  • Small GTP-binding proteins are divided into three major group: Ras, Rho and Ypt/Rab. They have the conserved regions designed G1 to G5 that are critical in GDP/GTP exchange, GTP-induced conformational change and GTP hydrolysis. We isolated and characterized genomic DNA or cDNAfragments encoding G1 to G3 domains of small GTP-binding protein Rab and Rho from several plant species using two different PCR-based cloning strategies. Seven rab DNA fragments were isolated from 4 different plants, mung-bean, tobacco, rice and pepper using two degenerate primers corresponding to the GTP-binding domain G1 and G3 in small GTP-binding proteins. The amino acid sequences among these rab DNA fragments and other known small GTP-binding proteins shows that they belong to the Ypt/Rab family. Six rho DNA fragments were isolated from 5 different plants, mung-bean, rice, Arabidopsis, Allium and Gonyaulax using the nested PCR method that involves four degenerate primers corresponding to the GTP-binding domain G1, G3 and G4. The rho DNA fragments cloned show more than 90% homology to each other. Sequence comparison between plant and other known Rho family genes suggests that they are closely related (67 to 82% amino acid identity). Sequence analysis and southern blot analysis of rab and rho in mung-bean suggest than thses genes are encoded by multigene family in mung-bean.

  • Recently, software programming method based on EJB for object oriented software design and implement has been used frequently. Usually, case that use permanent data that use Database in EJB base application is most. Part connected with Database-Access that take charge in Entity Bean class of server side creation program. In this paper using J2EE relationship DAO pattern class each separate. This is no much difference with existent pattern method, but in same pattern common classes are designed so that composition may be possible. And as well as use Entity Bean class that created each DBMS classes are different, is doing Rata Source so that connection work is available without alteration or creation of additional program in several DBMS environments.

  • Using the enzyme activity staining, we studied the induction and distribution of chitinase isozymes, pathogenesis-related proteins, in intercellular fluids of bean and soybean leaves under stress conditions. The chitinase in intercellular fluids was barely detected in healthy plant leaves. By treatment of ethylene, pathogen (Fusarium oxysporum), or wounding, only 34 kD intercellular endochitinase was induced in bean leaves, while 30 kD and 36 kD intercellular endochitinases were induced in soybean leaves.

  • The purpose of this study was to determine the foaming properties of two small red bean protein isolates at various conditions. Data concerning the effects of pH, temperature, MaCl concentration, sugar concentration and protein concentration on the properties such as solubility, foam expansion, foam stability were presented. The results were summarized as follows : 1. The crude protein contents of two small red beans were 26.14% and 22.71%. The percentage of nonpolar amino acid group was the highest and that of sulfur containing amino acid group was the lowest. 2. Protein solubility showed the minimum at pH 4.5 which is isoelectric point of small red bean protein isolate adn heat treatment lowered solubility(P<0.05). At pH 4.5, solubility increased sighificantly as 0.4M NaCl was added. However, the effect of sugar concentration in the solubility was not significant. 3. Foam expansion of two small red bean protein isolates was high at pH 4.5 and heat treatment at 10$0^{\circ}C$ lowered foam expansion(P<0.05). While addition of NaCl, sugar did not affect the foma expansion, gradual increment of the protein isolates concentration up to 9% decreased the foma expansion slightly. 4. Foam stability was significantly high at pH 4.5 and heat treatment at 10$0^{\circ}C$ lowered foam stability. Addition of sugar caused slight decrease in foam stability. From 1% to 9% suspension, foma stability increased significantly as protein concentration increased(P<0.05)

  • Photostimulated luminescence (PSL) analysis was applied to determine whether some agricultural commodities of Korean and Chinese origins have been irradiated or not. Cereals (brown rice and buckwheat) and legumes (soybean, peanut, fed bean and mung bean) were exposed to gamma irradiation at 0.5 ∼4 kGy The Korean garlic was irradiated at 0.05 ∼0.5 kGy. Cereals and mung bean were tool applicable to the PSL measurement, showing the intermediate values between the lower (700 photon counts, negative) and the upper threshold values (5,000, positive), however PSL values determined for soybean, peanut, red bean and garlic were suitable for being discriminated between nonirradiated and irradiated samples. There was no significant difference in PSL properties accgrding to the sample origins.

