Plant genetic engineering has led to the production of plant-derived mAb (mAbP), which provides a safe and economically feasible alternative to the current antibody expression systems. In this study, the expression levels of mAbP SO57 with or without ER-signal peptides (Lys-Asp-Gly-Leu;KDEL) in transgenic tobacco plants were analysed in transgenic plant. PCR and Reverse Transcription-PCR analyses showed existence of heavy and light chain genes of mAb with or without KEDL and their transcription in plant, respectively. Western blot showed that the expression levels of mAbP SO57 with KDEL were significantly higher than that without KDEL. Flow cytometry analysis showed that the Fc domains of both purified mAbP and mammalian-derived mAb have similar binding activity to the FcγRI receptor. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis showed that the mAbP SO57 with KDEL had glycan profile with both oligomannose and golgi type, whereas the mAbP SO57 without KDEL had only golgi type glycans. Neutralizing analysis with rabies virus CVS-11 showed the similar neutralizing activity between mAbP SO57 with and without KDEL. These results suggest that the potential of mAbP SO57 for rabies immunotherapy is regardless of plant specific glycan structures.

B. lentus M1에 110℃, 15분간 열처리하였을 경우 생육이 억제되었으며, pH 처리 시 pH 5 이하, 10 이상에서 생육이 억제된 것으로 나타났다. B. lentus M1에 대한 전해수의 항균활성을 paper disc법으로 측정한 결과, 높은 생육억제를 보였으며, 오존 처리의 경우 초기 균수가 10² CFU가량의 균을 10분 동안, 10³ CFU가량의 균을 30분 동안 처리 시 균의 생육이 억제되는 것으로 나타났다. Microwave를 1분간 처리 시 B. lentus M1이 모두 사멸한 것으로 나타났다. 감마선 조사의 경우, 1 kGy 조사 시 생균수가 1.61×10³ CFU로 초기 균수에 비해 4 log cycle 가량 균수가 감소하였으며 7 kGy에서 완전히 사멸하였다. 이상의 결과를 통해 열, pH, 전해수, 오존 처리 및 방사선 처리 방법이 멸균 초콜릿 우유의 생존 오염균인 B. lentus M1을 효과적으로 사멸시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. This study was conducted to investigate the cause of microbiological contaminants in aseptic chocolate milk and evaluate the effect of a physicochemical treatment on the growth inhibition of isolated bacterial strains. The bacterium isolated from aseptic chocolate milk was identified as Bacillus lentus and was named B. lentus M1. In the heat and pH treatment, the growth of B. lentus was inhibited at 110℃ for >15 min and at pH’s <5 and >10. An electrolyzed water treatment against B. lentus M1, revealed 5 ㎜ growth past the inhibition zone. The effect of ozone gas on B. lentus M1 growth was evaluated using viable cell counts. When the initial number of B. lentus M1 was 10² and 10³ CFU, the bacteria were completely suppressed by ozone gas treatment for 10 and 30 min, respectively. In a microwave treatment, B. lentus M1 was sterilized following microwave treatment for 1 min. As the result of γ-irradiation against B. lentus M1, numbers decreased as the γ-irradiation dosage increased. These results show the growth inhibition effects against contaminants in aseptic chocolate milk using physicochemical treatments.

Structure–function studies of a plant tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase provide novel insights into DNA repair mechanisms of <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i>

Kim, Hoyeun,Na, Sang ,Hyeon,Lee, So-Young,Jeong, Young-Min,Hwang, Hyun-Ju,Hur, Jae ,Young,Park, Sang-Hyun,Woo, Je-Chang,Kim, Sang-Gu Portland Press Ltd. 2012 The Biochemical journal Vol.443 No.1

<P>TDP1 (tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1), a member of the PLD (phospholipase D) superfamily, catalyses the hydrolysis of a phosphodiester bond between a tyrosine residue and the 3′-phosphate of DNA. We have previously identified and characterized the <I>AtTDP</I> gene in <I>Arabidopsis thaliana</I>, an orthologue of yeast and human <I>TDP1</I> genes. Sequence alignment of TDP1 orthologues revealed that AtTDP has both a conserved C-terminal TDP domain and, uniquely, an N-terminal SMAD/FHA (forkhead-associated) domain. To help understand the function of this novel enzyme, we analysed the substrate saturation kinetics of full-length AtTDP compared with a truncated AtTDP mutant lacking the N-terminal FHA domain. The recombinant AtTDP protein hydrolysed a single-stranded DNA substrate with <I>K</I><SUB>m</SUB> and <I>k</I><SUB>cat</SUB>/<I>K</I><SUB>m</SUB> values of 703±137 nM and (1.5±0.04)×10<SUP>9</SUP>M<SUP>−1</SUP>·min<SUP>−1</SUP> respectively. The AtTDP-(Δ1–122) protein (TDP domain) showed kinetic parameters that were equivalent to those of the full-length AtTDP protein. A basic amino acid sequence (RKKVKP) within the AtTDP-(Δ123–605) protein (FHA domain) was necessary for nuclear localization of AtTDP. Analysis of active-site mutations showed that a histidine and a lysine residue in each of the HKD motifs were critical for enzyme activity. Vanadates, inhibitors of phosphoryl transfer reactions, inhibited AtTDP enzymatic activity and retarded the growth of an <I>Arabidopsis tdp</I> mutant. Finally, we showed that expression of the <I>AtTDP</I> gene could complement a yeast <I>tdp1</I>Δ<I>rad1</I>Δ mutant, rescuing the growth inhibitory effects of vanadate analogues and CPT (camptothecin). Taken together, the results of the present study demonstrate the structure-based function of AtTDP through which AtTDP can repair DNA strand breaks in plants.</P>

