A bacterial strain PN33 producing large amounts of extracellular pectin lyase (PNL, EC 4.2.2.10) was isolated from soil. The isolated bacterium was identified as a strain of Bacillus sp. Production of PNL by the strain was induced only by pectins, with a higher degree of esterification, which had been added to the culture medium as a sole carbon source. The optimal medium for PNL production was determined to consist of 10 g pectin, 2 g yeast extract, 4 g $K_2HPO_4{\cdot}3H_2O$, 0.6 g $MgSO_4$, and 0.11 g $CaCl_2$ per liter (pH 7.0). The PNL activity in the culture supernatant reached the highest level of 132 mU/ml after 32 h cultivation at $37^{\circ}C$ in the optimal medium. The PNL produced was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation (50~80%), and cation exchange and size exclusion chromatographies. The molecular mass of the enzyme was estimated to be approximately 52 kDa by SDS-PAGE. Almost the same mass was determined by nondenaturing PAGE, indicating that the functional enzyme had a monomeric structure. As expected, the PNL exhibited higher activities on the highly esterified pectins whereas it gave no detectable activity on polygalacturonic acid. The enzyme showed the highest activity at the acidic pH of 6.0, exceptional for a bacterial PNL. Maximum activity was measured at $40^{\circ}C$, although the stability f the purified enzyme was poor at this temperature. alcium (1 mM) was found to activate the PNL activity by $50\%$, and also remarkably increased the thermal stability f the enzyme. Phenylmethylsulfonylfluoride (PMSF) and iethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) inhibited the PNL activity lmost completely at the concentration of 5 mM. This result ndicates that some serine and histidine residues of the nzyme may play an essential role for catalytic function of he enzyme.

Strain JV3 was isolated from commercial Swiss cheese products and identified as a bacteriocin producer, which has bactericidal activity against Leuconostoc mesenteroides KCCM 11324. Strain JW3 was identified tentatively as Lactococcus lactis by the API test. The activity of lacticin JW3, named tentatively as the bacteriocin produced by Lactococcus lactis JW3, was detected during the mid-log growth phase, and reached a maximum during the early stationary phase, and decreased after the late stationary phase. Its antimicrobial activity on sensitive indicator cells was completely disappeared by protease IV. The inhibitory activities of lacticin JW3 were detected during treatments of up to $121\'^{circ}C$ for 15 min. Lacticin JW3 was very stable over a pH range of 2.0 to 9.0 The apparent molecular mass of lacticin JW3 was estimated to be in the region of 3-3.5kDa, which was determined by the direct detection of bactericidal activity after SDS-PAGE.

Changes in haemolymph proteins, hydrolases such as esterase(EST), acid phosphatase(ACP) and alkaline phosphatase(ALP) , and inorganic ion(Na+, K+ and Cl- ) contents were induced by the injection of Bacillus thuringiengis into haemocoel of the last instar larva of Heliothis assulta. Protein concentration of haemolymph was increased until 24 hrs after injection, and decreased thereafter. Among the 8 basic protein bands identified through acid - polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(PAGE), 2 bands(bands a and b) became stronger by the bacterial infection. Activities of EST and ALP increased until 12 hrs after injection and then fell down, whereas ACP activity was decreased continuously with time after injection. Contents of inorganic ions were all increased by the bacterial injection, showing slow rate of increase in the chloride ion, but rapid in the sodium and potassium ions.

