  • Aeromonas hydrophila is a bacterial pathogen that infects a large number of eukaryotes, including humans. The UDP-galactose 4'-epimerase (GalE) catalyzes interconversion of UDP-galactose to UDP-glucose and plays a key role in lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis. This makes it an important virulence determinant, and therefore a potential drug target. Our earlier studies revealed that unlike other GalEs, GalE of A. hydrophila exists as a monomer. This uniqueness necessitated elucidation of its structure and active site. Chemical modification of the 6xHis-rGalE demonstrated the role of histidine residue in catalysis and that it did not constitute the substrate binding pocket. Loss of the 6xHis-rGalE activity and coenzyme fluorescence with thiol modifying reagents established the role of two distinct vicinal thiols in catalysis. Chemical modification studies revealed arginine to be essential for catalysis. Site-directed mutagenesis indicated Tyr149 and Lys153 to be involved in catalysis. Use of glycerol as a cosolvent enhanced the GalE thermostability significantly.

  • Objectives : The purpose of the study is to investigate the protective effect of coenzyme $Q_{10}$ on cytotoxicity effect of dental monomers in odontoblast(MDPC-23). Methods : MDPC-23 was incubated with the(co)monomers triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) with and without addition of coenzyme $Q_{10}$. The cell proliferation and survival was determined using WST-1 assay. The level of reactive oxygen species(ROS) was measured by immunofluorescent staining for DCF-DA. Results : TEGDMA treatment decreased the cell proliferation by dose dependently(0.1, 1, 2.5, 5, 10 mM) on the growth of MDPC-23 cells. Coenzyme $Q_{10}$ showed cell proliferation from 5 to $500{\mu}M$ by WST-1 assay. Pre-treatment coenzyme $Q_{10}$ showed the antioxidant effect on proliferation and viability of MDPC-23 after 48h(p<0.05). The positive cells were observed in non-coenyme $Q_{10}$ treatment group(group 2) in comparison with coenyme $Q_{10}$ pre-treatment group(group 1) by DCF-DA. The fluorescence positive cells showed 14.715(group 1) and 19.788(group 2) using image J system. Conclusions : TEGDMA induced cytotoxicity. The MDPC-23 cell death was associated with the increasing ROS. Coenyme $Q_{10}$ showed the antioxidant effects by decreasing ROS. This effects may contribute to the treatment of periodontal disease induced by TEGDMA after operation.

  • Succinic semialdehyde reductase, one of key enzyme of GABA shunt in CNS, is inactivated by o-phthalaldehyde, The inactivation followed pseudo first-order kinetics, and the second-order rate constant for the inactivation process was 28 M$\^$-1/s$\^$-1/ at pH 7.4 and 25$^{\circ}C$. The absorption spectrum(λ$\_$max/=377nm), fluorescence exitation(λ$\_$max/=340nm) and fluorescence emission spectra (λ$\_$max/=409nm) were consistent with the formation of an isoindole derivative in the catalytic site between a cysteine and a lysine residues about 3${\AA}$ apart. The substrate, succinic semialdehyde, did not protect the enzymatic activity against inactivation, whereas the coenzyme, NADPH, protected against o-phthalaldehyde induced inactivation of the enzyme. About 1 isoindole group per moi of the enzyme was formed following complete loss of the enzymatic activity. These results suggest that the amino acid residues of the enzyme participating in reaction with o-phthalaldehyde more likely residues at or near the coenzyme binding site.

  • The effect of some alcohols on the riboflavin derivatives in non-polar solvent was studied by various spectroscopic method in order to support the view point that alcohol may directly interect with the isoalloxazine moiety of FAD, the coenzyme of D-amino-acid oxidase. The most possible association complex between alcohol and riboflavin is the 1:1 complex through the 2-C carbonyl function of the isollaxazine ring nd the hydroxyl proton of alcohol. It is appeared that methanol has a larger association constant than any other alcohols, and the association constant decreases with the carbon number increases and being bulkier in the alkyl group of alcohols.

