1. INTRODUCTION : Recognition and binding of organic substrates by biological molecules are of vital importance in biophysics and biophysical chemistry. Most studies of the application focused on the development of biosensors, which detected reaction products generated by the binding between enzymes and substrates. Other types of biosensors in which membrane proteins (e.g., nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, auxin receptor ATPase, maltose bining protein, and glutmate receptor) were utilized as a receptor function were also developed. In the previous study[1], the shifts in membrane potential, caused by the injection of substrates into a permeation cell, were measured using immobilized glucose oxidase membranes. It was suggested that the reaction product was not the origin of the potential shifts, but the changes in the charge density in the membrane due to the binding between the enzyme and the substrates generated the potential shifts. In this study, $\gamma$-globulin was immobilized (entrapped) in a poly($\gamma$-amino acid) network, and the shifts in the membrane potential caused by the injection of some amino acids were investigated.

토끼의 족서부 피하로 Bovine Gamma Globulin과 Ineomplete Freud's Adjuvant를 주입한 후 국소임파절내의 항체생산 세포인 형질세포의 rER을 경시적으로 관찰한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. (1) 항원투여전의 형질세포의 rER 는 일반적으로 편평낭상 (flattened sac) 을 정하고, 항원 투여 후 3 일째에는 일반적으로 소포상 (vesic lar) 를 그리고 7 일내지 10 일째에는 공포상 (vacuolar) 를 정하고 그 강내에는 intracisternal granule 이 다수 출현하며 20 일째에는 다시 확장낭상 내지는 편평낭상을 정하게 된다. 이상의 연구성적으로 보아 편평낭상을 정하는 형질세포의 rER에 항원성 자극을 가하면 처음에는 소포상으로 되었다가 공포상으로 변화하며, 항원 성자극이 소퇴하면 다시 편평낭상으로 복귀된다고 생각된다.

3가지 단백질과 CBG250과의 반응에 의해서 생성되는 복합체(複合體)의 분광학적(分光學的) 성질(性質)과 결합당량(結合當量)을 측정(測定)하였다. CBG250은 사용한 몇 가지 용매(溶媒)에 따라 최대흡광파장(最大吸光波長)$({\lambda}_m)$이 이동(移動)하였으며, ethanol용액 중 $({\lambda}_m=610nm)$에서 흡광계수(吸光係數)는 82.4, 몰 흡광계수(吸光係數)는 $70.4{\times}10^3$이었다. CBG250은 ethanol―인산(燐酸)―수용액(水溶液)에서 갈색$({\lambda}_m=465nm)$을 가지나 일단 단백질과 결합하면 청색(靑色)$({\lambda}_m=590nm)$으로 변환되었으며, 파장(波長) 590nm에서의 흡광도(吸光度)와 단백질 함량(含量) 사이에는 제한된 범위에서 비례관계를 나타냈다. 반응조건에서 단백질과 CBG250은 신속하게 복합체(複合體)를 형성하였다. 단백질의 CBG250에 대한 결합당량(結合當量)은 단백질의 종류(種類)와 함량(含量)에 따라 현저하게 변하였다. BSA, Cytochrome C, ${\gamma}-globulin$의 그것은 각각 110, 103, $88{\mu}g\;$CBG250/100{\mu}g$ protein이었다.

인삼 saponin이 면역작용에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 생쥐에 단백질 항원(암닭의 ${\gamma}$-globulin)으로 면역시킨 후 1차 면역후 10일, 2차 면역후 10일에 각각 채혈하여 혈청내의 항체가를 ELISA(enzyme linked immunosorbent assay) method로 측정하였고, 또한 같은 항원으로 면역시킨 생쥐에 면역억제제를 사용하여 생쥐의 면역제를 억제시킨 후 그 회복에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 같은 방법으로 항체가를 측정하였다. 인삼 saponin을 투여한 실험군(10mg/ kg/day)은 개체에 따라 약간의 차이는 있었으나 같은 조건의 생리식염수 투여군보다 각각 훨씬 높은 항체가를 나타내었고, 면역억제제에 의한 면역억제의 회복에 있어서도 유의성있는 회복효과를 나타내었다. 따라서 면역작용에 미치는 인삼saponin의 영향은 정확한 기작은 밝혀지지 않았으나 인삼 saponin이 혈청단백질 합성을 증가시키는 효과와 함께 일종의 면역자극제(immunostimulator)로 작용하고 있는 것으로 생각된다.

