  • The presence of cross-reacting muramidase in Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus ULl2 was shown by using monoclonal antibodies raised against an muramidase-2 of Enterococcus hirae ATCC 9790. The separation of protein by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by Western immunoblot confirmed the presence of one cross-reacting band in Enterococcus hirae with an estimated molecular mass of 80 kDa, L. bulgaricus cultured cells harvested after 4 and 12 h were submitted to different autolysin releasing procedures and the liberated products were allowed to cross-react with muramidase-2 antibodies in order to estimate the efficiency of each treatment. Although the cultured cells harvested after 4 h yielded only a slight immune-reaction in Western immunoblots against these enzyme monoclonal antibodies, a strong signal was observed for the cell walls obtained from the same experimental conditions and treated with Triton X-100 surfactant. The same phenomenon was also observed by light fluorescence microscopy. Immune-labelling followed by optical and electron microscopy have shown that the muramidase-2 of L. bulgaricus ULl2 was essentially localized in the innermost part of the cell wall.(omitted)

  • In this study, we have purified and characterized the membrane bound nitrate reductase obtained from the denitrifying bacteria, Ochrobactrum anthropi SY509, which was isolated from soil samples. O. anthropi SY509 can grow in minimal medium using nitrate as a nitrogen source. We achieved an overall purification rate of 15-fold from the protein extracted from the membrane fraction, with a recovery of approximately 12% of activity. The enzyme exhibited its highest level of activity at pH 5.5, and the activity was increased up to $70^{\circ}C$. Periplasmic and cytochromic proteins, including nitrite and nitrous oxide reductase, were excluded during centrifugation and were verified using enzyme essay. Reduced methyl viologen was determined to be the most efficient electron donor among a variety of anionic and cationic dyestuffs, which could be also used as an electron donor with dimethyl dithionite. The effects of purification and storage conditions on the stability of enzyme were also investigated. The activity of the membranebound nitrate reductase was stably maintained for over 2 weeks in solution. To maintain the stability of enzyme, the cell was disrupted using sonication at low temperatures, and enzyme was extracted by hot water without any surfactant. The purified enzyme was stored in solution with no salt to prevent any significant losses in activity levels.

  • Lysozyme 수용액으로부터 역미셀을 이용한 Lysozyme 추출공정에서 주요변수인 pH, 이온강도, AOT 농도, 추출시간 등을 실험을 통하여 연구하였으며, 미셀내의 수분함량과 lysozyme 농도는 비례관계임을 KCl 농도변화에 따른 결과로서 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에 사용된 lysozyme의 등전점이 약 11.2로 음이온 계면활성제를 사용할 경우 추출공정에 유리함을 알 수 있었고, 추출공정(forward extraction)에서의 최적조건은 pH 6-9일 때, 그리고 0.1 M 염농도와 50 mM이하의 AOT 농도에서 가장 높은 lysozyme 추출 효율을 얻을 수 있었다. 그리고 역추출(back extraction)에서는 pH 12이상, 1M 염농도에서 Lysozyme의 가장 높은 추출 효율을 나타내었다.

  • 양이온 계변활성제의 역미셀을 이용하여 단백질을 선택적으로 분리할 수 있는 분리조건을 밝히기 위해서 분자량과 등전점이 다른 여러 단백질의 용해에 미치는 pH, 이온 및 강도, 계면활성제의 종류 등 system para-meter 틀에 대해 연구 검토하였다. 등전점이 낮은 pepSIn 은 pH 5-7 이상에서, 등전점이 높은 ribotluclease-a 나 lisozym$\xi$은 pH 11-12 이상에서 용해되어 단백질이 계면 활성제의 (+)전하와 반대전하언 (-)를 띠는 등전점 이상의 pH영역에서 용해가 가능하였다. KCI을 이용하여 이온강도를 증가시킴에 따라 단백질의 용해 정도는 전반적으로 감소하였다. 친수성부분은 동일하나 소수성 무분이 다콘 양이온계면활성제 CTAB, DDAB, TOMAC 을 이용하여 역미셀제를 변화시켰을 때, 소수성 탄화수 소사슬이 3개 인 TOMAC(Wo=5) 이 탄화수소사슬이 1개인 CTAB(Wo=28)와 2개인 DDAB(Wo=7-12)에 비해 작은 역셀을 형성하여 낮은 용해 정도플 보였 다. 찬은 DDAB에 대해서도 유기용매의 종류에 따라 W Wo가 달랐는데 benzene(Wo=7)에 비하여 t$\xi$trachloro-ethylene (Wo= 12)이 보다 큰 역미젤을 형성하고 용해 능력도 높았다.

