쌀의 돌연변이 억제초과를 검토하기 위해 여러 돌연변이 유발원(3-amino-1,4-dimethyl-5H-pyrido [4,3-b]indole(Trp-P-1), 3-amino-1-methyl-5H-pyrido [4,3-b]indole(Trp-P-2), sodium azide(SA), 2-nitrofluorene(2NF), mitomycin C(MMC), aflatoxin $B_1(AFB_1)$ 및 4-nitroquinoline oxide(4-NQO))에 대한 쌀 추출물들의 억제효과를 Salmonella typhimurium reversion assay, SOS chromotest 및 spore rec-assay로 조사하였다. S. typhimurium TA 98 및 TA 100을 이용한 Salmonella typhimurium reversion assay에서 현미(일품벼) 메탄올 추출물이 핵산, 클로로포름 및 물 추출물 보다 억제효과가 크게 나타났다. 메탄올 추출물의 경우, 간접변이원(Trp-P-1, Trp-P-2 및 $AFB_1$)에 대한 억제효과가 약 85% 이상으로써, 직접변이원(4-NQO, 2NF)에 대한 효과 보다 크게 나타났다. 메탄올 추출물은 E. coli PQ37을 이용한 SOS chromotest에서도 Trp-P-1, Trp-P-2, $AFB_1$ 및 4-NQO에 의한 SOS유도에 대해 $77.6{\sim}88.9%$의 억제작용을 나타내었고, B. subtilis $H17(rec^+)$과 $M45(rec^-)$를 사용한 spore recassay에서도 양성대조구인 $AFB_1$ 및 MMC에 의한 저지대의 차이를 감소시켜 억제작용을 나타내었다. 현미(일품벼)의 메탄올 추출물은 농도가 증가함에 따라 돌연변이 억제효과가 증가하였으나, 농도가 5 mg/plate(5%) 이상에서는 억제효과가 약 90%로 일정하였다. 쌀 품종별 메탄올 추출물의 억제효과는 조사된 11개 품종 모두에게서 나타나, 직접변이원인 2NF에 대해 $4.1{\sim}75.2%$의 억제를, 간접 변이원인 Trp-P-1에 대해 $99.5{\sim}100.2%$의 억제를 나타내었다. 백미와 현미(일품벼)간의 돌연변이 억제효과를 비교해 볼 경우, Trp-P-1 및 Trp-P-2에 의한 변이에 대해서는 차이가 없었으나(p>0.05), 4-NQO에 의한 변이에 대해서는 현미의 효과가 높았다(p<0.05).

Thioredoxin (Trx) is a small redox protein that is ubiquitously distributed from achaes to human. In diverse organisms, the protein is involved in various physiological roles by acting as electron donor and regulators of transcription and apoptosis as well as antioxidants. Sequences of Trx within various species are 27～69% identical to that of E. coli and all Trx proteins have the same overall fold, which consists of central five β strands surrounded by four α helices. The N-terminal cysteine in WCGPC motif of Trx is redox sensitive and the motif is highly conserved. Compared with general cysteine, the N-terminal cysteine has low pKa value. The result leads to increased reduction activity of protein. Recently, novel thio.edoxin-related protein (TRP14) was found from rat brain. TRP14 acts as disulfide reductase like Trx1, and its redox potential and pKa are similar to those of Trx1. However, TRP14 takes up electrons from cytosolic thioredoxin reductase (TrxR1), not from the mitochondrial thioredoxin reductase (TrxR2). Biological roles of TES14 were reported to be involved in regulating TNF-α induced signaling pathways in different manner with Trx1. In depletion experiments, depletion of TRP14 increased TNF-α induced phosphorylation and degradation of IκBα more than the depletion Trx1 did. It also facilitated activation of JNK and p38 MAP kinase induced by TNF-α. Unlike Trx1, TRP14 shows neither interaction nor interference with ASK1. Here, we determined three-dimensional crystal structure of TRP14 by MAD method at 1.8Å. The structure reveals that the conserved cis-Pro (Pro90) and active site-W-C-X-X-C motif, which may be involved in substrate recognition similar to Trx1 , are located at the beginning position of strand β4 and helix α2, respectively. The TRP14 structure also shows that surface of TRP14 in the vicinity of the active site, which is surrounded by an extended flexible loop and an additional short a helix, is different from that of Trx1. In addition, the structure exhibits that TRP14 interact with a distinct target proteins compared with Trx1 and the binding may depend mainly on hydrophobic and charge interactions. Consequently, the structure supports biological data that the TRP14 is involved in regulating TNF-α induced signaling pathways in different manner with Trx1.

