  • The effect of AF-toxin I produced by the strawberry pathotype of Alternaria alternata on the protein synthesis of susceptible strawberry protoplasts was examined by using the radiolabeled amino acids. The incorporation of the radiolabeled amino acids into newly synthesized proteins in the strawberry protoplasts was stimulated by the toxin treatment at relatively low concentrations (2.2$\times$10-11 to 2.2$\times$10-9 M), but not at higher concentrations (2.2$\times$10-8 to 2.2$\times$10-6 M). An one-dimensional SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis revealed no detectable differences in the proteins synthesized in both the toxintreated and untreated protoplasts. The susceptible strawberry protoplasts were treated with AF-toxin I and stained with Fluostain I to detect the extracellular polysaccharides. The toxin treatment induced the accumulation of extracellular polysccharides in a dose-dependent manner. These results indicate a transient activation of cellular metabolism in the susceptible cells by the toxin exposure.

  • In a previous study, we isolated and reported a second species of the Saccharophagus genus, Saccharophagus sp. strain Myt-1. In the present study, an alginate lyase gene (algMytC) from the genomic DNA of Myt-1 was cloned and characterized. The DNA sequence fragment obtained contained an open reading frame of 1,032 bp that encoded a protein of 343 amino acids with an estimated molecular mass of 37.6 kDa and a pI of 6.60. The deduced protein, AlgMytC, had the conserved amino acid sequences (RTELREM, QIH, YFKAGVYNQ) of the polysaccharide lyase family 7. A BLAST homology search indicated that AlgMytC shared an amino acid sequence identity of 95.9% with alg7A of S. degradans 2-40. The cloned and purified AlgMytC protein showed optimal activity at $40^{\circ}C$, and retained more than 90% of its total activity even after treatment at $25^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. AlgMytC was very alkaliphilic with an optimal pH of 9.0, and more than 90% of its activity was retained in the pH range 8.5-10.0. Moreover, AlgMytC was stable over a wide pH range. The activity of AlgMytC was also stable in the presence of various detergents.

  • Phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) is involved in synthesizing extracellular polysaccharide (EPS). The gene encoding PGI in Sphingomonas chungbukensis DJ77 was cloned and expressed in E. coli, and the protein was characterized. The pgi gene from DJ77 is 1,503 nucleotides long with 62% GC content and the deduced amino acid sequence shows strong homology with PGIs from other sources. The molecular masses of PGI subunit and native form were estimated to be 50 kDa and 97 kDa, respectively. Four potentially important residues (H361, R245, E330 and K472) were identified by homology modeling. The mutations, H361A, R245A, E330A, R245K and E330D resulted in decrease in Vmax by hundreds fold, however no significant change in Km was observed. These data suggest that the three residues (H361, R245Aand E330) are likely located in the active site and the size as well as the spatial position of side chains of R245 and E330 are crucial for catalysis.

  • Phosphomannose isomerase (PMI) catalyzes the interconversion of fructose-6-phosphate and mannose-6-phosphate in the extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) synthesis pathway. The gene encoding PMI in Sphingomonas chungbukensis DJ77 was cloned and expressed in E. coli. The pmi gene is 1,410 nucleotides long and the deduced amino acid sequence shares high homology with other bifunctional proteins that possess both PMI and GDP-mannose pyrophosphorylase (GMP) activities. The sequence analysis of PMI revealed two domains with three conserved motifs: a GMP domain at the N-terminus and a PMI domain at the C-terminus. Enzyme assays using the PMI protein confirmed its bifunctional activity. Both activities required divalent metal ions such as $Co^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$ or $Zn^{2+}$. Of these ions, $Co^{2+}$ was found to be the most effective activator of PMI. GDP-D-mannose was found to inhibit the PMI activity, suggesting feedback regulation of this pathway.

  • An alkaline pectate lyase, Bsp165PelA, was purified to homogeneity from the culture broth of alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. N16-5. The enzyme showed a specific activity as high as 1,000 U/mg and had optimum activity at pH 11.5 and $50^{\circ}C$. It was composed of a single polypeptide chain with a molecular mass of 42 kDa deduced from SDS-PAGE, and its isoelectric point was around pH 6.0. It could efficiently depolymerize polygalacturonate and pectin. Characterization of product formation revealed unsaturated digalacturonate and trigalacturonate as the main products. The pectate lyase gene (pelA) contained an open reading frame (ORF) of 1,089 bp, encoding a 36-amino acids signal peptide and a mature protein of 326 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 35.943 Da. The deduced amino acid sequence from the pelA ORF exhibited significant homology to those of known pectate lyases in polysaccharide lyase family 1. Some conserved active-site amino acids were found in the deduced amino acid sequence of Bsp165PelA. $Ca^{2+}$ was not required for activity on pectic substrates.

