  • Aminopeptidase M(ApM)을 Cellufine Formyl 에 고정화시켜 고정화 효소의 반응특성을 고찰하고, 고정화 ApM을 충진한 column reactor를 이용하여 메치오닐 인간 성장 호르몬(met-hGH)으로부터 천연형 인간 성장 호르몬(hGH)의 연속 생산을 검토 하였다. Cellufine Formyl 19 gel당 2.3mg의 ApM 이 결합되었을 때 met-hGH의 hGH로의 전환능력이 가장 우수하였다. Soluble enzyme과 고정화 효 소의 반응 최적 pH는 7.0, 반응 최적 온도는 $55^{\circ}C$로 통일하였으나 고정화에 의해 pH 벙위가 보다 넓 어졌으며, column reactor에서 연속 운전시 최적온 도 역시 $55^{\circ}C$로 나타났다. Column reactor를 이용 한 천연형 hGH의 연속 생산시 met-hGH가 100% 전환되는 조건에서 hGH 수율과 생산성은 각각 약 77%와 약 0.8mg hGH/ml.h이었다. 반응기 크기 를 5배 증가시켰을 때 두 반융기에서 유속 SV 값이 통일하면 met-hGH 전환율과 hGH 수율이 통일하 였으며, 90일간의 연속 운전 결과로 예측한 column reactor의 반감기는 45t에서 228일, $55^{\circ}C$에서 81 일로 비교척 안정하였다.

  • Methionine aminopeptidase (MetAP) catalyzes the removal of an amino-terminal methionine from a newly synthesized polypeptide. The enzyme was purified to homogeneity from Bacillus stearothermophilus (KCTC 1752) by a procedure that involves heat precipitation and four sequential chromatographs (including DEAE-Sepharose ion exchange, hydroxylapatite, Ultrogel AcA 54 gel filtration, and Reactive red 120 dye affinity chromatography). The apparent molecular masses of the enzyme were 81,300 Da and 41,000 Da, as determined by gel filtration chromatography and sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), respectively. This indicates that the enzyme is comprised of two identical subunits. The MetAP specifically hydrolyzed the N-terminal residue of Met-Ala-Ser that was used as a substrate, and exhibited a strong preference for Met-Ala-Ser over Leu-Gly-Gly, Leu-Ser-Phe, and Leu-Leu-Tyr. The enzyme has an optimal pH at 8.0, an optimal temperature at $80^{\circ}C$, and pI at 4.1. The enzyme was heat-stable, as its activity remained unaltered when incubated at $80^{\circ}C$ for 45 min. The Km and Vmax values of the enzyme were 3.0mM and 1.7 mmol/min/mg, respectively. The B. stearothernmophilus MetAP was completely inactivated by EDTA and required $Co^{2+}$ ion(s) for activation, suggesting the metal dependence of this enzyme.

  • 이 연구에서는 복부비만을 가진 고령여성을 대상으로 대사증후군 동반 유무에 따른 대사증후군 위험요인과 hs-CRP와의 관련성에 대해 알아보고자 하였다. 대사증후군 진단은 AHA/NHLBI (American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute) 2005년 기준에 따라 5가지 기준 중 3개 이상 해당되는 경우 대사증후군 진단군(MetS, N=77), 2개이하의 위험요인에 해당하는 경우 대조군(Absent, N=97)으로 분류하였다. hs-CRP 농도는 대사증후군 위험요인과 밀접한 관련이 있으며, 특히 복부비만(r=0.190, p=0.014), 공복혈당(r=0.240, p=0.002), HDL-콜레스테롤(r=-0.164, p=0.035)과 연관이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 대조군보다 대사증후군 진단군에서 hs-CRP가 높게 나타났으며(p=0.007), 복부비만 상태일지라도 높은 혈당(p=0.006)과 낮은 HDL-콜레스테롤혈증(p=0.010)의 위험요인이 있는군에서 hs-CRP가 높았다. 결론적으로 복부비만이 있더라도 대사증후군 위험요인의 동반 유무에 따라 염증관련 위험도가 달라짐을 알 수 있었다.

  • Objectives: This study was performed to investigate the associations between the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and inflammatory markers. Methods: This cross-sectional analysis was performed using data from 1578 Koreans aged 40-69 years residing in a rural area. We investigated associations between MetS and circulating high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), white blood cells (WBC) and adiponectin. MetS was defined using the criteria proposed by the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP-III). Results: Increased WBC counts and hs-CRP levels and decreased adiponectin levels were observed in subjects with MetS. WBC, hs-CRP and adiponectin levels linearly deteriorated with an increase in the number of MetS components (all ptrend <0.005). Finally, adjusted odds ratios (ORs) for the risk of MetS by increase/decrease in 3 inflammatory markers were calculated by multivariate logistic regression analyses. In terms of changes in inflammation markers, in men, the adjusted ORs (95% confidence interval) were 1.15 (1.01-1.31) for WBC, 1.64 (1.02-2.64) for hs-CRP, and 0.19(0.08-0.45) for adiponectin, whereas corresponding adjusted ORs (95% Cls) in women were 1.27 (1.15-1.40), 0.98 (0.67-1.42), 0.09 (0.04-0.18), respectively. Conclusions: Serum adiponectin levels and WBC counts were found to be strongly associated with MetS in both sexes. However, hs-CRP lost its significance after adjusting for BMI and other inflammatory markers in women. This study shows that inflammatory response is associated with MetS in the Korean population. Further prospective studies are necessary to confirm the contribution made by inflammatory markers to the development of MetS.

