Two genes encoding maltooligosyltrehalose synthase (SaMTS) and maltooligosyltrehalose trehalohydrolase (SaMTH) were isolated from a hyperthermophilic microorganism, Sulfolobus acidocaldarius (ATCC 49462). ORFs of the SaMTS and SaMTH genes are 2,163 and 1,671 bp long and encode 720 and 556 amino acid residues, respectively. A bifunctional fusion enzyme (SaMTSH) was constructed through the gene fusion of SaMTS and SaMTH. Recombinant SaMTS, SaMTH, and SaMTSH fusion enzyme were overexpressed in E. coli BL21. SaMTS and SaMTH produced trehalose and maltotriose from maltopentaose in a sequential reaction. SaMTSH fusion enzyme catalyzed the sequential reaction in which the formation of maltotriosyltrehalose was followed by hydrolysis leading to the synthesis of trehalose and maltotriose. The SaMTSH fusion enzyme showed the highest activity at pH 5.0-5.5 and $70-75^{\circ}C$. SaMTS, SaMTH, and SaMTSH fusion enzyme were active in soluble starch, which resulted in the production of trehalose.

Allylthio group of allicin and other organosulfur compounds which are isolated from garlic is considered as a pharmacophore, a key structure component of the molecule which is responsible biological activities. In the foregoing studies various 3-allylthio -6- alkoxypyridazine derivatives (K- compounds ) and 3-allylthio -6- alkylthiopyridazine derivatives(Thio-K-compounds) were synthesized and their biological activities were tested in vivo. They showed good hepatoprotective activities on the carbon tetrachloride-treated mouse and aflatoxin Bl-treated rat and chemopreventive activities on bepatocarcinoma cells in rat as expected. Now 3-allylthio-6-heterocyclylalkylaminopyridazine derivatives that the oxygen atom at 6-Position of 3-allylthio-6-alkoxypyridazine is replaced by nitrogen (N) were synthesiz ed and their activities were tested in vitro against SK-Hep-1 human liver cancer cells. They showed good chemopreventive activities on hepatocarcinoma cells.

A series of newer substituted-imidazolidine derivatives 3a-k were synthesized and assayed in vivo to investigate their anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antiulcer activity. The results of biological evaluation revealed that the three compounds, 4-[1,3-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)-2-imidazolidinyl]phenyldiethylamine (3g), 4-[1,3-bis(3-Ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl)-2-imidazolidinyl] phenyldiethylamine (3h) and 4-(1,3-bis(benzo[d][1,3]dioxol-5-ylmethyl)-4-methylimidazolidin-2-yl)-N,N-diethylbenzenamine (3j) were good in their anti-inflammatory and analgesic actions. Additionally these derivatives showed superior GI safety profile as compared to that of the standard drug in terms of low severity index. The results are statistically treated for its significance.

Microtubule-interfering agents (MIAs), including paclitaxel, have been attributed in part to interference with microtubule assembly, impairment of mitosis, and changes in cytoskeleton. But the signaling mechanisms that link microtubule disarray to destructive or protective cellular responses are poorly understood. This study investigated the effect of paclitaxel on differentiation such as type II collagen expression and sulfated proteoglycan accumulation in rabbit articular chondrocytes. Paclitaxel caused differentiated chondrocyte phenotype as demonstrated by increment of type II collagen expression and proteoglycan synthesis Paclitaxel treatment stimulated activation of ERK-1/2 and p38 kinase. Inhibition of ERK-1/2 with PD98059 enhanced paclitaxel-induced differentiation, whereas inhibition of p38 kinase with SB203580 suppressed paclitaxel-induced differentiation. Our findings suggest that ERK-1/2 and p38 kinase oppositely regulate paclitaxel-induced differentiation in chondrocytes.

Zn(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) complexes with a general composition[$M(L)_2(X)_2$], where L=4-aminopyridine (4AP) and $X=NO_2{^-}$ were prepared under microwave irradiation. The metal complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance, IR, Far-IR, electronic, NMR ($^1H$, $^{13}C$), XPS spectral and thermal studies. The spectroscopic studies reveal the composition, different modes of bonding, electronic transition, different chemical environment of C and H atoms and the electronic state of the metal atoms. On the basis of the characterization data, tetrahedral geometry is suggested for all the complexes. The free ligand (4-aminopyridine) and their metal complexes were screened against phytopathogenic fungi and bacteria in vitro and the activities were compared.

The allylthio group of allicin and other organosulfur compounds, isolated from garlic, is considered a pharmacophore, and a key structure component of the molecule, which affords biological activities. In the foregoing studies, various 3-alkoxy-6-allylthiopyridazine derivatives (K­compounds) were synthesized, and their biological activities tested in animals. As expected, the various derivatives showed good hepatoprotective activities on carbon tetrachloride-treated mice and aflatoxin B1-treated rats, and chemopreventive activities on hepatocarcinoma cells in rats. Other new pyridazine derivatives, with the oxygen atom at the 3-position of the 3-alkoxy­6-allylthiopyridazine displaced by sulfur (S), were synthesized, and their activities tested in vitro. Thio-K6, one of the sulfur-substituted compounds, showed better chemopreventive activity toward hepatocarcinoma cells.

Transcriptomic changes in the brain of Limanda yokohamae were investigated to understand the environmental condition of Masan Bay, Korea. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the brain of the flat fish from Masan Bay were identified by comparing those from the reference site Gangneung using annealing control primers-based polymerase chain reaction. The results demonstrated that two different kinds of the cytoplasmic ribosomal proteins, 40 s ribosomal protein S27a and ribosomal protein L6, were identified by the BLAST searching followed by sequence analysis. These findings suggest that environmental status of Masan Bay could hinder protein synthesis that is required for maintaining brain functions and thus cause the dysfunction of fish physiology.
