The alkaline protease produced by Sarcodon aspratus(Berk) S. Ito. was purified from its fruit bodies. The enzyme was purified by using ammonium sulfate fractionation, tris-acryl CM-cellulose column chromtography and chromatofocusing. The protease migrated as one major band with a molecular weight of about 29,000 dalton on sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The amino acid sequence of the N-terminal residues(21) of the enzyme was determined by automated sequence analysis. The sequence was Val-Thr-Thr-Lys-Gln-Thr-Asn-Ala-Pro-Trp-Gly-Leu-Gly-Asn-Ile-Ser-Thr-Thr-Asn-Lys-Leu. Comparison of this sequence with the N-terminal sequence of the p-roteinase K from Tritirachium album showed high similarity, i. e. 57.8% identical residues. The protease displayed a relatively high stability in sodium dodecyl sulfate.

The blocked N-terminus and N-terminal sequence of soybean B-amylase were aetermined by analyzing the acidic peptides derived on peptic digestion of the enzyme. The acidic peptides were separated from the digest on a Dowex 50$\times$2 column(1X5cm) and purified by reversed phase-high performance liquid chromatography(RP-HPLC). The major acidic peptide, PEP-1, was a heptapeptlde. The N-terminal 7 amino acid sequence of soybean B-amylase was deduced to be acetyl-Ala-Thf-Ser-Asp-Ser-Asn-Met- from the results of sequence analysis of PEP-1 and amino acid analysis of other acidic peptides.

본 연구에서는 이 전 연구에서 단일 탄소원과 질소원 및 에너지원으로 aniline을 이용하는 Delftia sp. JK-2에서 분리, 정제된 바 있는 C2,3O의 N-말단 아미노산과 DNA 서열을 분석하였다. Aniline에서 배양한 Delftia sp. JK-2에서 분리된 약 35kDa의 C2,3O의 N-말단 아미노산 서열을 분석 한 결과 $^1MGVMRIGHASLKVMDMDAAVRHYENV^{26}$로 Pseudomonas sp. AW-2와 Comamonas sp. JS765의 C2,3O와 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 위에서 확인된 아미노산 서열을 바탕으로 제작된 primer와 JK-2의 total genomic DNA를 기질로 사용하여 PCR을 수행한 결과 약 950 bp의 유전자 증폭산물을 획득하였다. 이 증폭산물 중 정확히 확인된 890 bp의 염기서열을 분석한 결과 Delftia JK-2의 C2,3O유전자 염기서열은 Pseudomonas su. AW-2의 C2,3O와 일치하였으며 Comamonas sp. Js765의 C2,3O와 $97\%$의 높은 상동성을 나타내었다.

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).

Sarcodon aspratus(Berk.) S. Ito에서 분리정제한 단백질가수분해효소의 특성을 조사하였다. 이 효소는 당을 2.1% 함유하고 있었다. Rose bengal, N-bromo succinimide, phenyl methyl sulfonyl fluoride(PMSF)와 같은 화학적 수식 시약에 효소 활성이 저해되었으며, 1차 반응속도론적 불활성 mode를 가지므로 활성 부위는 tryptophan과 serine으로 추정된다. N-말단에서 21번째 잔기까지의 아미노산 배열은 V-T-T-K-Q-T-N-A-P-W-G-L-G-N-I-S-T-T-N-K-L-으로 동정되었다.

Two peptides, MA-inv AND MA-ME, with the sequence 10-17 of maganin 2 at their-N-termini were designed and synthesized. The peptides had higher antifungal activities against Aspergilus fumigatus without hemolytic activities. The minimal inhibition concentratory (MIC) values of both peptides against A. fumigatus were 5 .mu.g/ml, whereas those of the native peptides, magainin 2 and melittin, were 10.mu.g/ml. At 3 .mu.g/ml, MA-inv and MA-ME inhibited the mycelium growth of A. fumigatus by 94.6% and 97.3% respectively, whereas magainin 2 and melittin inhibited by 62.2% and 32.4, respectively. MA-inv showed up to 80% inhibition of (1, 3)-.betha.-D-glucan synthase activity of A. fumigatus. The peptides also showed up to 80% inhibition of (1, 3)-.betha.-D glucan synthase activity of A. fumigatus. The peptides also showed antifungal activities for other fungi of Aspergillus sp. However, the antibiotic activities of MA-ME against Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Fusarium oxysporum were more effective than those of MA-inv, suggesting that the C-terminal sequences of MA-inv and MA-ME may also influence their antibiotic activities. These results suggest that the N-terminal sequence of the designed peptides, KKFGKAFV, is important for their antifungal activities against A. fumigatus and their C- terminal sequences are related to the organism selectivity.

HslUV is a bacterial heat shock protein complex consisting of the AAA+ ATPase component HslU and the protease component HslV. HslV is a threonine (Thr) protease employing the N-terminal Thr residue in the mature protein as the catalytic residue. To date, HslUV from Gram-negative bacteria has been extensively studied. However, the mechanisms of action and activation of HslUV from Gram-positive bacteria, which have an additional N-terminal sequence before the catalytic Thr residue, remain to be revealed. In this study, we determined the crystal structures of HslV from the Gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus with and without HslU in the crystallization conditions. The structural comparison suggested that a structural transition to the symmetric form of HslV was triggered by ATP-bound HslU. More importantly, the additional N-terminal sequence was cleaved in the presence of HslU and ATP, exposing the Thr9 residue at the N-terminus and activating the ATP-dependent protease activity. Further biochemical studies demonstrated that the exposed N-terminal Thr residue is critical for catalysis with binding to the symmetric HslU hexamer. Since eukaryotic proteasomes have a similar additional N-terminal sequence, our results will improve our understanding of the common molecular mechanisms for the activation of proteasomes.

The ${\beta}$-lactamase inhibitory protein (BLIP) produced by Streptomyces exfoliatus SMF19 was purified(33 kDa) and the N-terminal amino acid sequence was determined as NH2-ATSVVAWGGNND. Genomic DNA library of S. exfoliatus SMF19 was constructed in pWE15 and recombinants harbouring the corresponding gene were selected by colony hybridization to the mixture of 36-mer oligonucleotide designed from the N-terminal amino acid sequence. The corresponding gene (bliX) was isolated on a 4-kb ApaI fragment of S. exfoliatus SMF19 chromosomal DNA and then sequenced. The bliX consisting of 1, 119bp encoded a mature protein with a deduced amino acid sequence of 342 residues and also encoded a 40-amino-acid signal sequence. No significant sequence similarity to bliX was found by pairwise comparison using various protein and nucleotide sequences.
