Kv 4.2 ion channel protein has an ability to open at subthreshold membrane potentials and to recover quickly from inactivation. That is very important for neuronal signal transmission in vertebrate brain. In order to purify Kv 4.2 protein, the novel purification methods were experimented. The purification procedure utilized chromatography on DE-52 ion exchange column and affinity chromatography on a WGA-Sepharose 4B, and Kv 4.2 affinity column chromatography. It was found that 0.5% (wt./vol.) Triton X-100 detergent in lysis buffer worked well for Kv 4.2 protein solubilization from rat brain membrane. Protein quantitative determination was conducted by BCA method at 562 nm for each purification step to avoid determination interference of protein at 280 nm by detergent. The confirmation of Kv 4.2 existence and amount is performed using by SDS-PAGE/immunoblotting or 96-well dot blotting. The Kv 4.2 without interacting protein that contains carbohydrate, was purified from novel biochemical 3-steps purification method for further research.

Rapid production of therapeutic proteins such as angiostatin and endostatin angiogenic inhibititors has been highly demanded for cancer treatment. In this regard, recombinant human angiostatin and endostatin were successfully expressed as soluble forms by maltose binding protein (MBP)-mediated fusion expression in Escherichia coli. PCR amplified, angiostatin and endostatin genes from human placenta cDNA library were inserted into an expression vector pMAL-c2e to construct prokaryotic expression vectors, pMAL-c2e/AS and pMAL-c2e/ES, respectively. Recombinant angiostatin and endostatin were efficiently expressed in E. coli origami (DE3) after IPTG induction and protein expression were confirmed by SDS-PAGE analyses. The expressed recombinant proteins were purified near homogenity using an amylose affinty column chromatography. In contrast that previous E. coli expressions were all insoluble, our results first time demonstrated that MBP fused human angiostatin and endostatin were soluble in E. coli.

본 연구의 목적은 시중에 판매되고 있는 쌈장에서 용혈성을 가지는 Bacillus cereus MH-2를 분리하여, EGCG 노출에 따른 MH-2 균주의 세포 반응과 프로테옴 분석을 위해 수행되었다. 다양한 농도의 EGCG에 노출된 MH-2 균주는 노출시간이 증가함에 따라 생존률은 점차 감소함을 보였다. MH-2 균주의 alginate 생성량은 EGCG의 농도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였으며, 특정 EGCG 농도에서 노출시간이 진행됨에 따라 그 생성량은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. SDS-PAGE 및 anti-DnaK와 anti-GroEL의 단일항체를 이용한 Western blot 통한 분석으로, 두 가지 스트레스 충격단백질인 70 kDa의 DnaK와 60 kDa의 GroEL의 발현은 대수생장기의 배양에서 EGCG의 농도에 비례하여 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. EGCG에 노출된 세균의 세포 외부형태 변화를 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 관찰한 결과, 세포 표면의 돌출부 생성과 함께 세포의 뭉그러짐이 관찰되었다. EGCG에 노출된 Bacillus cereus MH-2 배양의 수용성 단백질 부분에 대한 2-DE에서 20개의 단백질 스팟이 EGCG 노출에 의해 크게 변화하는 것이 확인되었다. 장독소(hemolysin BL lytic component L1, hemolysin BL-binding protein), chaperon (DnaK, GroEL), 세포방어요소(peptidase M4 family proteins), 에너지 및 물질대사 등에 수반되는 이들 단백질은 MALDI-TOF를 사용한 peptide mass fingerprinting에 의해 동정되었다. 이들 결과는 B. cereus MH-2에 대한 EGCG-유도 스트레스와 세포독성의 기작을 이해하는데 중요한 단서를 제공할 것이다.

