GlcNAc 2-epimerase gene from human was cloned. However GIcNAc 2-epimerase was expressed in E. coli as inclusion body formation. Several approaches were tried such as expression in low temperature and low concentration of IPTG. With these treatments production of active form of human GIcNAc 2-epimerase ι ,vas enhanced. For the direct synthesis of NeuAc from GlcNAc and pyruvate, NALase and GlcNAc 2-epimerase were characterized in terms of temperature effect on activity. equilibrium and stability, inhibition by pyruvate etc. For cheap and ease preparation of both the NALase and GlcNAc 2-epimerase, pEN24ma vector was made. which express both the NALasc and GIcNAc 2-epimerase simultaneously. In addition, E. coli BL21(DE3) harboring two plasmids was also made. Of the two systems, the latter was better for the expression of both enzymes.

$B^{30}$ 위치에 homoserine이 치환된 사람 insulin 유사체 ($B^{30}$ -homoserine) insulin을 생산하기 위해, insulin의 B 사슬 유전자에 A 사슬 유전자를 직접 연결한 insulin 유전자를 설계하였다. 이 유전자는 10개의 oligonucleotide로 나누어 합성하여 T4 DNA ligase로 결합시킨 후, pUC19 plasmi의 polylinker 영역에 삽입하였다. 이 유전자의 발현을 높이기 위해 이 유전자는 다시 tac promoter의 지배를 받는 lacZ 유전자의 Cia I 또는 Hpa I 제한부위에 도입하여 융합시켰다. 이렇게 구축된 운반체 pTBA나 pKBA를 Escherichia coli JM103 균주에 형질도입시킨 후, 이를 4시간 배양한 후 0.05mM이상의 isopropyl-$\beta$-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG)를 배지에 공급해 주고 2시간 더 배양하였을 때 유전자 발현이 잘 유도되어짐을 알 수 있었다. 이 때 생산된 insulin 전구체들은 세포내 불온성인 inclusion body로 축적되어지는 것을 관찰하였으며, 그 생산량은 세포내 전체 단백질량의 30%에 달하였다.

Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) orf47 gene was characterized for the first time. The coding sequence of Bm47 was amplified and subcloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pET-30a(+) in order to produce His-tagged fusion protein in the BL21 (DE3) cells. The His-Bm47 fusion protein was expressed efficiently after induction with IPTG. The purified fusion protein was used to immunize New Zealand white rabbits to prepare polyclonal antibody. As the genome of BmNPV is available in GenBank and the EST database of BmNPV is expanding, identification of novel genes of BmNPV was conceivable by data-mining techniques and bioinformatics tools. Structural bioinformatics approach to analyze the properties of Bm47 encodes protein.

The structural $\beta$-galactosidase gene (lacZ) from Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis 7962 was cloned into plamid vector pKF18, which was designated as pKF-gal. Expression of the lacZ from L. lactis 7962 was found to be higher when cells were grown at 3$0^{\circ}C$ than 37$^{\circ}C$. Maximum $\beta$-galactosidase activity was obtained when E. coli/pKF-gal was cultivated for 6hr at 3$0^{\circ}C$ and for 3hr at 37$^{\circ}C$, and L. lactis 7962 was grown for 8hr at 3$0^{\circ}C$. Enzyme induction was achieved by the addition of lactose, galactose, or lactose+IPTG to growing culture. The addition of glucose had no effect on enzyme induction.

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.

We have got several clones from Serratia marcescens which stimulated the cells to use maltose as a carbon source in Escherichia. coli TP2139 ( lac, crp). One of the cloned genes, pCKB17, was further analyzed. In order to find whether the increased expression of the gent was under the direction of maltose metabolism, we constructed several recombinant subclones. We have found that the clone, pCKB17AV, codes maltose metabolism stimulation(mms) gene. E. coli transformed with the cloned gene showed increase in the activity of maltose utilzation, The recombinant proteins expressed by multicopy and induction with IPTG, one polypeptide of 29-kDa, was confirmed by SDS-PAGE. The overexpression of maltose-binding proter protein in the presence of mms gene was confirmed by Western blot analysis. Southern hybridization analysis confirmed that the cloned DNA fragment was originated from S. marcescens chromosomal DNA.

A tightly regulated gene expression system composed of a single-copy target gene under the control of a lac promoter derivative and lacI gene in a multicopy plasmid is proposed, and its ability to control the flux of a metabolic pathway is demonstrated. A model system to control the flux of acetyl-CoA to acetyl phosphate was constructed by integrating pta, a gene encoding phosphotransacetylase, under a tac promoter into the chromosome of E. coli with a pta-negative background and transforming a multicopy plasmid containing the $lacI^Q$ gene into the strain. The production rate of acetate was shown to be tightly controlled when varying the concentration of the inducer (IPTG) in he model system.

Overproduction of Escherichia coli thiol peroxidase in the periplasmic space was achieved by locating the appropriate gene on a downstream region of the strong T7 promoter. E. coli strain BL21 carrying the recombinant plasmid pSK-TPX was induced by IPTG, lysed, and analyzed by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A large amount of the overexpressed thiol peroxidase was located in the periplasmic space. A homogeneous thiol peroxidase was obtained from E. coli osmotic shock fluid by simple one-step gel permeation chromatography.

Rapid production of therapeutic proteins such as angiostatin and endostatin angiogenic inhibititors has been highly demanded for cancer treatment. In this regard, recombinant human angiostatin and endostatin were successfully expressed as soluble forms by maltose binding protein (MBP)-mediated fusion expression in Escherichia coli. PCR amplified, angiostatin and endostatin genes from human placenta cDNA library were inserted into an expression vector pMAL-c2e to construct prokaryotic expression vectors, pMAL-c2e/AS and pMAL-c2e/ES, respectively. Recombinant angiostatin and endostatin were efficiently expressed in E. coli origami (DE3) after IPTG induction and protein expression were confirmed by SDS-PAGE analyses. The expressed recombinant proteins were purified near homogenity using an amylose affinty column chromatography. In contrast that previous E. coli expressions were all insoluble, our results first time demonstrated that MBP fused human angiostatin and endostatin were soluble in E. coli.

Recombinant E. coli JM109(pZH3-5/pMT) harboring manganese transport gene(mntA) and metal sequestering protein, metallothionein(MT), was cultivated to accumulate cadmium in aqueous phase. Bioaccumulation followed Michaelis-Menten type kinetics. Equilibrium isotherm showed Langmuir type isotherm. IPTG induction cell showed fast $Cd^{2+}$ uptake and had higher uptake rate than wild type and no-induced cell. The optimum pH and temperature for $Cd^{2+}$ uptake was 7 and $37^{\circ}C$, respectively. Manganese (0.01M) inhibited the $Cd^{2+}$ accumulation. However, $Cu^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$ and $Pb^{2+}$ did not affect the $Cd^{2+}$ bioaccumulation.
