An ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitor was developed from Aspergillus oryzae N159-1, which was screened from traditional fermented Korean foods. The intracellular concentration of the inhibitor reached its highest level when the fungus was cultured in tryptic soy broth medium at $27^{\circ}C$ for five days. The inhibitor was purified using a series of purification steps involving ultrafiltration, Sephadex G-25 gel permeation chromatography, strong cation exchange solid phase extraction, reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography, and size exclusion chromatography. The final yield of the purification was 1.9%. Results of the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis indicated that the purified ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitor was a tri-peptide, Pro-Phe-Pro, with the molecular weight of 360.1 Da. The IC50 value of the peptide against ${\alpha}$-glucosidase activity was 3.1 mg/mL. Using Lineweaver-Burk plot analysis, the inhibition pattern indicated that the inhibitor acts as a mixed type inhibitor.

Phenylpyropenes A, B, and C, isolated from Penicillium griseofulvum F1959, inhibited DGAT in rat liver microsomes with $IC_{50}$ values of $78.7{\pm}1.6$, $21.7{\pm}0.2$, and $11.04{\pm}0.2{\mu}M$, respectively. In addition, a kinetic analysis using a Lineweaver-Burk plot revealed that phenylpyropene C was a noncompetitive inhibitor of DGAT. The apparent Michaelis constant ($K_m$) value and inhibition constant ($K_i$) value were calculated to be $8{\mu}M$ and $10.48{\mu}M$, respectively. Moreover, phenylpyropene C inhibited triglyceride formation in HepG2 cells.

In vitro physiological functions such as jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis) urease inhibitory activity and retarding effect of glucose/bile acid of Aloe vera gel concentrated by the optimized DIS (Dewatering Impregnation & Soaking) process conditions were examined. Urease inhibitory activity of DIS aloes ranged from 84.6 to 94.4%, which was similar to or higher than 86.3% of fresh aloe. Also, urease inhibitory activity of DIS aloes was maintained at initial levels after heat treatment (90$^{\circ}C$, 10 min.) and drying treatment (freeze or hot air drying). Urease inhibition pattern from Lineweaver-Burk plot indicated general non-competitive inhibition, and inhibition constants ($K_{IE}$ and $K_{IES}$) of DIS aloes were 41-149 and 87-163 $\mu$L/mL, respectively. DIS(glucose) and DIS(polyethylene glycol) exhibited the highest retarding effect of glucose and bile acid. Their retarding effects were about 1.6 and 1.8 folds higher than that of fresh aloe after 0.5 and 1 hr of the dialysis, respectively. Conclusively, the above in vitro physiological functions of Aloe vera gel concentrated by DIS process suggested that aloe products treated with DIS would have the potential benefits for protection against Helicobacter pylori and reduction of blood glucose and cholesterol levels.

Ganoderma lucidum이 생산하는 polygalacturonase의 유용활용 방안을 위한 효소의 특성을 연구하기 위하여 버섯배양물로부터 효소를 생산하고 정제하여 그 특성을 검토한 결과는 다음과 같다. Endo-polygalacturonase는 배양여액으로부터 ammonium sulfate 침전, Biogel P-100, DEAE-cellulose, Sehpadex G-150 column chromatography에 의하여 순차적으로 정제되었고, Sehpadex G-150 column chromatography에서 re-gel filtration까지 실시한 결과 specific activity가 892unit/mg protein로 배양여액보다도 약 56배의 정제도를 나타냈으며, exo-polygalacturonase는 ammonium sulfate침전, Biogel P-100, DEAE-cellulose column chromatography까지 부분정제한 결과 9.2배의 정제도를 나타냈다. SDS polyacrylamide gel에서 전기영동을 실시한 결과 단일 band를 나타냈으며, 분자량은 54,000 dalton이었다. Endo-polygalacturonase와 exo-polygalacturonase는 citrus pectin이나 pectic acid보다 apple pectin에 친화도가 높았으며, Lineweaver-Burk plot로부터 계산된 apple pectin에 대한 Km 치는 각각 1.44와 10.6 mg/ml이었다. 이 두 효소의 작용 최적 pH는 4.0이었으나 pH 안정성에서는 endo-polygalacturonase는 $pH\;4.0{\sim}6.0$에서, exo-polygalacturonase는 $pH\;3.5{\sim}5.5$ 범위에서 안정하였다. 효소반응 최적 온도는 endo-polygalacturonase는 $40^{\circ}C$ 이었으나 exo-polygalacturonase는 $60^{\circ}C$에서 최대의 활성을 나타냈고 열안정성도 exo-polygalacturonase가 endo-polygalacturonase보다 더 높은 온도에서도 안정하였다. 또한 endo-polygalacturonase는 $Ca^{++}$ 과 $Mn^{++}\;ion$에, exo-polygalacturonase에는 $Ca^{++}\;ion$에 의해 효소반응이 촉진되었다.

