아메바의 cytolytic process가 주로 가수분해 효소 환성과 관계 깊다는 연구들이 70년대 후반부터 병원성 Entamoeba sp.와 Naegleria sp.에서 보고되었지만 Acanthamoeba sp.에서는 가수분해 효소 환성에 관한 연구는 찾아볼 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 병원성이 없는 것으로 알려진 Acanthamoeba royreba를 대조로 하여 병원성이 있는 A. culbertsonl이 가수분해 효소 활성도를 측정하고 이들을 비교하고자 하였다. A. culbertsoni를 마우스에 감염시켰더니 15일내에 마우스 모두가 사망하였으며, 평균 생존기간은 8.5일이었고, 아베바성 수막뇌염으로 사망했음을 알 수 있었다. 반면에 A. royreba를 감염시킨 마우스에서는 수막뇌염이 발생되지 않았다. CGV배지에서 두 종(種) 아메바를 배양하여 아메바 추출물 및 배양액에서 가수분해 효소의 환성을 측정한 결과 A. rcyreba에 비해 A. culbertsoni 세포의 추출물 및 배양액에서 현저히 활성도가 높은 가수분해 효소는 acid phosphatase, p-N-acetyl galactosaminidase, β-N-acetyl glucosaminidase, α-mannosidase, neutral proteinase, acid proteinase였다. 표적 세포인 CHO 세포에 혼합한 A. culbertsoni는 대조군에 비해 강한 세포독성을 나타내었고 CHO 세포와의 혼합후 48시간 후 80%, 72시간후 95% 이상의 CHO 세포가 사멸하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 반면에 A. royreba를 혼합하였을 때는 별다른 세포독성을 나타나지 않았다. CHO 세포에 혼합한 A. tulbgrtsoni이 가수분해 효소 활성도를 경과 시간별로 측정하였던 바 CGV 배지에서 배 양시간이 지남에 따라 아메바내보다 그 배양액에서 더 높은 효소 활성도를 나타내었던 acid phosphatase, β-N·acetyl galactosaminidase, β-N·acetyl glucosaminidase, α-mannosidase, acid proteinase는 혼합 120시간 동안 아메바내에서 더 높은 효소 활성도를 나타내었으며, neutral proteinase의 활성도는 경과시간이 지남에 따라 아메바내에서는 일정하였지만 그 배양액인 EBSS용액내에서는 점점 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 성적으로 보아 마우스에서 수막뇌염을 일으키는 A. cuzbertsoni는 비 병원성인 A. reyreba와 비교할 때 여러 종류 가수분해 효소들의 활성도에 현저한 차이를 나타내고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 표적세포인 CHO세포에 대한 A. cuzbertsoni의 세포독성은 강함을 알 수 있었고, 이 때 몇 종류 가수분해 효소들의 환성도도 높게 나타났으며, 이러한 소견이 A. culbertsoni의 병원성과 관련이 있을 것으로 추측되었다.

To evaluate the effect of spermatozoa culture on glycosidase activity of frozen-thawed spermatozoa in human, the spermatozoa were treated experimentally and assayed for activities of ${\alpha}$-L-fucosidase, ${\alpha}$-D-mannosidase, ${\beta}$-D-galactosidase and N-acetyl-${\beta}$-D-glucosaminidase (${\beta}$-GlcNAc'ase). The ${\beta}$-GlcNAc'ase activity was at least two-folds higher than other glycosidases regardless of spermatozoa incubation (p<0.05). The spermatozoa motility was decreased with incubation periods, but no effects by different glycosidases on the changes of spermatozoa motility during the various periods of incubation. In all glycosidases, the spermatozoa-zona binding rates in spermatozoa without incubation were higher than in spermatozoa incubated for 2 h (p<0.05). ${\beta}$-GlcNAc'ase is present mainly in the plasma membrane of spermatozoa frozen-thawed in human. It was also shown that the glycosidase activity was increased in all glycosidases in spite of lower sperm-zona binding by spermatozoa incubation.

