Plasmid pLEX3 isolated from the recombinant cosmid library of Zoogloea ramigera 115 was found to be responsible for the restoration of the rugose colony phenotype. To confirm the essential region responsible for the complementation, subclones were constructed from plasmid pLEX3 and transformed into mutant strain Z. ramigera 115SLR. The recombinant plasmids pLEX10 and pLEX11 were shown to complement the slime-forming property of Z. ramigera 115SLR. In a compositional analysis of the exopolysaccharides from Z. ramigera 115, Z. ramigera 115SLR, and Z. ramigera 115SLR harboring plasmid pLEX11, the exopolysaccharides showed a similar composition with glucose, galactose, and side chain groups. The complete nucleotide sequence of the 3.25kb genocim DNA insert in plasmid pLEX11 was determined and its analysis identified two open reading frames which could encode two proteins. The gene products derived form the two open reading frames were confirmed by and in vivo transcription using a T7-RNA polymerase. The ORF1 produced a 30 kDa protein, whereas the ORF2 was found responsible for the complementation of the morphological mutation and produced a 14 kDa protein. An in vivo gene expression of plasmid pTEX10 showed another open reading frame encoding a 50 kDa protein. The gene products form ORF1 and ORF2 are regarded as novel proteins which do not show any homology with other proteins.

Lactobacillus casei SM-M1 의 플라스미드로부터 phospho-$\beta$-galactosidase gene 을 갖는 DNA 를 E. coli 에 클로닝한 pPLac15(13kb) 의 재조합 플라스미드를 제조하였다.(15). pPLac15 DNA 를 분리하여 제한효소로 처리하여 제한효소 지도를 작성하였다. Phospho-$\beta$-galactosidase 유전자의 발현을 높이기 위하여 lac promoter 를 가진 pUC18 의 PstI 위치에 클닝하여 pPLac18 을 제조하였으며, 이것을 다시 EcoRI 으로 절단하여 pUC 18 에 클로닝하여 얻은 pPLac23 (7.6 kb) 를 얻었다. Phospho-$\beta$-galactosidase 효소활성은 pPLac23 의 형질전환주인 E. coli SW-23 에서는 pPLac15 를 가진 형질전환주인 E. coli SW-15 보다 약 1.8 배의 효소의 활성을 나타내었으며 pPLac18 을 가진 E. coli SW-18 보다는 약간 높은 활성을 나타내었다.

The objective of the present study was to investigate cloning, expression, and functions of the recombinant protein, Siva1. Siva1 gene was synthesized by RT-PCR from HCT116 cells. Plasmids were cleaved with the restriction endonuclease, BamH1/Sal1 and products were connected to pQE30, which underwent cleavage by BamH1/Sal1. The recombinant plasmid, pQE30-Siva1, was identified after digestion with restriction endonucleases followed by transformation into E. coli M15. Expression of Siva1 was induced by IPTG and identified by SDS-PAGE following purification with affinity chromatography. The results showed that size of Siva1 was 12 kDa, consistent with the molecular weight of the His-Siva1 fusion protein. Functional test demonstrated that Siva1 significantly inhibited the invasion and migration of HCT116 cells. It may thus find clinical application for control of cancers.

A novel lipase gene, Lip-1420, was isolated from a metagenomic library constructed from reed marsh from Mt. Jumbong in Korea, comprising 112,500 members of recombinant plasmids. The DNA sequence of Lip-1420-subclone (5,513 bp) was found to contain at least 11 ORFs according to the GenBank database. The ORF-3 gene was inserted into the pET21a plasmid containing the C-terminal 6-His tag and transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3) to express the recombinant lipase protein. Lip-1420 was purified using a fast protein liquid chromatography system. The gene was registered in GenBank (MH628529). The values of Km and Vmax were determined as 0.268 mM and 1.821 units, respectively, at 40℃ and pH 8.0, using p-nitrophenyl palmitate as the substrate. This lipase belongs to family IV taxonomically because it has conserved HGGG and GDSAG motifs in the constitutive amino acid sequence. According to the predicted structural model, the binding sites are represented by residues H78, G81, D150, S151, A152, V181, and D236. Finally, Lip-1420 showed triolein selectivity for methanolysis between triolein (18:1) and tristearin (18:0) substrates. Further study of the selective mechanism and structure-function relationship of this new lipase could be useful for more practical applications.

