Runaway replciation plasmid pSY35AT를 이용하여 이 plasmid가 가지고 있는 $cI_{857}$ repressor를 숙주 MC1065를 이용하여 $30^{\circ}C$에서 $37^{\circ}C$로 온도를 올려 shift-up 법으로 생산하였다. $cI_{857}$은 wild type cI repressor 정제법을 수정하여 사용하였으며 정제된 $cI_{857}$ repressor 농도는 0.11mg/ml이었다. 그리고 정제된 $cI_{857}$ repressor와 $^3H-CTP$로 labelinf한 PrOr과의 결합활성은 cell 파쇄액보다 약 23배 높았으며, 온도가 올라갈수록 결합활성은 떨어졌다.

$cI_{857}$ repressor 단백질을 대량으로 얻기위해 tac promoter 하류에 $cI_{857}$ 구조 유전자를 삽입하는 것을 검토하였다. $cI_{857}$ 유전자를 포함하는 DNA 단편을 plasmid PUC12를 이용하여 대량생산후, HphI으로 부분 분해하여 $cI_{857}$ 구조 유전자만을 취하고, tac promoter 하류에 삽입시켰다. 그리고 $\lambda$ phage $cI_{90}$에 의해 $30^{\circ}C$에서는 용원성을, $42^{\circ}C$에서는 용균성을 보이는 균주를 선택함으로 tac promoter 하류에 cI857 구조 유전자가 삽입된 pDR540-$cI_{857}$을 선택할 수가 있었다. 이 plasmid는 $lacI^q$ JM103 뿐만 아니라 각종 E.coli에서 $cI_{857}$-repressor 단백질을 균체 단백질당 약 17까지 생산하였다.

Phenylalanine 고생산용 plasmid pSY130-14는 $\lambda$-phage 유래 온도감수성을 가지고 있으므로 $cI_{857}$ repressor와 PL과 PR을 온도를 올려 phenylalanine의 생산을 유도한다. pSY130-14를 갖는 E.coli AT2471은 kanamycin 무첨가, $38.5^{\circ}C$, 48시간에서 약 30%로 plasmid가 없어지며 첨가에서 안정성이 떨어졌다가 배양시간과 더불어 올라갔는데, 이것은 생육에 피요한 kanamycin gene과 ori만이 남는 것으로 생각된다.

We cloned and expressed hepatitis B viral core antigen (HBcAg) gene in E. coli using $P_{L}$ promoter system. For optimal expression of the gene, we undertook the studies on the effects of the distance between Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequence and start codon, copy number of repressor gene, induction temperature, and the stability of the core antigen. The results demonstrated that the induction at 37.deg.C was more efficient than at 42.deg.C, and the 11 base pairs (bp) distance between SD sequence and start codon of HBcAg gene was more efficient than the 15 bp distance in E. coli. The copy number of cI857 repressor gene did not influence on the expression of HBcAg, and the expression level of HBcAg in mutant type (low protease activity) and wild type strains was almost the same. The produced core antigen appeared to be HBcAg not HBeAg judged by two different radioimmunoassat (RIA) kits. This result suggested that the antigen was stable in E. coli.i.

We have developed a modified gene replacement method using PCR products containing short homologous sequences of 40- to 50-nt. The method required $\lambda$-Red recombination functions provided under the control of a temperature-sensitive CI857 repressor expressed from the $P_{lac}$ promoter in the presence of IPTG on an easily curable helper plasmid. The method promoted the targeted gene replacements in the Escherichia coli chromosome after shifting cultures of the recombinogenic host, which carries the helper plasmid, to $42^{\circ}C$ for 15 min. Since this method employs $\lambda$-Red recombination functions expressed from the easily curable helper plasmid, multiple rounds of gene replacements in the E. coli chromosome would be possible. The procedures described herein are expected to be widely used for metabolic engineering of E. coli and other bacteria.

