For microbial production of acetaminophen, a popular analgesic-antipyretic from aniline, we screened various fungi and bacteria. And we succeeded to some extents in acetaminophen production by successful protoplast fusion between S. lividans and S. globisporus and also between S. rimosus and S. aureofaciens. However, more fertile results might be brought via performing the cloning of acetanilide p-hydroxylation genes of Streptomyces in yeast. This study was initiated to determine whether the acetanilide p-hydroxylase of Streptomyces is cytochrome P-450 species or non-heme iron protein species. The p-hydroxylationactivity on acetanilide in S. aureofaciens ATCC 10762 was found to be unstable on exposing to the air. However, 100,000xg supernatant of the cell free extracts which were prepared in $N_2$ atmosphere showed the p-hydroxylation activity. Characteristic absorption peak of cytochrome P-450 after reduction with dithionite and addition of CO was not observed in the region of 450nm. Moreover, metyrapone and 2, 6-dichloroindophenol did not affect this enzyme activity, but sodium azide, sodium cyanide, cupric sulfate, cadmium chloride, ${\alpha}$, ${\alpha}'-dipyridyl$, and o-phenanthroline reduced p-hydroxylase activity considerably. S. fradiae NRRL 2702 was shown to have strong p-hydroxylation activity in intact cells. This activity disappeared in its cell free extracts. In its 100,000xg supernatant, however, characteristic absorption peak of cytochrome P-450 after reduction with dithionite and addition of CO was observed at 446nm. Thus, the results herein presented suggest that acetanilide p-hydroxylase of Streptomyces aureofaciens is not related to cytochrome P-450 and may include non-heme iron protein for its activity. However, it is not clear whether acetanilide p-hydroxylase in S. fradiae belongs to the same category of S. aureofaciens.

신생 쥐 간의 subcellular fraction의 특징과 $6{\alpha}$-steroid hydroxylase의 subcellular localization및 특성을 살펴본 결과는 다음과 같다. 1000g 30초 침전 fraction은 총 DNA의 95%를 차지하므로써 crude nuclei fraction으로 나타났으며 또한 5'-nucleotidase의 specific activity가 높은 것은 파괴되지 않은 세포에 기인된 것으로 생각이 되며, 1450g 10분 침전 fraction은 5'-nucleotidase의 activity가 가장 높으므로 crude plasma membrane fraction으로 동정하였으나 mitochondria가 같이 침전되어 있었으며, 9000g 20분 침전 fraction은 succinate-cytochrome C reductase의 activity가 가장 높아 mitochondria fraction으로 하였고, 105,000g 60분 상등액은 LDH가 가장 높아 cytosol로 하였으며, 105,000g 60분 침전은 남은 부분으로 microsome fraction으로 추정하였다. 각 fraction에 기질인 $3{\beta}$-hydroxy-$5{\alpha}$-pregnan-20-one을 incubation시킨 후의 생성된 steroid를 보면 crude nuclei fraction에서는 pregnadiol($5{\alpha}$-pregnane-$3{\alpha}/{\beta}$, $20{\alpha}$-diol)의 형성으로 $20{\alpha}$-reduction과 $3{\alpha}$-$3{\beta}$ iso${\beta}$merization을 볼 수 있었으며 crude plasma membrane fraction에서는 $20{\alpha}$-reduction과 $6{\alpha}$-hydroxylation을 볼 수 있었으며 crude mitochondria와 cytosol에서는 $20{\alpha}$-reduction만을 crude microsome에서는 $16{\alpha}$-hydroxylation을 볼 수 있었으므로 $6{\alpha}$-hydroxylase는 crude plasma membrane에 존재함을 확인하였다. 한편 $6{\alpha}$-steroid hydroxylase에 존재함을 확인하였다. 한편 $6{\alpha}$-steroid hydroxylase의 최대 활성도는 pH 7에서 나타났으며 progesterone은 hydroxylation을 시키지 못한 반면 $3{\alpha}$-hydroxy-$5{\alpha}$-pregnan-20-one은 $6{\alpha}$-hydroxylation이 되었다.

