Simultaneous isomerisation and fermentation (SIF) of xylose and simultaneous isomerisation and cofermentation (SICF) of glucose-xylose mixture was carried out by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the presence of a compatible xylose isomerase. The enzyme converted xylose to xylulose and S. cerevisiae fermented xylulose, along with glucose, to ethanol at pH 5.0 and $30^{\circ}C$. This compatible xylose isomerase from Candida boidinii, having an optimum pH and temperature range of 4.5-5.0 and $30-35^{\circ}C$ respectively, was partially purified and immobilized on an inexpensive, inert and easily available support, hen egg shell. An immobilized xylose isomerase loading of 4.5 IU/(g initial xylose) was optimum for SIF of xylose as well as SICF of glucose-xylose mixture to ethanol by S. cerevisiae. The SICF of 30 g/L glucose and 70 g xylose/L gave an ethanol concentration of 22.3 g/L with yield of 0.36 g/(g sugar consumed) and xylose conversion efficiency of $42.8\%$.

In order to overproduce D-xylose isomerase, the Escherichia coli D-xylose isomerase (D-xylose ketol-isomerase, EC 5.3.1.5) gene (xylA) was fused to ${\lambda}P_{L}$ promoter. The promoterless xylA gene containing the ribosome binding site and coding region for D-xylose isomerase was cloned into a site 0.3 kb downstream from the ${\lambda}P_{L}$ promoter on a high copy number plasmid. An octameric XbaI linker containing TAG amber codon was inserted between 33rd codon of ${\lambda}N$ and the promoterless xylA gene. The resulting recombinant plasmid (designated as pPX152) was transformed into E. coli M5248 carrying a single copy of the temperature sensitive ${\lambda}cI857$ gene on its chromosomal DNA. When temperature-induced, the transformants produced 15 times as much D-xylose isomerase as that of D-xylose-induced parent strain. The amount of overproduced D-xylose isomerase was found to be about 60% of total protein in cell-free extracts.

김치에서 분리된 Lactococcus sp. JK-8 균주에 의해 생산되는 D-xylose isomerase를 17배 정제하여 물리 화학적인 특성을 조사하였다 D-Xylose isomerase의 N 말단 아미노산 서열을 결정한 결과 Ala-Tyr-Phe-Asn-Asp-Ile-Ala-Pro-Ile-Lys로 확인되었고 이것은 Lactococcus 속의 D-xylose isomerase와는 유사하지 않았다. 정제된 효소의 분자량은 gel filtration의 경우 180 kDa, subunit의 분자량은 SDS-PAGE에서 45 kDa으로 측정되었고 이 효소는 4개의 subunit으로 구성된 homotetramer였다. 최적 반응 pH는 pH 7부근이었고 pH 6∼8 사이에서 안정하였다. 최적 반응온도는 7$0^{\circ}C$였고 1 mM $Mn^{2+}$의 존재 하에서는 7$0^{\circ}C$ 이상에서도 안정하였다. 이 효소도 다른 D-xylose isomerase처럼 활성과 열 안정성을 위해서 $Mg^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$또는 $Mn^{2+}$와 같은 2가의 양이온을 필요로 하였으며, 이중 $Mn^{2+}$가 효소 활성에 가장 효과적이었다. 기질 특이성에 관한 연구에서는 D-xylose를 사용했을 때 높은 활성을 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 이 효소의 pI 값은 4.8이었고, D-xylose에 대한 Km 값은 5.9 mM이었다.

Arthrobacter sp. L-3로부터 glucose isomerase의 생산성을 검토하였다. 배지의 탄소원으로는 glucose와 xylose를 혼합해서 공급한 것이 효소 생산성이 가장 높았다. 질소원으로는 yeast extract가 가장 높은 효소 생산성을 나타내었다. Glucose isomerase의 생산성은 배양시간이 40시간일 때 가장 높게 나타났다.

Streptomyces chibaensis J-59 did not grow in the culture medium containing only xylose or xylan as a carbon source, because it was defective in xylulokinase production; xylB mutant. S. chibaensis J-59 was able to produce xylanase and $\beta $-xylosidase as well as glucose isomerase. The glucose isomerase in S. chilbaensis J-59 was induced in the medium containing xylan or xylose which could be utilized as an inducer but not sa carbon and energy sources. So we tried to produce glucose isomerase whthout consumption of xylose or xylan as an inducer by using xylB mutant S. chilbaensis J-59. The optimum condition for the production of the glucose isomerase was attained in a culture medium composed of 1% xylan, 0.15% glucose, 1.5% corn steep liquor, 0.1% MaSO$_{4}$ $\CDOT $7H$_{2}$O, and 0.012% CoCL$_{2}$ $\CDOT $ 6H$_{2}$O(pH 7.0). The production of the enzyme reached to a maximum level when the bacteria were cultured for 42 h at 30$\circ $C. The enzyme production in a jar fermentor was increased twice as much as that in a flask culture.

Xylone isomerase (D-xylose ketol-isomerase, EC 5,3,1,5) have been demonstrated in the cell-free extracts of Stroptomuces canus and Streptomuces malachiticus grown in the presence of xylose. Xylose, glucose and ribose served as substrates for the enzymes of the two strains with respective $K_m$ values of 22, 130, 290 mM (S. canus) and 7,83,637 mM(S.malachiticus), and $V_max$ values of 1,000, 0.087, $\0.0222{\mu}moles/min/mg$ protein (S. canus) and 0.312, 0.083, 0.500.$\mu$moles/min/mg protein (S. malachiticus). L-Rhammose was also isomerized by the crude enzyme solutions of the two strains. The maximal activities of the two xylose-isomerases were observed at pH 7.5 and $75^{\circ}C$. The xylose isomerase activities of the two strains were activated two-three times by $Mg^{++}\;and\;Co^{++}$ as that of control, partially activated by $Ba^{++}$ and inhibited by $Ni^{++},\;Ca^{++}\;and\;Zn^{++}\$. Particulary, the addtion of $Mn^{++}$ stimulated xylose-isomerizing activities, but inhibited glucose-isomerizing activities in both strains. However, $Cu^{++}$ inhibited xylose-isomerizing activities, while stimulated glucose-isomerizing activities of the enzymes.

