Sennoside A (erythro) and sennoside B (threo) are dianthrone glycosides and diastereomers. We investigated their abilities to prevent the gastric lesions associated with diseases, such as, gastritis and gastric ulcer. To elucidate their gastroprotective effects, the inhibitions of $HCl{\cdot}tOH$-induced gastritis and indomethacin-induced gastric ulcers were assessed in rats. It was observed that both sennoside A and sennoside B increased prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$) levels and inhibited $H^+/K^+$-ATPase (proton pump). In a rat model, both compounds reduced gastric juice, total acidity and increased pH, indicating that proton pump inhibition reduces gastric acid secretion. Furthermore, sennoside A and B increased $PGE_2$ in a concentration-dependent manner. In a gastric emptying and intestinal transporting rate experiment, both sennoside A and sennoside B accelerated motility. Our results thus suggest that sennoside A and sennoside B possess significant gastroprotective activities and they might be useful for the treatment of gastric disease.

An Arpase complex has been purified to apparent homogeniety from the extract of chick skeletal muscle using conventional column chromatographies and glycerol density gradient centrifugation. This eWe has a sedimentation coefficient of 15S as determined by the gradient centrifugation and therefore is referred to as the 15S ATPase. It behaves as a 600-kOa molecule upon gel filtration analysis using a Superose-6 column. However, the ATPase runs as a 95-kDa polvpeptide when analyzed by polvacrvlamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. Thus, the Arpase is likely to consist of six identical subunits of 95 KDa. It has a Km value of 0.6 mM for ATP and is maximally active at pH 9.

D. radiodurans RecA 단백질은 DNA에 결합한 DNA-단백질 복합체만이 ATPase 활성을 나타내며. 보통의 낮은 염 농도조건에서는 DNA가 존재하지 않으면 RecA 단백질에 의한 ATP 가수분해는 거의 일어나지 않았으나 이러한 ATP 가수분해현상은 높은 농도의 염을 첨가하게 되면 1,000배 활성화 되었으며 1.6 M KCl이 존재할 때 ATP 혹은 dATP를 가수분해 하였다. DNA가 존재하지 않을 때 염에 의해 촉진되는 활성은 RecA 단백질 농도에 비례하였고, 더 높은 염농도에서 더 높은 ATP 가수분해 활성이 나타났다. 이러한 활성화 현상을 다양한 종류의 이온 형태에서 분석하였을 때 1.6 M Cl 음이온이 존재할 때 양이온의 형태에 따른 활성화 정도는 $K^+{\geq}Na^+$> $NH_4^+$의 경향을 보였으며, 1.6 M의 K 양이온 존재할 때 음이온의 형태에 따른 활성화는 glutamate > $Cl^-$ > acetate > $PO_4^-$의 순서로 높게 나타났다. 고농도의 염이 존재하는 조건에서 DNA 비의존성 ATPase의 활성은 비교적 넓은 범위 최적 조건인 pH7과 pH 8 사이에서 최대 활성을 보였고, 기질에 대한 친화도면에서도 외가닥 DNA 의존성 활성보다는 이중가닥 DNA 의존성 활성형태를 보였다. 고농도의 염이 첨가되고 DNA가 존재하지 않을 때 RecA 단백질에 의한 ATP 가수분해를 위한 RecA 단백질의 활성 종 형태는 최소 3개의 RecA 단백질이 결합되어 있는 과량체로 작용하는 것으로 나타났다.

Aliphatic alkenals having 6 to 13 carbons were evaluated for antifungal activity against Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The activity was gradually increased with chain length, e.g., (E)-2-decenal and (E)-2-undecenal exhibited maximum potency, while (E)-2-dodecenal and (E)-2-tridecenal were completely inactive. Alkenals showed increasing inhibitory activity with chain length, as in the case of antifungal activity, towards glucose-induced medium acidification by the plasma membrane $H^+$-ATPase of S. cerevisiae. The group including (E)-2-nonenal, (E)-2-decenal, and (E)-2-undecenal exhibited maximum potency, but the potency of (E)-2-dodecenal and (E)-2-tridecenal demonstrated a sudden drop with respect to the former group. (E)-2-Nonenal revealed dose-responsive inhibition to the medium acidification and inhibited over 90% at a concentration of 1.25 mM ($175.3{\mu}g$/ml). In contrast to (E)-2-undecenal whose inhibitory efficiency increased with incubation time, inhibition by (E)-2-dodecenal was reversed with time. Of the tested alkenals, (E)-2-heptenal and (E)-2-octenal most highly inhibited ATP hydrolytic activity by the plasma membrane $H^+$ ATPase, while (E)-2-heptenal at 10 mM ($1121.8{\mu}g$/ml) showed an inhibitory efficacy of 93.2%.

