Abstract

The antibacterial protein gene, nuecin was expressed in Sf9 cells using baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS). The antibactetial activity of mature nuecin against Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum, Ralstonia solanacearum and Pseudomonas tolaasii was significantly high, demonstrating that nuecin had a wider antibacterial spectrum on gram negative and positive bacteria. The result appears to be superior to other antibacterial peptide, attacin. The nuecin was purified by SP-sepharose and Mono Q HR ion-exchange chromatography, and then by Superdex 200 HR 10/30 column. The purified nuecin is quite stable at 80$\^{C}$ and 100$\^{C}$ for several hours of incubation and in a wide pH range (pH 2-12).

본 연구는 곤충 유전자를 이용한 항세균성 펩타이드 생산 및 농업용 소재로서의 응용에 관한 연구로서 항세균성 단백질 누에신 유전자를 베큘로 바이러스 발현계(BEVS)를 이용하여 곤충세포주에서 발현한 후 누에신 단백질의 농업용 소재로서의 가능성을 모색하기 위해 농작물을 가해하는 감자 고추의 무름병을 일으키는 Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum, 가지 및 고추의 풋마름병을 일으키는 Ralstonia solanacearum, 양송이 버섯의 세균성 갈색 무늬 병을 일으키는 Pseudomonas tolaasii 및 무와 배추의 검은썩음병을 일으키는 Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris 에 대해서 항세균 활성을 관찰하였다. 그 결과 Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum, Ralstonia solanacearum 및 Pseudomonas tolaasii에 대해 높은 활성을 나타내었으며 Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris에는 활성을 나타내지 않았다. Ion exchange 및 gel filtration chromatography 를 수행하여 약 20 kDa의 성숙 누에신 단백질을 순수 분리하여 pH 및 온도에 대한 안정성을 조사한 결과, pH 2~12 완충액에서 30분간 처리하였을 때에도 항세균 활성이 그대로 유지되었고 10$0^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 처리시에는 활성이 안정되었으며 4시간 처리시에도 80% 정도로 유지됨을 확인함으로써 누에신 단백질은 pH 및 온도에 대한 안정성이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
