Glutamate dehydrogenase from axenic bacterial cultures of a new microorganism, called GWE1, isolated from the interior of a sterilization drying oven, was purified by anion-exchange and molecular-exclusion liquid chromatography. The apparent molecular mass of the native enzyme was 250.5 kDa and was shown to be an hexamer with similar subunits of molecular mass 40.5 kDa. For glutamate oxidation, the enzyme showed an optimal pH and temperature of 8.0 and $70^{\circ}C$, respectively. In contrast to other glutamate dehydrogenases isolated from bacteria, the enzyme isolated in this study can use both $NAD^+$ and $NADP^+$ as electron acceptors, displaying more affinity for $NADP^+$ than for $NAD^+$. No activity was detected with NADH or NADPH, 2-oxoglutarate and ammonia. The enzyme was exceptionally thermostable, maintaining more than 70% of activity after incubating at $100^{\circ}C$ for more than five hours suggesting being one of the most thermoestable enzymes reported in the family of dehydrogenases.

Dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (E3) is a member of the pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductase family. Thr residues are highly conserved. They are at the active site disulfide-bond regions of most E3s and other oxidoreductases,. The crystal structure of Azotobacter vinelandii E3 suggests that the hydroxyl group of Thr that are involved in the FAD binding interact with the adenosine phosphate of FAD. However, several prokaryotic E3s have Val instead of Thr. To investigate the meaning and importance of the Thr conservation in many E3s, the corresponding residue, Thr-44, in human E3 was substituted to Val by site-directed mutagenesis. The mutant’s E3 activity showed about a 2.2-fold decrease. Its UV-visible and fluorescence spectra indicated that the mutant might have a slightly different microenvironment at the FAD-binding region.

We investigated the effects of bean sprouts (Glycine max), dropwort (Oenanthe javanica), and radish (Raphanus sativus var. hortensis for. acanthiformis) extracts on alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH). The extracts from three kinds of vegetables were prepared by extracting with boiling water, distilling water, and ethyl alcohol. Among extracts, boiling water extract showed the highest activating effect on ADH, respectively and distilled water extract had a greater effect on ADH activation than that of alcohol extract. The ADH facilitating effect of bean sprout extract by distilled water was significantly higher than dropwort or radish, hut the effect of the bean sprout extract by ethyl alcohol was lower than others. The facilitating effect on ADH of mixture extracts of bean sprout and dropwort were mixed at 1 : 1 mixture of boiled-water extract showed the highest effectiveness. And bean sprout extract separated below 3000 molecular weight (MW) range of extract fraction had greater ADH activity than large MW parts.

In the present study, overexpression, purification, and characterization of Aeropyrum pernix K1 chaperonin B in E. coli were investigated. The chaperonin $\beta$-subunit gene (ApCpnB, 1,665 bp ORF) from the hyperthermophilic archaeon A. pernix K1 was amplified by PCR and subcloned into vector pET21a. The constructed pET21a-ApCpnB (6.9 kb) was transformed into E. coli BL21 Codonplus (DE3). The transformant cell successfully expressed ApCpnB, and the expression of ApCpnB (61.2 kDa) was identified through analysis of the fractions by SDS-PAGE (14% gel). The recombinant ApCpnB was purified to higher than 94% by using heat-shock treatment at $90^{\circ}C$ for 20 min and fast protein liquid chromatography on a HiTrap Q column step. The purified ApCpnB showed ATPase activity and its activity was dependent on temperature. In the presence of ATP, ApCpnB effectively protected citrate synthase (CS) and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) from thermal aggregation and inactivation at $43^{\circ}$ and $50^{\circ}$, respectively. Specifically, the activity of malate dehydrogenase (MDH) at $85^{\circ}$ was greatly stabilized by the addition of ApCpnB and ATP. Coexpression of pro-carboxypeptidase B (pro-CPB) and ApCpnB in E. coli BL21 Codonplus (DE3) had a marked effect on the yield of pro-CPB as a soluble and active form, speculating that ApCpnB facilitates the correct folding of pro-CPB. These results suggest that ApCpnB has both foldase and holdase activities and can be used as a powerful molecular machinery for the production of recombinant proteins as soluble and active forms in E. coli.

대두(大豆)의 발아기간(發芽期間) 6일간(日間)에 있어서 자엽(子葉) 및 seedling 양조직(兩組織)의 lactic dehydrogenase 활성(活性)이 어떻게 변화하며 그 변화가 어떤 상관성(相關性)을 갖는가를 살펴 다음과 같은 결과(結果)를 얻었다, 1. 자엽(子葉)의 LDH활성(活性)은 발아후(發芽後) 3일까지의 전반기(前半期)에는 계속 증가(增加)하나 그 후반(後半)의 3일간(日間)은 격감(激減)한다. 2. Seedling의 LDH활성(活性) 역시 발아후(發芽後) 3일(日)의 전반기(前半期)에서는 자엽(子葉) LDH의 증가(增加)와 의의(意義)있는 상관하(相關下)에 증가(增加)하나 자엽(子葉)과는 달라서 후반(換半)에서도 그 상승치(上昇値)를 계속 유지(維持)한다. 3. 따라서 대두(大豆) 자엽(子葉)은 발아후(發芽後) 3일(日)이 되면 대사효율(代謝?率)이 현저(顯著)히 감퇴(減退)하나 seedling에서는 계속 대사효율(代謝?率)이 높이 유지(維持)됨을 알았다.

