  • Onocogene의 일종인 c-raf protein kinase는 세포질 속에 존재하는 serine / threonine-speccific protein이며, 이것은 mitogene signal에 의해 활성화된다. c-raf protein kinase의 구조와 기능은 protein kinase C와 매우 유사한 것으로 생각된다. 면역세포화학적으로 c-raf protein kinase의 signal transduction을 조사하기 위하여 EC-4 세포에 tumor promotor인 12-0-tet-radecanoylphorbol-13-acetae와 mitogenic gactor인 platelet-derived growth factor로 time-course에 따라서 처리하였다. Translocotion되는 c-raf는 먼저 perinuclear membrane에 모이고 그 후에 핵내로 이동되었다. 그런데 TPA와 PDGF로 처리한 c-raf의 translocotion은 각각의 다른 경로를 가짐을 알 수 있었다. TPA와 PAGF을 장기간 처리하였을 때, c-raf protein kinase의 down regulation이 유도됨을 알 수 있었다.

  • Conversion of the normal soluble form of prion protein, PrP ($PrP^C$), to proteinase K-resistant form ($PrP^{Sc}$) is a common molecular etiology of prion diseases. Proteinase K-resistance is attributed to a drastic conformational change from ${\alpha}$-helix to ${\beta}$-sheet and subsequent fibril formation. Compelling evidence suggests that membranes play a role in the conformational conversion of PrP. However, biophysical mechanisms underlying the conformational changes of PrP and membrane binding are still elusive. Recently, we demonstrated that the putative transmembrane domain (TMD; residues 111-135) of Syrian hamster PrP penetrates into the membrane upon the reduction of the conserved disulfide bond of PrP. To understand the mechanism underlying the membrane insertion of the TMD, here we explored changes in conformation and membrane binding abilities of PrP using wild type and cysteine-free mutant. We show that the reduction of the disulfide bond of PrP removes motional restriction of the TMD, which might, in turn, expose the TMD into solvent. The released TMD then penetrates into the membrane. We suggest that the disulfide bond regulates the membrane binding mode of PrP by controlling the motional freedom of the TMD.

  • 두부순물에 함유되어 있는 유용성 물질을 분리·농축하고자 한외여과법을 행하고 그 효율성을 분석하였다. 재생섬유소막과 polysulphone막 모두 pH가 증가할수록 막투과 속도가 감소하였고, pH 3.5에서 한외여과 효율이 가장 높게 나타났다. EDTA를 0.01 M 처리한 두부순물의 경우, 처리하지 않은 것보다 오히려 막투과 속도가 감소하였다. 또한 pH가 증가할수록 두부순물의 이온성 칼슘의 농도가 감소하여 이온성 칼슘의 농도 또한 막투과 속도에 영향을 준다고 생각되었다. Polysulphone막의 경우 용적농축비가 10일 때 COD의 막 제거계수가 79.25%, 단백질 막 제거계수가 98.42%로 나타나 정화효과와 농축액으로의 단백질 농축효과가 컸으며 , 재생섬유소막은 단백질의 막제거 계수는 polysulphone막보다 낮았으나 당을 여과액쪽으로 회수하고자 할 때 더 효율적인 것으로 나타났다. 올리고당을 여과액쪽으로 회수하고자 할 때 라피노오스와 스타키오스의 농도를 상대적으로 높이기 위해서 polysulphone막보다 재생섬유소막이 더 적당하며, 용적농축비는 4배 정도가 적합한 것으로 나타났다.

  • The transcription factor SHE1 was identified as an interacting partner with the cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) 1a protein in the yeast two-hybrid system, by a pull-down assay, and via bimolecular fluorescent complementation. Using fluorescent-tagged proteins and confocal microscopy, the CMV 1a protein itself was found distributed predominantly between the nucleus and the tonoplast membrane, although it was also found in speckles in the cytoplasm. The SHE1 protein was localized in the nucleus, but in the presence of the CMV 1a protein was partitioned between the nucleus and the tonoplast membrane. SHE1 expression was induced by infection of tobacco with four tested viruses: CMV, tobacco mosaic virus, potato virus X and potato virus Y. Transgenic tobacco expressing the CMV 1a protein showed constitutive expression of SHE1, indicating that the CMV 1a protein may be responsible for its induction. However, previously, such plants also were shown to have less resistance to local and systemic movement of tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) expressing the green fluorescent protein, suggesting that the CMV 1a protein may act to prevent the function of the SHE1 protein. SHE1 is a member of the AP2/ERF class of transcription factors and is conserved in sequence in several Nicotiana species, although two clades of SHE1 could be discerned, including both different Nicotiana species and cultivars of tobacco, varying by the presence of particular insertions or deletions.

