본 연구는 막걸리로부터 ${\gamma}$-amino butyric acid (GABA) 생성 유산균을 분리 및 동정하고 최적 GABA 생산조건을 확립하는데 그 목적이 있다. 막걸리로부터 64균주의 유산균은 MRS 배지에서 성장된 집락의 색과 모양의 특성에 따라 분리하였다. 분리균주의 GABA 생산은 1% MSG가 첨가된 MRS 액체배지에서 배양하여 TLC와 HPLC 방법에 의해 평가되었다. B-134 균주는 GABA생성을 위한 우수균주로 선발하였다. 16S rRNA 유전자 및 glutamate decarboxylase B (gadB) 유전자의 염기서열분석을 통하여, B-134 균주는 Lactobacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum B-134 균주로 명명하였다. GABA 생성을 위한 온도, pH, NaCl 및 MSG 농도를 달리하여 최적배양조건을 조사하였다. 그 결과 B-134 균주의 최적배양 조건은 온도 $37^{\circ}C$, pH 5.7, NaCl 농도 0% (w/v), 그리고 MSG 농도 3% (w/v)로 결정되었으며 본 조건에서 48시간 배양시 25 mM의 GABA를 생산하였다. 이러한 결과로부터 B-134 균주는 GABA함유 건강기능식품개발을 위한 유용한 균주로 판단된다.

두 종류의 ADP-riboyltransferase(Yac-1과Yac-2)가 최근 mouse의 임파구로부터 cloning되어 그 특성이 규명되어졌다. Yac-1효소는 ADP-ribosyltransferase활성을 보여주나, 대조적으로, Yac-2는 상당한 양의 NAD glycohydrolase 활성도 소유하고` 있으며 이는 NDA를 우선적으로 가수분해 할 수 있다는 사실을 반영한다. Yac-2는 보존된 두 glutamate에 인접한 위치인 219번에 또 다른 glutamate를 소유하고 있다. 효소 활성에 대한 Glu-219의 효과를 알아보기 위해 두 단계의 재조합 중합효소 연쇄 반응 방법에 의해 Glu-219가 glutamate (E219Q)혹은 alanine(E219A)으로 치환되었다. Gln혹은 Ala으로의 치환결과, ADP-ribosyltransferase활성은 56% (E219Q)혹은 66% *E219A)로 감소하였다. Yac-2단백질의 NAD glycohydrolase 활성은 돌연변이에 의해 영향을 받지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 Yac-2효소의 Glu-219가 ADP-ribosyltransferase 활성에 중요한 역할을 하나, NDA glycohydrolase활성에는 관여하지 않음을 시사한다.

Pathophysiological elevation of intracellular calcium concentration ($[Ca^{2+}]_1$) in the neuron has been considered as an important responsible factor in the neuronal cell damages. However the mechanism of increase of $[Ca^{2+}]_1$ and the relationship between $[Ca^{2+}]_1$ level and cytotocixity have not been fully demonstrated. In the present study, real-time alteration of $[Ca^{2+}]_1$and cellular response (cell damages) in the pheochromocytoma cells (PC12) stimulated by glutamate were investigated. Glutamate dose dependently decreased cell viability determined propidium iodide fluorescence method and morphology change. Conversely related with cell damages, glutamate dose dependently increased the level of［Ca$^{2+}$］$_{i}$ . To investigate the mechanism of glutamate-induced increase of $[Ca^{2+}]_1$,$[Ca^{2+}]_1$, was first measured in the cell cultured in calcium free media and in the presence of dantrolene, an inhibitor of calcium release from ryanodine receptor located in endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Similar to the increase$[Ca^{2+}]_1$ in the calcium-containing media, glutamate dose dependently increased $[Ca^{2+}]_1$ in the cell cultured in free calcium media. However pretreatment (2 hr) with 20~50 $\mu\textrm{M}$ dantrolene substantial lowered glutamate-induced increase of $[Ca^{2+}]_1$, suggesting that release of calcium from ER may be major sourse of increase of $[Ca^{2+}]_1$ in PC12 cells. Dantrolene-induced inhibition of $[Ca^{2+}]_1$ resulted in recovery of cytotoxicity by glutamate. Relevance of N-methy-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, a type of glutamte receptor on glutamate-induced incense of $[Ca^{2+}]_1$,$[Ca^{2+}]_1$ was also determined in the cells pretreated (2 hr) with NMDA receptor antagonist MK-80l. Glutamate-induced increase of $[Ca^{2+}]_1$ was reduced by MK-801 dose dependently. Furthermore, glutamate-induced cytotoxicity was also prevented by MK-80l. These results demonstrate that glutamte increase $[Ca^{2+}]_1$ dose dependently and thereby cause cytotoxicity. The increase of $[Ca^{2+}]_1$ may release from ER, especially through ryanodine receptor and/or through NMDA receptor Alteration of calcium homeostasis through disturbance of ER system and/or calcium influx through NMDA receptor could contribute glutamate-induced cell damages.s.

A novel system has been developed to produce ${\delta}-aminolevulinic$ acid (ALA) using the intact cells of late logarithmic phase of Rhodocyclus gelatinosus KUP-74. The system was shown optimum yield of extracellular ALA under a condition of anaerobic light irradiation (4 Klux) at $30^{\circ}C$ with no variation in cell mass. The rate of extracellular ALA formation was stimulated by low doses of either $C_4\;or\;C_5$ ALA biosynthetic precursors, where 5 mM ($C_4) and 3 mM ($C_5) of each precursors were appeared to generate the maximum rates of 3.3 and 4.0 nmoles of ALA per 0.35 mg cells per hr, respectively. Half-life of the system was 10 hr in a sense of an ability of portage transport of L-glutamate, and sequential dose of this compound was resulted in promising recovery of the ALA.

