Single seeds of common buckwheat cultivar Suwon No. 1 when subjected to SDS-PAGE revealed very high polymorphism. High variation existed for protein or protein subunits with molecular weight 54-47kDa, 45-25kDa and 16-11kDa. The electrophoregram showed variation for globulin as well as other protein fractions. About 300 proteins were separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis in common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench.) seed. Seed maturation is a dynamic and temporally regulated phase of seed development that determines the composition of storage proteins reserves in mature seeds. Buckwheat seeds from 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 days after pollination and matured stage were used for the analysis. This led to the establishment of high-resolution proteome reference maps, expression profiles of 48 spots. It was identified 48 proteins from MALDI-TOF/MS analysis of wild buckwheat seed storage proteins. The 48 proteins were found identical or similar to those of proteins reported in buckwheat and other plants; it is belonging to 9 major functional categories including seed storage proteins, stress/defense response, protein synthesis, photosynthesis, allergy proteins, amino acid, enzyme, metabolism, and miscellaneous. It appears that the major allergenic storage protein separated played the important role in buckwheat breeding and biochemical characterization.

This study has been performed to measure the prevalence and microbial flora on chicken slaughtering as well as the processing process from the months of October to November. Whole-chicken rinsing technique was used in order to analyze the incidence of microorganisms on chicken carcass at the stage before chilling (after evisceration), after chilling and after cutting. The swab technique was used on processing the processed samples, such as working plates and cutting knives. Brine and cooling water from four cooling tubs were taken from each processing processes and were used as samples. Furthermore, the matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS) for whole cell fingerprinting in combination with a dedicated bioinformatic software tool was used to identify the isolated microorganisms. Of the tested samples and processes, brine ($4.50{\pm}0.64$ Log CFU/mL) and chicken carcass before chilling ($4.15{\pm}0.46$ Log CFU/mL) showed the highest population of microorganisms; the predominant microbial flora of them were Moellerella wisconsensis (54.84%), a member of the Enterobacteriaceae family, and Escherichia coli (60.36%), respectively. However, the predominant microbial flora of cut carcass was changed to Staphylococcus aureus (27.32%), which is a kind of pathogenic microorganism that can cause a food-borne illness. Therefore, the slaughtering and processing procedure of chicken are needed to be controlled more hygienically.

Potato is one of the most important crops worldwide. Its commercial cultivars are highly susceptible to many fungal and bacterial diseases. Among these, bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia solanacearum causes significant yield loss. In the present study, integrated proteomics and genomics approaches were used in order to identify bacterial wilt resistant genes from Rs resistance potato cultivar CT-206-10. 2-DE and MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS analysis identified eight differentially abundant proteins including glycine-rich RNA binding protein (GRP), tomato stress induced-1 (TSI-1) protein, pathogenesis-related (STH-2) protein and pentatricopeptide repeat containing (PPR) protein in response to Rs infection. Further, semi-quantitative RT-PCR identified up-regulation in transcript levels of all these genes upon Rs infection. Taken together, our results showed the involvement of the identified proteins in the Rs stress tolerance in potato. In the future, it would be interesting to raise the transgenic plants to further validate their involvement in resistance against Rs in potato.

