수리취의 첨가량을 10, 15, 20%로 하여 냉동 수리취 송편을 제조한 다음 해동후 색도, 기계적 품질특성, 관능적 품질특성 평가를 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 수리취를 첨가한 송편의 색도는 수리취 함량이 증가함에 따라 L값은 감소하였고, a값은 음(-)의 값을 나타냈으며 b값은 대조군보다 높은 값으로 첨가량이 증가할수록 증가하는 경향으로 나타났다. 수리취 첨가 냉동 송편의 해동 후 기계적 텍스처 측정 결과 수리취 첨가량에 따라 경도(hardness), 점착성(gumminess), 씹힘성(chewiness)이 유의적으로 증가하고, 응집성(cohesiveness)은 감소하였으며, 탄력성(springiness)은 수리취 비첨가구와 유의적 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 색과 향의 강도는 수리취의 함량이 증가할수록 높은 점수로 평가되었다. 졸깃함, 향, 맛, 텍스처의 기호도는 15% 첨가구가 5.33-6.50점으로 가장 높은 기호도를 나타내었다. 전체적인 기호도는 수리취 20% 첨가구가 가장 낮게 나타났으며, 그 외 실험군은 유의적 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 냉동 수리취 송편의 조직감 향상을 위하여 TGase 처리한 쌀을 이용하여 수리취 송편을 제조하였다. TGase 처리한 쌀을 이용하여 제조한 냉동 수리취 송편의 해동 후 기계적 텍스처 측정에서 비처리구보다 경도, 점착성, 씹힘성이 유의적으로 크게 증가하였다. TGase 처리된 쌀을 이용하여 제조한 냉동 수리취 송편의 해동 후 조직감의 기호도가 크게 상승하였으며, 전체적인 기호도도 7.17점으로 높게 평가되었다. 냉동 수리취 송편 제조 시 쌀에 TGase를 처리하고 수리취를 15% 첨가하는것이 적합하며 이는 관능적인 측면에서 좋은 기호도를 나타내는것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 바탕으로 TGase를 처리한 쌀가루를 이용하여 관능적 특성이 우수한 냉동 수리취 송편의 제조 및 상품화가 가능하다고 판단된다.

All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is currently used in adjuvant differentiation-based treatment of residual or relapsed neuroblastoma (NB). It has been reported that short-term ATRA treatment induces migration and invasion of SH-SY5Y via transglutaminase-2 (Tgase-2). However, the detailed mechanism of Tgase-2's involvement in NB cell invasion remains unclear. Therefore we investigated the role of Tgase-2 in invasion of NB cells using SH-SY5Y cells. ATRA dose-dependently induced the invasion of SH-SY5Y cells. Cystamine (CTM), a well known tgase inhibitor suppressed the ATRA-induced invasion of SH-SY5Y cells in a dose-dependent manner. Matrix metalloproteinase -9 (MMP-9) and MMP-2, well known genes involved in invasion of cancer cells were induced in the ATRA-induced invasion of the SH-SH5Y cells. Treatment of CTM suppressed the MMP-9 and MMP-2 enzyme activities in the ATRA-induced invasion of the SH-SY5Y cells. To confirm the involvement of Tgase-2, gene silencing of Tgase-2 was performed in the ATRA-induced invasion of the SH-SH5Y cells. The siRNA of Tgase-2 suppressed the MMP-9 and MMP-2 activity of the SH-SY5Y cells. MMP-2 and MMP-9 are well known target genes of NF-${\kappa}B$. Therefore the relationship of Tgase-2 and NF-${\kappa}B$ in the ATRA-induced invasion of the SH-SY5Y cells was examined using siRNA and CTM. ATRA induced the activation of NF-${\kappa}B$ in the SH-SY5Y cells and CTM suppressed the activation of NF-${\kappa}B$. Gene silencing of Tgase-2 suppressed the MMP expression by ATRA. These results suggested that Tgase-2 might be a new target for controlling the ATRA-induced invasion of NBs.