  • Thermococcus pacificus P-4의 유전체 서열 분석을 통하여 예측되는 GH1 ${\beta}$-glucosidase를 암호화하는 유전자를 동정하였다. 그 유전자는 487 아미노산들을 암호화하는 1,464 bp 나타내었으며, 그 아미노산 서열은 Pyrococcus furiosus ${\beta}$-glucosidase와 77% 상동성을 나타내었다. 그 유전자는 Escherichia coli 시스템 내에서 복제 및 발현하였다. 재조합 된 단백질은 금속 친화크로마토그래피를 통하여 정제하고 특성을 분석하였다. 정제된 단백질(Tpa-Glu)은 pH 7.5와 $75^{\circ}C$에서 최적활성을 나타내었으며, 열안정성은 $90^{\circ}C$에서 약 6시간의 반감기를 보였다. Tpa-Glu는 pNP-${\beta}$-glucopyranoside, pNP-${\beta}$-galactopyranoside, pNP-${\beta}$-mannopyranoside, 그리고 pNP-${\beta}$-xylopyranoside 순으로 우수한 $k_{cat}/K_m$ 값을 나타내었다. 또한, Tpa-Glu는 ${\beta}$-1,3-linked polysaccharide (laminarin) 그리고 ${\beta}$-1,3-와 ${\beta}$-1,4-linked oligosaccharides에 대하여 exo-hydrolyzing 활성을 보였다. 본 연구는 초고온 고세균으로터 ${\beta}$-glucosidase가 exohydrolyzing 활성을 처음 확인한 것으로 이 효소는 laminarin의 당화공정에 ${\beta}$-1,3-endoglucanase와 함께 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • The first option in manure management is developing an environmentally sound nutritional management. This includes proper feeding programs and feeds which will result in less excreted nutrients that need to be managed. Critical components that should be controlled are N, P and minerals that are used at supranutritional levels. Amino acid supplementation and protein restriction reduce N excretion in the monogastric animals. Supplementation with enzymes, such as carbohydrases, phytase and proteases, can be used to reduce excretion of nutrients and feces by improving digestibility of specific nutrients. Growth promoting agents, such as antibiotics, beta-agonists and somatotropin, increase the ability of animals to utilize nutrients, especially dietary protein, which results in reduced excretion of N. Some microminerals, such as Cu and Zn, are supplemented at supranutritional level. Metal-amino acid chelates, metal-proteinates and metal-polysaccharide complexes can be used at a much lower level than inorganic forms of metals without compromising performance of animals. Deodorases can be used to avoid air pollution from animal manure. Nutritional management increases costs to implement. It is necessary to assess the economics in order to find an acceptable compromise between the increased costs and the benefits to the environment and production as well.

  • This study examined the chemical composition of A. blasiliensis and the chemical structural properties of an immuno-stimulating polysaccharide. The amino acids, free sugars, and organic acids by HPLC and fatty acids by GC were analyzed. The immuno-stimulating substance from A. blasiliensis was extracted with hot water and purified by ethanol precipitation. It underwent ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and gel filtration on Toyopearl HW 65F. Through GP-HPLC, the substance was found to be homogeneous. Its chemical structure was determined by $^{13}C-NMR$. Fatty acids, organic acids, and sugar alcohol composition consisted exclusively of linoleic acid, fumaric acid and mannitol, respectively. The amino acids were mainly glutamic acid, glycine, and arginine. By $^{13}C-NMR$ analysis, the immuno-stimulating substance was identified as ${\beta}-(1{\rightarrow}3)\;(1{\rightarrow}6)$-glucan, composed of a backbone with $(1{\rightarrow}3)$-linked D-glucopyranosyl residues branching a $(1{\rightarrow}6)$-linked D-glucopyranosyl residue. The ${\beta}$-glucan from A. blasiliensis showed pronounced immuno-stimulating activity on the antibody-production ability of B-lymphocytes by the hemolytic suspension assay. In these results, A. blasiliensis was estimated to have potent pharmacological properties and potential nutritional values.
