다양한 탄소원을 사용하였을 시, 세포성장에 미치는 영향은 배양 5일제 glucose를 사용한 배양세포에서 dry cell weight가 11.2 g/L, wet cell weight가 310.8 g/L로 가장 높았다. 이후 배양 10일차에는 오히려 sucrose를 탄소원으로 사용한 배양세포에서 dry cell weight가 13.4 g/L, wet cell weight가 480 g/L로 가장 높이 성장한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Total secreted protein의 경우는 배양 10일차에 sucrose를 기본 탄소원으로 사용하였을 때 110.3 mg/L로 가장 높게 나왔다. Total secreted protease 역시, 배양 10일차에 sucrose를 기본 탄소원으로 사용한 배양씩에서 3950 U/L로 가장 많은 양이 측정되었다. 최종적으로 재조합된 단백질인 hGM-CSF의 생산량에 대한 측정결과, sucrose를 기본 탄소원로 사용한 배지에서 배양 10일차에 56 mg/L로 가장 높게 측정됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 외에 다양한 탄소원 농도변화에 따른 total secreted protein과 hGM-CSF의 안정성 평가를 확인해본 결과, total secreted protein의 경우, 비교대상으로 사용한 sucrose에서는 농도변화에도 큰 손실률을 보이지는 않았으나, sorbitol, mannitol, fructose, glucose의 경우에는 농도가 높아질수록 배양액내의 protein의 손실률이 증가 하였다. 총 분비된 hGM-CSF 역시 sucrose에 비해 sorbitol, mannitol, fructose, glucose에서는 분비된 hGM-CSF의 양이 크게 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, 탄소원의 농도가 높아질수록 hGM-CSF의 양이 감소하는 경향이 크게 나타났다.

Proteins secreted from bifidobacteria are believed to play important roles in human intestines via interacting with different host cells. In this respect, proteins secreted from Bifidobacterium pseudocatanulatum BP1, which has been rarely studied, were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2DE). Using this approach, approx-imately 21 protein spots on a 2DE gel were detected and 10 of these spots were identified by mass spectrometry. Five spots were identified as hypothetical proteins and the remaining 5 spots were identified as a putative iron-side-rophore binding lipoprotein, a short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase SDR, an exonuclease, cytochrome P450 hydroxylase, and a putative dehydrogenase. The identification of secreted putative iron-siderophore binding lipoprotein was highly interesting since it is an important protein that is involved in ferric iron uptake in pathogenic bacteria. This finding could accelerate studies on the probiotic effect of Bifidobacterium by explaining the competition between bifidobacteria and intestinal pathogens for ferric iron.

As a step towards discovering novel pathogenesis-related proteins, we performed a genome scale computational identification and characterization of secreted and transmembrane (TM) proteins, which are mainly responsible for bacteria-host interactions and interactions with other bacteria, in the genomes of six representative Burkholderia species. The species comprised plant pathogens (B. glumae BGR1, B. gladioli BSR3), human pathogens (B. pseudomallei K96243, B. cepacia LO6), and plant-growth promoting endophytes (Burkholderia sp. KJ006, B. phytofirmans PsJN). The proportions of putative classically secreted proteins (CSPs) and TM proteins among the species were relatively high, up to approximately 20%. Lower proportions of putative type 3 non-classically secreted proteins (T3NCSPs) (~10%) and unclassified non-classically secreted proteins (NCSPs) (~5%) were observed. The numbers of TM proteins among the three clusters (plant pathogens, human pathogens, and endophytes) were different, while the distribution of these proteins according to the number of TM domains was conserved in which TM proteins possessing 1, 2, 4, or 12 TM domains were the dominant groups in all species. In addition, we observed conservation in the protein size distribution of the secreted protein groups among the species. There were species-specific differences in the functional characteristics of these proteins in the various groups of CSPs, T3NCSPs, and unclassified NCSPs. Furthermore, we assigned the complete sets of the conserved and unique NCSP candidates of the collected Burkholderia species using sequence similarity searching. This study could provide new insights into the relationship among plant-pathogenic, humanpathogenic, and endophytic bacteria.

Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens are closely related species that share a similar genomic background, and are both known to secrete large amounts of proteins directly into a medium. The extracellular proteomes of two strains of Bacillus subtilis and two strains of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens were compared by 2-D gel electrophoresis during the late exponential growth phase. The relative abundance of some minor protein spots varied among the four strains of Bacillus. Over 123 spots of extracellular proteins were visualized on the gel for B. subtilis CH 97, 68 spots for B. subtilis 3-5, 230 spots for B. amyloliquefaciens CH 51, and 60 spotsfor B. amyloliquefaciens 86-1. 2D gel electrophoresis images of the four Bacillus strains showed significantly different protein profiles. Consistent with the 2D gel electrophoretic analysis, most of the B. subtilis proteins differed from the proteases secreted by the B. amyloliquefaciensstrains. Among the proteins identified from B. subtilis, approximately 50% were cytoplasmic and 30% were canonically extracellular proteins. The secreted protein profiles for B. subtilis CH 97 and B. subtilis 3-5 were quite different, as were the profiles for B. amyloliquefaciens CH 51 and 86-1. The four proteomes also differed in the major protein composition. The B. subtilis CH 97 and B. amyloliquefaciens CH 51 proteomes both contained large amounts of secreted hydrolytic enzymes. Among the four strains, B. subtilis 3-5 secreted the least number of proteins. Therefore, even closely related bacteria in terms of genomic sequences can still have significant differences in their physiology and proteome layout.

