  • Title: Cloning of fibrinolytic enzyme gene from Bacillus subtilis isolated from Cheonggukjang and its expression in protease-deficient Bacillus subtilis strains.
    Author: Jeong SJ, Kwon GH, Chun J, Kim JS, Park CS, Kwon DY, Kim JH.
    Journal: J Microbiol Biotechnol; 2007 Jun; 17(6):1018-23. PubMed ID: 18050921.
    Abstract:
    Bacillus subtilis CH3-5 was isolated from cheonggukjang prepared according to traditional methods. CH3-5 secreted at least four different fibrinolytic proteases (63, 47, 29, and 20 kDa) into the culture medium. A fibrinolytic enzyme gene, aprE2, encoding a 29 kDa enzyme was cloned from the genomic DNA of CH3-5, and the DNA sequence determined. aprE2 was overexpressed in heterologous B. subtilis strains deficient in extracellular proteases using a E. coli-Bacillus shuttle vector. A 29 kDa AprE2 band was observed and AprE2 seemed to exhibit higher activities towards fibrin rather than casein.
