It was conducted the experiment, divided into three groups as normal, poor and polycystic ovary syndrome, to detect the change of protein patterns in follicular fluid on ovarian response following controlled ovarian hyperstimulation for human IVF outcome. In the normal group, it was confirmed reproducible 57 spots in the detected total 81 spots. Then 1 spot was not found in the other groups. In the poor responder group, it was found reproducible 53 spots in the detected total 98 spots. 6 spots were down-regulation and 7 spots were up-regulation comparable with normal group. There were not 5 spots in poor responder group comparable with other groups. In the polycystic ovary syndrome group, it was expressed reproducible 53 spots in the detected total 80 spots and 3 spots were just expressed in this group. However, 4 spots were not found in polycystic ovary syndrome. 9 spots were up-regulation comparable with normal group. Significant up and down-regulation spots among the each groups were identified. The results were a cytosolic carboxypeptidase, a signal-induced proliferation-associated protein 1, a ceruloplasmin, a keratin(type II cytoskeletal 1), a polypeptide N-acetylgalactosantinyltransferase 2, a serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 4 regulatory subunit 4. It was identified that 8 spots, 6 kinds of protein are corresponded with NCBInr database research, but 10 spots were failed in the identification. In conclusion, it has been confirmed change and expression of protein on the ovarian response following COH of human.

Milk-related traits (milk yield, fat and protein) have been crucial to selection of Holstein. It is essential to find the current selection trends of Holstein. Despite this, uncovering the current trends of selection have been ignored in previous studies. We suggest a new formula to detect the current selection trends based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP). This suggestion is based on the best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) and the Fisher's fundamental theorem of natural selection both of which are trait-dependent. Fisher's theorem links the additive genetic variance to the selection coefficient. For Holstein milk production traits, we estimated the additive genetic variance using SNP effect from BLUP and selection coefficients based on genetic variance to search highly selective SNPs. Through these processes, we identified significantly selective SNPs. The number of genes containing highly selective SNPs with p-value <0.01 (nearly top 1% SNPs) in all traits and p-value <0.001 (nearly top 0.1%) in any traits was 14. They are phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B), serine/threonine kinase 40 (STK40), collagen, type XI, alpha 1 (COL11A1), ephrin-A1 (EFNA1), netrin 4 (NTN4), neuron specific gene family member 1 (NSG1), estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1), neurexin 3 (NRXN3), spectrin, beta, non-erythrocytic 1 (SPTBN1), ADP-ribosylation factor interacting protein 1 (ARFIP1), mutL homolog 1 (MLH1), transmembrane channel-like 7 (TMC7), carboxypeptidase X, member 2 (CPXM2) and ADAM metallopeptidase domain 12 (ADAM12). These genes may be important for future artificial selection trends. Also, we found that the SNP effect predicted from BLUP was the key factor to determine the expected current selection coefficient of SNP. Under Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium of SNP markers in current generation, the selection coefficient is equivalent to $2^*SNP$ effect.

김치로부터 분리한 L. sp. KD 28은 펩타이드성 항균물질인 박테리오신을 생산하였다. 이 박테리오신은 ${\alpha}$-chymotrypsin, proteinase K, lipase, ${\alpha}$-amylase, carboxypeptidase A 효소에 대해서 매우 민감한 반응을 보였다. 낮은 pH 2.0에서 약 염기성의 pH 8.0까지는 항균활성을 온전히 유지하였으나 pH 8.0 이상에서는 항균활성이 감소하기 시작하여 pH 12.0에서는 25%로 감소하였다. L. sp. KD 28는 16S rRNA 분자계통학적 분석을 한 결과 L. lactis와 99% 상동성을 보였다. 또한 김치에서 분리한 L. sp. KD 28이 생산하는 박테리오신은 acetonitrile, isopropanol, methanol, chloroform 및 acetone 등의 유기용매 최종 농도 50%에서 항균활성은 영향을 받지 않았다. 열 안정성의 경우 $80^{\circ}C$까지 한 시간의 열처리에 안정하였으나 $100^{\circ}C$에서는 20분 이상의 열처리에 의해 항균활성이 감소하여 50분간 열처리할 경우 항균활성이 나타나지 않았다. 또한 이 박테리오신은 그람 음성보다는 양성 세균인 M. luteus IAM 1056, L. delbrueckii subsp. lactis KCTC 1058, E. faecium KCTC 3095, B. cereus KCTC 1013, B. subtilis KCTC 1023, S. aureus subsp. aureus KCTC 1916, B. megaterium KCTC 1098, B. sphaericus KCTC 1184 및 L. ivanovii subsp, ivanovii KCTC 3444 등에 대해서 항균활성을 보였다. 박테리오신을 SP-Sepharose 이온교환크로마토그래피로 부분 정제한 후 RP-HPLC 를 통해서 최종적으로 정제하여 tricine-SDS-PAGE를 통해 분자량을 확인한 결과 약 3.4 kDa로 나타났다.

