The effects of kanendomycin on the potassium permeability in the rabbit erythrocyte membrane are investigated and the results are summarized as follows. 1. Kanendomycin causes the efflux of $K^+\;and\;influx\;of\;Na^+$ across the rabbit erythrocyte membrane. 2. Osmotic resistance of kanendomycin treated erythrocytes is diminished. This diminution of osmotic resistance is more pronounced by increasing concentration of kanendomycin and longer incubation time. But osmotic resistance is rather increased in the presence of lower concentration of kanendomycin. 3. Cysteine and glutathione have little influence on $K^+$ efflux induced by kanendomycin. 4. EDTA has no effect on the increase in $K^+$ outflux by kanendomycin while PCMB augments slightly on $K^+$ outflux. 5. Kanendomycin inhibits $Ca^{++}$ binding competitively to rabbit erythrocyte membrane fragments.

Protease related mold was isolated and selected as a starter culture for commercial production of meju. Isolated microorganism was identified as Syncephalastrum racemosum PDA 132 2. To obtain basic data about protease for production of soybean peptides and application of the strain in meju fermentation, we extrated and purified protease and charateristics of the enzyme were investigated. The optimum condition for the production of enzyme was pH 4.0, 30oC, 5 days. The protease was purified 19.7 folds by gel filtration and ion exchange chromatography and specific activity was 12.4unit/mg. The purified enzyme was 34kDa in size, thiol protease(100% inhibited by PCMB), and was acidic protease(stable between pH 2.0~5.0). Vmax of the enzyme was 2.14 g/min which was lower(1/50) than that of by Asp. wentti and B. subtilis.

칼슘을 함유하는 반응액에서 arachidonic acid는 뚜렷하게 superoxide와 $H_2O_2$의 생성을 자극하였고 NADPH oxidase를 활성화하였다. 칼슘이 없는 반응액에서 NADPH oxidase에 대한 arachidonic acid의 자극 작용은 나타나지 않았다. Arachidonic acid에 의하여 자극된 respiratory burst는 EGTA, TMB-8, verapamil, diltiazem, nifedipine, dibucaine, lidocaine, CCCP, 2,4-dinitrophenol, sodium arsenate, chlorpromazine, theophylline, $HgCl_2$, PCMB와 PCMBSA에 의하여 억제되었으나, tetrodotoxin, tetraethyl ammonium chloride와 procaine의 영향은 받지 않았다. EGTA는 거의 완전히 arachidonic acid에 의한 ${\beta}-glucuronidase$의 유리를 억제하였으며, verapamil, CCCP와 theophylline은 약간 억제하였으나, 이에 반하여 dibucaine은 유의한 효과를 나타내지 않았다. Arachidonic acid는 중성호성 백혈구로 부터 칼슘을 유리시켰으며, 이는 TMB-8에 의하여 감소되었다. Arachidonic acid에 의한 세포내 유리 칼슘 농도의 상승은 EGTA와 CCCP에 의하여 억제되었고 TMB-8에 의하여 약간 억제되었다. Arachidonic acid와 verapamil 또는 arachidonic acid와 dibucaine의 동시 첨가에 의하여 상승된 세포내 유리 칼슘 농도의 양은 arachidonic acid 단독에 의한 것보다 현저하였다. 이상의 결과로 부터 다양한 생화학적 변화가 arachidonic acid에 의하여 활성화된 중성호성 백혈구의 기능 표현에 관여할 것으로 시사된다. Arachidonic acid는 세포내 칼슘 저장고로부터 칼슘유리를 자극하여 세포내 유리 칼슘 농도를 상승시킬 것으로 추정된다. 중성호성 백혈구의 활성화증에 칼슘 유입과 유출은 동시에 이루어질 것으로 추정된다.

Decrease in the amount of cotyledonary spermidine in Glycine max under anaerobic conditions related to an increase in spermidine dehydrogenase. Under the same conditions, no enzymatic activity of diamine oxidase was observed. Exposure of Glycine max both to spermidine and 1,3-diaminopropane under anaerobic conditions resulted in a decrease in spermidine contents. Correlated with the decrease in spermidine contents, there was a drastic increase in spermidine dehydrogenase. The molecular weight of the purified enzyme estimated by Sephacryl S-300 gel column and SDS gel electrophoresis were 130,000 dalton and 65,000 dalton, respectively, indicating that the enzyme is a dimer. The optimal pH for activity was 9.3. The $K_m$ value for spermidine was 0.61 mM. Neither metal ions nor polyamine and derivatives affected enzymatic activity, but the enzyme was inhibited by DTNB, NEM and PCMB, suggesting that a cysteine residue of the enzyme is associated with or involved in enzyme activity. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing properties of the enzyme from plants. Considered together, the data in this paper indicate that both spermidine and 1,3-diaminopropane, novel activators, enhance the spermidine dehydrogenase activity and control the intracellular spermidine contents.

This study was undertaken to determine whether Buthus exract(BTE) affects Na^+-K^+-ATPase$ activity of nervous tissues. The enzym activity was measured in synaptosomal fraction prepared from rabbit brain cortex. Na^+-K^+-ATPase$ activity was inhibited by BTE over concentration range of 0.05-0.5% in a dose-dependent manner. The enzyme activity was increased by an increase in $Na^+$ concentration from 5 to 100mM, $K^+$ concentration from 0.5 to 10mM, and $Mg^{2+}$ concentration from 0.2 to 5mM. These changes in ion concentrations did not produce any effect on the inhibitory effect of BTE on $Na^+-K^+-ATPase$ activity. An increase in ATP concentration from 0.1 to 3mM caused an increase in the enzyme activity. The inhibition of the enzyme activity by BTE were not different between two ATP concentrations. A sulfhydryl group protector DTT prevented PCMB-induced inhibition of $Na^+-K^+-ATPase$ activity, but the BTE-induced inhibition was not altered by DTT. The inhibition of enzyme activity by combination of ouabain and BTE was not different from that by Buthus alone. These results suggest that Buthus exerts inhibitory effect on $Na^+-K^+-ATPase$ activity in cerebral synaptosomes, and the action mechansim is similar to that of ouabain.

Transepithelial transport of tetraethylammonium (TEA) was studied in monolayers of opossum kidney cells cultured on permeable membrane filters. $[^{14}C]-TEA$ was transported across the OK cell monolayer from basolateral to apical side by a saturable process which can be stimulated by acidification of the apical medium. The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant $(K_{m})$ and the maximum velocity$(V_{max})$ for the transport were $41\;{\mu}M$ and 147 pmole/ mg protein/ min, respectively. The transport was significantly inhibited by unlabelled TEA, amiloride, cimetidine, choline, and mepiperphenidol added to the basolateral side at 1 mM and was slightly inhibited by 5 mM $N_{1}-methylnicotinamide\;(NMN).$ Unlabelled TEA added to the apical side stimulated the $basolateral-to-apical\;{^{14}C}-TEA$ transport, suggesting that the TEA self-exchange mechanism was involved at the apical membrane. Sulfhydryl reagents such as ${\rho}-chloromercuribenzoic\;acid\;(PCMB)\;and \;{\rho}-chloro-mercuribenzene\;sulfonate \;(PCMBS)$ and carboxyl reagents such as N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimidem (DCCD) and N-ethoxy-carbonyl-2-ethoxy-1,2-dihydro-quinoline(EEDQ) inhibited the TEA transport at both the basolateral and apical membranes of the OK cell monolayer. These results suggest that OK cell monolayers possess a vectorial transport system for organic cations which is similar to that for organic cation secretion in the renal proximal tubule.