Glycosidase activities were tested from the grape berries, Vitis labruscana B. Takasumi. Among various glycosidases, $\alpha$-D-galactosidase was found to be the most active in the flesh and other glycosidases were considerably active in the order of the following: $\alpha$-D-mannosidase>$\alpha$-D-glucosidase>$\beta$-D-glucosidase>$\beta$-D-galactosidase. In the seeds, $\alpha$-D-glucosidase activity was the highest and other glycosidases such as $\alpha$-D-galactosidase, $\beta$-D-glucosidase, and $\beta$-D-galactosidase were still significantly active. The $\alpha$-D-galactosidase in the grape flesh was purified over 83-folds through salting-out with $(NH_4)_2SO_4$ and a series of chromatographies employing Sephadex G-50, Octyl-Sepharose, Q-Sepha- rose, and Biogel P-100. The enzyme was a monomer of 45 kDs as determined through SDS-PAGE and Sephacryl S-200 chromatography. The purified enzyme showed a preference of $\alpha$-D-galactose to $\beta$-D-galactose as a substrate about 5.4 times. Sulfhydryl specific reagents such as N-ethylmaleimide and iodoacetamide significantly inhibited the enzyme activity to the extents of 48 and 52% of its initial activity, respectively. The optimumpH range of $\alpha$-D-galactosidase was around 6.5-7.0. The enzyme activity increased by 46% in the presence of 1mM $Fe^{2+}$.

Lysosomal enzymes might play a most important role in the pathogenesis od diabetic microangiopathy. Some glycosidases, which participate in the catabolism of glycoprotein, are significantly decreased in diabetic mice. In search of new potential lysosomal enzyme inducers, we examined the effects of crude red-ginseng saponin fraction on N-acetyl-$\beta$-D-glucosaminidase, $\beta$-D-galactosidase and $\alpha$-D-mannosidase activities in the liver and kidney of normal and streptozotocin induced diabetic mice. It was found that i.p. administration of ginseng saponin produced the induction of lysosomal enzymes in the kidney more intensively than in the liver. The obtained results suggest the possibility that ginseng saponin might prevent the diabetic microangiopathy.

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) 감염된 baby hamster kidney (BHK) 세포에서 합포체 형성은 세포막 표면으로의 수송된 바이러스 당단백질 hemagglutinin-neuramidase (HN)에 의해 일어난다. HAU 값은 추출물의 농도가 25.0과 $3.2{\mu}g/mL$ 사이에서는 현저하게 감소하였으나, NDV 감염된 HAD (%)는 $25.0{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서 광범위한 흡착능의 감소를 나타내 바이러스 당단백질의 세포내 생합성은 저해되지 않았다. 그러므로, 약용식물인 빈랑 메탄올 추출물이 바이러스 당단백질의 세포막으로의 수송과 함께 합포체 형성을 저해하여 항바이러스 작용을 하였다. 또한 빈랑 추출물의 저해활성을 조사한 결과 ${\alpha}$-glucosidase에 대한 추출물의 $IC_{50}$은 $10.0{\mu}g/mL$이었으며, ${\alpha}$-mannosidase, ${\beta}$-glucosidase, ${\beta}$-mannosidase에 대한 빈랑 추출물의 $IC_{50}$은 각각 20.0, 40.0, $80.0{\mu}g/mL$로 나타나 ${\beta}$-type glycosidases 보다 ${\alpha}$-type glycosidases에 대한 효소활성 저해능이 우수하였다. 따라서 $IC_{50}$농도에서는 세포내에서 당단백질 생합성은 저해되지 않으며 당단백질의 수송을 저해하는 것으로 판단되었으며 향후 항바이러스 관련 작용기작의 연구가 필요하다고 판단된다.