Biofuel production using lignocellulosic biomass is gaining attention because it can be substituted for fossil fuels without competing with edible resources. However, because Saccharomyces cerevisiae does not have a ${\text\tiny{D}}$-xylose metabolic pathway, oxidoreductase or isomerase pathways must be introduced to utilize ${\text\tiny{D}}$-xylose from lignocellulosic biomass in S. cerevisiae. To elucidate the biochemical properties of xylose isomerase (XI) from Piromyces sp. E2 (PsXI), we determine its crystal structure in complex with substrate mimic glycerol. An amino-acid sequence comparison with other reported XIs and relative activity measurements using five kinds of divalent metal ions confirmed that PsXI belongs to class II XIs. Moreover kinetic analysis of PsXI was also performed using $Mn^{2+}$, the preferred divalent metal ion for PsXI. In addition, the substrate-binding mode of PsXI could be predicted with the substrate mimic glycerol bound to the active site. These studies may provide structural information to enhance ${\text\tiny{D}}$-xylose utilization for biofuel production.

Streptomyces sp. strain K-17의 포도당 이성화효소의 강력한 분비를 위해서는 inducer로서 D-xylose를 필요로 하고 있다. 그런데 D-xylose를 가하지 않고 1.0% glucose를 가한 배지에서 배양한 이성화효소 역가가 낮은 균체를 모아서 이것을 다시 0.05M인 산 완충액 (PH7.0)에 현탁시켜 0.5 % xylose를 가하여 호기적으로 해주었을 때 효소의 induction pattern을 조사한 결과 효소활성이 10시간까지는 처리 시간에 따라 직선상으로 증가하고 이에 비례해서 D-xylose의 양이 감소했으나 cell mass에 있어서는 거의 변동이 없었다. 이때 효소단백의 합성이 일어나고 있지만, 전 RNA함량에 있어서는 오히려 감소하였다. 이와 같이 질소원을 가하지 않는 non-growth phase에서도 효소단백의 합성이 일어나는 것은 세포내에 축적되어 있는 단백질의 turn-over에 의한다는 것을 starvation 실험에서 알 수 있었다. D-xylose 이외에 D-ribose, L-arabinose, D-glucose, D-mannose, citrate, succinate 및 tartrate는 inducer로서의 효과가 없었다. 효소의 induction시, D-glucose를 가했을 경우catabolite repression 이 일어났으며 succinate 나 citrate 에 의해서도 강하게 효소생성이 억제되었다. 이와 같은 현상은 growth phase에서도 마찬가지 결과를 나타내었다. Induction시, $Ba^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$ 및 $Co^{2+}$가 효소생성을 발전시켰으며, C $u^{2+}$, C$d^{2+}$, A $g^{+}$ 및 H $g^{2+}$ 와 같은 중금속이 효소생성을 저해하였고, mitomycin C 몇 penicillin G는 효소생성에 영향을 주지 못하였으나, actinomycin D, streptomycin, chlora-mphenicol 및 tetra cycline등에 의해 강하게 저해되었다. 또 p-CMB 및 uncoupler 인 arsenate와 2.4-DNP에 의해서도 효소생성이 저해되었다.

Glucose (xylose) isomerases from Streptomyces sp. have been used for the production of high fructose corn syrup for industrial purposes. An 11-kb DNA fragment containing the xyl gene cluster was isolated from Streptomyces lividans TK24 and its nucleotide sequences were analyzed. It was found that the xyl gene cluster contained a putative transcriptional repressor (xylR), xylulokinase (xylB), and xylose isomerase (xylA) genes. The transcriptional directions of the xylB and xylA genes were divergent, which is consistent to those found in other streptomycetes. A gene encoding XylR was located downstream of the xylB gene in the same direction, and its mutant strain produced xylose isomerase regardless of xylose in the media. The enzyme expression level in the mutant was 4.6 times higher than that in the parent strain under xylose-induced condition. Even in the absence of xylose, the mutant strain produce over 60% of enzyme compared with the xylose-induced condition. Gel mobility shift assay showed that XylR was able to bind to the putative xyl promoter, and its binding was inhibited by the addition of xylose in vitro. This result suggested that XylR acts as a repressor in the S. lividans xylose operon.

호열성 진정세균인 Thermotoga maritima의 xylose isomerase 유전자를 대장균을 이용하여 클로닝하고 재조합 발현시켰다. 재조합 효소의 최적활성은 $90^{\circ}C$와 pH 8.0에서 관찰되었다. 사포닌을 재조합효소로 처리한 후 사람의 위암 세포주 (AGS)와 대장암 세포주 (HT-29)에 처리한 결과, 효소 무처리 사포닌에 비해 우수한 암세포 생육저해 활성을 나타냈다. 한편, 푸코이단을 재조합효소로 처리한 후 동일 세포주들에 처리한 결과, 효소 무처리 푸코이단과 비슷한 암세포 생육저해 활성을 보였다. 1 ${\mu}g/ml$ 농도의 효소 처리 사포닌은 100 ${\mu}g/ml$ 농도의 효소 무처리 사포닌과 유사하거나 우수한 암세포 생육저해 활성을 보였다. 본 연구결과는 기능성 식품이나 의약품의 개발에 참고가 될 것으로 사료된다.
