Sf21 cells become popular as the host permissive cell line to support the baculovirus AcNPV replication and protein synthesis. The cells grow well on TC-100 medium that contains $0.1\%$ D-glucose as the major carbon source, strongly suggesting the presence of endogenous glucose transporters. However, unlike human glucose transporters, very little is known about the characteristics of the endogenoussugar transporter(s) in Sf21 cells. Thus, some kinetic properties of the sugar transport system were investigated, involving the uptake of 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2dG1c). In order to obtain a true measure of the initial rate of uptake, the uptake of $[^3H]2dGlc$ from both low $(100{\mu}M)$ and high (10 mM) extracellular concentrations was measured over periods ranging from 30 sec to30 min. The data obtained indicated that the uptake was linear for at least 2 min at both concentrations, suggesting that measurements made over a 1min time course would reflect initial rates of the jexpse uptake. To determine $K_m\;and\;V_{max}$ of the endogenous glucose transporter(s) in Sf21 cells, the uptake of 2dG1c was measured over a range of substrate concentrations $(50{\mu}M\~10mM)$ 2dG1c uptake by the Sf21 cells appeared to involve both saturable and non-saturable (or very low affinity) components. A saturable transport system for 2dG1c was relatively high, the $K_m$ value for uptake being < 0.45 mM. The $V_{max}$ value obtained for 2dG1c transport in the Sf21 cells was about 9.7-folds higher than that reported for Chinese hamster ovary cells, which contain a GLUT1 homologue. Thus, it appeared that the transport activity of the Sf21 cells was very high. In addition, the Sf21 glucose transporter was found to have very low affinity for cytochalasin B, a potent inhibitor of human erythrocyte glucose transporter

The nutrient intake and association between dish group intake and blood glucose and serum lipid level (TG, cholesterol, LDL and HDL) was analyzed among 3 groups: 452 subjects in normal blood glucose group (NG: fasting blood glucose < 100 mg/dL and 2 hours postprandial blood glucose < 140 mg/dL), 258 subjects in impaired fasting glucose group (IFG: fasting blood glucose 100~125 mg/dL and 2 hours postprandial blood glucose ${\geq}$ 140 mg/dL) and 101 subjects in diabetic group (DG: fasting blood glucose $\geq$ 126 mg/dL and 2 hours postprandial blood glucose ${\geq}$ 140 mg/dL). The data were obtained from the 2005 National Health and Nutrition Survey of Korea. The 811 subjects were adults aged 40~64 without dietary treatment. In nutrients intake, IFG was the highest and DG the lowest in both quantity and quality. DG, especially, had the lowest intake in carbohydrates, fiber, proteins, Ca, P, K, vitamins B1 and C, and consumed the highest amount of alcohol. In macronutrients distribution ratio, the DG diet showed a lower energy intake from carbohydrates but higher from fat than the NG diet, while IFG showed a higher energy intake from carbohydrates and lower intake from fat in supper out of 3 meals and snacks. IFG preferred salt-fermented foods and DG preferred soups, braised foods and kimchi compared to other groups. NG preferred multi-grain cooked rice and both IFG and DG preferred plain white cooked rice. Regarding the association between dish group intake and blood glucose, cooked rice, soups, salt-fermented foods and kimchi were significantly related to blood glucose. In blood lipids, steamed-foods, beverages and fruits were inversely related to the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, whereas cooked rice, stews, saltfer-mented foods, seasoned-fermented foods and seasoned vegetables were directly proportional to the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and related diseases. Therefore, it is beneficial to avoid rich, salty and fatty foods and heavy alcohol consumption for controlling blood glucose and blood lipids, while steamed foods, foods rich in fiber (like multigrain rice) as a staple, and fruits and teas are recommended for preventing or managing type 2 diabetes risks.

Streptomyces sp. No.8, which produced glucose isomerase was isolated from soil samples. The isolated strain, No.8, was identified as belonging to the Genus Streptomyces. A mutant strain, SM 805, showed the greatest ability to produce glucose isomerase. It was developed from the strain, No.8, by mutagenesis induced by NTG and UV treatment. The mutant strain, SM 805, produced about 7 times more glucose isomerase than the parental strain, No.8. This enzyme catalyzed the isomerization of D-xylose, D-glucose and D-ribose. It was inactive in the absence of metal ions, but was activated by the addition of $Mg^{2+}$ or $Co^{2+}$. The optimum temperature and pH for enzyme activity were $80^\circ{C}$ and pH 8.5, respectively. The enzyme was stable in a pH range of 6.0 to 10.0, and it was highly thermostable. There was no activity loss below $80^\circ{C}$, and even above $90^\circ{C}$ about 45% of its activity was retained. The reaction equilibrium was reached when about 53% fructose was present in the reaction mixture. Whole cells containing glucose isomerase from Streptomyces sp. SM 805 were immobilized by glutaraldehyde treatment. The resultant immobilized enzyme pellets showed a relatively long stability during the isomerizing reaction. The half-life of the immobilized enzyme during the operating was 45 days in the presence of 10mM $Mg^{2+}$.

