토양에서 분리된 Enterobacter agglomerans CBNU45는 type II 제한효소인 EagBI을 생산하고 있음을 발견하였다. EagBI을 DEAE-cellulose, phosphocellulose P11, hydroxylapatite column chromatography를 거쳐 부분 정제하여 그 특성을 알아보았다. EagBI은 여섯개의 염기배열 5’-CGAT${\downarrow}$CG-3’을 인식하고 T 와 C 사이를 절단하여 두개의 염기가 3’-말단쪽으로 돌출된 cohesive end를 형성하였다. EagBI의 반응 최적조건은 10mM Tris-HCl(pH 7.8), 6~10mM $MgCl_2$, 37${\circ}C$이었으며 NaCl이 없는 반응 완충용액에서 가장 좋은 활성을 보였다. EagBI은 $dam^-$와 $dam^+$ 메칠화 DNA도 절단할 수 있으며 65${\circ}C$에서 10분 동안 열처리하였을 때 효소의 활성을 상실하였다. 따라서 EagBI은 PvuI의 isoschizomer이나 NaCl 요구성과 열안정성에서 PvuI보다 편리한 제한효소로 확인되었다.

Electroantennogram(EAG) can be applied to detect odorants since insects have highly specialized olfactory receptors inside their antennae. The characteristics of EAG parameters were investigated for the quantitative measurement of a general odorant using ammonia as a model odorant. The antennae of male silkworm moth, Bombyx mori, were used for the EAG. The electical signal curves generated from a pair of antennae originating from the same silkworm moth were never identical; however, they exhibited a typical type I or type II characteristic curve pattern for every pair of antennae. The correlation between the EAG parameters and the ammonia concentration was analyzed for the type I and type II antennae. The stability of each parameter was also investigated for each type of antenna. The results show the possibility of the quantitative measurement of general odorants using the EAG technique.

Esculetin 6-O-β-D-arabinofuranosyl-(1 → 6)-β-D-glucopyranoside (EAG) is a coumarin glycoside isolated from the stem bark of Fraxinus rhynchophylla. This study scrutinized the anti-proliferative activity of EAG on blood cancer-derived Jurkat leukemic cells. Cell viability assays in leukemic cancer cells determined that EAG possesses potent anti-proliferative effects. Moreover, treatment with EAG increased the proportion of apoptotic cells, resulted in cell cycle arrest being induced at the subG0/G1 phase, and reduced the proportion of cells present in the S phase. In addition, mitochondrial membrane potential was reduced by EAG in Jurkat cells. Additionally, EAG triggered apoptosis that was mediated by the downregulation of BCL-XL, p-IκBα, and p-p65 expressions in addition to the upregulation of cleaved Caspase 3 and BAX expressions. These findings revealed that the toxic effect of EAG was mediated by intracellular signal transduction pathways that involved a mechanism in which reactive oxygen species (ROS) were upregulated. Thus, this study concludes that EAG could potentially serve as a therapeutic agent for leukemia.

배추좀나방의 성 페로몬을 새로운 방법으로 합성하여 EAG감응반응을 수행하였다. 프로파길알코올의 이중음이온을 알킬화하여 2-도데신-1-올을 얻고 이를 아세틸렌-지퍼반응에 의해 11-도데신-1-올로 전환시킨 다음, 다시 이중음이온 알킬화반응에 의해 11-헤사데신-1올을 얻었다. 이를 수소환원시켜 (Z)-11-헥사데센-1-올 (3)을 얻었고 이 알코올을 산화시켜 (Z)-11-헥사데센-1-알(1)을, 아세틸화시켜 (Z)-11-헥사데센-1-일 아세테이트(2)를 각각 얻었다. 이렇게 합성하여 얻어진 화합물 각각 또는 혼합물에 대해 배추좀나방의 ESG감응반응을 측정하였다.

The aim of the present study is to investigate whether an ethanol extract of Acorus gramineus Soland (EAG) augments penile erection in vitro and in vivo experiment. Preconstructed with phenylephrine (PE) in isolated endothelium-intact rabbit corpus cavernosum, EAG relaxed penile smooth muscle in a dose-dependent manner, which was inhibited by pretreatment with NG-nitro-L-argininemethylester (L-NAME), a nitricoxide synthase inhibitor, and 1H-[1,2,4]-oxadiazole-[4,3-${\alpha}$]-quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ), a soluble guanylylcyclase (sGC) inhibitor, respectively. EAG-induced relaxation was significantly attenuated by pretreatment with tetraethylammonium (TEA), a nonselective $K^+$ channel blocker. EAG increased cGMP levels of the rabbit corpus cavernosum in a concentration-dependent manner without changes in cAMP levels. In addition, EAG caused increase of peak intracavernous pressure (ICP), ICP/MAP ratio and area under the carve (AUC) in SD rats. Taken together, these results suggest that EAG augments penile erection via NO-cGMP system and $K^+$ channels in corpus cavernosum.

