23종의 amino acid와 fish oil과의 갈변 반응에서 Aw 및 온도의 영향을 조사한 결과 Aw 0.33에서 Aw 0.85에서 3가지 형태를 보였다. Type I은 Aw 0.33과 Aw 0.95에서의 갈변도가 Aw 0.52와 0.75 보다 높은 값을 나타낸 것이며(phenylalanine, trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline, me0thionine, valine), Type II는 수분활성도가 증가할수록 갈변도가 감소한 것이며(poline, leucine, isoleucine, arginine), Type III은 Aw 0,33과 0.95 보다는 Aw 0.52와 0.75에서 높은 갈변도를 나타냈다(tryptophan, cystein, threonine, lysine). 온도에 대한 갈변도의 정도는 높은 온도 의존도를 보였는데 특히 phenylalanine, valine, trans-4-hydroxy-proline 및 methionin이었다. Activation energy는 8~40kcal/mole이었고, $Q_{10}$ 값은 2~10이었다.

We recently reported that Val-SN-38, a novel valine ester prodrug of SN-38, had greatly improved the intracellular accumulation of SN-38 in MCF-7 cell line, probably through enhanced uptake via amino acid transporters. In the present study, the efficacy of Val-SN-38 was further investigated both in vitro and in vivo. It was found that the in vitro cytotoxic effect of Val-SN-38 was similar to that of SN-38. Moreover, Val-SN-38 exhibited an equal potency to that of SN-38 in survival experiments in vivo. Because these results seemed to be contrary to the previous finding, further investigation was performed to find out the underlying cause of the contradiction. As only the lactone form is known to have cytotoxic activity, the proportion of lactone in Val-SN-38 and SN-38 was determined, but no differences were found. However, it turned out that Val-SN-38 had poor stability compared with SN-38, which resulted in a decrease in beneficial efficacy for Val-SN-38. Overall, the present study showed that a valine-added prodrug approach could be advantageous provided that the stability of the compound can be ensured. We believe this is a noteworthy study that unravels the discrepancy between intracellular accumulation and efficacy of valine-added prodrug.

NdgR, a global regulator in soil-dwelling and antibiotic-producing Streptomyces, is known to regulate branched-chain amino acid metabolism by binding to the upstream region of synthetic genes. However, its numerous and complex roles are not yet fully understood. To more fully reveal the function of NdgR, phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to assess the effects of an ndgR deletion mutant of Streptomyces coelicolor. The deletion of ndgR was found to decrease the levels of isoleucine- and leucine-related fatty acids but increase those of valine-related fatty acids. Furthermore, the defects in leucine and isoleucine metabolism caused by the deletion impaired the growth of Streptomyces at low temperatures. Supplementation of leucine and isoleucine, however, could complement this defect under cold shock condition. NdgR was thus shown to be involved in the control of branched-chain amino acids and consequently affected the membrane fatty acid composition in Streptomyces. While isoleucine and valine could be synthesized by the same enzymes (IlvB/N, IlvC, IlvD, and IlvE), ndgR deletion did not affect them in the same way. This suggests that NdgR is involved in the upper isoleucine and valine pathways, or that its control over them differs in some respect.

Valistatin, a new inhibitor of aminopeptidase M(AP-M) was discovered in the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. SL20209 isolated from a soil sample. The inhibitor was purified by extraction with n-butanol and the various column chromatographies, and then isolated as whitish powder. The $^1 H-and ^1 H, ^1 H-COSY$ NMR studies, amino acid analysis, and fragmentation patterns by FAB-MS suggested the presence of one 3-amino-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutanoic acid and two valine residues in the inhibitor. Thus, the structure of valistatin was determined as 3-amino-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutanoyl-valyl-valine. Valistatin has the molecular formular $C_20H_31N_3 O_5$ (MW 394), and its $IC_50$ value against hog kidney AP-M was determined to be 3.12 $mu g/ml$.

The retinae and the lens bodies of the frogs were hydrolyzed with 20% hydrochloric acid, and their amino acids were separated by paper chromatography. As a result of it the following were confirmed : (1) The retinae and the lens bodies were the same incomposition, and aspartic acid, glutamic acid, serine ,tyrosine, glycine, lysine arginine, threonine, alanine, histidine, proline, methionine, valine , phenylalanine, leucine, and two unknown substances were separated. (2) The free amino acids in the retinae were extracted with 80% ethyl alcohol and then separated by paper chromatography. Though their separation was not so definite , serine, gultaminc acid, and glycine were always separated regardless of the amount of the sample. When the amount of the smaple was enough , $\beta$-alanine , ${\gamma}$-amino butyric acid and methionine +valine were also separated.