소변 속에 함유되어 있는 글루코우즈의 농도를 측정하기 위한 폴리우레탄 진단막의 제조과정과 조성조건들에 대해 조사하였다. 요당과 반응한 후 진단막에 나타난 색의 민감도와 안정성도를 증가시키기 위해서는 막 제조과정의 교반조건 및 교반용기, 그리고 사용되어지는 용매의 혼합비율이 아주 중요한 요소들로 작용됨을 알 수 있었다. 실질적으로 이러한 폴리우레탄을 이용해 얻어진 소변용 진단스트립을 사용하면 글루코우즈 농도가 30mg/dL에서 500mg/dL까지에서 색의 분리가 잘 이루어지므로, 이러한 농도 사이에서 요당의 정량적인 측정이 가능하여졌다.

Effects of putrescine, spermidine and spermine on the activity of D-glucose-6-phosphate cyclohydrolase in the Daucus carota L. protoplast cultured for 4 days and effects of polyamines on the incorporation of D-[u-14C]-glucose treated to protoplasts in culture-medium were investigated. The activity of D-glucose-6-phosphate cyclohydrolase was increased by polyamines and among them spermine was the most effective. Polyamiens increased protein synthesis and this due to the increasing effect of the polyamines on the synthesis of glycoprotein which is one of cell wall components. The synthesis of cell polysaccharides, such sa pectic substances, hemicelluloses and cellulose was increased by polyamines, which stimulated synthesis of pectin substances, and hemicellulose more greatly than that of cellulose, and spermidine was the most effective. In the light of the above results it seems that the polyamines increase cell wall regeneration by the stimulation of enzyme activities which synthesize cell wall components.

GERI-155 is a macrolide antibiotic containing two deoxyhexose molecules and shows antimicrobial activities against Gram-positive bacteria. Deoxysugar biosynthetic gene cluster of GERI-155 from Streptomyces sp. GERI-l55 genome was cloned. Four orfs were identified and a putative orf presumed to be the dTDP g]ucose-4,6-dehydratase gene was designated as gerE. GerE was expressed in E. coli by using a recombinant expression vector pHJ1. The expressed protein was purified from E. coli cell lysate by using ammonium sulfate fractionation, and DEAE-sepharose CL-6B and hydroxylapatite column chromatography. The molecular mass of the expressed protein correlated with the predicted mass that was deduced from the cloned gene sequence data. The recombinant protein was a homodimer with a subunit relative molecular weight of 39,000 Dalton. It was found to have dTDP-glucose 4,6-dehydratase activity and also found to be highly specific for dTDP-glucose as a substrate. The values of $K_{m} and V_{max}$ for dTDP-g]ucose were $32\mu$M and 335 nmol $min^{-1}$ (mg protein)^{-1}$, respectively. dTTP and dTDP were strong inhibitors of the protein. $NAD^+$, the coenzyme for dTDP-glucose 4,6-dehydratase, was tightly bound to the expressed protein.

볏짚 가수분해물의 조성과 유사한 xylose/glucose 혼합배지를 이용하여 Candida mogii ATCC 18364에 의한 xylitol 생산성 및 수율에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 통기량을 생육단계 (약 10시간)는 호기적인 2 vvm, 300 rpm에서, 생산단계는 반호기적 조건인 1 vvm, 300 rpm으로 조절한 결과 균체의 농도가 10시간 만에 약 $4.7\;g/{\ell}$까지 증가하여 농축균을 사용한 것과 같은 효과를 얻을 수 있었으며, 4일 후에 $0.58\;g/{\ell}$의 수율과 $0.25\;g/{\ell}{\cdot}h$의 생산성으로 약 $24\;g/{\ell}$의 자일리톨이 생산되어 농축균을 이용한 것보다 약간 더 우수하였다. 또한 생산단계에서 xylose를 이용한 세포의 성장을 감소시키기 위해 생산단계에서 포도당을 $6.8\;g/{\ell}{\cdot}day$로 공급한 결과 4일 후에 0.8 g/g의 수율과 $0.31\;g/{\ell}{\cdot}h$의 생산성으로 약 $29.4\;g/{\ell}$의 자일리톨을 생산하여, 포도당 공급을 하지 않았을 때보다 약 $20{\sim}30%$의 증가를 보여주었다.

${\small{D}}$-Ribose is a value-added five-carbon sugar used for riboflavin production. To investigate the effects of oxygen supply and mixed sugar concentration on microbial production of ${\small{D}}$-ribose, a transketolase-deficient Bacillus subtilis SPK1 was cultured batch-wise using xylose and glucose. A change of agitation speed from 300 rpm to 600 rpm at 1 vvm of air supply increased both the xylose consumption rate and ${\small{D}}$-ribose production rate. Because the sum of the specific consumption rates for xylose and glucose was similar at all agitation speeds, metabolic preferences between xylose and glucose might depend on oxygen supply. Although B. subtilis SPK1 can take up xylose and glucose by the active transport mechanism, a high initial concentration of xylose and glucose was not beneficial for high ${\small{D}}$-ribose production.