Various microorganisms were isolated from the surface waters and sediments of eutrophic lakes and reservoirs in Korea to enable an investigation of bacteria having algal lytic activities against Anabaena flos-aquae when water blooming occurs and to study enzyme profiles of algal lytic bacteria. Two bacterial strains, AFK-07 and AFK-13, were cultured, characterized and identified as Acinetobacter johnsonii and Sinorhizobium sp., respectively. The A. johnsonii AFK-07 exhibited a high level of degradatory activities against A. flos-aquae, and produced alginase, caseinase, lipase, fucodian hydrolase, and laminarinase. Moreover, many kinds of glycosidase, such as ${\beta}-galactosidase,\;{\beta}-glucosidase,\;{\beta}-glucosaminidase,\;and\; {\beta}-xylosidase$, which hydrolyzed ${\beta}-O-glycosidic$ bonds, were found in cell-free extracts of A. johnsonii AFK-07. Other glycosidases such as ${\alpha}-galactosidase,\;{\alpha}-N-Ac-galactosidase,\;{\alpha}-mannosidase,\; and\;{\alpha}-L-fucosidase$, which cleave ${\alpha}-O-glycosidic$ bonds, were not identified in AFK-07. In the Sinorhizobium sp. AFK-13, the enzymes alginase, amylase, proteinase (caseinase and gelatinase), carboxymethyl-cellulase (CMCase), laminarinase, and lipase were notable. No glycosidase was produced in the AFK-13 strain. Therefore, the enzyme system of A. johnsonii AFK-07 had a more complex mechanism in place to degrade the cyanobacteria cell walls than did the enzyme system of Sinorhizobium sp. AFK-13. The polysaccharides or the peptidoglycans of A. flos-aquae may be hydrolyzed and metabolized to a range of easily utilized monosaccharides or other low molecular weight organic substances by strain AFK-07 of. A. johnsonii, while the products of polysaccharide degradation or peptidoglycans were more likely to be utilized by Sinorhizobium sp. AFK-13. These bacterial interactions may offer an alternative effective approach to controlling the water choking effects of summer blooms affecting our lakes and reservoirs.

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) 감염된 baby hamster kidney 세포에서 Syncytium (합포체) 형성은 세포막 표면으로의 수송된 바이러스 당단백질 hemagglutinin-neuramidase에 의해 일어난다. HAU 값은 추출물의 농도가 25과 $3.2{\mu}g/mL$ 사이에서는 현저하게 감소하였으나, $25{\mu}g/mL$ 농도에서는 NDV 감염된 HAD (%)는 광범위한 흡착능의 감소를 나타났으나 바이러스 당단백질의 세포내 생합성은 저해되지 않았다. 그러므로 오배자 추출물은 바이러스 당단백질의 세포막으로의 수송과 함께 합포체 형성을 저해하여 항바이러스 활성을 갖는 것으로 결론된다. 또한 오배자 추출물의 저해활성을 조사한 결과 ${\alpha}-glucosidase$에 대한 추출물의 $IC_{50}$은 $12.5{\mu}g/mL$이었으며, ${\beta}-glucosidase$, ${\alpha}-glucosidase$, ${\beta}-mannosidase$에 대한 오배자 추출물의 $IC_{50}$은 각각 26, 36, $50{\mu}g/mL$로 나타나 ${\beta}-type$ glycosidases 보다 ${\alpha}-type$ glycosidase에 대한 효소활성 저해능이 우수하였다. 따라서 $IC_{50}$ 농도에서는 세포내에서 당단백질 생합성은 저해되지 않으며 당단백질의 수송을 저해하는 것으로 판단되었으며 향후 항바이러스 관련 작용기작의 연구가 필요하다고 사료된다.

Anisakis simplex sensu stricto와 A. pegreffii의 3기 유충과 4기 유충에서 얻은 excretory-secretory (ES) products 및 somatic extracts의 가수분해효소 활성을 API ZYM kit를 이용하여 비교하였다. Esterase 그룹의 가수분해효소 중 acid phosphatase는 A. simplex (s.s.)와 A. pegreffii 모두에서 높은 활성을 나타냈으며, esterase (C 4)의 경우 somatic extracts에서만 가수분해효소 활성이 나타났는데 A. simplex (s.s.)가 A. pegreffii와 비교하여 3기와 4기 유충 모두에서 2배 가량 높은 활성을 나타냈다. alkaline phosphatase, acid phosphatase 그리고 naphthol-AS-BI-phosphohydrolase의 경우 A. simplex (s.s.)와 A. pegreffii 모두 3기 유충보다 4기 유충에서 더 높은 가수분해효소 활성이 확인되었다. Aminopeptidase 그룹의 가수분해효소 활성은 leucine arylamidase에서 관찰되었는데, somatic extracts의 경우 A. pegreffii 보다 A. simplex (s.s.)에서 가수분해 효소 활성이 두 배 가량 높게 확인되었으며, 대부분의 다른 효소들에서는 활성이 거의 나타나지 않았다. Glycosidase 그룹의 가수분해효소 활성은 N-acetyl-${\beta}$-glucosaminidase, ${\alpha}$-mannosidase 그리고 ${\alpha}$-fucosidase에서 확인되었는데, A. simplex (s.s.) 보다 A. pegreffii에서 높은 가수분해효소 활성을 확인할 수 있었으며, 대부분 4기 유충보다 3기 유충에서 더 높은 가수분해효소 활성이 확인되었다. 이러한 아니사키스속 선충의 종과 유충단계에 따른 가수분해 효소의 활성 차이는 선충의 성장, 탈피, 소화, 섭이 등의 대사과정의 차이에 기인한 것으로 생각된다.

