PAP-I cDNA was synthesized from total RNA of Phytolacca americana leaves by RT-PCR, and then subcloned to recombinant vector pBluescript II SK-. Using PCR with primers designed in our laboratory, we could get the 9 deletion mutant PAP-I cDNA fragments. The first of the fragments was deleted by 66bp from immature N-terminal and then the rest were deleted by 90bp sequentially. Sequentially deletion mutant PAP-I cDNAs were inserted to pAc55M, on down-stream of gall promoter. Recombinant pAc55M was transformed to yeast cells, psy1 and the cells were spreaded on SC_urn-/glucose plate media. Colonies on SC_ura-/glucose plate were streaked on the same position of SC_ura-/glucose and SC_ura-/galactose plate, and we selected colonies growing on both plates, which carry non-cytotoxic deleted mutant PAP-I cDNA. We selected 4 deletion mutant PAP-I cDNAs which have not cytotoxicity.

본 연구에서는 유도성 promoter인 GAL1과 상시성 promoter인 GPD와 ADH1 promoter 하류에 사람 ferritin H-chain 유전자(hfL) 및 사람 ferritin L-chain 유전자(hfL)를 연결하여 재조합 plasmid를 구축하고 이들을 S. cerevisiae 2805에 형질 전환시켜 외래 유전자를 성공적으로 발현시켰다. Ferritin 발현에 미치는 promoter의 영향을 비교한 바, 이 두 단백질 생간에 있어서 GAL1 promoter가 GPD나 ABH1 promoter 보다 더 효율적이었다. GAL1 promoter를 사용한 형질 전환체 (YG-H와 YG-L)에서 H-chain의 발현율은 전체 수용성 단백질 중 4.5%에 해당하였고, L-chain의 발현율은 9.8%에 이르렀다. 각 균주에서 발현된 H 및 L subunit은 비변성 젤은 사용한 전기 영동의 결과 대장균에서 생산된 재조합 단백질과 마찬가지로 자발적으로 holoprotein으로 조합되어졌다. 재조합 H-와 L-ferritin들은 단백질 내공에 철을 축적할 수 있음이 Prussian blue 염색으로 확인되었다. 그리고 효모 세포를 10 mM ferric citrate를 함유한 배지에서 배양했을 때, H-ferritin과 L-ferritin을 생산하는 재조합 효모 균주에 있어서의 펄의 농도는 각각 174.9 $\mu\textrm{g}$ Per gram(dry cell weight)과 148.8 $\mu\textrm{g}$ Per gram(dry cell weight)이었고 야생형 효모 균주에 있어서의 털의 농도는 49.4 $\mu\textrm{g}$ Per gram(dry cell weight)이었다. 이것은 사람 ferritin 유전자를 효모 균주에 발현시킴으로써 효모의 철 함량이 증진되었음을 유추하는 결과이다.

SH3YL1, a novel protein containing one Src homology 3 domain at the carboxyl terminus was first detected in mouse anagen skin cDNA. This protein had a significant homology with YHRO 16c/Ysc 84, the yeast Src homology 3 domain-containing protein. The sequence identity was remarkable at the carboxyl and amino-terminal Src homology 3 domain, suggesting that the novel protein is a mouse homolog of the yeast protein and thus was termed as SH3YL1. SH3YL1 is composed of two domains, a DUF500 at N-termini and a SH3 domain at C-termini. In our study we cloned the SH3 domain in bacterial expression system in Escherichia coli using pET32a vector with TEV protease cleavage site and purified as a monomer using affinity chromatography. The N-terminal poly-Histidine tag was cleaved with TEV protease and target protein was used for backbone studies. Our study showed that SH3 domain primarily consists of $\beta$-sheet which is in consistence with previous result performed on the truncated SH3 domain of SH3YL1.

A soluble protein from Saccharomyces cerevisiae specifically provides protection against a thiolcontaining oxidation system but not against an oxidation system without thiol. This 25-kDa protein was thus named thiol-dependent protector protein (TPP). The role of TPP in the cellular defense against oxidative stress was investigated in Escherichia coli containing an expression vector with a yeast genomic DNA fragment that encodes TPP (strain YP) and a mutant in which the catalytically essential amino acid in the active site of TPP (Cys-47) has been replaced with alanine by site-directed mutagenesis (strain YPC47A). There was a distinct difference between these two strains in regard to viability, modulation of activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase, and the oxidative damage of DNA upon exposure to menadione. These results suggest that TPP may play a direct role in the cellular defense against oxidative stress by functioning as an antioxidant protein.

A gene coding for the $\beta$-galactosidase (lactase) of Kluyveromyces tragilis UCD 55-55 was isolated by complementation in Escherichia coli YMC9. From the plasmid library made from Sau3A-digested chromosomal DNA, one positive clone was selected. The cloned gene for $\beta$-galactosidase was on 7.3 kilobase pair DNA fragment, and a slightly low level of $\beta$-galactosidase enzyme activity was detecied in E. coli. It was also confirmed that the cloned gene comes from K. tragilis by DNA-DNA hybridization and immunochemical blotting experiments. In order to construct a new yeast strain having the metabolic ability for lactose, the cloned gene for K. tragilis $\beta$-galactosidase was inserted in yeast vector YEp24 and YRp17, and transformed into Saccharomyces cerevisiae YNN27 and Ml-2B. The yeast transformants showed the nearly the same $\beta$-galactosidase productivity as level of K. tragilis when uninduced, but these could not utilize lactose as a sole carbon source, presumably due to the lack of lactose transport system. Nevertheless, a slightly higher ethanol productivity was achieved by these transformants than S. cerevisiae or K. tragilis, in the medium containing glucose and lactose.

