  • 출아 효모인 Saccharomyces cerevisiae의 베타-1,3-글루칸 생합성의 결함을 초래하는 돌연변이 유전자(sool-1)를 분리하여 돌연변이 부위의 염기서열을 결정하고 그 특성을 분석하였다. cool-1 유전자의 염기서열 분석 결과, 681번의 염기인 G가 A로 치환되어 Soolp의 $Gly^{227}$이 Asp로 치환되는 결과를 나타내는 것으로 판명되었고, cool-1 유전자는 기존에 보고된 retl-1 유전자와 동일한 돌연변이 유전자로 판명되었다. 그러나, ret1-1이 나타내는 온도감수성 형질은 배지에 1.2 M sorbitol 등의 삼투안정제를 첨가하면 극복될 수 있으며, cool-l/retl-1의 돌연변이 부위가 세포벽합성 관련 단백질의 번역 후 수식과정에 영향을 미친 것임을 확인하였다. 한편, Soolp/$\alpha$-COP의 N-말단에 존재하는 6개의 WD40 domain중 5번째 WD40 domain이 효모의 세포벽 합성이나 구조유지에 중요한 역할을 담당할 것임을 시사하는 결과를 얻었다.

  • Objectives : Rehmannia glutinosa has been used extensively in Korean traditional medicine. Although thorough clinical trials are lacking, Various pharmacological actions for Rehmannia glutinosa has been identified newly using animal models. In addition, it was reported that reactive intermediates, potentially causing toxic effects, was isolated from one of components in Rehmannia glutinosa. In this article, it is purposed for explanation and introduction of new studies for Rehmannia glutinosa in terms of pharmacological action and toxicology. Methods : New studies for Rehmannia glutinosa were reviewed and summarized in terms of pharmacological action and toxicity. Results and Conclusions : Rhmannia glutinosa and its components including iridoids, saccharides, as well as amino acid, showed a variety of pharmacological actions on the blood system, immune system, endocrine system, cardiovascular system and the nervous system. In addition, it was identified that aucubin, one of major components of Rhmannia glutinosa was biotransformed to reactive intermediates by ${\beta}$-glycosidase and acid-hydrolysis, resulting in forming aucubigenin- albumin adduct. Even if a lot of new pharmacological actions has been identified, it should be considered for Rhmannia glutinosa to contain the material producing reactive intermediates which may induce the side effects.

  • Ampliciline was synthesized from 6-amino-pencillanic acid (6-APA) and D-.alpha. phenylglycine methyl ester by using amplicilin synthesizing enzyme from Peudomonas melanogenum (IAM 1655). The whole cell enzyme was immobilized by entrapping it in the polyacrylamide gel lattices. The polymer used in the enzyme entrapment was made from 150 mg per ml of acrylamide monomer and 8 mg per ml of N, N'-methylenebisacrylamide. About 200 mg/whole cell enzyme was mixed in the polymer for entrapment. The maximal activity retention after immobilization was 56%. The optimal pH values for the whole cell enzyme and the immobilized whole cell enzyme were 6.0 and 5.9, respectively. The optimal temperature for the enzyme activity were the same for both type of preparations. The enzyme stabilities against pH and heat increased for immobilized whole cell enzyme. Immobilized cell was more stable especially in the acidic condition while both type were found to be very suceptible to thermal inactivation at a temperature above 4.deg.C. The kinetic constants obtained from Lineweaver-Burk plot based on two substate reaction mechanism showed somewhat higher value for immobilized whole cell enzyme as compared to the whole cell enzyme : the Km value for 6-APA were 7.0 mM and 12.5 mM while Km values for phenylglycine methyl ester were 4.5 mM and 8.2 mM, respectively. Using the immobilized whole cell enzyme packed in a column reactor, the productivity of ampiciline was studied by varying the flow rate of substrate solution. At the space velocity, SV, 0.14 hr$^{-1}$ the conversion was 45%. Operational stability found in terms of half life was 30 hr at SV = 0.2 hr.

  • The nucleotide sequence of the luxC gene coding for lux-specific fatty acyl-CoA reductase and the upstream DNA (325bp)of the structural gene from bioluminescent bacterium, Photobacterium phosphoreum, has been deternubed. An open reading frame extending for more than 20 codons in 325 bp DNA upstream of luxC was not present in both directions. The lux gene can be translated into a polypeptide of 54 kDa and the amino acid sequences of lux specific reductases of P. phosphoreum shares 80, 65, 58, and 62% identity with those of the Photobacterium leiognathi, Vibrio fischeri, Vibrio harveyi, and Xehnorhabdus luminescenens reductases, respectively. Analyses of codon usage, showing that a high frequency (2.3%) of the isoleucine codon, AUA, in the luxC gene compared to that found in Escherichia coli genes (0.2%) and its absence in the luxA and B genes, suggested that the AUA codon may play a modulator role in the expression of lux gene in E. coli. The structural genes (luxC, D, A, B, E) of the P. phosphoreum coding for luciferase (${\alpha}$,${\beta}$) and fatty acid reductase (r, s, t) polypeptides can be expressed exclusively in E. coli under the T7 phage RNA polymerase/promoter system and identificationof the [35S]methionine labelled polypeptide products. The degree of expression of lux genes in analyses of codon usage. High expression of the luxC gene could only be accomplished in a mutant E. coli 43R. Even in crude extracts, the acylated acyl-CoA reductase intermediate as well as acyl-CoA reductrase activities could be readily detected.

