Lysozyme, glycine, EDTA의 혼합첨가가 김치발효에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다 숙성기간별로 pH 4.0에서 pH 5.0까지 김치액에 각각 120ppm lysozyme과 0.12% glycine을 첨가하였을 때 첨가구가 $10^1$~$10^4$ cfu/$m\ell$만큼 젖산균의 성장이 억제되었고 lysozyme단독 첨가구에 비해 lysozyme-glycine 혼합첨가구가 $10^1$~$10^2$cfu/$m\ell$ 만큼 더 많은 젖산균의 성장이 억제되었다. Lysozyme 단독으로 100, 200, 1,000ppm을 배추김치에 첨가하면 대조구에 비해 발효기간에 따라 pH의 감소는 둔화되었지만 말기에는 처리구간 현저한 차이는 없었다. 따라서 lysozyme-glycine 혼합 첨가하므로써 적정산도와 pH 변화가 지연되었다. 120ppm과 2mM EDTA로 나누어 첨가한 김치에 대해서도 단독구에 비해 혼합첨가구에서 $10^1$~$10^2$cfu/$m\ell$의 젖산균이 억제되었다.

난백에 함유된 lysozyme은 용균작용을 하며 ovalbumin은 면역계에서 항원으로써 역할을 한다. 난백분석에는 일반적으로 전기영동, 겔 투과 크로마토그래피, reversed-phase HPLC(RP-HPLC)를 사용하는데 신속한 분석을 위해 RPHPLC가 사용된다. HPLC 컬럼으로 C18 컬럼(Agilent, USA)을 사용하였다. 최적의 분리조건을 찾기 위해 이동상의 조성과 온도를 변화하였고 용량인자, 분리도를 계산하여 그 값을 비교하였다. 등용매 용리에서 acetonitrile(ACN), distilled ater(DW), trifluoroacetic acid(TFA)의 이동상 부피비를 30/70/0.1~60/40/0.1로 ACN 부피비를 10%씩 증가시키며 실험하였고 이 때 온도는 $20^{\circ}C$이었다. 기울기 용리에서는 ACN과 증류수의 비율을 20분 동안 10/90~60/40으로 증가시켰고 20, 30, $40^{\circ}C$의 온도변화를 주었다. 등용매 용리에서 이동상 조성이 50/50/0.1일 때 세 개의 피크로 분리되었고 개의 피크 중 첫 번째 피크가 lysozyme, 세 번째 피크가 ovalbumin임을 확인하였다. 기울기 용리에서는 온도가 $30^{\circ}C$일 때 네 개의 피크가 나왔으며 네 개의 피크 중 첫 번째 피크가 lysozyme, 세 번째 피크가 ovalbumin임을 확인하였다.

Serum lysozyme gene is one of the important genes influencing the immune system as its product can cause lysis of bacterial cell wall by cleaving the peptidoglycan layer. The present investigation on the serum lysozyme gene of Indian riverine buffalo was undertaken with the objectives to identify and characterize single nucleotide polymorphic patterns by PCR-SSCP method as well as to study the effect of different genotypes on serum lysozyme activity and somatic cell count. A total of 280 animals comprising four different famous bubaline breeds (Murrah, Mehsana, Surti and Bhadawari), spread over six different farms across the country were used for this study. A 276 bp (partial intron 2, complete exon 3 and partial intron 3) fragment of lysozyme gene was screened for polymorphism using the SSCP technique. Four genotypes namely AA, AB, BC and AC were observed, out of which BC genotype was found to be the most frequent. Among these three alleles, C allele (0.38) was most prevalent in these populations. Various SSCP allelic variants were cloned for sequencing and sequences were submitted to NCBI Genbank. From the alignment of the nucleotide sequences of various allelic variants, it was found that there were differences in 12 positions among the alleles, out of which maximum variation (at 8 places) was found in the intronic region. The allele A was closer to allele-C than allele-B. Allele B was phylogenetically equidistant from both of the other alleles. Mean lysozyme activity determined in serum samples of different animals of Murrah buffalo was $27.35{\pm}2.42\;{\mu}g$ per ml of serum, whereas the mean somatic cell count was $1.25{\pm}0.13{\times}10^5$ cells per ml of milk. The SSCP pattern-wise effects of various genotypes on lysozyme activity and SCC were analyzed. Although the mean values were apparently different in various genotypes, these differences were statistically non-significant. It can be concluded that the riverine buffaloes are sufficiently polymorphic with respect to serum lysozyme gene. The absence of AA genotype in Bhadawari breed of buffalo can be considered as a marker for breed characterization. The difference of four nucleotides in exon-3 indicates high selection pressure on the gene.

