The aim of this research was to investigate the potential application of casein phospho-peptide (CPP)/chitosan oligosaccharide (CSO) nanocomplexes to dairy foods. The physical stability of CPP/CSO nanocomplexes during storage in model dairy foods including milk and yogurt was assessed by measuring the size and polydispersity index of the nanocomplexes. Encapsulation efficiency and in vitro vitamin D release from CPP/CSO nanocomplexes during gastrointestinal digestion were determined using HPLC. CPP/CSO nanocomplexes with increased CPP concentrations and decreased pH displayed significantly increased average particle size. During storage in model dairy foods, CPP/CSO nanocomplexes prepared with lower CPP concentrations and raised pH exhibited excellent physical stability. Vitamin D encapsulation efficiency increased significantly (p<0.05) as CPP concentration and/or pH decreased. Less than 3% vitamin D were released under gastric digestion conditions in vitro, while 91% of encapsulated vitamin D was released by 2 h of incubation under intestinal conditions, indicating that CPP/CSO nanocomplexes could effectively protect vitamin D from gastric conditions for delivery to the intestines. In conclusion, CPP/CSO nanocomplexes can be applied to dairy foods as an effective vitamin D delivery system.

Grb2 is an important adaptor protein in the mitogenic Ras signaling pathway of receptor tyrosine kinases, and contains one SH2 domain and two SH3 domains. The SH2 domain binds to specific phosphotyrosine motifs on receptors or adaptor proteins such as Shc. The SH2 domain antagonists may lead to blocking of the oncogenic Ras signals and to developing new antitumor agents. In the course of screening SH2 antagonists from natural sources, cslerotiorin (1) and isochromophilone IV (2) were isolated from a strain, Penicillium multicolor F1753, and their structures were established by NMR spectral data. The metabolites significantly inhibited the binding between the Grb2-SH2 domain and phosphopeptide derived from the Shc protein, with $IC_{50}$ values of $22{\;}\mu\textrm{M}{\;}and{\;}48{\;}\mu\textrm{M}$ for (1) and (2), respectively. The compounds are the first nonpeptidic inhibitors of the SH2 domain from a natural source.

The effects of lactose on the formation of casein phosphopeptide (CPP), the increment of soluble calcium and the enhancement of calcium absorption by dietary casein in the intestinal tract were investigated. Rats were fed a lactose-free diet, 10% lactose diet and 30% lactose diet containing powdered milk. In rats receiving a lactose-free powdered milk diet, CPP formation was confirmed by gel filtration of the intestinal content on Sephadex G -25 and the amount of soluble calcium was increased in the small intestine and calcium absorption, measured by the ligated ideal loops in situ was enhanced. However, In rats receiving a powdered milk diet containing 10% lactose or 30% lactose, the similar effects were not seen. These observations indicate that CPP-stimulated effects on soluble calcium and calcium absorption in the small intestine are not dependent upon lactose.

Protein phosphorylation is one of most important post-translational modifications (PTMs) and plays an important role in regulation of protein function. Here we develop a method for a global identification of phosphopeptides and phosphorylation sites using nano-LC MS/MS. We compared two separation methods, C4 and strong cation ion exchange (SCX). Before phosphopeptides enrichment with $TiO_2$, total proteins from Rat 1 cells have been separated using C4 column or tryptic peptides of proteins from the cells have been separated using SCX column. Finally, we have detected 52 phosphorylation sites on 41 proteins from SCX method and 375 phosphorylation sites on 252 proteins from C4 method, and determined the function and localization of identified phosphoproteins using DAVID software. In particular, we showed new phosphorylation sites from membrane proteins related to various cell signaling mechanisms. This method may contribute to study global signal networks induced by various signals including ligands and drugs.

The prevalence rate of osteoporosis in older men and women has recently increased, and thus bone health is a major concern in Korea. This concern, along with increasing concern regarding youth height, has led to growth of the functional food industry for children, reaching approximately 200 billion won. It is necessary to develop safe and effective functional materials for bone growth and health. Foods are excellent sources of functional material as they are safe to use. It is well known that the phosphopeptide casein, which is derived from milk, is effective against osteoporosis by aiding in the absorption of calcium. In our study, collagen peptides derived from porcine skin were evaluated as a functional material for bone growth, as several peptides have been shown to aid in osteoblast formation.

This paper has described about preparation of $Zr^{4+}$ affinity column based on the poly(styrene-co- gly-cidyl methacrylate) prepared by emulsion polymerization of styrene and glycidyl methacrylate in order to isolate phosphopeptide. The $Zr^{4+}$ ions were introduced after the phophonation of an epoxy group on polymeric microspheres. The successful preparation of $Zr^{4+}$-immobilized polymeric microsphere stationary phase was confirmed through Fourier transform infrared spectra, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectra and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometer. The separation efficiency for $Zr^{4+}$ affinity column prepared by slurry packing was tested to phosphonated casein and dephosphonated casein. The resolution time (min) of the phosphonated casein was higher than that of dephosphated casein for $Zr^{4+}$ affinity polymeric microsphere by liquid chromatography. This $Zr^{4+}$ affinity column can be used for isolation of phosphonated casein from casein using liquid chromatography.