용매분획에 의한 콩나물, 미나리, 무의 추출물들이 Saccharomyces cerevisiae의 ADH의 활성에 미치는 영향을 in vitro에서 조사하였다. 이 추출물들은 알코올로 추출한 것을 용매분획에 의해 수용성 분획물과 유기성인 염기성, 산성, 중성, 페놀성 분획물들을 얻었다. 수용성 분획물들은 유기성 분획물들 보다 ADH 활성을 훨씬 높게 촉진시켰다. 수용성 분획물인 콩나물, 미나리, 무의 촉진율은 각각 125.75%, 104.94%, 87.63%를 나타냈다. 염기성, 산성, 중성의 분획물들에서 염기성 분획물이 약 40%로 가장 높았고 다른 분획물들은 25% 이하로 나타났으며 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 페놀성 분획물들 역시 ADH 활성에 큰 영향을 나타내지 못했다. 따라서, 이 분획물들을 ADH 활성 촉진에 이용할 때는 무기물, 아미노산 등의 상승효과를 얻을 수 있는 수용성 분획물들을 이용해야 할 것으로 사료된다.

발아초기(發芽初期)에 콩(대두(大豆))의 부위별(部位別)로 Lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)의 Isozyme 존재가능성(存在可能性)을 조사(調査)하기 위한 기초적(基礎的)인 연구(硏究)가 수행(遂行)되었다. 발아가 진행(進行)됨에 따라 자엽부위의 효소활성변화(酵素活性變化)에는 큰 유의성이 나타나지 않았으나, 배축이나 뿌리 부위(部位)에서는 감소하는 경향을 보였으며 $4{\sim}7^{\circ}C$에서 배축이나 뿌리로부터 얻은 LDH는 자엽에서 얻은 LDH에 비(比)해 불안정(不安定)했다. 전기영동상의 Rm value가 자엽으로부터 얻은 효소(酵素)에서는 0.25인데 비하여, 배축으로 부터 분리된 LDH는 0.29였다. 배축이나 뿌리로 부터 분리된 LDH는 Biphasic으로 0.45mM과 0.014mM의 두 km값을 보이고 자엽부위에서는 0.45mM 값만 관찰할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과는 자엽부위의 LDH와는 다른 성질(性質)을 가진 LDH가 배축이나 뿌리부위(部位)에 존재(存在)할 가능성(可能性)을 보여주고 있다.

Several strains of spore-forming lacticacid bacteria were isolated from natural sources such as soils, cereals, and foods. The general morphological and physiological characteristics of the strain 6-4 were investigated nad compared with some other industrial strains. The effects of fructose-1,6-diphoshpate (FDP), adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and pH on the lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) activity of the strain were studied, and the changes in LDH activity and spore formation under various cultural conditions were researched. The results were as follows. 1. This strain was identified to Bacillus coagulans Hammer and distributed widely in natural sources. 2. The strain strongly converted various fermentation substrates in to L(+)-lacticacid in anaerobic conditioins, and many spores that were of great advantages to the industrial application were formed easily in the aerobic condition. 3. The LDH activity of this strain was activated by FDP and inhibited by ATP. The optimal pH for the enzyme activity was 6.0-6.5. 4. In the anaerobic culture condifion, the large amount of glucose added in the medium increased the LDH activity, but the cells were not committed to sporulate. 5. When none or a very small amount of glucose (less than 0.5%) was added to culture medium in the aerobic condition, the LDH activity was decreased and many spore were produced with final pH higher than 8.5. 6. The additioin of large amount of glucose (more than 2.0%) in aerobic culture increased the LDH activity and inhibited strongly the spore formation with final pH lower than 6.0.

Mycobacterium sp. strain JCl DSM 3803 grown in methanol showed no methanol dehydrogenase or oxidase activities found in mast methylotrophic bacteria and yeasts, respectively. Even though the methanol-grown cells exhibited a little methanol-dependent oxidation by cytochrome c-dependent methanol dehydrogenase and alcohol dehydrogenase, they were not the key enzymes responsible for the methanol oxidation of the cells, in that the cells contained no c-type cytochrome and the methanol oxidizing activity from the partially purified alcohol dehydrogenase was too low, respectively. In substrate switching experiments, we found that only a catalase-peroxidase among the three types of catalase found in glucose-grown cells was highly expressed, in the methanol-grown cells and that its activity was relatively high during the exponential growth phase in Mycobacterium sp. JCl. Therefore, we propose that catalase-peroxidase is an essential enzyme responsible for the methanol metabolism directly Of indirectly in Mycobacterium sp. JCl.
