  • A plasmid vector with combined features of yeast shuttle vector and mammalian expression vector was constructed to facilitate expression of cloned gene in both cell-types. All necessary elements required for plasmid maintenance and selection in E. coli, yeast and mammalian cells were size-economically arranged in this plasmid. The numan cytomegalovirus (CMV) immediate early promoter and yeast GAL1 promoter were sequentially placed in front of the gene to be expressed. The synthetic splicing donor and acceptor sequences were inserted into the immediate upstream and downstream of the GAL1 promotor, allowing the CMV promotor to direct the expression of a given gene in mammalian cell environment by splicing out the interfering GAL1 promotor sequence. When the resulting vector containing LacZ as a gene was introduced into yeast and mammalian cells, both cells efficiently produced .betha.-galactosidase, dimonstrating its dual host usage.

  • Using a modified yeast secretory expression vector, $\alpha$-amylase of Schwanniomyces occidentalis was produced from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The expression vector contains the a-amylase gene (AMY) harboring its own promoter without the regulatory region and the adenine base at the -3 position from the ATG start codon, its own signal sequence, CYC1 transcription terminator, and SV40 enhancer. The expressed $\alpha$-amylase activity from cells carrying the plasmid was approximately 26 times higher than that from the cells harboring an unmodified plasmid. When Saccharomyces diastaticus was transformed with this modified vector, a 2.5 times higher level of amylolytic activity than that from Sch. occidentalis was observed.

  • By both in vitro hydroxylamine mutagenesis of the wild type 3-phosphoglycerate kinase gene (PGK) promoter DNA and insertion of the leu2-d gene, we have created yeast expression vectors potentially useful for production of eukaryotic genes in yeast. The guanine (G) to adenine (A) change at the -3 position from the ATG start codon of the PGK promoter-based vector rendered a 6~7 times elevated expression of the adjacent eukaryotic gene, and insertion of the leu2-d gene in the vector containing the mutated PGK promoter further enhanced the expression of the gene. When expression of the AIDS virus HIV1-gagP17 gene in a lacZ fusion form was examined with this new vector, a 15 times higher level of expression than that from the original PGK promoter was observed. Northern and Southern analysis showed that this elevated expression is due to the production of a high copy number of mRNA by leu2-d gene functioning and by efficient translation of the produced mRNA. Thus, the vector that contained the A at the -3 position from the ATG start codon in the promoter region and the leu2-d gene shows increased expression capability and will be potentially useful for production of eukaryotic genes in yeast.

  • 본 연구에서는 Yeast Artificial Chromosome을 효율적으로 조작하고 유유전자의 기능을 보다 더 용이하게 분석하기 위해 EMCV 바이러스의 IRES 염기서열과 $\beta$-galactosidase를 포함하는 새로운 bicistronic fragmentation vector를 제조하였다. 이 벡터의 폴리클로닝 site에 네 개의희귀한 제한효소 부위를 도입하여 DNA를 용이하게 클로닝할 수 있게 만들었다. 그러므로 원하는 어떤 YAC도 효모세포에서 쉽게 상동 재조함에 의해 절편할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 이 bicistronic fragmentation vector 시스템을 이용하면하나의 메시지로부터 연구하고자 하는 유전자와 $\beta$-galactosidase를 동시에 한 세포에서 발현할 수 있기 때문에 유전자의 발현양상을 쉽게 분석할 수 있는 새로운 도구로 이용할 수 있다.

  • 본 실험에서는 식물의 유용유전자를 개발하여 그 발현양상을 확인하기 위하여 효모를 이용하면 그 발현양상을 비교적 빠르게 확인할 수 있는 미토콘드리아 형질전환 방법을 규명하였다. 또한 미토콘드리아(mt)에 관련된 유전자를 TPI promoter를 가진 plasmid에 재조합한 후 효모에 형질전환하여 mt에서 그 유전자의 특성이 발현 되는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과로 mt에 관련된 유전자를 식물의 조직에 형질전환 하여 1개 이상의 유전자가 식물의 mt에 삽입되어 그 유전자의 특성이 발현되는데 이용되어 질수 있을 것이라 생각된다.

