The Saccharomyces0 cerevisiae KNU5377 strain, which was isolated from spoilage in nature, has the ability to convert biomass to alcohol at high temperatures and it can resist against various stresses [18, 19]. In order to understand the defense mechanisms of the KNU5377 strain under menadione (MD) as oxidative stress, we used several techniques for study: peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF) by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) followed by two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis, liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS), and surface-enhanced laser desorption ionization-time of flight (SELDI-TOF) technology. Among the 35 proteins identified by MALDI-TOF MS, 19 proteins including Sod1p, Sod2p, Tsa1p, and Ahp1p were induced under stress condition, while 16 proteins were augmented under normal condition. In particular, five proteins, Sod1p, Sod2p, Ahp1p, Rib3p, Yaf9p, and Mnt1p, were induced in only stressed cells. By LC-ESI-MS/MS analysis, 37 proteins were identified in normal cells and 49 proteins were confirmed in the stressed cells. Among the identified proteins, 32 proteins were found in both cells. Five proteins including Yel047cp and Met6p were only upregulated in the normal cells, whereas 17 proteins including Abp1P and Sam1p were elevated in the stressed cells. It was interesting that highly hypothetical proteins such as Ynl281wp, Ygr279cp, Ypl273wp, Ykl133cp, and Ykr074wp were only expressed in the stressed cells. SELDI-TOF analysis using the SAX2 and WCX2 chips showed that highly multiple-specific protein patterns were reproducibly detected in ranges from 2.9 to 27.0 kDa both under normal and stress conditions. Therefore, induction of antioxidant proteins, hypothetical proteins, and low molecular weight proteins were revealed by different proteomic techniques. These results suggest that comparative analyses using proteomics might contribute to elucidate the defense mechanisms of KNU5377 under MD stress.

본 연구에서는 LC/ESI/MS 및 GC/MS로 superdrol을 인체에 경구투여 한 후 채취한 요시료 중에 함유된 superdrol 및 그 대사체의 분석법을 확립하고 이들의 체내 배설형태를 조사하였다. 액체-액체 추출에서 최적 추출 pH는 6.5 이고 최적 추출 용매는 diethly ether이였다. GC/MSD를 이용하여 superdrol과 그 대사체의 분석법에 대한 유효성을 점검한 결과, intra-day의 회수율은 89.7-113.2%, 정확도 91.8-113.8%, 재현성은 0.2-6.8%로 나타났고 inter-day의 회수율은 89.3-104.1%, 정확도는 95.2-103.0%, 재현성은 0.7-7.8%로 나타났다. LC/ESI/MS을 통해 얻은 blank urine과 dosed urine의 크로마토그램을 비교하여 superdrol의 대사체를 검출하였으며 Superdrol과 그 대사체를 유도체화 시켜 GC/TOF-MS로 확인하였다. 확보된 질량스펙트럼으로부터 superdrol M1의 경우 superdrol의 3-C 위치의 케톤기가 하이드록시기로 환원된 것으로 추정할 수 있었고 M2의 경우 superdrol의 D-ring에 하이드록시기가 첨가된 것으로 추정할 수 있었다. 또한, 효소가수분해과정을 비교해 본 결과 superdrol과 그 대사체들은 대부분 글루쿠론산 포합체를 형성하여 체외로 배설되는 것을 확인하였다. Superdrol 경구투여 후 채취한 요시료로부터 superdrol과 그 대사체의 배설양상을 조사한 결과, 모두 4.3 시간에서 최대배설량을 보였고 superdrol과 superdrol M1은 48시간까지도 미량검출 되어 체내 잔류성이 높은 물질임을 확인할 수 있었다.

The purpose of stability testing is to provide evidence about how the quality of a drug varies with time under the influence of a variety of environmental factors. In this study, erythropoietin (EPO) was analyzed under different pH (pH 3 and pH 9) and temperature ($25^{\circ}C$ and $40^{\circ}C$) conditions according to current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) and International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines. The molecular weight difference between intact EPO and deglycosylated EPO was determined by SDS-PAGE, and aggregated forms of EPO under thermal stress and high-pH conditions were investigated by size exclusion chromatography. High pH and high temperature induced increases in dimer and high molecular weight aggregate forms of EPO. UPLC-ESI-TOF-MS was applied to analyze the changed modification sites on EPO. Further, normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography was performed to identify proposed glycan structures and high pH anion exchange chromatography was carried out to investigate any change in carbohydrate composition. The results demonstrated that there were no changes in modification sites or the glycan structure under severe conditions; however, the number of dimers and aggregates increased at $40^{\circ}C$ and pH 9, respectively.

