To investigate the svnthyesis of muscle proteins during differentiation of chicken myoblast, cvtosolic and membrane fractions were used for both sodium dodecvl sulfate polvcrylamide gel eBectrophoresis and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. An extensive cell fusion was observed in 4 day culture. In the protein pattern of the cvtosolic fraction from SDS-PAGE. several protein bands including 250 kDa and 46 kDa showed remarkable changes during culture. the protein of 46 kDa was the most prominent one ann its optical density was the highest in 5 day culture (OD = 1.30). In the membrane fraction, band of 19.8 kDa showed the highest absorbance with 0.93 OD at 12 hr after initial plating and decreased gradually thereafter to 0.23 in 5 nay culture. From the results of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of cytosolic fraction, the 46 kDa spot was observed as ko separated forms from culture 2 nary culture, and the sixte of this spot was the largest in 5 nay culture. In the pattern of membrane protein, the extensive appearance of newiv synthesized Proteins was found in a naut culture, but no Prominent spot was observed throughout culture. From the results of the present clay, we found that, during myoblast differentiation, the most prominent proteins were bands of 46 kDa and 19.8 kDa in cvtosolic and membrane fraction, respectively, and the appearance of new proteins was initiated at 48 hr after initial plating, and the 46 kDa protein was predominant in the cytoplasm of late culture in which extensive cell fusion was observed.

담배(Nicotiana tabacum)와 까마중(Solanum migrum)의 솩간 원형질체 융합으로 유도된 켈러스를 재료로하여 캘러스의 전체 단백젤과 틸라코이드막 단백질의 양태변화를 중심으로 식물생장 조절물질과 단색광의 생리적 상호효과를 조사하였다. 여러 단색 광선을 캘러스에 조사하였을때, 적색 및 청색광이 캘러스의 전체 단백질과 킬라코이드막 단백질의 합성을 촉진하였으며 , NAA+$ extrm{GA}_3$ 와 NAA+BA의 조합구에서 캘러스의 전체 단백질과 틸라코이드막 댄백질의 축척이 활발히 일어났으며, NAA+$ extrm{GA}_3$처리구에서 더욱 효과적 이였다. NAA+$ extrm{GA}_3$ 처리구에 청색광, 적색광 및 근적외광을 제각각 처리하였을때 캘러스의 전체 단백질과 킬라코이드막 단백질의 합성은 적색광에 의하여 가장 촉진되었다. 따라서 적색광과 NAA+$ extrm{GA}_3$구의 동시처리가 캘러스의 전체 단백질 및 킬라코이드막 단백질의 합성을 상승적으로 촉진함을 보였다.

We have developed a constitutive display system of the Pseudomonas fluorescens SIK W1 TliA lipase on the cell surface of Escherichia coli using E. coli outer membrane protein C (OmpC) as an anchoring motif, which is an economical compared to induced system. For the constitutive expression of truncated OmpC-TliA fusion proteins, gntT104 promoter was employed. Cell growth was not affected by over expression of fusion protein during entire culture time, suggesting cell lysis was not a problem. The localization of truncated OmpC-TliA fusion protein on the cell surface was confirmed by immunofluorescence microscopy and measuring whole cell lipase activity. Constitutively displayed lipase was very stable, retaining activity enantioselectivity throughout the five repeated reactions. These results suggest that OmpC from E. coli be a useful anchoring motif for displaying enzymes on the cell surface without any inducers, and this stable surface display system can be employed for a broad range of biotechnological applications.

Tenecin fragments are antimicrobial and antifungal peptide from Tenebrio molitor with highly positive charged amino acid residues. To elucidate their membrane selectivity and molecular mechanism, various forms of tenecin fragments were synthesized, and their interaction with acidic phospholipid, Gram (+), fungal and human erythrocyte membrane were investigated by ANTS/DPX leakage, membrane binding and fusion assay.

Application of recombinant protein production and particularly their isotopic enrichment has stimulated development of a range of novel multidimensional heteronuclear NMR techniques. Peptides in most cases are amenable to assignment and structure determination without the need for isotopic labeling. However, there are many cases where the availability of $^{15}N$ and/or $^{13}C$ labeled peptides is useful to study the structure of peptides with more than 30 residues and the interaction between peptides and membrane. CRAMP (Cathelicidin-Related AntiMicrobial Peptide) was identified from a cDNA clone derived from mouse femoral marrow cells as a member of cathelicidin-derived antimicrobial peptides. CRAMP was successfully expressed as a GST-fused form in E. coli and purified using affinity chromatography and reverse-phase chromatography. The yield of the CRAMP was 1.5 mg/l 1. According to CD spectra, CRAMP adopted ${\alpha}$-helical conformation in membrane-mimetic environments. Isotope labeling of CRAMP is expected to make it possible to study the structure and dynamic properties of CRAMP in various membrane systems.

