이 연구는 유산소운동이 1형 당뇨쥐의 체장세포질 GAPDH 및 미토콘드리아 MnSOD 활성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위한 것이다. 실험동물로는 SD계열 흰쥐를 대상으로 strepzotosine을 주입하여 당뇨를 유발시킨 후 수영운동을 8주간 적용시켰다. 실험 종료 후 췌장조직을 적출하여 시료를 분리한 다음 Western Blotting을 실시하여 GAPDH와 MnSOD를 분석하였다. 본 실험결과 췌장세포질 GAPDH의 그룹 간 활성정도는 정상 대조군(CON)과 당뇨군(D.M) 및 당뇨 운동군(D.M-Ex)의 MnSOD 활성 정도는 각 그룹 간 유의한 활성차이를 나타냈다[F(3, 27) = 57.9, P = .000]. 대조군과 비교했을 때 당뇨그룹의 활성은 나타났으며, 당뇨운동그룹 또한 대조군에 비해 낮은 활성을 나타냈다. 반면 당뇨운동그룹은 당뇨그룹과 비교했을 때 상대적으로 높은 활성을 보였다. 췌장의 미토콘드리아 MnSOD 활성 또한 유사한 결과를 보여 이들 또한 각 그룹 간 유의한 활성차이를 나타냈다[F(3, 27) = 572.472, P = .000]. 따라서 본 연구결과를 종합해 볼 때 유산소운동에 의한 GAPDH와 MnSOD 활성증가는 당뇨병 병소와 관련된 다양한 경로의 활성을 억제하고 미토콘드리아 기능회복에 긍정적인 영양을 미쳐 당뇨병 발병의 진행을 막는데 효과적인 것으로 생각된다.

호기적으로 자란 Bacillus cereus KCTC 3674로 부터 조제된 막은 NADH만을 산화하고, deamino-NADH는 거의 산화하지 않았다. 호홉쇄와 연계된 NADH oxidase계는 $K_m$ 값이 약 65 ${\mu}M$이였다. 한편, NADH oxidase계 중 NADH: menadione oxidoreductase의 효소학적 특성이 조사되었다. NADH: menadione oxidoreductase의 최고활성은 0.1 M KCl (또는 NaCl) 존재 하에서 pH 9.5에서 얻어졌다. NADH: menadione oxidoreductase의 활성은 rotenone, capsaicin, $AgN0_3$와 같은 호흡저해제에 매우 저항적이였다. 그러나 매우 흥미롭게도 NADH: menadione oxidoreductase의 활성은 HQNO (2-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline-N-oxide)와 같은 저해제에 의해서는 오히려 촉진되어 졌다.

The cbb3 cytochrome c oxidase has the dual function as a terminal oxidase and oxygen sensor in the photosynthetic bacterium, Rhodobacter sphaeroides. The cbb3 oxidase forms a signal transduction pathway together with the PrrBA two-component system that controls photosynthesis gene expression in response to changes in oxygen tension in the environment. Under aerobic conditions the cbb3 oxidase generates an inhibitory signal, which shifts the equilibrium of PrrB kinase/phosphatase activities towards the phosphatase mode. Photosynthesis genes are thereby turned off under aerobic conditions. The catalytic subunit (CcoN) of the R. sphaeroides cbb3 oxidase contains five histidine residues (H2l4, B233, H303, H320, and H444) that are conserved in all CcoN subunits of the cbb3 oxidase, but not in the catalytic subunits of other members of copper-heme superfamily oxidases. H214A mutation of CcoN affected neither catalytic activity nor sensory (signaling) function of the cbb3 oxidase, whereas H320A mutation led to almost complete loss of both catalytic activity and sensory function of the cbb3 oxidase. H233V and H444A mutations brought about the partial loss of catalytic activity and sensory function of the cbb3 oxidase. Interestingly, the H303A mutant form of the cbb3 oxidase retains the catalytic function as a cytochrome c oxidase as compared to the wild-type oxidase, while it is defective in signaling function as an oxygen sensor. H303 appears to be implicated in either signal sensing or generation of the inhibitory signal to the PrrBA two-component system.

In order to screen microorganisms producing phospholipase D (PLD) [EC 3.1.4.4], culture broths of about 900 strains of soil bacteria were subjected to examine for the PLD activity. When the hydrolytic activity of PLD (H-activity) in the supernatant was determined, 64 strains produced PLD more than 0.3 unit/ml and all of them were actinomycetes. Among 26 culture broths tested, 6 ones had transphosphatidylation activity (T-activity) of 30~68%. When the strains except one were cultivated on 3 different media at 30$\circ$C for 3 days under aerobic condition, strain # 1090 on medium B (yeast extract 1%, peptone 1%, glucose 1.5%, glycerol 1%, CaCO$_{3}$ 0.4%, and pH 7.2) produced PLD with much higher H- and T-activity, which were 8.3 units/ml and 76.3%, respectively. Subsequently, time course of PLD production of the strain # 1090 during cultivation with aeration of 1 v/v/m and agitation of 400 rpm at 30$\circ$C for 5 days on medium B in jar fermentor was investigated. H-activty of PLD reached almost maximum (about 9 units/ml) after 32 hours and maximal T-activity was found to be about 80%.