Secreted proteins and membrane proteins play key roles in the formation, differentiation, and maintenance of multicellular organisms. In this study, we undertook to characterize these protein types in the central nervous system of the marine snail Aplysia kurodai using a yeast-based signal sequence trap method. One hundred and three cDNA clones were obtained by screening 300,000 clones from the signal sequence trap cDNA library. Of these, twelve were identical to previously identified Aplysia genes, 19 were related to known proteins in other organisms, and 54 clones were novel. These 54 new genes had high signal peptide scores or were found likely to contain a transmembrane domain sequence. Only 18 of the 103 clones proved to be false positive. The study demonstrates that the signal sequence trap method is an effective tool for Isolating Aplysia genes encoding secreted and membrane proteins.

Inhibition of the growth of human cancer cells by proteins secreted from 373-L1 cells was investigated in the present study. The growth of human cancer cells was inhibited by co-culture with 373-L1 cells under 10% FBS and DME, DME, GIT and serumless medium, respectively. The conditioned medium of cultured 373-L1 cells under serumless medium was concentrated 100-fold through an ultrafiltration cell with a 10,000 molecular weight cutoff at 4$^{\circ}C$ under positive pressure using nitrogen(373-L1 EM). 373-L1 EM inhibited the growth of HeLa, Hep G 2, KHOS-Np, A43l and MCF-7 cells. 3T3-L1 EM was purified with FPLC, DEAE-ion exchange chromatography and phenyl-sepharose chromatography. The major protein of 373-L1 EM has a molecular weight of 66,000-68,000 in SDS-PAGE analysis. The results suggest that the inhibitory activity of 373-L1 EM appears to be due to some protein(m.w.66,000-68,000) secreted by 373-L1 cells.

Adipocytes have been known to secrete a number of important proteins called adipokines with roles in energy metabolism, reproduction, cardiovascular function and immunity. In this study we have attempted to identify intensively secretory proteins from 3T3-L1 adipocytes. 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were differentiated into mature adipocytes and then the cells were left in serum-free medium. The supernatant was filtrated and dialyzed. Lyophilized secretome was fractionated by two different methods, 1-D SDS PAGE and RP-FPLC. The tryptic peptides from the gel slices and the FPLC fractions were analyzed by nanoLC/ESI-MS/MS. We identified a total of 303 identical proteins from two methods, 251 proteins from 1-D gel and 184 proteins from RP-FPLC. 86 of them were listed as a secretory protein Finally, we identified many known or unknown secreted proteins existed in the low level including adiponectin, angiotensinogen, bone morphogenetic protein-1 (BMP-1), macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), insulin like growth factor-II (IGF-II), interleukin-6 (IL-6), follistatin-related protein-1, minecan, and resistin. The existence of some of secreted proteins has been confirmed in RNA level. This proteomic experiment is useful for the intensive screening of secretory proteins in many kinds of other cells.

A method for determination of thyroid secretion rate in rabbit by means of radioactive iodine presented. After injection of radioactive iodine, in vivo determination so f radioactivity in thyroid gland were made during a 19 day-experimental period. In the same period blood samples were drawn and analyzed for protein-bound iodine (PBI) and for protein-bound radioactive iodine(PBI181). A rate constant for secretion of thyroid hormone was calculated from the disappearance rate of radioactive iodine in thyroid gland. The secretion rate of radioactive hormone iodine was calculated by multiplying this rate constant by the amount of radioactive iodine present in thyroid gland. Assuming that the specific radioactiveness of the circulating thyroid hormone and of the hormone just secreted were identical , thyroid secretion rate was calculated by the equation. {{{{ { Secreted hormone-iodine , gamma /hr} over { Secreted hormone-I^131, % dose/hr }= { PBI, ${\gamma}$/ml.Serum} over { PBI^131 , % dose/ml . Serum } }} The method presented consisted of measurements for series of independent criteria on thyroid function, and the resulting thyroid secretion rate was calculated by combination of those.

Among the proteins secreted from Lactobacillus acidophilus KCTC 3151, a 36 kDA and 24 kDa protein, whose amounts were relatively abundant, were purified and their N-terminal amino acid sequences determined. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of 36 kDa protein exhibited high homology with thymidine phosphorylase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the 24 kDa protein did not show significant homology with proteins in Protein Data Base nor Gene Bank. Nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding 36 kDa protein indicates that the protein possesses the domains for a-helical, phosphate binding and pyrimidine binding sites, which are also shown in thymidine phosphorylases. Also, the protein contains conserved domains of dehydrogenase II and III. However, the activity of thymidine phosphorylase or glyceraldehyde-3-puospnate dehydrogenase could not be detected in the purified fractions of the 36 kDa protein.