Cyclosporin A 분자의 구성 아미노산 가운데 분지 아미노산인 valine, leucine, isoleucine, threonine 등에 대한 첨가 효과를 확인한 결과, L-valine 첨가구는 비첨가구보다 cyclosporin A 역가는 3.7배, cyclosporin A 구성비율은 약 40%로 가장 크게 증가하였다. 그리고 L-valine의 최적 농도는 0.75%로서 비첨가구에 비하여 cyclosporin A 역가는 3배, cyclosporin A 구성비율은 30% 증가하였다. 그러나 L-valine 1% 단독 첨가구보다 L-valine 0.5%, L-leucine 0.5% 혼합구가 cyclosporin A 역가에서는 약 16% 우수하였고, cyclosporin A 구성비율에서는 약 5% 증가하였다. 또한 다양한 유기질소원의 첨가 효과를 확인한 결과, meat peptone인 Bacto-peptone 첨가구는 유기질소원 비첨가구보다 cyclosporin A의 역가는 약 2배, cyclosporin A 구성비율은 약 13% 증가하였고, Bacto-peptone의 최적농도는 1%인 것으로 확인되었다. 그러나 Casiton, Tryptone, NZ-amine 등 우유 유래 유기질소원 첨가구의 경우, 비첨가구보다 cyclosporin A 역가가 오히려 약 10-20% 감소하는 현상을 보여 cyclosporin A 생합성을 억제하는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구에서 최적화된 배지 조건에서, 모균주인 T. inflatum ATCC 34921와 UV 조사로 얻어진 4종의 cyclosporin A 고생산 변이주 4종의 생산성을 비교한 결과, 변이주 YHC-004의 cyclosporin A 역가는 3,430 mg/L로 모균주인 ATCC 34921보다 약 7.1배로 증가하였지만, 모균주와 변이주 4종의 cyclosporin A 구성비율은 약 93-94% 범위에서 비슷한 값을 보였다.

저온 환경에서의 생장에 영향을 주는 지방산 합성 관련 유전자 bkdR, sigL, yplP, des들의 역할을 알아보기 위하여 각각 유전자들이 상실된 Bacillus subtilis CU1065와 JH642 돌연변이들을 제조하였다. 이들 유전자들의 저온 민감성을 확인하기 위해 $37^{\circ}C$와 $15^{\circ}C$에서 세포들의 생장을 측정하였다. $37^{\circ}C$에서 야생형과 결실 돌연변이 균주는 거의 유사한 정도의 생장을 보였으나, $15^{\circ}C$에서 오직bkdR 결실 돌연변이만이 야생형에 비해 매우 느린 생장이 관찰되었으며 sigL, yplP 결실의 경우 야생형에 비해 다소 느리거나 유사한 생장을 보였다. bkdR, sigL, yplP 결실에 대한 이중, 삼중 돌연변이를 만들어 LB agar에서 $20^{\circ}C$로 키워 저온생장을 조사한 결과, bkdR 결실이 포함되지 않은 어떤 이중, 삼중 결실들에서는 저온에 민감한 생장을 보이지 않았다. 온도 민감성 특성을 보다 잘 알아보기 위하여 $37^{\circ}C$에서 $OD_{600}=0.4$까지 키워 $15^{\circ}C$로 온도를 내리는 저온충격 조건에서 생장하는 실험을 진행하였다. 이 실험에서 오직bkdR 결실 돌연변이만이 현저히 낮은 생장을 보였으며 추가적인 des 결실은 저온 민감성을 증가시킨다. bkdR은 branched-chain fatty acid을 합성하는 전구물질인 isoleucine, valine, leucine 아미노산을 생산하는 bkd operon을 활성화한다. bkdR 결실 돌연변이의 저온생장에서 이들 아미노산의 저온생장에 미치는 영향을 조사한 결과 isoleucine은 bkdR 결실에 대한 저온 민감성을 회복시켜주나 valine은 저온 민감성을 회복시켜 주지 못하는 결과를 보였다. isoleucine은 분해되어 anteiso-branched 지방산 합성의 전구물질로 만들어지는 반면에, valine은 iso-branched 지방산 합성의 전구물질로 만들어진다. 따라서 저온생장에서 branched-chain fatty acid 중 anteiso-branched 지방산이 중요한 역할을 하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

최소 배지에 여러 아미노산과 대사 산물을 첨가하여 배양시킨 Serratia marcescens ATCC 25419 세포추출물에서여 biodegradative threonine dehydratase (BDTD), biosynthetic threonine dehydratase (BSTD)와 acetolactate syntase (ALS)의 비활성도를 조사하였다. S. marcescens BDTD와 ALS는 낮은 농도 (0.5-2 mM)의 cAMP에 의해 촉진적 조절을 받으며, 비교적 낮은 농도의 isoleucine (1-4 mM)에 의해서는 S. marcescens BSTD의 생합성이 증가되고 높은 농도의 isoleucine (10-30 mM)에서는 감소되고 비교적 낮은 농도의 valine (2-4 mM)에 의해서 S. marcescens ALS의 생합성이 증가되는 것으로 보아 S. marcescens ATCC 25419에서 branched chain 아미노산 생합성 과정의 조절 양상은 Escherichia coli K-12와는 달리, isoleucine의 생합성 과정은 BSTD에 의해 조절되고, valine의 생합성 과정은 ALS에 의해 조절되는 것으로 사료된다.

The inhibitory effect of herbicides such as sulfonylurea derivatives, imidazolinones and pyrimidylsalicylate has been examined on the purified valine sensitive acetolactate synthase (ALS) from Serratia marcescens. The concentration of sulfometuron methyl which inhibits 50% of the ALS activity was 2.5 mM. The required concentrations of triasulfuron, primisulfuron methyl and imazaquin for the 50% inhibition of the ALS activity were 1 mM. The resistance of Serratia ALS to sulfometuron methyl, imazapyr and imazaquin is similar to that of E. coli ALS 1. However, pyrimidylsalicylate showed a potent inhibitory effect on the Serratia ALS almost 13 times more potent than on E. coli ALS II, which is known as herbicide-sensitive isozyme. The inhibitory mode was competitive against pyruvate. 150 value was determined to be $17{\mu}M$ in an assay mixture containing 20 mM pyruvate, and the $K_1$, value was calculated to be $0.4{\mu}m$ from the modified double reciprocal plot of 1/V versus $1/S^2$.
