  • The study was performed to clear the effects of thiamine, biotin, nicotinic acid, pyridoxine, inositol, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) on the mycelial growth and the sclerotial production of Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. isolated from Magnolia kobus. The results are abstracted as follows: 1. Tested fungus was thiamine- deficient and required thiamine 20r/l for maximum growth of mycelia. At higher concentrations than thiamine 20r/l, however, mycelial growth was decreased with increasing the concentrations and was inhibited little less than that of thiamine-free control at 150r/l. 2. The effecfivenesses of the nitrogen sources on the mycelial growth under the thiamine presence were recognized in order of $NH_4NO_3>(NH_4)_2SO_4 >asparagine> KNO_3$, and on the sclerotial production were $KNO_3>NH_4NO_3>asparagine>(NH_4)_2SO_4$. The optimum concentrations of thiamine were about 12r/1 in $KNO_3$, about 16r/1 in asparagine on the growth of mycelia, and were about 8r/l in $KNO_3\;and\; NH_4NO_3,\; 16r/1$ in asparagine on the production of sclerotia. 3. After the organism began to grow, the pH value of cultral filtrate was rapidly dropped down to about 3.5. Hereafter it was slowly fallen down as the growth amount was increased, but was not depreciated below pH 2.2. 4. Nicotinic acid was not effective individually on the mycelial growth and the sclerotial formation of tested fungus without thiamine, but slight effect of it was recognized with thiamine 10r/l, even though maximum growth was shown at 7-10mg/1. Beyond that concentration, however, mycelial growth was rather depressed. 5. When ammonium sulphate or asparagine as the nitrogen sources was used, pyridoxine, biotin and inositol had not any effectivenesses on the mycelial growth and the sclerotial production of examined fungus. 6. In the concentrations of thiamine, biotin, pyridoxine and inositol, as long as thiamine was not added in those, their correlating effects on the growth of the organism were not observed at all. Equivalent or more effects on the mycelial growth were recognized in combinations of thiamin + pyridoxine, thiamine + inositol, thiamine + biotin + pyridoxine, and thiamine + biotin + pyridoxine + inositol compared with thiamino alone, and in combinations of thiamine + biotin and thiamine + biotin + inositol, mycelial growth was inhibited rather than that of thiamine alone. Sclerotial production of those combinations was increased more than that of thiamine alone in dry weight. 7, The little effects of DNA and RNA on the mycelial growth of the organism were recognized compared with the control(DNA-and RNA-free), and RNA was more effective than DNA. Maximum growth of mycelia was observed at RNA 2-6mg/1 and DNA 6mg/l. No effectivenesses on the sclerotial production were recognized in the RNA and DNA. 8. Mycelial growth of the organism was increased with increasing the concentrations of the RNA and the thiamine, that is, the effectiveness of RNA was revealed apparently under presence of thiamine, but was not shown in the sclerotial formation.

  • The objective of this study was to examine the effect of vitamin B (pantothenic acid, folic acid, and myo-inositol) that was supplemented to embryo culture medium on in vitro development of parthenogenetically activated (PA) pig embryos. Cumulus-oocyte complexes derived from slaughtered ovaries were matured in TCM-199 supplemented with porcine follicular fluid, cysteine, pyruvate, EGF, insulin, and hormones (hCG and eCG) for the first 22 h and then further cultured in hormone-free medium for an additional 22 h. After maturation culture, metaphase II oocytes that extruded 1st polar body were electrically activated and treated with $5.0\;{\mu}g/ml$ cytochalasin B for 4 h. Then, PA embryos were cultured for 7 days in a modified NCSU-23 that was supplemented with pantothenic acid, myo-inositol, or folic acid at different concentrations ($3{\sim}300\;{\mu}M$) according to the experimental design. Myo-inositol added to culture medium did not show any beneficial or inhibitory effects on embryo cleavage and blastocyst formation. However, $300\;{\mu}M$ pantothenic acid significantly inhibited blastocyst formation compared to control (no addition) (24% vs. 36%, p<0.05). Folic acid ($300\;{\mu}M$) significantly (p<0.05) increased blastocyst formation (56%) compared to control (41%). Our results demonstrated that in vitro development of PA embryos was significantly influenced by vitamin B and addition of $300\;{\mu}M$ folic acid to culture medium improved in vitro development of pig PA embryos.

  • Inositol hexaphosphate ($IP_6$) is a major constituent of most cereals, legumes, nuts, oil seeds and soybean. Previous studies reported the anticancer effect of $IP_6$ and suggested that co-treatment of $IP_6$ with inositol may enhance anticancer effect of $IP_6$. Although the anticancer effect of $IP_6$ has been intensively studied, the combinational effect of $IP_6$ and inositol and involved mechanisms are not well understood so far. In the present study, we investigated the effect of $IP_6$ and myo-inositol (MI) on cell cycle regulation and apoptosis using PC3 prostate cancer cell lines. When cell, were co-treated with $IP_6$ and MI, the extent of cell growth inhibition was significantly increased than that by $IP_6$ alone. To identify the effect of $IP_6$ and MI on apoptosis, the activity of caspase-3 was measured. The caspase-3 activity was significantly increased when cells were treated with either $IP_6$ alone or both $IP_6$ and MI, with no significant enhancement by co-treatment. To investigate the effect of $IP_6$ and MI of cell cycle arrest, we measured p21 mRNA expression in PC3 cells and observed significant increase in p21 mRNA by $IP_6$. But synergistic regulation by co-treatment with $IP_6$ and MI was not observed. In addition, there was no significant effect by co-treatment compared to $IP_6$ treatment on the regulation of cell cycle progression although $IP_6$ significantly changed cell cycle distribution in the presence of MI or not. Therefore, these findings support that $IP_6$ has anticancer function by induction of apoptosis and regulation of cell cycle. However, synergistic effect by MI on cell cycle regulation and apoptosis was not observed in PC3 prostate cancer cells.