유용발효미생물에 의한 cordycepin 고함유 동충하초 분말의 생리활성 작용 및 물질을 개발하기 위한 기초 자료를 얻을 목적으로 2 종의 유산균 Lactobacillus hilgardii (Lh), Lactobacillus acidophilus (La)와 1 종의 효모 Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Sc), 1 종의 바실러스 Bacillus subtilis (Bs), 4 종의 곰팡이 Aspergillus oryzae (Ao), Aspergillus kawachii (Ak) 및 Monascus purpureus (Mp), Rhizopus oryzae (Ro)를 본 실험에 사용하였으며, 이들에 의한 발효 cordycepin 고함유 동충하초 분말의 미네랄 함량, 지방산 조성, 단백질 함량, 단백질 패턴, 항산화 활성, 혈전용해 활성을 비교 검토하였다. 발효 cordycepin 고함유 동충하초분말의 주요 미네랄은 미네랄 성분 조성은 K, Mg, Ca, Na, Fe, Zn로 나타났으며, 전체적으로 K, Mg, Ca 순으로 높은 비율을 차지하였고, 주요 지방산 성분으로 palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid 이다. 동충하초 분말과 cordycepin 고함유 동충하초분말 및 발효시킨 cordycepin 고함유 동충하초 분말 단백질을 native-PAGE로 비교분석 한 결과 발효에 의해 균주에 상관없이 특정 부분의 단백질 분해를 확인하였고, SDS-PAGE 상의 단백질 패턴 분석에서는 66 kDa 크기의 단백질 밴드가 유산균 발효에 의해 분해 되어 거의 관찰되지 않았으며, Aspergillus oryzae에서 새로운 단백질 밴드를 확인하였다. Cordycepin 고함유 동충하초 분말을 유용미생물로 발효시킨 결과 Bacillus subtilis 균주 발효에서 혈전용해 활성이 17.1 unit으로 높게 나왔으며, Lactobacillus hilgardii 균주 발효에 의해서는 7.2 unit으로 낮은 혈전용해 활성이 나왔다. 항산화 활성은 발효시킨 cordycepin 고함유 동충하초 분말에서 균주 종류에 관계없이 거의 비슷하게 나왔지만 시판 항산화제 BHT 처리구의 90% 이상의 높은 항산화 활성보다는 낮았다. 이상의 실험결과에서 유용미생물 발효에 의한 cordycepin 고함유 동충하초 분말의 이화학적 특성이 발효 전 cordycepin 고함유 동충하초 분말보다 강화됨으로써 건강식품의 소재로서의 이용 가능성이 높다고 할 수 있다.

A ${\beta}-glycosidase$ enzyme with $\beta$-D-fucosidase, ${\beta}-D-galactosidase$, and $\beta$-D-glucosidase activities has been purified from Thermus caldophilus GK24. The enzyme was monomeric with a molecular mass of 49 kDa, as evidenced by SDS-PAGE. The $K_m$ values for p-nitrophenyl ${\beta}-D-fucopyranoside$ (p-NPFuc), p-nitrophenyl ${\beta}-D-galactopyranoside$ (p-NPGal), and p-nitrophenyl ${\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (p-NPGlu) were 0.23 mM, 6.25 mM, and 0.28 mM, respectively. The enzyme showed optimal pH ranging between 5.5-6.5 and maximum temperature in the range of $85-90^{\circ}C$ for all the above mentioned activities. The half-life of the enzyme in sodium phosphate buffer (pH 6.0) at $80^{\circ}C$ was approximately 7 h. The p-NPGal hydrolyzing activity of Tca ${\beta}-glycosidase$ was strongly activated by L-histidine, while the p-NPFuc and p-NPGlu hydrolyzing activities of Tca ${\beta}-glycosidase$ were not affected at all by the amino acid. These results suggest differences in the conformation or in the reactive residues at the active site of Tca ${\beta}-glycosidase$.

박테리오신은 미생물이 생산하는 단백질성의 항균물질이다. 본 연구에서는 Enterococcus faecium CJNU 2008 균주로부터 생산되는 박테리오신에 대한 일부 특성을 규명하였다. 부분 정제 박테리오신은 열처리($100^{\circ}C$ 30분, $121^{\circ}C$ 15분) 및 유기용매(메탄올, 에탄올, 아세톤, 아세토니트릴, 클로로포름)에 대한 안정성이 우수하였으며 효소처리의 경우 Lipase와 ${\alpha}-amylase$에 대해서는 안정하였으나 Protease 처리에서 활성이 소실되었다. 이는 E. faecium CJNU 2008균주가 생산하는 항균물질이 단백질성의 박테리오신임을 추가적으로 증명하는 것이다. 병원성 세균인 Listeria monocytogenes 균주를 지시균으로 사용했을 때 박테리오신은 살균(bactericidal)의 작용양상을 보였다. Tricine-SDS-PAGE를 이용한 박테리오신의 분자량은 6.5 kDa 이하로 확인되었다. 부분 정제된 박테리오신을 이용하여 HPLC법을 활용한 정제를 수행하였으며 크로마토그램 상에서 단일 피크를 얻었을 수 있었다. 앞으로 정제된 박테리오신은 생화학적 분석 등에 활용할 계획이다.

