<P>CHDH (choline dehydrogenase) is an enzyme catalyzing the dehydrogenation of choline to betaine aldehyde in mitochondria. Apart from this well-known activity, we report here a pivotal role of CHDH in mitophagy. Knockdown of CHDH expression impairs CCCP-induced mitophagy and PARK2/parkin-mediated clearance of mitochondria in mammalian cells, including HeLa cells and SN4741 dopaminergic neuronal cells. Conversely, overexpression of CHDH accelerates PARK2-mediated mitophagy. CHDH is found on both the outer and inner membranes of mitochondria in resting cells. Interestingly, upon induction of mitophagy, CHDH accumulates on the outer membrane in a mitochondrial potential-dependent manner. We found that CHDH is not a substrate of PARK2 but interacts with SQSTM1 independently of PARK2 to recruit SQSTM1 into depolarized mitochondria. The FB1 domain of CHDH is exposed to the cytosol and is required for the interaction with SQSTM1, and overexpression of the FB1 domain only in cytosol reduces CCCP-induced mitochondrial degradation via competitive interaction with SQSTM1. In addition, CHDH, but not the CHDH FB1 deletion mutant, forms a ternary protein complex with SQSTM1 and MAP1LC3 (LC3), leading to loading of LC3 onto the damaged mitochondria via SQSTM1. Further, CHDH is crucial to the mitophagy induced by MPP+ in SN4741 cells. Overall, our results suggest that CHDH is required for PARK2-mediated mitophagy for the recruitment of SQSTM1 and LC3 onto the mitochondria for cargo recognition.</P>

본 연구는 지리산국립공원 심원계곡 생태경관 복원공사지역의 모니터링 결과를 분석하여 체계적인 복원관리를 도모할 수 있는 기초자료를 확보하는데 그 목적이 있다. 복원사업이 완료된 2017년도에 식생 모니터링을 위한 조사구 12개소와 대조구 4개소를 설치하였고, 2017년과 2020년의 상대우점치, 종다양도지수, 유사도 등의 변화를 분석하였다. 복원사업 시 수목이 식재되었던 조사구는 종다양도지수가 0∼1.4552로 나타났고, 대조구와의 유사도지수에서는 1개 조사구가 1.32%로 분석된 것을 제외하고 모두 0%로 나타났다. 조사구의 종다양도지수 및 유사도지수가 매우 낮은 것은 복원사업 시 식재된 수목이 고사하거나 멧돼지 피해, 유수에 의한 침식으로 유실되는 등의 영향으로 판단되었다. 반면 복원사업 시 수목이 식재되지 않은 미식재 조사구는 종다양도지수가 0.9538∼2.3222로 나타났고, 유사도지수는 최대 8.33%까지 분석되었다. 국립공원 생태경관 복원공사지역의 복원 공법 개발을 위한 장기 모니터링과, 미식재 조사구의 천이과정을 분석하는 지속적인 연구가 필요하다. This study aims to obtain basic data for systematic restoration by analyzing the monitoring results of the Shimwon Valley Ecological Landscape Restoration Project area in Jirisan National Park. In 2017, when the restoration project was completed, 12 monitoring plots and 4 control plots were installed for vegetation monitoring, and changes in the relative dominance, species diversity index and similarity between 2017 and 2020 were analyzed. The species diversity index of the surveyed areas where trees were planted during the restoration project was 0-1.4552, and the similarity index with the control group was 0% except for one survey area at 1.32%. The very low species diversity index and similarity index in the survey areas were attributed to the loss of trees planted during the restoration project due to death, damage by wild boars, or erosion by running water. On the other hand, the species diversity index was 0.9538-2.3222 in the monitoring plot where no tree was planted, and the similarity index was analyzed to be as high as 8.33%. It is necessary to continue the long-term monitoring for the development of ecological landscape restoration methods in the national park and analysis of the succession in monitoring plots where no trees were planted.

