Corynebacterium glutamicum의 NADPH-specific glutamate dehydrogenase를 이용하여 NADPH, NH$_4$Cl, $\alpha$-ketoglutarate의 기질에 대한 kinetics를 고찰하였다. 이들의 kinetic constants를 측정함으로서 정반응에로의 효소반응 기작은 첫번째 효소와 반응하는 기질이 NADPH 임을 확인할 수 있었다. Glutamate dehydrogenase 활성의 조절을 위한 metabolites의 효과를 고찰하여 본 결과 malate와 citrate 만이 효소에 억제 효과를 나타내었으며, potassium chloride는 효소활성에 가장 많은 영향을 주었다.

Malate dehydrogenase is a ubiquitous enzyme in plants, involving in a range of metabolic processes depending on its subcellular location. A malate dehydrogenase (PgMDH) cDNA was isolated and characterized from the root of Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer. The deduced amino acid sequence of PgMDH showed high similarity with the NAD-dependent mitochondrial malate dehydrogenase from Glycinemax (P17783), Eucalyptus gunnii (P46487), and Lycopersicon esculentum (AAU29198). And the segment of a malate dehydrogenase gene was amplified through RT-PCR. The expression of PgMDH was increased after treatments of chilling, salt, UV, cadmium or copper treatment.

Effect of allylisothiocyanate on the enzyme activites including malate degydrogenase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, NADPH and acetyl CoA which were related to aflatoxin production of Aspergillus parasticus R-716 were invetigated. The activities of malate dehydrogenase (EC.1.1.1.37), isocitrate dehydrogenase (E.C.1.1.1.42) and NADPH oxidase (E.C.1.6.99.1) indicated relatively high in the 50 ppm allylisothiocyanate-added-culture. In contrast, the activity of acetyl CoA in the 50 ppm allylisothiocyanate-added-culture showed rather lower level through the cultivation.

The amino acid threonine was produced from glycine and ethanol in a reaction mixture using cell free extract of the methylotrophic bacterium isolated from soil and identified as mellthylo-bacterium sp. KJ29. Although the isolate could grow on carbon source other than methanol, only the cell free extract from the cells grown on methanol produced threonine. Methanol dehydrogenase (MDH) activity was present only in the cells grown on methanol when compared to the cells grown on heterotrophic substrates.

Aldehyde and active form of free oxygen produced in alcohol metabolism in liver are the cause of liver cell damage. The main system of alcohol metabolism is composed of alcohol dehydrogenase(ADH), aldehyde dehydrogenase(ALDH) and cytochrome P4502E1. Alcohol dehydrogenase is reversible in alcohol metabolism. To block the backward reaction and enhance alcohol oxidation, acetaldehyde trapping agents were assayed. The assay was carried out by measuring decreasing NADH at 340nm, using acetaldcehyde and NADH as substrate and coenzyme respectively. (omitted)

Phenyalanine, tryptophan, tyrosine 과 같은 방향족 아미노산을 계배 초기에 투여하였을 때 somite 형성에 미치는 영향을 광학 및 전자현미경을 사용하여 형태적으로 추구한 결과 아미노산을 투여한 계배에서는 불완전한 체절 분절 현상이 일어나고 신경계에도 감쇠 영향을 미치며 somite의 발생이 불완전하고 그 크기도 다양하였다. 또한 체절 세포는 chromatin이 응축되고 미토콘드리아의 일부는 파괴되었고 핵이 변형된 경우도 있었다. 부란 24시간 후 아미노산을 투여하고 15일간 부란한 계배의 경우 단백질이나 핵산은 대조군에 비해 크게 저하되지는 않았으나 lactate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase 및 glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase와 같은 기초대사에 중요한 구실을 하는 효소활성은 크게 저하되었다. 이와 같은 실험결과로부터 초기계배에 아미노산을 투여하면 아마도 yolk granule의 분해가 지연되며 결과적으로 세포내의 아미노산 균형이 파괴되어 정상 대사가 이루어지지 못하여 비정상적인 체절형성의 현상이 나타나게 되는 것으로 생각된다.