The bioavailability of Ca is currently one of the most important topics in nutrition research and is correlated with gastrointestinal solubility. Thus, to increase the solubility of calcium, this study was undertaken to examine the effect of $\gamma$-PGA on intestinal Ca solubility. The calcium solubility increased when the amount of $\gamma$-PGA was increased, due to the inhibition of the formation of an insoluble Ca complex with phosphate. Therefore, when $\gamma$-PGA-500 (avg. MW 5,000 kDa) was added at 0.5 mg/ml, $75\%$ of the total Ca was soluble. The amount of soluble Ca uptake in the small intestine was investigated using Balb/c mice as an animal model system. The soluble Ca uptake in the mice orally administered with $\gamma$-PGA-500 (avg. MW 5,000 kDa) was significantly higher than that in the $\gamma$-PGA-l00 (avg. MW 1,000 kDa)-administered mice (P<0.05). Accordingly, these results strongly support the notion that the molecular size of $\gamma$-PGA is correlated with Ca solubility. The effects of other factors, such as casein phosphopeptide and vitamin D, on intestinal Ca absorption have also previously been investigated. Therefore, it is hoped that the present observations will help clarify the role of $\gamma$-PGA in Ca solubility and its industrial application as an additive.

This study examined the remineralization effect of CPP-ACFP according to the etching time and the frequency of application. A CPP-ACFP paste was formed from a combination of CPP-ACP paste and fluorine. The remineralization effect of CPP-ACFP was measured according to the etching time and the frequency of applications of CPP-ACFP. The microhardness of 64 teeth was measured as the sound sample and observed by scanning electron microscopy. As a result, the effect on remineralization of the enamel increased with increasing etching time and frequency of application. Therefore, a CPP-ACP paste combination to fluorine in the tooth mineral CPP-ACFP paste fluoride application can be supplied with the material-advisable enamel remineralization.

Objective: To study and compare the effects of different demineralization-inhibition methods on the shear bond strength (SBS) and fracture mode of an adhesive used to bond orthodontic brackets to demineralized enamel surfaces. Methods: Eighty freshly extracted, human maxillary premolars were divided into 4 equal groups and demineralized over the course of 21 days. Brackets were bonded to the demineralized enamel of teeth in Group 1. In Group 2, bonding was performed following resin infiltration ($ICON^{(R)}$, DMG, Hamburg, Germany). Before bonding, pre-treatment with acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) or solutions containing casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate with 2% neutral sodium fluoride (CPP-ACP/wF) was performed in Groups 3 and 4, respectively. The SBS values of the brackets were measured and recorded following mechanical shearing of the bracket from the tooth surface. The adhesive remnant index (ARI) scores were determined aft er the brackets failed. Statistical comparisons were performed using one-way ANOVA, Tukey's post-tests, and G-tests. Results: Significant differences were found in some of the intergroup comparisons of the SBS values (F = 39.287, p < 0.001). No significant differences were found between the values for the APF-gel and control groups, whereas significantly higher SBS values were recorded for the resin-infiltrated and CPP-ACP/wF-treated groups. The ARI scores were also significantly different among the 4 groups (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Tooth surfaces exposed to resin infiltration and CPP-ACP/wF application showed higher debonding forces than the untreated, demineralized surfaces.

The effect of the level of casein phosphopeptide (CPP) on mineral (Ca and P) bioavailabilties and bone biomarker of aged ovariectomized (OVX) Sprague-Dawley rats were studied as a model for postmenopausal bone loss. Forty five Spargue dawley rats, 220-230 g of body weight were fed a control diet (AIN 93M) or containing different level of CPP diet for 7 weeks: $0\%$ (sham control; SC, OVX control; OC), $1\%$ (OVX low CPP diet: OL), $2\%$ (OVX medium CPP diet; OM), $3\%$ (OVX high CPP diet; OH) Ca absorption was unaffected by increasing CPP content from 0 to $3\%$. Urinary Ca excretion was increased by OVX, and decreased by CPP significantly (p < 0.05) with no evident doserelationship. The urinary P excretion was increased by CPP intake in OVX rats. The fecal excretion of P given CPP decreased in OVX with dose dependent manner. Ca and P contents of femur significantly increased by adding 2 or $3\%$ of CPP when compared with OC group and OL group (p < 0.05). There were no significant differences in serum alkaline phosphatase activity and c-terminal telopeptide excretion in experimental groups. Although ovariectomy induced the increase in urinary c-terminal telopeptide excretion, 2 or $3\%$ of CPP in the diet decreased urinary c-terminal telopetide excretion significantly. These finding suggest the usefulness of CPP in the prevention of postmenopausal bone loss by decreasing urinary Ca excretion and bone resorption. Over 2 percent of CPP in the diet was effective to prevent postmenopausal bone loss.