Amide analogs of tridecapeptide ${\alpha}$-factor (WHWLQLKPGQPMYCONH$_2$) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in which Trp at position 1 and 3 were replaced with other residues, were synthesized to ascertain whether cooperative interactions between two Trp residues occurred upon binding with its receptor. Analogs containing Ala or Aib at position 3 of the peptide $[Ala_3]{\alpha}$-factor amide (2) and $[Aib_3]{\alpha}$-factor amide (5) exhibited greater decreases in bioactivity than analogs with same residue at position one $[Ala^1]{\alpha}$-factor amide (1) and $[Aib^1]{\alpha}$-factor amide (4), reflecting that $Trp^3$ may plays more important role than $Trp^1$ for agonist activity. Analogs containing Ala or Aib in both position one and three 3, 6 exhibited complete loss of bioactivity, emphasizing both the essential role and the combined role of two indole rings for triggering cell signaling. In contrast, double substituted analog with D-Trp in both positions 9 exhibited greater activity than single substituted analog with D-Trp 8 or deleted analog 7, reflecting the combined contribution of two tryptophane residues of ${\alpha}$-factor ligand to activation of Ste2p through interaction with residue $Tyr^{266}$ and importance of the proper parallel orientation of two indole rings for efficient triggering of signal G protein coupled activation. Among ten amide analogs, $[Ala^{1,3}]{\alpha}$-factor amide (3), $[Aib^{1,3}]{\alpha}$-factor amide (6), [D-$Trp^3]{\alpha}$-factor amide (8) and [des-$Trp^1,Phe^3]{\alpha}$-factor amide (10) were found to have antagonistic activity. Analogs 3 and 6 showed greater antagonistic activity than analogs 8 and 10.

Ultraviolet resonance Raman (UVRR) spectroscopy was used to elucidate the dynamic change of the protein structure of bacteriorhodopsin (BR) during the photocycle. The photointermediates minus light- adapted (LA) BR difference spectra show Trp difference signals, which are assigned to Trp189 or Trp182 on helix F by using the mutants, W182F and W189F. The Difference signals of Trp 182 indicates an increase in hydrogen bonding strength at the indole nitrogen and a large change in the side chain conformation (X$\^$2,1/ torsion angle) in the M$_1$ \longrightarrow M$_2$ transition. On the other hand, Trp189 shows an increased hydrophobic interaction. These results suggest that the tilt of helix F occurs in the M$_1$\longrightarrow M$_2$ transition. In the M$_2$ \longrightarrow N transition, the hydrophobic interaction of Trp182 decreases drastically, The decrease in hydrophobic interaction of Trp182 in the N state suggests an invasion of water molecules that promote the proton transfer from Asp96 to the Schiff base. Structural reorganization of the protein after the tilt of helix F may be important for efficient reprotonation of the Schiff base.

증폭된 재조합 trp operon의 발현을 위한 숙주박테리아 개발의 일환으로 숙수 E. coli에 $aroP^{-}$ 변이를 도입하였다. $aroP^{-}$ 변이의 유도에는 trans po son Tn10을 사용하였으며 P1Kc파아지를 이용하여 숙주박테리아에 형질도입하였다. General aromatic amino acid transport system이 결여된 $aroP^{-}$ 변이주는 $\beta$-thienylalanine ($(2{\times}10^{-4}M)$). p-fluor-phenylalanine ($(2{\times}10^{-4}M)$) 그리고 5-methyltryptophan에 저항성을 가졌다. $aroP^{-}$ 변이주는 $aroP^{-}$ 야생주에 비해서 〔$[^3H]$-tryptophan uptake가 상당히 감소하였다. 또한 NaN, ($(2{\times}10^{-4}M)$)를 처리하였을 때의 ($[^3H]$)-tryptophan uptake 비율은 aroP 변이주가 $aroP^{-}$야생주보다 덜 감소하였다. E. coli $trpR^{-ts}/ColE_1 -trp^+$ 균주에 aroP 형질을 도입하였을 때 트립토판 방출이 $aroP^{-}$ 야생주에 비해서 4 배나 증가하였다.

Temperature signaling can be initiated by members of transient receptor potential (thermo-TRP) channels. Hot and cold substances applied to teeth usually elicit pain sensation. Since odontoblasts constitute a well-defined layer between the pulp and the mineralized dentin, being first to encounter thermal stimulation from oral cavity, they may be involved in sensory transduction process, in addition to their primary function as formation of dentin. We investigated whether thermo-TRP channels are expressed in a odontoblast cell line, MDPC-23. The expressions of thermo-TRP channels were examined using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), immunohistochemistry, fluorometric calcium imaging. Analysis of RT-PCR revealed mRNA expression of TRPV1, TRPV2, TRPV4 and TRPM8, but no TRPV3, TRPA1. Immunohistochemical approach failed to detect TRPV1 expression. Whereas the application of 4-phorbol-12,13-didecanoate($10\;{\mu}M$, a TRPV4 agonist), menthol(1 mM, a TRPM8 agonist) and icilin($10\;{\mu}M$, a TRPM8 agonist) produced the enhancement of intracellular calcium concentration, capsaicin($1\;{\mu}M$, a TRPV1 agonist) did not. Our results suggest that subfamily of thermo-TRP channels expressed in odontoblasts may serve as thermal or mechanical transducer in teeth.
