Geranyllinalool, a polyisoprenoid compound, was found to block the early biosynthetic pathway of sphingolipids in LLC-PKl cells. Sphinganine, an intermediate in sphingolipid biosynthetic pathway, was abruptly accumulated in LLC-PKl cells at $2{\;}{\mu}M$ of fumonisin B1(FB1), a specific inhibitor of sphinganine N-acyltransferase, for 24 hr. Geranyllinalool lowered the $B_1(FB_1)$, a specific inhibitor of sphinganine N-acyltransferase, for 24 hr. Geranyllinalool lowered th FB1 and $50{\;}\mu$M geranyllinalool. l-Cy-closerine, an inhibitor of serine-palmitoyl transferase, was used as a positive control to evaluate the inhibitory effect of geranyllinalool. These results suggest that geranyllinalool may inhibit the serine-palmitoyl transferase, the first enzyme in de novo sphingolipid biosynthesis, resulting in the altered regulation of sphingolipid metabolism.

The optimal conditions and substrate specificity of whole body esterase (EST) activity, effects of inhibitors (Eserine, Paraoxon, p-HMB, DDVP, DFP) on the enzyme, and ontogenv of the isozymes were determined in Lucilio ilfustris Meisen. The optimal temperature was $45^{\circ}C$ regardless of kind of reacted substrate, $\alpha-naphthyl$ acetate $(\alpha-Nal,$ a.naphthvl butylate $(\alpha-N),$ and Pnaphthyl acetate $(\beta-Na),$ but the optimal pH showed some regioselectivitv to naphthvl group of the esters; PH 7.0 for Iform, pH 7.5 for a-form. The maximum reaction rate was recorded at about 2.5 $\times$ 10's M of PNa and etNa, but 1.0 $\times$ 10'S M of $\alpha-Nb.$ Among the five EST inhibitors tested, DDVP was the most powerful. However, distinction of the relative specificity of inhibitors between three body parts, head, thorax, and abdomen, was shouts, representing differences in the distribution and activity of isozvmes. Of 12 carboxyl-esterases (CE), 8 cholinesterases (ChE) and 2 arvlesterases (ArE) identified based on their inhibitor specificity throughout the development, two larval and prepupal stage specific ChEs, no pupal specific, and 2 CEs.2ChEs. and one ArE adult specific isozvmes were confirmed.

토양으로부터 분리한 Streptomyces 속 세균 KIS 13은 thiol 계통 단백질분해효소 활성을 특이적으로 저해하는 저분저량 저해물질을 생성하였다. 저해물질 생성은 세균체성장에 연관된 생성양상이 나타내었다. 배양액으로부토 butanol 추출, silicagel 60 column chromatography, Sephadex LH-2 gel-filtration chromatography, preparative HPLC 등의 과정을 통하여 단백질 분해효소 저해물질을 순수분리하였다. 이 저해물질은 Hammersten casein을 기질로 사용할때, papain에 대하여 non-competitive한 저해양상을 나타내었다.

An ${\alpha}$-glucosidase inhibitor, SKG-3, was isolated from the fruiting bodies of Ganoderma lucidum and its physico-chemical properties were characterized. It was a highly specific and effective reversible inhibitor of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase. It showed very potent inhibitory activity against a-glucosidase with an IC$\sub$50/ value of 4.6$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$, but no activity for any other glycosidases tested. Enzyme activity could be recovered upon dialysis, thus providing evidence for the reversibility of the inhibition. A Lineweaver-Burk plot indicated that the SKG-3 inhibition of ${\alpha}$-glucosidase was competitive.

잉어로부터 분리한 Aeromonas hydrophila는 세포 밖으로 여러 종류의 proteases를 생산한다. A. hydrophila의 배양 상층액을 이용한 inhibitor assay를 통하여, 주된 활성을 나타내는 metallopretease와 약한 활성을 나타내는 serine protease가 있음을 알게 되었다. Gelatin SDS-PAGE를 통하여 두 개의 활성 band가 관찰되었으며, 이 들 중 넓게 퍼진 band는 metalloprotease에 특이하게 작용하는 inhibitor인 EDTA에 의해 활성이 상실되었고 따라서 metalloprotease임을 알 수 있었다. 다른 하나는 serine protease에 특이하게 반응하는 inhibitor인 PMSF에 의해 저해되어 serine protease임을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 두 extracellular protease의 활성은 $75^{\circ}C$에서 30 분간 열을 가한 후에도 Gelatin SDS-PAGE상에 남아있었다. 그런데, 주된 metalloprotease는 Sephadex G-75를 이용한 column chromatography를 거친 후 Gelatin Gel상에서 두 개의 band로 분리되었다.

