  • Three combinations of molecular chaperones from Escherichia coli (i.e., DnaK-DnaJ-GrpE-GroEL-GroES, GroEL-GroES, and DnaK-DnaJ-GrpE) were overproduced in E. coli BL21, and their in vitro stabilizing effects on a nitrile hydratase (NHase) were assessed. The optimal gene combination, E. coli groEL-groES (ecgroEL-ES), was introduced into Rhodococcus ruber TH3. A novel engineered strain, R. ruber TH3G was constructed with the native NHase gene on its chromosome and the heterologous ecgroEL-ES genes in a shuttle plasmid. In R. ruber TH3G, NHase activity was enhanced 37.3% compared with the control, TH3. The in vivo stabilizing effect of ecGroEL-ES on the NHase was assessed using both acrylamide immersion and heat shock experiments. The inactivation behavior of the in vivo NHase after immersion in a solution of dynamically increased concentrations of acrylamide was particularly evident. When the acrylamide concentration was increased to 500 g/l (50%), the remaining NHase activity in TH3G was 38%, but in TH3, activity was reduced to 10%. Reactivation of the in vivo NHases after varying degrees of inactivation was further assessed. The activity of the reactivated NHase was more than 2-fold greater in TH3G than in TH3. The hydration synthesis of acrylamide catalyzed by the in vivo NHase was performed with continuous acrylonitrile feeding. The final concentration of acrylamide was 640 g/l when catalyzed by TH3G, compared with 490 g/l acrylamide by TH3. This study is the first to show that the chaperones ecGroEL-ES work well in Rhodococcus and simultaneously possess protein-folding assistance functions and the ability to stabilize and reactivate the native NHases.

  • Chaperone 분자는 세포 내에서 새로 합성된 polypeptides의 misfolding을 보호하는 역할을 가진다. 이런 chaperone 분자와의 공발현은 활성형 재조합 단백질의 생산을 증가를 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 E. cozi에서 B. macerans 유래 cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase)의 활성형 생산에 GroEL/ES chaperone과의 공발현의 효과에 대해 조사하였다. cgt와 groEL/ES 유전자출 발현하는 pTCGT1과 pGro7은 각각 T7 promoter와 araB promoter에 의해 조절되고 이들을 E. coli cell에 co-transformation시켰다. 재조합 E. coli에서 IPTG와 L-arabinose의 최적 농도를 결정하기 위해 행한 결과 1 mM IPTG, 0.3 mg L-arabinose/$m\ell$에서 가장 높은 CGTase 활성을 나타내었다. 그리고 tube에서는 L-arabinose와 IPTG를 각각 0.4~0.5 $OD_{600}$과 0.8~l.0 $OD_{600}$에서 첨가하였을 때 활성형 CGTase의 생산이 증가되었다. GroEL/ES 공발현 조건에서는 가용성 CGTase 활성이 0.7~0.73 unit/$m\ell$로 단독 발현의 0.36~0.56 unit/$m\ell$에 비해 약 1.5 배 정도 증가함을 알 수 있었다. SDS-PAGE 분석에서는 GroEL/ES 공발현 조건에서 총 CGTase의 33.6%정도가 가용성 형태로 생산됨을 알 수 있었다.

  • Some proteins of E. coli are stable at temperatures significantly higher than $49^{\circ}C$, the maximum temperature at which the organism can grow. The heat stability of such proteins would be a property which is inherent to their structures, or it might be acquired by evolution for their specialized functions. In this study, we describe the identification of 17 heat-stable proteins from E. coli. Approximately one-third of these proteins were recognized as having functions in the protection of other proteins against denaturation. These included chaperonin (GroEL and GroES), molecular chaperones (DnaK and FkpA) and peptidyl prolyl isomerases (trigger factor and FkpA). Another common feature was that five of these proteins (GroEL, GroES, Ahpc, RibH and ferritin) have been shown to form a macromolecular structure. These results indicated that the heat stability of certain proteins may have evolved for their specialized functions, allowing them to cope with harsh environments, including high temperatures.

  • The effects of coexpression of GroEL/ES and DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE chaperones on the productivity of the soluble form of human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (hG-CSF) in E. coli were examined. Recombinant hG-CSF protein was coexpressed with DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE or GroEL/ES chaperones under the control of the araB or Pzt-1 promoter, respectively. The optimal concentration of L-arabinose for the expression of DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE was found to be 1 mg/ml. When L-arabinose was added at $OD_{600}$=0.2 (early-exponential phase), soluble hG-CSF production was greatly increased. In addition, it was observed that the DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE and GroEL/ES chaperones had no synergistic effects on preventing aggregation of hG-CSF protein. Consequently, by coexpression of the DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE chaperone, the signal intensity of the hG-CSF protein band in the soluble fraction of cell lysate was increased from $3.5\%\;to\;13.9\%$, and Western blot analysis also revealed about a 4-5-fold increase of production of soluble hG-CSF over the non-induction case of DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE.