  • Objective: Specific promoters could improve efficiency and ensure the safety of gene therapy. The aim of our study was to screen examples for lung cancer. Methods: The firefly luciferase gene was used as a reporter, and promoters based on serum markers of lung cancer were cloned. The activity and specificity of seven promoters, comprising CEACAM5 (carcinoembryonic antigen, CEA), GRP (Gastrin-Releasing Peptide), KRT19 (cytokeratin 19, KRT), SFTPB (surfactant protein B, SP-B), SERPINB3 (Squamous Cell Carcinoma Antigen, SCCA), SELP (Selectin P, Granule Membrane Protein 140kDa, Antigen CD62, GMP) and DKK1 (Dickkopf-1) promoters were compared in lung cancer cells to obtain cancer-specific examples with strong activity. Results: The CEACAM5, DKK1, GRP, SELP, KRT19, SERPINB3 and SFTPB promoters were cloned. Furthermore, we successfully constructed recombinant vector pGL-CEACAM5 (DKK1, GRP, SELP, KRT19, SERPINB3 and SFTPB) contained the target gene. After cells were transfectedwith recombinant plasmids, we found that the order of promoter activity from high to low was SERPINB3, DKK1, SFTPB, KRT19, CEACAM5, SELP and GRP and the order for promoters regarding specificity and high potential were SERPINB3, DKK1, SELP, SFTPB, CEACAM5, KRT19 and GRP. Conclusion: The approach adopted is feasible to screen for new tumour specific promoters with biomarkers. In addition, the screened lung-specific promoters might have potential for use in lung cancer targeted gene therapy research.

  • The effects of the nonionic surfactant Tween 80 and a mixture of fibrolytic enzymes on total tract digestion, in situ disappearance (ISD) and ruminal fermentation characteristics of orchardgrass hay and barley grain were investigated in a 4${\times}$4 Latin square experiment with 4 non-lactating Holstein cows and 4 diets in 4 periods. Cows were offered a total mixed ration of 50% rolled barley grain and 50% orchardgrass hay treated with either 1) water (control), 2) 0.2% (vol/wt) Tween 80, 3) 0.2% (vol/wt) hydrolytic enzyme, or 4) 0.2% hydrolytic enzyme plus 0.2% Tween 80. Total tract digestibility coefficients of DM, nitrogen, NDF and ADF were not affected (p>0.05) by dietary treatment. Compared to the control, the rate of ISD of DM from orchardgrass hay was faster (p<0.05) in cows receiving diets treated with the enzyme alone or with enzyme plus Tween 80 (0.06/h vs. 0.076 and 0.069/h). The rate of digestion was lower (p<0.05) as compared to control when barley grain was treated with these additives. Ruminal fluid pH and concentrations of total VFA, acetate, isobutyrate and butyrate were not affected (p>0.05) by treatments. Cows that consumed diets treated with enzyme plus Tween 80 had higher (p<0.05) ruminal concentrations of propionate and isovalerate, and lower (p<0.05) acetate:propionate ratios. Compared to the control, microbial protein synthesis tended (p = 0.13) to increase with the addition of enzyme to the diet while nonammonia nitrogen flow to the duodenum increased (p<0.05) with both enzyme and Tween 80 treatments. The study indicated that fibrolytic enzymes alone or in combination with Tween 80 could enhance ISD of orchardgrass hay and ruminal concentrations of propionate, valerate and iso-valerate, but do not affect total tract digestibility.

  • Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)이 폴리술폰 한외여과 막, 술폰화된 폴리에테르술폰, 폴리아미드 나노 막 위에 코팅된 나노 복합막을 가압법에 의해서 제조되었다. PVA는 글루터알데하이드 수용액으로 가교되었다. 모든 지지층위에 PVA 희박용액이 성공적으로 코팅되어 나노복합막이 제조되었다. 지지막 위의 친수화도가 높아짐에 따라 수투과 유량이 증가하였다. 특히 음하전을 띠는 폴리아미드 나노 복합막의 제타전위는 PVA로 코팅함으로서 감소되었다. 막 오염 실험은 양이온을 띠는 계면활성제, 휴민산, 휴민산과 칼슘이온 복합체 및 bovine serum albumin을 사용하여 실행하였다. PVA로 코팅되지 않은 폴리아미드 나노복합막은 각각의 오염물질에 의해서 심하게 오염되었다. 휴민산과 단백질에 의한 오염은 오염물질의 등전점에서 가장 심하게 발생하였다. 휴민산에 이가 양이온을 첨가함으로서 오염이 심각하게 일어났다. PVA 수용액으로 폴리아미드 나노 복합막을 코팅함으로서 막 오염이 감소되었다. PVA로 코팅된 폴리아미드 나노 복합막은 산, 염기용액에 대해 저항성을 보였다.

