폐홉충의 생리식염수 추출액을 항원으로 효소면역측정 법을 실시하여 특이 IgG항체 황성도를 측정하면 폐홉충중 현증 환자를 민감하고도 특이하게 감별할 수 있다. 진단에 사용하는 생리식염수 추출액은 조항원(조항원)므로 그 구성단백질중 환자 혈청내 특이항체와 반응하는 단백질항원이 어느 것인지에 패해서는 아직도 논란의 대상이 되고 있다. 조항원 중 특이항원을 정확히 판단하면 드물게 나타나는 교차반응의 기전을 이해하는데에도 도움이 될 분만 아니라 종특이 단일 단백질 항원을 제작할 수 있게 하는 데에도 기초가 된다. 이 연구는 폐홉충 성충의 생리식염수 추출액 중 폐홉충중 환자 혈청과 반응하는 단백질 분최을 관찰하기 위하 여 실시하였다. 개에 실험적으로 감염시킨지 13주째에 얻은 폐흡충 성충의 생리 식염수 추출액을 10∼15% linear gradient gel에서 환원조건하의 SDS-PAGE론 실시하였다. Coomassie염색결과 단백질 대(대) 15개를 판별할 수 있었고 그 분자량은 80, 51, 46, 45, 30, 25, 23, 21, 19, 16.5, 15.5, 14.3, 13. 12 및 10 hDa이었다. 그중 23, 16.5, 14.3, 13, 12 및 10 kDa가·진하게 염색되는 주(주) 단백질대이었다. 활동성 폐흡충증으로 확진한 환자 20명의 혈청을 효소면역전기영동이척법(immunoblot)으로 분리된 단백질대 에 반응시켰을 때에 46, 30및 23 kDa단백질에 가장 가장 강하게 반응하였다. 그 중에서도 30 kDa는 가장 많 은 환자 혈청과 반응하였고 가장 강한 반응이 나타났다. 그리고 46 kDa 및 23 kDa에서도 강한 반응이 있었다.

The solubilization and proteolytic process of $\delta $-endotoxin was analvsed to compare the biochemical property of the toxin isolated from B. thuringiensis subsp. sotto. The purified crystals were dissolved in 50 mM carbonate buffer containing 10 mM dithiothreitol at pH 10 for various times. The electrophoretic pattern showed that a rapid disappearance of 138 kDa protein band. This disappearance of protein with high molecular weight was accompanied by the appearance of new protein fragment with 104 kDa, 60 kDa, and 25 kDa. For proteolvtic processing, the soluble crystals were digested with trypsin for various times. The soluble crystal protein of 104 kDa was completely disappeared. However, the protein fragment of 60 kDa and 25 kDa still remained after complete proteolysis. The comparative immunoblot analysis showed that the antiserum against intact crystals showed strong immunoreactivity to the homologous inclusion protein of 138 kDa, 104 kDa, and 25 kDa, and to the intact spores of 221 kDa and 138 kDa, but not to the vegetative cell homogenate. The sera against crystals and spores had no immunoreactivity to the vegetative cell homogenate.

To understand the role of protein kinase C (PKC) in the regulation of chondrogenesis, we examined proteins which are phosphorylated by PKC. Stage 23/24 chick embryo wing mesenchymes were micromass-cultured to induce chondrogenesis and cell extracts were phosphorylated in a condition that activates PKC. Several proteins including 63 and 66 kDa proteins were phosphorylated. The 66 kDa protein was phosphorylated only in the presence of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and phosphatidylserine CPS), and the phosphorylation was almost completely diminished by bisindolylmaleimide, a PKC inhibitor. In addition, partially purified PKC increased the phosphorylation of the 66 kDa protein. Treatment of cultures with lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) promoted chondrogenesis and phosphorylation of 66 kDa protein, while PMA and thymeleatoxin inhibited both of the two events. Our results suggest that the 66 kDa protein is a putative substrate of PKC, and phosphorylation of the 66 kDa protein, probably by $PKC\alpha$ is required for chondrogenesis.

In order to observe the localization of the specific antigenic protein in the tissue of Paragonimus westermani metacercaria, immunogoldlabeling method was applied using IgG of the dog which were infected with Paragonimus westermani metacercaria and IgG of rabbits which were immunized with purified 23 kDa protein from metacercaria of the Paragenimus westermani. The metacercaria worm tissues obtained from Cambaroides similis were embedded in Lowicryl HM20 medium, treated with infected and immunized IgG and protein A gold complex (particle size; 12 nm) and observed by electron microscope. In the tissue antigen of Paragonimus westermani metacercaria, the content of excretory bladder which was highly dense electron density was constituted in the excretory bladder of the parenchymal tissue. In the metacercaria tissues antigen reacted with IgG of infected dog. Labeled gold particles distributed on the interstitial matrix of parenchymal cells, fibrous granules of parenchymal tissue and the content of excretory bladder. High antigenicity was observed on content of excretory bladder. It was found to be specifically distributed at the tissue of Paragonimus westermani metacercaria. In the tissues antigen reacted with IgG of immunized rabbit. Labeled gold particles randomly distributed on the interstitial matrix and fibrous granules of parenchymal tissue but in the content of excretory bladder of Paragonimus westermani metacercaria, gold particles were richly labeled. Therefore, the 23 kDa protein contained with Paragonimus westermani metacercaria was found protein which was specifically constituted at the content of excretory bladder of Paragonimum westermani metacercaria. The 23 kDa protein was commonly contained from of Paragonimus westermani metacercaria to adult and showed strong antigenicity against the immunized and infected IgG.

