Strong promoter로 밝혀진 alginate lyase 유전자의 promoter 부위에 대한 특성을 검토하기 위해 alginate lyase 유전자의 46개 N-terminal amino acid가 포함된 promoter 부분과, 같은 균으로부터 분리한 $\beta$-agarase의 유전자를 연결시켜 agarase의 activity를 평판배지상에서 보다 쉽게 확인하는 방법으로 promoter의 활성을 측정한 결과 alginate lyase 유전자 promoter에 의해서 $\beta$-agarase 유전자의 대량발현이 유도되고 있었으며 glucose의 존재하에서 $\beta$-agarase 유전자 발현이 일어나지 않는 catabolite repression 양상을 나타내고 있다. PCR로써 alginate lyase의 46개 N-terminal amino acid 부분이 순차적으로 제거된 plasmid를 제조하여 대량발현을 조사한 결과 46개의 아미노산이 제거된 후에도 $\beta$-agarase의 활성에는 변화가 없어 46개의 N-말단이 정상적인 상태에서 발현에는 영향을 미치고 있지 않음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 alginate lyase 유전자의 promoter region에 존재하는 가능한 2개의 promoter consensus sequence PI, PII를 subcloning한 결과 promoter PII만이 존재할 때도 대량발현이 유도되고 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며 동시에 glucose가 존재할 때 catabolite repression이 역시 나타나고 있어 이 부분이 발현 및 glucose에 의한 regulation에 매우 중요하게 작용하는 부분이라는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

효소생산을 최적화하기 위해서 Paenibacillus sp. DG-22에서의 ${\beta}-xylosidase$ 생합성 조절을 연구하였다. Paenibacillus sp. DG-22의 ${\beta}-xylosidase$는 배양액에 존재하는 탄소원에 의해 조절되는 것으로 관찰되었다. ${\beta}-Xylosidase$의 합성은 xylan과 methyl ${\beta}-D-xylopyranoside$ (${\beta}MeXyl$)에 의해 유도되었으나 쉽게 대사되는 단당류에 의해서는 약간 억제되었다. ${\beta}MeXyl$가 ${\beta}-xylosidase$의 유도를 위한 최적의 기질임을 확인하였고 가장 효과적인 유도는 10 mg/ml의 농도에서 얻어졌다. ${\beta}-Xylosidase$의 생산은 세포의 생장과 연관된 양상을 나타내었으며, 대수기 말에 최대양이 형성되었다. Glucose와 xylose가 존재하면 ${\beta}-xylosidase$의 활성 수준이 감소하는 것으로 보아 이 효소의 생합성은 catabolite repression을 받는것으로 보인다. SDS-PAGE와 활성염색 기술을 이용하여 ${\beta}Mexyl$가 이 효소의 생합성을 유도하며 약 80 kDa 크기의 하나의 ${\beta}-xylosidase$가 존재함을 알 수 있었다.

After Candida albicans, Candida glabrata is one of the most common fungal species associated with candidemia in nosocomial infections. Rapid acquisition of nutrients from the host is important for the survival of pathogens which possess the metabolic flexibility to assimilate different carbon and nitrogen compounds. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, nitrogen assimilation is controlled through a mechanism known as Nitrogen Catabolite Repression (NCR). NCR is coordinated by the action of four GATA factors; two positive regulators, Gat1 and Gln3, and two negative regulators, Gzf3 and Dal80. A mechanism in C. glabrata similar to NCR in S. cerevisiae has not been broadly studied. We previously showed that in C. glabrata, Gln3, and not Gat1, has a major role in nitrogen assimilation as opposed to what has been observed in S. cerevisiae in which both factors regulate NCR-sensitive genes. Here, we expand the knowledge about the role of Gln3 from C. glabrata through the transcriptional analysis of BG14 and gln3Δ strains. Approximately, 53.5% of the detected genes were differentially expressed (DEG). From these DEG, amino acid metabolism and ABC transporters were two of the most enriched KEGG categories in our analysis (Up-DEG and Down-DEG, respectively). Furthermore, a positive role of Gln3 in AAA assimilation was described, as was its role in the transcriptional regulation of ARO8. Finally, an unexpected negative role of Gln3 in the gene regulation of ABC transporters CDR1 and CDR2 and its associated transcriptional regulator PDR1 was found. This observation was confirmed by a decreased susceptibility of the gln3Δ strain to fluconazole.

Syntheses of the B. stearothermophilus xylanolytic enzymes such as xylanases, ${\beta}$-xylosidases, ${\alpha}$-arabinofurano-sidases, and esterases, were observed to be regulated by the carbon source present in the culture media. Xylan induced synthesis of ${\beta}$-xylosidase at the highest level while xylose gave about 30% of the ${\beta}$-xylosidase activity induced by xylan. The lowest syntheses of the xylanolytic enzymes above mentioned were detected in the basal medium containing glucose as a sole carbon source. When a mixture of xylan and glucose was used as a carbon source, we could observe glucose repression of xylanase (about 70-fold) and ${\beta}$-xylosidase (about 40-fold) syntheses. Whereas, the level of the glucose repression of the expression of the xylA gene encoding the major ${\beta}$-xylosidase of B. stearothermophilus was assessed to be about l0-fold when the relative amounts of the xylA transcript were determined. From the sequence of the xylA gene, we could find two CRE-like sequences (CRE-l: nucleotides ＋124 to ＋136 and CRE-2:＋247 to ＋259) within the reading frame of the xylA gene, either or both of which were suspected to be involved in catabolite repression of the xylA gene.

