Abstract

Chaperone 분자는 세포 내에서 새로 합성된 polypeptides의 misfolding을 보호하는 역할을 가진다. 이런 chaperone 분자와의 공발현은 활성형 재조합 단백질의 생산을 증가를 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 E. cozi에서 B. macerans 유래 cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase)의 활성형 생산에 GroEL/ES chaperone과의 공발현의 효과에 대해 조사하였다. cgt와 groEL/ES 유전자출 발현하는 pTCGT1과 pGro7은 각각 T7 promoter와 araB promoter에 의해 조절되고 이들을 E. coli cell에 co-transformation시켰다. 재조합 E. coli에서 IPTG와 L-arabinose의 최적 농도를 결정하기 위해 행한 결과 1 mM IPTG, 0.3 mg L-arabinose/<TEX>$m\ell$</TEX>에서 가장 높은 CGTase 활성을 나타내었다. 그리고 tube에서는 L-arabinose와 IPTG를 각각 0.4~0.5 <TEX>$OD_{600}$</TEX>과 0.8~l.0 <TEX>$OD_{600}$</TEX>에서 첨가하였을 때 활성형 CGTase의 생산이 증가되었다. GroEL/ES 공발현 조건에서는 가용성 CGTase 활성이 0.7~0.73 unit/<TEX>$m\ell$</TEX>로 단독 발현의 0.36~0.56 unit/<TEX>$m\ell$</TEX>에 비해 약 1.5 배 정도 증가함을 알 수 있었다. SDS-PAGE 분석에서는 GroEL/ES 공발현 조건에서 총 CGTase의 33.6%정도가 가용성 형태로 생산됨을 알 수 있었다. Molecular chaperones prevent the misfolding of newly synthesized polypeptides in the cell. The coexpression of molecular chaperones could be expected to improve the production of soluble and active recombinant proteins. In this study, the effect of coexpression of E. coli GroEL/ES chaperone on the active production of Bacillus macerans cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) in E. coli was investigated. Two plasmids, pTCGT1 and pGro7 in which the cgt and the groEL/ES genes are under the control of 77 promoter and araB promoter, respectively, were co-transformed into E. coli. With a series of cultures of recombinant E. coli cells, the optimal concentrations of IPTG and L-arabinose were found be 1 mM and 0.3 mg/<TEX>$m\ell$</TEX>, respectively. When IPTG and L-arabinose were added at 0.8~1.0 <TEX>$OD_{600}$</TEX> and 0.4~0.5 <TEX>$OD_{600}$</TEX>, active CGTase production was increased significantly. This coexpression condition resulted in 1.5-fold increased level of soluble CGTase (0.7~0.73 unit/<TEX>$m\ell$</TEX>), compared to the level of CGTase in the single expression (0.36~0.56 unit/<TEX>$m\ell$</TEX>). An SDS-PACE analysis revealed that about 33.6% of CGTase in the total CGTase protein was found in the soluble fraction by coexpression of GroEL/ES chaperone.
