Phthalimido기와 2,2,2-trichloroethyl기는 acetic acid와 같은 산성용매에서 zine dust에 의하여 각각 3-hydroxyphthalimidino기로 환원 되거나 혹은 환원분해된다. 그러나 THF-pH 4.5 buffer 혼합용매를 사용하므로써, free carboxylic acid가 존재하지 않는 경우, phthalimido는 환원시키지 않고 2,2,2-trichloroethyl기만을 선택적으로 환원분해시킬 수 있음을 발견하였다. 따라서 $2,2,2-trichloroethyl 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-{\beta}-D-glucopyranose$ (1)를 THF-pH 4.5 butter 혼합용매에서 zinc dust와 반응시키면, 2,2,2-trichloroethyl 기만이 선택적으로 환원분해된 $3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-{\beta}-D-glucopyranose$ (5)를 좋은 수득율로 얻을 수 있었다.

The current study examined the effects of freeze-dried mulberry fruit on disaccharidase activity in the small intestine and the lowering of blood glucose in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Sprague-Dawley male rats were randomly assigned to one normal and three streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic groups. The diabetic groups were fed a mulberry fruit-free diet (DM-group), 0.3% mulberry fruit diet (DM-F group) or 0.6% mulberry fruit diet (DM-2F group). After they were fed the experimental diets for three weeks, diabetes was induced with an intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin 50 mg/kg b.w before sacrificing 9 days later using the same experimental treatments. Analyses of anthocyanins, flavonoid and 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) of lyophilized mulberry fruit were carried out and the major anthocyanins were rutin (142.5 mg), isoquercitrin (10.3 mg), quercetin (5.8 mg), morin (1.6 mg) dihydroquercetin (3.83 mg), cy-3-O-glucopyranoside (230.45 mg) and cy-3-O-rutinoside (131.5 mg) on the basis of 100 g dry weight. Total DNJ content was 2.39 mg/g dry weight of lyophilized mulberry fruit. Blood glucose level decreased in the diabetic mts fed the mulberry fruit supplement. The content of the liver glycogen increased in the diabetic mts fed the mulberry fruit supplement. Disaccharidase activity in the proximal part of the intestine, such as that of maltase, sucrase and lactase in the mulberry fruit supplementation groups, were lower than that of the DM group. These results suggest that mulberry fruit possess a suppressive effect on hyperglycemia, possibly by inhibiting the activity of disaccharidase in the small intestine of rats.

A ${\beta}$-glucosidase from Penicillium italicum was purified with a specific activity of 61.8 U/mg, using a chromatography system. The native form of the enzyme was an 88.5-kDa tetramer with a molecular mass of 354 kDa. Optimum activity was observed at pH 4.5 and $60^{\circ}C$, and the half-lives were 1,737, 330, 34, and 1 hr at 50, 55, 60, and $65^{\circ}C$, respectively. Its activity was inhibited by 47% by 5 mM $Ni^{2+}$. The enzyme exhibited hydrolytic activity for p-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (pNP-Glu), p-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-D-cellobioside, p-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-D-xyloside, and cellobiose, however, no activity was observed for p-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-D-lactopyranoside, p-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-D-galactopyranoside, carboxymetyl cellulose, xylan, and cellulose, indicating that the enzyme was a ${\beta}$-glucosidase. The $k_{cat}/K_m\;(s^{-1}mM^{-1})$ values for pNP-Glu and cellobiose were 15,770.4 mM and 6,361.4 mM, respectively. These values were the highest reported for ${\beta}$-glucosidases. Non-competitive inhibition of the enzyme by both glucose ($K_i=8.9mM$) and glucono-${\delta}$-lactone ($K_i=11.3mM$) was observed when pNP-Glu was used as the substrate. This is the first report of non-competitive inhibition of ${\beta}$-glucosidase by glucose and glucono-${\delta}$-lactone.

The ${\beta}-glucosidase$ from olive fruit is of particular interest compared to the ones from other sources because it has shown to have high specifity to convert the oleuropein into dialdehydes, which have antibacterial activity and are of high interest for their application in the food and pharmaceutical fields. The enzyme is not yet commercially available and advanced clean and safe technologies for its purification able to maintain the functional stability are foreseen. The purification of this protein from fruit extracts has been already tempted by electrophoresis but either enzyme deactivation or high background with unclear profiles occurred. In this work, fruit extracts obtained from the ripening stage that showed the highest enzyme activity have been processed by diafiltration and ultrafiltration. Asymmetric membranes made of polyamide or polysulphone having 50 and 30 kDa molecular weight cut-off, respectively, were tested for the diafiltration process. Ultrafiltration membranes made of polyethersulfone with 4 kDa molecular weight cut-off were used to concentrate the dia-filtered permeate solutions. The efficiency of the separation processes was evaluated byenzyme activity tests using the hydrolysis of p-D-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside (pNPGlc) as reaction model. Qualitative and quantitative electrophoresis were applied to analyze the composition of protein solution before and after the membrane separation; in addition dot blot and western blot analyses were applied to verify the presence of ${\beta}-glucosidase$ in the processed fractions. The overall results showed that the ${\beta}-glucosidase$ functional stability was preserved during the membrane operations and the removal of 20 kDa proteins allowed to increase the specific activity of the enzyme of about 52% compared to the one present in the initial fruit extract.