We have shown that carboxy-peptidase destroys the biological activity of angiotensin octa-and deca-peptides. Since Proline occurs as the seventh amino acid from the amino end of the chain and since carboxypeptidase does not cleave proline from a peptid chain, it is evident that the heptapeptid H.asp-arg-val-tyr-ileu-his-pro.OH is formed by this hydrolysis. This peptide must then be biologically inactive. In order to determine whether the phenyl group of the C-terminal amino acid was the necessary requirement for biological activity of the octapeptide, $ala^8$ angiotensin octapeptide(amino acids of peptides numbered from amino end) was synthesized. For this synthesis the four dipeptides were prepared: carbobenzoxy-L-prolyl-L-alanine-P-nitrobenzyl-ester, m.p. $134-135^{\circ}C,$ carbobenzoxy-L-isoleucyl-imidazole benzyl-L-histidine methyl ester, m.p. $114-116^{\circ}C,$ carbobenzoxy-L-valyl-L-tyrosine hydrazide and carbobenzoxy B-benzyl-L-aspartyl-nitro-L-arginine. The first three dipeptides were obtained as crystalline compounds. Imidazole-benzyl-L-histidine was used in the hope that it would block the histidine imidazole against side reactions in steps subsequent to the formation of the C-terminal tetrapeptide. Also, it was through that the imidazole benzylated peptides would be easier to crystallize. This, however, was not the case. The tetrapeptide, carbobenzoxy-L-isoleucyl-L-im, benzyl-histidyl, L-prolyl-L-alanine-nitrobenzyl ester was not obtained in a crystalline form. Neither could the mono-or dihydrobromide of the tetrapeptide free base be induced to crystallize. Carbobenzoxy-L-valyl-L-tyrosine azide was condensed with the tetrapeptide free base to yield the protected hexapeptide; carbobenzoxy-L-valyl-L-tyrosyl-L-isoleucyl-L-im, benzyl, histidyl-L-Prolyl-L-alanine-nitrobenzyl ester. Upon removal of the carbobenzoxy group with hydrogen bromide in acetic acid an amorphous free base hexapeptide ester was obtained. This compound gave the correct C, H, N analysis and contained the six amino acids in the correct ratio. The octapeptide was obtained by condensing this hexapeptide with carbobenzoxy-B-benzyl-L-aspartyl-nitro, L-arginine using the mixed anhydride method of condensation. This amorphous product was proven to be homogenous by chromatography in two solvent systems and upon hydrolysis yielded the eight amino acids in correct ratio. The five protecting groups were removed from the octapeptide by hydrogenolysis over palladium black catalyst. Biological assay of the free peptide indicated that it possessed less than 0.1 per cent of both pressor and oxytocic activity of the phenylalanine8 angiotensin. This suggests that the phenyl group is a point of attachment between angiotensin and its biological receptor site.

수집한 간장시료에서 형태학적인 특성에 따라 상이한 30주의 미생물을 분리하고 MRS 액체배지에서 $37^{\circ}C$, 24시간 배양한 후 회수한 배양 상등액 중 paper disc법으로 항균활성이있는 것을 일차 선별하여 proteinase K 처리에 의해 항균활성이 사라지는 시료 하나를 최종적으로 선별하였다. 선별한 분리주를 생화학적 분류와 분자계통학적 분류를 통해 동정한 결과 B. lichenifirnus로 나타났다. 이 균주의 생장온도와 배지의 초기 pH 에 따른 세포생장 및 박테리오신 활성을 조사한 결과 배양온도는 $37^{\circ}C$, 배지의 초기 pH는 7.0에서 박테리오신의 활성이 가장 높게 나타났다. B. lichenifirnus가 생산하는 박테리오신은 Bacill sogaerucey, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus plantaum, Micrococcus Iateus, Paenibacillus polymyxa 및 Pediococcus dextrinicus 등에 대해서 항균활성을 보였으며, pH 3.0${\sim}$11.0에 이르는 거의 전 pH 영 역에서 20시간 이상 처리하여도 그 항균활성을 완전히 잃지 않아 비교적 넓은 pH 범위 내에서 안정함을 알 수 있었다. Acetone, acetonitrile, chloroform, ethanol 처리 및 $20{\sim}100^{\circ}C$C에서 60분간 가열시에도 높은 항균활성을 유지하였다. 여러 가수분해효소에 대한 내성을 조사한 결과 trypsin, a-chymotrypsin, pepsin, a -amylase 및 carboxypeptidase A 등은 항균활성에 영향을 주지 않았으나 lipase는 항균활성을 약간 감소시켰으며 proteinase K는 항균활성을 완전히 사라지게 하였다. 75% 황산암모늄 침전, 양이온교환크로마토그래피, 역상 HPLC 등의 과정을 통해 정제된 박테리오신의 상대비활성(specific activity)은 배양상등액에서 보다 약 75배 증가하였고 회수율은 13.5%였다. 역상 HPLC를 통해서 정제된 박테리오신의 분자량을 tricine SDS-PAGE을 통해서 확인한 결과 약 2.5 kDa으로 나타났으며 염색 시 단일 band로 나타나 순수하게 정제되었음을 확인하였다.
