This study was performed to identify the antioxidant and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activities of water and 70% ethanol extracts of the three following herbs: G. procumbens, M. charantia, and C. longa. In addition, the antioxidant and antidiabetic activities of five types of Jerusalem artichoke composites (JA1 - 5), which were prepared by adding ethanol extracts of several herbs to Jerusalem artichoke concentrate, were studied and compared. The results showed that the total phenol and flavonoid contents of the ethanol extracts were higher than those of the water extracts. The DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities and reducing power depended on the total phenol and flavonoid contents. The antioxidant activities of ethanol extracts from G. procumbens and C. longa were comparable. Moreover, the ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activity of the ethanol extracts ($2,000{\mu}g/ml$) from each herb was found to be over 50%. In contrast, the five types of JA composites showed higher total phenol and flavonoid contents than those of JA concentrate. In addition, increased antioxidant and ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitory activities were observed, with that of JA1 being the highest. However, all concentrations ($1{\sim}100{\mu}g/ml$) of JA tested did not affect the cell viability of Chang cells. In addition, JA induced the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in Chang cells and significantly increased the glucose uptake in C2C12 cells. Therefore, it could be concluded that the JA composites (JA1 - 5) mixed with G. procumbens, M. charantia, and C. longa extracts were effective in increasing the extracts' antioxidant and antidiabetic activities.

To temperature-compensate the Bragg wavelength of fiber grating filters two materials with different thermal expansion coefficients were depolyed for packaging. After temperature-compensation packaging the maximum difference of the Bragg wavelength in the temperature range of $-10^{\circ}C$ to $70^{\circ}C$ was 0.03nm, which is only about one thirtiety of the Bragg wavelength shift of the temperature-uncompensated fiber grating filter.

The variations of crystalline structures and physical proerties of serpentine and talc mineral which was treated in a planetary ball mill, wre investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, FT-IR, DSC-TG, particle size analysis and SEM observation. The crystalline peaks of serpentine and talc in the XRD patterns were gradually reduced with the increase of grinding time and after 120 minutes turned into the amorphous phase, which is attributed to the disordering of the local structure around magnesium. The endothermic peaks for the ground serpentine and talc sample are observed at a considerably lower temperatures than that for the starting sample. A morphological change from the originally flat and irregular shape to spherically agglomerated particles was clearly observed.

Leuconostoc mesenteroides B-512FMCM, 742CB3, 1299C의 dextransucrase들의 glycosyl기 전이 특성을 수용체 반응과 transglycosylation반응을 통해 확인하였다. 수용체 반응의 경우 10% sucrose에 수용체로 4% maltose를 첨가하여 반응시켰고 transglycosylation반응은 다른 크기, 다른 농도 그리고 다른 종류의 가지 결합의 dextran 을 합성하는 효소들을 이용하여 수행하였다. 각각의 효소들은 maltose를 이용한 수용체 반응에서 유사한 종류의 수용체 산물들을 합성한 것에 비해 세 dextransucrase들 (512FMCM, 742CB3, 1299C) 을 일정 비율로 혼합하여 maltose를 이용한 수용체 반응 결과 512FMCM 효소의 활성 비율을 줄이고 742CB3, 1299C 효소의 활성 비율을 증가시켰을 경우에는 ${\alpha}-1{\rightarrow}$3 의 가지결합이 많은 dextran 을 합성하였다. 또한, 세 가지 다른 구조의 dextran(T40, 742CB, B1299)에 100mM maltose을 수용체로 첨가해 각각의 dextransucrase(512FMCM, 742CB3, 1299C)와 transgly cosylation을 수행한 결과 1299C 효소가 세 종류의 dextran(T40, 742CB, B1299) 에 모두 가지 결합이 많은 dextran을 합성함을 확인하였다. 또한 ${\alpha}-1{\rightarrow}$6 결합으로 주로 이루어진 2%, 5% dextran(T10, T40, T7O, T500, T2000)에 dextransucrase(512FMCM, 742CB3, 1299C)를 반응시켜 기존의 dextran 보다 가지 결합이 더 많이 형성된 transglycosylation 산물을 합성하였다. 이때 maltose를 첨가했을 경우 이 수용 체에 의해 많은 ${\alpha}-1{\rightarrow}$6 가지 결합의 dextran 을 합성함을 확인하였다.

We report a glycoside hydrolase (GH)-118 ${\beta}$-agarase from a strain of Agarivorans, in which we previously reported recombinant expression and characterization of the GH-50 ${\beta}$-agarase. The GH comprised an open reading frame of 1,437 base pairs, which encoded a protein of 52,580 daltons consisting of 478 amino acid residues. Assessment of the entire sequence showed that the enzyme had 97% nucleotide and 99% amino acid sequence similarities to those of GH-118 ${\beta}$-agarase from Pseudoalteromonas sp. CY24, which belongs to a different order within the same class. The gene corresponding to a mature protein of 440 amino acids was inserted, recombinantly expressed in Escherichia coli, and purified to homogeneity with affinity chromatography. It had maximal activity at $35^{\circ}C$ and pH 7.0 and had 208.1 units/mg in the presence of 300 mM NaCl and 1 mM $CaCl_2$. More than 80% activity was maintained after 2 h exposure to $35^{\circ}C$; however, < 40% activity remained at $45^{\circ}C$. The enzyme hydrolyzed agarose to yield neoagarooctaose as the main product. This enzyme could be useful for industrial production of functional neoagarooligosaccharides.

In prostate cancer, the androgen receptor (AR) transcription factor is a major regulator of cell proliferation and metastasis. To identify new AR regulators, we focused on Mixed lineage leukemia 5 (MLL5), a histone-regulating enzyme, because significantly higher MLL5 expression was detected in prostate cancer tissues than in matching normal tissues. When we expressed shRNAs targeting MLL5 gene in prostate cancer cell line, the growth rate and AR activity were reduced compared to those in control cells, and migration ability of the knockdown cells was reduced significantly. To determine the molecular mechanisms of MLL5 on AR activity, we proved that AR physically interacted with MLL5 and other co-factors, including SET-1 and HCF-1, using an immunoprecipitation method. The chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis showed reduced binding of MLL5, co-factors, and AR enzymes to AR target gene promoters in MLL5 shRNA-expressing cells. Histone H3K4 methylation on the AR target gene promoters was reduced, and H3K9 methylation at the same site was increased in MLL5 knockdown cells. Finally, xenograft tumor formation revealed that reduction of MLL5 in prostate cancer cells retarded tumor growth. Our results thus demonstrate the important role of MLL5 as a new epigenetic regulator of AR in prostate cancer.
