  • This study was conducted to investigate the effect of taurine supplementation on heat shock protein 70 and in vitro protein turnover in broiler chicks under chronic heat stress. Chicks were allocated into 3 groups of 10 birds per group; the control group was maintained at a temperature of $24^{\circ}C$ without taurine (CO group), the heat-stressed group maintained at a temperature of $34^{\circ}C$ without taurine (HO group), and heat-stressed group maintained at a temperature of $34^{\circ}C$ with taurine (HT group). The final body and liver weights of broilers in the HO and HT groups were significantly lower than those of broilers in the CO group (P<0.05). However, these parameters of the broilers in the HT group were significantly higher than those of broilers in the HO group (P<0.05). The heat shock protein 70 (hsp70) concentration in the liver of broilers in the HO group was significantly higher than that of broilers in the CO and HT groups, but the hsp70 concentration in the liver of broilers in the HT group was not different from that of broilers in the CO group. Liver homogenates of 21 day-old broilers were incubated at temperatures of $37^{\circ}C$ and $45^{\circ}C$ to prove the effect of high temperature and taurine on total protein syntheses. Neither high temperature nor taurine supplementation affected protein syntheses in liver homogenates of the broilers. However, the more the temperature increased, the more the degradation rates of cytoplasmic protein in liver homogenates increased; however, taurine supplementation had no effects on the protein syntheses in the liver of the broiler. It is possible that taurine indirectly affected protein turnover via various physiological mechanisms.

  • 본 논문에서는 게껍질분말 급여에 의한 천연 타우린 강화우유의 생산 가능성을 평가하고자 25두의 젖소를 5군으로 나누고, 각기 대조사료, 1%(1%CS), 3%(3%CS) 및 5% 게껍질분말사료(5%CS), 그리고 formaldehyde로 처리되 3% 게껍질분말사료 (3%FCS)를 30일간 급여하였다. 게껍질분말 단백질의 아미노산조성은 phenylalanine이 가장 높았고, glutamate, aspartate, glycine, serine histidine, arginine의 순으로 나타났으며, 다른 동물조직의 단백질과는 달리 branched-chain 아미노산의 함량이 비교적 낮았다. 게껍질에 함유된 유리아미노산 중 타우린은 가장 고농도로 존재하였으며, 특히 집게다리껍질에 509$\mu$mol/100 g이 함유되어 등뚜껑(319$\mu$mol/100g) 및 게껍질분말(296 $\mu$mol/100 g)에 비해 월등히 그 함량이 높았다. 게껍질분말의 급여가 우유의 타우린농도에 미치는 영향을 평가한 결과 p<0.01 수준에서 유의성이 관찰되었다. 1%CS군의 원유에는 5.84$\pm$0.73 $\mu$mole/100mL의 타우린이 함유되어 대조구 (4.84$\pm$0.29 $\mu$mol/100mL)에 비해 20%정도 더 높았으며, 3%CS군의 원유에는 7.21$\pm$0.77$\mu$mole/100 mL의 타우린이 함유되어 대조구에 비해 49%정도 유의적으로 증가하였다.(p<0.01). 한편, 3%FCS군의 경우 원유의 타우린농도가 3%CS군에 비해 유?거으로 감소하였고, 따라서 게껍질의 formaldehyde 처리는 반추위내에서 타우린을 보호하는데 효과적이지 못한 것으로 나타났다. 본 논문은 게껍질 급여에 의해 우유의 타우린농도가 증가하였음을 밝히는 최초의 보고이며, 본 연구의 결과는 앞으로 기타 축산제품의 타우린함량을 증가시키는데 폭넓게 응용되어질 수 있을 것이다.

  • Criticisms about amyloid cascade hypothesis of Alzheimer's disease(AD) are based on the findings, first, that the degree of dementia does not correlate with the number of plaques, and second, that the neurofibrillary tangle formation seems to predate plaque formation. In addition, neurofibrillary tangle counts correlate well with the degree of cognitive impairment. These findings suggest the independent importance of tau abnormality in AD research which is involved in the neurofibrillary tangle formation. Recently, tau pathology without amyloid deposits and mutations in tau protein gene were reported to be the major pathogenic mechanism in Pick's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy, corticobasal degeneration and FTDP-17(frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked with chromosome 17). These data suggest that understanding the causes and consequences of tau dysfunction might give new clinical and therapeutic solutions to many known tauopathies.

  • Protein compositions of filefish (Navoden modestus) skeletal muscle and their changes in postmortem with reference to freshness kept at $0^{\circ}C$ were investigated. The muscle protein was approximately composed of $31\%\;sarcoplasmic,\;55\%$ myofibrillar, $10\%$residual intracellular, and $4\%$stroma protein. The sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar protein decreased while the residual intracellular protein increased with the decline of freshness during post-mortem lapse. In the analysis of electrophoretograms and its densitograms, the myofibrillar protein resembled to other fishes in protein composition: $70\%$ actin and myosin, $20\%$ regulatory proteins, and $10\%$ unknown proteins. And most of the residual intracellular protein was estimated as myofibrillar protein. Troponin T, troponin C and myosin light chain 2 of the myofibrillar protein constituents were decreased during storage. Amino acid composition of the protein from the at-death muscla was similar to those of other fishes except that tryptophan and sulfur-containing amino acids were scant. Proline and cysteine were remarkably decreased whereas leucine, isoleucine and phenylalanine were slightly increased in the protein from the muscle lapsed of 18 days. In free amino acid composition, alanine, glycine, lysine, and especially taurine were rich in the at-death muscle. The muscle lapsed of 18 days showed an increase of taurine, histidine, valine and methionine, and a decrease of lysine, arginine, aspartic acid, threonine, leucine, and isoleucine.

