Abstract

A Bacillus sp. that produces fibrinolytic enzyme was isolated from Cheonggukjang, a traditional Korean soybean-fermented food. According to 16S rRNA gene base sequencing, the bacillus was identified as a variety of Bacillus subtilis, and named Bacillus subtilis IDCC 9204. Fibrinolytic enzyme NK-IL9204 was stable up to $60^{\circ}C$ and within pH range of 5-10. Purified NK-IL9204 was detected through fibrin zymography. The molecular weight and isoelectric point of the enzyme were estimated to be 27.7 kDa and 6.7 by SDS-PAGE and 2D electrophoresis, respectively. Its amino acid sequence was similar to that of nattokinase (identities 99.5%) and different from that of nattokinase BPN (identities 86.4%). The plasma fibrinolytic activity of NK-IL9204 was measured by euglobulin clot lysis times (ECLT). The NK-IL9204 was orally administered to SD rats for 3 weeks (1,000 FU/rat/day). The ECLT was significantly shortened by supplementation of NK-IL9204.

콩을 소재로한 전통 발효식품으로부터 혈전용해능이 뛰어난 균주를 분리하였으며, B. subtilis로 동정되었다. 따라서 이를 B. subtilis IDCC 9204(특허균주기탁: KCTC-11471 BP), 그 혈전용해 효소는 NK-IL9204로 명명하였다. B. subtilis IDCC 9204가 생산하는 고역가의 NK-IL9204를 단백질 분석법에 기초하여 분석한 결과, 분자량은 27.7 kDa의 homogenous enzyme으로 확인되었다. 또한 기존에 알려진 일본의 발효식품인 낫도 유래의 B. subtilis var. natto가 생산하는 nattokinase 와의 sequence 분석을 진행한 결과, 99.5% homology가 일치하는 serine protease계열의 nattokinase로 확인되었다. 그러나 NK-IL9204는 물리 화학적인 조건에서 B. subtilis var. natto가 생산하는 nattokinase와 다소 차이를 나타내었으며 본 실험에서는 B. subtilis var. natto가 생산하는 nattokinase보다 상대적으로 높은 열 안정성과 pH 안정성을 나타내었다. In vitro 실험에서 NK-IL9204는 최적 반응온도 $40^{\circ}C$, 열 안정성은 $90^{\circ}C$까지 효소활성을 유지하였으며, 최적 반응 pH는 pH 8로 알칼리-혈전용해효소의 특성을 나타내었으며, 약산성에서 강알칼리 영역까지 넓은 pH 구간 안정성을 갖는 것이 특징이다. NKIL9204의 in vivo에서의 효능과 생체 내 안정성을 동물실험을 통해 확인한 결과, 생체 내에서도 혈전용해효소의 활성이 소실되지 않고 유지되며, 혈전분해와 관련된 생체 내 인자들을 활성화시키는 역할을 하는 특징을 갖는다. NK-IL9204는 30,000 FU/g 이상의 고역가를 달성하여 산업적 측면에서 생산성도 확보함으로써 수입의존적 원료를 국산화할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.
