본 논문은 Bacillus velezensis에서 유래한 항당뇨 기능성 소재인 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ)의 생합성 유전자 클러스터를 재조합 Corynebacterium glutamicum에 도입하여, mannosidase-inhibiting 이미노당을 생산하는 방법을 다루고 있습니다. 또한 DNJ의 핵심 생합성 효소인 GabT1, Yktc1, GutB1의 특성을 정제 형태 및 세포 생촉매 형태에서 각각 분석하고, 다양한 기질에서 이미노당의 생산성 및 효소 억제능을 평가하였습니다.
본 연구를 통해 DNJ 및 DMJ와 같은 mannosidase-inhibiting 이미노당을 효율적으로 생산할 수 있는 미생물 균주 플랫폼을 활용하여, 당뇨병 및 암, 희귀질환, 바이러스 감염 등의 치료를 위한 이미노당 기반의 신약 개발 가능성을 제시하고 있습니다.
