재조합 단백질 생산에서 문제가 되고 있는 번역 후 과정인 glycosylation 을 in vitro 상에서 수행하였다. 원핵생물 시스템에서 재조합 단백질을 생산하고, 이후 효소를 이용하여 올리고당을 붙여 원래의 당단백질과 유사한 단백질을 생산하는 것이 산업적으로 경쟁력을 가질 수 있으므로 이를 위하여 glucose oxidase와 fetuin을 모델 당단백질로, 가수분해 효소인 peptide-N-glycosidase F 의 역반응 활성을 이용하여 glycosylation 을 시도하였다. 역가수분해로의 평형 이동을 위하여 그 기질인 올리고당과 암모니아를 과량 첨가하고, 반응 온도를 높였다. Glucose oxidase의 경우에는 denaturation 했을 때 완전한 deglycosylation 이 일어났지만, fetuin의 경우에는 그렇지 못했다. Glucose oxidase 의 glycosylation 은 수용액상에서는 불가능 했지만 acetone 을 media로 사용하여 $50^{\circ}C$에서 4 시간동안 반응시켰을 때 SDS-PAGE 분석 결과 reglycosylation이 일어나 단백질 밴드가 위로 올라감을 관찰할 수 있었다.

To investigate the function of N-glycosylation of Cel5A (endoglucanase II) from Hypocrea jecorina, two N-glycosylation site deletion Cel5A mutants (rN124D and rN124H) were expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The weights of these recombinant mutants were 54 kDa, which were lower than that of rCel5A. This result was expected to be attributed to deglycosylation. The enzyme activity of rN124H was greatly reduced to 60.6% compared with rCel5A, whereas rN124D showed slightly lower activity (10%) than that of rCel5A. rN124D and rN124H showed different thermal stabilities compared with the glycosylated rCel5A, especially at lower pH value. Thermal stabilities were reduced and improved for rN124D and rN124H, respectively. Circular dichroism spectroscopy showed that the modification of secondary structure by mutation may be the reason for the change in enzymatic activity and thermal stability.

A leucine aminopeptidase has been isolated from the culture medium of the soil fungus, Aspergillus flavus. The enzyme was found to be a glycoprotein, as judged by electrophoresis analysis and the subsequent staining by the periodic acid-Schiff's reagent. Carbohydrate moieties could be cleaved by N-glycosidase, but not by O-glycosidase, indicating that the glucans are linked to the asparagine residue in the protein. Removal of N-glucans was observed without prior denaturation of the protein, implying that the N-glycosidic linkage is exposed and accessible to glycosidase. When the activity of native or deglycosylated enzyme was measured in the presence of various metal ions, removal of carbohydrates increased the aminopeptidase activity of the enzyme.

A gene, ClCDA, encoding chitin deacetylase from Colletotrichum lindemuthianum, was optimized according to the codon usage bias of Pichia pastoris and synthesized in vitro by overlap extension PCR. It was secretorily expressed in P. pastoris GS115 using the constitutive expression vector pHMB905A. The expression level reached the highest with 110 mg/l culture supernatant after 72 h of methanol induction, which comprised 77.27 U/mg chitin deacetylase activity. SDS-PAGE, mass spectrometry, and deglycosylation assays demonstrated that partial recombinant protein was glycosylated with an apparent molecular mass of 33 kDa. The amino acid sequences of recombinant proteins were confirmed by mass spectrometry.

Phytase of rat intestine had a large amount of oilgosacchanrides ; The enzyme consisted of two different subunits with the molecular weights of 90 KDa and 70 KDa in its intack form, whereas the apparent molecular weights tumed to 72 KDa and 52 KDa, respectively, after deglycosylation. The treatment with glycopeptidase F reduced the molecular weights from 90 KDa and 70 KDa to 83 KDa and 52 KDa, respectively, While endoglycosidase H caused no change in their molecular weights. These results indicate that the 70KDa subunit contains only the N-linked oilgosaccharide chains, while the 90KDa subunit ocntains O-linked oilgosaccharides as well as N-linked ones. Enzyme-linked lectin assays suggeted that bisecting N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and galactose 1-4 N-acetyl-D-glucosamine structures were present and that fucose was included in these oilgosaccharide moieties. Sialic acid was not found in either subunit.