MR-387A [(2S, 3R)-2-hydroxy-3-amino-4-phenylbutanoyl-L-valyl-L-prolyl-(2, 4-trans)- L-4-hydroxy-proline] reversibly inhibits aminopeptidase N (BC 3.4.11.2) in a process that is remarkable for its unusual degree of time dependence. The time required to inactivate the enzyme by 50$%$ ($t_{1/2}$) for establishing steady-state levels of $EI^*$complex was approximately 5 minutes. This indicates that the inhibition is a slow-binding process. In dissociation experiments of $EI^*$ complex, enzymic activity was regained slowly in a quadratic equation, indicating that the inhibition of aminopeptidase N by MR-387A is tight-binding and reversible. Thus, the binding of MR-387A by aminopeptidase N is slow and tight, with $K_{i}$ (for initial collision complex, EI) and $K_i{^*}$ (for final tightened complex, $EI^*$) of $2.2\times10^{-8}$ M (from Lineweaver-Burk plot) and $4.4\times10^{-10}$ M (from rate constants), respectively. These data indicate that MR-387A and aminopeptidase N are bound approximately 200-fold more tightly in the final $EI^*$complex than in the initial collision EI complex.

The human cDNA clone UDPGTh2, encoding a liver UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UDPGT), was isolated from a .gamma.gt 11 cDNA library by hybridization to mouse transferase cDNA clone, UDPGTm1. The two clones had 74% nlicleotide sequence identities in the coding region. UDPGTh2 encoded a 529 amino acid protein with an amino terminus membrane-insertion signal peptide and a carboxyl terminus membrane-spanning region. In order to establish substrate specificity, the clone was inserted into the pSVL vector (pUDPGTh2) and expressed in COS 1 cells. Sixty potential substrates were tested using cells transfected with pUDPGTh2. The order of relative substrate activity was as follows: 4-hydroxyestrone > estriol >2-hydroxyestriol > 4-hydroxyestradiol > $6{\alpha}$-hydroxyestradiol >$5{\alpha}$-androstane-$3{\alpha}$, $11{\beta}$, $17{\beta}$-triol=5${\beta}$-androstane-$3{\alpha}$ ${\beta}$, $17{\beta}$-triol. There were only trace amounts of gulcuronidation of 2-hydroxyestradiol and 2-hydroxyestrone, and in contrast to other cloned transferase, no gulcuronidation of either the primary estrogens and androgens (estrone, $17{\beta}$estradiol/testosterone, androsterone) or any of the exogenous substrates tested was detected. A lineweaver-Burk plot of the effect of 4-hydroxystrone concentration on the velocity of glucuronidation showed an apparent Km of $13{\mu}M$. The unique specificity of this transferase might play an important role in regulating the level and activity of these potent and active estrogen metabolites.

A novel glutathione S-transferase from Pseudomonas sp. DJ77 was expressed in E. coli and purified by glutathione-affinity chromatography. The enzyme was composed of two identical subunits. The molecular size of the enzyme was 42 kDa by sephadex G-150 gel permeation chromatography and Mr of each subunit was 23 kDa by sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. pI value of the enzyme was approximately 5.8 by isoelectric focusing. This enzyme showed the highest activity toward 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene as the electrophilic substrate. The relative activities toward p-nitrobenzyl chloride and 1,2-dichloro-4-nitrobenzene were 3.8% and 1.3% of the activity toward 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, respectively. $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ values for 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene calculated by Lineweaver-Burk plot were 0.76 mM and $14.81\;{\mu}mol/min/mg$, respectively, and those for glutathione were 6.23 mM and $64.93\;{\mu}mol/min/mg$, respectively. The enzyme showed highest glutathione S-transferase activity at pH 8.0 and was stable between pH 6.0 and 9.0. The enzyme retained its activity up to $35^{\circ}C$ for 90 min but was unstable above $45^{\circ}C$.

Kinetic parameters of purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae were measured. The Michaelis constants determined for substrates of the enzyme were $ 2.0 * 10^{-4}$ M for inosine, $2.0 *10^{-3}$ M for deoxyinosine, $ 2.0 * 10^{-5}$ M for guanosine and $2.0 10 ^{-5}$ M for deoxyguanosine. According to the ratio of relative $K_{cat}$Km, substrate specificity of each nucleoside was in the order of guanosine or deoxyguanosine, inosine and deoxyinosine. Cosubstrate, phosphate, revealed downward curvature in Lineweaver-Burk plot at high concentrations, indicating a negative cooperativity between subunits. The inhibition constants for purine analogs were measured to be $ 6 * 10^{-4}$ M for formycin B as the competitive inhibitor of inosine, $ 9 * 10^{-6}$ M for guanine as the competitive inhibitor of guanosine, $2 * 10^{-4}$ M for hypoxanthine as the non competitive inhibitor of guanosine and $4.5 * 10 ^{-4}$ M for 6-mercaptopurine as the non competitive inhibitor of guanosine. Alternative substrates, guanosine, deoxyguanosine and adenosine were found to act as competitive inhibitors with Ki values o $f^ 2.0 * 10 {-5}$ M, $2.6 * 10^{-5}$ M and $8.5 * 10 ^{-4}$ M, respectively, when inosine was the variable substrate. Guanosine and deoxyguanosine were also observed as competitive inhibitors with the Ki values of $1.8 * 10^{-5}$ M and $ 3.0 * 10^{-5}$ M, respectively, when deoxyinesine was the variable substrate. The results of alternative substrate sstudies suggested that a single enzyme acted on different nucleosides, inosine, deoxyinosine, adenosine, guanosine and deoxyguanosine.e.
