We attempted simultaneous expression of genes coding for endoglucanase and $\beta $-glucosidase from Pseudomonas sp. by using a synthetic two-cistron svstem in Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Two-cistron system, 5'--tac promoter-endoglucanase gene--$\beta $-glucosidase gene-- 3', 5'-tac promoter--$\beta $-glucosidase gene--endoglucanase gene--3' and 5'-tac promoter--endoglucanase gene--SD sequence--$\beta $-glucosidase gene--3, were constructed, and expressed in E. coli and S. cerevisiae. The E. coli and S. cerevisiae contained two-cistron system produced simultaneously endoglucanase and $\beta $-glucosidase. The recombinant genes contained the bacterial signal peptide sequence produced low level of endoglucanase and $\beta $-glucosidase in S. cerevisiae transformants: Approximately above 44% of two enzymes was localized in the intracellular fraction. The production of endoglucanase and $\beta $-glucosidase in veast was not repressed in the presence of glucose or cellobiose. The veast strain contained recombinant DNA with two genes hydrolyzed carboxvmethyl cellulose, and these endoglucanase and $\beta $-glucosidase degraded CMC synergistically to glucose, cellobiose and oligosaccharide. This result suggests the possibility of the direct bioconversion of cellulose to ethanol by the recombinant yeast.

A secretion signal sequence-selection vector (pGS40) was constructed based on an $\alpha$-amylase gene lacking a secretion signal and employed for selecting secretion signals from Lactococcus lactis ssp. cremoris LM0230 chromosomal DNA. Six fragments were identified based on their ability to restore $\alpha$-amylase secretion in E. coli, and among these, a fragment, S405, conferred the highest secretion activity (84%) in E. coli. Meanwhile, S407, which conferred poor secretion activity in E. coli, was quite active in L. lactis. The results suggested that the efficiency of a secretion signal depended on the host. All six fragments had an open reading frame (ORF) fused to the reporter gene, and the potential Shine-Dalgamo (SD) sequence and putative promoter sequences were located upstream of the ORF. Deduced amino acid sequences from the six fragments did not show any homology with known secretion signals. However, they contained three distinguished structural features and cleavage sites, commonly found among typical secretion signals. The characterized secretion signals could be useful for the construction of food-grade secretion vectors and gene expression in LAB.

A gene coding for phosphoketolase, a key enzyme of carbohydrate catabolism in heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria(LAB), was cloned from a Lactobacillus paraplantarum C7 and expressed in Escherichia coli. The gene is 2,502 bp long and codes for a 788-amino-acids polypeptide with a molecular mass of 88.7 kDa. A Shine-Dalgarno sequence(aaggag) and an inverted-repeat terminator sequence are located upstream and downstream of the phosphoketolase gene, respectively. The gene exhibits an identity of >52% with phosphoketolases of other LAB. The phosphoketolase of Lb. paraplantarum C7(LBPK) contains several highly conserved phosphoketolase signature regions and typical thiamine pyrophosphate(TPP) binding sites, as reported for other TPP-dependent enzymes. The phosphoketolase gene was fused to a glutathione S-transferase(GST::LBPK) gene for purification. The GST::LBPK fusion protein was detected in the soluble fraction of a recombinant Escherichia coli BL21. The GST::LBPK fusion protein was purified with a yield of 4.32mg/400ml by GSTrap HP affinity column chromatography and analyzed by N-terminal sequencing. LBPK was obtained by factor Xa treatment of fusion protein and the final yield was 3.78mg/400ml. LBPK was examined for its N-terminal sequence and phosphoketolase activity. The $K_M\;and\;V_{max}$ values for fructose-6-phosphate were $5.08{\pm}0.057mM(mean{\pm}SD)$ and $499.21{\pm}4.33{\mu}mol/min/mg$, respectively, and the optimum temperature and pH for the production of acetyl phosphate were $45^{\circ}C$ and 7.0, respectively.

Erro-prone PCR에 의해서 열안정성이 향상된 Streptomyces coelicolor A(3) 유래의 L-threonine aldolase를 Corynebacterium glutamicum R에서 과잉발현시키기 위하여 Corynebacterium용 vector plasmid인 pCRB1의 SD배열과 개시코든사이의 1염기를 제거한 고발현용 vector plasmid인 pCG-H44(2)를 구축하였다. pCG-H (2)에 의해서 형질전환된 C. glutamicum R 균주(CGH44-2)에서 L-TA를 발현시킨 결과, 기존의 Corynebacterium용 vector plasmid인 pCRB1(CGH44-1)보다 L-TA의 발현량이 높았다. L-threo-DOPS의 합성을 위한 최적조건은 $30^{\circ}C$, 0.1 M cirtric acid buffer(pH 7.0)이었으며, 0.1% TritonX-100를 첨가하였을 경우 보다 높은 활성을 보였다. 최적조건하에서 CGH44-2를 whole cell biocatalyst로 이용한 반복회분식반응에서 재조합대장균을 숙주로 이용한 경우보다 재조합Corynebacterium을 이용하였을 경우, 목적하는 L-threo-DOPS의 합성이 안정적으로 이루어졌다.