Of the Acinetobacter spp., A. baumannii (genospecies 2) is the most clinically significant in terms of hospital-acquired infections worldwide. It is difficult to perform Acinetobacter-related taxonomy using phenotypic characteristics and routine laboratory methods owing to clusters of closely related species. The ability to accurately identify Acinetobacter spp. is clinically important because antimicrobial susceptibility and clinical relevance differs significantly among the different genospecies. Based on the medical importance of pathogenic Acinetobacter spp., the distribution and characterization of Acinetobacter spp. isolates from 123 clinical samples was determined in the current study using four typically applied bacterial identification methods; partial rpoB gene sequencing, amplified rRNA gene restriction analysis (ARDRA) of the intergenic transcribed spacer (ITS) region of the 16~23S rRNA, the $VITEK^{(R)}$ 2 system (an automated microbial identification system) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). A. baumannii isolates (74.8%, 92/123) were the most common species, A. nosocomialis (10.6%, 13/123) and A. pittii isolates (7.5%, 9/123) were second and third most common strains of the A. calcoaceticus-A. baumannii (ACB) complex, respectively. A. soli (5.0%, 6/123) was the most common species of the non-ACB complex. RpoB gene sequencing and ARDRA of the ITS region were demonstrated to lead to more accurate species identification than the other methods of analysis used in this study. These results suggest that the use of rpoB genotyping and ARDRA of the ITS region is useful for the species-level identification of Acinetobacter isolates.

Chinese fir (Latin name: Cunninghaimia lanceolata) is one of the major commercial coniferous trees. Most of Chinese fir forests are managed in successive rotation sites, which lead productivity to decline. Autotoxicity is the important reason for soil degradation of Chinese fir plantation, especially, phenolic acids are considered as the major allelopathic toxins which induce autotoxicity in Chinese fir rotation stands. We performed here proteomic approach to investigate the response of proteins in Chinese fir leaves to salicylic acid. The tube plantlets of Chinese fir clone were treated with 120 mg/L salicylic acid for 1, 3 and 5th day. 2-DE, coupled with MALDI-TOF-TOF/MS, was used to separate and identify the responsive proteins. We found 12, 7, and 12 candidate protein spots that were up- or down-regulated by at least 2.5 fold after 1, 3, and 5th day of the stress, respectively. Of these protein spots, 16 spots were identified successfully. According to the putative physiological functions, these proteins were categorized into five classes (1) the proteins involved in protein stability and folding, including 26S proteome, Grp78, Hsp70, Hsp90 and PPIase; (2) the protein involved in photosynthesis and respiration, including OEC 33 kDa subunit, GAPDH; (3) the protein related to cell endurance to acid, F-ATPase; (4) the protein related to cytoskeleton, tubulin; (5) the protein related to protein translation: prolyl-tRNA synthetase. These results give new insights into autotoxic substance stress response in Chinese fir leaves and provide preliminary footprints for further studies on the molecular signal mechanisms induced by the stress.

식물 내생균 Bacillus sp. CY22는 식물병원균 Rhizoctonia solani, Fusarium oxysporum 및 Phythium ultimum에 대해 강한 항균력을 나타내었다. 일반적으로 많은 Bacillus속 균주들은 iturin, fengycin, mycosubtulin과 같은 항균 물질을 분비한다. 본 연구에서는 식물내생균 Bacillus sp. CY22의 배양액으로부터 항균물질을 분리, 정제하였으며 MALDI-TOF mass로 분자량을 확인하였다. MALDI-TOF mass spectrum분석 결과 분리된 항균물질은 Bacillus 속 균주가 생성하는 항균물질로서 잘 알려져 있는 iturin의 분자량과 거의 일치하였으며, m/z 1043.4, 1057.4, 1071.4에서 molecular ion peak를 나타내었다. 이들은 각각 m/z 14차이를 가진 iturin의 isoform으로 추정되며 이 것은 iturin을 구성하고 있는 지방산의 탄소수 차이로 생각되며 m/z 1065.4, 1079.4 peak는 sodium adduct로서 추정된다. 또한 항균물질 iturin을 생성하는데 관여하는 transacylase 유전자를 크로닝하여 ita22 유전자로 명명하고, 그 특성으로 ita22 유전자는 400 개의 아미노산을 인지하는 1,200 bp의 open reading frame (ORF)을 가지며, 아미노산의 상동성을 조사한 결과 Bacillus subtilis 168의 FenF (BAB69697)와 가장 유사하였다.