표준균주를 포함한 230여개의 김치유래 젖산균에 대한 균체지방산(FAMEs)을 분석하였다. FAMEs profiles는 Euclidian Distance 17.5에 의해 7개의 Major Cluster와 1개의 Single Cluster로 나뉘어졌다. 이중 A, B, C 및 Cluster는 Leuconostoc속으로 분석되어졌고, F는 Lactobacillus속으로 분석되어졌다. 그리고 E와 G cluster는 두개의 Genus가 혼재되어 나타났으며 보충적인 연구가 필요하다. 앞으로 김치유래 젖산균의 균체지방산 분석결과를 기반으로 한 데이타베이스에 95가지 탄소원을 이용하는 수치분류학적 접근방법 및 Pyrolysis Mass Spectrometry 등의 화학적 분석 방법과 분자친화적 연구를 통한 종합적 분류정보 체계가 갖추어지면 젖산균의 신속, 정확한 동정 및 연구에 활발히 이용되어질 것이다. Two hundreds and thirty lactic acid bacteria, mostly isolated from Kimchi, including type strains were sued for analysis of cellular fatty acids. The 230 test strains were recoverd in 7 major and 1 single clusters defined a Euclidian distance of 17.5. These aggregate taxa were equivalent to the genus Leuconostoc (aggregate group A, B, C and D), and the genera Leuconostoc and Lactobacillus (aggregate group G). It is concluded as evident that FAMEs (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters) profile of cell can be used as a criterion in classification of lactic acid bacterial from kimchi. Additional comparative taxonomic studies need to be carried out on well chosen representative strains to determine the most appropriate methods of value.

박성균,이강숙,노영만,구정완,민선영,한진구,고원경,김미란,정재근,이종승,김진홍 大韓産業醫學會 2000 대한직업환경의학회지 Vol.12 No.1

목적 : 본 연구는 지방조직과 혈청의 PCBs와 DDE 농도를 측정하고, 이에 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려진 요인들과의 관련성을 평가하고자 하였다. 방법 : 유방암, 자궁내막증 등 유기염소계 화합물의 영향이 있는 것으로 알려진 호르몬 관련 질병을 제외한 부인과 환자 52명을 대상으로 지방조직과 혈청을 분석하였으며, 설문조사를 통하여 연령, 교육수준, 직업, 비만도, 흡연과 음주, 출산력, 수유력등을 조사하였다. 지방조직과 혈청의 PCBs와 DDE 농도는 가스크로마토그래피를 사용하여 측정하였다. 결과 : 지방조직의 경우, 13개 PCBs congeners 농도의 합은 중앙값이 48.29 ng/g, 기하평균값이 56.78 ng/g이었고, DDE 농도는 중앙값이 142.89ng/g, 기하평균값이 117.06 ng/g이었으며, 혈청의 경우는 PCBs congeners 농도의 합은 중앙값이 4.67 ㎍/L, 기하평균값이 4.85 ㎍/L이었고, DDE 농도는 중앙값이 1.75 ㎍/L, 기하평균값이 2.09 ㎍/L로 나타났다. 지방조직과 혈청의 DDE 농도 사이는 높은 상관성을 보였으나(r²=0.310, p=0,0002), PCBs는 상관성이 약한 것으로 나타났다(r²=0.029, p=0.2582). 영향요인을 범주화한 후 로그변환 시킨 지방조직과 혈청의 PCBs, DDE 평균의 차이를 분석한 결과, 지방조직의 DDE만이 출산자녀수(p=0.015), 초산연령 (p=0.014), 비만지수(p=0.035)와 연관성이 발견되었다 다중회귀분석의 결과 지방조직의 DDE는 출산자녀수가 적을수록, 초산연령이 늦을수록 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 결론 : 출산자녀수와 초산연령, 비만도가 지방조직의 DDE와 관련성을 보였으며, 또한 유기염소계 화합물의 장기간의 노출에 의한 영향을 평가하는데 있어서 혈청보다 지방조직이 더 유용한 생물지표임을 알 수 있었다. Objectives : This study was purposed to determine the levels of PCBs and DDE in adipose tissue and serum and to evaluate the relations with factors affecting these levels. Methods : We analyzed adipose tissues and sera from 52 gynecologic benign disease patients aged 27-78 years, except hormonal diseases such as breast cancer and endometriosis. We also surveyed age, education, occupation, body mass index (BMI), smoking, drinking, number of children, and duration of breastfeeding by questionnaires. Tissue and serum levels of PCBs and DDE were measured using gas chromatography. Results : The median and geometric mean levels of PCBs were 48.29 ng/g, 56.78 ng/g for adipose tissue and 4.67 ㎍/L, 4.85 ㎍/L for serum, and those of DDE were 142.89 ng/g, 117.06 ng/g for adipose tissue and 1.75 ㎍/L, 2.09 ㎍/L for serum, respectively. Adipose tissue and serum levels for DDE showed high correlation (r²=0.310, p=0.0002), but those of PCBs didn't (r²=0.029, p=0.2582). In analyses of the differences of the means of log transformed adipose tissue and serum PCBs and DDE levels for groups of potential covariates, only adipose tissue DDE levels were significantly associated with number of children (p=0.015), age at first birth (p=0.074) and BMI (p=0.035). In multiple regression analysis, adipose tissue DDE levels were significantly increased with decreasing number of children and increasing age at first birth. Conclusions : This study suggested that parity and adiposity were associated with levels of DDE in adipose tissue, and adipose tissue is a better biomarker than serum for evaluating the long-term exposure of organochlorines.

