  • 본 연구는 Schizosaccharomyces pombe의 단백질2황화물이성질화효소 2 (Pdi2)가 수은 독성에 대한 저항성에 관여하는지를 입증하기 위하여, Pdi2 과잉 발현 재조합 플라즈미드 pYPDI2와 대응되는 벡터플라즈미드인 pRS316을 사용하여 수행되었다. 염화제2수은($25{\mu}M$, $50{\mu}M$, $200{\mu}M$)에 노출되었을 때, pYPDI2 포함 S. pombe 세포는 벡터 포함 대조 세포보다 훨씬 더 잘 성장하였다. pYPDI2 포함 S. pombe 세포는, 6시간 동안 염화제2수은과 같이 배양하였을 때, 벡터 포함 대조 세포보다 낮은 세포 내 활성산소종과 일산화질소 수준을 나타내었다. 반면, 같은 배양 조건에서, pYPDI2 포함 S. pombe 세포는 벡터 포함 대조 세포보다 높은 수준의 총 글루타치온 및 수퍼옥시드 디스뮤타아제을 나타내었다. 그러나, pYPDI2 포함 S. pombe 세포는 벡터 포함 대조 세포와 비슷한 수준의 글루타치온과산화효소 활성을 보여 주었다. 종합하면, S. pombe Pdi2는 총 글루타치온과 수퍼옥시드 디스뮤타아제 활성을 증가시켜, 그에 따라 활성산소종과 일산화질소의 상승을 억제함으로써 수은 독성에 대한 저항성에 관여한다.

  • An engineered cDNA from Phanerochaete chrysosporium encoding both the mature and propeptide-sequence regions of lignin peroxidase H2 (Lip H2) was overexpressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) to evaluate its catalytic characteristics and potential application as a pollution scavenger. All expressed proteins were aggregated in an inactive inclusion body, which might be due to inherent disulfide bonds. Active enzyme was obtained by refolding with glutathione-mediated oxidation in refolding solution containing $Ca^{2+}$, heme, and urea. Propeptide-sequence region was not processed as evidenced by N-terminal sequence analysis. Recombinant Lip H2 (rLip H2) had the same physical properties of the native protein but differed in the $K_{cat}$. Catalytic efficiency ($k_{cat}/K_m$) of rLip H2 was slightly higher than that of the native enzyme. In order to express an active protein, fusion systems with thioredoxin or Dsb A, which have disulfide isomerase activity, were used. The fused proteins expressed by the Dsb A fusion vector were aggregated, whereas half of the thioredoxin fusion proteins were recovered as a soluble form but still catalytically inactive. These results suggest that Lip H2 may not be expressed as an active enzyme in Escherichia coli although the activity can be recovered by in vitro refolding.

  • 조혈촉진 cytokine인 Granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF)는 골수세포를 자극하여 granulocyte로 증식, 분화시키는 기능을 가지며, 현재 아주 고가의 치료제로 사용되고 있다. 인간 G-CSF (hG-CSF)를 아직 시도되지 않은 누에 유래 세포주인 BM5 세포에서 발현시키고 생산 효율을 높이기 위해 hG-CSF cDNA를 변형하였다. hG-CSF의 cDNA의 endoplasmic reticulum (ER) signal sequence 부분을 누에의 소포체에서 분비되는 단백질인 prophenoloxidase (PPAE), protein disulfide isomerase (PDI)와 bombyxin (BX)에서 유래한 누에특이 ER signal sequence로 대체한 hG-CSF의 cDNA 함유 벡터를 구축하였다. 이들 벡터를 사용하여 형질전환한 BM5 세포의 배양액에 분비된 G-CSF 단백질을 western blot으로 분석하여 발현을 확인하였다. 누에특이 ER signal sequence들로 대체된 hG-CSF cDNA를 포함하는 벡터에 의한 hG-CSF 단백질 생산이 인간 G-CSF cDNA가 든 벡터에 의한 hG-CSF의 생산보다 월등히 효율적이었다. 또한, PPAE-signal sequence를 포함하는 hG-CSF 단백질은 배양배지에서 형질전환 4일 후에 최고에 달하였고, 7 일째까지 비슷한 양이 배지 내에서 검출되었다. 이상의 결과는 인간유래 유전자가 곤충세포 내에서 발현 될 때 인간유래 유전자 보다는 곤충 유전자발현 시스템에 맞게 변형했을 경우 더 효율적인 단백질 발현을 얻을 수 있음을 보여 준다.

  • Quality of rice grain changes during dry storage with internal physiological changes and external injury by organism. Storage rice changes by condition with respiration via variable temperature, hydrolysis enzyme reaction, lipid peroxidation occurs with change of palatability. During dry storage, physiological change with protein variation pattern was examined by image analysis on proteomic technology. Analysis revealed that protein activity had no change store at room temperature and store at $40^{\circ}C$, but decreased store at $60^{\circ}C$. Analysis of variable hydrophobic protein pattern revealed that protein activity of beta-tubulin, protein disulfide isomerase, vacuolar ATPase b subunit, globulin was not significantly decreased all dry and store condition. However, heat shock protein 70, and glutathione transferase was significantly decreased when rice dried at $60^{\circ}C$ compared with room temperature and $40^{\circ}C$ dry condition.

  • Formation of toxic protein aggregates is a common feature and mainly contributes to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs), which include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and prion diseases. The transglutaminase 2 (TG2) gene encodes a multifunctional enzyme, displaying four types of activity, such as transamidation, GTPase, protein disulfide isomerase, and protein kinase activities. Many studies demonstrated that the calcium-dependent transamidation activity of TG2 affects the formation of insoluble and toxic amyloid aggregates that mainly consisted of NDD-related proteins. So far, many important and NDD-related substrates of TG2 have been identified, including $amlyoid-{\beta}$, tau, ${\alpha}-synuclein$, mutant huntingtin, and ALS-linked trans-activation response (TAR) DNA-binding protein 43. Recently, the formation of toxic inclusions mediated by several TG2 substrates were efficiently inhibited by TG2 inhibitors. Therefore, the development of highly specific TG2 inhibitors would be an important tool in alleviating the progression of TG2-related brain disorders. In this review, the authors discuss recent advances in TG2 biochemistry, several mechanisms of molecular regulation and pleotropic signaling functions, and the presumed role of TG2 in the progression of many NDDs.
