A novel recombinant baculovirus vector system containing coding genes for polyhedron promoter, vesicular stomatitis virus G (VSVG), polyA, cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter, enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP), and protein transduction domain (PTD) was constructed. We applied this recombinant baculovirus vector into cells and murine tissues and compared efficacy of gene transfer and expression of this recombinant baculovirus vector system with control vector system. From this result, we confirmed that this novel recombinant baculovirus vector system was very effective than control vector system.

Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a pleiotropic hematopoietic growth factor and an activator of lmature myeloid cells and recombinant GM-CSF is increasingly under clinical studies for the treatment of various diseases including cancer, infectious diseases and hematopoietic diseases. We constructed a reconbinant mouse GM-CSF expression plasmid with pelB leader sequence and His. Tag under T7 promoter control, and showed that the construct produced a 20 kDa recombinant protein in 8M urea. We also showed that the 20 kDa recombinant protein prepared in 8M urea sitmulated colony formation in vitro, indicating that the recombinant mGM-CSF can be renatured to its native form to show the colony stimulating activity.

In order to develop procedures for the rapid isolation of recombinant sugar transporter in functional form from away from the endogenous insect cell transporter, gene fusion techniques were exploited. Briefly, BamH1-digested human HepG2 type glucose transport protein cDNA was first cloned into a transfer vector pBlueBacHis, containing a tract of six histidine residues. Recombinant baculoviruses including the human cDNA were then generated by allelic exchange following transfection of insect cells with wild-type BaculoGold virus DNA and the recombinant transfer vector. Plaque assay was then performed to obtain and purify recombinant viruses expressing the human transport protein. All the cell samples that had been infected with viruses from the several blue plaques exhibited a positive reaction in the immnuassay, demonstrating expression of the glucose transport protein. In contrast, no color development in the immunoassay was observed for cells infected with the wild-type virus or no virus. Immunoblot analysis showed that a major immunoreactive band of apparent Mr 43,000~44,000 was evident in the lysate from cells infected with the recombinant baculovirus. Following expression of the recombinant fusion protein with the metal-binding domain and enterokinase cleavage site, the fusion protein was recovered by competition with imidizole using immobilized metal charged resin. The leader peptide was then removed from the fusion protein by cleavage with porcine enterokinase. Final separation of the recombinant protein of the interest was achieved by passage over $Ni^{2+}$-charged resin under binding conditions. The expressed transport protein bound cytochalasin B and demonstrated a functional similarity to its human counterpart.

Post-translational modifications of the nucleocapsid protein of bovine coronavirus (Quebec strain) were investigated. Coronavirions were radiolabelled in vivo with inorganic $[^{32}P]$orthophosphate and analysed by SDS-PAGE, followed by autoradiography. A single polypeptide with a migration rate of 55 KDa was identified by metabolic phosphate labelling, demonstrating that the nucleocapsid protein of bovine coronavirus was a phosphoprotein. A gene encoding the nucleocapsid protein was inserted immediately downstream from the polyhedrin promoter of Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis baculovirus. Spodoptera frugiperda cells infected with this recombinant baculovirus synthesized a 55 KDa polypeptide, as demonstrated by immunoprecipitation with anti-nucleocapsid monoclonal antibody. The recombinant nucleocapsid protein synthesized in Spodoptera cells could also be labelled by $[^{32}P]$orthophosphate. Phosphoamino acid analysis showed that both serine and threonine residues were phosphorylated in authentic, as well as in recombinant nucleocapsid proteins, with a relative phosphorylation ratio of 7:3. Our studies demonstrated that the nucleocapsid protein of bovine coronavirus was a serine and threonine-phosphorylated protein and that Spodoptera insect cells were able to properly phosphorylate the relevant foreign proteins.

