Thirty two species of coastal plants (mainly halophytes) were investigated for their free amino acids and the total and Water-soluble nitrogen contents in leaves. All plants except some species (e.g. Scutellaria and Linaria) contained proline, but only Ageratum, Tetragonia and Raphanus in rather high amounts, that it can be thought to serve as a cytoplasmic osmolyte. In some plant species (Euphorbia, Glehnia, Peucedanum, Raphanus and monocotyledonous Carex and Zoysia), however, hydroxyproline (OH-Pro) rather than proline were accumulated to a considerable extent. The concentrations of total free amino acids were low in Aster tripolium, Linaria, Lysimachia, Plantago, Rumex, Vitex and especially in the members of the Chenopodiaceae and Crassulaceae. Marked differences also occurred in the nitrogen levels. Aizoaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Convolvulaceae, Cruciferae, Euphorbiaceae and Leguminosae usually showed high values of total and soluble amino nitrogen, while the opposite was true for most of the Cyperaceae, Gramineae, Lamiaceae, Plantaginaceae, Scophuriaceae, and Verbenaceae. The free amino acids in the investigated plant species contributed very little to the nitrogen content, but in plants of Euphorbia, Messerschmidia and Orostachys, their amino acid-N made up for 25∼30% of the total nitrogen. In conclusion, only a few cases did proline known as compatible solute constitute a significant proportion of the free amino acid pool in coastal plants.

안철우,이철승,서종환,박진식,문추연,장성호,김수생 한국환경농학회 2004 한국환경농학회지 Vol.23 No.4

본 연구는 음식물찌꺼기의 혐기성 산발효에 있어 여러 조건들 중 온도가 효율적인 가수분해와 산발효에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위해 고온(55℃)과 중온(35℃)에서 각각 실험을 수행하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 음식물찌꺼기의 혐기성 산발효시 산생성 효율을 높이기 위한 전처리 과정으로 음식물찌꺼기에 NaOH를 투입한 결과 가수분해효율을 표현한 가용화 정도(Solubilization)가 0.01 g NaOH/g TS이하로 투입된 경우 0.01 mgSCOD_(prod)/mgICOD_(inf)이하를 나타내었으나, 0.05 g NaOH/g TS이상을 투입했을 때는 0.07~0.09 mgSCOD_(prod)/mgICOD_(inf)로 나타났다. 따라서 음식물찌꺼기에 NaOH를 투입하여 효율적인 가수분해가 이루어지기 위해서는 g TS당 0.05 g이상의 NaOH가 투입되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 음식물찌꺼기를 NaOH로 전처리한 후 고온(55℃) 산발효를 실시했을 때 0.05 g NaOH/g TS 투입시 SCOD의 증가치 3,800 mg/L로 최대의 가용화와 산생성에 효과적인 pH 5.95를 얻을 수 있었다. 0.05 g NaOH/g TS를 투입하여 중온(35℃)에서 산발효를 실시한 경우와 비교하여 SCOD 증가치가 약 5배 정도 높았고, 최대 가용화에 이르는 시간도 중온의 2/3 정도로 짧아 음식물찌꺼기의 가용화에는 고온이 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. NaOH 0.05 g NaOH/g TS로 전처리된 음식물찌꺼기의 산발효 결과 고온(55℃) 및 중온(35℃)에서 각각 반응시작 후 72시간에 12,600 mg/L, 120tlrksdp 9,800 mg/L의 VFA농도를 나타내어 동일기질을 이용하여 산발효를 실시했을 때 중온보다는 고온에서 미생물의 활성증대와 유기물의 가수분해가 촉진되어 VFA생성이 효율적인 것으로 판단되었다. 고온에서 NaOH에 전처리된 음식물찌꺼기를 산발효 시켰을 때 VFA가 가장 높았던 시점을 기준으로 VFA의 조성을 조사한 결과 acetic acid가 45.9%, butyric acid가 26.7%, propionic acid가 13.9% 등으로 총 유기산 발생량의 86.5%를 차지하였다. This study showed that thermophilic anaerobic acid fermentation of food wastes had an enhanced hydrolysis capability and improvement of acidification efficiency. Influence of pH on the anaerobic hydrolysis and acidogenesis was investigated to determine the proper alkalinity in the thermophilic fermentation of food wastes. The results of putting NaOH as alkali to evaluate hydrolysis and acid fermentation efficiency in acid fermentation process of food wastes showed that the food wastes pretreated with 0.05 g NaOH/g TS had the maximum 12,600 mg/L of VFAs concentration during HRT 3 days in 55℃ hermophilic condition and the maximum 9,700 mg/L of VFAs concentration during HRT 5 days in 35℃ mesophilic condition. The accomplishment of high VFAs concentration resulted from that the main component of food wastes such as cellulose, lignin and etc. is performed active chemical decomposition by alkali in thermophilic condition. The major components of VFAs produced from the thermophilic acid fermentation process of food wastes were the short chain fatty acids such as acetic acid, butyric acid, and propionic acid.

