Myo-inositol monophosphate phosphatase is a key enzyme in the phosphoinositide cell-signaling system. Incubation of myo-inositol monophosphate phosphatase from porcine brain with N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) resulted in a time-dependent loss of enzyme activity. The inactivation followed pseudo-first-order kinetics with the second-order rate constant of $3.8{\times}10^3\;M^{-1}min^{-1}$. The time course of the reaction was significantly affected by the substrate myo-inositol-1-phosphate, which afforded complete protection against the loss of catalytic activity. Spectrophotometric studies indicated that about one oxindole group per molecule of enzyme was formed following complete loss of enzymatic activity. It is suggested that the catalytic function of myo-inositol monophosphate phosphatase is modulated by the binding of NBS to a specific tryptophan residue at or near the substrate binding site of the enzyme.

Aspergillus ficuum이 발효조의 배양액에서 phytase를 가장 많이 분비 생산하는 시간은 5일째였다. 이 phytase를 ultrafiltration, cation exchange column, 그리고 anion exchange column으로 최종 정제하여 SDS-PAGE로 분석하여 본 결과 단일 band로 약90,000의 분자량을 가진 것으로 나타났다. 정제된 phytase를 사용하여 phytase에 대한 항체를 생산하였고 titer는 1/25,000로 결정하였다.

Myo-inositol monophosphate phosphatase (IMPP) is a key enzyme in the phosphoinositide cell-signaling system. This study found that incubating the IMPP from a porcine brain with pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP) resulted in a time-dependent enzymatic inactivation. Spectral evidence showed that the inactivation proceeds via the formation of a Schiff's base with the amino groups of the enzyme. After the sodium borohydride reduction of the inactivated enzyme, it was observed that 1.8 mol phosphopyridoxyl residues per mole of the enzyme dimer were incorporated. The substrate, myo-inositol-1-phosphate, protected the enzyme against inactivation by PLP. After tryptic digestion of the enzyme modified with PLP, a radioactive peptide absorbing at 210 nm was isolated by reverse-phase HPLC. Amino acid sequencing of the peptide identified a portion of the PLP-binding site as being the region containing the sequence L-Q-V-S-Q-Q-E-D-I-T-X, where X indicates that phenylthiohydantoin amino acid could not be assigned. However, the result of amino acid composition of the peptide indicated that the missing residue could be designated as a phosphopyridoxyl lysine. This suggests that the catalytic function of IMPP is modulated by the binding of PLP to a specific lysyl residue at or near its substrate-binding site of the protein.

산업용 균주인 Pichia pastoris에서 재조합 발현된 당화된 인간유래 MINPP (multiple inositol polyphosphate phosphatase) 효소는 기질 피틴태인(InsP6)에 대한 파이테이즈 효소활성을 나타내었고 탈당화시 그 효소활성이 30% 감소되었다. 그 효소의 기질 $InsP_6$에 대한 최적 pH 활성은 중성범위인 pH 7.4였다. 기질특이성 측면에서 인간 MINPP 효소는 para-nitrophenylphosphate (pNPP), ATP, ribose-1-phosphate (R-1-P)와 같은 유기인산화합물(organic phosphate conjugates)의 분해활성은 매우 낮은 대신, 기질 $InsP_6$를 효과적으로 분해하였고 특히 화학적 자극제인(chemical stimulator)인 1 mM 2-phosphoglycolate (2-PG)의 첨가에 따른 기질 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG)에 대한 효소활성이 2-PG를 첨가하지 않을때 보다 1.2배 증가되었지만 기질 $InsP_6$에 대한 효소활성에는 영향을 주지 않았다. 또한 2 mM $Mg^{2+}$ 이온과 100 mM $Cl^-$ 이온의 첨가는 MINPP 효소의 기질 2,3-BPG에 대한 효소활성에 역시 영향을 주지 않았다.

Phytases (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate phosphohydrolase; EC 3.1.3.8) are enzymes which catalyze the hydrolisys of phytate into myo-inositol and inorganic phosphates. Phytases are found in plants and a variety of microorganisms. Aspergillus species were treated with 254 nm of UV irradiation for the screening of phytase overproducing mutant strains. At 15 minute irradiation, the survivals of population were less than 5%, and UV irradiation time was decided at 20 minute for the isolation of mutant strains. Four UV mutant strains in A. oryzae (YUV-47, -169, -341, -511) and six in A. ficuum (FUV-17, -36, -69, -193, -317, -419) were isolated on PSM media containing ammonium phosphate. The specific enzyme activities of A. ficuum mutants are 110 to 140% higher than that of wild type.

