Aspergillus niger 유래의 TG를 공유결합법으로 고정화시키고 고정화된 TG에 대한 효소적 특성을 soluble TG와 비교하였다. Soluble TG의 $K_m$은 21 mM, $V_{max}$는 0.4 mM/min 인데 비해, 고정화 TG의 $K_m$은 184 mM, $V_{max}$는 7.4 mM/min로 나타났다. 고정화 TG는 soluble TG와 같이 최적 pH도 5.0으로 동일하였으나 고정화 TG가 soluble TG에 비해 pH 6.0에서는 45%, pH 7.0에서 16% 더 높은 활성을 보였다. pH에 대한 안정성은 두 형태의 효소 모두 pH 2.0에서 pH 9.0까지의 비교적 넓은 pH 범위에서 90%이상의 활성이 유지되었다. 고정화 TG의 반응최적 온도는 soluble TG가 $60{\sim}70^{\circ}C$인데 반해 $70{\sim}80^{\circ}C$로 향상되었다. 고정화 TG의 열안정성은 soluble TG보다 $32{\sim}40%$이상 더 높은 활성이 유지되었다. 고정화 TG의 열불활성화 곡선으로부터 구한 D-value는 $65^{\circ}C$에서 7690초, $70^{\circ}C$에서 200초, $75^{\circ}C$에서 83초, $80^{\circ}C$에서는 7.2초이고 Z-value는 soluble TG가 $6.4^{\circ}C$, 고정화 TG가 $5.3^{\circ}C$로 나타났다. Soluble TG와 고정화 TG의 효소반응 활성화에너지는 각각 $7.7{\times}10^3\;J/mol,\;8.8{\times}10^3\;J/mol$이었다. 고정화 TG의 반응중 물질전달의 저항은 거의 없는 것으로 판단되었다.

Heat-induced gelation is an important functional property of whey proteins. Preheating of calcium reduced whey was reported to increase gel strength. 5% whey-protein solutions were preheated at pH7 and at various temperatures(60~8$0^{\circ}C$) for 15 minutes. The amount of soluble aggregates and denaturation enthalpy of preheated whey proteins were measured. Preheating temperature was negatively correlated with denaturation enthalpy($R^2$=0.857, P=0.08) and positive with the amount of soluble aggregates($R^2$=0.921, P=0.002). Denaturation enthalpy was negatively correlated with gel strength($R^2$=0.93, P=0.002). Soluble aggregates and gel strength were positively correlated($R^2$=0.972, P=0.0003). The formation of three dimensional gel network requires controlled protein denaturation and aggregation. Since preheating leads to the partial denaturation of proteins and the formation of soluble aggregates, preheated whey proteins have a higher gel strength than non-preheated one.

The $PrP^C$ is expressed in many types of immune cells including monocytes and macrophages, however, its function in immune regulation remains to be elucidated. In the present study, we examined a role for $PrP^C$ in regulation of monocyte function. Specifically, the effect of a soluble form of $PrP^C$ was studied in human monocytes. A recombinant fusion protein of soluble human $PrP^C$ fused with the Fc portion of human IgG1 (designated as soluble $PrP^C$-Fc) bound to the cell surface of monocytes, induced differentiation to macrophage-like cells, and enhanced adherence and phagocytic activity. In addition, soluble $PrP^C$-Fc stimulated monocytes to produce pro-inflammatory cytokines such as $TNF-{\alpha}$, $IL-1{\beta}$, and IL-6. Both ERK and $NF-{\kappa}B$ signaling pathways were activated in soluble $PrP^C$-treated monocytes, and inhibitors of either pathway abrogated monocyte adherence and cytokine production. Taken together, we conclude that soluble $PrP^C$-Fc enhanced adherence, phagocytosis, and cytokine production of monocytes via activation of the ERK and $NF-{\kappa}B$ signaling pathways.