Influence of light Regime on Nitrate Reductase Activity and Organic and norganic Solute Composition of Four Sedges (Carex spp.)

Choo, Yeon-Sik,Roland-Albert,Song, Seung-Dal The Korean Society for Integrative Biology 1998 Korean journal of biological sciences Vol.2 No.4

A survey was conducted on the inorganic and organic solute patterns of plants in connection with nitrate metabolism according to different light regimes (1.9, 16.0, 91.5 $Wm^{-2}$). Besides measuring in vivo NRA, we also quantitatively analyzed ater-soluble inorganic ions, organic acids, low molecular weight carbohydrates, amino aciss and total N (% DW). Among 4 Carex species, C. pilosa is known as shade-adapted species and the others as half (C. gracilis) to full (C. rostrata & C. distans) light-adapted species. Compared to species adapted to high light intensity, shade-adapted C. pilosa showed reduced productivity under the highest light intensity. In general, nitrate and amino acid levels decreased at higher light intensity, while sugar and organic acid concentrations increased. In C. pilosa osmolality tended to rise with increasing light intensity, while in the other species it tended to fall. Under low light intensity, the drop in soluble carbohydrate contents is osmotically compensated for by an enhanced nitrate concentration. It is concluded that competition between nitrate and $CO_2$reduction for reductants and ATP from photosynthesis may have important ecological consequences for the adaptation of plants to low or high light conditions. Additionally, the patterns of ionic changes due to increased light intensities were essentially the same in all selected species, indicating similar characteristics of heir mineral ion and organic acid metabolism as well as in field-grown Carex species.

Molecular characterization of iron binding proteins, transferrin and ferritin heavy chain subunit, from the bumblebee Bombus ignitus

Bo Yeon Kim,Kwang Sik Lee,Young Moo Choo,Hyung Joo Yoon,Hung Dae Sohn,Byung Rae Jin 한국응용곤충학회 2008 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2008 No.10

Transferrin and ferritin are iron-binding proteins involved in transport and storage of iron as part of iron metabolism. Here, we describe the cDNA cloning and characterization of transferrin (Bi-Tf) and the ferritin heavy chain subunit (Bi-FerHCH), from the bumblebee Bombus ignitus. Bi-Tf cDNA spans 2,340 bp and encodes a protein of 706 amino acids and Bi-FerHCH cDNA spans 1,393 bp and encodes a protein of 217 amino acids. Comparative analysis revealed that Bi-Tf appears to have residues comprising iron-binding sites in the N-terminal lobe, and Bi-FerHCH contains a 5’UTR iron-responsive element and seven conserved amino acid residues associated with a ferroxidase center. The Bi-Tf and Bi-FerHCH cDNAs were expressed as 79 kDa and 27 kDa polypeptides, respectively, in baculovirus-infected insect Sf9 cells. Northern blot analysis revealed that Bi-Tf exhibits fat body-specific expression and Bi-FerHCH shows ubiquitous expression. The expression profiles of the Bi-Tf and Bi-FerHCH in the fat body of B. ignitus worker bees revealed that Bi-Tf and Bi-FerHCH are differentially induced in a time-dependent manner in a single insect by wounding, bacterial challenge, and iron overload.

대두의 질소고정 , 질산환원 및 Ureide 함량에 미치는 NO3- 의 영향

추연식(Yeon Sik Choo),김성준(Sung Jun Kim),송승달(Seung Dal Song) 한국식물학회 1987 Journal of Plant Biology Vol.30 No.3

Soybean, inoculated with effective Rhizobium japonicum 110, were grown by sand culture with nutrient solution containing either of 0,1,3,10 or 30 mM NO_3^-/l, and analyzed growth characteristics, NR activity, N_2-fixation activity, and changes of ureide contents during the growing period. The amount of nodule formation decreased abruptly by nitrate treatment, the maximum nodule dry weight was 1.59, 1.05, 0.78, 0.09 and 0.008 g plant^-1, respectively for each treatment on the 98th day. Specific activity of N_2-fixation showed the maximum rates of 140, 101, 37, 5 and 2.2 nM dw·㎎^-1·hr^-1, respectively for each treatment in the earlier growth period. The maximum acetylene reduction activity on the 98th day after sowing was 81.5, 35.3, 14.3, 0.1 and 0.0045 μM C_2H_4 plant^-1·hr^-1, respectively for 0,1,3,10 and 30 nM of NO_3^- gradients. Nitrate reduction activity increased along with nitrate gradients, and decreased abruptly with age. Relative abundance of ureides in plant organs was high in reproductive growth, and showed the maximum value in fully symbiotic dependent plant. Relative abundance of ureides in stem is a useful indication for the evaluation of nitrogen fixation in nodules of symbiotic plant.

