  • 메주로부터 항진균 및 항세균 활성을 나타내는 균주를 분리하고 동정하여 B. polyfermenticus CJ9로 명명하였다. B. polyfermenticus CJ9의 생육에 따른 항균 활성을 측정한 결과 항세균 활성은 배양 12시간에 최대 활성을 나타내며 72시간까지 90% 이상 활성을 유지하다 120시간에 활성을 완전히 상실하였다. 항진균 활성은 배양 24시간 이후부터 최대 활성을 나타내었고, 사멸기 이후 활성이 다소 감소되었으나 배양 120시간까지 활성이 유지되었다. B. polyfermenticus CJ9은 식품과 인체에 유해한 곰팡이, 효모, 그람 양성 및 음성 세균에 대한 항진균 활성과 항세균 활성을 동시에 나타내었다. B. polyfermenticus CJ9의 항세균 활성은 $37^{\circ}C$ 에서 24시간 열처리 후에 활성을 상실하였으며, pH 5.0~9.0 구간에서는 안정한 활성을 나타내었으나 pH 3.0~4.0 구간에서 활성이 감소하였다. 항진균 물질은 $121^{\circ}C$에서 15분간 열처리시 활성이 감소되었으나 역가가 완전히 소실되지 않았으며, pH 3.0~9.0 구간에서 안정한 활성을 나타내었다. 항세균 물질과 항진균 물질은 proteinase K, protease, trypsin, $\alpha$-chymotrypsin 등의 단백분해효소 처리로 역가를 상실하거나 일부 감소되어 단백질성 물질임을 추정하였다. B. polyfermenticus CJ9의 항세균 물질과 항진균 물질을 $C_{18}$ Sep-Pak column에 흡착된 분획으로부터 역가를 확인하여 소수성 물질임을 알 수 있었으며, Tricine-SDS-PAGE 및 direct detection 실험을 통하여 분자량을 확인한 결과 항진균 물질은 약 1.4 kDa의 물질임을 확인하였다. 그러나 항세균 활성 물질은 열 불안정성 때문에 동 실험법상에서 그 분자량을 확인할 수 없었다. B. polyfermenticus CJ9이 생산하는 항균 물질은 항세균 및 항진균 활성을 동시에 가지는 단백질성 물질로서 천연 식품보존제 및 정장제재로 활용이 기대되며, 이를 위하여 항세균 물질과 항진균 물질의 정제 및 구조분석 등의 연구가 필요하다.

  • Objective: This study was undertaken to isolate a fibrin(ogen)olytic enzyme from the snake venom of Gloydius blomhoffii siniticus and to investigate the enzymatic characteristics and hemorrhagic activity of the isolated enzyme as a potential pharmacopuncture agent. Methods: The fibrinolytic enzyme was isolated by using chromatography, sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and fibrin plate assay. The characteristics of the enzyme were determined by using fibrin plate assay, protein hydrolysis analysis, and hemorrhage assay. Its amino acid composition was determined. Results: The fibrin(ogen)olytic enzyme with the molecular weight of 27 kDa (FE-27kDa) isolated from G. b. siniticus venom consisted of two heterogenous disulfide bond-linked polypeptides with the molecular weights of 15 kDa and 18 kDa. When more than $20{\mu}g$ of FE-27kDa was applied on the fibrin plate, fibrinolysis zone was formed as indicating its fibrinolytic activity. The fibrinolytic activity was inhibited completely by phenylmethanesulfonylfluoride (PMSF) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and partially by thiothreitol and cysteine. Metal ions such as $Hg^{2+}$ and $Fe^{2+}$ inhibited the fibrinolytic activity completely, but $Mn^{2+}$ did not. FE-27kDa preferentially hydrolyzed ${\alpha}$-chain of fibrinogen and slowly hydrolyzed ${\beta}$-chain, but did not hydrolyze ${\gamma}$-chain. High-molecular-weight polypeptides of gelatin were hydrolyzed partially into polypeptides with molecular weights of more than 45 kDa. A dosage of more than $10{\mu}g$ of FE-27kDa per mouse was required to induce hemorrhage beneath the skin. Conclusion: FE-27kDa was a serine proteinase consisting of two heterogeneous polypeptides, hydrolyzed fibrin, fibrinogen, and gelatin, and caused hemorrhage beneath the skin of mouse. This study suggests that the potential of FE-27kDa as pharmacopuncture agent should be limited due to low fibrinolytic activity and a possible side effect of hemorrhage.

  • Beauveria bassiana F-101, which has high toxicity toward Acantholyda parki as well as Thecodiplosis japonensis, was an isolate to develop an alternative control system against the major forest pests. Up to now, in B. bassiana, only one pr1 gene has been isolated and characterized. Therefore, we here reported the identification of a pr1-like gene, which would be a factor of toxicity from B. bassiana F-101. The oligonucleotides for the amplification of the pr1-like gene, were chosen based on the conserved regions of the subtilisin family enzymes, pr1 genes of B. bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae, and proteinase K of Tritirachium album. The cloned PCR fragment had 1111 bp including 52 bp intron. The deduced Pr1-like peptide showed a low identity with Pr1s of entomopathogenic fungi such as B. bassiana Pr1 (BbPr1) and M. anisopliae Pr1 (MaPr1) as well as the proteinase K of T. album (TaPrK). Instead, the deduced peptide had a substantially high amino acid sequence identity $(>65\%)$ with the serine proteases of Magnaporthe grisea (MgSPM1) and Podospora anserina (PaPspA). These results, therefore, appear to suggest that the putative Pr1-like peptide of B. bassiana F-101 belongs to the subtilisin-like serine protease family and may be a novel gene.