The induction of hepatic cytochromes P450 and metabolic effects have been examined in male and female Sprague-Dawley rats following treatment with either phenobarbital or 3-methylcholanthrene. Hepatic cytochrome P450 levels were higher in males than in females by ~40%. Treatment of male and female rats with phenobarbital or 3-methylcholanthrene resulted in an ~1.6 and 2-fold increase, respectively, in heptic microsomal cytochrome P450 levels in both sexes, relative to untreated animals. Immunoblot analyses were performed to compare sex-related changes in P450 levels. Hepatic P45IIB1 levels in males were greater than those in females following phenobarbital treatment. 3-Methylcholanthrene-induced male hepatic microsomes exhibited greater levels of P450 females failed to exhibit a band. Mab PCN 2-13-1 against P-45-IIIA recognized an intense in uninduced microsomes from female rats. The levels of P450IIIA in males were increased 2 to 3-fold following treatment with phenobarbital, while the increase of IIIA levels in females by phenobarbital was minimal, as monitored by immunoblot analysis. Solid phase radiommunoassay using monoclonal antibodies supported the results of immunoblot analysis. Phenobarbital treatment caused a 6.5-fold increase in the monoclonal iantibody binding to IIBI in males, whereas treatment of females with phenobarbital resulted of IA levels by 3-methylcholanthrene was also greater in females than in males (10-vs. 8-fold) although the levels of induced IA were comparable inboth sexes, as assessed by radiommunoassay. Radioimmunoassay also showed that hepatic IIEI level was 1.5-fold higher in males than in females and that either phenobarbital or 3-methylcholanthrene treatment caused 80% to 40% decrease in IIEL levels, relative to control, in both sexes. Sex-related metabolic activities were examined in hepatic microsomes. Hexobarbital hydroxylase activity was 2-to 3-fold higher in uninduced microsomes from males than that from females. This hydroxylase activity was increased 2-and 3-fold in males and females, respectively, following phenobarbital treatment, as compared to controls. Addition females produced 64% and 84% inhibition of hexobarbital oxidation, respectively. Aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity was increased -12 and 26-fold in males and females respectively. Following phenobarbital treatment, as compared to controls. Addition of anti-P450IIB1 antibody to phenobarbital-induced hepatic microsomes from males and females produced 64% and 84% inhibition of hexobarbital oxidation, respectively. Aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity was increased -12 and 26 fold in males and females, respectively, following 3-methylcholanthrene treatment relative to controls. The anti-P-450IA antibody inhibitable rate of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity was comparable in both sexes following 3-methylcholanthrene treatment relative to controls. The anti-P450LA antibody inhibitable rate of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity was comparable in both sexes following 3-methylcholanthrene treatment (-70%). These results demonstrate that levels of hepatic P450IIB1 or P450IA are greater in male than in female for untreated, phenobarbital-or-3-methylcholanthrene treated rats. In addition, the relative for untreated phenobarbital-or 3-methylcholanthrene treated rats. In addition, the relative increase of phenobarbital-or 3-methylcholanthrene treated rats. In addition, the relative increase of phenobarbital-or 3-methylcholanthrene treated rats. In addition, the relative increase of P450IIB1 or IA phenobarbital or 3-methylcholanthrene is more significant in females.

일반적으로 Streptomyces류는 성장이 늦고 유지가 어려운 반면, E. coli는 배양기간이 짧고 유전자 조작도 간편한 장점이 있기 때문에, E. coli를 이용하여 유용단백질을 생산하는 연구가 일반적인 흐름이다. 그러나 E. coli에서 외래유전자를 도입하여 대량으로 생산을 시키는 경우에 비용해성의 inclusion body를 형성하는 경우가 많으므로 용해성의 활성형 단백질을 생산하기 위하여는 여러 가지 조건을 고려하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 aklavlnone 11-hydroxylase gene(dnrF)을 E. coli BL2l에서 발현시킬 때의 배양조건을 배양온도와 IPTG농도의 두가지 요소를 조합하여 변형시키는 방법으로, 활성형 단백질의 생산을 최대화하고 inclusion body의 형성을 최소화하는 배양조건을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 37$^{\circ}C$에서 배양했을 때에는 0.02mM의 IPTG를 첨가하였을 때 inclusion body를 가장 적게 만들고, 그에 따라 생산되는 효소활성도 가장 높았다. 반면, 28$^{\circ}C$로 배양온도를 낮추었을 때에는 0.06mM의 IPTG를 첨가하였을 때 aklavinone 11-hydroxylase효소가 최대로 생산됨을 SDS-PAGE 및 효소 활성측정으로 확인하였다. IPTG농도를 0.1 mM로 높인 경우에는 28$^{\circ}C$, 37$^{\circ}C$에서 모두 aklavinone 11-hydroxylase효소가 과발현되어 Inclusion body를 가장 많이 생성하였음을 알 수 있었다. 방선균에서 동일 유전자를 대량발현시키는 경우 발현된 단백질의 효소 활성은 있으나 SDS-PAGE상에서의 단백질의 관찰이 불가능하였고, 동시에 단백질의 정제시 효소활성이 소실되어 정제가 불가능하였다. 이러한 효소 활성의 소실의 원인은 세포내의 어떤 저분자물질일 것으로 추정되며 본 연구에서 제작한 antibody를 이용하면, 효소의 정제가 용이하게 수행될 것이다. 특히 대장균계에서의 활성형 효소의 최적발현조건에서 세포를 배양하거나, inclusion body의 refolding을 실시한 후, 항체를 이용한 Western blot assay를 지표로 효소를 정제하면, 미지의 cofactor의 정체도 밝혀지고 aklavinone 11-hydroxylase류의 효소 특성 연구에 큰 도움이 될 것이다. 또한 이 효소를 이용한 다양한 종류의 bioconversion을 실시하여 그동안 background 때문에 생성된 product의 검출이 불가능했었던 소량의 생성산물의 분석도 가능할 것으로 판단되어 금후의 bioconversion연구에 기대하는 바가 크다.

