Pnragonimus westermnni, the lung fluke, is known to migrate to the pulmonary tissue of mammalian hosts and causes pathological changes in the lungs. An acidic thiol-dependent proteinase with a molecular weight of approximately 20,000 daltons was purified to homogeneity using ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration chromatography. On SDS-PAGE, the molecular weight of the enzyme was 17,500 daltons. Isoelectric point was 6.45. The enzyme was similar to the acidic cysteine proteinase of vertebrates in the properties of pH optimum, substrate specificity and inhibitor sensitivity. Enzymatic activity was stable at pH 5.5 for at least two days when stored at 4℃. The cysteine proteinase was capable of degrading collagen and hemoglobin. Sera of patients with paragonimiasis and mice infected with R westermani reacted in immunoblots with the partially purified proteinase. This result suggested that the cysteine proteinase of P. westermnni may play a role in migration in tissues, and in acquisition of nutrients by parasites from the host. It is also potentially an antigen for the serodiagnosis of paragonimiasis.

Pseudogobio esocinus의 심장, 신장 및 간 조직은 하부단위체 C를 함유하는 젖산수소이탈효소를 갖고 있음이 확인되었다. 하부단위체 A 및 B에 대한 유전자들의 조직 발현은 다른 포유동물의 것과 유사하였으며 분자량은 140,000 정도로 추정되었다. Oxamate gel을 사용한 chromatography결과 A4 동위효소는 NAD+보다는 column buffer에 의해 용출되었다. B4 동위효소는 CM-Sepharose column을 사용하여 부붙 정제되었다. B4 동위효소는 물론 A4 동위효소도 고농도의 Pyruvate에 의해 저해되었다. A4 동위효소의 affinity chromatography 상 행동과 Pyruvate 저해 정도로 보아 A4 등위효소는 B4 동위효소 두 역학적으로 유사하다고 사료된다. P. esainus A4 동위효소에 대한 항체는 mouse A4 등위효소와 반응하지만 동종의 B4 동위 효소와는 반응하지 않는 특성으로 보아 하부단위체 B는 진화과정에서 보존성이 낮은 것으로 사료된다. Three tissues of heart, kidney and liver of a primitive cvprinid Pseudogobio esocinus were found to have lactate dehydrogenase isozyme(5) containing subunit C. Tissue expressions of genes for subunits A and B were similar to those of mammalian species. Molecular weight of the isozymes were estimated to be 140,000 approximately. Affinity chromatography of the isozymes on the immobilized oxamate gel revealed that A4 isozyme was not elected in NAD+ but in column buffer. B4 isozune was isozpnatically purified by subjecting kidney extract to a CM-Sepharose column. Ae isozvme as well as B4 isozvme was inhibited by high concentrations of pyruvate. The affinity chromatographic behavior and susceptibility to pyruvate inhibition of the A4 isorpne suggest that A4 isozwne is similar to B4 isozyme kinetically. Antibodies against p. esocinus A4 isogyme reacted with mouse At isozyme but not with p. esocinus B4 isogyme, reflecting that subunit B is less conservative in its evolution.

