Abstract
Sep gene, which is one of the cell division genes coding for penicillin binding protein 3 was subcloned from ${\lambda}607sep^{+2}$ to plasmid pBR322. which has a strong promotor such as lac UV5(lacP). It was confirmed that the sep gene cloned to pLJ3 was in the proper orientation for expressionfrom lactose promotor. To analyze the expression efficiency of sep gene within the plasmids newly constructed, sep mRNA was assated by using ${\lambda$\mid$\;607sep^{+2}$ DNA as a probe. Sep mRNA level was increased 25 times in the cells carrying sep gene cloned to pBR322 compared to E. coli C600 which has wild type sep gene within the chromosome instead of plasmed. Furthermore, the cells carrying sep gene cloned to pLJ3 derected the synthesis of about 50 times as much sep mRNA as did cells carrying sep gene cloned to pBR 322, representing that the sep gene was successfully cloned to pLJ3.
세포분열에 관여하는 유전자중의 하나인 유천자 sep-Penciillin binding protein 3의 유전자를 ${\lambda}607sep^{+2}$로 부터 Plasmid pBR 322에 재조합시켰다. 또한 sep유전자의 발현을 최대화하기 위해서 lac UV 5와 같은 강한 promoter룹 갖고 있는 plasmid pLJ 3에 sep유전자를 재조합시켰으며, sep유전자는 lactose promotor발현에 적절한 방향으로 위치함을 확인하였다. 새로 재조합된 plasmid들의 sep유전자 발현도를 조사하기 위해서 이판 plasmids를 포함하고 있는 세포내에서의 sep mRNA의 합성량이 측정되었다. sep mRNA의 합성량은 sep유전자가 pBR 322내에 있을때, plasmid가 없는 wild type E. coli C 600에 비해 약 25배가 증가하였고, Sep 유전자가 pLJ 3에 있을때, pBR 322내에 있을때 보다 약 50배 가 증가하였다.
