모티프는 진화과정을 거치면서 단백질 서열상에서 부분적으로 높게 보존된 지역을 의미한다. 이러한 모티프는 단백질의 기능과 구조를 예측하거나 생물학적으로 관련성이 있는 단백질의 공통적인 특성을 기술하는데 사용된다. 또한, 모티프와 단백질 서열의 상관관계는 생물학적 기능 예측에 필수적이며, 이러한 예측 문제는 모티프 검색을 통해 서열에 존재하는 빈발한 서열패턴과 구조패턴을 통해 단백질 서열에 대한 분석이 가능하다. 이 논문에서는 단백질 서열에 존재하는 2차 구조 특성과 빈발패턴을 검색하고 추출된 정보를 이용하여 단백질 기능 분류에 활용하고자 한다.

For efficient extraction of protein from defatted rice bran, the 5 ranges of extraction pH (8, 9, 10, 11 and 12) and the 3 ranges of isoelectric precipitation pH (2, 4 and 6) were used. The protein content, browning reaction, the electrophoresis pattern and the recovery yield of soluble protein at each pH range were compared each other. The recovery yield of soluble protein increased in proportion to extraction pH, but at the same time, browning reaction became more conspicuous. The most amount of protein was recovered at the precipitation pH of 4. The SDS-PAGE patterns of the extracted proteins showed no significant correlations between pH and the protein content, but the highly alkaline condition was more advantageous to extract protein less than 35 kDa. In each pH range, the recovery yield of soluble protein averagely reached 32.5% on the basis of extraction. In result, it was found that combination of extraction pH 10 and precipitation pH 4, which resulted in 37.65% of recovery yield and low level of browning reaction, was the optimum condition for the extraction of protein from defatted rice bran.

The properties of proteolytic enzymes from the fruit of Broussonetia Kazinoki Siebold were investigated. The protease activity of the enzymes from the fruit of Broussonetia Kazinoki Siebold was 1.6 unit. The optimum temperature and pH of the enzymes were $60^{\circ}C$ and 7.0, respectively. The enzymes were stable at pH values from 6 to 8 for 1 hr. at $37^{\circ}C$ of incubation and also retained all activity after incubation for 1 hr. at $60^{\circ}C$. The enzyme preparations showed strong activities toward hemoglobin and collagen.

Tissue origin of individual component proteins in crude extract of adult Paragonimus westermani was investigated. Major soluble component proteins were separated by disc-PAGE in 8% slab gel. By predefined Rf values, strips of gel containing each band protein was cut out. Each band protein was eluted by electrophoresis. Monospecific antibodies were prepared by immunizing rabbits with each band protein. When peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) staining was done, antiserum to Band 1 reacted to content of eggs both in the worm and in the infected lung tissue. Antiserum to Band 2 reacted to parenchymal tissue of the worm. Antiserum to Band 4 showed the positive reaction at intestinal content while that to Band 5 reacted to the intestinal epithelial border. Antiserum to combined proteins of Bands 617 and that to Band 8 reacted to parenchymal tissue of the worm respectively. From the results, the origin of individual proteins in crude extract of adult P. westermani could be differentiated.

현재 생물분자의 기능적 관점에서 단백질 구조에 관심이 많이 모아지고 있다. 단백질의 기능은 구조에서 기인하기 때문에 두 단백질의 구조간의 유사성을 측정할 수 있는 방법은 두 단백질의 기능의 유사성을 유추할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 두 단백질의 구조의 유사성을 측정하기 위한 단백질의 새로운 표현(representation)으로 3차원 에지 히스토그램을 제안한다. 단백질의 3차원 구조를 작은 복셀(voxel)로 이루어진 공간으로 나누고 복셀들로부터 3차원 에지 히스토그램을 추출하여 두 단백질간의 유사도 계산에 이용한다. 이를 통하여 단백질의 검색 및 분류를 시도한다.

