An aldolase gene has been cloned from Methanococcus jannaschii. The coding region of the gene has been expressed in E. coli using a pET system to a level of 30% of total cellular proteins. The protein was purified to more than 95 % homogeneity by heat treatment and ion exchange chromatography. The protein performed an aldol condensation reaction with glyceraldehyde as substrate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate as a carboxyl donor. The protein was determined to be a type II aldolase which requires the $Zn^{2+}$ ion as a metal cofactor. This enzyme has a broad range of optimum pH (7-9) and temperature ($50-80^{\circ}C$). It shows strong stability against heat, chemical denaturants, as well as a high percentage' of organic solvents. The half-life of this enzyme at $85^{\circ}C$ is more than 24 h and it maintains more than 90% of aldolase activity in the presence of 6 M urea, 50% acetonitrile, or 15% isopropyl alcohol.

Determination of Aconitum alkaloids in processed Buza (Cho-0, Salted Buza, Moist-heating Buza, Limed Buza), which had been prepared from the raw tubers of Aconitum chiisanenseb(Ranunculaceae), was established using visible spectrophotometry and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method especially for Aconitine analysis. Aconitum alkloids were reacted with tetra- thiocy-anatocobalt[II] complex ion to form a stable ion pair. The reaction product was insoluble in water but freely soluble in several organic solvents. 1.2-Dichloroethane was the best extracting solvent among the examined solvents. Spectrophotometry of Aconitum alkaloids at nax. 625 was carried out. The HPLC method for aconitine was carried out using Radial PAK-CN column with gradient solvent system by solvent mixture of acetonitrile and phosphate buffer (pH 3.0) at 4$0^{\circ}C$ and 254 nm. Linear relationship was found between absorbance response and concentration of aconitine in range of 0.45 mM~0.9 mM ($r^2$=0.9949) by spectrophotometry and 0.3 mM~1.2mM($r^2$=0.9983) by HPLC method. These methods have been found to be suitable and reproducible for routine analysis of Aconitum alkaloids and its pharmaceutical preparations.

Although offline enrichment of phosphorylated peptides is widely used, enrichment for phosphopeptides using $TiO_2$ is often performed manually, which is labor-intensive and can lead to irreproducible results. To address the problems associated with offline enrichment and to improve the effectiveness of phosphopeptide detection, we developed an automated online enrichment system for phosphopeptide analysis. A standard protein mixture comprising BSA, fetuin, crystalline, ${\alpha}$-casein and ${\beta}$-casein, and ovalbumin was assessed using our new system. Our multidimensional system has four main parts: a sample pump, a 20-mm $TiO_2$-based column, a weak anion-exchange, and a strong cation-exchange (2:1 WAX:SCX) separation column with LC/MS. Phosphorylated peptides were successfully detected using the $TiO_2$-based online system with little interference from nonphosphorylated peptides. Our results confirmed that our online enrichment system is a simple and efficient method for detecting phosphorylated peptides.

본 실험에서는 한우초유를 33% ammonium sulfate 포화용액으로 처리하여 조면역글로블린을 얻은 후 gel filtration, ion-exchange chromatography를 이용하여 조면역글로블린의 분리 정도를 조사하고 affinity chromatography column을 이용하여 조면역글로블린으로 부터 Ig G의 결합정도를 알아보고 Protein G Sepharose fast flow system을 이용하여 신속하게 대량으로 Ig G의 분리를 꾀하여 얻어진 Ig G를 이용하여 ELISA방법으로 항체 생성유무를 측정하였으며, 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. HPLC상에서 Superose 12 column을 이 용하여 한우초유의 조면역글로블린을 분리한 결과 Holstein초유의 조면역글로블린과 유사한 분리정도를 나타냈지만 약 84%의 Ig G를 한우초유의 조면역글로블린으로 부터 분리할 수 있었다. 2. Mono Q를 이용하여 HPLC에서 한우초유의 조면역글로블린을 gel filtration방법보다 짧은 시간에 분리할 수 있었지만 그다지 분리 정도가 좋지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 3. Hi-trap protein G column이 protein A sepharose CL-4B column보다 더 많은 양의 Ig G를 한우초유의 조면역글로블린으로 부터 얻을 수가 있었다. 4. Protein G Sepharose fast flow system을 이용하여 20mg의 sample양을 주입하여도 충분히 Ig G를 분리할 수 있었으며, ml 당 약 1.25mg의 Ig G를 얻을 수가 있었다. 5. ELISA방법을 이용하여 한우초유의 Ig G에 대한 항체 생성 유무를 측정한 결과, 면역화된 토끼에서 정상 토끼의 혈청에서보다 titer가 높게 나타났으므로 항체생성이 확인되었다.