In prion disease, spongiform neurodegeneration is preceded by earlier synaptic dysfunction. There is evidence that soluble N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor attachment receptor (SNARE) complex formation is reduced in scrapie-infected in vivo models, which might explain this synaptic dysfunction because SNARE complex plays a crucial role in neuroexocytosis. In the present study, however, it is shown that prion protein (PrP) does not interfere with SNARE complex formation of 3 SNARE proteins: syntaxin 1a, SNAP-25, and synaptobrevin. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-resistant complex formation, SNAREdriven membrane fusion, and neuroexocytosis of PC12 cells were not altered by PrP. Thus, PrP does not alter synaptic function by directly interfering with SNARE complex formation.

배양 계배 근원세포의 분화에 미치는 계배추출물의 영향을 조사하고, 이 추출물로부터 근워세포의 분화에 필수적인 myotrophic protein(MP)를 순수분리하였다. 그리고 이 MP는 철 운반 단백질인 trsnaferrin과 동일하거나 또는 대단히 유사한 단백질임을 알 수 있었다. 이 단백질은 철을 근원세포에 공급하고 이 철근이 근원세포의 융합에 필수적인 역할을 하는 것으로 보인다. 또 계배추출물속에는 이 MP이외에 근원세포의 융합을 억제하는, 그리고 열에 비교적 안정한 단백질이 존재하다고 생각된다. 이 MP의 수용체(receptor)분석을 한 결과, 수용체의 수는 근원세포가 융합을 하고 나면 급속히 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 근원세포의 내로의 철과 MP의 수송에는 약 10분이 소요되는 것으로 나타났다.

The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-I) Tat protein transduction domain (PTD), which con­tains rich arginine and lysine residues, is responsible for the highly efficient transduction of protein through the plasma membrane. In addition, it can be secreted from infected cells and has the ability to enter neighboring cells. When the PTD of Tat is fused to proteins and exogenously added to cells, the fusion protein can cross plasma membranes. Recent reports indicate that the endogenously expressed Tat fusion protein can demonstrate biodistribution of several proteins. However, intercellular transport and protein transduction have not been observed in some studies. Therefore, this study exam­ined the intercellular transport and protein transduction of the Tat protein. The results showed no evi­dence of intercellular transport (biodistribution) in a cell culture. Instead, the Tat fusion peptides were found to have a significant effect on the transduction and intercellular localization properties. This sug­gests that the HIV-1 PTD passes through the plasma membrane in one direction.

Isoflavonoids are a class of phytoestrogens. Isoflavonone synthase (IFS) is responsible for the conversion of naringenin to genistein. IFS is a cytochrome P450 (CYP), and requires cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) for its activity. Additionally, the majority of cytochrome P450s harbor a membrane binding domain, making them difficult to express in Escherichia coli. In order to resolve these issues, we constructed an inframe fusion of the IFS from red clover (RCIFS) and CPR from rice (RCPR) after removing the membrane binding domain from RCIFS and RCPR. The resultant fusion gene, RCIFS-RCPR, was expressed in E. coli. The conversion of naringenin into genistein was confirmed using this E. coli transformant. Following the optimization of the medium and cell density for biotransformation, $60\;{\mu}M$ of genistein could be generated from $80\;{\mu}M$ of naringenin. This fusion protein approach may be applicable to the expression of other P450s in E. coli.

세포막 단백질의 topology는 막단백질의 중요한 특징이다. 우리는 이전에 C4orf32단백질을 클로닝 하였으나, 이 단백질의 세포내 위치나 topology는 알지 못했다. 이번 연구를 통해 C4orf32는 세포내에서 소포체에 위치되는 막단백질임을 알게 되었다. C4orf32의 topology를 알기 위해 protease protection assay, fluorescence protease protection (FPP) assay, FRB/rapamycin/FKBP system을 활용하였다. Protease protection assay와 FPP assay를 적용한 결과 C-말단에 GFP를 붙인 C4orf32-GFP의 경우 GFP가 소포체의 세포질 표면에 위치함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, FRB/rapamycin/FKBP시스템을 이용한 실험에서 rapamycin이 처리되지 않은 경우는 mRFP-FKBP가 세포질에 위치하다가 rapamycin이 처리되면 C4orf32-GFP-FR가 위치하는 소포체로 이동함을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 사실은 C4orf32의 C-말단이 소포체의 세포질쪽 면에 위치한다는 사실을 말해준다. 이러한 연구를 통해 C4orf32는 Type I 소포체 막단백질에 속한다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다.
