본 연구에서는 인뇨에서 분리 정제한 urokinase와 유전자 재조합 CHO(Chinese Hamster Ovary) 세포 배양액으로부터 분리 정제한 pro-urokinase의 물리화학적 특성과 혈액 내에서의 효소활성을 비교 분석하였다. Two chain form인 urokinase와 single chain form인 pro-urokinase를 각각 순수 분리한 후, electrophoresis한 결과 모두 54 kd의 단일밴드를 나타냈다. 그러나 urokinase는 환원시켰을 때 33 kd과 21 kd으로 나누어짐을 확인하였으나 gel filtration결과 분자량이 54 kd 정도임을 확인되어 용액 내에서 단일분자로 존재함을 알 수 있었다. Urokinase와 pro-urokinase가 물리화학적으로 거의 동일한 구조를 가졌다는 사실은 isoelectro focusing에 의한 pI 값이 모두 8.6으로 동일하다는 점과, 아미노산 조성을 분석한 결과 동일하다는 사실로도 알 수 있었다. N-terminal 아미노산 서열을 분석한 결과, urokinase는 이중사슬구조이므로 N-terminal이 두개 존재하여 pro-urokinase의 서열(Ser-Asn-Glu-Leu-His-Gln-Val-Pro-Ser-Asn)이외에도, 159번째의 Ile다음부터 Ile-Gly-Gly-Glu-Phe-Thr-Thr-Ile-Glu가 같은 peak로 나타남을 확인하였다. 효소활성 조사결과 pro-urokinase와 urokinase는 모두 농도 의존적으로 혈전용해 활성을 보였으나, 특이하게도 짧은 반응시간동안에는 urokinase가 동일 농도 하에서 강한 활성을 보인 반면, 2시간이 지난 오랜 반응조건에서는 pro-urokinase가 혈전용해활성을 나타내었다. Fibrinogen에 대한 분해활성을 조사한 결과, urokinase는 혈장 내 fibrinogen을 상당히 손상시키지만, pro-urokinase는 거의 영향을 주지 않아 혈전선택성이 매우 좋음을 알 수 있었다.

고기는 그 품질은 논할 때 tenderness가 주요 항목이 된다. 따라서 외국에서는 일찍부터 meat tenderizer의 개발이 활발하게 이루어져 plant origin proteolytic enzyme이 많이 이용되어 왔다. 우리나라에서는 오랫동안 역우(役牛)로써 사용되어온 소를 도살하여 우육(牛肉)을 공급하는 비율이 크므로 질이 낮은 우육(牛肉)을 이용할 때는 특히 meat tenderizer의 이용이 바람직하다고 생각된다. 이러한 관점에서 보다 효과적이고 가격이 저렴한 meat tenderizer의 제조가 요청되므로 본 연구실에서는 그 제조연구를 위한 조사연구로 시판(市販) meat tenderizer의 연육효과에 대하여 검토하여 보았다. 1. Commercial meat tenderizer의 protein함량은 4.9%(Kjeldahl법(法))로 $E^{1%}_{1cm}\;basis$로 계산하면 $1{\sim}2%$에 지나지 않았다. 2. 기질과 연육소의 비율이 4 : 1, 온도가 $40^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 연육효과를 인정할 수 있었다. 3. 시판(市販) meat tenderizer의 substrate-selectivity는 $casein{\gg}$ water-soluble muscle protein> myofibrillar protein의 순으로 보다 개량된 meat tenderizer의 제조가 요구된다고 생각되었다.

Arabinogalactans have diverse biological properties and can be used as pharmaceutical agents. Most arabinogalactans are composed of β-(1→3)-galactan, so it is particularly important to identify β-1,3-galactanases that can selectively degrade them. In this study, a novel exo-β-1,3-galactanase, named PoGal3, was screened from Penicillium oxalicum sp. 68, and hetero-expressed in P. pastoris GS115 as a soluble protein. PoGal3 belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 43 (GH43) and has a 1,356-bp gene length that encodes 451 amino acids residues. To study the enzymatic properties and substrate selectivity of PoGal3, β-1,3-galactan (AG-P-I) from larch wood arabinogalactan (LWAG) was prepared and characterized by HPLC and NMR. Using AG-P-I as substrate, purified PoGal3 exhibited an optimal pH of 5.0 and temperature of 40℃. We also discovered that Zn²⁺ had the strongest promoting effect on enzyme activity, increasing it by 28.6%. Substrate specificity suggests that PoGal3 functions as an exo-β-1,3-galactanase, with its greatest catalytic activity observed on AG-P-I. Hydrolytic products of AG-P-I are mainly composed of galactose and β-1,6-galactobiose. In addition, PoGal3 can catalyze hydrolysis of LWAG to produce galacto-oligomers. PoGal3 is the first enzyme identified as an exo-β-1,3-galactanase that can be used in building glycan blocks of crucial glycoconjugates to assess their biological functions.

Two piloquinone derivatives isolated from Streptomyces sp. CNQ-027 were tested for the inhibitory activities of two isoforms of monoamine oxidase (MAO), which catalyzes monoamine neurotransmitters. The piloquinone 4,7-dihydroxy-3-methyl-2-(4-methyl-1-oxopentyl)-6H-dibenzo[b,d]pyran-6-one (1) was found to be a highly potent inhibitor of human MAO-B, with an $IC_{50}$ value of $1.21{\mu}M$; in addition, it was found to be highly effective against MAO-A, with an $IC_{50}$ value of $6.47{\mu}M$. Compound 1 was selective, but not extremely so, for MAO-B compared with MAO-A, with a selectivity index value of 5.35. Compound 1,8-dihydroxy-2-methyl-3-(4-methyl-1-oxopentyl)-9,10-phenanthrenedione (2) was moderately effective for the inhibition of MAO-B ($IC_{50}=14.50{\mu}M$) but not for MAO-A ($IC_{50}$ > $80{\mu}M$). There was no time-dependency in inhibition of MAO-A or -B by compound 1, and the MAO-A and -B activities were almost completely recovered in the dilution experiments with an excess amount of compound 1. Compound 1 showed competitive inhibition for MAO-A and -B, with $K_i$ values of 0.573 and $0.248{\mu}M$, respectively. These results suggest that piloquinones from a microbial source could be potent reversible MAO inhibitors and may be useful lead compounds for developing MAO enzyme inhibitors to treat related disorders, such as depression, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease.