This article provides comprehensive guidance on the maintenance, cleaning, regeneration, and storage of silica-based HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) columns. The general considerations emphasize the importance of using in-line filters and guard cartridges to protect columns from blockage and irreversible sample adsorption. While these measures help, contamination by strongly adsorbed sample components can still occur over time, leading to an increase in back pressure, loss of efficiency, and other issues. To maximize column lifetime, especially with UHPLC (Ultra-High Performance Liquid Chromatography) columns, it is advisable to use ultra-pure solvents, freshly prepared aqueous mobile phases, and to filter all samples, standards, and mobile phases. Additionally, an in-line filter system and sample clean-up on dirty samples are recommended. However, in cases of irreversible compound adsorption or column voiding, regeneration may not be possible. The document also provides specific recommendations for column cleaning procedures, including the flushing procedures for various types of columns such as reversed phase, unbonded silica, bonded normal phase, anion exchange, cation exchange, and size exclusion columns for proteins. The flushing procedures involve using specific solvents in a series to clean and regenerate the columns. It is emphasized that the flow rate during flushing should not exceed the specified limit for the particular column, and the last solvent used should be compatible with the mobile phase. Furthermore, the article outlines the storage conditions for silica based HPLC columns, highlighting the impact of storage conditions on the column's lifetime. It is recommended to flush all buffers, salts, and ion-pairing reagents from the column before storage. The storage solvent should ideally match the one used in the initial column test chromatogram provided by the manufacturer, and column end plugs should be fitted to prevent solvent evaporation and drying out of the packing bed.

Mammaglobin은 uteroglobin 유전자와 상동성을 가지는 분비 단백질로 인체 유방암 조직에서 과발현된다. 이 단백질은 유방암의 진단, 전이 정도의 진단, 또는 수술 및 항암치료 후 재발 정도의 검색을 위한 하나의 표식자로 가능성을 갖는다. 본 연구는 mammaglobin 유전자를 클로닝하여, 대장균으로부터 발현하고, 발현된 mammaglobin 단백질을 분리하고, 분리된 단백질을 이용하여 항체를 생산하고, 분리된 항체가 mammaglobin에 대한 특이 반응을 갖는지를 확인하였다. 유방암 환자의 조직을 얻은 후 이 조직에서 RNA를 분리한다. 이 RNA로부터 RT-PCR법으로 mammaglobin 유전자를 클로닝하였다. 증폭된 유전자를 NcoI 과 XhoI으로 절단한 후 벡터에 끼워 넣은 후 대장균에 형질 전환시키고 DNA 염기 서열을 결정하였고, 기존의 mammaglobin 유전자의 염기서열과 비교한 결과 동일한 유전자임을 확인하였다. Mammaglobin의 세포 내 발현, 신호 펩타이드를 이용한 분비발현을 위해 pET30, pET20, pET32 벡터를 각각 이용하였다. 3개의 발현시스템으로부터 단백질이 과 발현됨을 확인할 수 있었다. pET30 벡터를 이용하여 성공적으로 발현된 mammaglobin 단백질을 분리할 수 있었다. Ni-NTA affinity chromatography에 이은 DEAE-ion exchange chromatography 분리 방법에 의해 수용성 발현 단백질인 thioredoxin-mammaglobin을 정제할 수 있었고 이 융합 단백질로부터 enterokinase를 이용하여 mammaglobin 단백질만을 분리하였다. 토끼에 분리된 mammaglobin을 complete adjuvant와 혼합하여 면역한 후 두 번 boosting하여 polyconal 항체를 얻었다. Westernblot immuno 분석을 한 결과 생산된 항체가 mammaglobin 단백질과 특이적 항원항체반응을 보임을 관찰하였다. 향후 이 항체를 이용하여 진단용 시약의 개발이나 항암제 개발 등을 위해 연구가 진행될 것이다.

To investigate host defense mechanisms for protecting the mammary gland from mastitis infection, the membrane fraction of mammary tissues from Holstein cows was purified by differential velocity centrifugation, and then the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamid gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) separated proteins were identified by ion trap mass spectrometer equipped with a Surveyor high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system. A total of 183 proteins were identified. Bioinformatics software was applied to analyse physicochemical characteristics of the identified proteins and to predict biochemical function. These data may provide valuable information to investigate the mechanisms of mammary gland milk secretion and infectious disease, and enable a clear identification of proteins and potential protein targets for therapies.