  • Fucosyltransferase는 퓨코실화된 올리고당을 생성하는데 필수적인 효소로서, GDP-β-L-fucose로 부터 fucose를 수용체로 전이시켜 알파 글리코사이드 결합을 형성하는 과정을 촉매한다. 하지만 Escherichia coli 에서 발현시켰을 때, 대부분의 경우 inclusion body를 형성하여 비활성으로 생성되었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Helicobacter pylori 26695에서 유래한 α1,2-fucosyltransferase (FucT2) 유전자의 수용성 발현을 위하여, E. coli에서 샤페론 단백질인 GroEL, GroES, DnaK, DnaJ, GrpE과 함께 동시발현시켰다. SDS-PAGE 분석결과, 5가지 샤페론 단백질과 함께 발현되었으며, 수용성 FucT2 단백질이 증가하였고 효소활성은 5배 증가하였다. 결론적으로, 샤페론 동시발현기술을 이용하여 대장균에서 FucT2 수용성 생산을 증가시킬 수 있었으며 본 수용성 효소는 퓨코실화된 올리고당을 효율적으로 생산하는데 이용될 수 있다.

  • When the alginate lyase gene (aly) from Pseudoalteromonas elyakovii was expressed in E. coli, most of the gene product was organized as aggregated insoluble particles known as inclusion bodies. To examine the effects of chaperones on soluble and nonaggregated form of alginate lyase in E. coli, we constructed plasm ids designed to permit the coexpression of aly and the DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE or GroEL/ES chaperones. The results indicate that coexpression of aly with the DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE chaperone together had a marked effect on the yield alginate lyase as a soluble and active form of the enzyme. It is speculated this result occurs through facilitation of the correct folding of the protein. The optimal concentration of L-arabinose required for the induction of the DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE chaperone was found to be 0.05mg/mL. An analysis of the protein bands on SDS-PAGE gel indicated that at least 37% of total alginate lyase was produced in the soluble fraction when the DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE chaperone was coexpressed.

  • E. coli에서 Pseudoalteromonas elyakovii 유래의 alginate lyase유전자(aly)를 발현시킬 때, 대부분의 단백질이 불용성 내포체 형태로 발현됨을 확인하였다. Alginate lyase를 가용성 활성형으로 생산하기 위해 aly와 DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE 또는 aly와 GroEL/ES을 공발현하는 형질전환체를 얻었다. 공발현 결과, 단백질의 올바른 접힘을 도와주는 DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE chaperone이 가용성 및 활성형의 alginate lyase 생산에 매우 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE chaperone의 발현에 유도제인 L-arabinose 최적 농도는 0.05 mg/ml이었으며, 이러한 공발현에 의해 약 34%의 alginate lyase가 가용성 분획에서 생산되었다. 또한 10%의 cetylpyridinium chloride를 첨가함으로써, 공발현 콜로니 주위에 투명환이 형성됨을 확인할 수 있었고, 이는 활성형 alginate lyase 효소에 의해 alginate가 분해되었음을 시사하였다.

  • Soybean seed ferritin is essential for human iron supplementation and iron deficiency anemia prevention because it contains abundant bioavailable iron and is frequently consumed in the human diet. However, it is poorly understood in regards its several properties, such as iron mineralization, subunit assembly, and protein folding. To address these issues, we decided to prepare the soybean seed ferritin complex via a recombinant DNA approach. In this paper, we report a rapid and simple Escherichia coli expression system to produce the soybean seed ferritin complex. In this system, two subunits of soybean seed ferritin, H-2 and H-1, were encoded in a single plasmid, and optimal expression was achieved by additionally coexpressing a team of molecular chaperones, trigger factor and GroEL-GroES. The His-tagged ferritin complex was purified by $Ni^{2+}$ affinity chromatography, and an intact ferritin complex was obtained following His-tagged enterokinase (His-EK) digestion. The purified ferritin complex synthesized in E. coli demonstrated some reported features of its native counterpart from soybean seed, including an apparent molecular weight, multimeric assembly, and iron uptake activity. We believe that the strategy described in this paper may be of general utility in producing other recombinant plant ferritins built up from two types of subunits.
