초록

Inducible system을 이용하여 (R)-hydroxybutyric acid (R3HB)를 생산하는 재조합 대장균을 개발하였다. Ralstonia eutropha에서 유래한 PHB depolymerase 유전자를 inducible promoter에 의하여 발현되게 만들고, PHB 생합성 유전자가 있는 vector에 cloning하였다. PHB 생합성 유전자와 depolymerase 유전자를 가지고 있는 재조합 대장균을 배양하여 먼저 PHB를 축적시킨 후에 depolymerase를 발현시켜 배지 내로 분비된 R3HB를 확인하였다. 그 결과 축적된 PHB의 대부분은 발현된 depolymerase에 의하여 분해되었으며, depolymerase의 발현 이후에도 재조합 대장균은 PHB를 축적하고 분해하여 R3HB의 농도는 배양시간에 따라 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 inducible depolymerase를 갖는 재조합 대장균을 이용하여 높은 농도의 R3IB를 얻을 수 있다는 것을 보여준다.

An inducible expression system of poly[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate] (PHB) depolymerization was established in metabolically engineered Escherichia coli with the PHB biosynthesis genes. The Ralstonia eutropha PHB depolymerase gene was cloned in a vector system containing the PHB biosynthesis genes and expressed under inducible promoter. Recombinant E. coli harboring the PHB biosynthesis genes and depolymerase gene was first cultured for the accumulation of PHB, and then the depolymerase was expressed resulting in the degradation of accumulated PHB into (R)-3-hydroxybutyric acid (R3HB). R3HB could be produced with the concentration of 7.6 g/L in flask culture. Two different PHB biosynthesis genes from Alcaligenes latus and R. eutropha were compared for the production of R3HB. This strategy can be used for the production of enantiomerically pure (R)-hydroxycarboxylic acids with high concentration.
