The Arabidopsis thaliana S-Adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC) cDNA ($GenBank^{TM}$ U63633) was cloned, then the AdoMetDC protein was expressed and purified. The purified AdoMetDC was inactivated by salicylaldehyde in a pseudo first- order kinetics. The secondorder rate constant for inactivation was 126 $M^{-1}min^{-1}$ with the slope of n=0.73, suggesting that inactivation is the result of the reaction of one lysine residue in the active site of AdoMetDC. Site-specific mutagenesis was performed on the AdoMetDC to introduce mutations in conserved $lysine^{81}$ residues. These were chosen by examination of the conserved sequence and proved to be involved in enzymatic activity by chemical modification. Changing $Lys^{81}$ to alanine showed an altered optimal pH. The substrate also provided protection against inactivation by salicylaldehyde. Considering these results, we suggest that the $lysine^{81}$ residue may be involved in catalytic activity.

1981년부터 최 등이 재래종 옥수수의 수집종 가운데서 병발한 한계통(MET)을 분얼이 많이되고 또한 개체당 이삭(수)수도 많아서 사료용 옥수수의 육종재료로 가치가 있다고 생각되었으나 이 옥수수에 대한 유전적 분석이 확실히 되어 있지를 않았다. 따라서 본연구에서는 MET와 비분얼성이며 이삭도 하나 밖에 달리지 않는 수원 19호 (Mo17$\times$B68) 교잡종을 이용하여 F$_1$, F$_2$, BC$_1$, 세대를 양성하고 Mather의 세대평균분석법에 의하여 분석한 결과 MET 계통의 다수.다얼성은 염색체상의 유전인자에 의한 다기 보다 세포질적 유전인자에 의한다는 것을 확인하였다. 이같은 결론은 MET계통을 모계로 하여 교잡한 려잡종 세대에서 확실히 얻을 수가 있었다. 즉 MET 계통을 모계로 이용했을 때의 평균분얼과 이삭수는 MET를 부계로 이용했을 때의 분얼수와 이삭수 보다 많았는데 이는 이같은 특성들이 모계유전을 하기 때문이다. 그러나 이같은 특성들이 F$_1$이나 F$_2$에서 나타나지 않은 것은 F$_1$에서 특히 보여주는 잡종강세현상 때문에 옥수수의 정부우세성이 매우커서 상반적으로 분얼이나 이삭의 발달이 억제되었기 때문이라고 생각된다. 그리고 분얼이나 이삭의 절대수가 모계로 이용했던 MET에서 보다 잡종세대가 진전될수록 적어지는 것은 잡종강세외에도 MET계통의 세포질약 내지 유전인자적 축적량(Dose)이 적어지기 때문이라고 생각되어진다. 이같은 MET계통의 특성은 려교잡에 의한 MET계통의 세포질을 유지하거나 축적하므로써 사료용 옥수수의 육종에 이용될 수 있을 것으로 보여졌다.

본 연구는 한국 여성에서 혈청 ferritin과 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25 (OH) D]와 대사 증후군 (MetS)의 관련성을 평가하기 위해 시행되었다. 다섯 번째 국민 건강 영양 조사 (KNHANES V) (2,010- 2,012)에서 ≥ 20세 이상 성인 9,256명(4,196 폐경 전 여성과 폐경 후 여성 4,340)의 데이터를 분석 하였다. 주요 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, MetS가 없는 여성의 경우 관련 변수 (연령, 흡연, 음주, 규칙적인 운동, SBP, DBP, WM, TC, TG, HDL-C, FPG, Hb, Hct)를 조정 한 후, 비타민 D 상태는 혈청 ferritin 수치와 관련이 있었다 (폐경 전, p <0.001, 폐경 후, p = 0.027). 둘째, MetS를 가진 여성에서 비타민 D 상태는 혈청 ferritin 수치와 관련이 없었다 (폐경 전, p = 0.739, 폐경 후, p = 0.278). 결론적으로, 비타민 D 상태는 MetS가 없는 여성에서는 혈청 ferritin 수준과 양의 상관 관계가 있었지만 MetS가 있는 여성에서는 그렇지 않았다.

