  • A xylanase gene, xyn7c, was cloned from Paenibacillus sp. 12-11, an alkalophilic strain isolated from the alkaline wastewater sludge of a paper mill, and expressed in Escherichia coli. The full-length gene consists of 1,296 bp and encodes a mature protein of 400 residues (excluding the putative signal peptide) that belongs to the glycoside hydrolase family 10. The optimal pH of the purified recombinant XYN7C was found to be 8.0, and the enzyme had good pH adaptability at 6.5-8.5 and stability over a broad pH range of 5.0-11.0. XYN7C exhibited maximum activity at $55^{\circ}C$ and was thermostable at $50^{\circ}C$ and below. Using wheat arabinoxylan as the substrate, XYN7C had a high specific activity of 1,886 U/mg, and the apparent $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ values were 1.18 mg/ml and 1,961 ${\mu}mol$/mg/min, respectively. XYN7C also had substrate specificity towards various xylans, and was highly resistant to neutral proteases. The main hydrolysis products of xylans were xylose and xylobiose. These properties make XYN7C a promising candidate to be used in biobleaching, baking, and cotton scouring processes.

  • Because of its elevated cellulolytic activity, the filamentous fungus Trichoderma harzianum has a considerable potential in biomass hydrolysis applications. Trichoderma harzianum cellobiohydrolase I (ThCBHI), an exoglucanase, is an important enzyme in the process of cellulose degradation. Here, we report an easy single-step ion-exchange chromatographic method for purification of ThCBHI and its initial biophysical and biochemical characterization. The ThCBHI produced by induction with microcrystalline cellulose under submerged fermentation was purified on DEAE-Sephadex A-50 media and its identity was confirmed by mass spectrometry. The ThCBHI biochemical characterization showed that the protein has a molecular mass of 66 kDa and pI of 5.23. As confirmed by smallangle X-ray scattering (SAXS), both full-length ThCBHI and its catalytic core domain (CCD) obtained by digestion with papain are monomeric in solution. Secondary structure analysis of ThCBHI by circular dichroism revealed ${\alpha}$- helices and ${\beta}$-strands contents in the 28% and 38% range, respectively. The intrinsic fluorescence emission maximum of 337 nm was accounted for as different degrees of exposure of ThCBHI tryptophan residues to water. Moreover, ThCBHI displayed maximum activity at pH 5.0 and temperature of $50^{\circ}C$ with specific activities against Avicel and p-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-D-cellobioside of 1.25 U/mg and 1.53 U/mg, respectively.

  • The early studies demonstrated that the relative amount of FSH was important for stimulating normal ovarian activity and demonstrated the existence of a threshold level for FSH, above which follicular growth was activated. It was found that only a modest increase in circulating FSH level above the threshold (between 10 and 30%) was required to stimulate folliculogenesis. In addition, FSH is primary responsible for initiating estradiol production through the activation of the aromatase enzyme system in granulosa cells, follicular secretion and growth. LH on the other hand, plays a supportive role in ovarian steroidogenesis, stimulating the ovarian thecal cells to produce androgen, the precursor for estradiol synthesis. But there is now an increasing number of reports in the literature demonstrating an adverse effect of LH on fertility and miscarriage in infertile and fertile women. So HP-FSH is the drug of a highly purified FSH preparation which has a higher specific activity and far fewer impurities than FSH. This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HP-FSH administered (SC; subcutaneous) versus FSH(IM; intramuscular) for ovulation induction. 20 candidates patients for ovulation induction were participated. All patients underwent pituitary desensitizing with a long gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist protocol and ovulation induction was started with HP-FSH SC (10 patients; group I) or FSH IM (10 patients; group II). After ovulation, outcome of ovulation induction and local reaction of injection site were compared. There were no difference of outcome of ovulation in two groups except pregnancy rate/embryo transfer. Group I had a higher pregnancy rate/ embryo transfer than Group II (44.4% Vs 28.6%). Pain, redness, tenderness, bruising and itching when the injection received on the first 5 days of treated (50 SC and 50 IM injections) were assessed. There were no significant difference (P>0.05) in the incidence of tenderness, bruising and itching between the IM and SC injection. But IM injection (FSH) had a tendency of higher above incidence. The number of reports of pain, redness were significantly increased in IM injection group (P<0.05). These results indicate that SC administration of HP-FSH has been shown to be as effect for superovulation as traditional gonadotropins, with an improved safety profile due to the removal of extaneous proteins.