Incubation of two types of glutamate dehydrogenase isoproteins from bovine brain with the arginine-specific dicarbonyl reagent phenylglyoxal resulted in a biphasic loss of enzyme activity. Reaction of the glutamate dehydrogenase isoproteins with phenylglyoxal caused a rapid loss of 53~62% of the enzyme activities and modification of two residues of arginine per enzyme subunit. Prolonged incubation of the glutamate dehydrogenase isoproteins with phenylglyoxal resulted in the modification of an additional four residues of arginine per enzyme subunit without further loss of the residual activities. Partial protection against inactivation was provided by the coenzyme NADH or substrate 2-oxoglutarate. The most marked decrease in the rate of inactivation was observed by the combined addition of NADH and 2-oxoglutarate, suggesting that the first two modified arginine residues are in the vicinity of the catalytic site. However, inactivation of the glutamate dehydrogenase isoproteins by phenylglyoxal appears to be partial with approximately 40% activity remained after an extended reaction time with excess reagent, suggesting that the modified arginine residues may not be directly involved in catalysis. The lack of complete protection by substrates also suggest the possibility that the modified arginine residues are not directly involved at the active site, and the partial loss of activity by the modification of arginine residues may be due to a conformational change. There were no significant differences between the two glutamate dehydrogenase isoproteins in sensitivities to inactivation by phenylglyoxal, indicating that the microenvironmental structures of the glutamate dehydrogenase isoproteins are very similar to each other.

N-nitrosoethylurea(NEU)에 의한 지질 과산화물의 함량 변화와 알데히드 대사효소 및 항산화효소의 활성변화를 쥐 간세포에서 측정하였다. 알데히드 대사효소로는 alcohol dehydrogenase와 aldehyde dehydrogenase가 사용되었고 항산화효소로는 glutathione transferase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione reductase와 catalase가 사용되었다. 쥐 간세포에 다양한 농도의 NEU를 처리한 후 지질 과산화물의 함량변화를 측정하였다. 그 결과 6.25mM NEU에 의하여 지질 과산화물의 함량이 최대 2.5배 증가하였다. Alcohol dehydrogenase의 활성은 NEU처리에 의하여 대조군보다 최대 2.3배 증가하였고 aldehyde dehydrogenase의 활성은 약 2배 증가하였다. 전암성 병변의 지표로 이용되는 glutathione transferase와 catalase의 경우 NEU처리에 의한 활성증가가 미미하였다. 그러나 superoxide dismutase의 활성은 최대 1.5배 증가하였고, glutathione reductase의 활성은 약 3배 증가하였다. 그러므로 superoxide dismutase와 g1utathione reductase의 활성증가가 NEU의 독성에 대한 세포내 항산화 방어과정에서 중요한 역할을 할 것으로 추측된다

Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, continues to be one of the main diseases to mankind. It is urgent to discover novel drug targets for appropriate antimicrobial agents against this human pathogen. The shikimate pathway is onsidered as an attractive target for the discovery of novel antibiotics for its essentiality in bacteria and absence in mammalian cells. The Mycobacterium tuberculosis aroE-encoded shikimate dehydrogenase was cloned, expressed and purified. Sequence alignment analysis shows that shikimate dehydrogenase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibit the pattern of G-X-(N/S)-V-(T/S)-X-PX-K, which is highly conserved within the shikimate dehydrogenase family. The recombinant shikimate dehydrogenase spectrum determined by CD spectroscopy showed that the percentages for $\alpha$-helix, $\beta$-sheet, $\beta$-turn, and random coil were 29.2%, 9.3%, 32.7%, and 28.8%, respectively. The enzymatic characterization demonstrates that it appears to be fully active at pH from 9.0 to 12, and temperature $63^{\circ}C$. The apparent Michaelis constant for shikimic acid and $NADP^+$ were calculated to be about $29.5\;{\mu}M$ and $63\;{\mu}M$. The recombinant shikimate dehydrogenase catalyzes the substrate in the presence of $NADP^+$ with an enzyme turnover number of $399\;s^{-1}$. Zymological studies suggest that the cloned shikimate dehydrogenase from M. tuberculosis has a pretty activity, and the work should help in the discovery of enzyme inhibitors and further of possible antimicrobial agents against Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Chloral hydrate(CH), an intermediate metabolite of trichloroethylene(TRI) is reduced to trichloroethanol(TCE-OH), and is oxidized to trichloroacetic acid(TCA) by the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide(NAD)-dependent enzymes such as alcohol dehydrogenase(ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase(ALDH) in liver. This study was performed to find out the change of activity of ADH and ALDH with increasing amount of TRI. Intraperitoneal injection of TRI were done to the male Sprague Dawely rats(mean body weight, $170{\pm}10g$) in com oil at the dosage of 150, 300, 600 mg/kg for 2 days. The results of experiments are following : 1. The contents of xenobiotic metabolic enzymes in liver are tended to be decreased with increasing amount of, but not significantlly (p>0.05). 2. Activity of ADH in microsome is decreased(p<0.05), and activity of ALDH is increased with amount of TRI(P<0.05). 3. Total trichloro-compounds(TTC) concentration in urine are increased with amount of TRI, but the ratio of between the TCE-OH and the TCA were not shown any critical change. These results suggests that the ALDH in microsome may be related to metabolism of TRI, but ADH was nothing less than the effected to metabolism of TRI.