박숙영,김우정,이근택 강릉대학교동해안지역연구소 1990 東海岸硏究 Vol.1 No.2

영양학적으로 매우 우수한 부존자원이라 할 수 있는 닭 간의 단백질을 protease인 Neutrase를 이용하여 효소적으로 가수분해를 하였다. 가수분해시의 최적조건을 파악하기 위하여 온도, 시간, pH 및 효소 첨가량 (E/S ratio) 의 조건을 검토하고 수분과 기름의 흡수성, 유화활성, 점도등의 기능성을 조사하였다. 아울러 다시료 비교법에 의한 관능검사를 시행하였다. Neutrase를 이용하여 닭 간 단백질을 가수분해 시켰을 때 온도 50℃, pH 6.0에서 최대활성을 나타내었고, 효소의 첨가량이 증가할 수록 가수분해도는 증가하였다. 수분과 기름의 흡수성과 유화활성도는 반응시간이 지날수록 감소하였고 점도는 증가하였다. 동결건조된 닭 간 단백질 가수분해물의 냄새와 색깔에 대한 관능평가에서는 썩은내와 역겨운 냄새만이 1% 범위에서 유의성이 있었다. 또한 효소적 가수분해는 닭 간 단백질 가수분해물의 색을 붉은색이 감소하는 대신 좀더 밝고, 녹색을 띠도록 하였다. Chicken liver is a potential valuable source of nutrients. Chicken liver protein was enzymatically hydrolyzed using a kind of protease, Neutrase. In order to determine the optimum conditions of hydrolysis process, the parameters of reaction temperature, time, pH, and enzyme to substrate ratio (E/S ratio) were investigated. To evaluate the functional properties of hydrolysate, water and oil absorption capacity, emulsifying capacity and viscosity were measured. Sensory tests by multiple comparison test were also carried out. The optimum condition for the hydrolysis were 50℃ and pH 6.0 and degree of hydrolysis incrased with increasing E/S ratio. Water and oil absorption and emulsifying capacity were decreased and viscosity was increased during hydrolysis. The sensory evaluation of odor and color of freeze-dried chicken liver protein hydrolysates showed a significant increase in 'spoiled' and 'nauseous' (p < 0.01). It was also found that the proteolytic hydrolysis caused the color of chicken liver protein hydrolysates to be brighter, less redish and more greenish.

農業構造變化와 農業金融問題의 再認識

朴正根,崔圭晧 全北大學校 1978 論文集 Vol.20 No.-

This study presents crucial features of structural changes in agriculture and their applications to farm finance problems. The rapid growth of economy since the 1960's in Korea, has accelerated the pace of industrialization and urbanization. Its influences have caused agricultural transformation. The process of structural transformation has been based on the interrelationships between agriculture and industry through the market for capital and labor. The rapid economic development has stimulated a great number of rural people to migrate to large cities, so the number of agricultural workers has begun to decline since 1968. Therefore, in the past, labor was the most important input of agricultural production. Nowadays, because of the shortage of labor, observations concerning the relative changes of resource inputs in agricultural production indicate that capital acts as a major factor in the substitution for labor in the expansion of agricultural output. At the same time, wide-scale substitution of capital for labor has come about because of the technological progress based on labor-saving and capital-augmentation. On the other hand, as economic development continues to increase nation's per capita income, the commodities with higher income-elasticity, which are produced mainly for market by specialized producers have also increased rapidly. Thus, increased technological progress and marketing functions have contributed to structural change, namely, the farmers purchase more of their inputs which, in turn, encourage the changes in the financial structure of the farm sector in Korea. In order to adapt to the rapid structural changes farmers are required to have a larger amounts of capital than they have had in the past, so their liquidity position is increasing. The rapidity with which these developments emerged has created problems with some credit agencies financing farmers. However, it has been generally assumed that in subsistence agriculture rural people are too poor to save, and farm finance problems have received relatively little attention. But now, on the demand side of capital, modernizing agriculture requires large infusions of credit to finance the use of purchased inputs. On the supply side of capital, the experimental data developed in Korea recently showed that rural households have save a significant part of their incomes even though per capita incomes were quite low. This situation indicates that in farm finance Korean agriculture has arrived at the threshold of a new era. The changes in the financial structure of agriculture necessitate us to examine some of the accompanying problems and implications. From the individual farmer's standpoint farm financial management will become more important and will consume a larger proportion of the operator's time. Credit agencies will meet more nearly the challenges of greatly increased credit needs, and must perform the function of transferring savings between sectors, between regions and between income classes. To insure economic progress and an equitable distribution of its profits, policy makers should prepare to create and nurture a strong appropriate institutional program.