In this study, several factors were analyzed in an effort to determine the effects of transglutaminase (TGase) treatment on sodium caseinate (NaCN), ${\alpha}--lactalbumin$ (${\alpha}-La$), and ${\beta}-lactoglobulin$ (${\beta}-Lg$) polymerization reactions. The results of SDSPAGE showed that NaCN was slightly hydrolyzed to molecular weights of 50-400 kDa according to activation time. ${\alpha}-La$ formed high-molecular polymers of 30-300 kDa, whereas ${\beta}-Lg$ remained almost completely unhydrolyzed. Melting temperatures of NaCN, ${\alpha}-La$ with and without TGase were all in the range of $100{\pm}10^{\circ}C$ under the endothermic curve, and the melting temperature of ${\beta}-Lg$ with TGase was lower than that with TGase. When the proteins were incubated for 3 h with TGase, the micrographic structures showed a small quantity of sediment and broad layers. The final ${\alpha}-La$ residues remained at a level of 21.38%, and the TGase-treated ${\alpha}-La$ was confirmed to have undergone a profound loss of mass, to 18.25%. The DPPH-radical scavenging activity of NaCN and ${\beta}-Lg$ with TGase treatment was higher than that observed in the untreated sample, while those of ${\alpha}-La$ increased with concentration.

The purpose of this study was to prepare a binder containing porcine blood transglutaminase (TGase), thrombin and fibrinogen. Extracted TGase, thrombin and fibrinogen were used alone or mixed with different proportions of their volume (v/v/v) by nine combinations as follows were 0.5:1:15, 0.5:1:20, 0.5:1:25, 1:1:15, 1:1:20, 1:1:25, 1.5:1:15, 1.5:1:20 and 1.5:1:25, respectively. Five ml of each combination were mixed with 0.6 ml of 0.25 M calcium chloride before experiment. After storage at 4C for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 weeks, enzyme activity, total plate count, pH value, and SDS-PAGE of TGase, thrombin and fibrinogen were tested and pH value, clotting time and gel strength of the nine combination binders were determined. The results showed that total plate count of thrombin and pH value of TGase were significantly higher (p<0.05) than in other treatments. SDS-PAGE results showed that purified TGase, thrombin and fibrinogen from porcine blood plasma compared with commercial products (Sigma) had the same band patterns and nine different combination binders had no significant effect. Enzymatic activity of TGase and thrombin decreased as storage time increased. Total plate count of TGase, thrombin and fibrinogen and clotting time of the binder increased as storage time increased. The higher amount of fibrinogen in combinations, the stronger the gel strength.

The object in this study is to investigate the effects of high pressure and freezing processes on the curdling of skim milk depending on the presence of transglutaminase (TGase) and glucono-δ-lactone (GdL). Skim milk was treated with atmospheric freezing (AF), high pressure (HP), pressure-shift freezing (PSF) and high pressure sub-zero temperature (HPST) processing conditions. After freezing and pressure processing, these processed milk samples were treated with curdling agents, such as TGase and GdL. Pressurized samples (HP, PSF and HPST) had lower lightness than that of the control. In particular, PSF had the lowest lightness (p<0.05). Likewise, the PSF proteins were the most insoluble regardless of whether they were activated by TGase and GdL, indicating the highest rate of protein aggregation (p<0.05). Furthermore, the TGase/GdL reaction resulted in thick bands corresponding to masses larger than 69 kDa, indicating curdling. Casein bands were the weakest in PSF-treated milk, revealing that casein was prone to protein aggregation. PSF also had the highest G' value among all treatments after activation by TGase, implying that PSF formed the hardest curd. However, adding GdL decreased the G' values of the samples except HPST-treated samples. Synthetically, the PSF process was advantageous for curdling of skim milk.

This study was performed to determine whether transglutaminase (Aciva-TG, TGase) can be used to reduce the salt level in low-fat sausages and to replace emulsified meats (10%) for the manufacture of restructured meat products (RMP). Pork hams and loins were collected from a local retail market in Gwangju, Korea and used for the manufacture of sausages and RMPs, respectively. TGase at the level of 0.1% can permit the reduction of the salt level from 1.5% to 1.0% in low-fat comminuted sausages without any quality defects, however a crumbly texture was found if the salt level was reduced below 1.0% even though it combined with certain amounts of TGase. No differences in chemical composition and physical properties were observed (p>0.05) among treatments. Approximately 0.3% of TGase can replace 10% emulsified meats, which are normally used for improvement of binding capacity to manufacture RMPs, without quality defects. This study suggests that TGase could be used for the manufacture of low-fat, low-salt functional meat products for the improvement of textural characteristics and binding capacity without adverse effects.