  • The isolation of active compounds showing the inhibitory effect on glucosyltransferase(GTase) from cacao bean husk(CBH) extract was carried out for screening of anti-plaque agents. These active compounds were purified by additional column chromatography of MCI-gel CHP-20 and Sephadex LH-20 and their chemical structures were determined by NMR and mass spectroscopy. Two compounds showing the inhibitory effect on GTase from CBH extract were obtained. These compounds showed positive reactions with anisaldehyde-H2SO4 solution and FeCl3, and were identified as dimeric flavan-3-ols on TLC. By NMR and MS data analyses, the structures of two different flavan-3-ols were identified as procyanidin B-1 and procyanidin B-3, respectively.

  • The final step in ethylene biosynthesis is catalyzed by the enzyme 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) oxidase. ACC oxidase was extracted from mung bean hypocotyls and its biochemical characteristics were determined. In vitro ACC oxidase activity required ascorbate and $Fe^{2+}$, and was enhanced by sodium bicarbonate. Maximum specific activity (approximately 20 nl ethylene $h^{-1}$ mg $protein^{-1}$) was obtained in an assay medium containing 100 mM MOPS (pH 7.5), $25\;{\mu}M$ $FeSO_4$, 6 mM sodium ascorbate, 1 mM ACC, 5 mM sodium bicarbonate and 10% glycerol. The apparent $K_m$ for ACC was $80{\pm}3\;{\mu}M$. Pretreating mung bean hypocotyls with ethylene increased in vitro ACC oxidase activity twofold. ACC oxidase activity was strongly inhibited by metal ions such as $Co^{2+}$, $Cu^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, and $Mn^{2+}$, and by salicylic acid. Inactivation of ACC oxidase by salicylic acid could be overcome by increasing the $Fe^{2+}$ concentration of the assay medium. The possible mode of inhibition of ACC oxidase activity by salicylic acid is discussed.

  • The effect of water extract of adzuki beans on acetaminophen-altered lipid metabolism was examined in rats. Control group of rats was fed a basal diet, another group of rats was fed 0.5% acetaminophen (APAP group), and a third group of rats was fed 0.5% acetaminophen plus 5% adzuki bean extract (ABE group) for 4 weeks. Serum total and HDL cholesterol levels in the APAP group were significantly lower than those in the control and ABE groups. Hepatic cholesterol $7{\alpha}-hydroxylase$ and fatty acid synthase mRNA levels in the APAP and ABE groups were significantly higher and lower than in the control group, respectively. Hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase mRNA level in the APAP group was significantly lower than in the control group, whereas that in the ABE group was significantly higher than in the APAP group. These results indicate that adzuki bean extract may improve the acetaminophen-altered serum lipid metabolism in rats.

  • The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics of mung bean starch jellies prepared with additions of white lotus steam juice at differing levels (0, 2, 4, 6, 8 mL). The proximate composition of the lotus steam juice was $96.37{\pm}0.04\;g/100\;g$ for moisture, $0.75{\pm}0.01\;g/100\;g$ for crude protein, $0.24{\pm}0.01\;g/100\;g$ for crude fat, and $1.90{\pm}0.07\;g/100\;g$ for crude ash. As the level of lotus steam juice increased, the moisture contents and, L, a and b values of the jellies increased (p<0.05). However, the L value of the WSL8 group did not differ significantly. According to the mechanical evaluation results, hardness values of the WSL4 and WSL6 groups were increased (p<0.05), whereas, cohesiveness, gumminess and adhesiveness were not significantly different among the groups. Springiness was higher (p<0.05) in the WSL8 group compared to the other groups, and, chewiness was higher (p<0.05) in the WLS6, and WSL8 groups than in the WSL2 group. According to the sensory evaluations, the mung bean starch jellies prepared with 4~6 mL of lotus steam juice received the highest preference scores and were therefore chosen as optimal products.