류마티스 관절염 환자에서 발생한 Mycobacterium intracellulare에 의한 관절염 1예

박근우,권현희,정승혜,김경찬,최정윤,이영환 대한감염학회 2007 감염과 화학요법 Vol.39 No.1

비정형 항산균에 의한 근골격계 감염은 매우 드물며, 진단이 지연되는 경우가 많다. 저자들은 류마티스 관절염환자에서 수차례 스테로이드 주사 후에 생긴 M. intracellulare에 의한 관절염을 진단하고 수술적 치료없이 약물 치료만으로 좋은 결과를 보인 예를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다. Nontuberculous mycobacteria are ubiquitous organisms that are frequently present in the water, soil and animal reservoirs. Nontuberculous mycobacterial infections of the musculoskeletal system are rare and usually associated with predisposing factors, such as prior joint disease, trauma, use of intraarticular or oral corticosteroids, or an immunocompromised state. A sixty five-year-old patient with rheumatoid arthritis was hospitalized due to swelling on the left wrist. M. intracellulare was cultured from the aspirated joint fluid. The patient was successfully treated with clarithromycin, ethambutol, and rifampin. We report this case with review, emphasizing high suspicion for nontuberculous mycobacterial infection in patients with predisposing risk factors.

PelB Signal Sequence로 유도된 제조합 인간 상피세포 증식인자 분비 발현 벡터의 제조

박세철,남정현,김정근,권태종,고인영,유광현 한국미생물생명공학회 ( 구 한국산업미생물학회 ) 1996 한국미생물·생명공학회지 Vol.24 No.5

전사개시 단계중에 삽입되는 N말단의 methionine이 제거되고 pelB signal sequence를 삽입하여 인체 epidermal growth factor (hEGF)가 직접 분비발현 되도록 고안된 T7과 tac promoter에 의하여 각각 발현되는 pYHB101과 pYHB2를 제조하였다. 또한 T7 promoter에 의하여 발현되지만 signal sequence를 삽입하지 않은 pYHB1도 제조하여 각각 제조된 재조합 plasmid들의 발현 및 분비효율을 비교하였다. pelB signal sequence hEGF 유전자를 갖도록 제조된 pYHB101을 포함하고 있는 균주가 pYHB1보다 균체 성장속도는 낮았지만 pYHB101을 1 mM IPTG로 5시간 induction 하였을 때 13 mg/l의 rhEGF가 분비발현되어 T7 promoter의 발현 체계를 갖는 경우가 tac promoter보다 높은 발현 효율을 보였다. 이때 pYHB101에서 발현되는 rhEGF의 발현량은 준최적 조건에서 14 mg/l이었다. We have designed nucleotide sequences of hEGF structural gene to eliminate the N-terminal methionine residue incorporated during the translation initiation step, and constructed recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) secretion plasmids pYHB101, and pYHB2 in which pelB signal sequence-hEGF gene was expressed under the control of the T7, and tac promoter, respectively. We also constructed pYHB1 vector which contains rhEGF gene controlled by T7 promoter. The transformant with pYHB101 showed relatively slow growth pattern compared to the transformant with pYHB1. However, we observed that the transformant with pYHB101 secreted rhEGF of 13 mg/l significantly after 5 hr induction with 1 mM IPTG and that the T7 promoter was more effective than tac promoter when connected to pelB signal sequence. The amount of rhEGF was 14 mg/l under the sub-optimized condition.