  • Plant pathogenic Pectobacterium species cause severe soft rot/blackleg diseases in many economically important crops worldwide. Pectobacterium utilizes plant cell wall degrading enzymes (PCWDEs) as the main virulence determinants for its pathogenicity. In this study, we screened a random mutant, M29 is a transposon insertion mutation in the metC gene encoding cystathionine β-lyase that catalyzes cystathionine to homocysteine at the penultimate step in methionine biosynthesis. M29 became a methionine auxotroph and resulted in growth defects in methionine-limited conditions. Impaired growth was restored with exogenous methionine or homocysteine rather than cystathionine. The mutant exhibited reduced soft rot symptoms in Chinese cabbages and potato tubers, maintaining activities of PCWDEs and swimming motility. The mutant was unable to proliferate in both Chinese cabbages and potato tubers. The reduced virulence was partially restored by a complemented strain or 100 µM of methionine, whereas it was fully restored by the extremely high concentration (1 mM). Our transcriptomic analysis showed that genes involved in methionine biosynthesis or transporter were downregulated in the mutant. Our results demonstrate that MetC is important for methionine biosynthesis and transporter and influences its virulence through Pcc21 multiplication in plant hosts.

  • BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Although the association of body mass index (BMI) with metabolic syndrome (MetS) is well documented, there is little knowledge on the independent and joint associations of BMI and physical activity with MetS risk based on a continuous scoring system. This study was designed to explore the effect of physical activity on interactions between excess body weight and continuous metabolic syndrome (cMetS) in a nationwide survey of Iranian children and adolescents. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Data on 5,625 school students between 10 and 18 years of age were analyzed. BMI percentiles, screen time activity (STA), leisure time physical activity (LTPA) levels, and components of cMetS risk score were extracted. Standardized residuals (z-scores) were calculated for MetS components. Linear regression models were used to study the interactions between different combinations of cMetS, LTPA, and BMI percentiles. RESULTS: Overall, 984 (17.5%) subjects were underweight, whereas 501 (8.9%) and 451 (8%) participants were overweight and obese, respectively. All standardized values for cMetS components, except fasting blood glucose level, were directly correlated with BMI percentiles in all models (P-trend < 0.001); these associations were independent of STA and LTPA levels. Linear associations were also observed among LTPA and standardized residuals for blood pressure, high-density lipoprotein, and waist circumference (P-trend < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that BMI percentiles are associated with cMetS risk score independent of LTPA and STA levels.

  • [Purpose] This study analyzed data from the 7th Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2016-2018) to compare the differences in energy intake and physical activity (PA) levels in middle-aged Korean men aged 40-59 years according to household type and the presence of metabolic syndrome (MetS). [Methods] Data from 2,266 young adults (aged >39 years and <60 years) were obtained from the KNHANES. We analyzed the differences in energy intake and PA levels according to household type and MetS. The presence or absence of MetS was determined by measuring waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, triglyceride, and HDL-C levels. [Results] Regarding total nutritional intake, no relationship with MetS was observed regardless of household type (interaction between MetS and household type: p = 0.875). No differences in total PA were observed between multiple- and single-person households (interaction between MetS and household type: p = 0.122). The relationship between MetS and MetS components according to nutritional intake showed that participants with a higher energy intake had a 27% lower prevalence of low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (p < 0.05) and a 36% higher prevalence of high blood pressure (p < 0.01). The relationship between MetS and MetS components according to the PA level showed significantly reduced prevalence of MetS by approximately 39%, 35%, and 43% (p < 0.01, 0.01, and 0.001) in subjects who were somewhat active, active, and very active, respectively, compared to inactivity. [Conclusion] Middle-aged men showed no difference in nutritional intake and PA between multiple- and single-person households. However, the risk of MetS was significantly higher in participants with approximately 1.5 times the energy intake compared to the group with the lowest energy intake. Moreover, higher levels of PA had a marked positive effect on the risk factors and prevalence of MetS. Therefore, we suggest that reducing the total energy intake and increasing total PA are important for preventing MetS in middle-aged men regardless of household type.

  • 본 연구는 미기후 분석 프로그램인 ENVI-met 모델의 정확도를 검증하기 위해 경상남도 창원시를 대상으로 도시지역의 주요 토지이용 유형별 공간특성을 고려하여 선정된 조사구역의 현장측정 기상자료와 비교하였다. 현장측정은 주간시간대 2일, 야간시간대 1일 총 3일간이동식으로 측정하였고, ENVI-met 모델링은 현장측정과 동일한 시간대로 설정하여 수행하였다. 측정항목별 분석결과에 따르면, 주간시간대의 순복사에너지는 ENVI-met 모델링이 현장측정값보다 약 $300Wm^{-2}$ 정도 높았고, 야간시간대는 현장측정값이 $200Wm^{-2}$ 정도 더 높았다. 기온은 주간 및 야간 시간대 모두 현장 측정값이 약 $3{\sim}6^{\circ}C$ 정도 더 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 표면온도도 현장측정값이 ENVI-met 모델링보다 약 $7{\sim}13^{\circ}C$ 더 높았다. 풍속은 ENVI-met 모델링과 현장측정값 간의 차이가 매우 큰 것으로 나타났다. 회귀분석 결과에서는 기온자료의 $R^2$값이 약 0.6정도로 비교적 높게 나타난 반면에, 나머지 순복사에너지와 표면온도, 풍속은 낮은 상관성을 보였다. 이는 ENVI-met 모델링이 태양 및 지구복사에너지를 과대 또는 과소 예측하고 있으며, 모델링 및 현장측정을 위해 선정된 조사구역들을 둘러싸고 있는 인접한 주변 지역의 공간구조적, 미기후적 특성 차이에 의한 영향으로 판단된다. 따라서 향후 이에 대한 보다 면밀한 실증적 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