  • 연구배경 : 장기간 흡연을 하는 사람의 10-20%에서만 COPD가 발생한다는 사실은 COPD의 발생에 유전적 인자가 관여함을 시사한다. 최근 surfactant protein A가, COPD의 병인에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 알려진 MMP-9의 분비를 TLR2를 통해 증가시킨다고. 그러므로 COPD의 병인에 TLR2이 역할을 할 수 있을 것이라는 가정 아래, TLR2 유전자의 intron II에 존재하는 Guanine-Thymine (GT)의 반복으로 이루어진 유전자다형성과 한국인에서의 COPD의 발생과의 연관성을 규명하고자 하였다. 방 법 : 흡연력이 있는 남자 COPD 환자와 정상 폐기능을 보이는 남자 흡연자를 대상으로 하여, TLR2 유전자의 intron II의 GT 반복횟수를 확인하였다. 그 GT 반복이 3상성의 분포를 보여 이들을 다시 세 개의 맞섬 유전자 아형으로 분류하여 분석하였다. (12-16회 GT 반복: 짧은 아형; 17-22회 반복: 중간 아형; 23-27회 반복: 긴 아형) 결 과 : 각각의 맞섬유전자 아형의 분포는 125명의 COPD군과 144명의 대조군 사이에 유의한 차이는 없었다(P=0.75). 또한 각각의 맞섬유전자 아형의 유무에 따른 유전형의 빈도도 두 군간의 차이는 관찰할 수 없었다. 결 론 : TLR2 유전자의 intron II에 존재하는 GT 반복으로 이루어진 유전자다형성은 한국인에서 COPD의 발생과 연관되어 있지 않다.

  • Purpose: Although procalcitonin (PCT) level is useful for the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis, PCT reliability is inconsistent because of the varied conditions encountered in neonatal intensive care units. This study aimed to investigate PCT levels and factors influencing increased PCT levelin newborns without bacterial infection during the first week of life. Methods: In newborns hospitalized between March 2013 and October 2015, PCT levels were measured on the first, third, and seventh days after birth. Newborns with proven bacterial (blood culture positive for bacteria) or suspicious infection (presence of C-reactive protein expression or leukocytosis/leukopenia) were excluded. Various neonatal conditions were analyzed to identify the factors influencing increased PCT level. Results: Among 292 newborns with a gestational age of $35.2{\pm}3.0$ weeks and a birth weight of $2,428{\pm}643g$, preterm newborns (n=212) had higher PCT levels than term newborns (n=80). Of the newborns, 7.9% had increased PCT level (23 of 292) on the firstday; 28.3% (81 of 286), on the third day; and 3.3% (7 of 121), on the seventh day after birth. The increased PCT level was significantly associated with prenatal disuse of antibiotics (P=0.004) and surfactant administration (P<0.001) on the first day after birth, postnatal use of antibiotics (P=0.001) and ventilator application (P=0.001) on the third day after birth, and very low birth weight (P=0.042) on the seventh day after birth. Conclusion: In newborns without bacterial infection, increased PCT level was significantly associated with lower gestational age and respiratory difficulty during the first week of life. Further studies are needed for clinical applications.

  • 미셀 집합체들이 수용액에 존재하는 혼합물로부터 아미노산, 단백질, 그리고 효소와 같은 생물학적 물질의 선돼적인 추출에 유용하게 샤용될 수 있음은 널리 알려져 있다. 본 연 구에서는 가용화 과정에 영향을 미치는 변수들을 확인하기 위하여 AOT와 iso-octane의 유기상에서의 $\alpha$-chymotrypsin 가 용화에 대하여 pH의 영향, 염의 종류와 염의 농도의 영향을 연구하였다. NaCI과 KCI에 대하여서는 pH=5.0에서 최대 효 율을 나타내며, $MgCl_2$$CaCl_2$ 에 대해서는 pH=7.0에서 최대 효율을 나타내었는데 이와 같은 조건은 모두 $\alpha$-chymo$\sigma$ypsin 의 둥전점 이하 영역이다. 낮은 pH에서는 계변에 단백질이 광범위하게 침전되거나 엉킴현상이 나타나기 때문에 유기상 에서의 단백질 농도를 직접 측정하여 실험오차를 줄였다. 미 셀의 water po이 크기는 물에 대한 계면활성제의 몰 비(Wo) 를 측정하여 추산하였다 .. 1: 1염인 NaCI과 KCI에 대하여 w。 값은 각각 30과 19로 거의 일정하고 $MgCl_2$$CaCl_2$ 의 1:2염 에 대하여서는 1: 1염의 Wo값보다 훨씬 작은 5 이하의 값을 나타내었다