Stanniocalcin 1 (STC1) is a glycoprotein hormone that is important in the maintenance of calcium and phosphate homeostasis in both fish and mammals. STC1 and its paralog STC2 are expressed in multiple tissues in fishes, although the physiological roles of piscine STCs are still unclear compared with those of mammals. In this study, we cloned olive flounder STC1 (ofSTC1) and ofSTC2 cDNAs into pET28a vector and used E. coli Rosetta (DE3) as the host strain for protein expression. Expression experiments were carried out using isopropyl-$\beta$-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG) and nickel affinity chromatography. We could identify the recombinant proteins as single 29.5 kDa (ofSTC1) and 33.2 kDa (ofSTC2) bands in the insoluble fraction on sodium dodecyl sulfate- polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). These results indicate that ofSTC1 and ofSTC2 were expressed as insoluble proteins in E. coli. Furthermore, the injection of ofSTC1 protein into juvenile tilapia resulted in a decrease of the serum calcium level. These results suggest that the purified fish STC1 and STC2 proteins may be used to elucidate the physiological role of STCs in fishes.

Acetohydroxylacid synthase (E.C.2.2.1.6.,AHAS)는 박테리아, 곰팡이, 식물 등에서 필수 아미노산중 세 가지 아미노산(Val, Leu, Ile)의 생합성에 관여하는 효소중 하나이다. Haemophilus influenzae에 대한 AHAS의 효소특성을 규명하기 위하여 H. influenzae의 AHAS catalytic subunit 유전자(TIGR access code HI2585)를 pET28a 발현 벡터에 삽입시켰고, 대장균 BL21(DE3)에서 C-말단에 일련의 histidine을 갖는 재조합 단백질로 발현시켰고, Histidine-tag affinity chromatography 및 gel filtration chromatography를 이용하여 단일 단백질로 정제하였다. 정제하여 얻은 단백질은 최대 15 mg/ml까지 농축이 가능하였다. 정제된 단백질의 분자량은 SDS-PAGE 전기 영동법을 이용하여 약 63.9 kDa의 분자량을 확인하였다. AHAS 효소 활성은 discontinuous colorimetric assay방법을 이용하여 측정하였다. H. influenzae AHAS catalytic subunit의 specific activity는 3.22 U/mg 이었다. 또한AHAS의 최적 활성 온도와 pH는 각각$37^{\circ}C$와 pH 7.5이었다. AHAS 효소 활성은buffer의 종류에 따라 차이가 있었으며, 유기용매가 증가함에 따라 효소 활성도 감소하였다.

Penicillin G amidase(PGA, benzylpenicillinamidohydrolase, EC 3.5.1.11)는 penicillin G를 phenylacetic acid(PAA)와 6-aminopenicillanic acid(6-APA)로 분해하는 효소이다. Escherichia coli(E. coli) ATCC 11105의 PGA는 24 kDa의 small subunit과 65 kDa의 large subunit으로 구성되어 있고, precursor polypeptide에서 signal peptide와 spacer peptide가 절단되어 활성을 가진 heterodimer가 형성된다. 본 연구에서는 E. coli ATCC 11105에서 PCR(polymerase chain reaction)을 통해 증폭한 pga gene을 expression vector에 넣어 pET-pga plasmid를 제작하였고, 이것을 E. coli BL21 (DE3) 균주에 형질 전환하여 PGA를 발현하고 그 활성을 분석하였다. E. coli BL21(DE3)/pET-pga 균주의 고밀도 배양액을 SDS-PAGE로 분석 했을 때, PGA의 precursor, large subunit, 그리고 small subunit으로 보이는 protein band가 나타났으며, PGA가 soluble form의 precursor로 발현되어 processing을 거쳐서 large subunit과 small subunit으로 절단되기도 하고, 일부는 insoluble form의 precursor로 발현되기도 하는 것으로 생각된다. 유가배양시 온도변화 전략을 사용하여 고농도 배양에서 발현을 유도하였다. 온도변화 전략은 $37^{\circ}C$에서 $28^{\circ}C$를 거쳐 $22^{\circ}C$로 3단계로 변화시켰다. 이러한 전략으로 PGA활성은 19.6 U/mL이며 균체량은 600 nm에서 흡광도가 62까지 도달하였다.

