Brevibacterium ammoniagenes 염색체상에서 phosphotrans-ferase system의 glucose permease를 코드하는 ptsG 유전자와 인접한 지역의 염기서열을 결정한 결돠 1,467 nucleo-tides로 구성된 1개의 open reading frame(ORF)이 발견되었고 이것은 489 아미노산 잔기로 구성되는 단백질을 코드하는 것으로추정된다. 이러한 ORF로부터 추정된 단백질의 아미노산 잔기배열을 분석한 결과 30S 리보좀을 구성하는 단백질중의 하나인 S1과 상동성이 높은 것으로 나타났는데 특히 Mycobacterium tuberculosis M. leprae와 Srepto-myces coelicola의 S1단백질의 아미노산 잔기배열과 각각 83%, 74%m, 77%의 매우 높은 상동성을 보였으며 Escherichia coli의 것과도 약 40%의 상동성을 보였다 이로보아 B.ammoniagenes 염색체상에서 ptsG 유전자와 인접한 지역에 존재하는 ORF는 리보좀 단백질 S1의 유전자로 추정된다. 또한 이들은 염색체상에서 동일한 방향으로 판독되며 S1의 유전자가 ptsG의 위 지역으로 266 nucleotides 떨어져 존재하고 있다.

Genetic determinant for the secondary metabolism was studied in heterologous expression in Streptomyces lividans TK-24 using Streptomyces griseus ATCC 10137 as a donor strain. Chromosomal DNA of S. griseus was ligated into the high-copy number Streptomyces shuttle plasmid, pWHM3, and introduced into S. lividans TK-24. A plasmid clone with 4.3-kb BamHI DNA of S. griseus (pMJJ201) was isolated by detecting for stimulatory effect on actinorhodin production by visual inspection. The 4.3-kb BamHI DNA was cloned into pWHM3 under the control of the strong constitutive ermEp promoter in both directions (pMJJ202); ermEp promoter-mediated transcription for coding sequence reading right to left: pMJJ203; ermEp promoter-mediated transcription for coding sequence reading left to right) and reintroduced into S. lividans TK-24. The production of actinorhodin was markedly stimulated due to introduction of pMJJ202 on regeneration agar. The introduction of pMJJ202 also stimulated production of actinorhodin and undecylproidigiosin in submerged culture employing the actinorhodin production medium. Introduction of pMJJ203 resulted in a marked decrease of production of the two pigments. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the 4.3-kb region revealed three coding sequences: two coding sequences reading left to right, ORF1 and ORF2, one coding sequence reading right to left, ORF3. Therefore, it was suggested that the ORF3 product was responsible for the stimulation of antibiotic production. The C-terminal region of ORF3 product showed a local alignment with Myb-related transcriptional factors, which implicated that the ORF3 product might be a novel DNA-binding protein related to the regulation of secondary metabolism in Streptomyces.

In addition to the five well-characterized genes of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), this virus contains a sixth open reading frame (ORF6) that encodes a 4.8 kDa protein. TMV ORF6 overlaps the ORFs encoding the 30 kDa movement protein and the adjacent 17.5 kDa capsid protein. Although the 4.8 kDa protein could not be detected in vivo, alteration of the AUG codons of this ORF resulted in a mutant virus that attenuated the virulence of the mutated TMV in Nicotiana benthamiana, but not N. tabacum (tobacco). These sequence changes did not affect either the replication or movement of the mutated TMV. Expression of TMV ORF6 from the virus expression vector Potato virus X (PVX) intensified the virulence of this virus in N. benthmiana, but not tobacco, while expression of TMV ORF6 from the virus expression vector Tobacco rattle virus enhanced the pathogenicity observed in both N. benthamima and tobacco. Thus, the TMV ORF6 is a host- and virus-specific. virulence factor. However, two separate assays indicated that the TMV 4.8 kDa protein was not a suppression of RNA silencing. A fusion protein formed between the TMV 4.8 kDa protein and the green fluorescent protein was expressed from the PVX vector and localized to plasmodesmata. Possible roles of the 4.8 kDa protein in pathogenicity will be discussed

The $\alpha$1,6-mannosyltransferase encoded by Saccharomyces cerevisiae OCH1 plays a key role for the outer chain initiation of the N-linked oligosaccharides. A search for Hansenula polymorpha genes homologous to S. cerevisiae OCHI (ScOCH1) has revealed seven open reading frames (ORF100, ORF142, ORF168, ORF288, ORF379, ORF576, ORF580). All of the seven ORFs are predicted to be a type II integral membrane protein containing a transmembrane domain near the amino-terminal region and has a DXD motif, which has been found in the active site of many glycosyltransferases. Among this seven-membered OCH1 gene family of H. polymorpha, we have carried out a functional analysis of H. polymorpha ORF168 (HpOCH2) showing the highest identity to ScOCH1. Inactivation of this protein by disruption of corresponding gene resulted in several phenotypes suggestive of cell wall defects, including hypersensitivity to hygromycin B and sodium deoxycholate. The structural analysis of N-glycans synthesized in HpOCH2-disrupted strain (Hpoch2Δ) and the in vitro $\alpha$1,6-mannosyltransferase activity assay strongly indicate that HpOch2p is a key enzyme adding the first $\alpha$1,6-mannose residue on the core glycan Man$_{8}$GlcNAc$_2$. The Hpoch2Δ was further genetically engineered to synthesize a recombinant glycoprotein with the human compatible N-linked oligosaccharide, Man$_{5}$GlcNAc$_2$, by overexpression of the Aspergillus saitoi $\alpha$1,2-mannosidase with the 'HDEL” ER retention signal.gnal.

