으로 나누어져 있었다. HwADRPg-1의 promoter 영역에서는 TATAA box는 발견되지 않았으며, -70 위치에 근육 특이적 transcription activator인 Myo G 서열이 존재하였고, -629 위치에는 지방세포의 분화를 유도하는 것으로 알려진 C/EBP (CCAAT/enhancer binding protein) 서열이 존재하였다. HwADRPg-1의 조절영역에 있는 Myo G factor가 근육조직에서 ADRP 유전자가 발현될 수 있도록 하며, 근육의 발달정도를 신호로써 감지하여 근육조직에서 성장단계에 따른 ADRP 유전자의 발현량을 조절할 것으로 추정되고, 다른 종류의 지방세포 특이적인 전사인자 및 지방세포의 분화정도를 신호로 인식하는 전사단계 조절인자를 조사하기 위하여 promoter 영역의 추가분석이 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.

  • 골다공증 치료제로 이용되고 있는 hPTH (human parathyroid hormome)는 체내의 혈중 칼슘 농도를 조절하는 인간의 부갑상선 호르몬이다. 본 연구에서는 retrovirus vector system을 이용하여 hPTH를 효율적으로 생산하는 PFF (porcine fetal fibroblast) 돼지 세포를 구축하고자 하였다. hPTH 유전자는 갑상선 암 환자로부터 적출한 부갑상선 조직의 RNA를 주형으로 RT-PCR을 수행하여 cloning하였으며, 이 유전자가 RSV promoter 통제하에 발현되게끔 design된 retrovirus vector를 구축하였다.
