BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Jerusalem artichoke has inhibitory activity against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and decreases fasting serum glucose levels, which may be related to its fructan content. The biological activity of fructan can be influenced by the degree of polymerization. Thus, in this study, the inhibitory effects of original and fermented purple Jerusalem artichoke (PJA) on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase were compared in vitro. Additionally, the anti-diabetes effect of Lactobacillus plantarum-fermented PJA (LJA) was studied in a non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus animal model (C57BIKsJ db/db). MATERIALS/METHODS: The water extract of PJA was fermented by L. plantarum, and two strains of Bacillus subtilis to compare their anti-${\alpha}$-glucosidase activities in vitro by ${\alpha}$-glucosidase assays. The anti-diabetes effect of LJA was studied in a non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus animal model (C57BIKsJ db/db) for seven weeks. During the experiment, food intake, body weight, and fasting blood glucose were measured every week. At the end of the treatment period, several diabetic parameters and the intestinal ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity were measured. RESULTS: The LJA showed the highest ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity in vitro. In the in vivo study, it resulted in a significantly lower blood glucose concentration than the control. Serum insulin and HDL cholesterol levels were significantly higher and the concentrations of triglycerides, non-esterified fatty acids, and total cholesterol were significant lower in mice treated with LJA after seven weeks. In addition, the intestinal ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity was partially inhibited. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggested that LJA regulates blood glucose and has potential use as a dietary supplement.

Cellulomonas sp.YE-5가 생산하는 cellulase를 분리, 정제하여 효소의 특성을 알아보았다. Avicelase, CMCase, $\beta$-glucosidase의 반응 최적온도은 각각 40, 45, $40^{\circ}C$이었고, 반은 최적 pH는 5.5, 6.0 그리고 6.0이었다. 효소의 열안정성은 30~$70^{\circ}C$에서 6시간 처리하였을 때 avicelase와 $\beta$-glucosidase는 $50^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 거의 실활하였고, CMCase는 $50^{\circ}C$에서 약 40%의 활성을 유지하였다. 효소의 안정성에 미치는 pH의 영향은 $25^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 처리하였을 때 avicelase와 CMCase는 PH 5.0~9.0 사이에서 안정하였으며, $\beta$-glucosidase는 pH 5.0~8.0 사이에서 안정하였다.

Cellulose 분해에 관련된 $\beta$-Glucosidase 효소 활성의 특성 파악을 위하여 송이균사(Tricholoma matsutake DGUM 26001)의 액체 배양시 세포외로 분비되는 $\beta$-Glucosidase 효소를 부분정제하여 그 특성을 조사하였다. 효소 활성에 미치는 적정 온도는 55-$70^{\circ}C$이었고 최적 온도는 $65^{\circ}C$이었다. 적정 효소활성에 영향을 주는 적정 pH는 3.0-5.0 범위였으며 최적 pH는 4.0이었다. Salicin을 기질로 최적 조건하에서 $\beta$-Glucosidase 효소의 비활성도는 18.7 unit/mg protein이었다. 열안정성은 $60^{\circ}C$이하의 온도에 60분간 열처리시 약 90%이상의 효소활성을 유지하였다. $Fe^{++}$이온은 효소활성을 촉진하였으나, $Hg^{++}$ 및 $Cu^{++}$이온은 효소활성을 매우 억제하였다. Salicin에 대한 효소활성을 100으로 하였을 때, cellobiose는 48.6%의 상대적 효소활성을 나타내었으며, cellobiose에 대한 Km값 및 Vmax값은 각각 0.12mM과 0.02umol/min었다.

Mulberry leaves containing 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) have been recognized as a potentially important source for prevent or treat hyperglycemia. However, DNJ content of natural mulberry leaf are as low as 0.1%. Thus, the most effective method for increasing ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity with the DNJ high-production is needed. In this study, we investigated the influence of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity according to different pH values (6-9) and inoculation amounts (0.1-0.5%) when Bacillus subtilis cultured on mulberry leaf powder media. We confirmed that ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity was difference according to culture conditions of different pH values, inoculation amounts, and fermentation times. The results of mulberry leaf fermentation according to pH values and inoculation amounts were shown that the optimal conditions for ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity were defined as pH 7 and 9, inoculation amount 0.4%, and incubation until 2 to 4 days. These results can be provided a basic data for the optimal culture conditions increasing ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity from mulberry leaf fermentation.