In order to understand the influence of ferroxidase center on the protein assembly and solubility of tadpole ferrin, three mutant plasmids, pTH58K, pTH61G, and pTHKG were constructed with the aid of site-directed mutagenesis and mutant proteins were produced in Eshcerichia coli. Mutant ferritin H-subunits produced by the cells carrying plasmids pTH58K and pTHKG were active soluble proteins, whereas the mutant obtained from the plasmid pTH61G was soluble only under osmotic stress in the presence obtained from the plasmid pTH61G was soluble only under osmotic stress in the presence of sorbitol and betaine. Especially, the cells carrying pTH61G together with the plasmid pGroESL harboring the molecular chaperone genes produced soluble ferritin. The mutant ferritin H-subunits were all assembled into ferritin-like holoproteins. These mutant ferritns were capable of forming stable iron cores, which means the mutants are able to accumulate iron with such modified ferroxidase sites. Further functional analysis was also made on the individual amino acid residues of ferroxidase center.

The shortage or surplus of minerals directly affects overall physiological metabolism of plants; especially, it strongly influences carbohydrate metabolism as a primary response. We have studied mineral uptake, synthesis and partitioning of soluble carbohydrates, and the relationship between them in N, P or K-excessive tomato plants, and examined the interaction between soluble carbohydrates and mineral elements. Four-weeks-old tomato plants were grown in a hydroponic growth container adjusted with excessive N ($20.0mmol\;L^{-1}$ $Ca(NO_3)2{\cdot}4H_2O$ and $20.0mmol\;L^{-1}$ $KNO_3$), P ($2.0mmol\;L^{-1}$ $KH_2PO_4$), and K ($20.0mmol\;L^{-1}$ $KNO_3$), respectively, for 30 days. Shoot growth rates were significantly influenced by excessive N or K, but not by excessive P. The concentrations of water soluble N (nitrate and ammonium), P and K were clearly different with each tissue of tomato plants as well as the mineral conditions. The NPK accumulation in all treatments was as follows; fully expanded leaves (48%) > stem (19%) = roots (16%) = petioles (15%) > emerging leaves (1). K-excessive condition extremely contributed to a remarkable increase in the ratio, which ranged from 2.79 to 10.34, and particularly potassium was dominantly accumulated in petioles, stem and roots. Fresh weight-based soluble sugar concentration was the greatest in NPK-sufficient condition ($154.8mg\;g^{-1}$) and followed by K-excessive (141.6), N-excessive (129.2) and P-excessive (127.7); whereas starch was the highest in K-excessive ($167.0mg\;g^{-1}$) and followed by P-excessive (146.1), NPK-sufficient (138.2) and N-excessive (109.7). Soluble sugar showed positive correlation with dry weight-based total N content (p<0.01) whereas was negatively correlated with soluble P (p<0.01) and dry weight-based total P (p<0.01). On the other hand, starch production was negatively influenced by total N (p<0.001), but, it showed positive relation with total K concentration (p<0.05). This study shows that uptake pattern of NPK and production and partitioning of soluble carbohydrate were substantially different from each mineral, and the relationship between water soluble- and dry weight-based-mineral was positive.

Literature showed that soluble fiber has beneficial effects on cardiometabolic risk factors and leptin and adiponectin serum levels. Our aim in this meta-analysis was to determine the effect of soluble fiber supplementation on leptin and adiponectin serum levels. A systematic search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and ISI Web of Science for eligible trials up to December 2021. A random-effects model was used to pool calculated effect sizes. Our analysis showed that soluble fiber supplementation did not significantly affect adiponectin (standardized mean difference [SMD], -0.49 Hedges's, 95% confidence interval [CI], -1.20, 0.21, p value = 0.167; I² = 95.4, p value < 0.001) and leptin (SMD, -0.8 Hedges's, 95% CI, -1.70, 0.08, p value = 0.076; I² = 94.6, p value < 0.001) concentrations in comparison with placebo. However, in the subgroup, soluble fiber supplementation had a significant improvement in leptin concentration in overweight and obese patients (SMD, -0.22 Hedges's, 95% CI, -0.43, -0.01, p value = 0.048) and a non-significant beneficial effect in adiponectin level in female (SMD, 0.29 Hedges's, 95% CI, -0.13, 0.71, p value = 0.183) and diabetic patients (SMD, 0.32 Hedges's, 95% CI, -0.67, 1.32, p value = 0.526). A non-linear association between soluble fiber dosage and adiponectin (p_{non-linearity} < 0.001) was observed. Soluble fiber supplementation could not change the circulatory leptin and adiponectin levels. However, beneficial effects were seen in overweight and obese leptin, and increases in adiponectin may also be observed in female and diabetic patients. Further studies are needed to confirm this results.