The heat-inducible expression vectors for Corynebacterium glutamicum and C. ammoniagenes were constructed by using the ${\lambda}O_L1$ and the cryptic promoters, CJ1 and CJ4 that express genes constitutively in C. ammoniagenes. Although the promoters were isolated from C. ammoniagenes, CJ1 and CJ4 were also active in C. glutamicum. To construct vectors, the $O_L1$ from the ${\lambda}P_L$ promoter was isolated and fused to the CJ1 and CJ4 promoters by recombinant PCR. The resulting artificial promoters, CJ1O and CJ4O, which have one ${\lambda}O_L1$, and CJ1OX2, which has two successive ${\lambda}O_L1$, were fused to the green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene followed by subcloning into pCES208. The expression of GFP in the corynebacteria harboring the vectors was regulated successfully by the temperature-sensitive cI857 repressor. Among them, C. ammoniagenes harboring plasmid pCJ1OX2G containing GFP fused to CJ1OX2 showed more GFP than the other ones and the expression was tightly regulated by the repressor. To construct the generally applicable expression vector using the plasmid pCJ1OX2G, the His-tag, enterokinase (EK) moiety, and the MCS were inserted in front of the GFP gene. Using the vector, the expression of pyrR from C. glutamicum was tried by temperature shift-up. The results indicated that the constructed vectors (pCeHEMG) can be successfully used in the expression and regulation of foreign genes in corynebacteria.

Endoglucanase gene of Pseudomonas sp. LBC505 was previously cloned in pUC19 to yield plasmid pLCl. The Pseudomonas sp. LBC505 endoglucanase gene was subcloned in a temperature-regulated Es-cherichia coli expression vector, pAS1, containing the leftward promoter $P_L$ of bacteriophage lambda. The level of gene expression was controlled by the thermal inactivation of the heat-sensitive lambda cI857 repressor. Best yield of endoglucanase was obtained by lowering the incubation temperature to $37^{\circ}C$ after induction at $42^{\circ}C$ for 1h. Under these conditions enzyme production continued for about 5h at a gradually decreasing rate. Ecoli harboring recombinant plasmid pASC10 expressed 4.3 times as much CMCase activity as E.coli containing pLCl. To enhance the expression level of endogl, ucanase gene, we have also changed the presumptive Shine-Dalgamo sequence (AGAGGT) of the gene to consensus sequence (AGGAGGT) by site-directed mutagenesis. The genes mutated were subcloned in pASl resulting in the formation of recombinant plasmid pASS50. E.coli harboring the plasmid pASS50 expressed 6.2-fold higher levels of CMCase activity than that of E.coli harboring pLC1.

The effect of induction temperature on fermentation parameters has been investigated extensively using Escherichia coli M5248[pNKM21], a producer of recombinant human interleukin-2 (rhIL-2). In this recombinant microorganism, the gene expression of rhIL-2 is regulated by the cI857 repressor and $P_L$ promoter system. The recombinant fermentation parameters studied in this work include the cell growth, protein synthesis, cell viability, plasmid stability, $\beta$-lactamase activity, and rhIL-2 productivity. Interrelationships of such fermentation parameters have been analyzed through a quantitative assessment of the experimental data set obtained at eight different culture conditions. While the expression of rhIL-2 gene was repressed at culture temperatures below $34^\circ{C}$ with little effect on other fermentation parameters, under the conditions of rhIL-2 production $>(36~44^\circ{C})$ the cell growth, plasmid stability, and $\beta$-lactamase activity were, as induction temperature was increased, more profoundly reduced. Although the rhIL-2 content in the insoluble protein fraction was maximum at $40^\circ{C}$, total rhIL-2 production in the culture volume was found to be highest at the induction temperature of $36^\circ{C}$. This was in contrast to the previously known optimum induction temperature of the P$_{L}$ promoter system $>(40~42^\circ{C})$.Explanations for such a discrepancy have been proposed based on a product formation kinetics, and their implications have been discussed in detail.l.