3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) is an important molecule, which mediates diverse cellular processes. For example, it is involved in regulation of sugar uptake/catabolism, DNA replication, cell division, and motility in various acterial species. In addition, cAMP is one of the critical regulators for syntheses of virulence factors in many pathogenic bacteria. It is believed that cAMP acts as a signal for environmental changes as well as a regulatory factor for gene expressions. Therefore, intracellular concentration of cAMP is finely modulated by according to its rates of synthesis (by adenylate cyclase), excretion, and degradation (by cAMP phosphodiesterase). In the present review, we discuss the bacterial physiological characteristics governed by CAMP and the molecular mechanisms for gene regulation by cAMP. Furthermore, the effect of cAMP on phosphotransferase system is addressed.

Talaromyces luteus 6112 균주에 돌연변이원 N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine을 처리하여 고온성 돌연변이주인 T. luteus 2004를 선별하였다. T. luteus 2004 균주는 고온성 섬유소 분해 효소인 carboxymethylcellulase(CMCase)와 그 외의 다당류 분해효소인 avicellase, xylanase, ${\beta}-glucosidase$ 등을 생성하였다. 고온성 섬유소 분해효소의 생성은 3% carboxymethylcellulose(CMC) 최소배지에서 가장 높게 유도되었으므로 CMC가 CMCase 생성의 유도물질임을 알 수 있었다. 고온성 섬유소분해효소의 생성에 있어서 포도당과 D-cellobiose는 CMCase 생성에 catabolite repressor로 작용함을 보여 주었다. T. luteus 2004의 섬유소 분해효소의 효소학적 특성은 $70^{\circ}C$, pH 4에서 최고의 활성을 보여주는 고온성 효소이므로 대체에너지 개발에 활용 가능한 균주로 사료된다.

In B. subtilis, $\alpha$-amylase synthesis is regulated by amyR located directly on the upstream of amyE. Three different amyR alleles have been reported, amyR1, amyR2 and amyR3. Strains bearing the gra-10 mutation which confers derepression for catabolite repression has GlongrightarrowA transition mutation at ＋5 of amyR1. S1 nuclease mapping demonstrated that transcription initiated at 8 bases downstream from the -10 region of putative E$\sigma^{A}$ promoter P1 in amyR1 and gra-10. In amyR2, the major transcription initiatd at the same place and the minor, 10 bases downstream from -10 of P2. The transcript from P2 contributed approximately 15-20% of total amyE mRNA. S1 nuclease protection experiment indicated that amyE mRNA levels corresponded to the rate of synthesis assumed by specific activities of $\alpha$-amylase in culture supernatants, suggesting that $\alpha$-amylase synthesis is regulated at the level of transcription.n.

Cellulomonas sp. CS1-1 생성의 $\beta$-glucosidase는 cell-bound 효소이었으며, Avicelase와 Carboxymethyl-cellulase (CMCase)는 extracellular 효소로 존재함을 확인하였다. Cellobiose나 CMC 최소배지에서의 균의 생장은 cellobiose보다 glucose 첨가시에 현저히 증가하였다. Cellobiose나 CMC 최소배지에서의 $\beta$-glucosidase 생합성은 glucose 첨가로 현저히 억제되었으나, CMC 최소배지에 cellobiose를 첨가하였을 경우, glucose에 의한 억제 효과와는 반대로, 효소의 생성은 오히려 촉진되었다. 그 외의 탄소원에 관한 영향을 조사한 결과 CMC, 전분, maltose 등의 첨가도 glycerol, arabinose, xylose, trehalose의 첨가시 보다 효소의 생성이 증가되었다. 이상의 결과로 $\beta$-glucosidase 생합성은 glucose에 의하여 catabolite repression을 받았으며, cellobiose, CMC, starch등은 다른 당류보다 효소생성을 현저히 유도하였으므로, 이 효소는 inducible enzyme임을 알 수 있었다. 효소생성에 미치는 질소원을 조사한 결과는 yeast extract가 peptone이나 ammonium sulfate보다 효소생성을 증가시켰다. 효소의 특성을 조사한 결과, 50mM MgCl$_2$가 포함된 10mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0)에서 효소의 역가가 증가하였고, 최적 pH는 6.0이었고 최적온도는 42$^{\circ}C$ 이었다. p-nitrophenyl-$\beta$-D-glucoside의 농도에 대한 glucose의 Km값은 0.265mM 이었고 $\beta$-D(+)-glucose에 대한 Ki값은 9.0 mM 이었다.

A DNA fragment from an alkali-tolerent Bacillus sp., conferring strong promoter activity, was subcloned into the promoter probe plasmid pPL703 and the nucleotide sequence of this promoter region was determined. The sequence analysis suggested that this highly efficient promoter region containing the complex clustered promoters comprised three kinds of promoters (P1, P2 and P3), which are transcribed by $\sigma^B (formerly \sigma^{37}), \sigma^E(formerly \sigma^{29}) and \sigma^A (formerly \sigma^{43})$ RNA polymerase holoenzymes which play major rules at the onset of endospore formation, during sporulation and at the vegetative phase of growth, respectively. S1 nuclease mapping experiments showed that all three promoters had staggered transcription initiation points. The results of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase assay after the subcloning experiments also indicated that the expression of these clustered promoters was correlated with the programs of growth and endospore development. Promoter P1, P2 and P3 were preceded by 75% AT, 79% AT and 81% AT regions, respectively, and a partial deletion of AT-rich region prevented transcription from promoter P1 in vivo. Two sets of 5 -AGTGTT-3 sequences and inverted repeat sequences located around the promoter P1 were speculated as the possible cis acting sites for the catabolite repression in B. subtilis. In vivo transcripts from these sequence regions may be able to form a secondary structure, however, the possibility that a regulatory protein induced by the excess amount of glucose could be bound to such a domain for crucial action remains to be determined.
