Abstract:
본 발명은 효모의 한 종류인 클루이베로마이세스 마르시아누스 ( Kluyveromyces marxianus )로부터 분리, 정제하여 얻은 카르보닐 환원효소 (Carbonyl Reaductase, CR) 및 이를 분리, 정제하는 방법에 관한 것이다. 본 발명에 의하여 얻어진 환원효소에 의한 환원반응은 미생물에 의한 환원반응 및 화학적 합성방법으로 얻어진 환원효소에 의한 환원반응보다 입체선택성이 높고, 비용과 시간이적인 측면에서 우수하다.
Abstract:
The invention is a gene coding for a quinone oxidoreductase from Kluyveromyces marxianus and a protein having an amino acid sequence expressed therefrom, which can be advantageously used in a reduction reaction of a quinone compound and synthesis of intermediates for a biologically active compound.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A quinone oxidoreductase gene from Kluyveromyces marxianus is provided to be used for the reduction reaction of the quinone compounds and for the intermediate synthesis of the biologically active compounds by way of the excellent quinone reduction activity thereof. CONSTITUTION: A gene codes the amino acid sequence of Kluyveromyces marxianus quinone oxidoreductase(kmQOR) presented at the sequence No. 2. The kmQOR has a molecular weight of about 42kDa. A recombinant vector contains the gene coded with the kmQOR, and is determined to be plasmid pQOR22b. An E. coli is transformed into the recombinant vector. In a method of preparing the kmQOR, the transformed E. coli is first cultured, and β-D-isopropyl-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) is then added to the cultured E. coli to induce the expression of kmQOR therefrom. The expressed kmQOR is collected, and purified.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A carbonyl reductase of Kluyveromyces marxianus and an isolation and purification method thereof are provided, thereby higher stereo-selectively, cheaply and rapidly carrying out the reduction process. CONSTITUTION: A carbonyl reductase isolated and purified from Kluyveromyces marxianus has the properties of the size of 40 to 42 kDa, the active temperature of 25 to 35 deg. C, and the active pH of 6.5 to 7.5, wherein the carbonyl reductase contains the amino acid sequence of Thr-Phe-Thr-Val-Val-Thr-Gly in the amino-terminal. A method for isolating and purifying the carbonyl reductase of Kluyveromyces marxianus comprises the steps of: (1) culturing Kluyveromyces marxianus; (2) centrifuging the cultured medium to collect the pellet and pulverizing the pellet; and (3) centrifuging the pulverized cell extract to collect the supernatant, and subjecting the supernatant to column chromatography to isolate an active fraction containing active material to substrate, wherein the column uses Q sepharose, phenyl sepharose, high-trap blue and gel filtration chromatography, sequentially.