Sarcolemmal membrane fraction from canine ventricle was isolated from the discarded pellet after the first homogenization in the isolation procedure of sarcoplasmic reticulum (Method 1) and the protein yield, purity, and sidedness of this preparation were compared to those of sarcolemmal fraction prepared by method of Lee et al. (Method 2) and a slight modification of original protocol of Jones et al. (Method 3). Method 1 differed from Method 2 essentially only in that vigorous homogenization was carried out by omnimixer and homogenization medium containing 30mM Tris-maleate was used in the first step. The sarcolemmal fraction was enriched from 45 to 50 and 29-fold in [$^3H$] ouabain, [$^3H$] DHA, [$^3H$] QNB binding and $Na^+$, $K^+$-ATPase activity, respectively, compared to homogenate. Total $Na^+$, $K^+$-ATPase activity of highly sarcolemma enriched fraction was 144.6$\pm$16.4$\mu\textrm{mol}$ Pi/mg protein/hr, which was about 85%, of total ATPase activity, and the yield of the preparation was 15.7 mg protein per 100g of starting ventricular tissue. The sarcolemmal preparation supported $^{45}Ca^{2+}$-uptake in the presence of ATP but this uptake was not dependent on oxalate. Sarcolemmal $Na^+$, $K^+$-ATPase activity and detectable [$^3H$] ouabain binding were increased about 32% and 35%, respectively, by pretreatment of sarcolemmal fraction with optimal concentration of sodium dodecylsulfate (0.3-0.4mg/mg protein), suggesting that this preparation contained about 24% of sealed rightside-out vesicles, 26% of sealed inside-out vesicles, and 5001o of freely permeable (leaky) form. This procedure showed the highest protein yield and leaky population, compared to Method 2 and 3. On the other hand, sarcolemmal fraction prepared by Method 2 and 3 showed low value in protein yield but comtained high population of inside-out (46%) and rightside-out (49%) vesicles, respectively, compared to present procedure (Method 1). The results indicate that vigorous homogenization decreases the population of sealed sarcolemmal vesicles but increases the sarcolemmal protein yield per gram tissue and that this procedure is available for further purification of sarcolemmal fraction and for the receptor binding study of sarcolemma.

Yogurt is a product of the acidic fermentation of milk, which affects the survival of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). The aim of this present study was to examine the survival and acid stress response of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG to low pH environment. The survival of LAB in commercial yogurt was measured during long-term storage. The enumeration of viable cells of LAB was determined at 15-day intervals over 52-weeks at $5^{\circ}C$. L. acidophilus, L. casei, and Bifidobacterium spp. showed low viability. However, L. rhamnosus GG exhibited excellent survival throughout the refrigerated storage period. At the end of 52-weeks, L. rhamnosus GG survived 7.0 log10 CFU/mL. $F_0F_1$ ATPase activity in L. rhamnosus GG at pH 4.5 was also evaluated. The ATPase activities of the membranes were higher when exposed at pH 4.5 for 24 h. The survival of L. rhamnosus GG was attributable to the induction in $F_0F_1$ ATPase activity. In addition, the mRNA expression levels of acid stress-inducible genes at low pH were investigated by qRT-PCR. clpC and clpE genes were up-regulated after 1 h, and atpA and dnaK genes were up-regulated after 24 h of incubation at pH 4.5. These genes could enhance the survival of L. rhamnosus GG in the acidic condition. Thus, the modulation of the enzymes or genes to assist the viability of LAB in the low pH environment is thought to be important.

고전압 펄스 전기장 기술은 가열 공정을 대체할 수 있는 비가열 살균기술로서 꾸준한 연구가 이루어지고 있는 기술이다. 본 실험에서는 미생물의 생리적 측면에서 고전압 펄스 전기장 처리에 의한 효모의 생리적 변화를 살펴보았다. 내염성의 변화를 측정한 결과 사멸하지 않은 세포의 90-99% 이상이 세포 손상에 의해 내염성을 소실하였으며, 내염성을 회복하는데 약 4-6시간의 시간이 걸렸다. 고전압 펄스 전기장 처리 초기에는 세포 내외의 pH 구배(${\Delta}pH$)가 차이가 컸으나 처리시간이 증가함에 따라 그 차이가 감소하였다. 이는 세포의 pH 항상성을 유지시키는 $H^+$-traslocation 기능을 담당하고 있는 $H^+$-ATPase 활성이 소실되었거나 세포막 자체가 손상되어 pH 항상성을 잃어버렸기 때문으로, 이는 고전압 펄스 전기장 처리한 세포의 $H^+$-ATPase의 활성이 초기부터 크게 감소하는 것으로 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 세포의 해당활성이 고전압 펄스 전기장 처리에 의해 크게 감소하여 세포의 대사 기능이 손상되는 것을 확인하였다.

Rat ventricles respond with a biphasic positive inotropic effect to ouabain, low-dose and high-dose effects but rat atria with only a monophasic high dose effect. In an effect to understand the difference in response to ouabain of two tissues between rat atria and ventricles the levels of the $a_{2}$ -isoform of the $Na^{+}$, $K^{+}$-ATPase which has higher affinity for ouabain than the $a_{1}$-iso-form were determined by a $[^{3}H]$ouabain binding assay. The yield of protein per gram wet weight was about 47 mg for atria and 100 mg for ventricles. The $K_{d}$ values of ouabain for the high-affinity ouabain binding site $(a_{2} -isoform)$ were nearly the same (230 nM) in the atria and ventricles. However, the numbers of the $a_{2}$-isoform $(B_{max})$ per mg protein were approximately half in the atria. When the binding data were expressed in unit per gram tissue wet weight, the numbers of $a_{2}$ -isoform in the atria was about 25% of that in the ventricles. THese results demonstrate that the $a_{2}$ -isoform of the $Na^{+}$, $K^{+}$-ATPase in the rat atria could be detected by $[^{3}H]$ouabain binding assay and the levels of this isoform are too low to show the low-dose effect of ouabain.

Cylinder-like crystals of $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$ provide views parallel to the lamellar plane, from which parameters of lamellar stacking can be directly measured. These parameters were measured using different preparation methods. Assuming that molecular packing is the same, data from lamellar plane could supplement those obtained by tilting large, thin plate-like crystals. However, base on data obtained .by electron microscopy and x-ray powder patterns, the plate-like crystal may have another scheme for stacking the lamellar. The projection map (h, 0, 1) from cylinder-like crystals using cryoelectron microscopy suggest the lamellar spacing can be variable.
