  • 곤충에서 유래한 항균 펩티드, defensin을 항균활성이 있는 활성적인 형태로 분비하는 Pichia 균주를 개발하기 위한 일환으로서 MF$\alpha$1 prerpo sequence와 defensin 합성유전자를 pichia 발현 벡터에 재조합하여 형질전환하고 아미노산 histidine을 첨가하지 않은 최소 배지에서 형질전환체를 일차적으로 선별하였다. 선별한 형질전환체를 대상으로 항생제 G-418에 대한 내성과 M. luteus를 시험균으로 사용하여 생육환 저해를 통한 defensin의 세포 외 분비를 조사하여 4 균주를 선택하고 분석하였다. Southern hybridizaion을 통해 숙주의 염색체 DNA에 삽입한 defensin 유전자가 유지됨을 확인하였으며 전체 RNA를 분리하고 RT-PCR을 수행하여 defensin mRNA를 증폭하고 Southern hybridization을 실시한 결과 증폭된 밴드는 probe로 사용한 defensin 유전자에 의해 양성 신호가 나타났다. 배양시간에 따른 4 균주의 세포성장과 항균활성을 비교하기 위해 BMMY 배지에서 96시간 배양하였다. 세포성장은 모두 유사한 양상을 보였다. 세포성장은 48시간 동안 급격하게 증가한 후 그 이후로는 정지기에 도달되었다. 항균활성도 48시간까지 급격히 증가하였으며 항균활성이 가장 높은 형질전환체 균주 3는 72시간 배양 시 550 AU/$m\ell$을 나타내었다.

  • Interest in research on various medicinal plants has increased globally over the last few decades, possibly due to their possible antibacterial and antioxidant activities. The present study was conducted to verify the antioxidant effects, antibacterial activity, and collagen synthesis and cell viability outcomes of adipocytes upon exposure to Abeliophyllum distichum Nakai (AdN). Antibacterial activity was measured through the Disc diffusion method to compare the growth ability of pathogenic microorganisms (E.coli, Salmonella). The absorbance was measured at 560 nm to calculate the active oxygen scavenging ability. Fibroblasts were dispensed in a 96-well plate at a density of 1 × 105 cells·well-1. The amount of procollagen was measured in each case using a procollagen type 1 C-peptide EIA KIT. The cytotoxicity of the Abeliophyllum distichum Nakai extract against animal adipocytes (Hanwoo backfat cells) was determined using a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS) assay, a method that measures the conversion of MTS to Formazan by means of mitochondrial dehydrogenases. The concentrations of the samples were made to be 0.0125, 0025, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.5% and all were -completely absorbed into the disc in an incubator at 37℃ for 24 to 36 hours. For the 0.125 mg·disc-1, effects of Abeliophyllum distichum Nakai on the antioxidant effect, antibacterial activity, and cell viability of adipocytes were found. However, Abeliophyllum distichum Nakai had no effect on collagen synthesis, thus suggesting that AdN extracts may be useful for the prevention and/or treatment of obesity.

  • A synthetic cecropin A(1-13)-melittin(1-13) [CA-ME] hybrid peptide was known to be an antimicrobial peptide having strong antibacterial, antifungal and antitumor activity with minimal cytotoxic effect against human erythrocyte. Analogues were synthesized to investigate the influences of the flexible hinge region of CA-ME on the antibiotic activity. Antibiotic activity of the peptides was measured by the growth inhibition against bac-terial, fungal and tumor cells and vesicle-aggregating or disrupting activity. The deletion of Gln-Gly-Ile (P1) or Gly-Gln-Gly-Ile-Gly (P3) from CA-ME brought about a significant decrease on the antibiotic activities. In contrast, Gly-Ile-Gly deletion (P2) from CA-ME or Pro insertion (P5) instead of Gly-Gln-Gly-Ile-Gly of CA-ME retained antibiotic activity. This result indicated that the flexible hinge or β-bend structure provided by Gly-Gln-Gly-Ile-Gly, Gln-Gly, or Pro in the central region of the peptides is requisite for its effective antibiotic activity and may facilitate easily the hydrophobic C-terminal region of the peptide to penetrate the lipid bilayers of the target cell membrane. In contrast, P4 and P6 with Gly-Gln-Gly-Pro-Gly or Gly-Gln-Pro in the central region of the peptide caused a drastic reduction on the antibiotic activities. This result suggested that the con-secutive β-bend structure provided by Gly-Gln-Gly-Pro-Gly or Gly-Gln-Pro in the central hinge region of the peptide seems to interrupt the ion channel/pore formation on the target cell membranes.