${Zn}^{2+}$이 엽록체의 광합성계에 미치는 영향을 구명코져 보리 엽록체를 사용하여 전자전달, 광인산화반응의 활성측정 및 전기영동에 의한 CP복합체의 안정성을 조사하였다. ${Zn}^{2+}$은 추출된 분리엽록체 조건에서 뿐아니라, 생육시 반응용액 조건에서도 전자전달, 특히, PS II의 활성을 저해하였으며, 이보다 광인산화활성을 더욱 더 크게 저해하였다. 전자전달능의 저해는 ${Mn}^{2+}$에 의하여 회복될 수 있었으며, 광인산화반응에서 ${Mg}^{2+}$과 ${Zn}^{2+}$는 서로 기능상의 경쟁을 나타냈다. 한편 전기영동에서 CP I은 ${Zn}^{2+}$과 mercaptoethanol이 존재하면 쉽게 파괴됨을 볼 수 있었다.

병아리콩 근류의 호스트부분에서 플라스티드에 존재하는 것으로 추정되는 포스포프룩토오스 키나아제(EC 2.7.1.11; PFK)을 순수분리 정제하고, 정제된 단백질 분자량이 220 kDa인 비당단백질(N-linked)이다. SDS-PAGE와 Western blot의 결과는 정제된 효소가 4개의 55 kDa subunit로 이루어져 있음을 지적하고 있다. 이 효소는 pH 8에서 최적활성으로 날카로운 곡선을 나타내고 있으며, 최적 pH 8과 생리적으로 비슷한 pH 7에서 Fru-6-P 및 nucleoside triphosphate 기질에 Michaelis-Menten kinetics을 나타냈다. MgATP가 뉴크레오 삼인산중에 가장 효율적인 인산기 공여체로서 나타냈다. 포스포엔롤피루베이트는 마이너 형태의 PFK 활성에 가장 강력한 억제자이며, 또한 이 효소는 3-포스포글리세레이트와 2-포스포글리세레이트에 의해 강하게 억제된다. 마이너 형태의 PFK는 KCl, NaCl등 Pi에 의해 약하게 활성이 증진되지만, 높은 농도에서는 억제자로서 작용한다.

This study was performed to confirm the optimal extraction method for antimicrobial peptides from the Hard-shelled mussel. Extractions were performed with two processes including 1% HAc/boiling and 1% HAc/non-boiling methods and used extracts for the comparison of the antimicrobial activity, protease stability, action mechanism, AU-PAGE (acid-urea PAGE), and HPLC chromatograms. 1% HAc/boiling extract showed potent antibacterial activities both against Gram-positive and negative bacterium but 1% HAc/non-boiling extract showed antibacterial activity only against Gram-positive bacteria. Treatment of 1% HAc/boiling extract with proteases retained almost antibacterial activity against B. subtilis, but abolished significant antibacterial activity against E. coli D31. Only 1% HAc/boiling extract showed two discrete clearing antibacterial zones including slow migrating and rapid migrating zones. Both extracts showed strong DNA-binding ability but did not show bacterial membrane permeabilizing ability. In comparison of the chromatogram obtained from C₁₈ or cation-exchange HPLC, the eluted peaks from 1% HAc/boiling extract showed high hydrophobic property or absorbance compared to 1% HAc/non-boiling extract, respectively. The concentration of the purified antimicrobial peptide was also higher in 1% HAc/boiling extract than in 1% HAc/non-boiling extract. Our results suggest that the effective extraction condition for antimicrobial peptides from marine invertebrate is boiling process in a weak acetic acid solution (1%).