To investigate the svnthyesis of muscle proteins during differentiation of chicken myoblast, cvtosolic and membrane fractions were used for both sodium dodecvl sulfate polvcrylamide gel eBectrophoresis and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. An extensive cell fusion was observed in 4 day culture. In the protein pattern of the cvtosolic fraction from SDS-PAGE. several protein bands including 250 kDa and 46 kDa showed remarkable changes during culture. the protein of 46 kDa was the most prominent one ann its optical density was the highest in 5 day culture (OD = 1.30). In the membrane fraction, band of 19.8 kDa showed the highest absorbance with 0.93 OD at 12 hr after initial plating and decreased gradually thereafter to 0.23 in 5 nay culture. From the results of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of cytosolic fraction, the 46 kDa spot was observed as ko separated forms from culture 2 nary culture, and the sixte of this spot was the largest in 5 nay culture. In the pattern of membrane protein, the extensive appearance of newiv synthesized Proteins was found in a naut culture, but no Prominent spot was observed throughout culture. From the results of the present clay, we found that, during myoblast differentiation, the most prominent proteins were bands of 46 kDa and 19.8 kDa in cvtosolic and membrane fraction, respectively, and the appearance of new proteins was initiated at 48 hr after initial plating, and the 46 kDa protein was predominant in the cytoplasm of late culture in which extensive cell fusion was observed.

In this study, we have attempted to understand the effects of taurine on serum and liver concentrations of cholesterol and triglycerides in broiler chickens and mice in the post-absorptive state, and on in vitro protein synthesis in the livers of broiler chickens and laying hens, as well as the effects of taurine on in vivo protein synthesis in the liver of mice. The experimental animals were subjected to 24 h of starvation in order to perpetuate a post-absorptive state. Serum concentrations of high density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides were significantly (p<0.05) higher in the taurine groups than in the controls in both the broilers and the mice. However, taurine resulted in a significant (p<0.05) reduction in liver concentrations of total cholesterol and triglycerides, relative to what was seen in the control groups of both animals. Taurine stimulated the in vitro synthesis of 57-kDa, 40-kDa and 23-kDa proteins in the liver of broilers, but inhibited the in vitro synthesis of 54-kDa, 37-kDa and 24-kDa proteins. Taurine in the liver of laying hens exerted effects on in vitro protein synthesis, with the exception of the 26-kDa protein which was not detected in broiler liver, but was inhibited by taurine in the liver of laying hens. Unlike the findings regarding in vitro protein synthesis in the liver of broilers or laying hens, taurine appeared to stimulate the synthesis of only two proteins, a 47-kDa and a 40-kDa protein, in the liver of mice. Overall, theses findings indicate that taurine treatment results in a reduction in cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations, and also affects protein synthesis in the livers of broilers, laying hens, and mice.

Protein B23 is one of the major nucleolar phosphoproteins associated with pre-ribosomal particles, and is localized in the granular region of the nucleolus. Recent studies suggest that protein B23 shuttles between nucleus and cytoplasm and also interacts with HIV Rev. These findings indicate that protein B23 is important in nucleocytoplasmic relationship and viral replication. However, the exact function of protein B23 is not clear yet. In acute nucleolar hypertrophy of rat liver, treated with thioacetamide, there was observed an increase of not only protein B23 but also B23-like protein p45 when anti-B23 monoclonal antibody (MAb) was used for identification. On the basis of the large B23 specific epitope structure composed of 68 amino acids, a hypothesis was formulated to examine that p45 is the pre-B23 resulting from excessive production of B23. In an attempt to investigate the precursor of B23, we analyzed the subcellular fractions and microsomal subfractions. Subsequently, we analyzed the finger printings of B23-like proteins using the tryptic peptide mapping. The results are summarized: 1) Using B23 MAb, we observed the presence of B23-like proteins in nucleolar fraction, nucleoplasmic fraction and microsomal fraction. 2) In the further microsomal subfractionation, we could partially purify B23-like protein in 2M layer of sucrose gradient. 3) When ion exchange chromatography was employed, there were protein species 80kDa(p80), 65kDa(p65) and 60kDa(p60). 4) Based on the tryptic map analysis of $^{125}I$ labeled proteins, the similarity between B23 and p80 was found only in 9 out of 14(B23) and 21(p80) peptides, and difference was found in the remaining peptides. p80 and p60 had 18 common peptides, and all the peptides of p60 were similar to those of p80. From these results, it is proposed that p45 is an abnormal metabolite resulting from carcinogenesis by thioacetamide, and it is not the precursor of B23. In addition, we suggest that p80 may be a precursor of p45.