본 연구에서는 kiwifruit 과육 속에 들어 있는 단백질분해효소의 gelatin분해활성을 조사하고 그 산업적 방안을 검토하였다. Kiwifruit 과육에서 3개의 단백질분해효소의 활성 밴드(PI, PII, PIII)가 관찰되었다. 단백질분해효소 PI은 220 kD, PII는 51 kD, PIII는 26 kD에 해당하는 것으로 추정할 수 있었다. 이들 단백질분해효소 PI, PII, PIII는 모두 pH 2.0~5.0 범위에서 높은 활성을 보였으며 pH 4.0에서 가장 높게 나타났다. 이들 단백질분해효소 PI, PII, PIII는 모두 cysteine proteinase 저해제인 E-64와 iodoacetate에 의해서 저해되었으며, cysteine proteinase를 촉진하는 DTT, cysteine 및 $\beta$-mercaptoethanol에 의해서 활성이 증가하였다. 그 중 단백질분해효소 PIII는 분자량과 효소의 특성으로 보아 actinidin (EC 3.4.22.14)과 동일한 것으로 판단되었다. 단백질분해효소 PI, PII, PIII는 모두 $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$과 $Mn^{2+}$에 의해 촉진되었으며, $Zn^{2+}$과 Hg$^{2+}$에 의해 완전히 저해되는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만, Co$^{2+}$, Cu$^{2+}$, $Al^{3+}$ , Fe$^{3+}$ 등 금속이온의 영향은 다소 다르게 나타났다. Kiwifruit 과육의 단백질분해효소 PI, PII, PIII 중에서 PI과 PII는 온도가 증가함에 따라 활성이 점차 낮아졌으나 PIII는 비교적 안정한 것으로 조사되었다. 특히, PIII는 5$0^{\circ}C$ 이내의 범위에서 48시간 경과시에도 75% 이상의 활성을 보여 이 범위의 온도에서는 상당 시간 동안 안정한 것으로 나타났다. 단백질분해효소의 산업적 가치를 고려해 볼 때 우선적으로 넓은 기질특이성과 열안정성이 높아야 한다. Kiwifruit에서 추출한 단백질분해효소는 4$0^{\circ}C$ 전후에서 최대의 활성을 보이고, 고온에서도 상당 시간 비교적 안정한 특성을 보여 식품제조, 식육연화 등 식품산업 분야에서의 활용가능성이 높을 것으로 보이며, 나아가 단백질이 갖는 식품학적 기능성을 높이는 데에도 사용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In the present report, a p[ossibility of the interaction fo Ser-33 and Asp-112 residues in folding of tryptophan synthase $\alpha$ subunit was explored by examining the effect of single or double substitution of these residues on folding of $\alpha$ subunit in E. coli. $\alpha$ subunit of which Ser-33 was substituted with Leu (SL33) was accumulated as insoluble aggregate form, when overproduced in E. coli, whereas $\alpha$ subunit of which Asp-112 was replaced by Asn (DN112) or Gly (DG112) was accumulated as soluble form to the similar extent as wild type $\alpha$ subunit was. When these alterations were combined into one protein, the synergistic effect of residues 33 and 112 on the amount of aggregate form was shown. The amount of doubly altered SL33/DG112 $\alpha$ subunit as aggregate form was increased 5-13 fold that of SL33 $\alpha$ subunit, and the amount of SL33/DG112 $\alpha$ subunit as aggregate form was decreased 3-4 fold that of SL33 $\alpha$ subunit. Aggregates are derived from the specific association of partially folded or unassembled subunits in the folding process. Therefore, this result suggests that residues 33 and 112 of $\alpha$ subunit may unteract during the folding of this enzyme in E. coli.

This study was conducted in order to develop slaughterhouse rumen content (SRC) as a potential feed additive. The moisture content of SRC can reach 80%, and therefore an appropriate dewatering process is required before it can be used. In this study, the effects of heating temperature, heating time, and filler content during the dewatering process on the activity of various enzymes in SRC were investigated. The Box-Behnken experimental design was employed, involving a total of 45 experimental runs, consisting of three variables (heating time, heating temperature, and filler content) with three levels per variable (12, 30 and 48 hr; 60, 75 and $90^{\circ}C$; 12, 22.5 and 33% for heating time, heating temperature, and filler content, respectively). For enzyme activities, xylanase, cellulase, and amylase were examined, and the results were subjected to an analysis of variance. Heating time, heating temperature and filler content had significant effects on the activity of each enzyme (p<0.05). Cellulase and amylase activities decreased (p<0.05) at elevated heating temperatures, whereas xylanase was reasonably stable around $90^{\circ}C$. The activities of all enzymes decreased (p<0.05) with increased heating time. Optimum filler contents for xylanase, cellulase, and amylase activities were 22.5, 12 and 33%, respectively. However, optimum conditions for all variables that simultaneously maximize the activity of all three enzymes could not be ascertained in this study. Nevertheless, the results from the current study can be useful as basic information for the development of SRC as a feed additive enriched with improved major enzymes for livestock feed digestion.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the physiochemical properties of Doenjang was fermented by added with fungi and protease. The moisture content and pH of Doenjang added with protease (WP) were lower than those of control w/o protease while the contents of titratable acidity, reducing sugar, and amino-type nitrogen in WP were higher than control. The ${\alpha}$-amylase activities of Doenjang added with single and mixed Protease B were the highest at 4 weeks of fermentation period and protease activity of WP was about 4 times higher than that of control. The 4-9 kinds of free amino acids (proline, isoleucine, leucine, and phenylalanine etc.) in WP was increased in comparison with control. The DPPH radical scavenging activity and total polyphenol content were higher in WP than control. Total aerobic bacterial and fungal numbers were decreased depending on fermentation time regardless of addition of protease. In conclusion, the protease can be used as additives improving the quality and taste of fermented Doenjang.

