NR2B는 연접후 치밀질의 주요 tyrosine 인산화 단백질이다. 본 연구에서는 mass spectrometry 방법을 적용하여 NR2B의 tyrosine 인산화 위치를 동정하였다. NR2B를 N-octyl glucoside (NOG)에 용해되지 않는 PSD 분획으로부터 SDS-PAGE와 electroelution방법으로 분리하였다. 분리한 단백질을 NR2B와 phos-photyrosine에 특이한 항체로 조사한 결과 이들은 phosphotyrosine을 유지하고 있는 NR2B임이 확인되었다. 이 단백질을 trypsin 혹은 endolys-C 처리하고, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry 방법으로 조사한 결과 Tyr-1304이 인산화됨을 확인하였다.

The Korean native chickens (Woorimotdak$^{TM}$, KNC) and commercial broilers (Ross, CB) show obvious differences in meat flavor after cooking. To understand the contribution of protein and peptide for meat flavor, 2-dimensional (2-D) gel electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry was performed. A total of 16 protein spots were differentially expressed in the breast and thigh meat between the two breeds. A total of seven protein spots were represented by different levels between KNC and CB for breast meat. Among them three protein spots (TU39149, TU40162 and TU39598) showed increases in their expressions in KNC while other four protein spots (BU40125, BU40119, BU40029 and BU39904) showed increases in CB. All nine protein spots that were represented by different levels between KNC and CB for thigh meat showed increases in their expression in KNC. Phosphoglucomutase 1 (PGM 1), myosin heavy chain (MyHC), heat shock protein B1 (HSP27), cytochrome c reductase (Enzyme Q), Glyoxylase 1, DNA methyltransferase 3B (DNA MTase 3) were identified as the main protein spots by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. These results can provide valuable basic information for understanding the molecular mechanism responsible for breed specific differences in meat quality, especially the meat flavour.

아스코크로린(Ascochlorin, ASC)은 Ascochyta viciae로부터 추출된 프레닐페놀 물질로, 혈청 콜레스테롤과 트리글리세라이드 수치를 감소시키고 종양 성장을 억제한다는 연구 결과가 보고되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 아스코크로린이 생리학적 혹은 병리학적인 작용과 염증반응에서 약리학적으로 유도되는 반응을 어떻게 조절하며, 이러한 메커니즘에 대해 이해하기 위해 mouse macrophage Raw264.7 세포에 아스코크로린을 처리하여 이에 대한 프로테옴의 특이적인 발현에 대해 분석하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 LPS를 처리한 mouse macrophage Raw264.7 세포에 아스코크로린을 처리하여 염증과정에 관련된 단백질의 발현 양상을 확인하기 위해 프로테오믹스를 시행하였다. Mouse macrophage RAW264.7 세포에 아스코크로린을 처리한 조건과 무처리한 조건으로 나누어 two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-D SDS-PAGE), matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS)와 bioinformatics 방법으로 아스코크로린을 처리한 mouse macrophage Raw264.6 세포의 프로테옴을 분석하였다. 그 결과 mouse macrophage Raw264.7 세포에 아스코크로린 처리 시 Calreticulin이 4배 감소, ${\beta}-actin$도 4배 감소 그리고 vimentin이 1.5배 감소함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 그러나 rabaptin 아스코크로린 처리에 의해 3배 증가함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이러한 단백질 발현은 RT-PCR을 수행하여 결과에 대해 재확인 하였으며, 프로테오믹스와 동일한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 LPS 처리에 의해 활성화된 mouse macrophage RAW264.7 세포에 ASC를 처리한 후 이차원 전기영동법을 이용하여, 단백질의 발현 변화 및 양상을 규명하고 단백질 지도를 확립 하였으며, RAW264.7 세포를 이용한 면역세포 모델에서 ASC의 항염증 작용을 중심으로 생리활성 조절기능을 확인 할 수 있었다. 향후 분자 기능 조절 연구와 전 임상 연구를 통해 ASC의 생리활성 조절 기능을 규명한다면 ASC는 항염증 및 항암활성을 갖는 약물로 개발될 것으로 기대된다.