Chitin을 35 mesh로 분쇄하여 강산과 강알카리로 처리하여 CHITA와 CHITB를 만들고 여기에 glutaraldehyde를 작용시켜 $\beta$-glucosidase를 고정하여 CHITA-Gase 및 CHITB-Gase를 제조하였다. 이 두 종류의 고정화 효소를 기질 p-nitropheol-$\beta$-D-gliucopyranoside(PNG)과 회분식 반응기, 연속 흐름 반응기 및 플러그 흐름 반응기에서 반응시켜 최적 온도, 최적 pH, 반응 속도 상수, 물질 전달 계수, 효율 인자 및 효소 불활성화 속도 등을 구하여 반응기별 효율을 검토하였다. 반응 최적 온도는 세가지의 반응기 모두 5$0^{\circ}C$였으며, 최적 pH는 플러그 흐름 반응기에서는 Nat-Gase와 같이 pH5.0이었고 회분식 반응기 및 연속 흐름 반응기에서는 최적 pH의 이동이 일어나 pH6.0으로 이었다. 반응기의 최적 조건에서 km값은 회분식 반응기에서 CHITB-Gase$1.725$\times$10^-^5M/1$가 CHITA-Gase($1.725$\times$10^-^5M/1$)보다 작았으며, 연속 흐름 반응기 및 플러그 흐름 반응기에서는 유속 증가에 따라 Km'치가 감소하는 경향을 보였고, CHITB-Gase가 CHITB-Gase보다 더 작았다. $V^m^a^x'$값은 회분식 반응기, 연속 흐름 반응기, 플러그 흐름 반응기에서 모두 CHITA-Gase가 CHITB-Gase보다 높은 것으로 나타났다. 그리고, 물질전달계수 및 효율인자, 효소 불활성화 속도등의 값은 환경은 CHITB-Gase의 것이 나은 것으로 나타났다. 이들의 결과에서 CHITA-Gase 및 CHITB-Gase는 기질과의 반응 환경이 좋으므로 chitind은 $\beta$-glucosidase의 좋은 지지체라고 판단되어 공업적 응용이 기대된다.

β-Glucosidase production by the white rot fungus Flammulina velutipes CFK 3111 was evaluated using different carbon and nitrogen sources under submerged fermentation. Maximal extracellular enzyme production was 1.6 U/ml, corresponding to a culture grown in sucrose 40 g/land asparagine 10 g/l. High production yield was also obtained with glucose 10 g/land asparagine 4 g/l medium (0.5 U/ml). Parameters affecting the enzyme activity were studied using p-nitrophenyl-β-_D-glucopyranoside as the substrate. Optimal activity was found at 50℃ and pHs 5.0 to 6.0. Under these conditions, β-glucosidase retained 25% of its initial activity after 12 h of incubation and exhibited a half-life of 5 h. The addition of MgCl₂, urea, and ethanol enhanced the β-glucosidase activity up to 47%, whereas FeCl₂, CuSO₄, Cd(NO₃)₂, and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide inflicted a strong inhibitory effect. Glucose and cellobiose also showed an inhibitory effect on the β-glucosidase activity in a concentration-dependent manner. The enzyme had an estimated molecular mass of 75 kDa. To the best of our knowledge, F. velutipes CFK 3111 β-glucosidase production is amongst the highest reported to date, in a basidiomycetous fungus.

${\beta}$-D-Xylosidase (E.C. 3.2.1.37) from Bifidobacterium breve K-110, which hydrolyzes ginsenoside Ra1 to ginsenoside Rb2, was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The ($His_6$)-tagged recombinant enzyme, designated as XlyBK-110, was efficiently purified using $Ni^{2+}$-affinity chromatography (109.9-fold, 84% yield). The molecular mass of XylBK-100 was found to be 55.7 kDa by SDS-PAGE. Its sequence revealed a 1,347 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding a protein containing 448 amino acids, which showed 82% identity (DNA) to the previously reported glycosyl hydrolase family 30 of Bifidobacterium adolescentis ATCC 15703. The $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ values toward p-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-D-xylopyranoside (pNPX) were 1.45mM and 10.75 ${\mu}mol/min/mg$, respectively. This enzyme had pH and temperature optima at 6.0 and $45^{\circ}C$, respectively. XylBK-110 acted to the greatest extent on xyloglucosyl kakkalide, followed by pNPX and ginsenoside Ra1, but did not act on p-nitrophenyl-${\alpha}$-L-arabinofuranoside, p-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-D-glucopyranoside, or p-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-D-fucopyranoside. In conclusion, this is the first report on the cloning and expression of ${\beta}$-D-xylosidase-hydrolyzing ginsenoside Ra1 and kakkalide from human intestinal microflora.

In this study, we synthesized a glycosylated derivative of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) using the amylosucrase from Deinococcus geothermalis with sucrose as a substrate and examined its solubility, chemical stability, and anti-inflammatory activity. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy showed that the resulting glycosylated CAPE (G-CAPE) was the new compound caffeic acid phenethyl ester-4-O-${\alpha}-{\small{D}}$-glucopyranoside. G-CAPE was 770 times more soluble than CAPE and highly stable in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium and buffered solutions, as estimated by its half-life. The glycosylation of CAPE did not significantly affect its anti-inflammatory activity, which was assessed by examining lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide production and using a nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 reporter assay. Furthermore, a cellular uptake experiment using high-performance liquid chromatography analysis of the cell-free extracts of RAW 264.7 cells demonstrated that G-CAPE was gradually converted to CAPE within the cells. These results demonstrate that the glycosylation of CAPE increases its bioavailability by helping to protect this vital molecule from chemical or enzymatic oxidation, indicating that G-CAPE is a promising candidate for prodrug therapy.