When considering the use of rapid prototyping (RP), there are many issues a designer has to address for handling an STL model, the de facto standard fur RP. Today designers can skip all these issues by visiting web-based service bureaus that readily supply needed information for the RP services. Since orders are taken for RP parts through the web page of service providers designers are now asked to upload their STL files to the company server either by direct upload, ftp file transfer, or as an e-mail attachment. If the service bureau, however, fixes or edits an STL filceto optimize the RP process but neglects to tell its customer about the rework in detail, it may cause problems down the line in processing of the original CAD data for other applications. In this paper, we propose a framework for a collaborative virtual environment between CAD designers and RP processes on the internet which directly provides designers with an advanced preprocessor functionality, design visualization, as well as model display, repair, and slicing over the network. This can help smooth data transfer from CAD to RP process with minimum inconsistency in CAD.

In general, a SYPRO Ruby dye is well known as a sensitive fluorescence-based method for detecting proteins by one-or two-dimensional SDS-PAGE (1-DE or 2-DE). Based on the SYPRO Ruby dye system, the combined two-dimensional fibrin zymography (2-D FZ) with SYPRO Ruby staining was newly developed to identify the Bacillus sp. proteases. Namely, complex protein mixtures from Bacillus sp. DJ-4, which were screened from Doen-Jang (Korean traditional fermented food), showed activity on the zymogram gel. The gel spots on the SYPRO Ruby gel, which corresponded to the active spots showing on the 2-D FZ gel, were analyzed by a matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometric analysis. Five intracellular fibrinolytic enzymes of Bacillus sp. DJ-4 were detected through 2-D FZ. The gel spots on the SYPRO Ruby dye stained 2-D gel corresponding to 2-D FZ were then analyzed by MALID TOF MS. Three of the five gel spots proved to be quite similar to the ATP-dependent protease, extracellular neutral metalloprotease, and protease of Bacillus subtilis. Also, the extracellular proteases of Bacillus sp. DJ-4 employing this combined system were identified on three gels (e.g., casein, fibrin, and gelatin) and the proteolytic maps were established. This combined system of 2-D zymography and SYPRO Ruby dye should be useful for searching the specific protease from complex protein mixtures of many other sources (e.g., yeast and cancer cell lines).

An extracellular protease was identified from Bacillus subtilis KCCM 10257 by N-terminal sequencing and mass spectral analysis. The molecular mass of the extracellular protease was estimated to be 28 kDa by SDS-PAGE. Sequencing of the N-terminal of the protease revealed the sequence of A(G,S,R)QXVPYG(A)V(P,L)SQ. The N-terminal sequence exhibited close similarity to the sequence of other proteases from Bacillus sp. A mass list of the monoisotopic peaks in the MALDI-TOF spectrum was searched after peptide fragmentation of the protease. Six peptide sequences exhibiting monoisotopic masses of 1,276.61, 1,513.67, 1,652.81, 1,661.83, 1,252.61, and 1,033.46 were observed from the fragmented protease. These monisotopic masses corresponded to the lytic enzyme L27 from Bacillus subtilis 168, and the Mowse score was found to be 75. A doubly charged Top product (MS) at a m/z of 517.3 exhibiting a molecular mass of 1034.6 was further analyzed by de novo sequencing using a PE Sciex QSTAR Hybrid Quadropole-TOF (MS/MS) mass spectrometer. MS/MS spectra of the Top product (MS) at a m/z of 517.3 obtained from the fragmented peptide mixture of protease with Q-star contained the b-ion series of 114.2, 171.2, 286.2, 357.2, 504.2, 667.4, 830.1, and 887.1 and y-ion series of 147.5, 204.2, 367.2, 530.3, 677.4, 748.4, 863.4, and 920.5. The sequence of analyzed peptide ion was identified as LGDAFYYG from the b- and y-ion series by de novo sequencing and corresponded to the results from the MALDI-TOF spectrum. From these results the extracellular protease from Bacillus subtilis KCCM 10257 was successfully identified with the lytic enzyme L27 from Bacillus subtilis 168.
