Changes in the activity of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) isoenzymes and isoforms in human serum have a major diagnostic value, therefore the regulation of ALP activities is a valuable target for therapeutic interventions. To assess the pharmacological activity of retinoids, i.e., all-trans retinoic acid and 13-cis retinoic acid, their tissue-specific inhibitory effect on human serum ALP activity was elucidated by chemical inhibition methods, heat-sensitive inactivation, and wheat-germ lectin precipitation test. Retinoids showed significant inhibition of the total ALP activity in human serum at a concentration of 5 mM. All-trans retinoic acid (5 mM) and 13-cis retinoic acid (5 mM) inhibited ALP activities by up to 12% and 15%, respectively, compared to that by guanidine hydrochloride (200 mM). L-phenylalanine (100 mM) and urea (30 mM) had no further inhibitory effect on ALP activities in human serum pretreated with retinoids (5 mM). Retinoids significantly inhibited ALP activities by up to 20% compared with that of tetramisole (30 mM). The ALP activities in retinoid-pretreated serum remained unchanged after the heat inactivation process. These results suggest that retinoids are inhibitors of the intestinal ALP isoenzyme. Remarkably, retinoids revealed potent inhibitory activities against ALP in wheat-germ lectin precipitant serum, indicating that they also function as inhibitors of the bone ALP isoform. The results show that retinoids inhibit the specific tissue-derived human serum ALP activities, moreover, the inhibitory effect of retinoids against bone ALP activity suggests their clinical utility as monitoring and prevention of metastasis of bone cancer.

CKP isoenzymes have a high level of efficaciousness as diagnostic and prognostic aids in various diseases. There is not any report on the total activity of CPK of non-human primates, let alone CPK isoenzyme patterns, in Korea. In this study, total activities and isoenzyme patterns of CPK were measured to obtain their reference values in domestically reared common marmosets, crab-eating macaques and Japanese macaques. We observed remarkable different values of serum total CPK from the primates used in this experiment. Serum CPK activities of Japanese macaques and crab-eating macaques were 275.8$\pm$158.1 IU/l and 396.7$\pm$697.4 IU/l, respectively, whereas those of common marmosets showed much higher value of 618.8$\pm$1,117.6 IU/l. In all common marmosets and crab-eating macaques, only CPK$_3$ ws observed. In five out of eight Japanese macaques, CPK$_3$ was the sole fraction but two animals showed CPK$_1$ and CPK$_3$ isoenzymes, and the remaining one had CPK$_2$ and CPK$_3$ fractions. There were some discrepancies in the pattern and ratio of isoenzyme fractions in Japanese macaques. In conclusion, values such as CPK and CPK isoenzyme patterns of investigated for the first time form non-human primates reared in Korea, could be reference values for the optimal diagnosis and therapy diseases of the corresponding animal species.

To investigate the involvement of protein kinase C(PKC) isoenzyme in the testes which control spermatogenesis and hormone secretion, we examined cellular distribution of four types of PKC $\alpha$, ${\beta}I$, ${\delta}$ and ${\theta}$ in the horse testes using PKC antisera by western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry. By the western blot analysis, PKC $\alpha$ and ${\beta}I$ were detected at 82KD, while PKC ${\delta}$ and ${\theta}$ were detected at 80KD in the testes of both juvenile and adult horses. In juvenile horse, PKC $\alpha$, ${\delta}$ and ${\theta}$ except ${\beta}I$ were not detected in the cells of the testes, whereas PKC ${\beta}I$ was immunoreacted with only in spermatocytes. In adult, PKC $\alpha$, ${\beta}I$, ${\delta}$ and ${\theta}$isoenzymes were localized in interstitial cells of the testes. In the seminiferous tubules, PKC ${\beta}I$ is localized in spermatocyte, spermatid and spermatozoa, while PKC ${\delta}$ is localized only in spermatids. We suggest that this is a first report to localize PKC in the testes of horse and PKC isoenzymes are upregulated in the cells of horse testes depending on ages. These findings also suggest that certain PKC isoenzyme plays an important role in the signal transduction of spermatogenic cells and interstitial cells in horse testes.

This experiment was designed to study the effects of temperature on the peroxidase isoenzymes of a mesophilic microorganism, Escherichia coli (grown within biokinetic zone). Optimum temperature for the growth of E. coli was $37{\circ}C.$ Three different temperatures, 20, 30 and $40{\circ}C,$ were selected. And the isoenzyme patterns of peroxidase of E. coli, growth respectively at each temperature, were analysed by disc electrophoresis. The sample of 20.deg.C showed 4 bands, that of 30.deg.C, 5 bands and that of 40.deg.C, 6 bands. Two dark bands (higher molecular weight, 56,000 and 54,000) and two light bands (lower molecular weight, 11,500 and 10,000) were constant at all samples. But two intermediate bands (M.W.44,000 and 34,000) were variable ; at $20{\circ}C,$ no banding pattern, one band 9M.W. 34,000) only at $30{\circ}C,$ and at $40{\circ}C$ two bands were appeared. And the shifts of growth temperatures between 30.deg.C and 40.deg.C showed the alteration of the isoenzyme patterns ; the isoenzyme patterns of the smaple of tmeperature shift from $30{\circ}C$ to $40{\circ}C$ were same as that of 40.deg.C and vice versa.

