This experiment was conducted to evaluate the growth performance, fecal score, and fecal microbial shedding in weaning pigs fed diets with different levels of fiber and protein. A total of 96 weaning piglets ($7.41{\pm}0.71kg$) were used in a 5-week trial. Pigs were allotted to dietary treatments based on initial body weight in a $2{\times}2$ factorial design with the following factors: dietary fiber (100 and 200 g/kg, respectively, during days 0 to 14; 175 and 300 g/kg, respectively, during days 14 to 35) and dietary protein (170 or 200 g/kg). There were 6 replicates with 4 pigs per pen. On day 14, pigs fed high protein or high fiber diets had heavier body weight (p < 0.05). During days 0 to 14, pigs fed high protein or high fiber diets grew faster (p < 0.05). Additionally, during days 14 to 35, an interactive effect of fiber and protein was found (p < 0.05) on average daily gain. The different levels of protein and fiber in diet did not affect the pigs' fecal scores (p > 0.05). However, feces from the high fiber group showed lower concentration of Escherichia coli (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the results of the present study indicate that a high protein diet improves the growth of weaning pigs especially during the first two weeks. Moreover, the increments in fiber level, even in the high protein diet, favorably decreased the number of E. coli.

This study was conducted to investigate effect of changes in target fat and protein contents in milk on feed cost using a simulation modeling approach based on the 2001 dairy NRC. Two simulations were done; simulation I had a limitation (up to 20%), but simulation II had no limitation for the use of cottonseed hull in a diet. Using commonly used feed ingredients in Korea, we formulated least cost diets that meet nutrient requirement of a lactating dairy cow producing 36 kg of milk with combinations of 0.1% decrease or 0.1% increase in target milk fat or protein, respectively, from the national average milk fat (4.0%) and milk protein (3.1%). The contents of alfalfa and corn in a least-cost diet were decreased and those of tall fescue, whole cottonseed and rapeseed meal were increased with decreasing fat and/or increasing protein in milk. Scenarios that decreased target milk fat percentage from 4.0% to 3.9% reduced feed cost by 2 won per kg. Due to decrease in feed intake, daily feed cost was even more reduced (136 won per head) by decreasing target milk fat percentage. Increase in target milk protein percentage from 3.1% to 3.2% reduced feed cost by 6 won per kg. Among scenarios simulated, the least feed cost was obtained in scenario aimed for 3.9% fat and 3.2% of protein in milk. We conclude that a feeding practice for increasing milk protein percentage does not directly increase feed cost. In addition, feeding practices that increase protein content in milk is expected to improve economic life-span and reproductive performance of dairy cows.

단백질-단백질 상호작용(PPI : Protein-Protein Interaction) 데이타는 생물체가 어떠한 메커니즘으로 생명을 유지하는지에 대한 정보를 담고 있다. 질병 연구나 신약 연구를 위해서 PPI 데이타를 이용한 많은 연구들이 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 PPI 데이타의 크기는 Yeast-two-hybrid, Mass spectrometry과 Correlated mRNh expression과 같은 방법들로 인하여 점차 그 증가량이 커지고 있다. 따라서 단백질-단백질 상호작용 데이타의 방대한 양과 복잡한 구조로 인하여 사람이 직접 분석하는 것은 불가능하다. 다행히도 PPI 데이타는 단백질은 노드로, 상호작용은 에지로 표현함으로써 전산학의 그래프 구조로 추상화될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 방대한 단백질-단백질 상호작용 데이타를 연구자가 다양한 방법으로 손쉽게 분석할 수 있는 워크벤치(workbench) 시스템인 Proteinca (PROTEin INteraction CAbaret)에 대하여 소개한다. Proteinca는 다앙한 데이타베이스의 PPI 데이타를 그래프이론 기반의 분석 기능들을 제공하며, 그래프로 가시화하여 사용자가 직관적으로 이해할 수 있도록 도와준다. 또한, 중력 모델 기반의 간략화 방법을 제공하여 사용자에게 중요 단백질 중심의 가시화를 제공한다.