T cells are attractive targets for the development of immunotherapy to treat cancer due to their biological features, capacity of cytotoxicity, and antigen-specific binding of receptors. Novel strategies that can modulate T cell functions or receptor reactivity provide effective therapies, including checkpoint inhibitor, bispecific antibody, and adoptive transfer of T cells transduced with tumor antigen-specific receptors. T cell-based therapies have presented successful pre-clinical/clinical outcomes despite their common immune-related adverse effects. Ongoing studies will allow us to advance current T cell therapies and develop innovative personalized T cell therapies. This review summarizes immunotherapeutic approaches with a focus on T cells. Anti-cancer T cell therapies are also discussed regarding their biological perspectives, efficacy, toxicity, challenges, and opportunities.

Trypsin inhibitor가 trypsin과 안정한 복합체를 형성하고 동시에 일반 단백질은 trypsin에 의하여 가수분해 되는 원리를 이용하여 trypsin inhibitor를 용이하게 검정 할 수 있는 방법을 고안하였다. trypsin으로 가수분해 시킨 대두추출액을 Sephadex G-50을 이용하여 trypsin-trypsin inhibitor 복합체를 분리시킨 후에 SDS 전기 영동으로 trypsin inhibitor를 복합체를 분리시킨 후에 SDS 전기 영동으로 trypsin inhibitor를 검정할 수 있었다. 이들 trypsin inhibitor는 trypsin에 의한 2차 가수분해에서도 가수분해 되지 않았으며, 또한 2차원 전기영동과 DEAE-Sephades A-25크로마토 그래피를 이용하여 trypsin inhibitor가 trypsin과 복합체를 형성하는 능력을 검정함으로써 본 방법의 유효성을 확인하였다. 본 실험 방법으로 대두(Hill 품종)의 trypsin inhibitor를 검정한 결과 7개의 trypsin inhibitor를 찾아 낼 수 있었다.

The pancreatic and neutrophil elastases are associated with several illnesses including lung and vascular diseases, various cancers, and pancreatitis. The development of a potent and specific inhibitor to the elastases could lead to new therapies. In this study, an agar diffusion method was modified to include a substrate-dye conjugate (Elastin-Congo red) as a substrate of elastase and an indicator of elastase inhibitory activity. The Elastin-Congo red agar plates consisted of 0.1 % Elastin-Congo red and 2.5% agar. The elastase and elastase inhibitors were simultaneously loaded into wells, ultimately resulting in halo formations in which the halo diameter decreased as the concentration of elastase inhibitor increased. The concentration of elastase inhibitor in the samples, therefore, was inversely proportional to the halo diameters. This simplified method provided an excellent correlation with the standard microplate technique, which uses a chromogenic substrate. The concentration of elastase inhibitor obtained from the culture supernatant of a recombinant elastase inhibitor produced by the yeast Pichia pastoris was easily determined. This study has established a simple modified and inexpensive agar diffusion method that is potentially useful for the identification, quantification, and screening of new elastase inhibitors.

We studied whether kinase pathways are involved in TCDD-induced gene expression by treating specific kinase inhibitors ncluding MEK1 inhibitor PD98059, p38 inhibitor SB202190, PI-3 kinase inhibitor Wortmannin or LY294002 or protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor Genestein and then tested the effects of individual inhibitors on TCDD-induced gene expression of cytochromelAl gene (CYPlAl). Our results show that PD98059, MEK-1 inhibitor reduces dioxin-inducible transcription of CYPlAl. p44/p42MAPK, that is phosphorylated by Mek-1, are phosphorlylated by treatment of TCDD, peaking at lnM, 30min treatments. Overexpressions of p44/p42 MAPK dominant negative mutants suppress dioxin dependent transcription of DRE-driven reporter gene in a dose-dependent manner. Our results demonstrate that p44/p42 MAPK is essential for transcriptional activity of AHR/ARNT heterodimer. We found that PD98059 dose-dependently blocks TCDD-induced DRE binding of the AHR/ARNT heterodimer, thereby it reduces TCDD-induced gene expression. Therefore, our results indicate that Mek-1/p44/p42 MAPK pathway is involved in TCDD-induced gene expression, [This study was supported by a grant from Korean Research Foundation Grant (X01529)to H.
