  • Publication number: 20230295644
    Abstract: Provided is a vector capable of co-expressing two different target proteins on the microbial surface using two promoters derived from Lactobacillus, and a method of expressing target proteins on the microbial surface using the vector. The vector containing foreign genes inserted therein is transformed into a microorganism, and allows different foreign proteins to be stably expressed on the surface of the microorganism. Furthermore, provided is a surface expression vector containing the gene pgsA encoding a poly-gamma-glutamate synthetase complex, and a method of expressing a target protein on the microbial surface using the vector. The vector containing foreign genes inserted therein is transformed into a microorganism, and allows the foreign proteins to be stably expressed on the surface of the microorganism.

  • Publication number: 20220033812
    Abstract: Provided is a galactose mutarotase gene promoter derived from Lactobacillus casei and the use thereof, and more particularly, to a Lactobacillus casei-derived galactose mutarotase gene promoter having the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, an expression vector containing the promoter, and a microorganism transformed with the expression vector. A microorganism transformed with an expression vector containing the promoter may effectively express a target protein on the cell surface, and thus is useful as a vaccine vehicle or the like. Moreover, provided is a surface expression vector having pgsA, which is a gene encoding poly-gamma-glutamate synthetase, and a method of expressing a target protein on the microbial surface using the vector. The vector containing foreign genes inserted therein is transformed into a microorganism and allows a foreign protein is to be stably expressed on the surface of the microorganism.

  • Patent number: 8410046
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a new antibiotic peptide and a usage thereof, which are derived from ribosomal protein L1, RPL1 of Helicobacter pylori. Specifically, the antibiotic peptide comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ. ID. NO:1 derived from ribosomal protein L1, RPL1 of Helicobacter pylori is substituted with a Phenylalanine, which is situated at the first and the eighth position from the antibiotic peptide, or in addition an Asparagine, which is situated at the thirteenth position of the antibiotic peptide, is substituted with lysine, wherein the produced peptides have maintained more decreased cytotoxicity when comparing to the existing antibiotic peptides and can be used as a safe antibiotics by showing more antibacterial activity.

  • Patent number: 8080402
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for expressing each of peptide antibiotics P5 3 and Anal3 35 having amphiphilicity and showing antibacterial, antifungal and anticancer activities 61, 63, 65, 67, 69, 71, on the microbial surface, using a vector containing outer membrane protein genes (pgsBCA) that are derived from Bacillus sp. strains and involved in the synthesis of poly-gamma-glutamate. Moreover, the present invention relates to lactic acid-forming bacteria having each of the peptide antibiotics P5 15 and Anal3 43 expressed on their surface, and the use thereof. According to the present invention, the peptide antibiotics can be expressed on the surface of various microorganisms transformed with the surface expression vectors. The inventive method for the surface expression of the peptide antibiotics allows the peptide antibiotics to be mass-produced without a purification process. Thus, the inventive method has very high industrial applicability.
