  • The influence of refeeding either protein, carbohydrate or fat on hepatic insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) mRNA level in chicks which had been fasted for 2 days was examined. The hepatic IGF-I mRNA was measured by ribonuclease protection assay. Fasting reduced hepatic IGF-I mRNA levels to less than half of those in the fed control. When chicks were refed either a control, protein or carbohydrate diet, IGF-I mRNA levels significantly increased to those in the fed control until 2 hours of refeeding. Refeeding of fat did not alter hepatic IGF-I mRNA levels. The significant correlation between liver weight and hepatic IGF-I gene expression suggests that when chicks are refed after 2-d fasting, the acute increase in hepatic IGF-I gene expression brought about after refeeding may be partly regulated by the increase in liver protein metabolism.

  • 어류의 insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I)의 생화학적 작용기작을 연구하기 위하여 한국산 조피볼락의 IGF-I cDNA 유전자 cloning을 행하였다. 완전한 cDNA 유전자 염기서열은 PCR과 RACE 방법을 통하여 얻어진 DNA로부터 결과를 얻을수 있었다. 결정된 IGF-I의 염기서열은 flounder, chinook salmon, human IGF-I의 염기서열과 비교한 결과 각각 93.6%, 90.7%, 85.4%의 높은 상동성을 보였다. 생화학적으로 활성이 있는 재조합 IGF-I을 얻기 위하여 IGF-I의 B-C-A-D domain 부분을 PCR로 얻은 뒤 E. coli BL21(DE3)에 넣어 overexpression 시켰다. Ni-NTA colummn을 사용하여 순수한 재조합 단백질을 정제할수 있었다. 정제된 단백질은 SDS-PAGE 상에서 7 kDa의 단일 band를 보여 주었으며 [$^3H$]-thymidine 결합정도를 측정하는 방법으로 활성을 가지고 있음을 확인할수 있었다.

  • Chlorophyll (ChI) a' is the Cl3$^2$-epimer of ChI a which is the constituent of P700, the primary electron donor of Photosystem (PS) I, of a thrmophilic cyanobacterium, Synechococcus elongatus, whose structure was recently determined by X-ray crystallography. To determine whether PS I of diverse oxygenic photosynthetic organisms universally contain one molecule of ChI a ’, pigment compositions of thylakoid membranes and PS I complexes isolated from cyanobacteria, green algae, red algae and higher plants were determined by reversed-phase HPLC. The results show that involvement of one ChI a'molecule in PS I is the universal feature for Chi a-based PS I of oxygenic photosynthetic organisms.

  • Let {$X_i$, $i{\geq}1$} be a sequence of i.i.d. nondegenerate random variables which is in the domain of attraction of the normal law with mean zero and possibly infinite variance. Denote $S_n={\sum}_{i=1}^n\;X_i$, $M_n=max_{1{\leq}i{\leq}n}\;{\mid}S_i{\mid}$ and $V_n^2={\sum}_{i=1}^n\;X_i^2$. Then for d > -1, we showed that under some regularity conditions, $$\lim_{{\varepsilon}{\searrow}0}{\varepsilon}^2^{d+1}\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{(loglogn)^d}{nlogn}I\{M_n/V_n{\geq}\sqrt{2loglogn}({\varepsilon}+{\alpha}_n)\}=\frac{2}{\sqrt{\pi}(1+d)}{\Gamma}(d+3/2)\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^k}{(2k+1)^{2d+2}}\;a.s.$$ holds in this paper, where If g denotes the indicator function.

  • Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) rich fraction, collected components between 1 kDa and 30 kDa, was fractionated from bovine colostral whey using an ultrafiltration membrane. IGF-I was confirmed in the collected IGF-I rich fraction by both SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. The concentration of IGF-I in the IGF-I rich fraction was 10 ng/mg protein. One hundred microliters of the reconstituted IGF-I rich fraction was intraperitoneally injected into ICR male mice for 2 weeks at 24 h intervals. The functions of peritoneal macrophages, including phagocytosis, interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-${\alpha}$ production, and nitric oxide and hydrogen peroxide production, were enhanced significantly by the administration of the IGF-I rich fraction in a dose-dependent manner (p<0.01). The proliferation of Concanavalin (Con) A-stimulated and Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated splenocytes was also determined to have been enhanced significantly by the administration of the IGF-I rich fraction in a dose-dependent manner (p<0.01). Our results indicate that the administration of IGF-I rich fraction obtained from bovine colostral whey enhances both innate and acquired immunity for ICR male mice.

  • The present study examined the effects of Tween 80 on the attachment and hydrolytic activity of a cellulase enzyme against ball-milled cellulose (BMC), using the whole component (native CBH I) and the catalysis module (core CBH I) of carbohydrolase I purified from Trichoderma viride (Meicelase, Meiji Seika, Tokyo, Japan). The effects were evaluated as protein concentrations in the supernatant after mixing enzyme and substrate with Tween 80 at room temperature. Tween 80 decreased the adsorption of native CBH I and core CBH I onto BMC (p<0.001) and increased the amount of reducing sugars released from BMC by native CBH I (p<0.001). However, Tween 80 did not enhance the hydrolytic activity of core CBH I. Observations using SEM revealed that Tween 80 caused cellulose filter paper to swell and enhanced surface cracks and filaments caused by native CBH I but not by core CBH I. These results suggested that Tween 80 decreases enzyme adsorption to its substrate but enhances enzymatic activity.

  • Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) mRNA levels in the eyes, heart, liver and breast muscle removed from dwarf egg-type, normal egg-type and normal meat-type chicken embryos at 7, 14 and 20 days of incubation were measured. There was no influence of chicken strain on IGF-I gene expression in the eyes and liver. The IGF-I gene expression in eyes increased significantly along with the incubation period. In the liver, IGF-I gene expression at 20 days of incubation was significantly higher than that at 14 days of incubation. In the muscle, the lowest value for IGF-I gene expression was observed in meat-type chicken embryos. Regression analysis revealed that IGF-I gene expression was significantly correlated to the weights of the eyes and liver, but not the muscle. We conclude that there is little influence of strain on tissue IGF-I gene expression in chicken embryos during incubation but that tissue development in chicken embryos is nevertheless at least partly regulated by the change in IGF-I gene expression.

  • 최근 들어 유전자 또는 DNA 분절의 반복수 변이 (CNV)에 관한 연구가 다수 수행되었으며, 그 분석 방법 및 기기 또한 다양하게 발달되었다. 본 연구는 Landrace 품종의 KIT 유전자 CNV 탐지를 위하여 다른 분석 방법들에 비하여 정확도가 높은 정량적 OLA 기법(qOLA)을 이용하였다. qOLA와 pyrosequencing assay의 조합하여 분석한 결과를 Landrace 44두에 대한 좌표 분석을 한 결과 I1/I1 또는 I3/i(IBe), I1/I2 또는 I3/IP, I1/I3, I1/IP 또는 I2/i(IBe), I2/I2, I2/IP의 6 genotype으로 분류되었으며, PROC FASTCLUS procedure을 이용한 통계 분석과 좌표 분석을 상호 비교한 결과 genotype의 분류가 100% 일치하였다. 기기간의 차이점을 조사하기 위해 qOLA_3100과 qOLA _3130의 관측치 비교를 실시한 결과 동일한 genotype 분류결과를 얻었다. 또한 정밀성 및 정확도 비교에서 qOLA_3100의 경우 표준편차와 변이계수의 평균이 2.33과 4.10로 qOLA_3130(2.67과 4.81)에 비하여 낮게 나타났다. qOLA 반응전 PCR 산물에 대하여 proteinase K 처리효과를 분석한 결과 pro- teinase K를 처리한 경우 전기영동 분석시 noise peak들이 제거되었으며 각 genotype의 이론적 비율에 보다 정확히 일치하였다.