단백질의 세포 내 위치를 인식하는 것은 생물학 현상의 기술에 있어서 필수적이다. 생물학 문서의 양이 늘어남에 따라, 단백질의 세포 내 위치 정보를 문서 내용으로부터 얻기 위한 연구들이 많이 이루어졌다. 기존의 논문들은 문장의 구문 정보를 이용하여 정보를 얻고자 하였으며, 언어학적 정보가 단백질의 세포 내 위치를 인식하는 데 유용하다고 주장하고 있다. 그러나, 이전의 시스템들은 구문 정보를 얻기 위해 부분 구문분석기만을 사용하였고 재현율이 좋지 못했다. 그러므로 단백질의 세포 내 위치 정보를 얻기 위해 전체 구문분석기를 사용할 필요가 있다. 또한, 더 많은 언어학적 정보를 위해 의미 정보 또한 사용이 가능하다. 단백질의 세포 내 위치 정보를 인식하는 성능을 향상시키기 위하여, 본 논문은 전체 구문분석기와 어휘망(WordNet)을 기반으로 한 방법을 제안한다. 첫 번째 단계에서, 각 단백질 단어로부터 그 단백질의 위치후보에까지 이르는 구문 의존 경로를 구축한다. 두 번째 단계에서, 구문의존 경로의 루트 정보를 추출한다. 마지막으로, 단백질 부분트리와 위치 부분트리의 구문-의미 패턴을 추출한다. 구문 의존 경로의 루트와 부분트리로부터 구문태그와 구문방향을 구문 정보로서 추출하고, 각 노드 단어의 의미태그를 의미 정보로서 추출한다. 의미태그로는 어휘망의 동의어 집합(synset)을 사용한다. 학습데이터에서 추출한 루트 정보와 부분트리의 구문-의미 패턴에 따라서, 실험데이터에서 (단백질, 위치) 쌍들을 추출했다. 어떤 생물학적 지식 없이, 본 논문의 방법은 메드라인(Medline) 요약 데이터를 사용한 실험 결과에서 학습데이터에 대해 74.53%의 조화평균(F-measure), 실험데이터에 대해서는 58.90%의 조화평균을 보였다. 이 실험은 기존의 방법들보다 12-25%의 성능향상을 보였다.

본 연구는 1962년 한국인 영양권장량의 제정부터 2010년 한국인 영양섭취기준 개정에 이르기까지 성인과 임신 수유부의 단백질의 섭취권장량 산출방법과 섭취권장량의 변화 추이를 살펴보았다. 1. 성인의 단백질 섭취권장량은 1989년까지 요인가산법을, 그 이후에는 질소균형연구를 활용하여 설정되었다. 요인가산법을 적용하였던 시기는 표준단백질 최소 필요량 또는 불가피 질소손실량을 기본 요인으로 하고 식이단백질의 이용율을 적용하였으며, 질소균형연구를 적용하였던 시기는 질소평형 유지에 필요한 식이단백질의 최소 필요량을 기본 요인으로 하였다. 그리고 개인 차, 스트레스 등의 조정 요인을 반영하여 단백질 섭취권장량을 계산하였다. 단백질 섭취권장량은 남성 50~80g/일, 여성 45~70g/일이었으며, 남성의 섭취권장량이 여성보다 크고, 연령대가 높을수록 섭취권장량은 감소하였다. 2. 임신부의 단백질 부가섭취권장량은 태아의 발육에 기인하는 단백질 축적량을 기본 요인으로 하고 식이단백질 이용율 등의 조정요인을 적용하여 산출하였고, 10~30g/일이었으며, 2010년에는 임신 기간을 3분하여 각각 0, 15, 30g/일을 제시하였다. 3. 수유부의 단백질 부가섭취권장량은 모유로 분비되는 단백질의 양을 기본 요인으로 하고 식이단백질 이용율 등의 조정요인을 적용하여 산출하였고, 20~30g/일이었으며, 시기별 증감 경향은 나타나지 않았다. 앞으로 체중 대신 제지방체중을 적용하는 단백질 섭취권장량의 산출 공식이 마련될 필요성이 있으며, 에너지와 마찬가지로 섭취하는 식이단백질의 조성에 근거한 개인별 섭취권장량의 계산방법 고안을 제언한다. 그리고 수유부의 경우 수유 기간을 구분하여 기간별 단백질 부가섭취권장량의 제정을 제언한다.

Objective: Evaluate the partial replacement of soybean meal with different protein sources in piglet feed during the nursery phase in terms of digestibility of feed, nitrogen balance, growth performance and blood parameters. Methods: Experiment I involved 24 crossbred entire male pigs with an initial body weight (BW) of $18.28{\pm}0.7kg$ and used a randomized complete block design consisting of 3 treatments (fish meal, FM; soybean protein concentrate, SPC; and soybean meal, SBM) and 8 replicates, with 1 pig per experimental unit. Experiment II involved 1,843 crossbred male and female pigs with an initial BW of $6.79{\pm}0.90kg$ and was based on a completely randomized design with a $2{\times}3$ factorial arrangement (2 sexes and 3 protein sources) and 13 replicates. Results: The results of Exp. I indicate effects (p<0.05) of dietary protein sources on digestible protein (FM, 17.84%; SPC, 16.72%, and SBM, 18.13%) and on total nitrogen excretion (TNE, $g/kg\;BW^{0.75}/d$) in which pigs fed with SBM-based feed had TNE values that were 5.36% and 3.72% greater than SPC and FM, respectively. In the Exp. II, there was difference (p<0.01) between sexes in the pre-starter I and starter phases, and total period in average daily feed intake (ADFI), which were greater in females, and between the protein sources, ADFI, final weight and daily weight gain. For urea in the pre-starter II and starter phases and glucose in the pre-starter II phase, there was a difference (p<0.05) between protein sources and between sexes, in starter phase in urea concentrations (females: 57.11 mg/dL and males: 50.60 mg/dL). Conclusion: The use of SBM as only protein source influences larger TNE ($g/kg\;BW^{0.75}/d$), reduces the growth performance of piglets and increases plasma urea concentrations in prestarter II phase.

