The effect of protein constituents of six-year old fresh Panax ginseng root on chick embryonic brain, spinal cord and skeletal muscle dissociation cultures was studied. The protein constituents showed the enhancing effect on cultured brain, spinal cord and skeletal muscle cells. The neurite formation from brain and spinal cord cells and the outgrowth of neurite seemed to be enhanced by almost all of the protein constituents employed for this study. The maturation of skeletal muscle cells was stimulated by the protein constituents. This enhancing effect of the protein constituents was more vivid when brain, spinal cord and skeletal muscle cells were cultured with a medium which did not contain chick embryonic extracts known as an essential component for primary cell culture. The protein fraction having molecular weight range of 1,000 to 5,000 out of all the protein fractions employed for this study showed the most stimulatory effect on cultured brain, spinal cord and skeletal muscle cells.

We examined chemical changes in oysters Crassostrea gigas and packing water that were sold after storage at 5, 10, and $20^{\circ}C$. The pH of oysters stored at $5^{\circ}C$ dropped to 5.81 after 10 days of storage, while that of oysters at $10^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ dropped to 5.37 after 8 days and to 5.04 after 4 days, respectively. The glycogen content of oysters stored at $5^{\circ}C$ decreased from 718.89 to 421.85 mg/100g during storage, while that of oysters at $10^{\circ}C$ decreased to 351.49 mg/100 g after 4 days. The turbidity and soluble protein in packing water increased slightly. The viable cell count of oysters did not exceed 6 log CFU/g after 10 days of storage at $5^{\circ}C$, but that of oysters at $10^{\circ}C$ did so after 8 days. Additionally, the viable cell count of packing water was lower than that of oysters. We performed a principal component analysis, where the first principal component (55.03%-57.24%) and second principal component (42.76%-44.97%) described most variation. The first principal component included the pH of oysters and packing water, and the glycogen content of oysters. A Pearson correlation between the first two principal components had a higher R value than that between other components. Freshness was evaluated using the pH of oysters and packing water, and glycogen. We found that soluble protein content was significantly associated with a lower pH and glycogen content.

In Korea, the traditional main food is rice There is a shortage of food, though the land is uesd intensively. The Koreans produce mainly rice its yield is very much higher than other crops. This leads to the comsumption of one type of food and, hence, to an unbalanced diet. Since 1962, Korean income has been going up rapidly, and the demand for animal protein has also increased. In order to solve the probem, the government decided to develop the dairy industry, because this would enable the population to consume more animal protein, and there is weak competion between rice and milk production.

Protein kinase CKII (CKII), a heterotetramer composed of two catalytic ($\alpha$ or $\alpha$') subunits and two regulatory ($\beta$) subunits, plays a critical role in cell proliferation and anti-apoptosis. Recently, capsaicin was shown to trigger apoptosis. Therefore, we examined the effect of capsaicin on CKII activity. Although capsaicin induced apoptotic death in HeLa cells, CKII activity was increased in the cytosolic fraction of HeLa cells after treatment. Capsaicin did not change the expression of the $CKII{\alpha}$ and $CKII{\beta}$ proteins. Capsaicin stimulated the catalytic activity of recombinant CKII tetramer, but not the $CKII{\alpha}$ subunit. Moreover, capsaicin enhanced the autophosphorylation of $CKII{\alpha}$ and $CKII{\beta}$. Taken together, our data suggest that capsaicin stimulates the phosphotransferase activity of CKII holoenzyme by interacting with the $CKII{\beta}$ subunit.

A new glycoprotein was purified from the aqueous methanolic extract of the root bark of Morus alba which has been used as a component of antidiabetic remedy in Oriental Medicine. SDS-PAGE result shows that the molecular weight of the glycoprotein was approximately 20 kDa. This new glycoprotein was named as Moran 20K. The protein lowered blood glucose level in streptozotocin-induced hyperglycemic mice model and it also increased the glucose transport in cultured epididymis fat cells. The amino acid composition of the protein was analyzed, and the protein contained above 20% serine and cysteine such as insulin. The actual molecular weight of the protein was determined as 21.858 Da by MALDI-TOF mass spectroscopy.

Lactophoricin (LPcin-I) is a cationic amphipathic peptide with 23-mer peptide, and corresponds to the carboxy terminal 113-135 region of Component-3 of proteose-peptone. LPcin-I is a good candidate as a peptide antibiotic, because it has an antibacterial activity, but no hemolytic activity. On the other hand, its shorter analog (LPcin-II), which corresponds to the 119-135 region of PP3, has no antibacterial activity. In order to understand the structure-activity relationship under the membrane environments, we succeed to produce large amounts of LPcin-I and LPcin-II peptides. Peptides were over expressed in the form of fusion protein in Escherichia coli, and purified with several chromatography techniques. In this paper, we introduce the optimizing processes of purification and NMR measurement.

Proteomics is a formalized approach for obtaining a rapid snap-shot of the protein complement of a tissue, cell or cell component. Such an approach is powerful in that it allows a parallel assessment of temporal protein fluxes. This is an important concept in view of the dynamic nature of protein expression. Undoubtedly, changes in protein expression are essential in any study aimed at investigating cellular networks. In this study, we analyzed and compared the proteomes of recombinant E. coli strain before and after induction. Proteome expression patterns of recombinant E. coli were resolved on 2D-gels, and the variations in the relative expression level of particular proteins were examined using software-aided protein quantification tool. We observed above 800 spots on a 2D-gel using Melanie II software. Many proteins which involved in chaperones were significantly up-regulated in recombinant E. coli. Therefore, it could be concluded that the expression of recombinant protein in E. coli acted as a stress to the cells, which change cells ability to synthesize proteins and induced the expression of various protective proteins.

The effects of dietary betaine on performance, blood compositions, hepatic amino acid concentrations and hormonal secretions were examined in laying hens. Egg production was significantly higher in birds fed the 16.5 % protein diet compared to those fed 14.5 % protein diet(p<0.05), whereas dietary supplementation of betaine did not show any significant effect. The high level of protein and betaine supplementation significantly improved egg weight, egg mass and feed conversion(p<0.05), while eggshell breaking strength, eggshell thickness and Haugh unit were not influenced by betaine and dietary protein levels. Supplemental betaine did not affect serum total protein, albumin and BUN concentration. However, uric acid concentration significantly increased in 600 ppm betaine-fed groups(p<0.05). Concentrations of most hepatic amino acid were influenced by increased protein feeding and dietary betaine supplementation. Hormone studies recorded significantly higher serum and hepatocyte IGF-I concentration in 600 and 1,200 ppm betaine treatments(p<0.05) compared to those of control group. IGF-I mRNA gene expression of hepatocytes revealed statistically correlated increase in 600 and 1,200 ppm betaine-fed groups compared to the controls(p<0.05). Serum IGFBP-3 concentration was significantly elevated in 600 ppm betaine treatments. However, the secretion of IGFBP-1 in hepatocyte of laying hens fed with 600 and 1,200 ppm of betaine showed a significant decrease compared to the control group(p<0.05). Results of these study show that dietary betaine supplementation affects protein and hormone metabolism in laying hens.