For biotechnological production of high-valued ${\beta}-{\text\tiny{D}}$-hexyl glucoside, the catalytic properties of Hanseniaspora thailandica BC9 ${\beta}$-glucosidase purified from the periplasmic fraction were studied, and the transglycosylation activity for the production of ${\beta}-{\text\tiny{D}}$-hexyl glucoside was optimized. The constitutive BC9 ${\beta}$-glucosidase exhibited maximum specific activity at pH 6.0 and $40^{\circ}C$, and the activity of BC9 ${\beta}$-glucosidase was not significantly inhibited by various metal ions. BC9 ${\beta}$-glucosidase did not show a significant activity of cellobiose hydrolysis, but the activity was rather enhanced in the presence of sucrose and medium-chain alcohols. BC9 ${\beta}$-glucosidase exhibited enhanced production of ${\beta}-{\text\tiny{D}}$-hexyl glucoside in the presence of DMSO, and 62% of ${\beta}-{\text\tiny{D}}$-hexyl glucoside conversion was recorded in 4 h in the presence of 5% 1-hexanol and 15% DMSO.

Extracellular ${\alpha}$-glucosidase was purified to homogeneity from moderately thermophilic Bacillus sp. DG0303. The thermostable ${\alpha}$-glucosidase was purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation, ion-exchange chromatography, preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), and electroelution. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be 60 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The optimum temperature for the action of the enzyme was at $60^{\circ}C$. It had a half-life of 35 min at $60^{\circ}C$. The enzyme was stable at the pH range of 4.5~7.0 and had an optimum pH at 5.0. The enzyme preparation did not require any metal ion for activity. The thermostable ${\alpha}$-glucosidase hydrolyzed the ${\alpha}$-1,6-linkages in isomaltose, isomaltotriose, and panose, and had little or no activity with maltooligosaccharides and other polysaccharides. The $K_m$ (mM) for p-nitrophenyl-${\alpha}$-D-glucopyranoside (pNPG), panose, isomaltose, and isomaltotriose were 4.6, 4.7, 40.8, and 3.7 and the $V_{max}$(${\mu}mol{\cdot}min^-1$$mg^-1$) for those substrates were 5629, 1669, 3410, and 1827, respectively. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme was MERVWWKKAV. Based on its substrate specificity and catalytic properties, the enzyme has been assigned to be an oligo-1,6-glucosidase.

Trichoderma koningii ATCC 26113에서 분비되는 효소인 $\beta$-glucosidase를 cellobiose, sophorose, laminaribiose 및 gentiobiose 등의 기질과 반응시킨 후 효소의 transglycosylation 반응 산물을 분석하였다. 각각의 기질로부터 생성된 이당체(dimer)들을 HPLC로 분리하고 $^(1)H$-NMR spectroscopy를 통하여 분석하였다. Cellobiose를 기질로 사용하여 효소와 반응시켰을 때 그 산물에는 laminaribiose, sophorose 및 gentiobiose가 포함되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. Laminaribiose, sophorose 및 gentiobiose를 기질로 사용하였을 경우에 효소는 transglycosylation 반응을 통하여 새로운 $\beta$-glycosidic 결합을 갖는 이당체들을 생성하였다. 효소반응에 의하여 누적되는 이당체의 양은 생성속도보다는 분해속도에 의하여 결정되는 것으로 나타났다.

This study was designed to investigate the inhibitory effects of Polyopes lancifolia extract (PLE) on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity, ${\alpha}$-amylase activitiy, and postprandial hyperglycemia in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice. The results of this study revealed a marked inhibitory effect of PLE on ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase activities. The $IC_{50}s$ of PLE against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase were 0.20 mg/mL and 0.35 mg/mL, respectively. PLE was a more effective inhibitor of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase activities than acarbose, the positive control. The postprandial blood glucose levels of STZ-induced diabetic mice were significantly lower in the PLE treated group than in the control group. Moreover, PLE administration was associated with a decreased area under the curve for the glucose response in diabetic mice. These results indicate that PLE may be a potent inhibitor of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase and ${\alpha}$-amylase activities and may suppress postprandial hyperglycemia.
