Abstract

A Baczllus circdans KCTC3004 $\alpha$-amylase gene contained in a recombinant plasmid pAL850 was transferred into a new shuttle vector plasmid pALSIlI by ligating linearlzed DNAs of pUC19 and pUB110. B. subtilis RM125 and B. megatenurn ATCC14945 transfonned with pALS111 produced the $\alpha$-amylase substantially Most of the enzyme was produced during the exponential growth period. The maxiinurn activities of the $\alpha$-amylase produced by the Bucillus transformants were compared with that of the B. circulans gene donor strain. The B. subtilis RM125(pALS111) enzyme showed the actlvicy 95 times higher than that of the gene donor cells, followed by the B, nzegaterium ATCC14945(pALSlll) enzyme with activity 34 limes higher than that of the gene donor cells. While E coli secreted about 10% of the produced enzyme, B. subtilis excreted the enzyme inlo the medium wholly and B. megaterirun about 98% ofthe total product. The plasmid pALSI11 was quite stable inB. nzegaterium (92%), inoderately stable in B. subtilis (76%), but was unstable in E. coli (38%). The SDS-PAGE and zymogram of this enzyme produced in E. coli(pALS111), B. subtilis( pALS111) or B. megateril~m (pALS111) indicated a molecular weight of 55,000. The enzymes overproduced in three different host cells hydrolyzed starch to produce mainly maltoaiose and mallooligosaccharides.

재조합 플라스미드 pAL850에 함유된 Bacillus circulans KCTC3004 $\alpha$-amylase 유 전자를 pUB110을 이용하여 shuttle 플라스미드 pALS111을 만들어 Bacillus 세포에 이동. 발현시켰다. Bacillus subtilis(고초균)와 Bacillus megaterium(거대균)으로 형질전환된 pALS111로부터 $\alpha$-amylase는 세포증식과 비례하여 생산되었다. 형질전화주가 생산하는 $\alpha$ -amylase의 최대활성을 유전자 공여 균주인 B. circulans와 비교했을 때 고초균은 약 95배, 거대균은 약 34배 정도의 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 그리고 대장균 형질전환주는 분비율이 10% 정도인데 반하여 고초균 형질전화주는 생산된 효소전부를 , 거대균 형질전환주는 약 98%를 세포외로 분비함을 보임으로써 고초균과 거대균은 실용적인 면에서 대장균보다 우월 함을 나타내었다, pALS111의 각 숙주 내에서의 안정성을 살펴본 결과 거대균에서는 92%, 고초균에서는 76%, 대장균에서는 38% 로 나타났다. SDS-PAGE와 zymogram을 통해 추정 된 대장균과 고초균, 거대균에서 발현된 효소의 분자량은 약 55,000으로 확인되었다. 이들 형질전환주가 생산하는 $\alpha$-amylase는 starch 에 작용하여 주된산물로서 maltotriose 이상의 다양한 maltooligosaccharide들을 생산함이 확인 되었다.