원유에서 지방을 제거한 탈지유의 pH를 5.5, 7.0, 8.5로 조정한 다음 TGase를 첨가하여 0, 1, 2, 4, 8시간 반응시킨 후 동결 건조하여 조직의 성상을 주사 전자 현미경을 이용해 관찰, 비교하였다. pH와 TGase를 처리하지 않은 탈지유는 단백질 입자들이 규칙적으로 회합해 있었다. pH 조정 후 TGase를 처리한 다음 반응시간을 달리한 시료에서는 pH를 5.5로 조정한 경우 현저한 변화가 있었는데, 그 변화 양상은 단백질 입자들이 0시간에서 조각을 이루어 회합되어 있다가 1시간 반응시킨 경우 단백질 입자들이 서로 결합하여 넓게 회합하였다. 2시간 반응시킨 경우 단백질 입자들이 다시 뭉쳐서 회합하였으며 4시간 반응시킨 경우 뭉쳐져 있던 단백질 입자들이 조그만 한 구형 성상으로 넓게 회합하였다. 8시간 반응시킨 시료는 구형 성상으로 회합되어 있던 단백질 입자들이 사라지면서 다시 넓게 회합하는 것을 관찰할 수있었다. pH 7.0과 8.5 조건하에서는 단백질 입자들이 조각 형태를 이루고 있었으며 반응시간이 증가할수록 입자들이 넓게 확대되는 현상을 나타냈다. 전반적으로 현미경적 입자의 형태는 pH 5.5로 조정된 시료가 pH 7.0또는 pH 8.5로 처리된 시료들보다 더작게 관찰되었다. 이와 같은 단백질들의 현미경적 변화 양상은 pH TGase처러 그리고 반응시간에 따라 영향을 받고 있는 것으로 사료된다.

Tissue transglutaminase (tTGase) regulates various biological processes, including extracellular matrix organization, cellular differentiation, and apoptosis. Here we report the protective role of tTGase in the cell death that is induced by the tumor necrosis factor $\alpha$ (TNF-$\alpha$) and ceramide, a product of the TNF-$\alpha$ signaling pathway, in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. Treatment with retinoic acid (RA) induced the differentiation of the neuroblastoma cells with the formation of extended neurites. Immunostaining and Western blot analysis showed the tTGase expression by RA treatment. TNF-$\alpha$ or $C_2$ ceramide, a cell permeable ceramide analog, induced cell death in normal cells, but cell death was largely inhibited by the RA treatment. The inhibition of tTGase by the tTGase inhibitors, monodansylcadaverine and cystamine, eliminated the protective role of RA-treatment in the cell death that is caused by TNF-$\alpha$ or $C_2$-ceramide. In addition, the co-treatment of TNF-$\alpha$ and cycloheximide ecreased the protein level of tTGase and cell viability in the RA-treated cells, supporting the role of tTGase in the protection of cell death. DNA fragmentation was also induced by the co-treatment of TNF-$\alpha$ and cycloheximide. These results suggest that tTGase expressed by RA treatment plays an important role in the protection of cell death caused by TNF-$\alpha$ and ceramide.

대표적 사면 보강재료인 시멘트 계열의 보강재는 지반주입 또는 지표 도포 시 지반 및 지하수의 오염이 발생할 수 있다. 이에 따라 친환경 바이오폴리머를 사용한 사면 보강재료가 기존의 재료를 대체할 수단으로 관심받고 있으나, 현재 사용되고 있는 바이오폴리머는 지하수 또는 강우 환경에 노출되면 쉽게 용해되어 강도가 감소되는 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 카제인나트륨과 Transglutaminase(TGase, C₂₀H₁₆N₄O₂S₂)의 단백질 교차결합을 이용하여 바이오폴리머의 내수성을 증가시켰으며, 사면 보강재료로서 사용성과 적용성을 평가하기 위해 강우사면시험을 수행하였다. 카제인나트륨만으로 보강한 경우 강우로 인해 카제인나트륨이 용해되어 1시간 만에 사면이 완전히 파괴되었다. 반면 TGase를 소량(0.5%) 첨가하여 보강한 사면은 내수성이 증가하여 강우 지속시간 80시간이 지나도 붕괴되지 않음을 관찰하였다. TGase 소량 첨가로 인한 강도 및 내수성 증가가 나타났으며, 친환경 보강재로서의 적용성을 확인하였다.
