추출한 감과실의 세포벽에 polygalacturonase, ${\beta}-galactosidase$ 및 이들의 혼합한 효소액을 in vitro에서 처리하여 세포벽 구성 비섬유성 중성당의 변화를 연구, 검토하였다. 세포벽 구성 비섬유성 중성당의 변화는 효소 처리구에서 무처리 보다 많았으며, polygalacturonase 처리구에서는 rhamnose, xylose, galactose 등이 감소하였고, 혼합효소 처리구에서는 arabinose, galactose, rhamnose, xylose 등이 감소하였으며, ${\beta}-galactosidase$ 처리구에서 arabinose, galactose 등이 감소되었다. Pectin의 비섬유성 중성당은 모든 효소처리구에서 rhamnose, galactose, arabinose가 현저히 감소하였으며, 특히 polygalacturonase 처리시에 보다 현저하게 감소하였다. Hemicellulose I의 경우 polygalacturonase 처리구는 rhamnose, arbinose, xylose의 함량이 무처리구에 비해 높았으며, ${\beta}-galactosidase$ 처리구에서는 rhamnose와 xylose의 함량은 높았고, arbinose, mannose, galactose는 감소하였다. 혼합효소 처리구에서는 xylose, mannose, galactose가 높은 반면 arbinose와 galactose는 낮았다. 한편 hemicellulose II에서 비섬유성 중성당의 변화는 polygalacturonase 처리구에서 xylose와 glucose가 감소하였으나 다른 처리구에서는 뚜렷한 변화가 없었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 polygalacturonase는 pectin을 분해함으로써 arbinose, galactose, rhamnose를 유리하고, ${\beta}-galactosidase$는 galactan과 arabinogalactan을 분해하여 galactose와 arabinose를 유리시키는 것으로 사료된다.

The expression kinetics of human lipocortin I (LCI), a potential anti-inflammatory agent, was studied in the shake-flask and fermenter cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae carrying a galactose-inducible expression system. The cell growth, expression level of LCI, and the plasmid stability were investigted under various galactose induction conditions. The expression of LCI was repressed by the presence of a very small amount of dextrose in the culture medium, but it was induced by galactose after dextrose became completely depleted. The optimal ratio of dextrose to galactose for lipocortin I production was found to be 1.0 (10 g/l dextrose and 10 g/l galactose). With optimal D/G ratio of 1.0 and the addition of galactose prior to dextrose depletion, LCI of about 100~130 mg/l was produced. LCI at a concentration of 174 mg/l was porduced in the fed-batch culture, which was nearly a twice as much of that produced in the batch culture. The plasmid stability was very high in all culture cases, and thus was considered to be not an important parameter in the expression of LCI.

A development of disposable strip-type galactose sensor for point-of-care testing (POCT) was studied, which was constructed using screen-printed carbon electrodes. Galactose levels were determined by the redox reaction of galactose oxidase in the presence of potassium ferricyanide as an electron transfer mediator in a small sample volume (i.e., less than 1 µL). The optimal performance of biosensor was systematically designated by varying applied potential, operating pH, mediator concentration, and amount of enzyme on the electrode. The sensor system was identified as a highly active for the galactose measurement in terms of the sensitivity (slope = 4.76 ± 0.05 nA/µM) with high sensor-to-sensor reproducibility, the linearity (R² = 0.9915 in galactose concentration range from 0 to 400 µM), and response time (t_95% = <17 s). A lower applied potential (i.e., 0.25 V vs. Ag/AgCl) allowed to minimize interference from readily oxidizable metabolites such as ascorbic acid, acetaminophen, uric acid, and acetoacetic acid. The proposed galactose sensor represents a promising system with advantage for use in POCT.