Bo Yeon Kim,Kwang Sik Lee,Young Moo Choo,So Dong Woo,Yeon Ho Je,Byung Rae Jin 한국응용곤충학회 2009 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2009 No.10

Pseudorabies virus (PRV), a member of the Alphaherpesviridae, is the causative agent of Aujeszky’s disease in pigs. Glycoprotein B (gB) of PRV, a major constituent of the viral envelope, consists of 916 amino acids. We continuously combined three gB epitopes, E1 (aa 62-129), E2 (aa 217-282), and E3 (aa 543-737). The DNA fragment containing the PRV gB epitopes was fused with polyhedrin gene in order to generate recombinant baculovirus that expresses the recombinant polyhedra with PRV gB epitopes under the control of the Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus polyhedrin promoter. Recombinant baculoviruses were injected into fifth-instar B. mori larvae. SDS-PAGE and Western blot analyses revealed that recombinant polyhedra constitute polyhedrin and PRV gB epitopes, and that the recombinant PRV gB epitopes showed cross-reactivity against antiserum of PRV gB produced from pig. To examine the immunogenicity of recombinant PRV gB epitopes, we injected into mice as model animals. ELISA results indicated that antibody production is increased in a similar manner in the injection of recombinant polyhedra with PRV gB epitopes, either injected recombinant polyhedra as a granule form antigen without adjuvant or injected recombinant polyhedrin as a soluble form antigen with adjuvant. Taken together, these data show that PRV gB epitopes were produced as a granule form antigen by fusing recombinant polyhedra in baculovirus-infected silkworm larvae and displayed the immunogenicity in mice, indicating the efficacy of the granule form antigen as a PRV gB vaccine.

Bo Yeon Kim,Kwang Sik Lee,Young Moo Choo,Hyung Joo Yoon,Pil Don Kang,Soo Dong Woo,Hung Dae Sohn,Jong Yul Roh,Yeon Ho Je,Byung Rae Jin 한국응용곤충학회 2009 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2009 No.05

Background: Proteolytic enzymes are involved in insect molting and metamorphosis and play a vital role in the programmed cell death of obsolete organs. Here we show the expression profile of cathepsin B in the fat body of the silkworm Bombyx mori during development. We also compared the expression profile of B. mori cathepsins B (BmCatB) and D (BmCatD) in the fat body during the larval-pupal transformation of B. mori in the BmCatB or BmCatD RNA interference (RNAi) process. Results: BmCatB is ecdysone-induced and expressed in the fat body of B. mori during the molting, and the larval-pupal and pupal-adult transformations, and its expression leads to programmed cell death. In particular, BmCatB is highly expressed in the fat body of B. mori during the larval-pupal transformation and BmCatB RNAi treatment resulted in the arrest of the larval-pupal transformation. RNAi-treated BmCatB knock-down sustained the expression of BmCatD during the larval-pupal transformation. On the other hand, BmCatD RNAi up-regulated the expression of BmCatB in the fat body of final instar larvae. Conclusion: Based on these results, we conclude that BmCatB is involved in the programmed cell death of the fat body during B. mori metamorphosis and that BmCatB and BmCatD contribute collaboratively to B. mori metamorphosis

Molecular cloning and functional characterization of a modulator of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the insect

Young Moo Choo,Kwang Sik Lee,Bo Yeon Kim,Jianhong Li,Jong Gill Kim,Jae Heon Lee,Hung Dae Sohn,Byung Rae Jin 한국응용곤충학회 2008 한국응용곤충학회 학술대회논문집 Vol.2008 No.05

Insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are targets for insecticides. Despite the importance of the nAChR as a major target for insecticide action, modulators of nAChRs in insects remain unidentified. Here we describe the cloning and identification of a nAChR modulator gene in an insect. This gene was isolated by searching the firefly Pyrocoelia rufa cDNA library, and the geneitself encodes a protein 120 amino acids in length, named Pr-lynx1. Pr-lynx1 shares all the features, including a cysteine-rich consensus motif and common gene structure, of the Ly-6/neurotoxin superfamily. The recombinant Pr-lynx1, which is expressed as a 12-kDa polypeptide in baculovirus-infected insect Sf9 cells, is normally present at the cell surface asa GPI-anchored protein. Northern and Western blot analyses revealed that Pr-lynx1 is expressed in various tissues, such as the ganglion, brain, mandibular muscle, proventriculus, leg muscle, and epidermis. This expression pattern is similar to the distribution of nAChRs as assayed by α3 nAChR immunoreactivity. Co-expression of Pr-lynx1 in Xenopus oocytes expressing α3β4 nAChRs results in an increase in acetylcholine-evoked macroscopic currents, indicating a functional role of Pr-lynx1 as a protein modulator for nAChRs. This study on Pr-lynx1 is the first report of a modulator of nAChRs in an insect species.
