Abstract

Heterologous expression of glucose oxidase gene using recombinant yeast has been carried out. Polymerase chain reaction was conducted to obtain the gene encoding glucose oxidase from Aspergillus niger and sequence comparison indicated the cloned 1.9kb DNA fragment appeared to be the glucose oxidise structural gene containing a signal sequence for extracellular location. Transforming shuttle vector was constructed with YEp352 to express the cloned glucose oxidase gene under the control of either GAL1 or GAL10 promoter. Plate assay of recombinant yeasts has shown that GAL1 promoter was more effective in yielding glucose oxidise than GAL10 promoter. Among the five different concentrations of galactose tried, 1% galactose showed the highest induction of glucose oxidase. Cellular localization experiment of recombinant enzyme using spheroplast revealed that most of enzymes (80%) were secreted into culture media in contrast to A. niger. There is no difference in heat-stability of recombinant enzyme up to $50^{\circ}C$ compared to the glucose oxidase from A. niger However, a dramatic reduction of enzyme activity was observed in both enzymes at $60^{\circ}C$.

재조합 효모를 이용한 포도당산화효소의 대량생산 에 관한 기초연구를 실시하였다. 분비신호를 포함한 포도당산화효소 유전자는 Aspergillus niger로부터 polymerase chain reaction을 이용하여 클로닝한후 G GALl과 GALlO promoter를 이용하여 s. cerevi siae strain 2805에서 말현시킨 결과 GALl promoter를 사용한 형질전환체(yGOD1-l)에서 높은 효율 의 효소생성을 나타냈다. 플라스크 배양 결과 1% galactose를 포함한 YEP 배 지 에셔 최고 6 IU/mL 의 포도당산화효소를 생산하였으며 재조합 포도당산 화효소의 세포내 위치를 비교한 결과 A. niger와는 달리 발현된 효소가 80% 이상 배지로 분비됨을 확인하였다. 재조합 포도당산화효소의 열 안정성을 측정한 결과 표준품과 비교하여 $50^{\circ}C$까지 큰 차이를 보이지 않고 높은 활성을 유지하는 것으로 확인되었다.