Paenibacillus woosongensis의 xylanase 유전자를 클로닝하고 그 염기서열을 결정하였다. Xylanase 유전자는 xyn10A로 명명되었으며, 481 아미노잔기로 구성된 단백질을 코드하는 1,446개 뉴클레오티드로 구성되었다. 추론된 아미노산 배열에 따르면 Xyn10A는 glycosyl hydrolase family 10 xylanase와 상동성이 높은 활성영역과 카르복실 말단에 탄수화물을 결합하는 것으로 추정되는 영역이 포함된 다영역 효소로 확인되었다. DEAE-Sepharose와 Phenyl-Separose 컬럼 크로마토그래피 과정을 통해 P. woosongensis xyn10A 유전자를 함유한 재조합 대장균의 균체 파쇄상등액으로부터 Xyn10A를 정제하였다. 정제된 Xyn10A의 아미노 말단 배열이 GIANGSKF로 결정되었으며 이는 SignalP5.0 server로 예측된 signal peptide의 다음 아미노산 배열과 정확하게 일치하였다. 정제된 Xyn10A는 33 kDa 크기의 절단된 단백질이며 균체내 분해에 의해 카르복시 말단에서 CBM이 제거된 것으로 판단된다. 정제된 효소는 최적 pH와 온도가 6.0과 55-60℃이며 oat spelt xylan에 대한 반응 동력학적 계수 V_max와 K_m이 298.8 U/mg과 2.47 mg/ml로 각각 나타났다. 효소는 birchwood xylan이나 oat spelt xylan보다 arabinoxylan에 대한 활성이 높았으며 para-nitrophenyl-β-xylopyranoside에 대해 낮은 활성을 보였다. Xyn10A의 활성은 Cu²⁺, Mn²⁺과 SDS에 의해서 크게 저해되었으며 K⁺, Ni²⁺과 Ca²⁺에 의해는 상당하게 증진되었다. 또한 이 효소는 xylobiose 보다 중합도가 큰 자일로올리고당을 분해하였으며, 자일로올리고당의 최종 가수분해 산물은 xylose와 xylobiose로 확인되었다.

China has a long history of sheep (Ovis aries [O. aries]) breeding and an abundance of sheep genetic resources. Knowledge of the complete O. aries mitogenome should facilitate the study of the evolutionary history of the species. Therefore, the complete mitogenome of O. aries was sequenced and annotated. In order to characterize the mitogenomes of 3 Chinese sheep breeds (Altay sheep [AL], Shandong large-tailed sheep [SD], and small-tailed Hulun Buir sheep [sHL]), 19 sets of primers were employed to amplify contiguous, overlapping segments of the complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence of each breed. The sizes of the complete mitochondrial genomes of the sHL, AL, and SD breeds were 16,617 bp, 16,613 bp, and 16,613 bp, respectively. The mitochondrial genomes were deposited in the GenBank database with accession numbers KP702285 (AL sheep), KP981378 (SD sheep), and KP981380 (sHL sheep) respectively. The organization of the 3 analyzed sheep mitochondrial genomes was similar, with each consisting of 22 tRNA genes, 2 rRNA genes (12S rRNA and 16S rRNA), 13 protein-coding genes, and 1 control region (D-loop). The NADH dehydrogenase subunit 6 (ND6) and 8 tRNA genes were encoded on the light strand, whereas the rest of the mitochondrial genes were encoded on the heavy strand. The nucleotide skewness of the coding strands of the 3 analyzed mitogenomes was biased toward A and T. We constructed a phylogenetic tree using the complete mitogenomes of each type of sheep to allow us to understand the genetic relationships between Chinese breeds of O. aries and those developed and utilized in other countries. Our findings provide important information regarding the O. aries mitogenome and the evolutionary history of O. aries inside and outside China. In addition, our results provide a foundation for further exploration of the taxonomic status of O. aries.

본 논문은 multi-level signaling을 이용한 high speed serial link transmitter에 관하여 제안하였다. High speed serial link에서 수 Gb/s를 달성하기 위해 4-pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) 을 사용하였다. 4-PAM은 4개의 level로 한 symbol time에 2 bit data를 전송함으로써 binary signaling보다 2배 빠른 data 전송이 가능해졌다. 제안된 4-PAM transmitter는 전압 output 대신 전류 output을 생성하며 이로 인해 driver의 switching time이 빨라져서 더 높은 속도의 transmitter를 구현할 수 있었다. $2^5-1$ pseudo-random bit sequence (PRBS) 생성기는 built-in self test (BIST)를 하기 위해 on-chip으로 설계되었다. 본 연구는 동부 하이텍 $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정을 통하여 설계되었으며 1.8 V supply voltage에서 eye 크기가 160 mV 이고 최대 동작 속도는 8 Gb/s이다. 칩 전체 면적은 $0.7\times0.6mm^2$이며 전력 소모는 98 mW이다.

Milk lysozyme is the ubiquitous enzyme in milk of mammals. In this study, the cDNA sequence of a new chicken-type (c-type) milk lysozyme gene (YML), was cloned from yak mammary gland tissue. A 444 bp open reading frames, which encodes 148 amino acids (16.54 kDa) with a signal peptide of 18 amino acids, was sequenced. Further analysis indicated that the nucleic acid and amino acid sequences identities between yak and cow milk lysozyme were 89.04% and 80.41%, respectively. Recombinant yak milk lysozyme (rYML) was produced by Escherichia coli BL21 and Pichia pastoris X33. The highest lysozyme activity was detected for heterologous protein rYML5 (M = 1,864.24 U/mg, SD = 25.75) which was expressed in P. pastoris with expression vector $pPICZ{\alpha}A$ and it clearly inhibited growth of Staphylococcus aureus. Result of the YML gene expression using quantitative polymerase chain reaction showed that the YML gene was up-regulated to maximum at 30 day postpartum, that is, comparatively high YML can be found in initial milk production. The phylogenetic tree indicated that the amino acid sequence was similar to cow kidney lysozyme, which implied that the YML may have diverged from a different ancestor gene such as cow mammary glands. In our study, we suggest that YML be a new c-type lysozyme expressed in yak mammary glands that plays a role as host immunity.