Glycosidase activities in the grape flesh (Marguerite) were assayed, and the order of activity was marked as follows: ${\alpha}$-D-galactosidase>${\alpha}$-D-mannosidase>${\alpha}$-D-glucosidase>${\beta}$-D-galactosidase>${\beta}$-D-glucosidase. Of these glycosidases, ${\alpha}$- and ${\beta}$-D-galactosidases were prominently expressed by the treatment of gibberellic acid, resulting in 56 and 238% increase of activity, respectively. Most of ${\alpha}$-D-galactosidase was found in the flesh texture, and the activity increase by gibberellic acid occurred mostly in this tissue. The increase in ${\alpha}$-D-galactosidase activity was dependent on the concentration of gibberellic acid treated, showing a positive correlation. Gibberellic acid affected the content of total protein in the grape flesh, 49% increase by 75 ppm treatment. Above this concentration, higher gibberellic acid level did not influence the protein expression. Specific activity of the ${\alpha}$-D-galactosidase still increased, showing 24% increase in activity. Grape flesh subjected by gibberellic acid (100 ppm) resulted in the increased activity against a natural substrate, stachyose, showing 55% increase in activity from the grapes treated with 100 ppm of gibberellic acid. Other natural substrates, such as melibiose and raffinose, were also considerably hydrolyzed, and the extent was similar to that of stachyose hydrolysis. During postharvest storage, ${\alpha}$-D-galactosidase activity in the grape flesh increased by 51% after 20 days and then declined slowly.

This study evaluated the effect of fertilization-promoting peptide (FPP) on fertilizing ability and glycosidase activity in vitro of spermatozoa frozen-thawed in pig, Using chlortetracycline fluorescence analysis, the various glycosidase analyses and the oocyte penetration test, we have obtained evidence that FPP can promote the fertilizing ability and glycosidase activity of frozen-thawed spermatozoa in vitro. When frozen-thawed spermatozoa was washed with different concentrations of FPP, there were significantly (P<0.05) more acrosome-reacted in medium with 100 nM than 0, 50, 200 and 400 nM. The penetration rates were also highest in medium containing with 100 nM FPP (P<0.05). On the other hand, the $\beta$-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity was at least twofold higher than other glycosidase. In same glycosidase, however, there were no difference in medium with different concentrations of FPP In another experiment, spermatozoa preincubated in medium with or without FPP for 0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 h were inseminated with oocytes matured in vitro. The percentages of spermatozoa that reached acrosome reaction were affected by preincubation and were higher in medium with that than without FPP. When oocytes were inseminated with spermatozoa preincubated in medium with and without FPP during the different periods, however, penetration rates were decreased with preincubation periods of spermatozoa. On the other hand, when the sperm-oocyte were cultured for 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 h, the penetration rates were higher in spermatozoa preincubated with that than without FPP and had a tendency to increase as time of culture periods. However, The activities of $\alpha$-fucosidase, $\alpha$ -mannosidase, $\beta$-galactosidase and N-acetyl- $\beta$-D-glucosaminidase were higher in medium with that than without FPP regardless of periods of sperm preincubation and sperm-oocyte culture. These results suggest that FPP may play a positive role in promoting of sperm function and glycosidase activity in vitro in pig.