Many studies on crystal growth mechanisms of the hen egg-white lysozyme protein crystals have mainly performed by optical microscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). As results, two types of growth mechanisms, which are a two-dimensional nucleation mechanism and a spiral growth mechanism, were identified. However, there was no direct evidence of grown-in screw dislocations at the spiral sites. We first observed the screw dislocations in tetragonal lysozyme crystals using synchrotron X-ray topography. In addition, to confirm the characteristics of dislocations, we have observed some elastic constants in lysozyme crystals in terms of the sound velocity measurement by pulse echo methods. Tetragonal hen egg-white lysozyme crystals were grown by the concentration gradient method. The crystals were grown in test tubes, with an inner diameter of 8 ㎜ and 80 ㎜ in length, held vertically. The test tubes were kept at 23C for 2 weeks. The maximum size of crystals were 3×3×4 ㎟. The high quality crystals were examined by Laue topography with a water filter using synchrotron radiation. Figure is a X-ray topograph. Several straight screw dislocations were observed. We also determined Burgers vector to be a [110] direction. The measurement of sound velocity was performed by the digital signal processing method. the crystals were placed in stainless steel vessel, which was filled with lysozyme solution used for crystal growth. We observed the longitudinal sound velocity along the [110] direction in the tetragonal is obtained to be 1817 ㎧. Therefore, Young modulus and shear modulus were evaluated to be 2.70 Gpa and 1.02 Gpa, respectively, if we assumed Poisson ratio is 0.33. These results will be discussed at the meeting.

난백 lysozyme은 박테리아 세포벽을 선택적으로 분해하므로 식품 가공 및 저장용 천연 식품보존제로서의 이용 가치가 높다. 농도(0.25, 0.5, 1.0%, w/v)를 달리한 난백 용액을 예비여과하여 얻은 여액(PFS)과 PFS를 $35^{\circ}C$에서 한외여과하여 얻은 여액(PMS)의 단백질 농도와 lysozyme 농도를 측정하고 비활성도와 purification factor를 계산하여 최적 분리 농도를 결정하였다. 난백 용액의 각 단계별 lysozyme의 분리 정제도를 겔 크로마토그래피와 전기영동으로 확인하였으며, PM30 막에 대한 난백 단백질의 막 침착도는 SEM으로 관찰하였다. 예비여과와 한외여과 단계를 거치면서 lysozyme 이외의 비효소성 단백질은 99% 이상이 제거되었다. 비활성도는 0.25% PMS>0.50% PMS>1.0% PMS 순이었으며 PFS에 비해 PMS의 비활성도는 한외여과 단계를 거치면서 최저 18배에서 최고 31배까지 증가하였으므로, 비활성도와 purification factor가 가장 높은 0.25% 난백 용액을 최적 농도로 결정하였다. 난백 용액(0.25%, w/v)의 겔투과 크로마토그래피 결과 비효소 획분은 대부분 ovalbumin으로 판명되었으며, 전기영동 결과 PMS내에는 고순도의 lysozyme이 존재하였다. 분자량이 큰 단백질들이 $0.9{\mu}m$의 두께로 한외여과 막 표면에 침착되었으나, SEM 관찰 결과 이들 침착 단백질의 대부분은 0.1 N NaOH로 세척시 제거되는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, polysulfone계의 PM30 막을 사용한 한외여과 공정이 고순도의 lysozyme만을 선택적으로 분리하는데 매우 효과적이었다.

