Schwanniomyces castellii CBS 2863으로부터 ${\alpha}$-Amylase 유전자 Cloning

Molecular Cloning of ${\alpha}$-Amylase Gene from Schwanniomyces CBS 2863

Schwanniomyces castellii의 제놈 DNA로 제조된 유전자 은행으로부터 cloning된 ${\alpha}$-amylase 유전자가 Sacchromyces cerevisiae에서 발현되었다. Cloning된 삽입 DNA 절편의 크기는 약 5.0 kb이었고, Southern 및 immunoblot 분석 결과 cloning된 ${\alpha}$-amylase 유전자가 Sch. Castellii로부터 유래되었음이 확인되었다. S. cerevisiae SHY3 형질전환체에서 Sch. Castellii ${\alpha}$-amylase 유전자발현은 모균주에 비해 낮았으나, 단백질의 분자량 및 효소의 성질은 Sch. Castellii에서 분리한 ${\alpha}$-amylase의 그것과 차이가 없었다.

The gene encoding ${\alpha}$-amylase of Schwanniomyces castellii was cloned in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The 5.0-kilobase insert was shown to direct the synthesis of ${\alpha}$-amylase. Southern blot analysis confirmed that this ${\alpha}$-amylase gene was derived from the genomic DNA of Sch. castellii. Immunoblot analysis showed that ${\alpha}$-amylase production from S. cerevisiae transformant was less than that of donor strain. The ${\alpha}$-amylase secreted from S. cerevisiae transformant was shown to be indistinguishable from that of Sch. castellii on the basis of molecular weight and enzyme properties.