Protein carboxylmethylation methylates the free carboxyl groups in various substrate proteins by protein carboxyl O-methyltransferase (PCMT) and is one of the post-translational modifications. There have been many studies on protein carboxylmethylation. However, the precise functional role in mammalian systems is unclear. In this study, immunoglobulin, a specific form of $\gamma-globulin$, which is a well-known substrate for PCMT, was chosen to investigate the regulatory roles of protein carboxylmethylation in the immune system. It was found that the anti-BSA antibody could be carboxylmethylated via spleen PCMT to a level similar to $\gamma-globulin$. This carboxylmethylation increased the hydrophobicity of the anti-BSA antibody up to 11.4%, and enhanced the antigen-binding activity of this antibody up to 24.6%. In particular, the Fc region showed a higher methyl accepting capacity with 80% of the whole structure level. According to the amino acid sequence alignment, indeed, 7 aspartic acids and 5 glutamic acids, as potential carboxylmethylation sites, were found to be conserved in the Fc portion in the human, mouse and rabbit. The carboxylmethylation of the anti-BSA antibody was reversibly demethylated under a higher pH and long incubation time. Therefore, these results suggest that protein carboxylmethylation may reversibly regulate the antibody-mediated immunological events via the Fc region.

Adverse changes in individual's biochemistry under heavy metal stress are directly linked with its metabolic activity and health status. The present investigation highlights the differences in protecting role of Panax ginseng extract against mercuric chloride induced alterations in serum proteins. The assessment was based on dividing fifty albino rats into two sets, one for acute and the other for sub-acute study. All the sets had five groups with five albino rats in each i.e. control group, mercuric chloride treated group, Panax ginseng extract treated group, mercuric chloride followed by Panax ginseng extract treated group and Panax ginseng extract followed by mercuric chloride treated group. Mercuric chloride was given orally 0.926 mg/kg body weight for acute set and 0.044 mg/kg body weight for sub-acute set after LD50 (9.26 mg/kg body weight) determination by probitt analysis. 10 mg/kg body weight Panax ginseng extract was given in both acute and sub-acute sets after incorporating safety trials. The control group received tween-20 and distilled water only. The result exhibited significantly reduction (P<0.01) in serum protein, albumin and globulin following mercuric chloride intoxication whereas significant (P<0.01) enhancement in other groups with Panax ginseng extract as an ingredient confirming its protective role. All serum samples were also electrophoresed in 10% SDS with standard marker using discontinuous buffering system. Gradual disappearance of alpha-2 and beta-1 globulin bands from electrophoretic pattern was observed, while a single sharp band was observed between beta-2 and gamma globulin in serum protein pattern of acutely mercuric chloride treated rats. However, this band could not be visualized in sub-acute studies. Panax ginseng extract exhibits a better protection after acute intoxication.

In order to investigate the antiotoxic effect of red ginseng extract on serum protein of mouse treated with methyl mercury playing a role as toxic contaminant in ecosystem, variations of the serum protein contents, electrophoretic patterns, and blood components were studied. Mice were divided into 3 groups: Control, group I treated only with methyl mercury, and group II treated together with methyl mercury and red ginseng extract. The total serum protein content of the control group was 5.8g/dl and those of groups I and II were slightly decreased as compared with the control. The control group showed 11 serum protein fractions and groups I and II showed 10 fractions except prealbumin. The amounts of albumin, ${\alpha}_1-$, ${\alpha}_2-$ globulin fractions were decreased and those $\beta$-, $\gamma$-globulin fractions were increased in groups I and II. The amount of each serum protein fraction in group II showed approximately the same level as the control. The hematocrit value and the number of white blood cells of groups I and II were increased, whereas the number of red blood cells showed the decrease as compared with the control.

Polyclonal gammopathy represents the diffuse activation of B cells and is usually related to inflammation or immune-related diseases. However, the mechanisms leading to polyclonal gammopathy are essentially speculative. Generally, infectious, inflammatory, or various other reactive processes may be indicated by the presence of a broad-based peak or band in the gamma region on serum protein electrophoresis results. A 15-year-old girl, who had been receiving peritoneal dialysis, presented with polyclonal gammopathy and massive gross hematuria. Renal artery embolization was performed, after which the continuous bleeding subsided and albumin-globulin dissociation resolved. This is a rare case of polyclonal gammopathy related to renal bleeding.