Citrate synthase 1 (mitochondrial) and citrate synthase 2 (nonmitochondrial) were purified from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The physical and enzymatic characteristics of citrate synthase 2 were ananlyzed in comparison with citrate synthase 1. Both isoenzymes were shown to be dimeric proteins of identical subunits, and the molecular weights of the subunits were estimated to be 48.3kDa for citrate synthase 1 and 47.0kDa for citrate synthase 2, respectively. The optimal pH value for enzyme activity was pH 7.5 for both isoenzymes. However, the optimal temperature for the activity was strikingly different; while the activity of citrate synthase 1 reached its peak at 65.deg.C, that of citrate synthase 2 was maximal at 40.deg.C. Citrate synthase 2 showed much lower thermal and pH stability than citrate synthase 1. In addition, citrate synthase 2 was affected much more by the metal ions such as $Zn^{2+}$ , $Mn^{2+ , and $Co^{2+} than citrate synthase 1. Among the several possible regulatory metabolites tested, ATP showed the strongest inhibitory effect on both enzymes. ADP and NADH were found to have greater effect on citrate synthase 2 than on citrate synthase 1. Kinetic analysis revealed that citrate synthase 2 has approximately 7- and 3.5-fold lower affinity to acetyl CoA and to oxaloacetate, respectively, than citrate synthase 1.

Laccase는 여러개의 Cu를 포함하는 효소로서 분자상 산소를 환원시키면서 패놀성 및 비페놀성화합물의 산화를 촉매하는 작용을 한다. 이들 효소들은 미생물 고유의 혹은 유도상의 동위효소의 형태로 목질화된 세포벽을 침투하게 된다. 백색부후균은 많은 종류의 고유의 혹은 유도상의 동위효소를 생산한다. 이들 균체 laccase효소들은 통상 $Cu^{2+}$, $Cd^{2+}$ $Ca^{2+}$, $Li^+$, $Mn^{2+}$, $Ag^+$, $Hg^{2+}$, Mn 및 $Fe^{3+}$이온과 같은 금속이온들, 페놀성 화합물, ethanol, isopropanol, cAMP, caffeine, p-anisidine, viscosinamide 및 paraquat 등과 같은 유기화합물, 질소 및 열충격 등에 의하여 유도될 수 있다. Cu 및 pHB (p-hydroxybenzoic acid)의 조합으로 laccase 활성을 30배이상 유도시킬 수 있었다. 여러 가지 inducer 가운데, 2,5-xylidine이 담자균 및 기타 다른 고등균류로부터 160배이상의 가장 효과적인 laccase의 유도효과를 나타냈다. 한편 laccase효소는 Pycnoporus cinnabarinus의 gene family로부터 자주 code로 표시되었는데, lcc3-1 혹은 lac1 및 lac3-2의 페어 gene으로 클론 및 시퀀싱되었다. 유도형 laccase의 경우 mRNA의 합성에 의존하여 laccase가 생성되며, 이러한 유도효과는 결국 새로운 단백질의 합성으로부터 기인된다.

Non-human primates have been increasing in demand as important experimental animals and companion animals, domestically and internationally. The number of non-human primates for these purposes will be much enhanced in the near future. Despite this trend, basic physiological data are scarcely available in these animal species, leading to the difficulty to diagnose diseases when necessary, due to the absence of reference values. Particularly, there is not any report on the total activity of LDH of non-human primates, let alone LDH isoenzyme patterns, in Korea. LDH isoenzymes have a high level of efficaciousness as diagnostic and prognostic aids in various diseases. In this study, total activities and isoenzyme patterns of LDH were measured to obtain their reference values in domestically reared common marmosets, crab-eating macaques and Japanese macaques. There were widespread different values of serum total LDH among the non-human primate species experimented in this study. Serum LDH values of common marmosets and crab-eating macaques were 597.5$\pm$243.1 IU/l and 605.3$\pm$312.6 IU/l, respectively, whereas those of Japanese macaque showed 1,209$\pm$473.8 IU/l. Five isoenzyme fractions of LDH were observed in all experimented non-human primates but their ranks and proportions represented different patterns one another. In common marmosets, the percent of fraction for serum LDH1, LDH$_2$, LDH$_3$, LDH$_4$, and LDH$_{5}$ was 13.7$\pm$6.4%, 23.3$\pm$3.6%, 29.2$\pm$5.0%, 9.4$\pm$1.4% and 24.4$\pm$7.5%, respectively. The rank of LDH isoenzymes was LDH$_3$>LDH$_{5}$>LDH$_2$>LDH$_1$>LDH$_4$, in the descending order. For crab-eating macaques, the fraction of serum LDH$_1$, LDH$_2$, LDH$_3$, LDH$_4$, and LDH$_{5}$ occupied 19.5$\pm$12.7%, 25.3$\pm$9.3%, 23.8$\pm$8.1%, 10.2$\pm$2.8% and 21.3$\pm$14.2%, respectively. The order of LDH isoenzymes was LDH$_2$>LDH$_3$>LDH$_{5}$>LDH$_1$>LDH$_4$, from top to down. On the while, in Japanese macaques, the fraction of serum LDH$_1$ to LDH$_{5}$ showed 23.4$\pm$11.8%, 30.5$\pm$4.1%, 17.4$\pm$3.9%, 11.3$\pm$3.7% and 13.8$\pm$5.6%, respectively. The decreasing order indicated LDH$_2$>LDH$_1$>LDH$_3$>LDH$_{5}$>LDH$_4$. In conclusion, values such as LDH and LDH isoenzyme patterns of investigated for the first time from non-human primates reaared in Korea, could be reference values for the optimal diagnosis and therapy of diseases of the corresponding animal species. Other parameters of hematology and blood biochemistry are urgently needed to study for the benefit of our intimate non-human primates.an primates.