The Saccharomyces0 cerevisiae KNU5377 strain, which was isolated from spoilage in nature, has the ability to convert biomass to alcohol at high temperatures and it can resist against various stresses [18, 19]. In order to understand the defense mechanisms of the KNU5377 strain under menadione (MD) as oxidative stress, we used several techniques for study: peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) followed by two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis, liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS), and surface-enhanced laser desorption ionization-time of flight (SELDI-TOF) technology. Among the 35 proteins identified by MALDI-TOF MS, 19 proteins including Sod1p, Sod2p, Tsa1p, and Ahp1p were induced under stress condition, while 16 proteins were augmented under normal condition. In particular, five proteins, Sod1p, Sod2p, Ahp1p, Rib3p, Yaf9p, and Mnt1p, were induced in only stressed cells. By LC-ESI-MS/MS analysis, 37 proteins were identified in normal cells and 49 proteins were confirmed in the stressed cells. Among the identified proteins, 32 proteins were found in both cells. Five proteins including Yel047cp and Met6p were only upregulated in the normal cells, whereas 17 proteins including Abp1P and Sam1p were elevated in the stressed cells. It was interesting that highly hypothetical proteins such as Ynl281wp, Ygr279cp, Ypl273wp, Ykl133cp, and Ykr074wp were only expressed in the stressed cells. SELDI-TOF analysis using the SAX2 and WCX2 chips showed that highly multiple-specific protein patterns were reproducibly detected in ranges from 2.9 to 27.0 kDa both under normal and stress conditions. Therefore, induction of antioxidant proteins, hypothetical proteins, and low molecular weight proteins were revealed by different proteomic techniques. These results suggest that comparative analyses using proteomics might contribute to elucidate the defense mechanisms of KNU5377 under MD stress.

Fruit bagging has been widely practiced in peach cultivation to produce high quality and unblemished fruit. Moreover, fruit bagging has been utilized to study the effect of shading on the quality of fruit. We conducted a proteomic analysis on peach fruit to elucidate the biochemical and physiological events that characterize the effect of bagging treatment. Comparative analysis of 2D electrophoresis (2-DE) gels showed that relative protein levels differed significantly at 125 DAFB (days after full bloom), as well as at 133 DAFB in fruit that had been bagged until 125 DAFB, followed by exposure to sunlight. Most of the proteins with altered expression were identified by MALDI TOF/TOF. Twenty-one proteins with differential expression among the groups were identified at 125 DAFB, while thirty proteins with differential expression among the groups were identified at 133 DAFB. The analysis revealed that expression of proteins involved in photosynthesis, stress responses, and biochemical processes influencing metabolism were altered during bagging treatment, suggesting that regulation of the synthesis of carbohydrates, amino acids, and proteins influenced fruit size, solid/acid ratio, and peel color. This work provides the first characterization of proteomic changes in peach in response to fruit bagging treatment. Identifying and tracking protein changes may allow us to better understand the mechanisms underlying the effects of bagging treatment.

Salmonella로부터 식품 안전성을 높이기 위한 보존법의 병용처리에 의한 효과를 평가하고자 S. Typhimurium을 열과 산, 산화제 등으로 연속 처리한 후 생균수를 측정하여 효과를 분석하였다. 그리고 열충격에 의하여 S. Typhimurium 내에 발현되거나 억제되는 단백질을 이차원 전기영동과 MALDI-TOF 질량분석기로 분석하였다. 열처리된 S. Typhimurium은 초산과 염산의 pH 4에서의 생균수가 1.3-1.8 log CFU/mL가 줄었고 비열처리 S. Typhimurium은 생균수가 약 5 log CFU/mL가 감소하였다. 열처리 S. Typhimurium은 butyl hydrogen peroxide와 과산화수소에서 생균수가 1.1-1.7 log CFU/mL가 줄었으나 비열처리 S. Typhimurium은 5.4-5.6 log CFU/mL 감소하였다. 충분하지 않은 사멸 열처리는 S. Typhimurium의 생존력을 증가시키고 산과 산화제 등의 보존제에서 저항성이 커지는 것을 알 수가 있었다. 이차원 전기영동과 MALDI-TOF 질량분석에 의한 발현 단백질 분석 결과 비열처리 S. Typhimurium은 17개의 단백질이 검출되었고 열처리 S. Typhimurium에는 13개의 단백질만 검출되었다. 이들 중에 열충격 단백질로 알려진 DnaK, small heat shock protein 등이 검출되었고 이들이 산과 산화제에서의 생존 저항성 증가와 관련이 있을 것으로 보인다. 그러므로 열처리를 포함하는 hurdle technology를 적용하여 식품을 보존처리할 때 다른 보존제에 대한 교차보호성이 증가되는 사실을 고려하여 적절한 열처리가 고려되어야 된다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