  • L-Lysine 고역가 생산균주를 개발하기 위해 공지의 균주인 C. glutamicum KFCCI0672를 인공 돌연변이시켜 pyrimidine analouge인 6-azauraciI($4\ell$) 내성을 부여한 결과 모균주에 비해 L-Lysine 생산성이 3% 증가된 C. glutamicum CH0516을 획득할 수있었다. L-Lysine 생산성 향상의 원인을 규명하고자 C. glutamicum KFCCI0672 및 CH0516의 aspartoki­r nase(AKase)와 aspartate carbamoyltrasferase ( ATCase)의 aspartate에 대한 $K_m$값을 측정한 결 과 AKase의 $K_m$값은 200.0ruM, 166.7mM이었고 A TCase의 $K_m$값은 0.13ruM, O.27mM이었다. 한편 C. glutamicum KFCC10672와 CH0516의 AKase 비효소활성은 각각 $3.89{\times}1^{-1}$ Iunits/mg, $4.78{\times}10^{-1}$ lunits/mg이었고 A TCase의 경우는 각각 2.20units/mg, 1.84units/mg이었다. C C. glutamicum CH0516이 KFCCl0672에 비해 세포의 성장도가 낮고 L-Lysine 생산성이 높은 이 유로셔는 CH0516의 A TCase의 aspartate에 대한 K Km값이 KFCC10672의 값에 비해 크고 비효소활성 이 낮은 점에셔 찾을 수 있다. 즉 CH0516 A TCase 의 aspartate 사용량이 KFCC10672에 비해 낮기 때문에 여분의 aspartate가 AKase에 의해 L-Ly­s sme이 합성됩으로써 L-Lysine 생산성 증가가 얻어 진 것으로 사료된다. 이러한 사실은 CH0516 A AKase의 Km값이 KFCC10672에 비해 낮고 비효 소활성이 높은 점에셔도 뒷받침된다.

  • Objective: microRNAs (miRNAs) can play a role in a variety of physiological and pathological processes, and their role is achieved by regulating the expression of target genes. Our previous high-throughput sequencing found that ssc-miR-185 plays an important regulatory role in piglet diarrhea, but its specific target genes and functions in intestinal porcine epithelial cell (IPEC-J2) are still unclear. We intended to verify the target relationship between porcine miR-185 and cell division cycle 42 (CDC42) gene in IPEC-J2 and to explore the effect of miR-185 on the proliferation of IPEC-J2 cells. Methods: The TargetScan, miRDB, and miRanda software were used to predict the target genes of porcine miR-185, and CDC42 was selected as a candidate target gene. The CDC42-3' UTR-wild type (WT) and CDC42-3'UTR-mutant type (MUT) segments were successfully cloned into pmirGLO luciferase vector, and the luciferase activity was detected after co-transfection with miR-185 mimics and pmirGLO-CDC42-3'UTR. The expression level of CDC42 was analyzed using quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot. The proliferation of IPEC-J2 was detected using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT), and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assays. Results: Double enzyme digestion and sequencing confirmed that CDC42-3'UTR-WT and CDC42-3'UTR-MUT were successfully cloned into pmirGLO luciferase reporter vector, and the luciferase activity was significantly reduced after co-transfection with miR-185 mimics and CDC42-3'UTR-WT. Further we found that the mRNA and protein expression level of CDC42 were down-regulated after transfection with miR-185 mimics, while the opposite trend was observed after transfection with miR-185 inhibitor (p<0.01). In addition, the CCK-8, MTT, and EdU results demonstrated that miR-185 promotes IPEC-J2 cells proliferation by targeting CDC42. Conclusion: These findings indicate that porcine miR-185 can directly target CDC42 and promote the proliferation of IPEC-J2 cells. However, the detailed regulatory mechanism of miR-185/CDC42 axis in piglets' resistance to diarrhea is yet to be elucidated in further investigation.

