A cellulase (endo-${\beta}$-1,4-D-glucanase(E.C.3.2.1.4)) was isolated from the hepatopancreas of abalone Haliotis discus hannai by EST analysis. The abalone cellulase named HdEG compassed 1977 bp, including 195 bp in the 5'untranslated region, 1680 bp in the open reading frame which encodes 560 amino acid residues, and 92 bp in the 3'-untranslated region. The C-terminal region of the HdEG showed 44-52% identity to the catalytic domains of glycoside hydrolase family 9 (GHF9)-cellulases from arthropods and bacteria. The recombinant cellulase, pEHdEG was produced in E. coli with being fused with C-terminal His-tag. The expressed protein showed a single band (~62 kDa) on Western blotting which was consistent with the value (61,878 Da) calculated from the DNA sequence.

Intact mammalian hair and wool fibres are multi-compartmental composite materials consisting of a sulphur-rich outer protective cuticle layer surrounding elongated, highly keratinized, cortex cells. The cortex cells themselves are made up of crystalline, filamentous, low-sulphur a-helical keratin molecules embedded in a matrix of highly cross-linked, globular high-sulphur keratins. It is the structurally organised and highly disulphide cross-linked nature of these materials that provides them with their remarkable mechanical properties. However these mechanical properties are sensitive to environmental conditions such as water content, temperature and chemical treatment and the importance of their ultra-structural arrangements to overall mechanical properties in different environments is still not fully understood.(omitted)

In this study, we investigated the chemical profile and effects of RW0117 (Artemisia argyi 65 .5 % ethanol extract) on gastric lesions in rats. We optimized and validated a method to obtain the chemical profile of RW0117. We then investigated the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in vitro, and the protective effects on gastric lesions in vivo. The IC50 of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl free radical scavenging considering the antioxidant effects of RW0117 was 166.55 ㎍/mL, and the IC50 of nitric oxide scavenging considering the anti-inflammatory effects was 41.16 ㎍/mL. Oral administration of RW0117 at lower concentrations (25, 50, 100 mg/kg) had similar or greater effects than the daily intake conversion concentration (115mg/kg) of a health functional food (Avexol®) in the acetic acid-induced ulcer and the ethanol-induced gastric injury rat models. In addition, oral administration of RW0117 increased the expression of prostaglandin E2, which enhances the protective effect in the gastric mucosa in the ethanol-induced gastric injury rat model. These results suggest that RW0117 may have potential therapeutic uses in the protection of the gastric mucosa.

A common post-harvest disease of sweetpotato tuber is root rot caused by Fusarium solani in Korea as well as the other countries. Storage root rot disease was monitored earlier on sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) in storehouses of different locations in Korea. In the present study, an isolate SPL16124 was choosen and collected from Sweetpotato Research Lab., Bioenergy Crop Research Institute, NICS, Muan, Korea, and confirmed the identification as Fusarium solani by conidial and molecular phylogenetic analysis (internal transcribed spacer ITS and translation elongation factor EF 1-α gene sequences). The isolate was cultured on potato dextrose agar, and conidiation was induced. The fungus was screened for Fusarium root rot on tuber of 14 different varieties. Among the tested variety, Yenjami, Singeonmi, Daeyumi, and Sinjami showed resistant to root rot disease. Additionally, the pathogen was tested for pathogenicity on stalks of these varieties. No symptom was observed on the stalk, and it was confirmed that the disease is tissue specific.
