A strain producing a potent protease was isolated from turban shell. The strain was identified as Bacillus sp. S17110 based on phylogenetic analysis. The enzyme was purified from culture supernatant of Bacillus sp. S17110 to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation, SP-Sepharose, and DEAE-Sepharose anion exchange chromatography. Protease activity of the purified protein against casein was found to be stable at pH 7 to pH 10 and around $50^{\circ}C$. Approximately 70% of proteolytic activity of the enzyme was detected either in the presence of 100 mM SDS or Tween 20. The enzyme activity was enhanced in the presence of $Ca^{2+},\;Zn^{2+},\;Mg^{2+}$, but was inhibited by EDTA, indicating that it requires metal for its activity. The purified enzyme was found to be a monomeric protein with a molecular mass of 75 kDa, as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and gel filtration chromatography. The purified enzyme was analyzed through peptide fingerprint mass spectra generated from matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and a BLAST search, and identified as immune inhibitor A (inhA) deduced from nucleotide sequence of B. cereus G9241. Since InhA was identified as protease that cleave antibacterial proteins found in insect, inhA-like protease purified from Bacillus sp. S17110 might be pathogenic to sea invertebrates.

토양으로부터 분리된 약 1,200여주의 방선균으로부터 세포외로 phytase를 분비 생산하는 방선균 YB-26이 분리되었다. 분리균의 16S rRNA 염기서열을 조사한 결과 Streptomyces속에 속하는 균주의 서열과 상동성이 높았다. G.S.M 배지에서 분리균을 배양하여 얻은 배양 상등액을 ammonium sulfate 분획(15-70%), DEAE-Sepharose column 및 Q-Sepharose column 크로마토그래피를 하여 phytase를 부분 정제하였다. 부분정제된 phytase를 사용하여 효소반응을 실시한 결과 $60^{\circ}C$와 pH 7.0에서 최대활성을 보였으며, pH 6.0-8.0 범위에서 최대활성의 90%이상이 되는 활성을 나타냈다. 이 효소는 열안정성이 높지 않으며, $CaCl_2$의 존재하에서도 열안정성이 변화가 없는 것으로 확인되었다.

Pseudomonas sp. BK7, an alkalophile, displayed the highest growth and protease activity when grown in a fermenter which was controlled at a pH level of 9.0, and the enzyme production was significantly enganced by the increase of agitation speed. Two formas of alkaline proteases (BK7-1 and BK7-2) were fractionated and purified to near homogeneity. Protease BK7-1 was purified through CM-Sepharose CL-6B and Sephadex G-75 column chromatographies, and Protease BK7-2 was purified through CM-Sepharose CL-6B and Sephadex G-75 column chromatographies, and Protease BK7-2 was purified through CM-Sepharose CL-6B, DEAE-Sepharose, and Sephadex G-75 column chromatographies. The molecular weights of proteases BK7-1 and BK7-2 determined by gel filtration chromatography were 20,700 and 40,800, respectively. The $K_m$ value, isoelectric point, and optimum pH of protease BK7-1 were 2.55 mg/ml, 11.0 and 11.0, respectively, whereas those of protease BK7-2 were 1.57 mg/ml, 7.2, and 10.0, respectively. Both protease were practically stable in the pH range of 5-11. The optimum temperatures for the activities of both protease BK7-1 and BK7-2 were 50℃ and 45℃, respectively. About 56% of the original protease BK7-2 activity remained after being treated at 50℃ for 30 min but protease BK7-1 was rapidly inactivated at above 25℃. Both proteases were completely inhibited by phenylmethane sulfonyl fluoride, a serine protease inhibitor. Protease BK7-2 was stable against EDTA, EGTA, STP, and detergents such as SDS and LAS, whereas protease BK7-1 was found to be unstable.

HTLV-I 의 gag-pro 유전자 중첩영역내에서 -1 ribosomal frameshifting 이 일어나는 자리를 결정하기 위하여 gag-pro 중첩영역의 일부를 SP6 promoter 를 가진 백터내에 클로닝하였다. 그 결과 닭의 prelysozyme 에서 유래한 5개의 아미노산을 코드하는 합성유전자와 141 bp 로된 gag-pro 중첩영역의 뒤에 Straphylococcus aureus 의 protein A 유전자단편이 연결된 hybrid 유전자를 보유한 플라스미드를 제작하였다. 이 DNA 클론을 주형으로 SP6 RNA polymerase 의 작용에 의해 한종류의 mRNA 를 다량으로 합성하였다. Invitro 에서 합성된 mRNA 로 무세포계에서 단백질을 합성한 결과 21 kDal 의 단백질이 생성되었고 IgG-Sepharose 를 사용한 affinity chromatography 로 합성된 단백질을 순수하게 정제할 수 있었다. 본연구에서 설명한 in vitro 실험계는 Gag-Pro transframe 단백질의 신속한 정제 및 일차구조의 결정에 유익하게 사용될 것으로 보이며 이와 같은 실험의 결과 mRNA 에서 ribosomal frameshifting 이 일어나는 정확한 site 를 결정할 수 있을 뿐 같은 실험의 결과 mRNA 에서 ribosomal frameshifting 이 일어나는 정확한 site 를 결정할 수 있을 뿐 아니가 pro 유전자의 발현에 필요한 frameshift 를 유도하는 tRNA 의 동정도 가능하게 될 것이다.

