In this study, the biological activities of Glycyrrhiza uralensis were investigated, including antioxidative, fibrinolytic, thrombin inhibitory, and a-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The hot water extract of Glycyrrhiza uralensis was fractionated into hexane, $CHCl_3$, ethyl acetate, butanol, and water fractions, and each of these fractions were assayed individually. The water fraction showed the highest extraction yield of 19.45% (w/w). Using the DPPH method, the free radical scavenging activity was to be the strongest in the $CHCl_3$ fraction at 89.3%. Using the fibrin plate method, only the butanol fraction showed a substantial plasmin activity of 0.62 units/ml. In thrombin inhibitory activity tests, a 100-fold dilution of the ethyl acetate fraction showed the strongest activity of 46.9%. In the a-glucosidase inhibitory activity assay, a 100-fold dilution of the $CHCl_3$ fraction showed the strongest activity of 80.6%. In conclusion, the combined results of this study demonstrate that the extracts of Glycyrrhiza uralensis can be used as a material for the development of biofunctional foods for diabetics.

We investigated the fibrinolytic and ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory activity of 55 wild mushroom methanol extracts. Among them, 14 mushrooms showed fibrinolytic activity. In particular, Amanita virgineoides showed the greatest enzyme activity (3.9 plasmin units/ml) by a fibrin plate assay. The fibrinolytic activities of Suillus pictus and Polypolellus varius were 3.8 plasmin units, and the activity of Gomphus fujisanensis was 2.8 plasmin units. Leccinum extremiorientale and Xerocomus nigromaculatus had the same activity with 2.3 plasmin units. In a ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory activity test, Lactarius sp. showed the greatest inhibitory activity at 97.3%. The ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory activities of Clitocybe odora, Xerocomus nigromaculatus, Melanoleuca melaleuca, Suillus pictus, and Gyroporus castaneus were 84.3%, 77.9%, 74.6%, 68.7%, and 65.4%, respectively. According to the results, because Suillus pictus and Xerocomus nigromaculatus have strong fibrinolytic and ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ inhibitory activities, the two mushrooms will be used as materials for the development of new biofunctional food.

뽕나무버섯 추출물에서 fibrinolytic enzyme을 분리 정제하였다. 이 효소의 분자량은 약 19800Da 이고 pH 7.0에서 최고의 활성을 보여주는 neutral protease로 $55^{\circ}C$에서 최대 활성을 나타냈다. EDTA에 의해 활성이 저해되는 것으로 보아 metalloprotease로 추정되며 $Hg^{+2}$의 영향을 받아 활성이 상실되었다. N-terminal amino acid 분석 결과 15번째까지의 아미노산 잔기 순서는 X-X-T-N-G-X-T-X-S-R-Q-T-T-L-V 이었으며 지금까지 알려진 것과는 다른 새로운 효소이다.

Objectives : This study was undertaken to identify fibrinolytic proteases from Gloydius blomhoffii siniticus venom and to characterize a major fibrinolytic protease purified from the venom. Methods : The venom was subjected to chromatography using columns of Q-Sepharose and Sephadex G-75. The molecular weights of fibrinolytic proteases showing fibrinolytic zone in fibrin plate assay were determined in SDS-PAGE (Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) The effects of inhibitors and metal ions on fibrinolytic protease and the proteolysis patterns of fibrinogen, gelatin, and bovine serum albumin were investigated. Results : 1) The fibrinolytic fractions of the three peaks isolated from Gloydius blomhoffii siniticus venom contained two polypeptides of 46 and 59 kDa and three polypeptides of 32, 18, and 15 kDa and a major polypeptide of 54 kDa, respectively. 2) The fibrinolytic activity of the purified protease of 54 kDA was inhibited by metal chelators, such as EDTA, EGTA, and 1,10-phenanthroline, and disulfhydryl-reducing compounds, such as dithiothreitol and cysteine. 3) Calcium chloride promoted the fibrinolytic activity of the protease, but mercuric chloride and cobalt(II) chloride inhibited it. 4) The fibrinolytic protease cleaved preferentially A${\alpha}$-chain and slowly B${\beta}$-chain of fibrinogen. It also hydrolyzed gelatin but not bovine serum albumin. Conclusions : The Gloydius blomhoffii siniticus venom contained more than three fibrinolytic proteases. The major fibrinolytic protease was a metalloprotease which hydrolyzed both fibrinogen and gelatin, but not bovine serum albumin.

송이(Tricholoma matsutake Sing.)는 맛과 향기가 뛰어난 고급 기호식품으로서 연간 5,000만 불 이상 수출되어온 고부가가치 작물 중의 하나이다. 본 연구는 냉동송이의 해동시에 유출되는 송이즙의 생리활성을 탐색하고자 항산화 활성, 혈전용해 활성, 항고혈압 활성 등을 측정하였다. 그 결과로 송이즙의 DPPH 라디칼 소거능은 1.0 mg/mL의 농도에서 $48.3{\pm}2.2%$였으며 농도의존적으로 그 활성이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. Fibrin-plate법을 사용하여 알아본 송이즙의 혈전용해 활성은 양성대조구인 plasmin(1 unit/mL)에 비해 약 2배가량 높은 활성을 보였다. 송이즙의 $IC_{50}$은 $1.03^{\circ}$Brix로 나타났으며 양성대조구로 사용된 captopril의 경우에는 약 45.7 nM이었다. 이러한 결과를 종합해 볼 때, 송이즙은 우수한 생리활성을 보임으로써 좋은 가공원료로 이용할 가치가 있음을 확인하였다.

