The effects of various packaging systems, vacuum packaging (VACP), medium oxygen-modified atmosphere packaging (50% $O_2/20%$ $CO_2/30%$ $N_2$, MOMAP), MOMAP combined with vacuum skin packaging (VSP-MOMAP), high oxygen-MAP (80% $O_2/20%$ $CO_2/30%$ $N_2$, HOMAP), and HOMAP combined with VSP (VSP-HOMAP), on the activity of antioxidant enzyme, and oxidation and color stabilities in sliced Hanwoo (Korean cattle) beef loin were investigated at $4^{\circ}C$ for 14 d. Higher (p<0.05) superoxide dismutase activity and total reducing ability were maintained in VSP-MOMAP beef than in HOMAP beef. Lipid oxidation (2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, TBARS) was significantly (p<0.05) retarded in MOMAP, VSP-MOMAP, and VSP-HOMAP beef compared with HOMAP beef. Production of nonheme iron content was lower (p<0.05) in VSP-MOMAP beef than in HOMAP beef. Red color ($a^*$) was kept higher (p<0.05) in VSP-MOMAP beef compared with MOMAP, HOMAP, and VSP-HOMAP beef. However, VACP beef was found to have the most positive effects on the antioxidant activity, oxidation and red color stabilities among the various packaged beef. These findings suggested that VSP-MOMAP was second to VACP in improving oxidation and color stabilities in sliced beef loin during chill storage.

4-히드록시스티릴피리딘과 4-비닐벤질클로리드를 반응시켜 감광성 단량체로서 비닐벤질옥 시스티릴피리딘 (VSP)을 합성하였다. 5-20 mo1%의 VSP를 로진 moiety를 함유하는 메타크릴단량체와 라디칼 공중합하여 로진 moiety를 함유하는 몇가지 광경화성 고분자를 합성하였다. UV분광법으로 결정한 공중합체 중의 VSP의 함량은 5.3-17.3mol%정도였다. 이들 고분자의 수평균 분자량은 18000-28000정도였고 다분산지수는 1.8 정도였으며, 또한 유리전이온도는 15$0^{\circ}C$ 부근이였고 초기 열분해온도는 34$0^{\circ}C$ 정도였다. 이들 고분자는 자외선에 의해 비교적 빠르게 경화되었고, 이 광경화 반응은 UV분광법과 잔막수율법으로 분석될 수 있었다.

최근에 Ciona intestinalis에서 확인된 막 전위 감지 탈인산화 효소는 이온 채널과 유사한 막 통과 도메인과 유사 탈인산화 효소 도메인으로 이루어져 있다. 이 Ci-VSP는 그 막 통과 도메인에 의해 막 전위 변화를 감지하고 유사 탈인산화 효소에 의해 인산화된 이노시틸 인지질들에 대한 탈인산화 활성을 보이는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 6개의 히스티딘이 융합된 Ci-VSP의 유사 탈인산화 효소 도메인의 발현 시스템 구축을 추구하였다. 그래서 본 논문은 그 시스템의 구축과 발현 그리고 정제 조건 확립, 마지막으로 그 효소 동력학적인 활성을 pNPP에 대한 검토한 결과를 보고한다. 본 연구 결과에 따르면 Ci-VSP(248-576)-His 단백질 발현 및 정제시에 다른 단백질들의 정제 조건과 다르게 25 mM NaCl과 100 mM 정도의 이미다졸이 필요함을 확인하였다. 정제된 단백질을 가지고 탈인산화 효소의 대표적인 기질인 pNPP를 이용하여 그 동력학적인 상수 측정을 시도한 결과 정상 상태 동력학 측정 조건으로 온도 $37^{\circ}C$, pH 5.0 내지 5.5, 반응 시간 30분 이내, 반응 단백질 양 $2.0\;{\mu}g$ 이내가 적합하다는 점을 알게 되었다. 이러한 확립된 조건을 토대로 pNPP에 대한 동력학적 상수를 측정한 결과 $K_m$ 값은 $354{\pm}0.143\;{\mu}M$이며 $V_{max}$는 $0.0607{\pm}0.0137\;{\mu}mol$/min/mg이며 $k_{cat}$ 값은 $2.359{\pm}0.009751\;min^{-1}$인 것으로 확인되었다. 이를 통해 본 연구는 Ci-VSP(248-576)-His의 순도 높은 정제 결과와 pNPP에 대한 높은 활성 보임을 제시하였다. 이러한 연구 결과를 통해 향후 Ci-VSP에 대한 구조적인 연구 등을 포함하는 다양한 생화학적인 연구가 수행되리라 본다.

Symbiotic nitrogen fixation with nitrogen-fixing bacteria in the root nodules is a distinctly beneficial metabolic process in legume plants. Legumes control the nodule number and nodulation zone through a systemic negative regulatory system between shoot and root. Mutation in the soybean NTS gene encoding GmNARK, a CLAVATA1-like serine/threonine receptor-like kinase, causes excessive nodule development called hypernodulation. To examine the effect of nts mutation on the gene expression profile in the leaves, suppression subtractive hybridization was performed with the trifoliate leaves of nts mutant 'SS2-2' and the wild-type (WT) parent 'Sinpaldalkong2', and 75 EST clones that were highly expressed in the leaves of the SS2-2 mutant were identified. Interestingly, the expression of jasmonate (JA)-responsive genes such as vspA, vspB, and Lox2 were upregulated, whereas that of a salicylate-responsive gene PR1a was suppressed in the SS2-2 mutant. In addition, the level of JA was about two-fold higher in the leaves of the SS2-2 mutant than in those of the WT under natural growth conditions. Moreover, the JA-responsive gene expression persists in the leaves of SS2-2 mutant without rhizobia infection in the roots. Taken together, our results suggest that the nts mutation increases JA synthesis in mature leaves and consequently leads to constitutive expression of JA-responsive genes which is irrelevant to hypernodulation in the root.