Bentazon이 첫 분해대사물질인 6-hydroxy bentazon으로 변화하는데 관련하는 cytochrome P-450 활성을 증진시키는 방법을 모색하기 위하여 벼 microsome에서 hydroxylase 효소 유기물질을 처리하여 bentazon 6-hydroxylase(B6H)와 식물에서 흔히 볼 수 있는 cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase(CA4H) 효소를 대조하여 효소활성을 검정하였다. 1,8-naphthalic anhydride 0.5-2% 농도를 벼 종자에 분의처리하거나 fenclorim 5, 10${\mu}M$을 벼종자에 침지처리함에 따라 B6H와 CA4H 효소 활성이 증대되었다. Ethanol 2.5%를 벼 유묘에 처리함으로써 B6H와 CA4H 활성이 증대되었으며, phenobarbital 12mM 처리에서 B6H 활성이 증대되었고 phenobarbital 2mM 처리에서는 CA4H 활성이 증대되었다. B6H 효소활성은 ethanol 2.5, 5%와 phenobarbital 8, 12mM 혼합 처리 또는 1,8-naphthalic anhydride 0.5, 1%와 phenobarbital 8, 12mM 혼합처리에서 상승적으로 증가하였으며, CA4H 효소는 혼합처리에 의하여 활성이 저하되었다. 한편 벼 5 일묘에서는 B6H와 CA4H 활성 이 가장 높았으며 묘령이 진전될수록 효소활성은 현저히 감소되는 경향을 나타냈다.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of electrical stimulation on the change Tyrosine-Hydroxylase immunoreactive(TH-IR) cells in the Central gray and retrorubral field of the male SD rats. 9 healthy and normal rats were divided into three groups, 3 SD rat in each group. The one group has been stimulated by electroacupuncture(EA, 2Hz) for 30min and the other group by EA for 1hr 30min and control group has been stimulated. TH-IR cells were found in the Central gray(CG) and Retrorubral field(RF). The numbers of TH-IR cells of CG and RF were significantly increased after 30 min (CG $6.2{\pm}0.83$, RF $1.4{\pm}0.55$)as compared with control group(CG $24{\pm}3.16$, RF $6.4{\pm}0.55$) and were also significantly increased after 1hr 30min(CG $75.6{\pm}4.51$, RF $18.8{\pm}0.89$) than 30min. These results show that TH is related into CG and RF in response to electrical stimulation.

In order to explore structural features of minoxidil analogs with a view of enhancing lysyl hydroxylase (LH) inhibitory activity, molecular holographic QSAR (HQSAR) and CoMSIA (comparative molecular similarity indices analysis) were performed. The results from the atomic contributions with optimized the HQSAR 6-2 model indicated that, in case of pyrimidine-1-N-oxide substituent, C2 atom of pyrimidine ring and C'3-C'4 bond of 4-piperidinol group showed the highest impact on the inhibitory activity towards LH enzyme. It was also evident from the information of the optimized CoMSIA F5 model that the inhibitory activity mainly depended on the hydrophobic field contribution (36%) and the hydrogen bond (H-bond) field contribution (49.2%) of substrate molecule. Particularly, it is predicted that the functional groups which disfavor H-bond acceptors in large space around the piperidinol group and also the functional groups which favor the H-bond acceptors at C'4 (& C'5) atom in $R_5$ group play a role for increased inhibitory activity. With this in mind, it is likely that a novel candidate having more improved inhibitory activity on hair growth could be designed in the future.

To evaluate the effect of cyclohexane(CH) treatment on the liver cytochrome P-450 dependent aniline hydroxylase(CYPdAH) activity in alcohol-pretreated animals, CH(1.56 g/kg body weight) was intraperitoneally administered to Sprague-Dawley male rats, which had been drunk 15％ alcohol in distilled water for 1,3 and 6 weeks. CH was injected to rats 4 times every other day and the animals were sacrificed at 24 hours after injection of CH. In the alcohol-pretreated rats, liver injuries were not demonstrated on the basis of the liver weight per body weight, the levels of serum alanine aminotransferase and hepatic microsomal glucose-6-phosphatase activities. By the CH treatment, alcohol-pretreated animals showed the significantly increased activity of hepatic microsomal CYPdAH. Concomitantly $V_{max}$ value in CYPdAH was more increased, whereas $K_{M}$ value more decreased in alcohol-pretreated animals by the treatment of CH. In conclusion, the increasing cause of microsomal CYPdAH in CH-treated rats pretreated with alcohol may be due to induction of enzyme protein in rat liver.r.r.
