담자균류로부터 치매 예방 및 치료 효과를 갖는 생물활성물질을 탐색하기 위한 기초 자료를 확립하기 위하여 56종의 배양 균사체 메탄을 추출물 및 배양 여액의 ethylacetate(EtOAc) 가용성 분획에 대하여 prolylendopeptidase(PEP), acetylcholine esterase(AChE) 및 혈전 응고에 대한 저해활성을 측정하였다. 그 결과 PEP에 대하여 Amanita aspera, Phellinus chrysoloma의 균사체 추출물 및 배양여액의 EtOAc 가용성 분획이 40ppm에서 모두 90% 이상의 저해활성을 나타내었으며 분홍껍질고약버섯(Peniophora quercina), 잎새버섯(Grifola frondosa), Wolfiporia extensa, 좀나무싸리버섯(Clavicorona pyxidata) 및 Phanerochaete soy교교의 배양액이 90% 이상의 저해활성을 나타내었다. AChE에 대하여는 40ppm 농도에서 어느 것도 강한 활성을 나타내지 못하였으나 조개껍질버섯(Lenzites betulina), Phellinus chrysoloma, Wolfiporia extensa, Phanerochaete sordida의 균사체 추출물과 Hypocrea nigricans, Coriolus azureus, 팽나무버섯(Flammuzina velutipes), Phlebiopsis gigantea 및 Bondarzewia montana의 배양여액 EtOAc 가용성 분획이 40% 정도의 저해활성을 나타내었다. 한편 혈전응고 저해활성의 지표로 삼은 thrombin times(TT) assay에서는 Amanita aspera, Oxyporus latemarginata, 분홍껍질고약버섯(Peniophora quercina), 말굽버섯(Fomes fomefarius)의 배양여액 EtOAc 추출물과 Clitocybe clavipes, Trametes versicolor, Phlebiopsis gigantea의 균사체 추출물이 550 ppn의 농도에서 혈전 생성에 걸리는 시간을 2배 내지 3배 연장하는 효과를 나타내었으나 activated partial thromplastin times(APTT) assay에서는 어느 것도 효과를 인정할 수 없었다.

For biohydrogen production, hydrogenase is a key enzyme. In the present work we performed search of [NiFe]-hydrogenases from hydrogen producing microorganisms using degenerate polymerase chain reaction (PCR) strategy. Degenerate primers were designed from the conserved region of [NiFe]-hydrogenase group I especially on structural genes encoding for catalytic subunit of [NiFe]-hydrogenase from bacteria producing hydrogen. Most of [NiFe]-hydrogenase (group I) are expressed via complex mechanism with aid of auxiliary protein and localized through twin-arginine translocation pathway. [NiFe]-hydrogenase is composed of large and small subunits for catalytic activity. It is known that only small subunit has signal peptide for periplasmic localization and large & small subunitscome together before localization. During this process, large subunit is treated by endopeptidase for maturation. Based on these information we used signal peptide sequence and C-terminal of large subunit by recognized by endopeptidase as templates for degenerate primers. About 2,900 bp of PCR products were successfully amplified using the designed degenerate primers from genomic DNAs of several microorganisms. The amplified PCR products were inserted into T-vector and then sequenced to confirm.

고상법으로 새로운 반응기구에 의한 bradykinin 및 $(D-Phe7\;-Leu^8)$ bradykinin을 합성하였다. Coupling은 N, N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide로 행하였으며 HBr 용액으로 cleavage한 후 조펩티드는 high pressure liquid chromatography로 정제하였다. 이들 펩티드의 순도는 paper chromatography, thin layer chromatography, paper electrophoresis, 융점측정기 및 아미노산기분석기에 의하여 분석하였다. Endopeptidase인 ${\alpha}-chymotrypsin$과 trysin, exopeptidase인 carboxypeptidase A와 leucine aminopeptidase를 사용하여 in vitro 상에서 이들 펩티드의 분해실험을 하였다. ${\alpha}-Chymotrypsine$ 및 carboxypeptidase A에 의하여 이들 펩티드는 빠르게 분해하였으나 leucine aminopeptidase는 N-말단의 2번 위치에 proline의 imino결합 때문에 분해하지 않았다.

The extracellular bacteriolytic enzyme from alkalophilic Bacillus sp. YJ-451 was endopeptidase which hydrolyzes the peptide bond at the amino group of D-glutamic acid in the peptidoglycan. Protoplast transfomation system of B. subtilis by the lytic enzyme that differs, in mechanisms, from lysozyme which was used to transformation of B. subtilis was investigated. High protoplast yield was obtained from cells cultured in PAB at the late logarithmic growth phase.