Xanthium sibiricum is used as a traditional folk medicine for the treatment of cancer, fever, headache, nasal sinusitis, and skin pruritus. This study aimed to identify components from Xanthium sibiricum extracts using an SPE-800MHz NMR-MS hyphenated system. The simultaneous acquisition of MS and NMR spectra from the same chromatographic peaks significantly increases the depth of information acquired for the compound and allows the elucidation of structures that would not be possible using MS or NMR data alone. LC -NMR analysis was conducted using a HPLC separation system coupled to 800 MHz spectrometer equipped with a cryoprobe, and a SPE unit was used to automatically trap chromatographic peaks using a HPLC pump. LC-MS analysis was conducted with a Q-TOF MS instrument using ESI ionization in the negative ion mode. Using the hyphenated analysis, several secondary metabolites were identified, such as 3',5'-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 1',5'-O-dicaffeoyl- quinic acid, and ethyl caffeate. These results demonstrate that the SPE-800MHz NMR-MS hyphenated system can be used to identify metabolites within natural products that have complex mixtures.

During infection, the common respiratory tract pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae encounters several environmental conditions, such as upper respiratory tract, lung tissue, and blood stream, etc. In this study, we examined the effects of blood on S. pneumoniae protein expression using a combination of highly sensitive 2-dimensional electrophoresis (DE) and MALDI-TOF MS and/or LC/ESI-MS/MS. A comparison of expression profiles between the growth in THY medium and THY supplemented with blood allowed us to identify 7 spots, which increased or decreased two times or more compared with the control group: tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase, lactate oxidase, glutamyl-aminopeptidase, L-lactate dehydrogenase, cysteine synthase, ribose-phosphate pyrophosphokinase, and orotate phosphoribosyltransferase. This global approach can provide a better understanding of S. pneumoniae adaptation to its human host and a clue for its pathogenicity.

A variant peak was detected in the analysis of RP-HPLC of rHu-EPO, which has about 7% relative content. Fractions of the main and the variant peaks were pooled separately and further analyzed to identify the molecular structure of the variant peak. Total mass analysis for each peak fraction using ESI-TOF MS shows differences in molecular mass. The fraction of the main peak tends to result in higher molecular masses than the fraction of the variant. The detected masses for the variant are about 600-1000 Da smaller than those for the main peak. Peptide mapping analysis for each peak fraction using Asp-N and Glu-C shows differences in O-glycopeptide profiles at Ser126. The O-glycopeptides were not detected in the fraction of the variant. It is concluded that the variant peak is non-O-glycosylated rHu-EPO and the main peak is fully O-glycosylated rHu-EPO at Ser126.

So far it has been generally considered that proteomic approaches are very useful for studying plant-microbes interaction. In this review, recent studies based on papers published from 2010 to 2013 have investigated proteomics analysis in various interaction during plant-fungal pathogen infection by means of gel-based proteomics coupled with mass spectrometry (MS)-based analysis. In rice, three papers focused on rice-Magnaporthe oryzae interaction were mainly reviewed in this study. Interestingly, another study showed proteomic changes in rice inoculated with Puccinia triticina, which is not only an fungal pathogen in wheat and but also results to the disease resistance with non-host defense manner in rice. Additionally, proteomics analysis has been widely subjected to understand defense mechanism during other crops (wheat, tomato, strawberry and mint) and their fungal pathogen interaction. Crops inoculated are analyzed to identify differentially regulated proteins at various tissues such as leaf and apoplast using 2-DE analysis coupled with various MS approaches such as MALDI-TOF MS, nESI-LC-MS/MS and MudPIT, respectively. Taken together, this review article shows that proteomics is applicable to various organisms to understand plant-fungal pathogen interaction and will contribute to provide important information for crop disease diagnosis and crop protection.
