SDS-PAGE를 이용한 일반적인 단백질 분리는 단백질을 분자량에 따라 분리하는 방법이며 가장 보편적이고, 간단한 방법 중의 하나이다. 본 연구는 SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis)를 두 번에 걸쳐 동일한 분리 원리로 이차원으로 전개하는 방법의 전기영동을 시도하여 기존의 일차원 전기영동 분석법과 비교하였으며, 그 결과 향상된 분리능이 본 연구의 이차원 전기영동법에서 확인되었다. Gel에서 분리된 단백질들은 MALDI TOF MS를 이용하여 동정하여 서로 다른 단백질임이 확인되었으며, 이러한 duplex SDS-PAGE 분리법은 상대적으로 적은 비용으로 단백질 분리능을 용이하게 향상시킬 수 있는 경제적인 분석법으로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

An extracellular protease was identified from Bacillus subtilis KCCM 10257 by N-terminal sequencing and mass spectral analysis. The molecular mass of the extracellular protease was estimated to be 28 kDa by SDS-PAGE. Sequencing of the N-terminal of the protease revealed the sequence of A(G,S,R)QXVPYG(A)V(P,L)SQ. The N-terminal sequence exhibited close similarity to the sequence of other proteases from Bacillus sp. A mass list of the monoisotopic peaks in the MALDI-TOF spectrum was searched after peptide fragmentation of the protease. Six peptide sequences exhibiting monoisotopic masses of 1,276.61, 1,513.67, 1,652.81, 1,661.83, 1,252.61, and 1,033.46 were observed from the fragmented protease. These monisotopic masses corresponded to the lytic enzyme L27 from Bacillus subtilis 168, and the Mowse score was found to be 75. A doubly charged Top product (MS) at a m/z of 517.3 exhibiting a molecular mass of 1034.6 was further analyzed by de novo sequencing using a PE Sciex QSTAR Hybrid Quadropole-TOF (MS/MS) mass spectrometer. MS/MS spectra of the Top product (MS) at a m/z of 517.3 obtained from the fragmented peptide mixture of protease with Q-star contained the b-ion series of 114.2, 171.2, 286.2, 357.2, 504.2, 667.4, 830.1, and 887.1 and y-ion series of 147.5, 204.2, 367.2, 530.3, 677.4, 748.4, 863.4, and 920.5. The sequence of analyzed peptide ion was identified as LGDAFYYG from the b- and y-ion series by de novo sequencing and corresponded to the results from the MALDI-TOF spectrum. From these results the extracellular protease from Bacillus subtilis KCCM 10257 was successfully identified with the lytic enzyme L27 from Bacillus subtilis 168.

아스코크로린(Ascochlorin, ASC)은 Ascochyta viciae로부터 추출된 프레닐페놀 물질로, 혈청 콜레스테롤과 트리글리세라이드 수치를 감소시키고 종양 성장을 억제한다는 연구 결과가 보고되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 아스코크로린이 생리학적 혹은 병리학적인 작용과 염증반응에서 약리학적으로 유도되는 반응을 어떻게 조절하며, 이러한 메커니즘에 대해 이해하기 위해 mouse macrophage Raw264.7 세포에 아스코크로린을 처리하여 이에 대한 프로테옴의 특이적인 발현에 대해 분석하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 LPS를 처리한 mouse macrophage Raw264.7 세포에 아스코크로린을 처리하여 염증과정에 관련된 단백질의 발현 양상을 확인하기 위해 프로테오믹스를 시행하였다. Mouse macrophage RAW264.7 세포에 아스코크로린을 처리한 조건과 무처리한 조건으로 나누어 two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-D SDS-PAGE), matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS)와 bioinformatics 방법으로 아스코크로린을 처리한 mouse macrophage Raw264.6 세포의 프로테옴을 분석하였다. 그 결과 mouse macrophage Raw264.7 세포에 아스코크로린 처리 시 Calreticulin이 4배 감소, ${\beta}-actin$도 4배 감소 그리고 vimentin이 1.5배 감소함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 그러나 rabaptin 아스코크로린 처리에 의해 3배 증가함을 확인 할 수 있었다. 이러한 단백질 발현은 RT-PCR을 수행하여 결과에 대해 재확인 하였으며, 프로테오믹스와 동일한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 LPS 처리에 의해 활성화된 mouse macrophage RAW264.7 세포에 ASC를 처리한 후 이차원 전기영동법을 이용하여, 단백질의 발현 변화 및 양상을 규명하고 단백질 지도를 확립 하였으며, RAW264.7 세포를 이용한 면역세포 모델에서 ASC의 항염증 작용을 중심으로 생리활성 조절기능을 확인 할 수 있었다. 향후 분자 기능 조절 연구와 전 임상 연구를 통해 ASC의 생리활성 조절 기능을 규명한다면 ASC는 항염증 및 항암활성을 갖는 약물로 개발될 것으로 기대된다.