All vertebrates other than lampreys exhibit multiple loci encoding lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27,LDH). From the result shown by cellulose acetate and starch gel electrophoresis, the lampreys were-reported to have only one isozyme. However in our results the LDH of skeletal muscle, heart and kidney in Lampetra japonica were separated into three isozymes and that of liver was separated into two isozymes by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The LDH of skeletal muscle and heart were separated into four isozymes and that of liver was separated into two isozymes by polyacrylamide gel isoelectric focusing (PAGlEF). The LDH of skeletal muscle were separated into four isozymes through the chromatofocusing. The molecular weight of LDH isozymes in skeletal muscle was approximately estimated to be 140,000 by Sephadex G-200 gel filtration. The LDH isozymes of skeletal muscle, heart and liver were inhibited by pyruvate to the nearly similar degree. And the degree of inhibition by pyruvate showed the value between LDH A$_4$and LDH B$_4$isozyme. And the LDH isozymes in heart, liver and skeletal muscle were thermostable. The results mentioned above indicate that the LDH isozyme in lamprey (Lampetra japonica) has not one isozyme but isozymes. And it is also found out that the two structures of their subunits are similar each others.

To clarify the correlation of the proteinase activity with pathogenicity of Clonorrhis sinensis, the proteinase activity either in excretory-secretory products (ESP) or in crude extracts of adult C. sinensis was examined. Substrate gel electrophoresis of the ESP and crude extracts revealed four distinct enzyme bands, which were differently inhibited by the specific proteinase inhibitors. The proteinase of the ESP with molecular mass of 24 kDa, was purified 23-fold with 14.5% yield by spectra gel ACA 44 gel filtration. It exhibited optimal pH at 7.5 in sodium phosphate (0.1 M). Its activity was inhibited specifically by N-ethylmaleimide (NEMI and antipain whereas potentiated 1.9 folds in the presence of 5 mM dithiothreitol (DTT). Cytotoxicity of the proteinase increased in a dose- dependent manner up to 120 ㎍/ml while reduced by NEM and antipain, indicating that cysteine proteinase was responsible for the cytotoxicity. This result shows that the 24 kDa cysteine proteinase is deeply correlated with the pathogenicity of C. sinensis infection.

이번 연구는 아플라톡신 $B_1(AFB_2)$의 독성이 오리의 생산성, 체내 기관, 간 효소 활성도, 외관상 소화율, 영양소 소화율에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위한 것이다. 1일령의 육용오리 90마리를 3개의 처리군으로 나눠 10마리씩 펜에서 사육하였다. 그룹1은 일반 사료를 급여하였고, 그룹 2와 3은 각각 아플라톡신 $20{\mu}g/kg$, $40{\mu}g/kg$이 포함된 오염된 쌀을 섞어 6주 동안 급여하였다. 그 결과 아플라톡신에 오염된 사료를 섭취한 그룹의 증체량과 사료 섭취량이 감소하였고, 사료요구률(feed to gain ratio), 간, 신장, 췌장의 무게가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 알라닌 아미노전이효소(ALT, serum alanine aminotransferase)와 혈중 아스파라진산 아미노전이효소(AST, aspartate aminotransferase)의 활성도도 아플라톡신 오염 그룹에서 유의성을 보이며 높았다. 아플라톡신 오염 그룹의 오리들의 십이지장에서 채취한 단백질 분해효소, 키모트립신, 트립신(이자액에서 분비되는 단백질 분해효소), 전분 가수 분해효소 등 소화효소의 활성도가 증가한 반면, 조단백질의 외관상 소화율은 유의성있게 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이는 아플라톡신에 오염된 사료로가 오리의 생산성과 영양소의 외관상 소화율을 감소시키고 십이지장 내용물의 소화효소활성을 변화시킨다고 볼 수 있다.