Recently, poly-γ-glutamic acid synthetase A (pgsA) has been applied to display exogenous proteins on the surface of Lactobacillus casei or Lactococcus lactis, which results in a surface-displayed component of bacteria. However, the ability of carrying genes encoded by plasmids and the expression efficiency of recombinant bacteria can be somewhat affected by the longer gene length of pgsA (1,143 bp); therefore, a truncated gene, pgsA, was generated based on the characteristics of pgsA by computational analysis. Using murine IL-10 as an exogenous gene, recombinant Lactobacillus plantarum was constructed and the capacity of the surface-displayed protein and functional differences between exogenous proteins expressed by these strains were evaluated. Surface expression of IL-10 on both recombinant bacteria with anchorins and the higher expression levels in L. plantarum-pgsA'-IL-10 were confirmed by western blot assay. Most importantly, up-regulation of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ, and the nuclear transcription factor NF-κB p65 in RAW264.7 cells after stimulation with Poly(I:C) or LPS was exacerbated after co-culture with L. plantarum-pgsA. By contrast, IL-10 expressed by these recombinant strains could reduce these factors, and the expression of these factors was associated with recombinant strains that expressed anchorin (especially in L. plantarum-pgsA'-IL-10) and was significantly lower compared with the anchorin-free strains. These findings indicated that exogenous proteins could be successfully displayed on the surface of L. plantarum by pgsA or pgsA', and the expression of recombinant bacteria with pgsA' was superior compared with bacteria with pgsA.

본 연구에서는 효모염색체내에 다양한 유전자 발현 cassette를 도입하기 위해 Cre/loxP system을 가진 repeated yeast integrative plasmid (R-YIp)를 구축하였다. R-YIp는 반복적으로 형질전환체를 선별할 수 있는 selective marker (CgTRP1)와 loxP 서열, 그리고 integration을 위한 목적서열을 함유하고 있어 같은 염색체의 동일한 위치에 여러 개의 유전자 발현 cassette를 도입하는 것이 가능하다. 따라서 xylan/xylose 대사에 관련된 endoxylanase (XYLP), ${\beta}$-xylosidase (XYLB), xylose reductase (GRE3) 그리고xylitol dehydrogenase (XYL2)의 효모염색체내에 도입을 시도하였다. 먼저 XYLP, XYLB, GRE3그리고 XYL2 유전자의 효율적인 발현을 위한 promoter를 선별하기 위해 pGMF-GENE과 pAMF-GENE plasmid를 구축하였고, 각 유전자들의 발현에 GAL10 promoter가 적합함을 확인하였다. 다음으로 GAL10p-GENE-GAL7t cassette를 가진 pRS-GENE plasmid (R-YIp)를 구축하여, 반복적 integration 과정과 selective marker의 제거를 통해 각각의 R-YIps를 효모 7번염색체에 순차적으로 도입하였다. R-YIp system을 통해 효모염색체내에 도입된 유전자들은 모두 안정적으로 발현되었고, 활성형의 재조합효소를 생산함을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 다수의 외래유전자를 효모염색체내 도입함에 있어 selective marker와 숙주세포 선택의 한계를 R-YIp system을 통해 어느 정도 극복할 수 있을 것이라 기대한다.

The expression of a fusion protein comprised of the B. thuringiensis crystal protein, Cry1Ac, and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) in Escherichia coli XLl-blue was examined. Three recombinant plasmids were transformed into E. coli XL1-blue and named as ProAc/Ec, MuEGFP/Ec and ProMu-EGFP/Ec, respectively. All transformants were observed by light and fluorescence microscopy at mid-log phase. The expression in E. coli transformants, ProMu-EGFP/Ec and MuEGFP/Ec, exhibited bright enough fluorescence to be observed. Furthermore, ProMu-EGFP/Ec produced fluorescent inclusions, which may have been recombinant crystals between EGFP and Cry1Ac while MuEGFP/Ec expressed soluble EGFP in cell. In SDS-PAGE, ProAc/Ec had 130 kDa crystal protein band and MuEGFP/Ec had thick 27 kDa EGFP band. However, ProMu-EGFP/Ec had about 150 kDa fusion protein band. Accordingly, these results indicated that a fusion protein between the B. thuringiensis crystal protein and a foreign protein under the lacZ promoter was successfully expressed as granular structure in E. coli. It is suggested that the E. coli expression system by N-terminal fusion of B. thuringiensis crystal protein may be useful as excellent means for fusion expression and characterization of B. thuringiensis fusion crystal protein.