Chinese fir (Latin name: Cunninghaimia lanceolata) is one of the major commercial coniferous trees. Most of Chinese fir forests are managed in successive rotation sites, which lead productivity to decline. Autotoxicity is the important reason for soil degradation of Chinese fir plantation, especially, phenolic acids are considered as the major allelopathic toxins which induce autotoxicity in Chinese fir rotation stands. We performed here proteomic approach to investigate the response of proteins in Chinese fir leaves to salicylic acid. The tube plantlets of Chinese fir clone were treated with 120 mg/L salicylic acid for 1, 3 and 5th day. 2-DE, coupled with MALDI-TOF-TOF/MS, was used to separate and identify the responsive proteins. We found 12, 7, and 12 candidate protein spots that were up- or down-regulated by at least 2.5 fold after 1, 3, and 5th day of the stress, respectively. Of these protein spots, 16 spots were identified successfully. According to the putative physiological functions, these proteins were categorized into five classes (1) the proteins involved in protein stability and folding, including 26S proteome, Grp78, Hsp70, Hsp90 and PPIase; (2) the protein involved in photosynthesis and respiration, including OEC 33 kDa subunit, GAPDH; (3) the protein related to cell endurance to acid, F-ATPase; (4) the protein related to cytoskeleton, tubulin; (5) the protein related to protein translation: prolyl-tRNA synthetase. These results give new insights into autotoxic substance stress response in Chinese fir leaves and provide preliminary footprints for further studies on the molecular signal mechanisms induced by the stress.

Current therapeutic strategies far anthrax have had no significant impact on anthrax mortality over the last several decades. This study used a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) discovery platform to generate protein expression profiles in search of overexpressed proteins in murine macrophage cells (RAW264.7) which infected with Bacillus anthracis spores as potentially novel molecular targets. Two differentially expressed proteins were identified in infected murine macrophage cells as Syndapin and CDC46, respectively. Syndapins are potential links between the cortical actin cytoskeleton and endocytosis. Other two proteins were identified from murine macrophage cells infected with avirulent spores as ITBG-2 (CD18) and HSPA5, respectively. These data demonstrate the feasibility of using a MALDI-TOF platform to generate protein expression profiles and identify potential molecular targets for anthrax therapeutics.

Three out of fourteen Microcystis-dominant cyanobacterial blooms in Central India were found to be toxic to mice ($LD_{50}$ ranging from 35-450 mg bloom dry mass/kg body weight). The liver architecture of the treated mice showed characteristic symptoms of hepatotoxicity relative to the untreated controls, with increased enzyme activities of serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT). RP-HPLC revealed the presence of microcystin-LR, microcystin-RR, and desmethyl microcystin-RR in the given region to maximum amounts of 390, 1,030, and $860{\mu}g/g$ bloom dry weight, respectively, corresponding to a maximum of 2.8 mg/l microcystin-LR in the lake water. Further confirmation of the microcystin variants was conducted using a MALDI-TOF MS analysis.

This study provides first-hand proteomic data on the survival strategy of Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 when subjected to long-term iron-starvation conditions. 2D-gel electrophoresis followed by MALDI-TOF/MS analysis of iron-deficient Anabaena revealed significant and reproducible alterations in ten proteins, of which six are associated with photosynthesis and respiration, three with the antioxidative defense system, and the last, hypothetical protein all1861, conceivably connected with iron homeostasis. Iron-starved Anabaena registered a reduction in growth, photosynthetic pigments, PSI, PSII, whole-chain electron transport, carbon and nitrogen fixation, and ATP and NADPH content. The kinetics of hypothetical protein all1861 expression, with no change in expression until day 3, maximum expression on the $7^{th}$ day, and a decline in expression from the $15^{th}$ day onward, coupled with in silico analysis, suggested its role in iron sequestration and homeostasis. Interestingly, the up-regulated FBP-aldolase, Mn/Fe-SOD, and all1861 all appear to assist the survival of Anabeana subjected to iron-starvation conditions. Furthermore, the $N_2$-fixation capabilities of the iron-starved Anabaena encourage us to recommend its application as a biofertilizer, particularly in iron-limited paddy soils.
