자연발효된 청국장으로부터 혈전용해활성을 가지는 세균 Bacillus licheniformis HK-12를 농화분리하여, 배양기간 동안 생산된 혈전용해활성을 가지는 단백질에 대해 프로테옴 분석을 실시하였다. B. licheniformis HK-12를 액체 영양배지에 접종하여 얻어진 배양상등액을 피브린 평판법(fibrin plate method)을 사용하여 효소활성을 측정하였다. 그 결과, HK-12의 혈전용해 활성은 대조구인 plasmin보다 약 2.3배정도 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 효소는 배양상등액을 ammonium sulfate 침전, DEAE-cellulose chromatography, Sephadex chromatography 등을 수행하여 분리정제하였으며, 정제된 혈전용해효소의 분자량은 SDS-PAGE를 통해 약 23 kDa로 측정되었다. 배양시간에 따른 HK-6의 세포외 단백질의 변화를 2-D PAGE 분석을 통하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 36시간배양 후에 가장 현저하게 유도된 spot #1을 분리하였으며, MALDI-TOF MS를 이용하여 단백질 동정을 실시한 결과, 유도된 단백질의 아미노산 서열은 $^1EKKIEKYREEEORLK^{15}$으로서, serine protein kinase (PrkA) (AAU22526)로 확인되었다.

One-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (1D SDS-PAGE) was used to determine whether it would provide improved resolving power of hordein proteins concomitant with improved identification of Korean barley cultivars and germplams. This system gave rapid and reproducible separations of hordein polypeptides. Total fourteen of clear and easily scorable subunits were identified in Korean barley cultivars and germplasms and their polymorphic constitutions could provide biochemical genetic information in progeny analysis and endosperm quality improvement in barley breeding programs. Each hordein polypeptides residing in B, C, and D hordein pattern designations were scored to prepare a cultivar catalogue of protein patterns. On the basis of this character, 7 hordein polypeptide patterns were constructed from 108 barley cultivars and experimental lines. The molecular weight of hordein subunits in Korean barley cultivars and experimental lines varied in the range of 98 to 48 kDa. In contrast, less polymorphic hordein polypeptides were found in the low protein barley lines including malting barleys than those found in Korean barley cultivars and experimental lines.

The disassembly of Chl-protein complexes during dark-induced senescence (DIS) was investigated using detached third and fourthleaves of 21$\pm$1 day-old Arabidopsis thaliana. Although Chl content decreased linearly after 1 d, a significant decrease of photochemical effeciency (Fv/Fm) was observed after 2 d. In experiments using native green gel electrophoresis of Chl-protein complexes combined with additional two-dimensional SDS-PAGE analysis, we could observe the degradation of both photosystems after 2 d. Although light-harvesting complex(LHC) for PSI (LHCI) was degraded first in PSI complex, small PSII apoproteins including CP47/CP43 and D1/D2 apoproteins were degraded first in PSII complexes. LHC for PSII (LHCII) trimers were stable until 4 d. The level of LHCII monomers was increased until 3 and decreased thereafter, resulting in the increase of free pigments. These results suggest that the disassembly process of PSI is different from that of PSII.

In order to study the reaction behavior of bovine holo- and apo-$\alpha$-lactalbumin ($\alpha$-La) during heat treatment at 65~10$0^{\circ}C$, the samples were analysed by first (ID)-and second-dimensional (2D) native-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Native-PAGE) and sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS)-PAGE. When bolo-$\alpha$-La or apo- $\alpha$ -La were heated, they formed non-native, monomers, dimers and trimers. The apo-$\alpha$-La was more heat-sensitive than holo-$\alpha$-La. The monomers seemed to have the same composition as the native $\alpha$-La, but many of the disulfide bonds could be non-native.