Nucleotide sequence extending 2,3-dihydroxybiphenyl 1,2-dioxygenase gene (pcbC) and 2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6-phenylhexa-2,4-dienoate hydrolase gene (pcbD) of Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12 was previously analyzed and the two genes were present in the order of pcbD-pcbC preceded by a promoter from Pseudomonas sp. DJ-12. In this study, a 3.8-kb nucleotide sequence located downstream of the pcbC gene was analyzed to have three open reading frames (ORFs) that are designated as orf1, pcbE and orf2 genes. All of the ORFs were preceded by each ribosome-binding sequence of 5-GGAXA-3 (X=G or A). However, no promoter-like sequence and transcription terminator sequence were found in the analyzed region, downstream of pcbC gene. Therefore, the gene cluster appeared to be present in the order of pcbD-pcbC-orf1-pcbE-orf2 as an operon, which is unique organization characterized so far in biphenyl- and PCB-degrading bacteria. The orf1 gene was composed of 1,224 base pairs which can encode a polypeptide of molecular weight 44,950 containing 405 amino acid residues. A deduced amino acid sequence of the orf1 gene product exhibited 21-33％ identity with those of indole dioxygenase and phenol hydroxylase components. The pcbE gene was composed of 783 base pairs encoding 2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate hydratase involved in the 4-chlorobiphenyl catabolism. The orf2 gene was composed of 1,017 base pairs encoding a polypeptide of molecular weight 37,378 containing 338 amino acid residues. A deduced amino acid sequence of the orf2 gene product exhibited 31％ identity with that of a nitrilotriacetate monooxygenase component.

Diacylglycerol Kinase (DGK)는 E. coli 및 진핵세포에서의 신호전달에 관여하며, 또한 미생물에서 생리적 자극에 따라 다른 발현 양상을 보이는 것으로 밝혀져 있다. Bacillus subtilis에서 이 유전자에 대한 환경에서의 자극 신호들, 즉 pH 변화, 삼투압의 변화 및 온도의 변화에 따른 발현양상을 연구하였다. 이미 동정된 dgk locus의 KpnI-HindIII의 0.45 kb의 DNA fragment를 probe로 하여 Dot blot, Northern blot analysis를 통해 발현량을 조사해 본 결과 dgk 유전자는 pH변화, 삼투압의 변화 및 온도의 변화에 대응하여 발현되는 유전자임을 알 수 있었다. 특히 낮은 pH, 고 삼투압, 및 저온에서 dgk 유전자의 발현량이 많아짐을 확인 할 수 있었다. Northern hybridization에서 약 2.5kb의 mRNA가 관찰되었다. dgk gene의 ORF size는 약 0.4 kb로 관찰된 transcript size와는 일치하지 않았다. 따라서 Streptococcus mutans의 dgk gene과 마찬가지로 B. subtilis의 dgk 유전자도 polycistronic mRNA로 발현되는 것을 추정할 수 있었으며, 염색체상의 dgk gene에서 상류의 ORF2까지의 크기가 약 2.5 kb로 관찰된 mRNA size와 동일하였다. dgk gene 상류의 ORF2영역의 0.6 kb의 DNA fragment를 probe로 하여 northern blot hybridization을 수행한 결과, 2.5 kb의 mRNA가 관찰되었으며 발현되는 형태도 dgk probe를 이용한 결과와 동일하였다. 따라서 dgk gene은 상류부위의 ORF2 gene과 operon을 형성하여 polycistronic mRNA로 전사되는 것으로 판단된다.

From the extensive screening for small cryptic plasmid among about 23 lactic acid bacteria (LAB), 2.4 kb of cryptic plasmid was isolated from Lactobacillus farciminis strain KCTC 3681 and named as pLF24. The plasmid pLF24 was a circular molecule of 2,396 base-pairs in length with a G+C content of 38%. Two protein-coding sequences could be predicted. ORF1 and ORF2 showed homologies to plasmids of gram-positive bacteria. The replication protein coded by ORF2 and the plus origin, were similar to replication regions of other gram-positive bacteria as shown in plasmids such as pLH2, pLS141-1 and pLC2. The nucleotide sequence of pLF24 was deposited into Genbank data base with an accession number of EU429343. The newly isolated plasmid can be used for construction of shuttle vector in Lactobacillus bacteria.

The sequence of 3,221 nucleotides immediately adjacent to rpsA gene encoding 30S ribosomal protein S1 of Brevibacterium ammoniagenes was determined. A putative open reading frame (ORF) of 2,670 nucleotides for a polypeptide of 889 amino acid residues and a TAG stop codon was found, which is located at a distance of 723 nucleotides upstream from rpsA gene with same translational direction. The deduced amino acid sequence of the ORF was found to be highly homologous to the DNA polymerase I of Streptomyces griseus (75.48％), Rhodococcus sp. ATCC 15963 (56.69％), Mycobacterium tuberculosis (55.46％) and Mycobacterium leprae (53.99％). It was suggested that the predicted product of the ORF is a DNA polymerase I with three functional domains. Two domains of 5 → 3 exonuclease and DNA polymerase are highly conserved with other DNA polymerase I, but 3 → 5 exonuclease domain is less conserved.