Recently, special attention has been given to acid rain and its problem to environment such as acid precipitation and air pollution in East Asia. In the present study, rainwater samples were collected from Apr to Nov in 2012. The samples were chemically characterized for the assessment of emission sources. Suwon and Yeoju regions, typical agricultural areas in South Korea, were chosen for study sites. Ion composition and cation-affected neutralization were determined to evaluate the contribution of cations to the acidity of rainwater. Ion and electrical conductivity between the measured and the estimated showed high correlation. The cations observed in Suwon and Yeoju were Na<SUP>+</SUP> > NH4<SUP>+</SUP> > K<SUP>+</SUP> > Ca<SUP>2+</SUP> > Mg<SUP>2+</SUP> > H<SUP>+</SUP> and Na<SUP>+</SUP> > K<SUP>+</SUP> > NH4<SUP>+</SUP> > Ca<SUP>2+</SUP> > Mg<SUP>2+</SUP> = H<SUP>+</SUP>, respectively. The anions of all sites were SO4<SUP>2-</SUP> > NO3- > Cl<SUP>-</SUP>. While the amounts of sulfate, one of the major dissolved components of rainwater, were 77.6 and 75.6 ueq L<SUP>-1</SUP> in Suwon and Yeoju, the ones of NSS-SO4<SUP>2-</SUP> (Non-Sea Salt sulfate) were 83 and 82% in Suwon and Yeoju, respectively. The comparison of observed pH values (pHobs) with the theoretical pH values (pHthe) showed that the neutralization of rain water considerably went along during the study periods. The highest amounts of rainfall throughout the year in Suwon and Yeoju were 572.3 and 484.6 mm in July, and its corresponding nitrogen loadings in Suwon and Yeoju were 5.28 and 3.50 kg ha-1, respectively. The major ion contents for crop growth with SO4<SUP>2-</SUP>, Ca<SUP>2+</SUP>, K<SUP>+</SUP> and Mg<SUP>2+</SUP> were 51.7, 5.2, 11.8 and 1.8 kg ha<SUP>-1</SUP> in Suwon and 34.2, 4.0, 4.2 and 1.1 kg ha<SUP>-1</SUP> in Yeoju.

Effects of Red Ginseng on Neonatal Hypoxia-induced Hyperacitivity Phenotype in Rats

Kim, Hee-Jin,Joo, So-Hyun,Choi, In-Ha,Kim, Pitna,Kim, Min-Kyoung,Park, Seung-Hwa,Cheong, Jae-Hoon,Shin, Chan-Young The Korean Society of Ginseng 2010 Journal of Ginseng Research Vol.34 No.1

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects 4-12% of chool-age children worldwide and is characterized by three core symptoms: hyperactivity, inattention, and impulsivity. Although standard pharmacological treatments, such as methylphenidate and atomoxetine, are available, concerns about drug-induced psychological and cardiovascular problems, as well as growth retardation and sleep disturbances, highlight the continuing need for new therapeutic interventions. Using a neonatal hypoxia-induced hyperactivity model in rats, the potential positive role that oral administration of red ginseng extract may have in relation to the hyperactive phenotype was investigated. Hypoxia was induced in 2-day-old male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat pups by placing them in a nitrogen chamber for 15 min. The neonatal hypoxia-induced rats showed a significant increase in hyperactivity phenotype, such as increased movement duration, movement distance, and rearing frequency, which was determined by monitoring their spontaneous locomotor activity using the Ethovision video tracking system. One week of oral treatment with red ginseng extract decreased the hyperactivity phenotype of the neonatal hypoxia-induced rats and increased the locomotor activity of the control rats. In the neonatal hypoxia-induced rats, expression of the norepinephrine transporter in the forebrain was increased, and red ginseng treatment partially prevented its up-regulation, while increasing its level in the control rats. Taken together, these results suggest that red ginseng extract decreased the neonatal hypoxia-induced hyperactivity phenotype, although it increased locomotor activity in normal animals.