This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of enzyme supplementation on the performance of 80 growing-finishing pigs (26.2 kg) fed diets containing either soybean or canola meal. Barley-based diets formulated using either soybean meal or canola meal were fed with or without enzyme (Allzyme Vegpro, Alltech Biotechnology Centre). Eight castrates and twelve gilts were fed each diet. Digestibility of dry matter, crude protein and gross energy was 8.0 (p=0.0001), 7.9 (p=0.0005) and 7.9 (p=0.0003) percent lower for pigs fed diets containing canola meal compared with soybean meal. Enzyme supplementation had no effect on nutrient digestibility (p>0.05). There was a significant interaction between protein source and enzyme for all three nutrients. Over the entire experimental period (26.2 to 77.9 kg), pigs fed canola meal consumed 9.4% less feed (p=0.001), gained weight 20.4% slower (p=0.001) and had a 12.9% poorer feed conversion (p=0.001) than pigs fed soybean meal. Weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion were unaffected by enzyme addition (p>0.05). Castrates gained weight 11.4% faster (p=0.001), consumed 9.3% more feed (p=0.001) and had a 2.6% better feed conversion (p=0.026) than gilts. There was a significant interaction between protein source and sex of pig for feed conversion. Pigs fed diets based on canola meal had a significantly lower carcass value index (p=0.01), lower lean yield (p=0.007) and lower lean depth over the loin (p=0.001) than pigs fed diets based on soybean meal. Enzyme addition significantly increased lean depth over the loin (p=0.01). There was a significant interaction between protein source and enzyme for carcass value index (p=0.04), estimated lean yield (p=0.05) and fat depth over the loin (p=0.05). These results confirm previous studies which have demonstrated poorer pig performance when canola meal completely replaces soybean meal in diets fed to growing-finishing pigs. In addition, the results provide little justification for the inclusion of the Vegpro enzyme in diets fed to pigs of this weight range.

This study was conducted to investigate the plasma phosphoproteome and differential plasma phosphoproteins in cases of of Opisthorchis viverrini (OV)-related cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). Plasma phosphoproteomes from CCA patients (10) and non-CCA subjects (5 each for healthy subjects and OV infection) were investigated using gel-based and solution-based LC-MS/MS. Phosphoproteins in plasma samples were enriched and analyzed by LC-MS/MS. STRAP, PANTHER, iPath, and MeV programs were applied for the identification of their functions, signaling and metabolic pathways; and for the discrimination of potential biomarkers in CCA patients and non-CCA subjects, respectively. A total of 90 and 60 plasma phosphoproteins were identified by gel-based and solution-based LC-MS/MS, respectively. Most of the phosphoproteins were cytosol proteins which play roles in several cellular processes, signaling pathways, and metabolic pathways (STRAP, PANTHER, and iPath analysis). The absence of serine/arginine repetitive matrix protein 3 (A6NNA2), tubulin tyrosine ligase-like family, member 6, and biorientation of chromosomes in cell division protein 1-like (Q8NFC6) in plasma phosphoprotein were identified as potential biomarkers for the differentiation of healthy subjects from patients with CCA and OV infection. To differentiate CCA from OV infection, the absence of both serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 2A 56 kDa regulatory subunit beta isoform and coiled-coil domain-containing protein 126 precursor (Q96EE4) were then applied. A combination of 5 phosphoproteins may new alternative choices for CCA diagnosis.

A challenge in the redox field is the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms, by which $H_2O_2$ mediates signal transduction in cells. This is relevant since redox pathways are disturbed in some pathologies. The transcription factor OxyR is the $H_2O_2$ sensor in bacteria, whereas Cys-based peroxidases are involved in the perception of this oxidant in eukaryotic cells. Three possible mechanisms may be involved in $H_2O_2$ signaling that are not mutually exclusive. In the simplest pathway, $H_2O_2$ signals through direct oxidation of the signaling protein, such as a phosphatase or a transcription factor. Although signaling proteins are frequently observed in the oxidized state in biological systems, in most cases their direct oxidation by $H_2O_2$ is too slow ($10^1M^{-1}s^{-1}$ range) to outcompete Cys-based peroxidases and glutathione. In some particular cellular compartments (such as vicinity of NADPH oxidases), it is possible that a signaling protein faces extremely high $H_2O_2$ concentrations, making the direct oxidation feasible. Alternatively, high $H_2O_2$ levels can hyperoxidize peroxiredoxins leading to local building up of $H_2O_2$ that then could oxidize a signaling protein (floodgate hypothesis). In a second model, $H_2O_2$ oxidizes Cys-based peroxidases that then through thiol-disulfide reshuffling would transmit the oxidized equivalents to the signaling protein. The third model of signaling is centered on the reducing substrate of Cys-based peroxidases that in most cases is thioredoxin. Is this model, peroxiredoxins would signal by modulating the thioredoxin redox status. More kinetic data is required to allow the identification of the complex network of thiol switches.