  • Background: Exhaled condensates contain inflammatory biomarkers; however, their roles in the clinical field have been under-investigated. Methods: We prospectively enrolled subjects admitted to pulmonology clinics. We collected exhaled breath condensates (EBC) and analysed the levels of six and 12 biomarkers using conventional and multiplex enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. Results: Among the 123 subjects, healthy controls constituted the largest group (81 participants; 65.9%), followed by the preserved ratio impaired spirometry group (21 patients; 17.1%) and the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) group (21 patients; 17.1%). In COPD patients, platelet derived growth factor-AA exhibited strong positive correlations with COPD assessment test (ρ=0.5926, p=0.0423) and COPD-specific version of St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ-C) score (total, ρ=0.6725, p=0.0166; activity, ρ=0.7176, p=0.0086; and impacts, ρ=0.6151, p=0.0333). Granzyme B showed strong positive correlations with SGRQ-C score (symptoms, ρ=0.6078, p=0.0360; and impacts, ρ=0.6007, p=0.0389). Interleukin 6 exhibited a strong positive correlation with SGRQ-C score (activity, ρ=0.4671, p=0.0378). The absolute serum eosinophil and basophil counts showed positive correlations with pro-collagen I alpha 1 (ρ=0.6735, p=0.0164 and ρ=0.6295, p=0.0283, respectively). In healthy subjects, forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity demonstrated significant correlation with CC chemokine ligand 3 (CCL3)/macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha (ρ=0.3897 and p=0.0068). FEV1 exhibited significant correlation with CCL11/eotaxin (ρ=0.4445 and p=0.0017). Conclusion: Inflammatory biomarkers in EBC might be useful to predict quality of life concerning respiratory symptoms and serologic markers. Further studies are needed.

  • 아메바의 cytolytic process가 주로 가수분해 효소 환성과 관계 깊다는 연구들이 70년대 후반부터 병원성 Entamoeba sp.와 Naegleria sp.에서 보고되었지만 Acanthamoeba sp.에서는 가수분해 효소 환성에 관한 연구는 찾아볼 수 없다. 본 연구에서는 병원성이 없는 것으로 알려진 Acanthamoeba royreba를 대조로 하여 병원성이 있는 A. culbertsonl이 가수분해 효소 활성도를 측정하고 이들을 비교하고자 하였다. A. culbertsoni를 마우스에 감염시켰더니 15일내에 마우스 모두가 사망하였으며, 평균 생존기간은 8.5일이었고, 아베바성 수막뇌염으로 사망했음을 알 수 있었다. 반면에 A. royreba를 감염시킨 마우스에서는 수막뇌염이 발생되지 않았다. CGV배지에서 두 종(種) 아메바를 배양하여 아메바 추출물 및 배양액에서 가수분해 효소의 환성을 측정한 결과 A. rcyreba에 비해 A. culbertsoni 세포의 추출물 및 배양액에서 현저히 활성도가 높은 가수분해 효소는 acid phosphatase, p-N-acetyl galactosaminidase, β-N-acetyl glucosaminidase, α-mannosidase, neutral proteinase, acid proteinase였다. 표적 세포인 CHO 세포에 혼합한 A. culbertsoni는 대조군에 비해 강한 세포독성을 나타내었고 CHO 세포와의 혼합후 48시간 후 80%, 72시간후 95% 이상의 CHO 세포가 사멸하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 반면에 A. royreba를 혼합하였을 때는 별다른 세포독성을 나타나지 않았다. CHO 세포에 혼합한 A. tulbgrtsoni이 가수분해 효소 활성도를 경과 시간별로 측정하였던 바 CGV 배지에서 배 양시간이 지남에 따라 아메바내보다 그 배양액에서 더 높은 효소 활성도를 나타내었던 acid phosphatase, β-N·acetyl galactosaminidase, β-N·acetyl glucosaminidase, α-mannosidase, acid proteinase는 혼합 120시간 동안 아메바내에서 더 높은 효소 활성도를 나타내었으며, neutral proteinase의 활성도는 경과시간이 지남에 따라 아메바내에서는 일정하였지만 그 배양액인 EBSS용액내에서는 점점 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 성적으로 보아 마우스에서 수막뇌염을 일으키는 A. cuzbertsoni는 비 병원성인 A. reyreba와 비교할 때 여러 종류 가수분해 효소들의 활성도에 현저한 차이를 나타내고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 표적세포인 CHO세포에 대한 A. cuzbertsoni의 세포독성은 강함을 알 수 있었고, 이 때 몇 종류 가수분해 효소들의 환성도도 높게 나타났으며, 이러한 소견이 A. culbertsoni의 병원성과 관련이 있을 것으로 추측되었다.