We have previously reported that SPP2 gene product of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is involved in the pre-mRNA splicing. To investigate the rol ein the splicing pathway of the Spp2p protein, the SPP2 gene was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and polyclonal antibodies to Spp2p were generated from rabbits. First, a DNA fragment containing the SPP2 GENE without its promoter was subcloned into an E. coli expression vector, pKK233-3. The resulting recombinant plasmid pBQ14 contained an IPTG inducible tac promoter and the SPP2 structural gene. Overexpression of the SPP2 gene was achieved by additionof 0.1 to 1.0 mM IPTG to a logarithmic culture of E. coli JM103(pBQ14) for 90 min at 37.deg.C. Sequence of N-terminal 15 amino acids of the overproduced protein was well matched to the deduced one from the SPP2 reading frame. Then, polyclonal antibodies were generated from rabbits immunized with gel-purified SppSp protein. These antibodies reacted specifically with the Spp2p protein extracted from yeast cells expressing the SPP2 gene to a great extent. The antibodies could also block the activity of yeast splicing extracts.

박테리오신의 일종인 OR-7을 생산하는 효모의 제작을 위하여 180 bp 길이의 개시코돈과 종지코돈을 포함하는 OR-7의 유전자를 합성하여 효모 발현 vector pAUR123에 클로닝하여 재조합 DNA를 작성하였다. 재조합 DNA로 형질전환된 효모가 박테리오신 OR-7 생산유전자를 가지고 있음을 효모로부터 분리된 플라스미드를 이용한 PCR로 확인하였고, OR-7의 생산은 SDS-PAGE로 확인하였다. 형질전환 효모는 그람양성 대표세균인 고초균(B. subtiliws)과 그람음성 장내세균인 대장균(E. coli)에 대해 항균활성을 나타냈다. 또한, 농흉이나 중이염의 원인이 되는 녹농균(P. aeruginosa)과 식중독균(C. jejuni)에 대해서도 항균활성을 나타냈다. 이 연구의 결과로 부패하기 쉬운 식품들의 보존성을 향상시키기 위한 보존제 대체물질 또는 가축 사료에서 병원균의 생육을 저해하기 위한 항생제 대체물질로 사용할 수 있는 박테리오신을 산업적으로 생산할 수 있는 효모세포를 제작하였다.

The fission yeast cells that contained the cloned glutathione synthetase (GS) gene showed 1.4-fold higher glutathione (GSB) content and 1.9-fold higher GS activity than the cells without the cloned GS gene. Interestingly, $\gamma$-glutamylcysteine synthetase activity increased 2.1-fold in the S. pombe cells that contained the cloned GS gene. The S. pombe cells that harbored the multi copy-number plasmid pRGS49 (containing the cloned GS gene) showed a higher level of survival on solid media with cadmium chloride (1 mM) or mercuric chloride ($10\;{\mu}M$) than the cells that harbored the YEp357R vector. The 506 bp upstream sequence from the translational initiation point and N-terminal8 amino acid-coding region were fused into the promoteriess $\beta$-galactosidase gene of the shuttle vector YEp367R to generate the fusion plasmid pUGS39. Synthesis of $\beta$-galactosidase from the fusion plasmid pUGS39 was significantly enhanced by cadmium chloride and NO-generating S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) and sodium nitroprusside (SN). It was also induced by L-buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine, a specific inhibitor of $\gamma$-glutamylcysteine synthetase (GCS). We also found that the expression of the S. pombe GS gene is regulated by the Atf1-Spc1-Wis1 signal pathway.

Paenibacillus polymyxa 유래의 cycloinulooligosaccharide fructanotransferase(CFTase) 유전자(cft)를 Saccharomyces cerevisiae SEY2102 에 발현시키기 위해 대장균과 효모의 shuttle vector인 pYES 2.0(GALI) promoter)에 subcloning하였다. 구축된 pYGCFT(9.9kb) plasmid를 S. cerevisiae SEY2102에 형질전환하였고, uracil이 결핍된 SD 배지에서 선별하였다. 선별된 형질전혼체(S. cerevisiae SEY2102/pYGCFT)는 galactose 첨가에 의해 성공적으로 발현되어 cyclofructan(CF)을 생셩함을 TLC로 확인하였다. 그러나 균체외로의 효소 분비는 이루어지지 않았고 cytoplasm 보다 periplasmic space에 많이 존재하였다. 효소반응 3시간부터 CF가 생성됨을 확인하였고, 최적온도와 pH는 각각 45$^{\circ}C$와 pH 8.0로 나타났으며, pH 10.0에서도 효소활성이 안정적으로 유지되었다. Inulin 기질에 따른 반응산물 분석결과, Jerusalem artichoke와 dahlia tuber로부터 CF가 가장 효과적으로 생성되었다.
