Outer membrane proteins(OMPs) of Brucella abortus 1119-3 strain were extracted by Triton X-100 treatment, and fractionated by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography and Sephacryl S-300 column chromatography. The antigenic proteins in these fractions were identified by Western blot analysis. In Western blot analysis, a single band(38kDa) was observed in the DEAE fractions from 36th fraction to 38th fraction against sera of cattle infected with B abortus. And other fractions have several bands. However, the Sephacryl S-300 fractions exhibited a total of 3 peaks of proteins with a broad range from about 30 to 116kDa. In order to characterize further, the extracted OMPs and the DEAE fractions were analyzed by two dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(2-DE) and Western blot using serum from naturally infected cattle with Brucella spp. The 2-DE immunoblots of DEAE fraction showed immunoreactive spots more than twenty two. The major protein spots have ranging from about 32 to 47kDa. The pI values of the spots were detected from pH 4.7 to 5.4. Among the major protein spots, the 38kDa protein which is a specific antigen, located at the point of approximately a pI 4.8.

Fungal biotechnology has been well established in food and healthcare sector, and now being explored for lignocellulosic biorefinery due to their great potential to produce a wide array of extracellular enzymes for nutrient recycling. Due to global warming, environmental pollution, green house gases emission and depleting fossil fuel, fungal enzymes for lignocellulosic biomass refinery become a major focus for utilizing renewal bioresources. Proteomic technologies tender better biological understanding and exposition of cellular mechanism of cell or microbes under particular physiological condition and are very useful in characterizing fungal secretome. Hence, in addition to traditional colorimetric enzyme assay, mass-spectrometry-based quantification methods for profiling lignocellulolytic enzymes have gained increasing popularity over the past five years. Majority of these methods include two dimensional gel electrophoresis coupled to mass spectrometry, differential stable isotope labeling and label free quantitation. Therefore, in this review, we reviewed more commonly used different proteomic techniques for profiling fungal secretome with a major focus on two dimensional gel electrophoresis, liquid chromatography-based quantitative mass spectrometry for global protein identification and quantification. We also discussed weaknesses and strengths of these methodologies for comprehensive identification and quantification of extracellular proteome.

Adipose tissue is an important endocrine organ involved in the control of whole body energy homeostasis and insulin sensitivity. Considering the increased incidence of obesity and obesity-related disorders, including diabetes, it is important to understand thoroughly the process of adipocyte differentiation and its control. Therefore, we performed a differential proteome mapping strategy using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis combined with peptide mass fingerprinting to identify intracellular proteins that are differentially expressed during adipose conversion of 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes in response to an adipogenic cocktail. In the current study, we identified 46 differentially expressed proteins, 6 of which have not been addressed previously in 3T3-L1 cell differentiation. Notably, we found that phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate synthetase (PRPS), a regulator of cell proliferation, was preferentially expressed in pre-adipocytes than in fully differentiated adipocytes. In conclusion, our results provide valuable information for further understanding of the adipogenic process.

Retinoic acid (RA) evokes pattern duplication in the regenerating salamander limb. Interestingly, it also enhances dedifferentiation in the regenerate by the morphological, histological and biochemical criteria. To examine whether there is any correlation between the RA-evoked pattern duplication and de novo protein synthetic profile in the regenerating salamander limb, especially during dedifferentiation, we analyzed stage-specific protein synthesis pattern in the normal and RA-treated regenerating limbs by metabolic labeling followed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. In the regenerating limbs without RA treatment, a few hundred kinds of proteins were found to be synthesized at the stage of wound healing and the total number of protein synthesized increased greatly as regeneration proceeded. The same trend was also observed in the RA-treated regenerating limbs. Interestingly, some protein spots were noted to be either newly synthesized or highly expressed by the RA treatment especially at the stage of dedifferentiation. The results shows that the enhancement of dedifferentiation state after the RA treatment correlates well with the protein synthesis profile, and suggest that those proteins are important for the RA-evoked pattern duplication in the regenerating limbs of salamander.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a causative pathogen of tuberculosis (TB), still threatens human health worldwide. To find a novel drug to eradicate this pathogen, we tested taurine-5-bromosalicylaldehyde Schiff base (TBSSB) as an innovative anti-mycobacterial drug using Mycobacterium smegmatis as a surrogate model for M. tuberculosis. We investigated the antimicrobial activity of TBSSB against M. smegmatis by plotting growth curves, examined the effect of TBSSB on biofilm formation, observed morphological changes by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, and detected differentially expressed proteins using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis coupled with mass spectrometry. TBSSB inhibited mycobacterial growth and biofilm formation, altered cell ultrastructure and intracellular content, and inhibited cell division. Furthermore, M. smegmatis adapted itself to TBSSB inhibition by regulating the metabolic pathways and enzymatic activities of the identified proteins. NDMA-dependent methanol dehydrogenase, NAD(P)H nitroreductase, and amidohydrolase AmiB1 appear to be pivotal factors to regulate the M. smegmatis survival under TBSSB. Our dataset reinforced the idea that Schiff base-taurine compounds have the potential to be developed as novel anti-mycobacterial drugs.