The effects of pre-heat treatment(Q/T) on microstructure and hardness of SCM435 structural steel nitrided by micro-pulse plasma was investigated. The quenching and tempering temperatures for obtaining matrix hardness of SCM435 steel on range of HRC30 to HRC40 desired for machine parts were about $860^{\circ}C$ and $500^{\circ}C$ respectively. The case depth of SCM435 nitrided at $480^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours was independent of pre-heat treatment condition and was approximately $150{\mu}m$. However, hardness and compactness of nitrified layer on Q/T treated specimen were more heigher than annealed specimen. The case depth increased linearly with the increase of nitriding temperature, however, the hardness of nitrified layer decreased with the temperature. Phase mixture of ${\gamma}^{\prime}$-phase($Fe_4N$) and ${\varepsilon}$-phase($Fe_3N$) were detected by XRD analysis in the nitrified layer formed at optimum nitriding condition, and only single ${\gamma}^{\prime}$-phase was detected in the nitrified layer formed at higher nitriding temperature such as $540^{\circ}C$. The optimum nitriding temperature was approximately $480^{\circ}C$ which is lower than tempering temperature for preventing softening behavior of SCM435 matrix during nitriding process and the surface hardness of nitrified layer obtained by optimum preheat treatment condition was about Hv930.

Objective : This study concernes the usefulness of $^{11}C-methyl-L-and$ D-methionine[Met]-positron emission tomography[PET] for glioma grading and detection of recurrence in gliomas, compared with fluorine-18, 2-fluoro-deoxyglucose[FDG]-PET. Methods : Eighty patients underwent Met-PET study for evaluation of glioma : 37 astrocytomas [WHO grade II, 3; III, 8; IV, 26]. 27 oligodendrogliomas [WHO grade II, 16; III, 11]. and 12 suspicious recurrent gliomas. All images were taken within 2 weeks before operation. For suspicious recurrent cases on magnetic resonance images, both FDG-PET and Met-PET were performed. Results : In astrocytoma, Mean maximum standard uptake value[SUV] of region of interest[ROI] was not different between WHO grades [p=0.108]. but ROI/normal contralateral tissue SUV [T/N] ratio was statistically different between WHO grades [p=0.002]. T/N ratio was more closely related to visual scale than maximum SUV of ROI [p<0.001 and p=0.107 respectively]. In oligodendroglioma, there was no statistical difference between WHO grades in view of maximum SUV and T/N ratio. For recurrent gliomas, sensitivity of FDG-PET and Met-PET was 25% and 100%, while specificity of FDG-PET and Met-PET were 100% and 80%, respectively. Conclusion : Met-PET might be an appropriate tool for tumor grading in astrocytoma and be more sensitive for detection of recurrence in gliomas than FDG-PET.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of DL-methionine (Met) and DL-methionine hydroxy analogue (MHA) supplementation on the growth performance, contents of serum amino acids and activities of digestive protease in broiler chicks from 0 to 3 weeks old . There were three treatments in this study: (1) control (basal diet), (2) 0.24% Met supplementation and (3) 0.368% MHA supplementation. The results showed that Met and MHA supplementation did not significantly (p>0.05) improve feed efficiency and body weight gain for broilers from 0-1, 0-2 and 0-3 weeks of age. The serum levels of homocystine, methionine and taurine were significantly (p<0.05) higher with supplementation of Met or MHA than with control. The pepsin activity of proventriculus was increased with (p<0.05) Met supplementation at 21 days of age and with MHA supplementation at 7 and 14 days of age. The trypsin activity was also increased (p<0.05) with MHA supplementation at 7 days of age. The chymotrypsin activity in pancreas and the dipeptidase activity in small intestinal mucosa and content were not affected (p>0.05) by Met or MHA supplementation.

Metallothioneins are a class of small cysteine-rich proteins that have been associated with increased tolerance to metal and oxidative stresses in animals, plants, and fungi. We investigated a metallothionein-like (mt-like) gene shown previously to be upregulated in fruiting bodies of the fungus Agaricus bisporus in response to post-harvest storage. Analysis of an A. bisporus genomic DNA cosmid library identified two similar mt-like genes (met1 and met2) arranged as a bidirectional gene pair transcribed from the same promoter region. The promoter contained regulatory elements including 9 metal responsive elements and a CAAT box region 220 bp downstream of met1 that showed striking similarity to a feature in Coprinopsis cinerea mt-like gene promoters. Transcriptional analysis showed that both met genes are significantly and rapidly (within 3 hours) upregulated during post-harvest storage and expression is significantly greater in stipe and cap tissues compared with the gills. However, a strong directionality of the promoter was demonstrated, as transcript levels of met1 were at least two orders of magnitude greater than those of met2 in all samples tested.