  • To investigate the expression and the secretion of heterologous proteins in yeast, we constructed an yeast secretion vector and produced a human secretory protein, .alpha.-1-antitrypsin (.alpha.-1-AT), from yeast cells. The secretion vector pGAT8 was constructed by inserting the signal sequence of yeast acid phosphatase gene (PH05) into the .alpha.1-AT expression vector pGAT6 which contained .alpha.-1-AT cDNA fused to GAL10-CYC1 promotor. The .alpha.-1-AT was produced efficiently in the yeast cells transformed with plasmid pGAT8, which was onfirmed both by the .alpha.-1-AT activity assay and by the immunoblot method using .alpha.-1-AT antibody. We also showed the secretion of .alpha.-1-AT into the culture media and into the periplasmic space by immunoblot.

  • In order to express the FLP recombinase in B. mori cultured cell line, BmN-4, transient expression system using a heat shock protein gene (hsp70) promoter of Dorosophilla melnogaster was constructed. This vector was designated as pHsSV. Activity strength of the hsp70 promoter was compared with that of immediate early gene (IE-1) and polyhedrin gene of BmNPV employing the E. coli $\beta$-galactosidase gene as a reporter gene. The result showed that the pHs $\beta$-gal plasmid vector expressed the $\beta$-galactosidase at 2nd and 3rd day after the transfer of plasmid DNA into BmN-4 cells, which was similar to that of pIE1 $\beta$-gal vector, but different from that of a recombinant virus, vBm $\beta$-gal. For the construction of FLP recombinase transient expression vector, the FLP recombinase gene was cloned by polymerase chain reaction technique. To express the FLP recombinase, this gene was inserted into pHsSV plasmid vector, under the control of the hsp70 promotor, and tranfected in BmN-4 cells. The expressed FLP recombinase was estimated at 44kDa on a 12.5% SDS-PAGE.

  • The yeast three-hybrid system (Y3H), a powerful method for identifying RNA-binding proteins, still suffers from many false positives, due mostly to RNA-independent interactions. In this study, we attempted to efficiently identify false positives by introducing a tetracycline operator (tetO) motif into the RPR1 promoter of an RNA hybrid expression vector. We successfully developed a tight tetracycline-regulatable RPR1 promoter variant containing a single tetO motif between the transcription start site and the A-box sequence of the RPR1 promoter. Expression from this tetracycline-regulatable RPR1 promoter in the presence of tetracycline-response transcription activator (tTA) was positively controlled by doxycycline (Dox), a derivative of tetracycline. This on-off control runs opposite to the general knowledge that Dox negatively regulates tTA. This positively controlled RPR1 promoter system can therefore efficiently eliminate RNA-independent false positives commonly observed in the Y3H system by directly monitoring RNA hybrid expression.

  • Transformed, hybrid strains of the yeast Saccharomyces capable of simultaneous secretion of both glucoamylase and ${\alpha}-amylase$ have been produced. These strains can carry out direct, one-step assimilation of starch with conversion efficiency greater than 93% during a 5 day growth period. One of the transformants converts 92.8% of available starch into reducing sugars in only 2 days. Glucoamylase secretion by these strains results from expression of one or more chromosomal STA genes derived from Saccharomyces diastaticus. The strains were transformed by a plasmid(pMS12) containing mouse salivary ${\alpha}-amylase$ cDNA in an expression vector containing yeast alcohol dehydrogenase promoter and a segment of yeast $2{\mu}$ plasmid. The major starch hydrolysis product produced by crude amylases found in culture broths is glucose, indicating that ${\alpha}-amylase$ and glucoamylase act cooperatively.