  • 서해안에 서식하는 해양생물인 전복은 항산화 및 항염증 효과가 있으며, 항생제 개발 및 화장품 원료 등 다양한 산업에 활용될 수 있는 잠재력을 가진 자원이다. 본 연구에서 우리는 서해안의 다양한 해양 생물 중에서 전복을 선택하였으며, 전복에서 분리한 항균펩타이드(AMP)를 이용하여 항균펩타이드 유도체인 Ab4-7를 규명하고 생리활성을 연구하였다. Ab4-7의 항염증 효능을 확인하기 위해 염증이 유도된 RAW 264.7에 Ab4-7을 처리한 결과, 염증성 사이토카인, TLR4, TNF-α, IL-1β, COX-2, iNOS 등을 억제하고 항산화와 관련된 유전인자인 HO-1의 mRNA 발현을 증가시켰다. Ab4-7의 강력한 항산화 및 항염증 효과를 바탕으로, 염증이 유도된 RAW 264.7 세포에서 Ab4-7이 extrocellular matrix metalloproteinase (ECM) 분해에 관여하여 다양한 염증성 피부질환을 유도하는 유전자인 matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs)를 조절하는 효과를 RT-PCR을 통해 확인하였다. Ab4-7은 강력한 항염증 및 항산화 효과를 가지고 있으며, 항염증 및 항산화 효과를 통한 MMPs 관련 유전인자 조절을 통해 다양한 염증성 피부질환 치료제의 기능성 재료로 활용될 수 있다고 사료된다.

  • 항균 펩타이드는 동물과 식물이 가지고 있는 고유의 항균 물질로 적은 양으로도 강한 항균활성을 나타내며 이외에도 항바이러스, 항산화 등 다양한 기능을 가지고 있다. 식물은 물과 햇빛으로 키울 수 있어 적은 비용으로 대량 생산이 가능하다. 식물의 엽록체를 형질전환 시켜 항균 펩타이드를 생산하면 단백질 발현량이 증가하고 꽃가루에 의한 유전자 이동이 일어나지 않기 때문에 생태계가 오염될 가능성이 적다. 그러나 형질전환 된 엽록체를 이용하여 재조합 단백질을 생산하면 단백질이 분해되고 용해도가 감소한다. 이를 해결하기 위해 융합 단백질 종류 중 하나인 SUMO를 발현시킬 재조합 단백질과 융합하여 제작하였다. 항균 펩타이드 stomoxyn은 침파리(stable fly)에 있는 항균물질이다. Stomoxyn은 α-helix 구조이고 양친매성이어서 박테리아 세포막에 부착된 후 세포막을 용해시킨다. 본 연구에서는 stomoxyn을 식물 엽록체와 대장균에서 발현시키기 위한 형질전환 벡터를 제작하였고, 이 벡터를 이용하여 대장균에서 stomoxyn의 발현을 확인하였다. 대장균에서 발현된 stomoxyn을 nickel column과 SUMOase를 처리하여 정제한 후 agar diffusion assay를 이용하여 항균 활성을 확인하였다. 또한 식물 엽록체에서 벡터의 삽입을 확인하기 위해 EGFP 유전자를 사용하여 확인하였다.

  • Indolicidin has been known to have a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activities against Gram negative and positive bacteria. Its eight analogues were chemically synthesized. The analogue design was based on the analysis of sequence to elucidate the role of some residues in the antibacterial mechanism of indolicidin. Bactericidal activities were assayed against Escherichia coli and Proteus vulgaris, and the membrane perturbing abilities of the peptides were assayed using a dye containing liposome. Among the eight analogues, $[Gly^4, Gly^6]-Indo,\;[Ile^6,Ile^8]-Indo,\;[Lys^{12}]-Indo$ and $[Thr^2,Tyr^9]-Indo$ showed enhanced antibacterial activities. These results suggest that proline and cationic residues are important in the bactericidal activity of indolicidin. We tried to describe the antimicrobial mechanism of indolicidin with these results.

  • Antimicrobial cationic peptides have attracted increasing research and clinical interest as a natural antibiotics due to their broad spectrum of antimicrobial activites and the rapid development of multidrug-resistant pathogenic microorganisms. In this study, first, we synthesized artificial fusion partner and cationic peptide genes (lactoferricin, magainin, protegrin-1, and indolicidin). Second, we constructed recombinant expression vectors and then transformed Pichia pastoris. Finally, expressed cationic peptides were purified and tested for their antimicrobial activites. Antimicrobial activity has been tested upon the appearance of clearing zone on the plate with the lawn of gram negative E.coli XL- I blue and garm positive Staphylococcus aureus. Protegrin-1 and Indolicidin have apparant activity of cationic peotides. This fusion technique may lead to a general and suitable tool for production of pure antimicrobial cationic peptides in Pichia pastoris.

  • Peptide deformylase (PDF) is essential and unique to bacteria for cytoplasmic protein synthesis, but not required in eukaryotes, thus making it an attractive target for the discovery of novel antibacterial drugs. Protein synthesis in eubacteria, under normal conditions, is initiated by formyl-methionyl-tRNA. PDF removes the formyl-group of N- formylmethionine of newly synthesized polypeptides to produce a mature protein. In this study, a pdf gene from Staphylococcus aureus 6538p was cloned in pET-14b vector and transformed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). (omitted)

  • The insect baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS) is useful for producing biologically active recombinant proteins. However, the overexpression of heterologous proteins using this system often results in misfolded proteins and the formation of protein aggregates. To overcome this limitation, we developed a versatile baculovirus expression and secretion system using Bombyx mori protein disulfide isomerase (bPDI) as a fusion partner. bPDI gene fusion was found to improve the secretions and antibacterial activities of recombinant nuecin and enbocin proteins. Thus, we conclude that bPDI gene fusion is a useful addition to BEVS for the large-scale production of bioactive recombinant proteins.
