  • Generally known psittacosis or ornithosis is a disease of birds caused by the bacterium Chlamydia psittaci. Humans are accidential hosts and are most commonly infected from avian sources. It raises hepatitis or neurosis. As major outer membrane protein (MOMP) of Chlamydia psittaci has been known to play a role in the avoidance of host immune defenses, research on developing a Chlamydia vaccine has focused on the MOMP. In this study, the gene encoding the major outer membrane protein (MOMP) of the Chlamydia psittaci strain 6BC was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli strain M-15. The recombinant DNA was cloned by fusion prokaryotic expression vector pQE30-GFPII. Expression of the recombinant protein was performed in E. coli and was induced by IPTG. The size of expressed recombinant protein is 74.220 kDa (MOMP, 43.260 kDa; GFP expression region, 30 kDa; $6{\times}His$ tag, 960Da). This protein was purified by using his-tagging-inclusion body. Recombinant protein was reconfirmed through ELISA test and western blot with antibody against pQE30-GFPII. It will be useful antibody development.

  • Cultured meat is under investigation as an environmentally sustainable substitute for conventional animal-derived meat. Employing a scaffolding technique is one approach to developing cultured meat products. The objective of this research was to compare soy and pea protein in the production of hydrogel scaffolds intended for cultured meat. We examined the gelation process, physical characteristics, and the ability of scaffolds to facilitate cell adhesion using mesenchymal stem cells derived from porcine adipose tissue (ADSCs). The combination of soy and pea proteins with agarose and agar powders was found to generate solid hydrogels with a porous structure. Soy protein-based scaffolds exhibited a higher water absorption rate, whereas scaffolds containing agarose had a higher compressive strength. Based on Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis, the number of hydrophobic interactions increased between proteins and polysaccharides in the scaffolds containing pea proteins. All scaffolds were nontoxic toward ADSCs, and soy protein-based scaffolds displayed higher cell adhesion and proliferation properties. Overall, the soy protein-agarose scaffold was found to be optimal for cultured meat production.

  • In the previous studies, one of our author had observed the obligatory nitrogen losses through urine and feces in young Korean male adults, and utilization of whole egg protein in Korean young adults with ordinary intake of energy as a basic study for estimating protein requirements of Korean. This study has tried to determine the protein requirement and utilization when subjects ate the Korean mixed diet at the energy level of 45 kcal per Kg body weight per day. Six healthy Korean young female adults, college students, aged $20{\sim}25$ years old, and $45{\sim}61Kg$ of body weight participated as the study subjects. They were given isocaloric diets with four different protein levels for five days each successively. These diets contained protein levels of 0.45, 0.60, 0.75 and 0.90g per Kg of body weight per day, respectively. It was attempted to observe energy and protein intake, urinary and fecal nitrogen losses, true digestibility of protein, net protein utilization of protein in the body over last two days of period of eating each diet and nitrogen balances were calculated. The body weight change and hematological observation were also performed. The results obtained were summarized as follows ; 1) True digestibility of protein of Korean mixed diets ranged from 83.1% to 86.5% and the average of which was $84.7{\pm}1.7%$. 2) Net protein utilization rate of Korean mixed diets was range of 49% to 55% and the average of which was $52{\pm}3%.$ 3) The body weight of subjects were slightly increased and the values of hemoglobin and hematocrit of the blood were also little increased during the experimental periods of twenty days. 4) Protein requirements of Korean mixed diet with the energy level of 45 kcal/Kg body weight per day of Korean young female adults were estimated as 1.00g/Kg/day on this experimental condition.

  • Various cinnamaldehyde derivatives were synthesized and their inhibition activity $(pI_{50})$ of farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase) was measured to examine the structure-activity relationships (SAR) on the basis that FPTase was inhibited by ortho-hydroxycinnamaldehyde derived from extracts of the bark of Cinnamomum cassia Blume. The ortho-substituents on the phenyl backbone of cinnamaldehyde showed higher activity than those with meta- and para-substituents, and the side chain required unsaturated aldehyde. In particular, 2-chlorocinnamaldehyde, 5 showed the highest inhibition activity on the FPTase among them and its inhibition activity $(pI_{50})$ value was 4.45.

  • Subcellular localization is a key functional char acteristic of proteins. With the number of sequences entering databanks rapidly increasing, the importance of developing a powerful tool to identify protein subcellular location has become self-evident. In this paper, we introduce a novel method for predic ting protein subcellular locations from protein sequences. The main idea was motivated from the observation that amino acid pair composition data is redundant. By classifying from multiple feature subsets and using many kinds of amino acid pair composition s, we forced the classifiers to make uncorrelated errors. Therefore when we combined the predictors using a voting scheme, the prediction accuracy c ould be improved. Experiment was conducted on several data sets and significant improvement has been achieve d in a jackknife test.

  • In the process of protein transcription and translation, various protein complexes bind to DNA, and all processes are precisely controlled. Among the proteins constituting this complex, a peptide derived from eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 2 was synthesized. In addition, in order to increase the efficiency of transduction of this peptide into cells, peptides with polyarginine, one of the protein transduction domains (PTD), were synthesized. Cell growth inhibition was confirmed in HER2 positive breast cancer (SK-Br-3) and HER2 negative breast cancer (MDA-MB-231), and cardiomyocytes (H9c2). The peptide with polyarginine had high transduction efficiency in all cells, and had excellent cancer cell growth inhibitory effects. The peptide used in this study might be useful peptide therapeutics for the treatment of cancer through future research.