This study was conducted to evaluate the possible application of 2 D-SDS-PAGE (2 DE)-based proteome analysis techniques to the assessment of extreme proteolysis in postmortem skeletal muscle. Eight Hanwoo longissimus muscles were incubated immediately after slaughter for 24 h at 5$^{\circ}C$, 15$^{\circ}C$ or 36$^{\circ}C$. Warner Bratzler (WB)-shear force and ultrastructural configuration were determined at 24 h, and rate of proteolysis to 24 h was determined by 1 D-SDS-PAGE (1 DE) and 2 DE. In addition, tentative protein identification was performed from peptide mass fingerprints of MALDI-ToF analysis of major protein groups on 2 DE profiles. The result showed that although ultrastructural configuration was similar between the 5$^{\circ}C$ and 36$^{\circ}C$ treatments, meat at 5$^{\circ}C$ had higher WBshear force (approximately 5 kg greater). A higher rate of protein degradation at 36$^{\circ}C$ was observed based on Troponin-T degradation, 1 DE, and 2 DE analysis. This indicates that proteolysis during the early postmortem period was a significant determinant of shear force at 24 h. Little difference in proteolysis between 5$^{\circ}C$ and 15$^{\circ}C$ treatments was found based on classic 1 DE profile assessment. Meanwhile, considerable differences in the 2 DE profiles between the two treatments were revealed, with substantially higher rate of proteolysis at 15$^{\circ}C$ compared to 5$^{\circ}C$. Nuclease treatment improved 2 DE profile resolution. 400 ${\mu}$g and 600 ${\mu}$g of sample loading appeared to be appropriate for 24 cm pH 3-10 and pH 5-7 IPG strips, respectively. Protein detection and quantification of the 5$^{\circ}C$, 15$^{\circ}C$ and 36$^{\circ}C$ 2 DE profiles revealed 78, 163 and 232 protein spots respectively that were differentially modified in terms of their electrophoretic properties between approximately pI 5.3-7.7 with the molecular weight range of approximately 71-12 kDa. The current results demonstrated that 2 DE was a superior tool to 1 DE for characterising proteolysis in postmortem skeletal muscle.

Bacillus stearothermophilus No.236 xylB 유전자가 삽입된 재조합 플라스미드 pKMG12를 가지고 있는 E. coli HB101 균주를 이용하여 B. stearothermophilus $\beta$-xylosidase B을 생산, 정제하고 효소의 일반특성을 조사하였다. Ammonuim sulfate 분획, DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B 이온 교환 크로마토그래피, Sephacryl S-200 및 Superdex 200HR 젤 크로마토그래피의 과정을 거쳐 정제하였으며 정제된 효소는 SDS-PAGE 및 zymogram 실험을 통해 $\beta$-xylosidase B의 단백질임을 확인하였다. 정제 $\beta$-xylosidase B는 반응액의 수소이온 농도와 온도에 매우 민감하며 최적 활성 pH 및 온도는 각각 pH 6.5와 $50^{\circ}C$로 결정되었다. $\beta$-Xylosidase 활성은 1 mM $Mn^{2+}$ 첨가에 의해 약 35% 활성화됨을 보였으나 $Ag^{+}$, $Cu^{2+}$ 및 $Hg^{2+}$ 등의 중금속이온의 존재하에서는 거의 완전한 저해를 나타내었다. 또한 본 효소는 비록 높지는 않으나 $\alpha$-arabinofuranosidase 활성도 가지고 있어 B. stearothermophilus No 236의 $\beta$-xylosidase A 효소 보다 최소한 arabinoxylan의 분해에 있어서 더 우수한 효소로 판단되며 o-nitrophenyl-$\beta$-D-xylopyranoside 기질에 대한 $K_{m}$ 값과 $V_{max}$ 값은 각각 6.43 mM과 $1.45\mu$mole/min 로 계산되었다. 한편, $\beta$-xylosidase B 분자량은 gel 여과법으로는 약 160 kDa, 그리고 SDS-PAGE에 의해서는 약 54 kDa로 측정되어 본 효소는 trimer의 구조를 가지고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

