피혁제조시 발생되는 크롬을 함유한 피혁 고형폐기물인 shaving scrap의 단백질 자원화 가능성을 검토하기 위하여 MgO를 기본으로 하여 alkaline inducing agents 및 alkaline proteolytic enzymes을 혼용처리하여 shaving scrap으로 부터 회수한 가수분해 단백질의 용해도, 무기성분 함량, 분자량분포 등을 비교 검토함으로서 최적 가수분해 조건 및 액체비료의 원료로 활용하기 위한 저분자 단백질의 회수방안을 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. Alkaline inducing agents의 혼용처리에 의한 shaving scrap의 가수분해 실험결과 7% MgO를 기본으로 하여 alkaline inducing agents 종류에 따라 65~85% 범위로 용해도 차이가 뚜렷하였으며, 가수분해되는 정도는 NaOH>$Ca(OH)_2$>KOH순으로 나타났으며, 획득된 hydrolyzed protein의 평균분자량은 NaOH처리시 약 10 KD, $Ca(OH)_2$ 처리시 약 40 KD, KOH처리시 약 80 KD이었으며, 크롬함유량은 약 15 ppm이었다. Alkaline proteolytic enzymes의 혼용처리에 의한 shaving scrap의 가수분해 실험결과 alkaline proteolytic enzymes 종류에 따라 Alcalase>Esperase>Savinase순으로 용해도 차이를 보였으며, 0.5% Alcalase의 처리에 의해 용해도 85%수준, 평균분자량 1 KD 미만, 크롬 함유량 10ppm 이하인 저분자 형태의 hydrolyzed protein을 획득할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 유단백질에 단백질 분해효소를 처리하여 가수분해 후 저분자 peptide를 ABTS법을 이용하여 항산화 활성을 측정하여 유단백질 유래 저분자 peptide의 항산화력을 측정하고자 하였다. Chymotrypsin 처리한 유청단백질의 가수분해도가 가장 높았으며, 유청단백질의 락트알부민 및 락토글로브린이 분해되어 분자량 20 kDa 이하의 저분자 단백질이 생성된 것을 전기영동을 통하여 확인하였다. 유단백질의 농도에 따른 항산화 활성을 측정한 결과, 카제인의 항산화 활성이 유청단백질보다 높게 나타났다. 유단백질을 효소에 의하여 가수분해 시 항산화 활성이 증가하였으며, 카제인 가수분해물이 유청단백질 가수분해물과 비교하여 항산화 활성이 더 높았으나, 가수분해도와 항산화 활성도의 관계는 일치하지 않았다. Trypsin에 의한 카제인 가수분해 물의 항산화 활성이 80.7%로 가장 높았다. 본 연구에서는 chymotrypsin과 trypsin에 의한 분자량 3 kDa의 카제인 분획물의 항산화 활성이 가장 우수 하였으며, 유청단백질을 trypsin으로 분해하였을 때 항산화 활성이 증가하였다.

In an effort to develop a new therapeutic strategy for human gene therapy of solid ovarian tumor, we studied the expression of the p53 tumor suppressor Sene as well as regulatory subunits of cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase in human ovarian carcinoma cells. Four cell lines (2774, Caov-3, SK-OV-3 and OVCAR-3) were selected for the analyses. The p53 transcript and protein were detected only in the 2774 cell line by Northern and Western Bnalysis. In the relatively fast growing cell line, SK-OV-3, the %rope 1 a regulstorv subunit (RIA of CAMP-dependent protein kinase was the highest among the four cell lines. The expression level of $RII\beta$ protein was low in the four cell lines examined. These results maw point to a direction to select the target gene(sl to be employed for gene therapy to control the ovarian cancer.

Synthetic color additives approved for general food use are sixteen in European Union, seven in U. S. A. and twelve in Japan. Twelve food dyes were examined for their inhibitory potency against human protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases). Half of the food colorants inhibited PTPases significantly and three of them were potent inhibitors with low micromolar IC50 values. Also examined were the synthetic dyes structurally similar but not allowed in food. Some of them were potent inhibitors of PTPases. Considering the importance of PTPases in cellular signal transduction, inhibition of PTPases by food colorants might cause harmful effects in human health.

