For the overproduction of pectate lyase (PL), the recombinant plasmid pl2BS fl which has strong promoter from alkali-tolerent Bacillus sp. YA-14 was used. In order to overexpress the pectate lyase by the action of overlapping strong promoter in pl2BS$\Delta$fl, 1.6 kb of PL gene was inserted into pl2BS$\Delta$fl to form pl2BS$\delta$f1-PL and the enzyme was expressed. But decreased expression efficiency of the PL gene was observed and it was due to the presence of the transcription terminator region on the upstream of the PL gene. The transcription terminator of the PL gene in pl2BS$\delta$f1-PL was removed and the resulting plasmid p12BS$\Delta$fl$\Delta$PL was formed. Bacillus subtilis 207-25 harboring the recombinant plasmid, p12BS$\Delta$fl$\Delta$PL, revealed increased expression efficiency with chloramphenicol induction when cat-86 was used as a reporter gene.

BACKGROUND: Tomato genome editing using CRISPR-Cas9 is being actively conducted in recent days, and lots of plant researches have been aiming to develop high valued crops by editing target genes without inserting foreign genes. Many researchers have been involved in the manipulation of the crop ripening process because fruit ripening is an important fruit phenotype for increasing fruit shelf life, taste, and texture of crops. This paper intends to evaluate target sgRNA to edit the two ripening-related genes encoding pectate lyase (PL) and phytoene synthase (Psy) with the CRISPR-Cas9 system. METHODS AND RESULTS: The CRISPR-Cas9 expression vector was cloned to target the PL (Solyc03g111690), Psy1 (Solyc03g031860), and Psy2 (Solyc02g081330) genes, which are the ripening genes of tomatoes. Tomatoes injected with Agrobacterium containing the CRISPR-Cas9 expression vector were further cultured for 5 days and used to check gene editing efficiency. As a result of the target gene sequence analysis by the next generation sequencing method, gene editing efficiency was calculated, and the efficient target location was selected for the PL and Psy genes. CONCLUSION: Therefore, this study was aimed to establish target sgRNA data that could have higher efficiency of the CRISPR-Cas9 system to obtain the delayed ripening phenotype of tomato. The developed method and sgRNA information is expected to be utilized in the development of various crops to manage its ripening processes.

The phytopathogenic bacterium Pectobacterium chrysanthemi secretes multiple isozymes of plant cell wall disrupting enzyme such as pectate lyase and cellulase. The cel gene, existing in tandem with the pel gene, was isolated previously [10]. The role of Cel5Z and PelL1 in P. chrysanthemi PY35 pathogenicity on potato tissues was assessed by mutagenizing cloned cel gene and pel gene in tandem and recombining them with the chromosomal alleles. Strains with the Km cassette interposon in pelL1 or a double mutant showed a delay in the appearance of symptoms, suggesting that P. chrysanthemi PY35 pectate lyase PelL1 may playa minor role in soft-rot pathogenesis.

배추로부터 연부균을 분리하여 조사한 결과 Erwinia chrysanthemi(Ech)로 동정되었으며 분리균 Ech PY35는 CMCase, pectinase, pectate lyase, protease 활성은 있었으나 hemicellulase 활성은 없었다. 배추와 감자의 조직에서 $24{\sim}48$시간 이내에 연부증상을 일으키며, 배추 조직보다 감자 조직에서 연부증상의 발병 진행속도가 느린 편이었다. 전자현미경관찰 결과 병원균의 식물 조직 내의 침투가 확인되었으며 이들이 분비한 세포벽분해효소에 의한 식물조직의 연부현상도 관찰되었다. 분리균의 체내 및 체외효소를 분리하여 CMC-SDS-PAGE에 의한 CMCase 직접활성 염색법을 이용하여 5종류의 CMCase isozyme으로 추정되는 활성밴드를 관찰할 수 있었다. 체내분비효소로 48 kDa, 34 kDa, 31 kDa의 3종류, 체외분비효소는 50 kDa, 29 kDa 2종류로 확인되었다.

This experiment was conducted to examine the effects of a short-term treatment of high pressure $CO_2$ on shelf-life of strawberry fruit. A short-term treatment (12 hr) of 100% $CO_2$ resulted in the increase of fruit firmness up to 71.9% compared to that at harvest. The firmness of $CO_2$ treated fruit remained a significantly higher than that of control (air) up to 15 days. The alteration of pectic polymers was observed by $CO_2$ treatment such as an increase of EDTA soluble pectins and decrease of water soluble ones. The $CO_2$ treatment resulted in the increase of total amount of wall bound calcium. Pectate lyase activity, an important agent of strawberry fruit softening, was also significantly reduced by $CO_2$ treatment. Contents of soluble solids and acids of $CO_2$ treated fruit were higher than those of control fruit. Short-term treatment of high pressure $CO_2$ affected shelf-life through firmness increase whereas the visual quality and decay incidence of strawberry fruit were not affected.

본 연구는 플라스틱 가소제인 DEHP가 식물 병원균 중 하나인 P. carotovorum SCC1 균주에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. DEHP가 균주 생장과 대사에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과, 개체군 변화에 유의한 영향을 주지 않았으며, 세포막 투과성, ATPase 활성에 유의한 변화가 없었지만 TCA cycle 에서 DEHP 첨가에 따라 Succinyl-CoA synthase 활성이 유의적으로 감소하였다. 병원성 관련 유전자 발현량을 관찰한 결과 pectate lyase 유전자 발현량이 상대적으로 증가한 반면, pectinase 유전자는 상대적으로 발현량이 감소하였다. 따라서 DEHP는 P. carotovorum SCC1의 개체군 변화나 대사에는 유의미한 영향을 미치지 않지만 병원성 관련 유전자 발현에 영향을 미치므로 본 연구 결과는 향후 실제 식물 재배 조건에서 DEHP가 존재할 때 P. carotovorum의 특성에 관한 기초연구 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

Fibrobacter succinogenes, a Gram-negative, anaerobic ruminal bacterium is a major fibre digesting species in the rumen. It intensively degrades plant cell walls by an erosion type of mechanism, burrowing its way through the complex matrix of cellulose and hemicellulose with the release of digestible and undigested cell wall fragments. The enzymes involved in this process include a combination of glucanases, xylanases, arabinofuranosidase(s) and esterases. The genome of the bacterium has been sequenced and this has revealed in excess of 100 putative glycosyl hydrolase, pectate lyase and carbohydrate esterase genes, which is greater than the numbers reported present in other major cellulolytic organisms for which genomes have been sequenced. Modelling of the amino acid sequences of two glycanases, CedA and EGB, by reference to crystallized homologs has enabled prediction of the major features of their tertiary structures. Two dimensional gel electrophoresis in conjunction with mass spectroscopy has permitted the documentation of proteins over expressed in F. succinogenes grown on cellulose, and analysis of the cell surfaces of mutant strains unable to bind to cellulose has enabled the identification of candidate proteins with roles in adhesion to the plant cell wall substrate, the precursor to cellulose biodegradation.