Streptococcus mutans has the capacity of inducing dental caries. Thus, to develop a novel way of preventing dental caries, a cell wall hydrolase-producing strain was isolated and its characteristics were investigated. Among 200 alkalophilic strains isolated from soil, 8 strains exhibited lytic activities against Streptococcus mutans. However, strain YU5215 with the highest cell wall hydrolase activity was selected for further study. Strain YU5215 was identified as a novel strain of Bacillus based on analyzing its 16S rDNA sequence and Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, and thus designated as Bacillus mutanolyticus YU5215. The optimal conditions for the production of the cell wall hydrolase from Bacillus mutanolyticus YU5215 consisted of glucose ($0.8\%$), yeast extract ($1.2\%$), polypeptone ($0.5\%$), $K_{2}HPO_{4}\;(0.1\%$), $MgSO_{4}{\cdot}7H_{2}O$ ($0.02\%$), and $Na_{2}CO_{3}\;(1.0\%$) at pH 10.0. Bacillus mutanolyticus YU5215 was cultured at 30^{circ}C for 72 h to produce the cell wall hydrolase, which was then purified by acetone precipitation and CM-agarose column chromatography. The molecular weight of the lytic enzyme was determined as 22,700 Da by SDS-PAGE. When the cell wall peptidoglycan of Streptococcus mutans was digested with the lytic enzyme, no increase in the reducing sugars was observed, while the free amino acids increased, indicating that the lytic enzyme had an endopeptidase-like property. The amino terminus of the cell wall peptidoglycan digested by the lytic enzyme was determined as a glutamic acid, while the lytic site of the lytic enzyme in the Streptococcus mutans peptidoglycan was identified as the peptide linkage of L-Ala and D-Glu.

To investigate the feasibility of mucosal delivery of $[D-Ala^6]$ LHRH, a potent analogue of LHRH, enzymatic proteolysis of $[D-Ala^6]$ LHRH and inhibitory effect of medium chain fatty acid salts(MFA) were studied using rabbit mucosal homogenate. $[D-Ala^6]$ LHRH incubated in homogenates of rectal(RE), nasal(NA) and vaginal(VA) mucosa were assayed by HPLC. The degradation of $[D-Ala^6]$ LHRH followed the first order kinetics. The degradation products were found as $[D-Ala^6]$ $LHRH^{1-7}$(m-i), to a lesser extent, $[D-Ala^6]$ $LHRH^{1-9}$(m-ii) and $[D-Ala^6]$ $LHRH^{1-3}$(m-iii) by the method of amino acid analysis(PITC method). The formation of$[D-Ala^6]$ $LHRH^{1-7}$ was not inhibited by the addition of disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid but inhibited by sodium tauro-24,25-dihydrofusidate, suggesting that endopeptidase 24.11(EP 24.11) cleaves the $Leu^7-Arg^8$ bond of $[D-Ala^6]$ LHRH and is the primary $[D-Ala^6]$ LHRH degrading enzyme. The patterns of $[D-Ala^6]$ LHRH degradation indicated that EP 24.11 exists in each mucosal homogenate with the order of RE>NA>VA. MFA significantly inhibited the proteolysis of $[D-Ala^6]$ LHRH. The addition of sodium caprate(1.0%) or sodium laurate(0.5%) to the each mucosal homogenate completely protected $[D-Ala^6]$ LHRH from the degradation.

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have cardioprotective effects in different species including human. This cardioprotective effect is mainly due to the inhibition of bradykinin (BK) degradation rather than inhibition of the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensir. II. Bradykinin, a nonapeptide, has been considered to be the potential target for various enzymes including ACE, neutral endopeptidase 24.11, carboxypeptidase M, carboxypeptidase N, proline aminopeptidase, endopeptidase 24.15, and meprin. In the present study, the coronary vascular beds of Sprague Dawley rat isolated hearts were perfused (single passage) with Krebs solution alone or with different concentrations of BK i.e. $2.75{\times}10^{-10},\;10^{-7},\;10^{-6}\;and\;10^{-5}M$ solution. Percent degradation of BK was determined by radioimmunoassay. The degradation products of BK after passing through the isolated rat-hearts were determined using RP-HPLC and mass spectroscopy. All the four doses of BK significantly decreased the perfusion pressure during their passage through the hearts. The percentage degradation of all four doses was decreased as the concentration of drug was increased, implying saturation of a fixed number of active sites involved in BK degradation. Bradykinin during a single passage through the hearts degraded to give [1-7]-BK as the major metabolite, and [1-8]-BK as a minor metabolite, detected on HPLC. Mass spectroscopy not only confirmed the presence of these two metabolites but also detected traces of [1-5]-BK and arginine. These findings showed that primarily ACE is the major cardiac enzyme involved in the degradation of bradykinin during a single passage through the coronary vascular of bed the healthy rat heart, while carboxypeptidase M may have a minor role.