A polymeric micelle drug delivery system was developed to enhance the solubility of poorly-water soluble drug, biphenyl dimethyl dicarboxylate, DDB. The block copolymers consisting of poly(D,L-lactide) (PLA) as the hydrophobic segment and methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG) as the hydrophilic segment were synthesized and characterized by NMR, DSC and MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy. The size of the polymeric micelles measured by dynamic light scattering showed a narrow monodisperse size distribution with the average diameter less than 50 nm. The MW of mPEG-PLA, 3000 (MW of mPEG, 2 K; MW of PLA, 1K), and the presence of hydrophilic and hydrophobic segments on the polymeric micelles were confirmed by MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy and NMR, respectively. Polymeric micelle solutions of DDB were prepared by three different methods, i.e. the matrix method, emulsion method and dialysis method. In the matrix method, DDB solubility was reached to 13.29 mg/mL. The mPEG-PLA 2K-1K micelle system was compared with the poloxamer 407 micelle system for their critical micelle concentration, micelle size, solubilizing capacity, stability in dilution and physical state. DDB loaded-polymeric micelles prepared by the matrix method showed a significantly increased aqueous solubility (＞5000 fold over intrinsic solubility) and were found to be superior to the poloxamer 407 micelles as a drug carrier.

In Korea, the Mycobacterium tuberculosis K-strain is the most prevalent clinical isolates and belongs to the Beijing family. In this study, we conducted comparative porteomics of expressed proteins of clinical isolates of the K-strain with H37Rv, H37Ra as well as the vaccine strain of Mycobacterium bovis BCG following phagocytosis by the human monocytic cell line U-937. Proteins were analyzed by 2-D PAGE and MALDI-TOF-MS. Two proteins, Mb1363 (probable glycogen phosphorylase GlgP) and MT2656 (Haloalkane dehalogenase LinB) were most abundant after phagocytosis of M. tuberculosis K-strain. This approach provides a method to determine specific proteins that may have critical roles in tuberculosis pathogenesis.

This study provides first-hand proteomic data on the survival strategy of Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 when subjected to long-term iron-starvation conditions. 2D-gel electrophoresis followed by MALDI-TOF/MS analysis of iron-deficient Anabaena revealed significant and reproducible alterations in ten proteins, of which six are associated with photosynthesis and respiration, three with the antioxidative defense system, and the last, hypothetical protein all1861, conceivably connected with iron homeostasis. Iron-starved Anabaena registered a reduction in growth, photosynthetic pigments, PSI, PSII, whole-chain electron transport, carbon and nitrogen fixation, and ATP and NADPH content. The kinetics of hypothetical protein all1861 expression, with no change in expression until day 3, maximum expression on the $7^{th}$ day, and a decline in expression from the $15^{th}$ day onward, coupled with in silico analysis, suggested its role in iron sequestration and homeostasis. Interestingly, the up-regulated FBP-aldolase, Mn/Fe-SOD, and all1861 all appear to assist the survival of Anabeana subjected to iron-starvation conditions. Furthermore, the $N_2$-fixation capabilities of the iron-starved Anabaena encourage us to recommend its application as a biofertilizer, particularly in iron-limited paddy soils.