  • The one event on signalling mechanism is the cleavage by adenyl cyclase of ATP into second messenger, cyclic AMP. The other transfer system of inositol metabolism. it is widely recognized that hydrolysis of the minor membrane lipid phosphoinositide bisphosphate($PIP_2$) initiated by occupation of certain receptors and catalyzed by phospholipase C, lead to toe generation of the two intracellular messengers, inositol triphosphate($IP_3$) and diacylglycerol(DG). $IP_3$ is converted to inositol tetrakisphosphate($IP_4$) by $IP_3$ kinase. In the present study, it is that purification of calmodulin is used by phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B chromatography. it's molecular weigh, 17.000 in SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In order to observe the affinity between calmodulin (CaM)-Affigel 15 and $IP_3$ kinase, and isolated $IP_3$ kinase, was applied in CaM-Affigel with $Ca^{2+}$ equilibirum buffer and EGTA equilibirum buffer. We compared with binding and elution effect of $IP_3$ kinase in several condition of buffer. In affinity of binding. $Ca^{2+}$ equilibrium buffer was in the most proper condition. and elution, CaM/$Ca^{2+}$ buffer(CE1 10.36, CE2 12. 76pM/min/mg of protein) was effected much more than EGTA buffer(E2 1.48, E3 2.43pM/min/mg of protein), but CaM/$Ca^{2+}$ stimulate the activity of $IP_3$ kinase. And then, several detergents such as sodium deoxycholate, tween 20. cholic acid, polyethylene glycol, chaps were applied. The 0.2% chaps buffer(E2 23.19, E3 8.05pM/min/mg of protein) was the most effective in elution of $IP_3$ kinase.

  • We have previously demonstrated that sodium molybdate(Mo) improved lead-intoxicated status by enhancing the metabolism of mao-inositol-related phospholipids in sciatic nerves isolated from rats. In this study, in order to address the reduction mechanism of Mo for lead toxicity, effects of Mo on cystidine-diglyceride transferase, phosphatidylinositol kinase, and phosphatidyl inositol-4-phosphate kinase, involved in mao-inositol metabolism of nerve, were investigated in vivo and in vitro. Mo significantly increased the activities of cystidine- diglyceride transferase and phosphatidylinositol kinase in lead-intoxicated rat, and the pattern of increase was dose-dependent manner. However, Mo did not affect the activity of phosp- hatidylinositiol-4-phosphate kinase in normal and lead-intoxicated rats. We also found that Mo affected the activities of phopholipid metabolism-related enzymes not by the indirect manner such as activation of another metabolic pathway but by the direct manner. These results suggest that the improvement mechanism of Mo for lead-intoxicated status might be a normalization of the activities of phospholipid metabolism-related enzymes in sciatic nerve.

  • This study is the first report of the entire nucleotide sequence of an inositol phosphoceramide synthase gene from the stress-tolerant yeast Pichia kudriavzevii (PkAUR1). Sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame that spans 1,443 bp and encodes a 480-amino-acid-residue protein with the highest sequence similarity (41.7%) to Aur1 from Spathaspora passalidarum. A phenotypic assay with transformed S. cerevisiae and P. kudriavzevii indicated that two amino acid residues, Phe166 and Gly249, play crucial roles in the resistance to aureobasidin A, which is consistent with previous reports for other fungal Aur1s. The GenBank Accession No. for PkAUR1 is KP729614.

  • The phytase(myo-inositol hexkisphosphate phosphohydrolase ; EC 3.1.3.8) activity was observed only in the homogenate of intestinal mucosa, though the activity of alkaline phisphatase was measurable in various organs. In addition, no protein bands were detected in any other organs on immunoblotting using the anti-90kDa phytase antiserum. Thses results suggest that phytase is specifically present in small intestinal mucosa, and that hydrolysis of phytic acid(inositol-hexakisphosphate) can be allotted for a physiological role of the intestine-specific enzyme. The activities of phytase was increased during development of rat. The 70kDa phytase appeared just after birth, but the 90kDa phytase was not observed until adult period, suggesting that the 90kDa phytase was synthesized in response to weanling.

  • Phytic acid (myo-inositol hexaphosphate or IP6) is the major storage form of phosphorus in cereals and legumes, representing 18 to 88% of the total phosphorus. Phytate form of phosphorus is not readily utilized by monogastric animals and this result causes pollution problem by phosporus released in areas of intensive livestock production. The interaction between phytic acid and essential dietary minerals, protein, or vitamins is considered to be one of the primary factors limiting the nutritional values of cereals and legunes in monogastric animals. Attempts have been made to hydrolyze dietary phytic acid by phytases to improve the feed quality and to decrease the amount of phosphorus excreted by animals. Phytase(myo-inositol hexakisphosphate phosphohydrolase) hydrolyzes phytic acid to myo-inositol and phosphoric acid. Two types of phytases are known: 3-phytase (EC 3.1.3.8) and 6-phytase (EC 3.1.3.26), indicating the intial attack to the susceptable phosphoester bond. Because of its great industrial importance, there is ongoing interest in isolating new bacterial strains producing novel and efficient phytases.
