This study evaluated the binding abilities of rabbit anti-ovalbumin (OVA) immunoglobulin G (IgG) and egg-allergic patient IgE on gamma-irradiated OVA during proteolysis using pepsin and trypsin. The concentrations of both the intact and the irradiated OVAs decreased during proteolysis when detected with IgG However, when detected by patient IgE the concentration of the intact OVA decreased up to 30 min after the trypsin treatment and increased thereafter. Irradiated OVA detected by patient IgE showed a lower initial concentration (0.16%) than that of the intact OVA, and this reduced concentration was maintained stably. The results indicate that irradiation, rather than enzymatic treatment, could reduce the binding of the irradiated and enzyme-treated OVA. Therefore, gamma irradiation has potential as an effective method to reduce OVA-induced allergy and may enhance the safety of egg-allergic individuals.

Several types of 4-substituted-quinoline-2-carboxylic acid derivatives possessing different substituents at C4-position such as sulfonyl, phosphonyl, carbonyl groups, or a flexible alkyl chain have been synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antagonistic activity at the glycine site on the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor. Of them, 5,7-dichloro-4-(tolylsulfonylamino)-quinoline-2-carboxylic acid 9 was found to have the best in vitro binding affinity with IC50 of 0.57 μM. On the other hand, in compounds 21 and 22 the introduction of flexible alkyl chains on C4 of the quinoline mother nuclei caused a significant decrease of the in vitro binding affinity. In addition, replacement of polar carboxylic acid group on C2 by neutral bioisosteres in compounds 23a-d also seems to be disadvantageous to in vitro activity. In the structure-activity relationship (SAR) study of the 4-substituted quinoline-2-carboxylic acid acid derivatives, it was realized that the substitution pattern on C4 significantly influences on the binding affinity for the glycine site of NMDA receptor and the binding affinity might be increased by the introduction of a suitable electron rich substituent at C4 which has the ability of H-bonding donor.

김치의 발효와 숙성 에 관여하는 2종의 유산균과 3종의 유제품으로부터 분리된 유산균을 Caco-2 세포 부착성과 $AFB_1$ 흡착능에 대해 비교 검토하여 보았다. 또한 유산균을 생균군, 열처리군, 강산처리군으로 나누어 유산균의 부착성 및 흡착력이 세포벽의 구조와 관련이 있다는 보고를 재확인하고자 하였다. L. plantarum KCTC 3099의 경우 Caco-2 세포 부착성이나 $AFB_1$ 흡착능이 높게 나타났으며 이것은 양성 대조군으로 사용된 L. rhamnosus GG와 유사한 수준을 나타내었다. 하지만 L. mesenteroides KCTC 3001은 Caco-2 부착성은 다소 높게 나타났으나 $AFB_1$ 흡착능은 낮게 나타났다. 이것은 Caco-2세포에 결합하는 부위와 $AFB_1$에 결합하는 부위가 일치하지는 않는다는 것을 암시하는 것으로 사료된다. 또한 유산균의 처리방법에 따라서도 다양한 차이를 보였는데 본 실험에서는 강산처리군의 경우 보다 효과적인 것으로 나타났으며 세포벽의 주된 구조인 peptidoglycan과 polysaccharides이 강산의 처리에 의해 결합이 파괴되면서 Caco2 세포 부착성이나 $AFB_1$ 흡착능의 상승에 영향을 미쳤으리라 여겨진다. 하지만 강산처리에 의한 세포벽의 변화는 비특이적으로 발생하기 때문에 동일한 형태로 모든 유산균에 적용 되기는 어려울 것이며 각 유산균종의 세포벽 구조와 특이 성분의 함량에 따라 다양하게 변화가 일어날 것으로 사료된다.

우유 casein단백질을 trypsin, alcalase, neutrase, protamax, S. aureus type V8 등의 단백질분해효소를 이용하여 가수분해시키고 생성된 peptide의 철분가용화능을 측정하였을 때, trypsin과 alcalase에 의해 생성된 peptide들이 pH 6의 조건에서 각각 6.42와 $2.37\;{\mu}g/mL$를 가용화시키는 능력을 보였으며 그외의 protease들은 $1\;{\mu}g/mL$내외의 철분가용화능을 보였다. Trypsin과 alcalase에 의해 생성된 peptide를 역상 column으로 10개의 분획으로 나누어서 각각의 분획의 pH6에서의 철분가용화능을 측정한 결과, trypsin의 경우 분획 5에서 가장 높은 철분가용화능$(2.33\;{\mu}g/mL)$이 발견되었으며 alcalase의 경우에는 분획 7이 가장 높은 철분가용화능$(1.56\;{\mu}g/mL)$을 보였다. 이들 철분과 결합력이 있는 peptide를 분리하기 위하여 IMAC의 방법을 이용하여 철분을 chelating sepharose fast flow column에 고정화 시키고 이들 철분에 흡착하는 peptide의 분리를 시도한 결과, trypsin이나 alcalase에 의해 생성된 peptide중 철분을 가용화시키는 능력이 높은 peptide들이 IMAC에 의해 효과적으로 분리되었다.