We have now constructed a novel recombinant baculovirus Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcNPV) producing polyhedra with Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) CryIAc crystal protein. The recombinant polyhedra produced by the recombinant baculovirus, Btrus, in insect cells was characterized. The recombinant baculovirus has two independent transcription units in opposite orientations with two promoters, p10 or polyhedrin gene promoter each initiating transcription of either native polyhedrin or fusion protein with polyhedrin and Bt Cry1Ac crystal protein. Surprisingly, this recombinant baculovirus stably produced recombinant polyhedra which were nearly similar to those of wild-type AcNPV. The immunogold staining experiment showed that the recombinant polyhedra were assembled with polyhedrin and Bt Cry1Ac crystal protein, and contained virus particles. Insecticidal toxicity of recombinant polyhedra of Btrus to the fall webworm, Hyphantria cunea, was strikingly improved in comparison with the wild-type AcNPV.

본 연구에서는 저온에서의 재조합 단백질 생산성 향상을 위하여 저온에서 RNA 샤페론 활성을 지닌다고 알려진 CspA 단백질의 발현이 서로 다른 온도에서 대장균의 성장 및 GFP의 발현 속도에 어떻게 영향을 미치는지를 살펴보았다. $20^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$, $37^{\circ}C$에서는 세포 성장 및 GFP의 생산이 CspA의 발현에 영향을 받지 않았으나, $15^{\circ}C$에서는 GFP의 총 생산성이 CspA의 동시 발현에 의해 향상되었으며 이는 세포 성장 속도의 향상에 기인함을 확인하였다. 결론적으로 CspA의 발현은 $15^{\circ}C$에서 세포 당 재조합 단백질 생산량의 증가에는 영향을 미치지 않으나, 즉 재조합 단백질의 번역 효율에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않으나, 대장균 성장 속도에 영향을 미치며, 이를 통해 재조합 단백질의 총 생산량 향상을 유도 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Seeds are an ideal repository for recombinant proteins in molecular farming applications. However, in order to use plant seeds efficiently for the production of such proteins, it is necessary to understand a number of fundamental biological properties of seeds. This includes a full understanding of promoters which function in a seed-specific manner, the subcellular targeting of the desired polypeptide and the final form in which a protein is stored. Once a biologically active protein has been deposited in a seed, it is also critical that the protein can be extracted and purified efficiently. In this review, these issues are examined critically to provide a number of approaches which may be adopted for production of recombinant proteins in plants. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between subcellular localization and protein extraction and purification. The robustness and flexibility of seed-based production is illustrated by examples close to or already in commercial production.

We investigated the induction of resistance to Haemaphysalis longicornis infestation in rabbits that had been immunized with recombinant H. longicornis P27/30 protein. The success of immunological control methods is dependent upon the use of potential key antigens as tick vaccine candidates. Previously, we cloned a gene encoding 27 kDa and 30 kDa proteins (P27/30) of H. longicornis, and identified P27/30 as a troponin I-like protein. In this study, rabbits that were immunized with recombinant P27/30 expressed in Escherichia coli showed the statistically significant longer feeding duration for larval and adult ticks (P<0.05), low engorgement rates in larval ticks (64.4%), and an apparent reduction in egg weights, which suggest that H. longicornis P27/30 protein is a potential candidate antigen for a tick vaccine. These results demonstrated that the recombinant P27/30 protein might be a useful vaccine candidate antigen for biological control of H. longicornis.

Proteomics is a formalized approach for obtaining a rapid snap-shot of the protein complement of a tissue, cell or cell component. Such an approach is powerful in that it allows a parallel assessment of temporal protein fluxes. This is an important concept in view of the dynamic nature of protein expression. Undoubtedly, changes in protein expression are essential in any study aimed at investigating cellular networks. In this study, we analyzed and compared the proteomes of recombinant E. coli strain before and after induction. Proteome expression patterns of recombinant E. coli were resolved on 2D-gels, and the variations in the relative expression level of particular proteins were examined using software-aided protein quantification tool. We observed above 800 spots on a 2D-gel using Melanie II software. Many proteins which involved in chaperones were significantly up-regulated in recombinant E. coli. Therefore, it could be concluded that the expression of recombinant protein in E. coli acted as a stress to the cells, which change cells ability to synthesize proteins and induced the expression of various protective proteins.
