A plasmid vector was constructed for the expression and secretion of Bacillus macerans cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) in Bacillus subtilis. The vector, pUBACGT, was composed of the ribosome-binding sequence, signal sequence, and cgt gene from B. macerans under the control of amyR2, the promoter of amyE gene coding for $\alpha$-amylase from B. subtilis var. natto. Bacillus subtilis LKS88, a mutant strain lacking genes for an amylase and two proteases, was used as a host for the transformation of the plasmid vector. The transformants were selected on kanamycin-containing Luria-Bertani plates. The starch hydrolyzing activity was observed on the starch-containing plates by the iodine method and cyclodextrin-forming activity was detected in the culture medium. A SDS-PAGE analysis showed that most of the expressed CGTase in the recombinant B. subtilis was secreted into the medium at a high expression level.

A secretion signal sequence-selection vector (pGS40) was constructed based on an $\alpha$-amylase gene lacking a secretion signal and employed for selecting secretion signals from Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris LM0230 chromosomal DNA. Six fragments were identified based on their ability to restore $\alpha$-amylase secretion in E. coli, and among these, a fragment, S405, conferred the highest secretion activity (84%) in E. coli. Meanwhile, S407, which conferred poor secretion activity in E. coli, was quite active in L. lactis. The results suggested that the efficiency of a secretion signal depended on the host. All six fragments had an open reading frame (ORF) fused to the reporter gene, and the potential Shine-Dalgamo (SD) sequence and putative promoter sequences were located upstream of the ORF. Deduced amino acid sequences from the six fragments did not show any homology with known secretion signals. However, they contained three distinguished structural features and cleavage sites, commonly found among typical secretion signals. The characterized secretion signals could be useful for the construction of food-grade secretion vectors and gene expression in LAB.

Ginseng (Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer), one of the most widely used medicinal plants in traditional oriental medicine, is used for the treatment of various diseases. It has been classified according to its cultivation environment, such as field cultivated ginseng (FCG) and mountain cultivated ginseng (MCG). However, little is known about differences in gene expression in ginseng roots between field cultivated and mountain cultivated ginseng. In order to investigate the whole transcriptome landscape of ginseng, we employed High-Throughput sequencing technologies using the Illumina HiSeqTM2500 system, and generated a large amount of sequenced transcriptome from ginseng roots. Approximately 77 million and 87 million high-quality reads were produced in the FCG and MCG roots transcriptome analyses, respectively, and we obtained 256,032 assembled unigenes with an average length of 1,171 bp by de novo assembly methods. Functional annotations of the unigenes were performed using sequence similarity comparisons against the following databases: the non-redundant nucleotide database, the InterPro domains database, the Gene Ontology Consortium database, and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway database. A total of 4,207 unigenes were assigned to specific metabolic pathways, and all of the known enzymes involved in starch and sucrose metabolism pathways were also identified in the KEGG library. This study indicated that alpha-glucan phosphorylase 1, putative pectinesterase/pectinesterase inhibitor 17, beta-amylase, and alpha-glucan phosphorylase isozyme H might be important factors involved in starch and sucrose metabolism between FCG and MCG in different environments.

Leuconostoc mesenteroides SY1, a strain isolated from cabbage Kimchi, was transformed with pCW4, a shuttle vector based on a cryptic plasmid from Lactobacillus paraplantarum C7. $\alpha-Amylase$ gene, amyL, from Bacillus licheniformis was cloned into pCW4, resulting in $pCW4T{\alpha},\;and\;pCW4T{\alpha}$ was introduced into SY1 by electroporation. Transformation efficiency was $10^2cells/{\mu}g$ plasmid DNA. L. mesenteroides cells harboring $pCW4T{\alpha}$ did not show amylase activity, although amyL transcript was synthesized as determined by slot blot experiment. $pCW4T{\alpha}$ was stably maintained in SY1 in the presence of erythromycin (Em, $5\;{\mu}g/ml$) but rapidly lost when Em was omitted. Less than $1\%$ of the cells maintained $pCW4T{\alpha}$ after 5 days at $30^{\circ}C$.

A gene (acas) designated as ${\alpha}$-amylase was cloned from Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus A6. The multiple amino acid sequence analysis and functional expression of acas revealed that this gene really encoded an amylosucrase (ASase) instead of ${\alpha}$-amylase. In fact, the recombinant enzyme exhibited typical ASase activity by showing both sucrose hydrolysis and glucosyltransferase activities. The purified enzyme has a molecular mass of 72 kDa and exhibits optimal hydrolysis activity at $45^{\circ}C$ and a pH of 8.0. The analysis of the oligomeric state of ACAS with gel permeation chromatography revealed that the ACAS existed as a monomer.

수은은 생물 축적과 먹이사슬을 통한 생물 농축되며, 미량에서도 유해한 영향을 나타내기 때문에 해양 환경 내에서 중요한 문제가 되고 있다. 그러나 해양 소형 갑각류에 대한 수은의 생물 영향은 다른 금속에 비해 연구가 미흡하다. 본 연구에서는 기수산 물벼룩 Diaphanosoma celebensis을 아치사 농도(0.2, 0.4, 0.8 ㎍/l)의 무기 수은(HgCl₂)에 48시간 노출시킨 후, 대사 관련 유전자의 발현 양상을 조사하였다. 해독효소 유전자 5종(cytochrome P450; cyp360A1, cyp361A1, cyp4AP3, cyp4C122, cyp370C5)과 소화효소 6종(alpha amylase (AMY), alpha amylase related protein (AMY-like), trypsin (TRYP), chymotrypsin-like protein (CHY), lipase (LIP), pancreatic lipase-related protein (PLRP))의 유전자 발현을 quantitative real time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR)을 이용하여 분석하였다. Cyp 유전자의 경우 clan2에 속하는 cyp370C5와 clan4에 속하는 cyp4AP3 유전자의 발현이 농도 의존적으로 유의하게 증가하였다. 한편 소화효소 유전자 중에서는 단백질 소화와 관련 있는 TRYP 유전자의 발현이 농도 의존적으로 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 cyp370C5와 cyp4AP3가 수은 독성을 해독하는 과정에서 중요한 역할을 담당할 것으로 보이며, 수은이 소화효소 유전자의 발현을 조절함으로써 에너지 대사에 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 제시한다. 본 연구는 해양 소형 갑각류에서 수은에 대한 분자 수준의 영향을 이해하는데 도움이 될 것이다.