환경 오염원으로서 폭약 hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine(RDX)에 대한 RDX 분해세균 Pseudomonas sp. HK-6의 세포반응과 형태변화에 대하여 조사하였다. 아치사조건의 RDX농도와 노출시간에 따른 균주 HK-6의 생존율을 분석한 결과, 이 세균의 생존율은 스트레스 충격 단백질의 생성과 비례하였다. 총세포 지방산 조성분석에서 균주 HK-6는 trypticase soy agar(TSA)에서 자랄 때 보다 RDX배지에서 자랄 때 여러 가지 종류의 지방산이 생성되거나 사라지는 것이 밝혀졌다. Anti-DnaK와 anti-GroEL을 이용하여 SDS-PAGE와 Western blot을 통한 분석으로 균주 HK-6는 70 kDa DanK와 60 kDa GroEL을 포함하는 몇가지 스트레스 충격단백질을 생성하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. RDX에 노출된 HK-6배양에서 수용성 단백질 분획에 대하여 2-D PAGE를 실시하였으며, pH 3에서 pH 10 범위에서 약 300 spots가 silver로 염색된 gel상에서 관찰되었다. 그 결과, RDX에 대한 반응으로 10여개의 spots가 현저히 유도 발현되었다. RDX(0.135mM, 12시간)에 노출된 세포는 구멍이 나타나고 표면의 불규칙적인 형태 변화가 일어나 죽게되는 것이 주사 전자현미경을 통하여 관찰되었다.

An exoinulinase (${\beta}-D-fructofuranosidase$) gene was cloned by chromosome walking along the upstream region of the endoinulinase gene of Pseudomonas mucidolens isolated from soil. the exoinulinase gene consisted of an ORF of 0,506 bp encoding a polypeptide of 501 amino acids with a deduced molecular weight of 55,000. The exoinulinase produced by the recombinant Escherichia coli $DH5{\alpha}$ strain was also purified to homogeneity as determined by SDS-PAGE and a zymogram. The molecular weight of the purified exoinulinase according to both SDS-PAGE and gel filtration matched the deduced molecular weight of the protein described above, thereby indicating that the native form of the exoinulinase was a monomer. The purified enzyme hydrolyzed activity value of 2.0. Furthermore, no inulo-oligomers were liberated from the inulin substrate in the enzymatic reaction mixtures incubated for 90 min at $55^{\circ}C$. Taken together, these results indicate that the purified ${\beta}-D-fructofuranosidase$ was an exoinulinase. The pH and temperature optima of the exoinulinase were pH 6.0 and $55^{\circ}C$, respectively. the enzymehad no apparent requirement for a cofactor, and its activity was completely inactivated by $Ag^{+},{\;}Hg^{2+},{\;}and{\;}Zn^{2+}$. Kinetic experiments gave $K_m,{\;}V_{max},{\;}and{\;}K_{cat}$ values for inulin of 11.5 mM, 18 nM/s, and $72{\;}s^{-1}$, respectively. the exoinulinase was fairly stable in broad pH conditions (pH 5-9), and at pH 6.0 it showed a residual activity of about 70% after 4 h incubation at $55^{\circ}C$.

Single-chain variable fragment (scFv) is a fusion protein of the variable regions of the heavy (VH) and light (VL) chains of immunoglobulin, connected with a short linker peptide of 10 to about 20 amino acids. In this study, the scFv of a monoclonal antibody against the third domain of human CD4 was cloned from OKT4 hybridoma cells using the phage display technique and produced in E. coli. The expression, production, and purification of anti-CD4 scFv were tested using SDS-PAGE and Western blot, and the specificity of anti-CD4 scFv was examined using ELISA. A 31 kDa recombinant anti-CD4 scFv was expressed and produced in bacteria, which was confirmed by SDS-PAGE and Western blot assays. Sequence analysis proved the ScFv structure of the construct. It was able to bind to CD4 in quality ELISA assay. The canonical structure of anti-CD4 scFv antibody was obtained using the SWISS_MODEL bioinformatics tool for comparing with the scFv general structure. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report for generating scFv against human CD4 antigen. Engineered anti-CD4 scFv could be used in immunological studies, including fluorochrome conjugation, bispecific antibody production, bifunctional protein synthesis, and other genetic engineering manipulations. Since the binding site of our product is domain 3 (D3) of the CD4 molecule and different from the CD4 immunological main domain, including D1 and D2, further studies are needed to evaluate the anti-CD4 scFv potential for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
