초록
Phytoene, lycopene, β-carotene과 같은 카로티노이드는식품의 착색제나 영양보조제, 사료첨가제, 화장품의 원료로사용된다. 이전 연구에서 본 연구진은 분홍색의 색소를 생산하는 새로운 해양 세균인 K. gwangalliensis를 분리 동정하였다. Phytoene desaturase (CrtI) 효소는 crtI 유전자에 암호화되어 있으며, phytoene을 lycopene으로 전환하며, 카로티노이드 합성 초기 단계에 있어서 필수적이다. CrtI는 카로티노이드 생합성 조절의 주요 효소 중 하나이며, 다양한 카로티노이드를 생합성하는 생물들의 카로티노이드 생합성 경로에 있어서 속도 조절 단계에 관련이 있다. 본 논문에서는K. gwangalliensis로부터 lycopene 생합성을 담당하는 crtI 유전자를 클로닝 하였으며, 이 유전자는 1,584개의 염기서열을 가지며, 527개의 아미노산을 암호화하고 있다. crtI 유전자의 염기 서열을 Kocuria rhizophila와 Myxococcus xanthus 를 포함한 다른 종의 염기 서열과 비교한 결과, 진화 과정에서 잘 보존되어 있음을 확인하였다. crtI 유전자를 포함하는발현 플라스미드를 구축하여 발현시킨 결과, 이 플라스미드를 함유하는 대장균은 약 57 kDa의 재조합 단백질을 생산화였으며, 이는 phytoene desaturase의 분자량에 해당한다. lycopene의 생합성은 lycopene 생합성에 필요한 crtE, crtB 유전자를 포함한 pRScrtEB plasmid를 E. coli에 형질전환했을 때, Escherichia coli에서 합성되는 것을 확인하였다. 이연구의 결과는 분자 수준에서 K. gwangalliensis CrtI의 1차구조에 대한 폭 넓은 지식 기반을 제공할 것이다.
Abstract
Carotenoids such as phytoene, lycopene, and β-carotene are used as food colorants, animal feed supplements, and for human nutrition and cosmetic purposes. Previously, we reported the isolation of a novel marine bacterium, Kocuria gwangalliensis, which produces a pink-orange pigment. Phytoene desaturase (CrtI), encoded by the gene crtI, catalyzes lycopene formation from phytoene and is an essential enzyme in the early steps of carotenoid biosynthesis. CrtI is one of the key enzymes regulating carotenoid biosynthesis and has been implicated as a rate-limiting enzyme of the pathway in various carotenoid synthesizing organisms. Here, we report the cloning of the crtI gene responsible for lycopene biosynthesis from K. gwangalliensis. The gene consisted of 1,584 bases encoding 527 amino acid residues. The nucleotide sequence of the crtI gene was compared with that of other species, including Kocuria rhizophila and Myxococcus xanthus, and was found to be well conserved during evolution. An expression plasmid containing the crtI gene was constructed (pCcrt1), and Escherichia coli cells were transformed with this plasmid to produce a recombinant protein of approximately 57 kDa, corresponding to the molecular weight of phytoene desaturase. Lycopene biosynthesis was confirmed when the plasmid pCcrtI was co-transformed into E. coli containing the plasmid pRScrtEB carrying the crtE and crtB genes required for lycopene biosynthesis. The results from this study will provide valuable information on the primary structure of K. gwangalliensis CrtI at the molecular level.