A marine aerobic Gram-negative bacterium, Pseudoalteromonas carrageenovora, has been blown to hydrolyze carrageenans, the sulfated galactans of red algae, and to desulfate oligo kappa-carrageenans. Recently, the gene encoding arylsulfatase (aryl-sulfate sulfohydrolase, E.C.3.1.6.1) of A. carrageenovora was cloned and the nucleotide sequence was reported. Enzymatic hydrolysis of sulfate groups in agaropectin simplifies the process of agarose preparation. In order to overproduce the enzyme, the arylsulfatase gene (astA, 984 bp ORF) from P. carrageenovora genome was amplified by PCR and subcloned into the pET21a vector. When the constructed plasmid pAST-A1 was introduced into E, coli BL21(DE3), the transformant on LB plate containing IPTG showed the hydrolyzing activity for p-nitrophenyl sulfate. Most of arylsulfatase activity was found in the cell lysate, but at $50\;{\sim}\;5000\;{\mu}M$ IPTG concentration the activity was found both in the culture supernatant and the cell lysate. The molecular weight of the recombinant enzyme was estimated to be 34 kDa by SDS-PAGE.

The obligate aerobic Deinococcus are highly resistant against lethal effect of UV-and ionizing-radiation. Only five mesophilic Deinococcus species, i. e. D. radiodurans, D. radiophilus, D. proteolyticus, D. radiopugnans, and D. grandis are known. Since an indispensable role of catalase has been suggested in protecting cells against oxidative stress and UV radiation, Deinococcal catalase activity of each species and electrophoretic profiles of catalases were investigated on gel. Total catalase activity was varied among the species in the aerobically grown culture at stationary phase. The occurrence of multiple forms of catalases with different molecular weights in four species of Deinococcus and of a single catalase in D. radiopugnans suggests that each species shows the unique catalase profiles on gel. Some Deinococcal catalases also exhibit peroxidase activity. Since Deinococcus spp. are less-distinct to each other in their morphology, biochemical and physiological properties, the catalase profiles on PAGE would be useful in identifying the species of Deinococcus.

A $C_{1}$ enriched cellulase fraction was separated from culture filtrate of anaerobic Clostridium thermocellum by hydroxyapatite column chromatography. The separated fraction showed strong synergistic action with $C_{x}$ component (endo-$\beta$-1, 4-glucanase) in digestion of crystalline cellulose, similar to the other aerobic cellulolytic microorganisms. Unlike the $C_{x}$ component the $C_{1}$ enriched fraction was rapidly inactivated by oxidation at the atmospheric condition. The enzyme activity was significantly enhanced by the addition of reducing agents, especially $\beta$-mercaptoethanol, which indicates that a $C_{1}$ component has a lot of sulfhydryl groups essential for the enzyme activity. The effect of metal ions on $C_{1}$ activity was also investigated. The $C_{1}$ fraction was found to be thermally stable compare to endo-$\beta$-1,4-glucanase. Optimal temperature and pH were found to be 60.deg.C and 6.0, respectively.

Aerobic cells are normally protected from the damage of free radicals by antioxidative on , zymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione (GSH) peroxidase, GSH S- transferase and GSH reductase which scavenge free radicals as well as nonenzymatic antioxidants such as ceruloplasmin, albumin and nonprotein-SH including GSH. The effects of each component (ginsenoside $Rb_1$, $Rb_2$, Rc, Rd, Re, $Rb_1$, Rf, $Rh_1$ and $Rh_2$) of red ginseng on the antioxidative enzyme activities were investigated in the liver in order to screen antioxidative components of red ginseng. Ginsenoside $Rb_1$ and Rc showed a tendency to increase GSH peroxidase activity, while ginsenoside Rc significantly decreased Cu,Zn-SOD activity. Especially, ginsenoside $Rh_2$ significantly increased catalase activity. These results suggest that ginsenoside $Rh_2$ is an important active component among total saponins of red ginseng.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to review the relationship between physical activity and cardiovascular outcomes in the Korean elderly. Methods: Experimental studies were located using PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Cochrane, RISS, KISS, and KoreaMed. The selected studies for analysis were 20 articles of cardiovascular outcomes (total cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), blood pressure, and pulse rate) from 515 articles. Results: One-group pretest-posttest design was the most common. The main physical activity was an aerobic exercise. Five of 14 studies reported a significant improvement of total cholesterol. Four of 14 studies found relationship between exercise and triglyceride. Eight of 12 studies reported a significant improvement of HDL, whereas 3 of 9 studies reported a significant improvement of LDL. In over 60% of selected studies, reported significant improvement of blood pressure. Conclusion: Based on the review, it suggests that regular physical activity of the elderly may improve cardiovascular outcomes.