GATA4 has been reported to act as a negative regulator in osteoblast differentiation by inhibiting the Dlx5 transactivation of Runx2 via the attenuation of the binding ability of Dlx5 to the Runx2 promoter region. Here, we determine the role of GATA4 in the regulation of bone sialoprotein (Bsp) in osteoblasts. We observed that the overexpression of Runx2 or Sox9 induced the Bsp expression in osteoblastic cells. Silencing GATA4 further enhanced the Runx2- and Sox9-mediated Bsp promoter activity, whereas GATA4 overexpression down-regulated Bsp promoter activity mediated by Runx2 and Sox9. GATA4 also interacted with Runx2 and Sox9, by attenuating the binding ability of Runx2 and Sox9 to the Bsp promoter region. Our data suggest that GATA4 acts as a negative regulator of Bsp expression in osteoblasts.

Hypoxia-inducible factor-$1{\alpha}/{\beta}$ (HIF-$1{\alpha}/{\beta}$) is a heterodimeric transcriptional activator that mediates gene expression in response to hypoxia. HIF-$1{\alpha}$ has been noted as an effective therapeutic target for ischemic diseases such as myocardiac infarction, stroke and cancer. By using a yeast two-hybrid system and a random peptide library, we found a 16-mer peptide named F29 that directly interacts with the bHLH-PAS domain of HIF-$1{\alpha}$. We found that F29 facilitates the interaction of the HIF-$1{\alpha/\beta}$ heterodimer with its target DNA sequence, hypoxia-responsive element (HRE). The transient transfection of an F29-expressing plasmid increases the expression of both an HRE-driven luciferase gene and the endogenous HIF-1 target gene, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Taken together, we conclude that F29 increases the DNA-binding ability of HIF-$1{\alpha}$, leading to increased expression of its target gene VEGF. Our results suggest that F29 can be a lead compound that directly targets HIF-$1{\alpha}$ and increases its activity.

Non-specific reaction has been a problem in doing, especially, research and diagnosis for infectious agents. Avidin-biotin-peroxidase complex (ABC) techniques has widely been used to amplify a reaction. Photobacterium damse1a subsp. piscicdia (formerly Pasteurella piscicida) exhibited a capacity to bind with streptavidin non-specifically. The band, estimated 26 K Da in Western blotted paper, was blocked with biotin but incompletely. In an attempt to explore an involvement of the non-specific substance in attaching piscine cells, cell attachment test performed using anti- Ph. d. subsp piscicida sera raised mouse and rabbit exhibited slightly blocking effects for Mediterranean (1736) and significantly for Japanese (Sp 92144) isolate. Biotin decreased the attachment ability significantly for Sp92144 but it was not effective to 1736. Both isolates showed greatly enhanced attachment ability with poly-L-lysin. The non-specific binding substance was contained in bacterial extracellular products (ECPs). The substance was able to purified with 2-imminobiotin affinity column, the purified substance appeared to have 4 bands in silver staining, and had a carbohydrate branch. This purified substance showed cytotoxic effects selectively between 5 piscine cell lines. Moreover, it stimulated rainbow trout macrophage in terms of reduction of cytochrome cas well as yeast phagocytosis, significantly.

Developing of high technology, productivity of the fiber product has being rapidly increased and also various kinds of advanced treatment process lead consumer's needs to more high functional, clean and healthy goods. Moreover, increasing in the concern of eco-friendly material and processing, it has been getting popular that the dyeing method like as using natural dyes is more eco-friendly and natural-friendly treatment process. The method, used in this study, adhesion by binding with micro-capsulized natural material to fabric has low change in quality by external influence and high ability in spray effect by broken capsule which comes to pressure and friction when it dressed. Also it has wide application from natural fiber to synthetic fiber. The purpose of this study is development of multi-functional synthetic material with micro-capsulized Scutellaria baicalensis on PET. Moreover, it was driven by comparison of colormetric properties and fastness between regular dip-dyeing method and binding with micro-capsulized material method. Dye ability was arranged mostly low exhaustion but the PET treated by micro-capsule was more or less better than the dip-dyeing PET. Through the SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) of PET treated by micro-capsule, it has good residence of capsules even after 5 or 10 times washing. Wash and light fastness was arranged some different grade by each condition but mostly high achievement and the micro-capsulized PET was more improved than regular dip-dyed PET.

To develop processed meat products of pheasant, cut-up parts of pheasant carcass was analyzed, and eight different pheasant meat products were prepared and evaluated for sensory qualities. The average live weight of pheasant was 1,089.2g, and the ratio of carcass to live weight was 75.6%. The cut-up part ratios of breast, leg, neck, back and wings to carcass weight were 33.4%, 22.5%, 5.0%, 4% and 9.5%, respectively. The chemical compositions of breast and leg meat were shown to be moisture of 73.72% and 75.58%, protein of 25.31% and 22.69%, fat of 0.28% and 0.83%, and ash of 0.84% and 0.90%, respectively. Sensory evaluation of eight different meat products of pheasant revealed that all products of pheasant meat, except frankfurt sausage, received equal or better taste score compared with products of chicken or pork, and flavor score except pressed ham and salad. Color, binding ability and particle perception scores of pheasant meat products were equal or superior to those of respective meat products of chicken or pork. The present results suggest that pheasant meat has a potential to be utilized for various value-added products and that the meat bun is the most promising product of pheasant meat. A reinforcement of color, binding ability and particle perception of meat products of other species could also be expected by addition of pheasant meat to them.