식물 유래 화합물은 다양한 생리활성과 구조 다양성으로 많은 연구자에게 관심을 받고 있으나 화합물 분리는 많은 시간 소요, 과량의 유기용매 소모와 분리과정 중의 활성성분의 유실 등의 어려움을 겪게 된다. 이러한 점을 극복하기 위하여 HPLC/SPE/HPLC를 결합한 Sepbox 분리시스템을 이용하여 고추잎 추출물에서 288개 분획물을 획득하였고 이 중에서 alpha-glucosidase 저해효능을 가지는 화합물인 luteolin 7-O-glucoside를 효과적으로 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 고추잎에 풍부한 플라보노이드 다당체를 가수분해함에 따라 해당 활성이 증가함을 검증하였다. 그러므로 본 연구결과는 Sepbox 시스템이 생리활성 평가와 결합할 경우 식물 내 유용물질 탐색에 효과적임을 보여주었다.

열풍건조로 제조된 껍질을 포함한 적양파 분말은 강력한 항산화제인 플라보노이드 함량이 생양파즙에 비해 약 22배로 고농도로 농축되어 있으며, 60-70% ethanol 농도에서 70℃, 2시간 추출시 가장 높은 수율을 나타내었다. 이때 추출된 플라보노이드의 함량은 DPPH radical 소거능과 상관계수 0.877의 높은 상관관계를 나타내었다. 적양파 분말의 플라보이드는 주로 quercetin 배당체인 Q3,4'G, Q4'G와 QA로 이루어져 있으며, 15:39:47의 비율로 구성되어 있었다. 염산, 젖산, 초산 등 다양한 종류의 산처리에 의해 적양파 분말 속 quercetin 배당체는 QA로 전환될 수 있었으며 저농도 초산용액에서 QA로 전환되는 비율이 높았다. 이는 적양파 분말에 포함된 glucosidase가 저농도 산용액에서 활성화되면서 일어나는 반응으로 사료되었다. 초산 처리초기에는 diglycoside인 Q3,4'G의 de-glycosylation이 급격히 일어났으며, 초산처리 6시간 이후에는 Q4'G의 분해와 함께 QA가 증가하여 24시간 경과 후에 최대 QA의 함량에 도달하였으며, QA의 증가는 DPPH radical 소거능과 유의적인 상관성(r=0.90)을 나타내어 생리활성의 증가를 나타내었다. 본 연구결과, 양파의 주요 플라보노이드인 quercetin 배당체는 저농도 초산 처리로 빠르고 간편하게 QA로 전환이 가능하였으며, 이와 더불어 생리활성의 증가도 도모할 수 있었다. 적양파 분말을 이용하여 저농도 산처리를 통하여 QA로의 전환률을 높이면, 고농도의 quercetin을 함유한 양파 소재의 개발이 가능할 것이며, 이를 통해 기능성 양파 가공품의 개발로 이어질 수 있을 것이다.

Platycodon grandiflorum root (Platycodi radix) saponins, platycosides, have been used as health supplements and food items for the treatment of respiratory disorders and pulmonary diseases. Deglycosylated saponins have been known to exert stronger biological effects than their glycosylated forms. In the present study, glycosylated platycosides in Platycodi radix extract were biotransformed into deglycosylated 3-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl platycosides, including 3-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl platycodigenin, 3-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl polygalacic acid, and 3-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl platyconic acid, by pectinase from Aspergillus aculeatus. This is the first report on the quantitative enzymatic production of 3-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl platycosides. The chemical structures of 3-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl platycosides were identified with LC/MS. Moreover, the biotransformation pathways of the three types of platycosides in Platycodi radix into 3-O-β-ᴅ-glucopyranosyl platycosides were established.

Orally administered ginsenosides, the major active components of ginseng, have been shown to be biotransformed into a number of metabolites by gastric juice, digestive and bacterial enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract and also in the liver. Attention is brought to pharmacokinetic studies of ginseng that need further clarification to better understand the safety and possible active mechanism for clinical application. Experimental results demonstrated that ginsenoside metabolites play an important role in the pharmacokinetic properties such as drug metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters, thereby can be applied as a metabolic modulator. Very few are known on the possibility of the consistency of detected ginsenosides with real active metabolites if taken the recommended dose of ginseng, but they have been found to act on the pharmacokinetic key factors in any clinical trial, affecting oral bioavailability. Since ginseng is increasingly being taken in a manner more often associated with prescription medicines, ginseng and drug interactions have been also reviewed. Considering the extensive oral administration of ginseng, the aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview and perspectives of recent studies on the pharmacokinetic properties of ginsenosides such as deglycosylation, absorption, metabolizing enzymes and transporters, together with ginsenoside and drug interactions.
