Cop protein has been overexpressed in Escherichia coli using a T7 RNA polymerase system. Purification to apparent homogeneity was achieved by the sequential chromatography on ion exchange, affinity chromatography, and reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography system. The molecular weight of the purified Cop was estimated as 6.1 kDa by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). But the molecular mass of the native state Cop was shown to be 19 kDa by an analytical high performance size exclusion chromatography, suggesting a trimer-like structure in 50 mM Tris-HCI buffer (pH 7.5) containing 100 mM NaCl. Cop protein Was calculated to contain $39.1% {\alpha}-helix, 16.8% {\beta}-sheet$, 17.4% turn, and 26.8% random structure. The DNA binding property of Cop protein expressed in E. coli Was preserved during the expression and purification process. The isoelectric point of Cop was determined to be 9.0. The results of amino acid composition analysis and N-terminal amino acid sequencing of Cop showed that it has the same amino acid composition and N-terminal amino acid sequence as those deduced from its DNA sequence analysis, except for the partial removal of N-terminal methionine residue by methionyl-aminopeptidase in E. coli.

Alkaline .alpha.-amylase expressed in the transformant, Baciollus subtills MB809, containing alkaline amylase gene cloned from alkalophilic Bacillus sp. AL-8, was purified through for step separation processes. The purified alkaline .alpha.-amylase had molecular weight of app[roximately 59, 000 daltons on SDS-PAGE and Sephaex G-100 gel filtration. Amino acid sequence of terminal portion of the enzyme was analyzed with pure amylase eluted form the SDS-PAGE gel. N-terminal amino acid sequence of .alpha.-amylase was determined by the Edman degradation method and resulted in $NH_{2}$-ser-thr-ala-pro-ser-(ile)-lys-ala-gly-thr-(ile)-leu. For C-terminal amino acid sequencing, purified .alpha.-amylase was digested with carboxypuptidase A and B, and reverse-phase HPLC gradient elution system resulted in -thr-trp-pro-lys-COOH.

The complete nucleotide sequence of the Bacillus circulans F-2 RSDA gene, coding for raw starch digesting a-amylase (RSDA), has been determined. The RSDA structure gene consists of an open reading frame of 2508 bp. Six bp upstream of the translational start codon of the RSDA is a typical gram-positive Shine-Dalgarno sequence and the RSDA encodes a preprotein of 836 amino acids with an Mr of 96, 727. The gene was expressed from its own regulatory region in E. coli and two putative consensus promoter sequences were identified upstream of a ribosome binding site and an ATG start codon. Confirmation of the nucleotide sequence was obtained and the signal peptide cleavage site was identified by comparing the predicted amino acid sequence with that derived by N-terminal analysis of the purified RSDA. The deduced N-terminal region of the RSDA conforms to the general pattern for the signal peptides of secreted prokaryotic proteins. The complete amino acid sequence was deduced and homology with other enzymes was compared. The results suggested that the Thr-Ser-rich hinge region and the non-catalytic domain are necessary for efficient adsorption onto raw substrates, and the catalytic domain (60 kDa) is necessary for the hydrolysis of substrates, as suggested in previous studies (8, 9).

The wild-type and temperature-sensitive (ts) repressor genes were cloned from the temperate mycobacteriophage L1 and its mutant L1cIts391, respectively. A sequencing analysis revealed that the $131^{st}$ proline residue of the wild-type repressor was changed to leucine in the ts mutant repressor. The 100% identity that was discovered between the two DNA regions of phages L1 and L5, carrying the same sets of genes including their repressor genes, strengthened the speculation that L1 is a minor variant of phage L5 or vice versa. A comparative analysis of the repressor proteins of different mycobacteriophages suggests that the mycobacteriophage-specific repressor proteins constitute a new family of repressors, which were possibly evolved from a common ancestor. Alignment of the mycobacteriophage-specific repressor proteins showed at least 7 blocks (designated I-VII) that carried 3-8 identical amino acid residues. The amino acid residues of blocks V, VI, and some residues downstream to block VI are crucial for the function of the L1 (or L5) repressor. Blocks I and II possibly form the turn and helix 2 regions of the HTH motif of the repressor. Block IV in the L1 repressor is part of the most charged region encompassing amino acid residues 72-92, which flanks the putative N-terminal basic (residues 1-71) and C-terminal acidic (residues 93-183) domains of L1 repressor.