본 연구는 고혈압을 억제하는 ACE inhibitory peptide가 한우에 함유되어 있는지를 조사하기 위한 기초연구로 한우의 우둔과 등심으로부터 Myosin B를 추출하여 가열한 것과 가열하지 않은 것으로 구분하여 pepsin으로 0, 1, 3, 6시간 동안 $37^{\circ}C$에서 가수분해 시켰다. 가수분해물을 전기영동을 실시하여 pepsin 처리시간에 따른 단백질의 변화를 검토하였고, ACE 저해 활성을 측정하였다. 전기영동의 결과 가열한 것은 가열하지 않은 것에 비해서 단백질의 변성과 소멸이 많이 일어나 밴드의 수가 적었다. Pepsin으로 가수분해한 시간이 길어짐에 일부 단백질이 소실되었고, 저분자의 단백질이 생성되었다. Pepsin으로 가수분해함에 따라 등심과 우둔에서 25, 32, 40 및 44 kDa는 소실되었고, 37 kDa의 분자량을 갖는 밴드는 생성되었으며, 27 kDa의 단백질은 처음상태 그대로 유지되었다. 가수분해물을 이용하여 ACE 저해활성도를 측정한 결과, 등심은 1시간 가수분해시 유의차가 있었으나, 우둔은 가열여부에 따라 유의차가 발견되지 않았다. 반면 등심과 우둔 모두 가수분해 시간이 증가하면 ACE 저해율은 상승하는 경향을 보였다. 이와 같은 결과를 토대로 한우로부터 추출한 Myosin B의 ACE 억제활성이 우수한 단백질분획을 찾아 아미노산 염기서열을 밝히고 고혈압 억제제로 합성 개발하는 연구를 차후 추진할 예정이다.

This study was conducted to increase crude protein and reducing sugar contents in pollen extracts by proteases. Four commercial neutral proteases (Alcalase 2.4L, Protamex, Flavozyme and Protease A) and two alkaline proteases (Protease S and Protease P) were used to prepare acorn and Darae pollen extracts. Contents of moisture, ash, crude protein and crude fat of acorn pollen were 5.2%, 2.7%, 6.2% and 22.3%, respectively, while those of Darae pollen were 5.4%, 2.8%, 1.8% and 27.8%, respectively. Contents of crude protein and reducing sugar in pollen extracts were increased by proteases. Alcalase 2.4L was the most effective in increasing protein contents while Protease A in increasing reducing sugar contents. It is suggested the use of proteases is one of the potential methods for increasing the contents of crude protein and reducing sugar in preparation of pollen extracts.

In this study, two species of algae, Ecklonia stolonifera, Sargassum thunbergii and one species of marine plant, Zostera marina(rhizoid and stem) were collected and extamined to determine the extractability of water soluble protein and the influences of various factors including extraction time, temperature, ratio of sample vs solvent and pH upon the extractability were tested. The effects of precipitation treatments for isolation of algal protein from the extracts(TCA treatment, methanol treatment and pH control) were also tested. Amino nitrogen and total nitrogen of purified samples made by obtained optimum conditions were estimated. The effect of the ratio of sample vs solvent on extractability differed from species to species which was enhances at 1:100(w/v) in Sargassum thunbergii and Zostera marina while 1:150(w/v) for Ecklonia stolonifera. The effect of extraction time and temperature was revealed differently in all species which might be considered to be caused by differences in the constitution of algal tissues. But in case of TCA insoluble nitrogen, it was showed the maximum extractability at $40-50^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour extraction. The optimum pH for the ext action of total nitrogen was 9-12 while the optimum pH was 6-7 for TCA insoluble nitrogen. And the pH control appeared to be most effective in the influence of precipitation treatment for isolation of algal protein.

We investigated inhibitory effects of Hericium erinaceus on the growth of cancer cells and the expression of cell cycle regulators, cyclins. Anticancer effects of Hericium erinaceus extract and fractions against cancer cell lines including HepG2 and HT29 were investigated. The methanol extract, the hexane fraction, the chloroform fraction and the ethylacetate fraction of Hericiu erinacew inhibited growth of cancer cells but they had no effect on the cytotoxicity of normal human liver cells under the same conditions. As shown by western blot analysis, the expression of cyclin B1 known as cell cycle regulator was markedly decreased after treatment with Hericium erinaceus extract in HepG2 cells. These results suggest that antiproliferative effect of Hericaum erinaceus extract is associated with markedly decreased expression of cyclin B1.

단백질 상호작용에 대한 연구는 생명현상의 전반적인 원리를 규명하는데 필수적이다. 생물학 문헌 데이터베이스로부터 단백질 상호작용 정보를 찾는 것은 많은 시간과 노력이 필요하기 때문에 컴퓨터로 자동화시키는 방법이 요구된다. 문헌으로부터 단백질 상호작용 정보를 추출하는 작업은 단순 문자열 비교를 통한 정보검색으로는 한계가 있으므로 자연어 처리 기법을 적용해 문장의 문법 구조, 품사 정보 등을 이용하면 더 정확한 추출이 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 자연어 처리를 이용하여 문장을 트리로 표현한 뒤 가지치기, 병합 등을 통해 추상화된 트리를 패턴과 매칭하는 방법을 제안한다. 그리고 실제 데이터를 이용한 실험 결과를 통해 기존 방법에 비해 더 높아진 정확도를 확인하였다.