  • Succinic semialdehyde reductase was inactivated by o-phthalaldehyde. The inactivation followed pseudo-first order kinetics, and the second-order rate constant for the inactivation process was 28 $M^{-1}s^{-1}$ at pH 7.4 and $25^{\circ}C$. The absorption spectrum ($\lambda_{max}$ 337 nm) and fluorescence excitation ($\lambda_{max}$ 340 nm) and fluorescence emission spectra ($\lambda_{max}$ 409 nm) were consistent with the formation of an isoindole derivative in the catalytic site between a cysteine and a lysine residue approximately about 3 $\AA$ apart. The substrate, succinic semialdehyde, did not protect enzymatic activity against inactivation, whereas the coenzyme NADPH protected against o-phthaladehyde induced inactivation of the enzyme. About 1 isoindole group per mol of the enzyme was formed following complete loss of enzymatic activity. These results suggest that the amino acid residues of the enzyme participating in a reaction with o-phthalaldehyde are cysteinyl and lysyl residues at or near the NADPH binding site.

  • 본 연구는 브로일러에서 비타민 C와 E의 첨가 급여가 성장 능력 및 개체별 스트레스 경감 정도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 하였다. 스트레스 반응 정도는 혈액과 각 조직별 세포들에 대한 텔로미어 함량, DNA 손상율 및 열손상단백질 유전자(HSP, HMGCR) 발현율을 분석하고 고찰하였다. 텔로미어 함량 및 감축율은 양적 형광접합보인법(Q-FISH)으로 분석하였고, DNA 손상율은 comet assay로 분석하였다. 열손상단백질 유전자 발현율은 HSP70, HSP90-${\alpha}$, HSP90-${\beta}$ 및 HMGCR을 표적으로 하여 real-time PCR로 분석하였다. 시험 결과, 급여 처리구 간에 체중, 증체량, 사료 섭취량, 사료 요구율 및 생존율 등 생산 능력의 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 텔로미어 감축율에 있어서는 비타민 E 첨가 급여구가 대조구에 비해 유의하게 낮은 감축율을 보여 스트레스 경감의 효과를 나타내었다. DNA 손상율 또한 모든 비타민 첨가 급여구가 대조구에 비해 유의하게 낮은 양상을 보였다. HMGCR, HSP90-${\alpha}$ 및 HSP90-${\beta}$의 유전자 발현율에 있어서도 비타민 E 첨가 급여구가 대조구에 비해 유의하게 낮은 발현율을 나타내어 스트레스 경감 효과를 나타내었다. 이상의 결과에 따라 브로일러에 사료 내 비타민 E의 첨가 급여(100 mg/kg feed)는 성장 능력의 저하 없이 개체의 생리적 스트레스 정도를 경감시키는 바람직한 항산화 제재로 사료된다.

  • 본 연구에서는 닭의 품종에 따른 개체의 스트레스 반응정도를 알아보고자 한국 재래닭과 단관 백색 레그혼종을 공시하고, 고밀도 사육에 따른 생리적 스트레스 표지 값을 비교 분석하였다. 스트레스 반응 정도는 혈액과 각 조직별 세포들에 대한 텔로미어 함량, DNA 손상율 및 열 스트레스 단백질(HSPs) 유전자의 발현율을 분석하고 비교하였다. 텔로미어 함량 및 감축율은 양적 형광 접합 보인법으로 분석하였고, DNA 손상율은 Comet assay로 분석하였다. 열 스트레스 단백질 유전자 발현율은 HSP70, HSP90-${\alpha}$, HSP90-${\beta}$ 및 HMGCR을 표적으로 하여 real-time PCR로 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 한국 재래닭과 단관 백색 레그혼 간 품종에 따른 체중, 증체량, 텔로미어 감축율 및 DNA 손상율의 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 고밀도 사육과 같은 스트레스 사양 관리는 품종에 상관없이 닭의 성장을 저해하고, 텔로미어 감축 및 DNA 손상을 촉진시키는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, HMGCR을 제외한 HSPs 유전자 발현율의 경우, 밀사 사육에 따른 요인뿐만 아니라, 품종 간에도 유의적 차이를 보였다. HSPs의 분석에 따른 스트레스 정도는 단관 백색 레그혼종이 한국 재래닭에 비해 보다 민감하게 반응하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 품종과 관계없이 닭에 있어 고밀도 사육이 강한 환경적 스트레스 요인임을 시사하고, 품종 간 스트레스의 반응 정도는 레그혼종이 한국 재래닭에 비해 다소 높은 것으로 사료된다.