Pulmonary surfactant is a lipoprotein complex composed primarily of phospholipid and lungspecific apoproteins that reduces surface tension in the alveolus and maintains alveolar stability at low lung volume. Three families of lung-specific apoproteins have been described: SP-A, a glycoprotein with a reduced molecular weight of 28~36 KDa. SP-B a hydrophobic protein with a nonreduced molecular weight of 18 KDa, and SP-C a hydrophobic protein with a non-reduced molecular weight of 5~8 KDa. Surfactant proteins have important roles in regulating surfactant metabolism as well as in determining its physical properties. The synthesis of the active surfactant peptides appears to be modulated by system with considerable complexity, including numerous levels of regulation such as cell-specific, hormonal and developmental controls. Endotoxin appears to alter surfactant protein mRNAs differentially. It is hoped that the elucidation of the factors controlling the synthesis and metabolism of the surfactant proteins will aid in understanding the pathogenesis of hyaline membrane disease and offer new avenues for the therapy and diagnosis of ther pulmonary disorders as well.

Post-transcriptional regulation of mRNA stability by Hu proteins is an important mechanism for tumorigenesis. We focused on the molecular interactions between the HuC protein and AU-rich elements (AREs) to find chemical inhibitors of RNA-protein interactions using RNA electrophoretic mobility shift assay with non-radioactive probes. Screening of 52 natural compounds identified 14 candidate compounds that displayed potent inhibitory activity. Six (quercetin, myricetin, (-)-epigallocatechin gallate, ellagic acid, (-)-epicatechin gallate, and rhamnetin) were categorized as phytochemicals, and their $IC_{50}$ values were low ($0.2-1.8\;{\mu}M$).

Metallothioneins are a group of low molecular mass and cysteine-rich metal-binding proteins, ubiquitously found in most living organisms. They play an important role in maintaining intracellular metal homeostasis, eliminating metal toxification and protecting against intracellular oxidative damages. Analysis of complete rice genome sequences revealed eleven genes encoding putative metallothionein (OsMT), indicating that OsMTs constitute a small gene family in rice. Expression profiling revealed that each member of the OsMT gene family differs not only in sequence but also in their tissue expression patterns, suggesting that these isoforms may have different functions they perform in specific tissues. On the basis of OsMT structural and phylogenetic analysis, the OsMT family was classified as two classes and class I was subdivided into four types. Additionally, in this paper we also present a complete overview of this family, describing the gene structure, genome localization, upstream regulatory element, and exon/intron organization of each member in order to provide valuable insight into this OsMT gene family.

Low molecular weight phosphotyrosine protein phosphatase (LMW-PTP) has been implicated in modulating the EphB1-mediated signaling pathway. In this study, we demonstrated that the EphA8 receptor phosphorylates LMW-PTP in vitro. In addition, we discovered that mixing these two proteins leads to EphA8 dephosphorylation in the absence of phosphatase inhibitors. Finally, we demonstrated that LMW-PTP, modified by the EphA8 autokinase activity, possesses enhanced catalytic activity in vitro. These results suggest that LMW-PTP may also participate in a feedback-control mechanism of the EphA8 receptor autokinase activity in vivo.

This study relates to low and medium molecular weight isoflavone-${\beta}$-D-glucan produced by submerged liquid culture of Agaricus blazei, a method of producing the isoflavone-B-D-glucan using autolysis enzyme of Agaricus blazei mycelia, and use of the isoflavone-B-D-glucan for anti-cancer and immunoenhancing effect. In acordance with one aspect of the present study, it deals with a method of producing isoflavone-${\beta}$-D-glucan, which comprises the followings; 1) culturing and separating mushroom mycelia, 2) producing low-medium molecular weight isoflavone-${\beta}$-D-glucan from high molecular weight one. The cytotoxicity on human cnacer cell line (Caco-2, MCF-7), the expression of Cyclin D, Bcl-2, Bax protein, p21 protein, p53 protein in MCF-7 cells assessed by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotting, and other immuno related factors such as TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-1B activities were examined. Structural identification of isoflavone-${\beta}$-D-glucan which showed cytotoxicity against cancer cell and immunoenhancing effects was carried by separation with DEAE-cellulose column chromatography, TLC, HPLC, IR, NMR. Clinical test for the cancer patients (n=119) for 6 month was carried out, and immunoenhancing factors (NK. cell number, ratio of T4/T8) were checked. We concluded the identified isoflavone-${\beta}$-D-glucan has immuno enhancing effects and could be useful for cancer chemoprevention.