  • 유방암세포는 여러 종류의 성장인자 수용체를 가지며, 이를 통해 성장신호를 전달한다. 따라서, 이러한 수용체들의 신호전달 경로에 있는 공통적인 2차전달자들의 조절기작을 밝히는 것이 중요하다. 이 연구는 MCF-7 cell에 있어서, 에스트로젠과 TGF-$\alpha$ , EGF와 같은 성장인자의 mitogenic signal을 전달하는 second messenger에 폴리아민이 어떤 영향을 미치는지, 또 membrane-associated proteins의 인산화에 폴리아민이 어떤 조절기작을 가지는지를 알아보고자 한다. 폴리아민 생합성 억제제인 DFMO는 154, 134, 116, 104 kDa의 membrane-associated proteins의 인산화를 억제하였고, DFMO에 의해 억제된 단백질 인산화는 폴리아민 첨가로 다시 회복 되었다. $E_2$, TGF-$\alpha$, EGF, DFMO는 모두 단백질의 타이로신 인산화에는 크게 영향을 미치지 않았으나, 처리해준 폴리아민에 의해 154, 134, 116 kDa의 단백질의 타이로신 인산화는 급격히 증가하였다. 또한 $E_2$, TGF-$\alpha$, EGF는 모두 같은 단백질에서 유사하게 인산화를 유도하였다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때, $E_2$와 TGF-$\alpha$, EGF와 같은 성장촉진인자의 signaling pathway는 154, 134, 116, 104 kDa 단백질을 기질로 하는 여러 가지 다양한 종류의 protein kinase를 통해서 서로 cross-talk하고 있으며, 폴리아민은 154, 134, 116, 104 kDa와 같은 여러 가지 membrane-associated proteins의 인산화를 조절함으로서 이러한 cross-talk pathway에 관여하고 있는 것으로 사려된다.

  • In this article, we show that the orf slr1471 from Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 codes for a functional member of the YidC/Alb3/Oxa1 protein family, and the encoded protein has a transmembrane topology with a common core structure. Using specific antibodies raised against the Synechocystis YidC homologous protein, we further show that the Synechocystis YidC protein appears to be predominantly localized in the cyanobacterial cytoplasmic membrane. The impact of the described findings for synthesis of membrane proteins and for protein sorting within cyanobacterial cells is discussed.

  • Human melanocortin-4 receptor (hMC4R) has a critical role in part of energy homeostasis, and their heterozygous mutations related in genetic cause of severe human obesity. In order to study the structure and function of these membrane proteins, it is important to prepare the samples. However, the preparation of transmembrane peptide is seriously difficult and time-consuming. Overexpression and purification of membrane proteins was reported to be difficult due to their innate insoluble and toxic properties. Among the many difficulties, the most important is the difficulty in obtaining sufficient quantities of purified protein. Recently, we succeed to produce large amounts of the second transmembrane domain from the wild-type hMC4R (wt-TM2) and D90N mutant hMC4R (m-TM2) and proposed the structural difference of them in membrane-like environments. In this paper, we demonstrate the optimization procedures to express and purify wt-TM2 or m-TM2 peptides, and solution NMR studies in different detergents to get high-resolution spectra were also described.

  • 씻어나온 쌀(무세미) 생산공정 중 발생하는 쌀뜨물 중 함유된 유효성분, 특히 단백질 회수를 위한 분리막 공정에 관하여 검토하였다. 먼저 dead-end형 Amicon 여과셀을 이용하여 단백질 농축에 적절한 분리막을 선정하였으며 이를 토대로 중공사형 한외여과 모듈 또는 가정용 정수기에 사용되는 나권형 나노여과 및 역삼투 모듈을 이용한 투과실험을 행하였다. 그 결과, 분획분자량이 10,000 dalton인 한외여과막은 쌀뜨물내 유효성분 내지는 단백q질을 농축하기에 적절하지 않았다. 그러나 역삼투 또는 나노여과 모듈에 9% 가량의 단백질이 함유된 원료용액을 250%까지 농축할 경우, 역삼투 모듈 농축액중에 단백질의 농도는 22%로서 약 2.4배가 농축되었으며 나노여과 모듈의 경우는 약 2배까지 단백질을 농축할 수 있었다.

  • Recombinant Escherichia coli displaying organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) was used to overcome the diffusion barrier limitation of organophosphorus pesticides. A new anchor system derived from the N-terminal domain of ice-nucleation protein from Pseudomonas syringae InaV (InaV-N) was used to display OPH onto the surface. The designed sequence was cloned in the vector pET-28a(+) and then was expressed in E. coli. Tracing of the expression location of the recombinant protein using SDS-PAGE showed the presentation of OPH by InaV-N on the outer membrane, and the ability of recombinant E. coli to utilize diazinon as the sole source of energy, without growth inhibition, indicated its significant activity. The location of OPH was detected by comparing the activity of the outer membrane fraction with the inner membrane and cytoplasm fractions. Studies revealed that recombinant E. coli can degrade 50% of 2 mM chlorpyrifos in 2 min. It can be concluded that InaV-N can be used efficiently to display foreign functional protein, and these results highlight the high potential of an engineered bacterium to be used in bioremediation of pesticide-contaminated sources in the environment.