Inositol polyphosphate multikinase (IPMK) is required for the biosynthesis of inositol phosphates (IPs) through the phosphorylation of multiple IP metabolites such as IP3 and IP4. The biological significance of IPMK's catalytic actions to regulate cellular signaling events such as growth and metabolism has been studied extensively. However, pharmacological reagents that inhibit IPMK have not yet been identified. We employed a structure-based virtual screening of publicly available U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs and chemicals that identified the antidepressant, vilazodone, as an IPMK inhibitor. Docking simulations and pharmacophore analyses showed that vilazodone has a higher affinity for the ATP-binding catalytic region of IPMK than ATP and we validated that vilazodone inhibits IPMK's IP kinase activities in vitro. The incubation of vilazodone with NIH3T3-L1 fibroblasts reduced cellular levels of IP5 and other highly phosphorylated IPs without influencing IP4 levels. We further found decreased Akt phosphorylation in vilazodone-treated HCT116 cancer cells. These data clearly indicate selective cellular actions of vilazodone against IPMK-dependent catalytic steps in IP metabolism and Akt activation. Collectively, our data demonstrate vilazodone as a method to inhibit cellular IPMK, providing a valuable pharmacological agent to study and target the biological and pathological processes governed by IPMK.

Phospoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC)는 세포막의 phosphoinositide를 분해하여 inositol phosphates와 diacylglycerol을 전달하는데 핵심적인 효소이다. PLC는 분자량과 1차구조의 비교에 의하여 type (PLC-$\beta$, ${\gamma}$, $\delta$)로 구분되며, 각 type마다 2-4종의 subtype이 존재하고 PLC isozyme들에 대한 현재가지의 각종 신호 전달 및 조절에 대한 연구를 종합하면: (1) PLC-$\beta$ type은 G-protein과 연결되어 신호를 전달받고, (2) PLC-${\gamma}$ type은growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase에 의하여 인산화 되어 활성화됨으로, 세포의 성장 신호를 전달하며. (3) PLC-$\delta$ type에 대한 신호 전달이나 조절은 밝혀지지 않고 있다.

파리지옥풀 first trap leaf에만 발현하는 유전자군을 탐색하기 위하여 기내배양 식물체와 포충능력을 가진 3년생 실생주을 이용하여 각각의 포충잎 (leaf base), 꽃조직 (flower tissue) 및 포충잎트랩 (first trap leaf)으로부터 분리한 RNA로 Fluorescent differential display (FDD)를 실시하였다. First trap leaf특이발현 유전자 15개를 screening하여 염기서열을 분석하였다. 분리된 DNA들은 protease inhibitor (Pl), myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase 및 lipocalin-type prostaglandin D syn-thase 유전자들과 매우 유사하였다. 또한 Northern blot분석 결과, 이들 유전자들이 first trap leaf에 특이적으로 발현하고 있는 것을 확인하였다 FDD방법은 세포, 조직 및 기관에 특이적으로 발현하고 있는 유전자들을 선발하는데 매우 유용한 수단으로 사용될 수 있다.

Phytase (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate phospho-hydrolase, EC 3.1.3.8) catalyzes the hydrolysis of phytate (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate) to release inorganic phosphate. A bacterial strain producing phytase was isolated from soil around a cattle shed. To identify the strain, cellular fatty acids profiles, the GC contents, a quinine-type analysis, and physiological test using an API 20NE kit were carried out. The strain was identified to be a genus of Pseudomonas sp. and named as Pseudomonas sp. YH40. The optimum culture condition for the maximum productivity of phytase by Pseudomonas sp. YH40 were attained in a culture medium composed of $1.0\%$ (w/v) glycerol, $2.0\%$ (w/v) peptone, and $0.2\%$ (w/v) $FeSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$. Within the optimal medium condition, the production of phytase became highest after 10 h of incubation, and the maximal phytase production by Pseudomonas sp. YH40 was observed at $37^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.0.