  • Agrocybe cylindracea의 톱밥배양 균사체로부터 항암효과가 있는 것으로 알려진 단백다당류를 분리, 정제하였으며 그 특성을 조사하였다. Agrocybe cylindracea 균사체로부터 열수추출한 조단백다당류(Fr.CB)의 수율은 ethanol 농도가 95%일 때 2.974 g으로서 원재료인 톱밥균사체를 기준으로 0.74%였다. 이 조단백다당류(Fr.CB)를 박막여과, ion exchange chromatography, 그리고 gel filtration에 의해 정제하였다. 조단백다당류 Fr.CB를 박막여과하여 분획한 결과 분자량 30만 이상의 분획(Fr.B)이 38.6%를 차지하여 고분자 단백다당류가 주성분임을 알 수 있었다. Fr.B를 ion exchange chromatography로 분리한 결과 2개의 분획이 17.4%(Fr.B-1), 10.3%(Fr.B-2)의 수율로 얻어졌다. 이들 분획을 농축한 다음 gel filtration한 결과 거의 순수한 단일 단백다당류의 peak를 얻을 수 있었다. Fr.B-1을 분리하여 얻은 $Fr.B-1-{\beta}$ 분획의 수율은 Fr.B-1을 기준으로 42.5%였다. 항암효과의 가능성이 가장 높은 것으로 판단되는 최종 정제된 분획인 $Fr.B-1-{\beta}$의 분자량은 710 KDa 부근이었으며 단당류의 조성을 HPLC로 분석한 결과, glucose가 주성분이었고 그외 fucose, galactose도 검출되었다. 또한 아미노산 조성을 분석한 결과 glutamic acid, alanine이 비교적 많이 검출되었고 cysteine은 검출되지 않았다.

  • Phosphorylation on serine/threonine or tyrosine residues of target proteins is an essential and significant regulatory mechanism in signal transduction during many cellular and life processes, including spermatogenesis, oogenesis and fertilization. In the present work, we reported the isolation and characterization of mouse testis-specific serine/threonine kinase 5 (Tssk5), which contains four alternatively spliced variants including, Tssk5$\alpha$, Tssk5$\beta$, Tssk5$\gamma$ and Tssk5$\delta$. Moreover, the locus of Tssk5 is on chromosome 14qC3 and the four variants had a similar high expression in the testis and the heart; however, had a low expression in other tissues, except for Tssk5$\alpha$ which also had comparably high expression in the spleen. Each variant of Tssk5 expression began in the testis 16 days after birth. Aside from TSSK5$\alpha$, the other isoforms have an insertion of ten amino acid residues (RLTPSLSAAG) in region VIb (HRD domain) (His-Arg-Asp). Moreover, only TSSK5$\alpha$ exhibited kinase activity and consistently, a further Luciferase Reporter Assay demonstrated that TSSK5$\beta$, TSSK5$\gamma$ and TSSK5$\delta$ cannot be stimulated at the CREB/CRE responsive pathway in comparison to TSSK5$\alpha$. These findings suggest that TSSK5$\beta$, TSSK5$\gamma$, TSSK5$\delta$ may be pseudokinases due to the insertion, which may damage the structure responsible for active kinase activity. Pull-down assay experiments indicated that TSSK5$\beta$, TSSK5 $\gamma$ and TSSK5$\delta$ can directly interact with TSSK5$\alpha$. In summary, these four isoforms with similar expression patterns may be involved in spermatogenesis through a coordinative way in testis.

  • A fibrinolytic protease (PoFE) was purified from the cultured mycelia of the edible oyster mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus, using a combination of various chromatographies. The purification protocol resulted in an 876-fold purification of the enzyme, with a final yield of 6.5%. The apparent molecular mass of the purified enzyme was estimated to be 32 kDa by SDS-PAGE, fibrin-zymography, and size exclusion using FPLC. The optimal reaction pH value and temperature were pH 6.5 and $35^{\circ}C$, respectively. PoFE effectively hydrolyzed fibrinogen, preferentially digesting the $A{\alpha}$-chain and the $B{\beta}$-chain over the ${\gamma}$-chain. Enzyme activity was enhanced by the addition of $Ca^{2+},\;Zn^{2+},\;and\;Mg^{2+}$ ions. Furthermore, PoFE activity was potently inhibited by EDTA, and it was found to exhibit a higher specificity for the chromogenic substrate S-2586 for chymotrypsin, indicating that the enzyme is a chymotrypsin-like metalloprotease. The first 19 amino acid residues of the N-terminal sequence were ALRKGGAAALNIYSVGFTS, which is extremely similar to the metalloprotease purified from the fruiting body of P. ostreatus. In addition, we cloned the PoFE protein, encoding gene, and its nucleotide sequence was determined. The cDNA of cloned PoFE is 867 nucleotides long and consists of an open reading frame encoding 288 amino acid residues. Its cDNA showed a high degree of homology with PoMEP from P. ostreatus fruiting body. The mycelia of P. ostreatus may thus represent a potential source of new therapeutic agents to treat thrombosis.
