A lipase from Aeromonas sp. LPB 4, a psychrotophile isolated from a sea sediment was purified and characterized. The lipase was purified 53.5 fold to a homogeneous state by acetone precipitation and QAE sephadex column chromatography and its molecular weight was determined to be 50 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The enzyme exhibited maximum activity at 10$^{\circ}C$ and was stable at temperatures lower than 50$^{\circ}C$. This lipase favored substrates containing medium carbon chain of acyl group, while too low and high carbon chain decreased its activity. The lipolytic activity of purified lipase was slightly increased by the addition of 0.1% detergent, but decreased by 1% of detergent. Butanol severely decreased the lipase activity while methanol increased the activity about 15%.

Water-sludge bacteria were screened to find a lipase enantioselectively hydrolyzing itraconazole precursor, which is well known as the starting material of antifungal drug agents. A bacterial strain was isolated and identified as Acinetobacter junii SY-01. After the strain was cultivated, the enzyme was purified 39.4-fold using ultrafiltration and gel filtration through a Sephadex G-100 chromatographic column and the activity yield was 34.9%. The molecular weight of the enzyme was about 40 kDa, as measured by SDS-PAGE, and the optimum pH was 7.0- 9.0 and stable at pH 6.0- 9.0. The optimum temperature was 45- $5^{\circ}C$, and 73% of the enzymes activity remained after incubation at 70% for 1 h. Enzyme activity was enhanced by gall powder, sodium deoxycholate, a cationic detergent Tween 80, and a non-ionic detergent Triton X-100, but was markedly inhibited by metal ions such as $Hg^{2＋},Cu^{2＋},Ni^{2＋}/,Ca^{2＋}$, and an anionic-surfactant sodium dodecylsulfate. The $K_{m}$ values for (R)- and (S)-enantiomers of the itraconazole precursor were 0.385 and 21.83 mM, respectively, and the $V_{max} values ($\mu$Mㆍmin^{-1}.)$ were 6.73 and 6.49, respectively. The acetyl group among the different acyl moieties of itraconazole precursor showed the highest enantioselectivity for the hydrolysis by the Acinetobacter junii SY-01 lipase, and the lipase from Acinetobacter junii SY-01 displayed better enantioselectivity than that of commercially available lipases and esterases.

Bacillus licheniformis로 부터 phospholipase D (PLD)로 추정되는 유전자를 PCR 기술을 이용하여 분리하여 pGEM-T easy 운반체에 cloning 하였다. 분리된 유전자는 His6가 붙은 pET-21 운반체를 이용하여 E. coli BL21 (DE3)에서 발현시켰다. 재 조합된 PLD는 nikel-nitrilotriacetic acid (Ni-NTA) resin을 갖는 column을 이용하여 affinity chromatography로 분리하였다. SDS-PAGE 분석 결과 PLD로 추정되는 단백질은 약 44 kDa의 주요 단일밴드를 나타내었다. 분리된 효소의 최적 활성도는 pH 7.0에서 나타났으며 이 조건에서 또한 효소가 제일 안정되었다. 효소활성에 미치는 최적 온도는 $40-45^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 형성되어 비교적 높은 온도를 나타내었으며 비교적 넓은 범위의 온도에서 상당히 높은 효소 활성도를 나타내었다. 여러 가지 detergent 중에서 Triton X-100을 0.6 mM까지 첨가할 경우 PLD의 효소활성도는 점진적으로 증가하여 대조구 대비 최대 181%의 효소 활성도를 나타내었다.

The hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA genome is replicated by an RNA replicase complex (RC) consisting of cellular proteins and viral nonstructural (NS) proteins, including NS5B, an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and key enzyme for viral RNA genome replication. The HCV RC is known to be associated with an intracellular membrane structure, but the cellular components of the RC and their roles in the formation of the HCV RC have not been well characterized. In this study, we took a proteomic approach to identify stomatin, a member of the integral proteins of lipid rafts, as a cellular protein interacting with HCV NS5B. Co-immunoprecipitation and co-localization studies confirmed the interaction between stomatin and NS5B. We demonstrated that the subcellular fraction containing viral NS proteins and stomatin displays RdRp activity. Membrane flotation assays with the HCV genome replication-competent subcellular fraction revealed that the HCV RdRp and stomatin are associated with the lipid raft-like domain of membranous structures. Stomatin silencing by RNA interference led to the release of NS5B from the detergent-resistant membrane, thereby inhibiting HCV replication in both HCV subgenomic replicon-harboring cells and HCV-infected cells. Our results identify stomatin as a cellular protein that plays a role in the formation of an enzymatically active HCV RC on a detergent-resistant membrane structure.