Euphorbia lathyris의 유관세포로부터 분비되는 수용성 latex단백질을 10% SDS-polyacrylamide 전기영동으로 분리하여 특징적으로 잘 나타나고 있는 ELp65, ELp55, ELp43, ELp32 그리고 ELp23 등의 주요단백질을 확인하였다. 이들 latex 주요단백질들 중에서 ELp65는 ammonium sulfate 침전, gel permeation chromatography 그리고 ion exchange chromatography 등의 방법으로 순수 분리하였는데 ELp65의 N-terminal amino acid 서열분석에 의하면 이는 토마토의 p69a subtilisin-like pretense의 mature peptide의 앞부분과 강한 유사성을 지니고 있었으며 식물방어와 관련된 기능이 제시되었다. PCR증폭에 의하여 클로닝된 토마토의 p69a DNA를 probe로 이용하여 Southern blot hybridization을 수행한 결과 E. lathyris genome은 토마토의 subtilisin-like proteases와 유사한 정보를 지닐 수도 있는 3-5 유전자들로 구성된 gene family가 분석되었다.

A recombinant form of hirudin, a potent thrombin-specific inhibitor derived from the bloodsucking leech, was expressed as a secretory product in Saccharomyces cerevisiae under the control of GALl0 promoter and the mating factor $\alpha$pre-pro leader sequence. In an attempt to produce recombinant hirudin (r-Hir) of therapeutic purity in large quantities, the fed-batch fermentation was carried out by using this recombinant yeast, and subsequently downstream processing was developed with the preparative-scale column chromatography systems. About 234 mg/l of biologically active r-Hir was produced as a secretory product by the fed-batch fermentation strategy developed for an efficient downstream processing. Using a two-step chromatography process (an anion exchange chromatography followed by the reverse phase HPLC), the r-Hir was purified to>98% with an overall recovery yield of 84%. According to the N-terminal amino acid sequencing, the purified r-Hir was found to have the predicted N-terminal amino acid sequence. The biological activity of the purified r-Hir to inhibit thrombin was also identical to that of the commercial hirudin.

The filamentous ascomycete Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is well known for its ability to produce a large variety of hydrolytic enzymes. Two $\alpha$-amylases ScAmy54 and ScAmy43 predicted to play an important role in starch degradation were showed to produce specific oligosaccharides essentially maltotriose that have a considerable commercial interest. Primary structure of the two enzymes was established by N-terminal sequencing, MALDI-TOF masse spectrometry and cDNA cloning. The two proteins have the same N-terminal catalytic domain and ScAmy43 derived from ScAmy54 by truncation of 96 amino acids at the carboxyl-terminal region. Data of genomic analysis suggested that the two enzymes originated from the same $\alpha$-amylase gene and that truncation of ScAmy54 to ScAmy43 occurred probably during S. sclerotiorum cultivation. The structural gene of Scamy54 consisted of 9 exons and 8 introns, containing a single 1,500-bp open reading frame encoding 499 amino acids including a signal peptide of 21 residues. ScAmy54 exhibited high amino acid homology with other liquefying fungal $\alpha$-amylases essentially in the four conserved regions and in the putative catalytic triad. A 3D structure model of ScAmy54 and ScAmy43 was built using the 3-D structure of 2guy from A. niger as template. ScAmy54 is composed by three domains A, B, and C, including the well-known $(\beta/\alpha)_8$ barrel motif in domain A, have a typical structure of $\alpha$-amylase family, whereas ScAmy43 contained only tow domains A and B is the first fungal $\alpha$-amylase described until now with the smallest catalytic domain.

Carboxypeptidase Z(CPZ) cDNA of Absidia zychae was experssed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The expressed CPZ(YCPZ) was secreted about 30 mg/l into the medium and has a little higher molecular weight than the wild type CPZ in SDS-PAGE. By the result of N-terminal amino acid sequencing, YCPZ has additional 15 amino acids residues in N-terminus of CPZ. But YCPZ shows no difference with CPZ in enzyme activity and substrate specificity. For the identification of processing mechanism of YCPZ, 36-Arg was changed to 36-Thr by site specific mutagenesis. Mutant YCPZ does not processed at 36-Thr. It was, therefore, concluded that the YCPZ was processed by KEX2. According to endo F treatment, high amount of carbohydrate was N-glycosylated in YCPZ.