The administration of D-galactose triggers brain aging by poorly understood mechanisms. It is generally recognized that D-galactose induces oxidative stress or affects protein modifications via receptors for advanced glycated end products in a variety of species. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the involvement of astrocytes in D-galactose-induced brain aging in vitro. We found that D-galactose treatment significantly suppressed cell viability and induced cellular senescence. In addition, as of the accumulation of senescent cells, we proposed that the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) can stimulate age-related pathologies and chemoresistance in brain. Consistently, senescent astrocytic CRT cells induced by D-galactose exhibited increases in the levels of IL-6 and IL-8 via NF-κB activation, which are major SASP components and inflammatory cytokines. Conditioned medium prepared from senescent astrocytic CRT cells significantly promoted the viability of brain tumor cells (U373-MG and N2a). Importantly, conditioned medium greatly suppressed the cytotoxicity of U373-MG cells induced by temozolomide, and reduced the protein expression levels of neuron marker neuron-specific class III β-tubulin, but markedly increased the levels of c-Myc in N2a cells. Thus, our findings demonstrated that D-galactose treatment might mimic brain aging, and that D-galactose could contribute to brain inflammation and tumor progression through inducing the accumulation of senescent-secretory astrocytes.

Mistletoe lectin I(ML I)에 대한 간단하고 빠른 용액상 효소결합 분석법을 렉틴의 당 특이성을 이용하여 개발하였다. ML I에 특이성을 가지고 있는 D-galactose를 사용하였으며, 용액상 분석법의 효소로는 malate dehydrogenase(MDH)를 사용하였다. 분석신호물질로 사용되는 MDH-galactose 접합체는 isothiocyanate 방법을 통해 합성하였으며, 이 접합제는 thiourea 결합을 하고 있다. ML I의 존재하에, ML I은 D-galactole와의 특이 인식결합을 통해 MDH-galartose 접합체의 활동도를 억제한다. 그러므로, 존재하는 ML I의 농도는 MDH-galactose 접합제의 촉매활동도의 억제도에 비례하게 된다. 따라서, 본 용액상 효소결합 분석법을 통하여 ${\mu}g/mL$ 수준의 ML I의 측정이 분석 시간 10분 이내에 가능하였다.

This study was carried out to investigate the changes and composition of the non-cellulosic neutral sugars in cell wall of soybean sprouts during growth. The composition of non-cellulosic neutral sugars in cell of soybean sprouts was rhamnose, fucose, xylose, arabinose, mannose, galactose and glucose. The galactose content of cell wall was higher than other non-cellulosic neutral sugars, and was remarkably decreased during growth. The major non-cellulosic sugars of pectic substances were rhamnose, arabinose, and galactose. The arabinose content of pectic substance was increased in cotyledon and hypocotyl during growth. The contents of non-cellulosic neutral sugars were decreased in hypocotyl during growth. The galactose content of pectic substance was higher in cotyledon than those in hypocotyl, and was increased in cotyledon. The content of rhamnose was higher in ionically associated pectic substance than that in covalently bounded pectic substance. The major non-cellulosic neutral sugars of hemicellulose were glucose, rhamnose, arabinose and galactose. The galactose of hemicellulose was decreased remarkably during growth.

A cross-linked leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala) seed gum (CLLSG) matrix was prepared for the isolation of galactose-specific lectins by affinity chromatography. The matrix was evaluated for affinity with a known galactose-specific lectin from the seeds of snake gourd (Trichosanthes anguina). The matrix preparation was simple and inexpensive when compared to commercial galactose-specific matrices (i.e. about 1.5 US$/100 ml of matrix). The current method is also useful for the demonstration of the affinity chromatography technique in laboratories. Since leucaena seeds are abundant and inexpensive, and the matrix preparation is easy, CLLSG appears to be a promising tool for the separation of galactose-specific lectins.