본 연구는 국내 미지정 피막제인 산화형 폴리에틸렌 왁스를 분석하기 위해 다양한 분석방법을 비교, 검토하였으며, 확립된 최적 분석법을 이용하여 시중 유통되는 과일 및 견과류에서 산화형 폴리에틸렌 왁스의 사용여부를 모니터링 하였다. 최적 분석법을 확립하기 위하여 산가, HT-GPC, MALDI-TOF/MS, GC-FID, FT-IR 등을 비교하였다. 산가측정 결과 산화형 폴리에틸렌 왁스를 첨가한 시료와 첨가하지 않은 시료 모두 산가가 1.12 mg KOH/g로 산가의 변화가 나타나지 않아 산가를 이용한 식품 중 산화형 폴리에틸렌 왁스의 분석은 어려울 것으로 판단되었으며, HT-GPC분석은 표준물질의 분산도 값이 약 3.4로 확인되었으며, GPC를 이용한 분석은 실험실간 낮은 재현성과 컬럼 등 분석조건에 따른 결과 값이 달라질 수 있기 때문에 분자량의 분산도만으로 식품 중 산화형 폴리에틸렌 왁스의 분석은 어려울 것으로 판단되었다. MALDI-TOF/MS 분석은 700~2,000 m/z에 peak가 관찰되었지만, 산화형 폴리에틸렌 왁스 성적서에 적혀있는 분자량 범위인 2,700~2,800 m/z와 큰 차이를 보여, MALDI-TOF/MS를 이용한 분석 역시 어려울 것으로 판단되었다. GC-FID를 이용한 지방산 분석결과 산화형 폴리에틸렌 왁스 표준물질에서 과일 및 견과류에서 흔히 볼 수 없는 지방산인 C11:0, C15:1 지방산이 검출되었지만, 제외국 허용기준으로 첨가하여 분석하였을 때 관찰되지 않고, 고농도를 첨가할 경우에만 피크가 관찰되어 GC-FID를 이용한 분석은 어려울 것으로 판단되었다. FT-IR 분석결과 코팅된 견과류 시료와 코팅되지 않은 견과류 시료를 비교하였을 때 코팅된 시료에서 산화형 폴리에틸렌 왁스 표준물질의 spectrum과 일치하는 spectrum을 나타내어, 식품 중 산화형 폴리에틸렌 왁스의 분석은 FT-IR로 분석이 가능함을 확인하였다. 확립된 FT-IR 분석법을 이용하여 국내외 대형마트에서 구입한 111건의 과일 및 견과류를 분석한 결과 산화형 폴리에틸렌 왁스를 사용한 시료가 없음을 확인하였다.

Background: At present, the diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) requires a colorectal biopsy which is an invasive procedure. We undertook this pilot study to develop an alternative method and potential new biomarkers for diagnosis, and validated a set of well-integrated tools called ClinProt to investigate the serum peptidome in CRC patients. Methods: Fasting blood samples from 67 patients diagnosed with CRC by histological diagnosis, 55 patients diagnosed with colorectal adenoma by biopsy, and 65 healthy volunteers were collected. Division was into a model construction group and an external validation group randomly. The present work focused on serum proteomic analysis of model construction group by ClinProt Kit combined with mass spectrometry. This approach allowed construction of a peptide pattern able to differentiate the studied populations. An external validation group was used to verify the diagnostic capability of the peptidome pattern blindly. An immunoassay method was used to determine serum CEA of CRC and controls. Results: The results showed 59 differential peptide peaks in CRC, colorectal adenoma and health volunteers. A genetic algorithm was used to set up the classification models. Four of the identified peaks at m/z 797, 810, 4078 and 5343 were used to construct peptidome patterns, achieving an accuracy of 100% (> CEA, P<0.05). Furthermore, the peptidome patterns could differentiate the validation group with high accuracy close to 100%. Conclusions: Our results showed that proteomic analysis of serum with MALDI-TOF MS is a fast and reproducible approach, which may provide a novel approach to screening for CRC.