Fibrinolytic enzymes with a direct mechanism of action and safer properties are currently requested for thrombolytic therapy. This paper reports on a new enzyme capable of degrading blood clots directly without impairing blood coagulation. This enzyme is also non-cytotoxic and constitutes an alternative to other thrombolytic enzymes known to cause undesired side effects. Twenty-four Bacillus isolates were screened for production of fibrinolytic enzymes using a fibrin agar plate. Based on produced activity, isolate S127e was selected and identified as B. subtilis using the 16S rDNA gene sequence. This strain is of biotechnological interest for producing high fibrinolytic yield and consequently has potential in the industrial field. The purified fibrinolytic enzyme has a molecular mass of 27.3 kDa, a predicted pI of 6.6, and a maximal affinity for Ala-Ala-Pro-Phe. This enzyme was almost completely inhibited by chymostatin with optimal activity at 48℃ and pH 7. Specific subtilisin features were found in the gene sequence, indicating that this enzyme belongs to the BPN group of the S8 subtilisin family and was assigned as AprE127. This subtilisin increased thromboplastin time by 3.7% (37.6 to 39 s) and prothrombin time by 3.2% (12.6 to 13 s), both within normal ranges. In a whole blood euglobulin assay, this enzyme did not impair coagulation but reduced lysis time significantly. Moreover, in an in vitro assay, AprE127 completely dissolved a thrombus of about 1 cc within 50 min and, in vivo, reduced a thrombus prompted in a rat tail by 11.4% in 24 h compared to non-treated animals.

쓴송이버섯으로부터 분리한 혈전용해효소(TSFE)의 활성은 11.42 U/mg이었으며, N-terminal amino acid 서열은 Ala-Thr-Tyr-Lys-Ile-X-Ser-Ala-Thr-His-Gln-X-X-Leu-Val로 지금까지 발표되지 않은 새로운 효소였다. MALDI-TOF와 ICP/MS로 분자량은 18788.25 Da이며, $Zn^{2+}$을 함유하는 금속효소임을 알게 되었다. 이 효소는 $40^{\circ}C$까지 열에 안정하고, 특히 합성된 기질 Lys pNA를 강하게 분해하였다. $Zn^{2+}$와 $Co^{2+}$에 의해 활성이 증가되고, EDTA, 1,10-phenanthroline, $Hg^{2+}$에 의해서는 활성이 완전히 소멸되었다. 이 효소는 섬유소원의 $A{\alpha}$ chain은 분해하지만, $B{\beta}$ chain과 ${\gamma}$ chain은 분해하지 못했다.

할미송이버섯으로부터 혈전용해효소 (FE-2)를 DEAE-cellulose, Mono-S column으로 분리 정제하였다. 이 효소는 분자량이 18.2 kDa 이었으며, ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer) 분석 결과 $Zn^{2+}$을 포함하고 있었다. 15번째까지의 N-terminal amino acid 서열은 A-L-Y-V-G-X-S-P-X-Q-Q-S-L-L-V이고, pH 7.5에서 활성이 가장 큰 염기성 단백질 분해효소로, EDTA와 1,10-phenanthroline에 의해 활성이 감소되는 metalloprotease였다. $Mg^{2+}$, $Zn^{2+}$, Fe$^{2+}$, Co$^{2+}$의 첨가 시 활성이 증가하였으나 Hg$^{2+}$의 경우 활성이 완전히 소멸되었다. 이 효소 (FE-2)는 단백질 분해효소 저해제인 E-64 (trans-epoxysuccinyl-L-leucylamido-(4-guanidino)-butane), PMSF (phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride), pepstatin 과 2-mercaptoethanol의 영향을 받지 않으며, 섬유소원 (fibrinogen)과 반응 시 $A\alpha$ chain과 B$\beta$ chain은 분해시키지만 $\gamma$ chain과는 반응하지 않았다.

할미송이버섯으로부터 3단계를 거처 분자량이 각각 18 kDa(FE-1)과 18.2 kDa(FE-2)인 두 개의 혈전용해효소를 분리 정제하였다. 이 효소들은 지금까지 알려진 혈전용해 효소의 질량에 비해 비교적 작았고 두 효소(FE-1과 FE-2)의 15번째까지의 N-terminal amino acid서열은 A-L-Y-V-G-X-S-P-X-Q-Q-S-L-L-V로 같았다. FE-1은 ICP-MS의 결과 $Zn^{2+}$을 mole당 0.98 mole 포함하고 있는 metalloprotease로 pH 7.5와 $55^{\circ}C$에서 가장 큰 활성을 나타내고, 1,10-phenanthroline의 첨가 시 저하된 활성은 $Zn^{2+}$나 $Co^{2+}$의 첨가에 의해 재생되었다.