A galactose fermentation bacterium producing lactose from red seaweed, which was known well to compromise the galactose as main reducing sugar, was isolated from button mushroom bed in Buyeo-Gun, Chungchugnamdo province. The lactic acid bacteria MONGB-2 was identified as Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. tolerans by analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence. When the production of lactic acid and acetic acid by L. paracasei MONGB-2 was investigated by HPLC analysis with various carbohydrates, the strain MONGB-2 efficiently convert the glucose and galactose to lactic acid with the yield of 18.86 g/L and 18.23 g/L, respectively and the ratio of lactic acid to total organic acids was 1.0 and 0.91 g/g for both substrates. However, in the case of acetic acid fermentation, other carbohydrates besides galactose and red seaweed hydrolysate could not be totally utilized as carbon sources for acetic acid production by the strain. The lactic acid production from glucose and galactose in the fermentation time courses was gradually enhanced upto 60 h fermentation and the maximal concentration reached to be 16-18 g/L from both substrates after 48 h of fermentation. The initial concentration of glucose and galactose were completely consumed within 36 h of fermentation, of which the growth of cell also was maximum level. In addition, the bioconversion of lactic acid from the red seaweed hydrolysate by L. paracasei MONGB-2 appeared to be about 20% levels of the initial substrates concentration and this results were entirely lower than those of galactose and glucose showed about 60% of conversion. The apparent results showed that L. paracasei MONGB-2 could produce the lactic acid with glucose as well as galactose by the homofermentation through EMP pathway.

Aureobasidium pullulans에 의한 whey배지에서 플루란의 생산에 대한 연구가 수행되었다. Whey배지에서 풀루란의 발효생산에 대한 실험결과, 최종균체농도는 sucrose 기본배지에서와 동일하였으나 풀루란의 생산은 5g/$\ell$로 저조하였다. Whey배지에서 풀루란 생산을 향산시키이 위하여 lactose와 galactose 기본배지에서 적응배양을 시도하였다. 적응배양을 시도하지 않은 경우, lactose를 탄소원으로 한 배지에서 3.4g/$\ell$, galactose를 탄소원으로 한 배지에서 2.5g/$\ell$의 풀루란 생산을 보였으나 적응배양방법을 이용하여 lactose로부터 10~12g/$\ell$, galacrose 기본배지에서 lactose에 적응배양된 균은 13.5g/l의 풀루란을 생산하였고 galactose에 적응배양된 균은 18.6g/l를 생산하였다. Whey배지에 적응배양된 균을 접종한 결과 초기 pH3.0일때 풀루란 생산이 최대값을 보였다.

종자 내에 함유된 mannose와 galactose의 함량비에 따른 팥(Phaseolus angularis)의 생태형적 변이를 조사하기 위하여 한반도 남부의 북위 $32^{\circ}\;18'\sim37^{\circ}\;51'$ 사이에 위치한 17개 지역(양양, 평창, 강화, 포천, 금산, 서천. 진천, 단양, 통영, 산청, 금능, 월성, 완도, 곡성, 옥구, 장수, 북제주)에서 각각 수집된 종자들을 재료로 mannose와 galactose의 함량을 분석하였다. Mannose함량에 있어서는 최저 6.488 mg/g (금산)에서 최고 17.071 mg/g (장수)까지 지역별로 다양한 수치를 보였다. Galactose의 지역별 함량 역시 9.477 mg/g (월성)으로부터 19.877 mg/g (장수)에 이르는 범위 내에서 폭넓게 나타났다. 기후환경에 대한 적응성과 관련하여 종자 경실도(硬實度, seed hardness)를 의미하는 mannose와 galactose의 함량비의 경우, 지역에 따라 0.64~1.22의 값을 나타내었다, 팥의 17개 지역개체군들 가운데 주변 개체군들과 비교해 이질적인 4개 지역개체군(곡성, 양양, 포천, 금산)을 재외한 나머지 13개 지역개체군들은 mannose와 galactose의 함량비와 지리적 기후구분에 대응하여 크게 해안I형(완도, 옥구, 북제주), 내륙형(장수, 월성, 단양, 금능, 평창, 산청) 및 해안II형(강화, 서천, 통영, 진천) 등 3가지 변이유형으로 구분 되었다. 이러한 변이유형의 분화는 생육지별 자연환경조건에 적응적인 일반적 진화 경로에 더하여. 재배식물의 특성상 육종이나 기타 다양한 인위적 도태압에 오랜 기간 노출되어온 때문이라고 생각되며, mannose와 galactose 함량비 자체의 다양성과 함께 식물의 미진화 현상과 관련한 종내 형질분화의 구체적인 증거로서 종생태학적인 측면에서 그 의미가 큰 것으로 판단된다.