The CH$_2$Cl$_2$ fraction of the bark of Machilus thunbergii Sieb. et Zucc. (Lauraceae) significantly protected primary cultures of rat cortical cells exposed to the excitotoxic amino acid, L-glutamate. Several lignans including (-)-isoguaiacin, meso- dihydroguaiaretic acid, machilin A, (+)-galbelgin, licarin A, (-)-sesamin, and (+)-guaiacin were isolated from the CH$_2$Cl$_2$ fraction using by bioactivity-guided isolation techniques. Among these lignans, (-)-isoguaiacin, meso-dihydroguaiaretic acid, licarin A and (+)-guaiacin had significant neuroprotective activities against glutamate-induced toxicity in primary cultures of rat cortical cells at concentration ranging from 0.1 ${\mu}$M to 10.0 ${\mu}$M.

Trigeminal spinal sensory nucleus is a main relay site in transmission of orofacial pain. Glutamate and aspartate playa role in transmission of primary afferents. This experiment was performed to study the role of capsaicin, KR-25018 and shogaol on the release of glutamate and aspartate from trigeminal spinal sensory nucleus. Release of excitatory amino acids(EAAs) was induced by electrical stimulation of oral mucosa with innocuous or noxious stimuli. Capsaicin($10{\mu}M$), KR-25018($10{\mu}M$), shogaol($10{\mu}M$), ruthenium red and capsazapine were added to perfusion solution to observe the changes in EAA release, and glutamate and aspartate were determined by HPLC. Release of glutamate and aspartate from trigeminal sensory nucleus was increased by noxious stimulation of oral mucosa, but innocuous stimulation did not affect on the release of EAA Capsaicin and KR-25018 increased the release of glutamate and aspartate, and effect of KR-25018 on release of EAA was more potent than capsaicin. But shogaol had a weak effect on release of EAA. Effect of capsaicin and KR-25018 was partially blocked by capsaicin antagonists, ruthenium red and capsazepine.

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) complex is the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB) in humans and bovine TB in mammalian hosts and grows very slowly. Selenium is a central molecule in nitrogen metabolism and an essential ingredient for all living cells and glutamic acid. The effects of selenium on the growth of M. tuberculosis, a representative slow-growing Mycobacterium species, were investigated and measured using the BacT Alert 3D System (MB/BacT System). Sodium selenate, at a final concentration of $10{\mu}g/mL$, reduced the average time-to detection (TTD) to 197.2 hours (95% confidence interval (CI), 179.6~214.8) from 225.1 hours (95% CI, 218~232.0) in the control culture media (P<0.05). The TTD did not increase with $\text\tiny{L}$-glutamate concentrations up to $10{\mu}g/mL$, but a significant reduction in the TTD was observed in the presence of $20{\mu}g/mL$ ${\text\tiny{L}}$-glutamate in culture media (P<0.05). In conclusion, selenate and ${\text\tiny{L}}$-glutamate enhance the growth of M. tuberculosis.

A γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-producing microorganism was isolated from galchi (hairtail fish, Trichiurus lepturus) jeotgal, a Korean salted and fermented seafood. The G144 isolate produced GABA excessively when incubated in MRS broth containing monosodium glutamate (MSG, 3%, w/v). G144 was identified as Lactobacillus brevis through 16S rRNA and recA gene sequencing. gadB and gadC encoding glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) and glutamate/GABA antiporter, respectively, were cloned and gadB was located downstream of gadC. The operon structure of gadCB was confirmed by reverse transcription (RT)-polymerase chain reaction. gadB was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and recombinant GAD was purified and its size was 54.4 kDa as evidenced by SDS-PAGE results. Maximum GAD activity was observed at pH 5.0 and 40℃ and the activity was dependent on pyridoxal 5'-phophate. The K_m and V_max of GAD were 8.6 mM and 0.01 mM/min, respectively.

발아현미의 대표적 기능성 성분인 GABA의 함량을 증진시키기 위한 적정 전처리 조건을 확립하기 위하여 여러 가지 침지조건을 검토하였다. 현미를 $40^{\circ}C$에서 침지하였을 때 침지시간이 경과함에 따라 GABA 함량이 계속 증가하여 8시간 후 GABA 함량이 3.33mg/100g으로 가장 크게 증가하였으며, 침지용액의 pH를 변화하였을 때 pH 4-7 범위에서는 GABA 함량이 큰 차이를 나타내지 않은 반면 pH 8에서는 GABA 함량이 유의적으로 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 glutamate 용액을 침지용액으로 사용하였을 때 200-300ppm의 농도에서 GABA 함량이 $0.49{\pm}0.48-4.11{\pm}0.47mg/100g$으로 glutamate 무첨가구에 비해 크게 증가한 값을 나타내었다. 현미를 침지후 질소가스로 충진하여 GABA 생성에 대한 혐기처리의 효과를 조사한 결과 $4.70{\pm}0.49-4.92{\pm}0.83mg/100g$의 GABA 함량을 나타내어 혐기처리의 효과가 상당히 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이를 발아시켰을 때 $5.92{\pm}0.72mg/100g$의 GABA 함량을 나타내어 실온에서 물 침지하여 발아시킨 경우의 3.05mg/100g에 비해 약 2배의 높은 GABA 함량을 나타내어 확립된 전처리 조건이 발아현미의 GABA 함량 증진에 상당히 기여함을 확인할 수 있었다.