전 연구에서 해양세균 Streptomyces sp. M3의 새로운 alginate 분해효소를 signal peptide가 제거된 상태로 클로닝하고 E. coli BL21 (DE3) 균에 형질전환시켰다. 본 연구에서는 배양할 때 IPTG를 첨가하여 M3 alginate 분해효소 단백질을 과발현시키고 Ni-Sepharose 친화력 chromatography로 정제하여 생화학적 성질을 조사하였다. 기질특이성을 시험하기 위한 235 nm에서의 흡광도와 TLC 분석 결과로부터 M3 alginate 분해효소가 polyG block에 기질특이성을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. M3 분해효소를 기질과 10분 동안 반응시켰을 때, 최적 pH 및 최적온도는 pH 9 및 $60^{\circ}C$이었다. 1 mM $Ca^{++}$ 및 $Mn^{++}$은 alginate 분해활성을 2배 증가시킨 반면 $Hg^{++}$ 및 $Zn^{++}$는 분해활성을 완전히 저해하였다. $Mg^{++}$, $Co^{++}$, $Na^+$, $K^+$, 및 $Ba^{++}$은 M3 alginate 분해효소의 활성에 거의 영향을 미치지 않았다.

탄소원으로 Avicel이 첨가된 배지에서 공주에 소재한 밤 나무 농장의 토양 미생물을 증균 배양하여 mannanase를 생산하는 미생물을 분리하였다. 분리균 YB-43의 16S rDNA 서열은 Cellulosimicrobium 속 균주와 유사도가 99.6% 이상으로 가장 높게 나타났다. Locust bean gum (LBG)이나 konjac이 첨가된 배지에서 분리균의 mannanase 생산성이 크게 증가하였다. 0.7% LBG가 첨가된 LB 배지에서 Cellulosimicrobium sp. YB-43이 균체외로 생산한 mannanase를 DEAE-Sepharose와 Q-Sepharose 컬럼 크로마토그래피로 부분 정제하여 mannanase A (ManA)와 mannanase C (ManC)로 분획하였다. ManA는 $55^{\circ}C$와 pH 6.5, ManC는 $65^{\circ}C$ pH 7.5에서 최대활성을 보였으며, ManA는 $40^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 1시간 동안 실활되지 않았으나 ManC는 $20^{\circ}C$에서도 상당량 실활되었다. 또한 ManA와 ManC는 기질특이성과 mannooligosaccharides의 최종 분해산물에도 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이로 보아 Cellulosimicrobium sp. YB-43은 특성이 서로 다른 2종류 mannanases를 생산하는 것으로 판단된다.

To develop biodegradable and safe flocculant, Achromobacter sp. HY-66 were isolated from soil. The purified flocculant was composed of fructose and glucose in an approximate molar ratio of 1:24. Molecular weight was approximately 9$\times$105 dalton by Sepharose CL-4B gel filtration chromatography. Elemental analysis revealed that the contents of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen were 37.72%, 5.37% and 56.89%, respectively. The presence of O-H stretching, C-H streching, carboxy ester and C-H bending were confirmed by IR absorption spectrum analysis. We suggest that a bioflocculant produced from Achromobacter sp. YJ-66 is new and different from other bioflocculants.

High levels of xylanase activity (143.98 IU/ml) produced by the newly isolated Paenibacillus campinasensis G1-1 were detected when it was cultivated in a synthetic medium. A thermostable xylanase, designated XynG1-1, from P. campinasensis G1-1 was purified to homogeneity by Octyl-Sepharose hydrophobic-interaction chromatography, Sephadex G75 gel-filter chromatography, and Q-Sepharose ion-exchange chromatography, consecutively. By multistep purification, the specific activity of XynG1-1 was up to 1,865.5 IU/mg with a 9.1-fold purification. The molecular mass of purified XynG1-1 was about 41.3 kDa as estimated by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Sequence analysis revealed that XynG1-1 containing 377 amino acids encoded by 1,134 bp genomic sequences of P. campinasensis G1-1 shared 96% homology with XylX from Paenibacillus campinasensis BL11 and 77%~78% homology with xylanases from Bacillus sp. YA-335 and Bacillus sp. 41M-1, respectively. The activity of XynG1-1 was stimulated by $Ca^{2+}$, $Ba^{2+}$, DTT, and ${\beta}$-mercaptoethanol, but was inhibited by $Ni^{2+}$, $Fe^{2+}$, $Fe^{3+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, SDS, and EDTA. The purified XynG1-1 displayed a greater affinity for birchwood xylan, with an optimal temperature of $60^{\circ}C$ and an optimal pH of 7.5. The fact that XynG1-1 is cellulose-free, thermostable (stability at high temperature of $70^{\circ}C{\sim}80^{\circ}C$), and active over a wide pH range (pH 5.0~9.0) suggests that the enzyme is potentially valuable for various industrial applications, especially for pulp bleaching pretreatment.

Inulin fructotransferase (depolymerizing) (EC 2.4.1.93) was purified 34-fold from the culture broth of Arthrobacter sp. A-6 by using a combination of ammonium sulfate fractionation, DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B chromatography and Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration. The purified enzyme converts inulin into di-D-fructofuranose dianhydride III(DFA III) and small quantities of fructo-oligosaccharides. The temperature and pH optima of the enzyme were $70^{\circ}C$ and 6.0, respectively. Molecular weight of the enzyme was determined to be 49 kDa by 12$%$ SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and 145 kDa by Sephacryl S-200gel filtration. This indicates that the functional inulin fructotransferase of Arthrobacter sp. A-6 has a homomeric trimer structure. The enzyme had an isoelectric point of pH 4.6. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the purified enzyme subunit was Ala-Asp-Asn-Pro-Asp-Gly(\ulcorner)-Ser-Asn-Met(or Glu)-Tyr-Asp-Val.