The immune system in teleost fish is not completely developed during embryonic and larval stages, therefore effective innate mechanisms is very important for survival in such an environment. However, the knowledge of the development of immune system assumed to be restricted. In many species, lysozymes have been considered as important genes of the first line immune defense. The early detection of lysozyme mRNA in previous reports, led to the investigation of its presence in oocytes. As a result, c-type lysozyme mRNA transcripts were detected in unfertilized oocytes indicating maternal transfer. Therefore, we investigated the expression patterns of lysozymes in flounder, including the matured oocyte. In our results, c-type lysozyme mRNA was first detected in unfertilized oocyte stage, observed the significantly decreased until hatching stage, and was significantly increased after hatching stage. On the other hand, g-type lysozyme mRNA transcripts were first detected at late neurula stage, and the mRNA level was significantly increased after 20 dph. It may be suggest that maternally supplied mRNAs are selectively degraded prior to the activation of embryonic transcription. This study will be help in understanding the maturation and onset of humoral immunity during development of olive flounder immune system.

Lysozyme was trapped from $2{\times}$ diluted egg white using Amberlite FPC 3500 ion exchange resin (1 g/10mL of egg white). The lysozyme bound to the resin was recovered using 0.1 N glycine-NaOH buffers, pH 9.0, containing 0.5 M NaCl. After separating lysozyme, the pH of the egg white solution was adjusted to 4.75 and centrifuged to remove interfering proteins. The supernatant was collected, added with 2.5% citric acid and 5.0% ammonium sulfate combination to precipitate egg white proteins, except for ovalbumin. After centrifugation, both supernatant (S1) and precipitant were collected. The precipitant was dissolved with 4 volumes of distilled water, and then 2.0% ammonium sulfate and 1.5% citric acid combinations added, stirred overnight in a cold room, and centrifuged. The resulting supernatant (S2) was pooled with the first supernatant (S1), desalted using an ultrafiltration unit, heat-treated at $70^{\circ}C$ for 15 min, and then centrifuged. The supernatant was collected as an ovalbumin fraction and lyophilized. The separated proteins were confirmed using Western blotting. The yield of lysozyme and ovalbumin was > 88.9% and > 97.7%, respectively, and the purity of lysozyme and ovalbumin was > 97% and 87%, respectively. The results indicated that the protocol was simple, and separated lysozyme and ovalbumin effectively.

The lysozymes encoded by bacteriophage T7 and K11 are both bifunctional enzymes sharing an extensive sequence homology (75%). The constructions of chimeric lysozymes were carried out by swapping the N-terminal and C-terminal domains between phage T7 and K11 lysozymes. This technique generated two chimeras, T7K11-lysozyme (N-terminal T7 domain and C-terminal K11 domain) and K11T7-lysozyme (N-terminal K11 domain and C-terminal T7 domain), which are both enzymatically active. The amidase activity of T7K11-lysozyme is comparable with the parental enzymes while K11T7-lysozyme exhibits an activity that is approximately 45% greater than the wild-type lysozymes. Moreover, these chimeric constructs have optimum pH of 7.2-7.4 similar to the parental lysozymes but exhibit greater thermal stabilities. On the other hand, the chimeras inhibit transcription comparable with the parental lysozymes depending on the source of their N-terminals. Taken together, our results indicated that domain swapping technique localizes the N-terminal region as the domain responsible for the transcription inhibition specificity of the wild type T7 and K11 lysozymes. Furthermore, we were able to develop a simple and rapid purification scheme in purifying both the wild-type and chimeric lysozymes.