The investigation of electroantennogram (EAG) using insect antennad has been primarily focused on the measurement of insect pheromone. Insect has highly specialized olfactroy receptors inside their antennae. In this paper, EAG was applied to detect general oborants and the feasibility of this system for the olfactroy biosensor was investigated. Electroantennogram measurement was carried out using the antennae of male silkworm moth, bombyx mori, and ammonia gas as the model odorant. EAG parametres including peak ampiltude increased linearly with the ammonia concentration and the reproducible electrical signals were generated at least for 2 hrs after the antenna was cut off from the sulkworm moth.

본 연구는 성페로몬에 대한 열대거세미나방 수컷 성충의 촉각 반응 및 중복 교미 여부를 확인하기 위해 수행하였다. 성페로몬 성분인 Z9-14:Ac에 대한 열대거세미나방 수컷 성충의 촉각 반응은 농도 의존적으로 농도가 증가할수록 크게 나타났다. 조사한 7성분 중 Z9-14:Ac 성분에 대한 촉각 반응이 가장 컸다. 성페로몬의 혼합 성분에 대한 촉각 반응이 단일 성분에 비해 컸다. 열대거세미나방 수컷 성충은 실험실 조건에서 중복교미가 가능하고, 첫 교미율이 58.3%인데 비해서 두 번째 교미율이 72.2%로 증가하였다. 교미한 수컷 성충의 촉각 반응과 교미하지 않은 수컷 성충의 촉각 반응의 차이가 없었다. 성페로몬 트랩에 교미하지 않은 수컷이 시험기간 중에 포획되지 않았다. 대조구인 교미하지 않은 암컷 성충을 장착한 트랩에서도 교미하지 않은 수컷 성충은 포획되지 않았다. 비록 실내에서 교미한 수컷 성충은 성페로몬 성분에 대해 교미하지 않은 수컷 성충처럼 촉각 반응을 보였다고 할지라도 실제 야외 망실 하우스에서 교미를 한번 한 수컷 성충은 비행 능력 등 활력의 문제로 트랩에 포획되지 않았을 가능성이 있다고 생각된다. 야외 노지에서 열대거세미나방 성페로몬에 대한 수컷 성충의 유인 정도는 추후 좀 더 많은 검토가 필요할 것으로 본다.

Pheromone orientation in moths is an exemplar of olfactory sensitivity. To avoid cross mating, the responses of males to pheromone blends must be high specificity and temporal resolution. We tested the effects of olfactory self- and cross-adaptation of pheromone compounds and mixtures in Spodoptera litura moths by electroantennogram (EAG) recordings. The challenge of S. litura antennae to a pulse train of its own pheromone blends of Z9,E11-14:OAc and Z9,E12-14:OAc with 200 ms on/off and 1 s on/off indicated that the repetitive stimulation by 200 ms on/off with high dosages resulted in greater adaptation than that by 1 s on/off with low dosages and the adaptation index of Z9,E11-14:OAc in all treatments is significantly larger than that of Z9,E12-14:OAc, suggesting that high dosages with more frequent stimulation prefer to induce sensory adaptations and a different odor coding exist between the two components in the antennal periphery in this moth. The cross-adaptation EAG test among the two pheromone compounds and Z7-12:OAc and Z9-14:OH from congeneric species of S. litura showed that each of these compounds adapted the antenna more to that specific compound. The significantly higher adaptation to Z7-12:OAc and Z9-14:OH than to the pheromone components of S. litura induced by themselves suggested that both of them are coded by specific odor receptor neurons which are different from those tuned to the pheromone components of S. litura . Thus, we proposed that Z7-12:OAc and Z9-14:OH may play an important role in avoidance of heterospecific mating between S. litura and its sympatric moth species.

합성 성페로몬의 담배나방(Helicoverpa assulta (G.))에 대한 생물학적 활성을 알아보기 위하여 촉각전도 측정, 반응 행동 관찰 및 야외 유인실험을 하였다. 담배나방 성페로몬의 주성분인 Z9-16:Aid와 Z11-16:Aid 는 모두 수컷에서 큰 촉각전도반응을 보였으며 이들의 혼합 비율은 촉각전도반응 크기에 영향을 주지 않았다. 담배나방 암컷은 두 페로몬 주성분에 대해서는 촉각전도반응을 나타내지 않았으며, 기주식물인 고추기름에만 큰 촉각전도반응을 보였다. 처리량이 0.01~10$\mug$ 일때는 페로몬의 양이 증가함에 따라서 촉각전도 반응도 증가했으나 100$\mug$을 처리했을 때에는 오히려 반응의 크기가 줄어들거나 10$\mug$처리시와 같았다. 풍동에서 담배나방 수컷은 일련의 규칙적인 반응행동들을 나타냈다. 이 반응 행동들은 성페로몬의 두 주성분 비율에 따라 달랐으며, 미량 성분인 16:1 Aid와 Z9-16:Ac 를 첨가했을 때에는 교미행동까지 나타냈다. 야외에서 트랩을 이용하여 유인력을 검정한 결과 Z9-16:Aid와 Z11-16:Aid의 비율이 20~25:1 일 때 유인력이 가장 컸으며 여기에 Z9-16:OH가 첨가되었을때에는 다른 성분의 비율에 관계없이 유인력이 아주 낮았다. 함성 성페로몬의 유인력은 미교미암컷의 유인력보다 강한 것으로 판명되었다.
