내열성 alkaline phosphatase의 탐색을 위해 극도호열균중에서 Thermus caldophilus GK24 균주를 선정하였다. 이 균주를 이용하여 basal salts에 sodium glutamate, bactotryptone, glucose 및 yeast extract를 첨가시킨 배지에서 alkaline phosphatase 생산을 검토하였다. 그 결과 sodium glutamate가 alkaline phosphatase 유도에 효과적인 것으로 판명되었다. Alkaline phosphatase 생산을 위한 최적유도용 배지는 basal salts에 0.3% sodium glutamate, 0.2% bactotryptone, 0.5% glucose를 첨가한 것으로 효소활성은 기본배지보다 약 6배, 표준배지 보다는 약 27.5배 증가하였다. T. caldophilus GK24 alkaline phosphatase는 유도효소로 판명되었다. 무기인산 결핍시에 효소가 생산되며, 생육배지에 무기인산을 첨가하면 효소합성에 저해효과가 있었다.

Recombinant $\beta$-glucosidase from Thermus caldophilus GK24 was easily purified partially by a heat treatment procedure, resulting in 8-fold and recovery yield of 80% from crude enzyme. When the $\beta$-glucosidase was incubated with a 80% glucose solution (w/w), gentiobiose ($\beta$1,6-glucobiose) was the major product in the reaction mixture. The optimal conditions for producing gentiobiose (11% yields of total sugar) were pH 8-9 and 7$0^{\circ}C$ for 72 h.

High-level expression of Thermus caldophilus GK24 alkaline phosphatase (Tca APase) was achieved in Escherichia coli using the pET-based expression plasmids, pEAP1 and pEAP2. In the case of plasmid pEAP2, the signal peptide region of Tca APase was replaced by the PelB leader peptide of expression vector pET-22b(+). Furthermore, the expression level was somewhat higher than that of plasmid pEAPl. A rapid purification procedure of Tca APase overproduced in E. coli was developed which involved heating to denature E. coli proteins followed by HiTrap Heparin HP column chromatography. Optimal temperature and pH and $Mg^{2+}$ dependence of the recombinant Tca APase were similar to those of native enzyme isolated from T. caldophilus GK24.

Thermus caldophilus GK24 was selected as sources of thermostable $\beta$-galactosidase from a survey of genus Thermus. T. caldophilus GK24 (Tca) $\beta$-galactosidase was found to be inducible. The enzyme was optimally active at 75$\circ$C. Enzyme induction was achieved by addition of lactose, galactose and cellobiose to basal media. The addition of glucose to culture media had a repressive effect on further enzyme synthesis. T caldophilus GK24 was tested for production of $\beta$-galactosidase by addition of various concentration of lactose, galactose and cellobiose to standard media. Cellobiose was found to be effective for the $\beta$-galactosidase induction. The optimal induction medium for production of $\beta$-galactosidase was composed of 0.2% cellobiose, 0.3% bactotryptone, 0.3% yeast extract, basal salts and Tris/HCI(pH 7.8). The activity of the enzyme in the optimal induction medium increased nearly 16.5-fold compared to the standard medium. Tca $\beta$-galactosidase was detected when cell extracts was subjected to electrophoresis in a nondenaturing polyacryamide gel and stained for activity with 6-bromo-2-naphtyl-$\beta$-D-galactopyranoside(BNG).

A gene (GenBank AF096282) coding for a $\alpha$-glucosidase (TcaAG, EC 3.2.1.20) from Thermus caldophilus GK24 was expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a generally recognized as safe (GRAS) host. The thermostable $\alpha$-glucosidase was produced inside of the GRAS host at 0.04 unit/mg-dry cell by the constitutively expressing ADH1 promoter and at 1.2 unit/mg-dry cell by the inductively expressing GALl0 promoter, respectively. No $\alpha$-glucosidase activities were found in the medium when the MF-alpha signal sequence from S. cerevisiae or $\alpha$-amylase signal sequence from Aspergillus oryzae were fused before the $\alpha$-glucosidase gene for the secretion.

The thermophilic and thermostable alkaline phosphatase was purified to near homogeneity from the osmotic lysis of Thermus caldophilus GK24, The purified enzyme had an apparent molecular mass of 108, 000 Da and consisted of two subunits of 54,000 Da. lsoelectric-focusing analysis of the purified enzyme showed a pi of 7.3. The enzyme contained two Cys residues, and its amino acids composition was quite different from that of Thermus aquaticus YT-1 alkaline phosphatase and Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase, The optimum pH and temperature of the enzyme were 11.0-11.5 and $80^{\circ}C$ respectively. The enzyme was stable in the pH range of 9.0-12.0 at $25^{\circ}C$ for 36 h. and the half-life at $80^{\circ}C$ (pH 11.0) was 6 h. The enzyme was activated by $MgCl_2$ and inhibited by EDTA. With ${\rho}-nitrophenyl\;phosphate\;({\rho}NPP)$ as the substrate, the enzyme had a Michaelis constant $(K_m) $of $3.6{\times}10^{-5}M$, The enzyme preferentially hydrolyzed the phosphomonoester bond of AMP in ribonucleotides and glycerophosphate.

내열성 Thermus caldopilus로부터 정제된 내열성의 adenylate kinase는 nucleoside monophosphate에 대해 nucleotide triphosphate보다 높은 기질 특이성을 보여 주었다. $P',P^5$-di(adenosine-5')pentaphosphate는 여러 기질에 있어 Thermus의 adenylate kinase에 대해 경쟁적 저해제로서 작용하였다. $Mg^{2+}$ 이외 여러 가지 2가 양이온은 $Ca^{2+}, Mg^{2+}, Ba^{2+}, Fe^{2+}$ 순위로 효소활성에 필요하였으며, 효소활성은 p-chloromucuribenzoic acid와 같은 sulfurhydryl 시약에 저해되지 않았으며, 식염이나 phosphenolpyruvate을 반응액 첨가하였을 때 활성화되었다.

The gene encoding Thermus caldophilus GK24 polyphosphate kinase (Tca PPK) was cloned and sequenced. The gene contains an open reading frame encoding 608 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 69,850 Da. The deduced amino acid sequence of Tca PPK showed a 40% homology to Escherichia coli PPK, and $39\%$ to Klebsiella aerogenes PPK. The Tca ppk gene was expressed under the control of the T7lac promoter on pET-22b(+) in E. coli and its enzyme was purified about 70-fold with $36\%$ yield, following heating and HiTrap chelating HP column chromatography. The native enzyme was found to have an approximate molecular mass of 580,000 Da and consisted of eight subunits. The optimum pH and temperature of the enzyme were 5.5 and $70^{\circ}C$, respectively. A divalent cation was required for the enzyme activity, with $Mg^2+$ being the most effective.