세제에 의하여 대장균의 periplasm에서 penicillin G amidase (PGA)를 방출하는 방법을 연구하였다. 결과적으로 세제와 lysozyme의 혼합 작용이 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 세포 투과성의 최적 조건을 알아보기 위하여 세제의 종류, 농도, pH, 반응 시간, 온도 등의 영향을 살펴보았다. 그리하여 대장균에서 재조합 PGA를 periplasm에서 방출하는 모델을 만들 수 있었고 방출된 PGA를 농축할 수 있었다. 실리카 구슬을 이용한 고정화 시스템으로 PGA 용액을 농축할 수 있었으며, 더 이상의 정제 과정 없이 순수하게 추출 할 수 있었다. 고정화된 PGA는 penicillin G 생성의 원료인 6-APA를 생산하는데 사용할 수 있었다. 이 방법은 대장균으로부터 재조합 단백질을 추출하는 간단한 방법이며 고정화 PGA를 이용하여 ${\beta}-lactam$ 항생물질의 산업적 생산 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Bacillus clausii I-52 which produced SDS- and $H_2O_2$-tolerant extracellular alkaline protease (BCAP) was isolated from heavily polluted tidal mud flat of West Sea in Incheon, Korea and stable strain (transformant C5) of B. clausii I-52 harboring another copy of BCAP gene in the chromosome was developed using the chromosome integration vector, pHPS9-fuBCAP. When investigated the production of BCAP using B. clausii transformant C5 through pilot-scale submerged fermentation (500 L) at $37^{\circ}C$ for 30 h with an aeration rate of 1 vvm and agitation rate of 250 rpm, protease yield of approximately 105,700 U/mL was achieved using an optimized medium (soybean meal 2%, wheat flour 1%, sodium citrate 0.5%, $K_2HPO_4$ 0.4%, $Na_2HPO_4$ 0.1%, NaCl 0.4%, $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ 0.01%, $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$ 0.05%, liquid maltose 2.5%, $Na_2CO_3$ 0.6%). The enzyme stability of BCAP was increased by addition of polyols (10%, v/v) and also, the stabilities of BCAP towards not only the thermal-induced inactivation at $50^{\circ}C$ but also the SDS and $H_2O_2$-induced inactivation at $50^{\circ}C$ were enhanced. Among the polyols examined, the best result was obtained with propylene glycol (10%, v/v). The BCAP supplemented with propylene glycol exhibited extreme stability against not only the detergent components such as ${\alpha}$-orephin sulfonate (AOS) and zeolite but also the commercial detergent preparations. The granulized enzyme of BCAP was prepared with approximately 1,310,000 U/g of granule. Wash performance analysis using EMPA test fabrics revealed that BCAP granule exhibited high efficiency for removal of protein stains in the presence of anionic surfactants as well as bleaching agents. When compared to Savinase 6T$^{(R)}$ and Everlase 6T$^{(R)}$ manufactured by Novozymes, BCAP under this study probably showed similar or higher efficiency for the removal of protein stains. These results suggest that the alkaline protease produced from B. clausii transformant C5 showing high stability against detergents and high wash performance has significant potential and a promising candidate for use as a detergent additive.

A protease produced by Bacillus polyfermenticus SCD was purified and characterized as a new detergent material. The protease was purified from supernatant produced by B. polyfermenticus SCD, by ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography on a DEAE-Sephadex A-50, and finally gel filtration chromatography on Sephadex G-50. The molecular mass of this enzyme was 44 kDa based on SDS-PAGE. The optimum temperature and pH were $50^{\circ}C$ and pH 8.0. The ranges of its stability to the pH and temperature were 7.0 to 9.0 and under $40^{\circ}C$, respectively. The enzyme was highly stable in the presence of the surfactants like Triton X-100 (0.1%), showing a 2-fold increase in its proteolytic activity. However, the enzyme was slightly inhibited by the chelating agent EDTA (1 mM). The enzyme has a maximum activity at $50^{\circ}C$ and the activity can be increased by surfactants such as Triton X-100 and Tween 80.
