S. fradiae exhibited the highest acetanilide p-hydroxylation activity among the Streptomyces spp. screened. Studies with inhibitors (metyrapone, 2. 6-dichloroindophenol, $\alpha,\alpha'$-dipyridyl, o-phenanthroline) and an absorption peak after CO treatment suggested that S. fradiae hydroxylase activity was due to cytochrome p-450. This hydroxylase activity was increased to ten times in the cell extract containing 0.5 mM sodium azide. Furthermore, the sedimentary activity in $105,000\times{g}$ centrifugal forces and solubilization of the activity with Triton-X 100 implied that this enzyme was membrane bound monooxygenase. pH Optimum of the enzyme was 6.5 in membrane bound state.

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.

본 실험은 넙치 (Paralichthys olivaceus) 간으로부터 membrane부분에 존재하는 PC 가수분해 효소의 특성에 대해 조사하였다. 먼저 간 조직을 초고속 원심 분리기와 nonion-detergent인 1% triton X - 100을 이용하여 membrane 부분을 분리하였으며, Heprain-Sepharose CL-6B 칼럼과 Heparin-5PW 칼럼을 이용하여 분리정제 하였다. 얻어진 PC 가수분해효소에 대한 반응 ․ 생성물을 확인하기 위해 autoradiography를 실시하였다. 지용성 부분의 결과에서 transphosphatidylation 반응의 결과물인 PEtOH을 형성하는 것으로 보아 PC-PLD임을 알 수 있었다. 얻어진 PC 가수분해효소에 대한 생화학적 특성을 조사한 결과 적정 pH가 6.5이하인 산성 조건 및 $37^\circ{C}$의 배양온도에서 최고 활성을 나타내었으며, 이가 이온들에 대한 영향의 경우 칼슘은 1.67mM 농도에서 최고 활성을 나타냈으나, 마그네슘은 활성에 영향을 미치지 않았다. 각종 세포막 기질에 대한 영향을 조사한 결과 PC는 $0.75\mu{M}$, PIP2는 $2.35\mu{M}$, PE는 $26.8\mu{M}$ 농도에서 최고 활성을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과부터 넙치 간조직의 막층부분에 존재하는 PC를 가수분해효소는 PC-PLD가 존재함을 알 수 있었다.

Effects of panaxydol, panaxynol and panaxytriol isolated from Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer on some enzyme activities were determined. Activities of ATPase, membrane-bound enzyme from Sarcoma 180 and rat liver were slightly inhibited by panaxydol. Activities of 5'-nucleotidase, membrane-bound enzyme and succinate cytochrome c reductase in mitochonidria from sarcoma 180 and rat livers were significantly inhibited in a dose-dependent manner by panaxynol. The inhibitory effects of panaxydol and panaxynol on succinate cytochrome c reductase activities were more potent than those on 5'-nucleotidase activities and panaxynol was found to be a very potent inhibitor of succinate cytochrome c reductase. Activities of glucose-6-phosphatase in endoplasmic reticulum from Sarcoma 180 and rat livers were not affected by all three polyacetylenes. These results suggested that the inhibitory effects of panaxydol and panaxynol on enzyme activities might contribute to their biological activities.

Membranes obtained from the normal human RBC population were separated by continuous sucrose density gradient centrifugation and the density-fractionated membranes were then examined for changes in molecular markers. This study focuses on changes of (i) the membrane protein profile, (ii) differences in membrane-associsted enzyme activities, and (iii) the amount of autologous IgG bound. The following observations were made: (i) ratios for band 4. la over the sum of bands (4. la + 4.Ib) ranged from 0.58 to 0.79 for membranes of lowest density; (ii) significant changes in bound glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and acetvlcholinesterase activities were found; (iii) the amounts of autolosous IgG's attached to the red blood cells was highest in the membrane fraction of lowest density.

Human tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFa) is a key pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by activated monocytes and macrophage as a part of the self-defence machinery. TNF-a converting enzyme (TACE) is the metalloproteinase that processes the membrane bound precursor of TNFa to the soluble component. (omitted)

The aim of this study was to provide new insight into the mechanism whereby the housekeeping enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) locates to cell walls of Lactobacillus plantarum 299v. After purification, cytosolic and cell wall GAPDH (cw-GAPDH) forms were characterized and shown to be identical homotetrameric active enzymes. GAPDH concentration on cell walls was growth-time dependent. Free GAPDH was not observed on the culture supernatant at any time during growth, and provoked cell lysis was not concomitant with any reassociation of GAPDH onto the cell surface. Hence, with the possibility of cw-GAPDH resulting from autolysis being unlikely, entrapment of intracellular GAPDH on the cell wall after a passive efflux through altered plasma membrane was investigated. Flow cytometry was used to assess L. plantarum 299v membrane permeabilization after labeling with propidium iodide (PI). By combining PI uptake and cw-GAPDH activity measurements, we demonstrate here that the increase in cw-GAPDH concentration from the early exponential phase to the late stationary phase is closely related to an increase in plasma membrane permeability during growth. Moreover, we observed that increases in both plasma membrane permeability and cw-GAPDH activity were delayed when glucose was added during L. plantarum 299v growth. Using a double labeling of L. plantarum 299v cells with anti-GAPDH antibodies and propidium iodide, we established unambiguously that cells with impaired membrane manifest five times more cw-GAPDH than unaltered cells. Our results show that plasma membrane permeability appears to be closely related to the efflux of GAPDH on the bacterial cell surface, offering new insight into the understanding of the cell wall location of this enzyme.

Everted membrane vesicles of Helicobacter pylori were prepared and the membrane-resided ATPases were characterized. For comparison, Escherichia coli membrane ATPases and hog gastric mucosal H,K-ATPase were employed. ATPase assay revealed that the composite enzyme pool was relatively low in specific activities, below 1/10 times than that found in E. coli. According to their inhibitory specificities, most of the ATPase pool appeared to belong to the P-type ATPase, sensitive to vanadate but not to azide. The enzyme pool was extraordinarily resistant against treatment by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCCD). Certain monovalent cations, e.g., $K^+$ or $NH_4^{+}$ stimulated the whole enzyme pool only in the presence of $Mg^{2+}$. On the contrary, $Ni^{2+}$ and $Zn^{2+}$ increased enzyme activity rather effectively without the aid of $Mg^{2+}$. Under a defined condition employed, H. pylori cells could retain the membrane ATPase pool to the extent of $17{\%}$ at pH 3.2. Moreover, its activity was most stable in acidic conditions (pH 5.4-6.4). However, cytoplasmic or peripheral ATPase pools were hardly detected under acidity (below pH 4.6).

A dipstick-type immunochemical biosensor for the detection of the organophosphorus insecticide fenthion was developed using a screen-printed electrode system as an amperometric transducer with polyclonal antibodies against fenthion as a bioreceptor. The assay of the biosensor involved competition between the pesticide in the sample and pesticide-glucose oxidase conjugate for binding to the antibody immobilized on the membrane. This was followed by measurement of the activity of the bound enzyme by the supply of the enzyme substrate (glucose) and amperometric determination of the enzyme reaction product ($H_2O_2$). The activity of the bound enzyme was inversely proportional to the concentration of pesticide. The optimized sensor system showed a linear response against the logarithm of the pesticide concentration ranging from $10^{-2}$ to $10^3\;{\mu}g/L$.