Modulation of biotransformation enzymes is one mechanism by which a diet high in fruits and vegetable may influence cancer risk. Inhibition of cytochrome P450s (CYP) and concomitant induction of conjugating enzymes are hypothesized to reduce the impact of carcinogens in humans. Thus, exposure to types and amounts of phytochemicals may influence disease risk. Like other xenobiotics, many classes of phytochemicals are rapodly conjugated with glutathione, glucuronide, and sulfate moieties and excreted in urine and bile. In humans, circulating phytochemical levels very widely among individuals even in response to controlled dietary interventions. Polymorphisms in biotransformation enzymes, such as the glutathione S-transferases (GST), UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT), and sulfotransferases (SULT), may ocntribute to the variability in phytochemical clearance and efficacy; polymorphic enzymes with lower enzyme activity prolong the half-lives of phytochmicals in vivo. Isothiocyanates (ITC) in cruciferous vegetables are catalyzed by the four major human GSTs: however reaction velocities of the enzymes differ greatly. In some observational studies of cancer, polymorphisms in the GSTMI and GSTTI genes that result in complete lack of GSTM1-1 protein, respectively, confer greater protection from cruciferous vegetable in individuals with these genotypes. Similarly, we have shown in a controlled dietary trial that levels of GST-alpha-induced by ITC-are higher in GSTMI-null individuals exposed to cruciferous vegetablse. The selectivity of glucuronosyl conjugation of flavonoids is dependent both on flavonoid structure as well as on the UGI isozyme involved in its conjuagtion. The effects of UGI polymorphisms on flavonoid clearnace have not been examind; but polymorphisms affect glucuronidation of several drugs. Given the strong interest in the chemopreventive effects of flavonoids, systematic evaluation of these polymorphic UGTs and flavonoid pharmacokinetics are warranted. Overall, these studies suggest that for phytochemicals that are metabolized by, and affect activity of, biotransformation enzymes, interactions between genetic polymorphisms in the enzymes and intake of the compounds should be considered in studies of cancer risk. Genetic polymorphisms in biotransformation enzymes may account in prat for individual variation in metabolism of a wide range of phytochemicals and their ultimate impact on health.

β-Glucosidases and β-xylosidases are two categories of enzymes that could cleave out non-reducing, terminal β-D-glucosyl and β-D-xylosyl residues with release of D-glucose and D-xylose, respectively. In this paper, two functional β-glucosidase Dth3 and β-xylosidase Xln-DT from Dictyoglomus thermophilum were heterologously expressed in E.coli BL21 (DE3). Dth3 and Xln-DT were relatively stable at 75℃ and were tolerant or even stimulated by glucose and xylose. Dth3 was highly tolerant to glucose with a K_i value of approximately 3 M. Meanwhile, it was not affected by xylose in high concentration. The activity of Xln-DT was stimulated 2.13-fold by 1 M glucose and 1.29-fold by 0.3 M xylose, respectively. Furthermore, the βglucosidase Dth3 and β-xylosidase Xln-DT showed excellent selectivity to cleave the outer C-6 and C-3 sugar moieties of ASI, which established an effective and green method to produce the more pharmacologically active CAG, an exclusive telomerase activator. We measured temperature, pH and dosage of enzyme using a single-factor experiment in ASI biotransformation. After optimization, the optimal reaction conditions were as follows: 75℃, pH 5.5, 1 U of Dth3 and 0.2 U of Xln-DT, respectively. Under the optimized conditions, 1 g/l ASI was transformed into 0.63 g/l CAG with a corresponding molar conversion of 94.5% within 3 h. This is the first report to use the purified thermostable and sugar-tolerant enzymes from Dictyoglomus thermophilum to hydrolyze ASI synergistically, which provides a specific, environment-friendly and cost-effective way to produce CAG.

Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) developed by Notomi et al. (2000) has made it possible to amplify DNA with high specificity, efficiency and rapidity under isothermal conditions. The ultimate products of LAMP are stem-loop structures with several inverted repeats of the target sequence and cauliflower-like patterns with multiple loops shaped by annealing between every other inverted repeats of the amplified target in the similar strand. Because the amplification process in LAMP is achieved by using four to six distinct primers, it is expected to amplify the target region with high selectivity. However, evaluation of reaction accuracy or quantitative inspection make it necessary to append other procedures to scrutinize the amplified products. Hitherto, various techniques such as turbidity assessment in the reaction vessel, post-reaction agarose gel electrophoresis, use of intercalating fluorescent dyes, real-time turbidimetry, addition of cationic polymers to the reaction mixture, polyacrylamide gel-based microchambers, lateral flow dipsticks, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and nanoparticle-based colorimetric tests have been utilized for this purpose. In this paper, we reviewed the best-known techniques for evaluation of LAMP amplicons and their applications in molecular biology beside their advantages and deficiencies. Regarding the properties of each technique, the development of innovative prompt, cost-effective and precise molecular detection methods for application in the broad field of cancer research may be feasible.