  • Over the past decades, the immense clinical need for early detection methods and treatments for dementia has become a priority worldwide. The advances in PET biomarkers play increasingly important roles in understanding disease mechanisms by demonstrating the protein pathology underlying dementia in the brain. Amyloid-β and tau deposition in PET images are now key diagnostic biomarkers for the Alzheimer's disease continuum. The inclusion of biomarkers in the diagnostic criteria has achieved a paradigm shift in facilitating early differential diagnosis, predicting disease prognosis, and influencing clinical management. Furthermore, in vivo images showing pathology could become prognostic as well as surrogate biomarkers in therapeutic trials. In this review, we focus on recent developments in radiotracers for amyloid-β and tau PET imaging in Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. Further, we introduce their potential application as future perspectives.

  • We investigated the changes in protein and free amino acid compositions of the muscles, and amino acid composition of the muscle proteins during postmortem storage of dorsal white and lateral dark muscles of Yellowtail, Seriola quinqueradita, which were kept at $2^{\circ}C$. We present an extensive discussion on the relationship between the changes of freshness and those of protein compositions in the white and the dark muscle of the red-fleshed fish by analyzing polyacrylamide gel electrophoretograms of $NaDodSO_4-solubilized$ sarcoplasmic and myofibrillar proteins extracted from the both muscles. By assessing K-value, total volatile basic nitrogen and pH value as a criterion of freshness, we found that the dark muscle undergoes a more rapid decrease in its freshness compared to that of the white muscle. The contents of the sarcoplasmic and the myofibrillar protein were decreased with postmortem aging of the muscles while those of the residual intracellular protein were increased, and these changes were somewhat faster in the dark muscle than in the white muscle. From the analysis of the electrophoretograms and their densitograms, we found that the sarcoplasmic proteins of the white and the dark muscle were respectively composed of 16 and 12 components. The sarcoplasmic protein of the white muscle lapsed for 10 days showed an increase of 18,000 and 41,000 dalton components, and a gradual decrease of 23,000 and 23,500 dalton components, whereas the sarcoplasmic protein of the dark muscle lapsed for 9 days showed a decrease of 49,000 dalton component, an appearence of a newly formed component of 47,000 dalton, and a disappearance of 26,000 dalton component. The electrophoretograms of the myofibrillar proteins shelved that the white and the dark muscle were composed of 17 and 16 components, respectively. Depending on the lapsed time of postmortem under the controlled condition, the myofibrillar proteins of the white muscle showed an increase of 40,000 dalton component, a gradual decrease of 37,500 dalton component, an appearance of a newly forming component of 32,000 dalton and a disappearance of 26,000 dalton component. On the other hand, the myofibrillar proteins of the dark muscle showed an increase of 58,000 and 64,000 dalton bands, a disappearance of light chain-2 protein and an appearance of a newly forming protein of 32,000 dalton. These changes on the electrophoretic patterns in the dark muscle were more rapid than those in the white muscle. In almost all of the cases, we observed that the changes in the sarcoplasmic protein were faster than those in the myofibrillar protein. The analysis of amino acid of the both muscle proteins showed that the white muscle was rich in glutamic acid, aspartic acid, leucine, arginine, lysine, etc. but was poor in proline and tryptophan. No significant difference was found in the amino acid composition of protein of both the white and the dark muscles. The sample of white muscle lapsed for 10 days shows a remarkable decrease in glutamic and aspartic acids, while that of the dark muscle lapsed for 9 days shows an appreciable decrease in alanine, glycine and arginine. The free amino acid compositions of the white and the dark muscles are respectively characterized with $63\%$ of histidine and $67\%$ of taurine with respect to the total free amino acids of the yellowtail at-death, respectively. The white muscle lapsed for 10 days showed an increase of histidine, valine and taurine, and a slight decrease of alanine, leucine and glycine. The dark muscle lapsed for 9 days shelved an increase of taurine, phenylalanine and glycine, and a decrease of histidine, alanine and serine.

  • Accumulating evidence suggests that Alzheimer's disease (AD) is not only caused by accumulation of abnormal proteins, including amyloid and tau, but is also closely associated with abnormalities in the microvascular environment including the blood-brain barrier (BBB), both of which lead to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. Application of in vivo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has recently increased to assess BBB permeability in AD and related diseases. Here, we provide a narrative review of BBB permeability-related pathology in Alzheimer dementia and recent MRI research on BBB permeability changes in AD and related diseases. Furthermore, we briefly introduce the measurement of BBB permeability using MRI and its methodological issues.

  • Sweetener is one of the additives that makes you feel sweet. Artificial sweeteners and sugar are typical examples, and sweetness proteins with sweetness characteristics have been widely studied. These studies elucidated the transformation lettuce cells with Agrobacterium method for stable production of natural sweet proteins, brazzein, thaumatin, and miraculin. In this paper, we report use of a plant expression system for production of sweet proteins. A synthetic gene encoding sweet proteins was placed under the control of constitutive promoters and transferred to lettuce. High and genetically stable expression of sweetener was confirmed in leaves by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis. Sweet proteins expressed in transgenic lettuce had sweetness-inducing activity. Results demonstrate recombinant sweet proteins correctly processed in transgenic lettuce plants, and that this production system could be a viable alternative to production from the native plant.