The effects of media composition on citric acid fermentation using surface immobilized Saccharomycopsis lipolytica were studied. The use of the standard medium for these organisms resulted in rapid decrease of citric acid production and a transformation of immobilized cell morphologies from a yeast-type to a mycelium-type. When the standard medium was enriched with vitamins, trace minerals, a growth factor and ammonium to form a Vigorous Stationary Phase (VSP) fermentation type medium, relatively stable citric acid production (10 mg/lㆍh) was obtained. Using the VSP type medium, the surface immobilized cells also retained their yeast-type form.

This study was conducted to evaluate the usefulness of Second-Heat-Seal film(SHS) as an alternative material to PVDC/EVA shrink film(VSP) being currently used by domestic meat packer for vacuum-packaging of fresh meat. The samples from pork loin and beef striploin and round were stored at 2$^{circ}C$ for 5 weeks and measured for the changes of microbial counts, color, pH, volatile basic nitrogen(VBN), purge loss and sensory parameters. The pork loins packed with SHS showed higher spermine contents during the whole storage period at 2$^{circ}C$, and lower counts in total microbes and lactic acid bacteria after 28 days storage at 2$^{circ}C$ than those packed with SHS tended to be lower than those packed with VSP over the storage time. Nevertheless, no significant differences were observed between two packaging treatments in the other quality parameters evaluated. It is therefore concluded that SHS film might have a possibility to substitute for VSP film for vacuum-packaging of fresh meat at least from a materials point of view.

The objective of this study was to investigate comparison of physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory characteristics of Hanwoo eye of round by various packaging methods [wrapped packaging (WP), modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), vacuum packaging (VP) with three different vacuum films, and vacuum skin packaging (VSP)] at a small scale. Packaged Hanwoo beef samples were stored in refrigerated conditions ($4{\pm}1^{\circ}C$) for 28 days. Packaged beef was sampled on days 0, 7, 14, 21, and 28. Physicochemical [pH, surface color, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) values], microbiological, and sensory analysis of packaged beef samples were performed. VP and VSP samples showed low TBARS and VBN values, and pH and surface color did not change substantially during the 28-day period. For VSP, total viable bacteria, psychrotrophic bacteria, lactic acid bacteria, and coliform counts were lower than those for other packaging systems. Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli O157:H7 were not detected in any packaged beef samples. A sensory analysis showed that the scores for appearance, flavor, color, and overall acceptability did not change significantly until day 7. In total, VSP was effective with respect to significantly higher $a^*$ values, physicochemical stability, and microbial safety in Hanwoo packaging (p<0.05).

Voltage-gated $Ca^{2+}$ ($Ca_V$) channels are dynamically modulated by Gprotein-coupled receptors (GPCR). The $M_1$ muscarinic receptor stimulation is known to enhance $Ca_V2.3$ channel gating through the activation of protein kinase C (PKC). Here, we found that $M_1$ receptors also inhibit $Ca_V2.3$ currents when the channels are fully activated by PKC. In whole-cell configuration, the application of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA), a PKC activator, potentiated $Ca_V2.3$ currents by ~two-fold. After the PMA-induced potentiation, stimulation of $M_1$ receptors decreased the $Ca_V2.3$ currents by $52{\pm}8%$. We examined whether the depletion of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate ($PI(4,5)P_2$) is responsible for the muscarinic suppression of $Ca_V2.3$ currents by using two methods: the Danio rerio voltage-sensing phosphatase (Dr-VSP) system and the rapamycin-induced translocatable pseudojanin (PJ) system. First, dephosphorylation of $PI(4,5)P_2$ to phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI(4)P) by Dr-VSP significantly suppressed $Ca_V2.3$ currents, by $53{\pm}3%$. Next, dephosphorylation of both PI(4)P and $PI(4,5)P_2$ to PI by PJ translocation further decreased the current by up to $66{\pm}3%$. The results suggest that $Ca_V2.3$ currents are modulated by the $M_1$ receptor in a dual mode-that is, potentiation through the activation of PKC and suppression by the depletion of membrane $PI(4,5)P_2$. Our results also suggest that there is rapid turnover between PI(4)P and $PI(4,5)P_2$ in the plasma membrane.

본 연구에서는 단열열량계의 일종인 폭발열량 측정장치를 이용하여 레졸수지 합성반응에서 온도조절 물질이 열폭주 특성에 미치는 영향을 평가하고, 반응열과 활성화에너지 등의 속도론적 데이터를 검토하였다. 그 결과, 온도조절 물질이 투입된 낮은 고형분 농도에서는 폭주반응의 격렬함을 나타내는 순간 특성치들이 감소했다. 그러나 투입된 온도조절 물질의 갑작스런 소실은 급격한 2차 폭주반응을 촉발시켰다. 이때, 레졸수지 합성반응의 폭주반응에 의한 반응열은 페놀을 기준으로 약 157 kJ/mol이었고, 활성화에너지는 약 60 kJ/mol로 나타났다.