가열온도를 달리하여 제조한 도토리와 밤 전분 gel의 물리적 특성을 비교한 결과는 아래와 같다. 1. $60^{\circ}C$로 가열한 경우 도토리보다 밤의 전분 입자가 훨씬 많이 풀어져 있었고, 도토리는 9$0^{\circ}C$$90^{\circ}C$로 가열한 gel에서 규칙적인 3차원적 망상구조를 보였으며 밤 전분 gel은 $70^{\circ}C$부터 미세한 다공성의 network를 보여 주었다. 2. X-ray 회절도는 두 시료 전분 gel모두 8~$11^{\circ}C$와 16~$19^{\circ}C$부근에서 두개의 약한 peak만을 보여주었다. 3. 3. Hardness는 70% 압착, 24시간 성형 gel에서, cohesiveness는 60% 압착, 3시간 성형 gel에서 크게 나타났으며, 특히 cohesiveness에서 압착율 변화에 의한 효과가 크게 나타났다. 또한 도토리는 90, $98^{\circ}C$에서, 밤은 $80^{\circ}C$에서 최고의 hardness값을 보였으며 cohesiveness는 두 시료 모두 가열 온도가 높아질수록 증가하였다.

SDS-PAGE를 이용한 일반적인 단백질 분리는 단백질을 분자량에 따라 분리하는 방법이며 가장 보편적이고, 간단한 방법 중의 하나이다. 본 연구는 SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis)를 두 번에 걸쳐 동일한 분리 원리로 이차원으로 전개하는 방법의 전기영동을 시도하여 기존의 일차원 전기영동 분석법과 비교하였으며, 그 결과 향상된 분리능이 본 연구의 이차원 전기영동법에서 확인되었다. Gel에서 분리된 단백질들은 MALDI TOF MS를 이용하여 동정하여 서로 다른 단백질임이 확인되었으며, 이러한 duplex SDS-PAGE 분리법은 상대적으로 적은 비용으로 단백질 분리능을 용이하게 향상시킬 수 있는 경제적인 분석법으로 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

생물학자가 단백질을 검색하고 분석하기 위해서는 2차원 젤 전기영동(2DGE : Two Dimensional Gel Electrophoresis) 실험을 해야 한다. 실험 결과는 2차원 영상이 생성된다. 2차원 영상에서 단백질 반점의 패턴 분석을 위해 2차원 젤 영상에 펼쳐진 단백질 반점들을 영상처리를 통해 분할하고, 대조 그룹의 단백질 패턴과 비교분석을 통해 밝히고자하는 단백질 반점을 찾아내야 한다. 단백질 반점을 분할하는 알고리즘에 있어서 기존에는 가우시안 함수를 적용하였지만, 최근 들어 형태학 분리개념에 의한 Watersheds 영역기반 분할(Watersheds region-based segmentation) 알고리즘을 활용하고 있다. 그러나 Watersheds 영역기반 분할 알고리즘은 크기가 큰 영상에서 원하는 영역을 신속하게 분할한다는 장점이 있지만, 영상 화소의 그레이 값이 연속적인 경우 실제 반점의 개수 에 비해 과다분할(over-segmentation)되거나 과소분할(under-segmentation)의 문제점을 안고 있다. 이는 마커(marker) 포인트의 설정에 의해 어느 정도 해결할 수 있지만 병합(merge)과 분할(split) 과정을 반복해야 한다. 본 논문은 Watersheds 기반 계층적 이진화 기법을 적용하여 마커 드리븐 Watersheds 영상분할의 문제점을 해결하고자 한다.
