Phytate-removed deamidated soybean globulins were prepared using ion-exchange resins to provide them with a functional property to enhance calcium absorption in the body. The phosphorus level was reduced from 45 to 20 micromol/g using 0.05 g/mL of AE-4, an anion-exchange resin with a (2-hydroxyethyl)dimethylammonium group, in 0.2% soybean globulin solution for 1 h at 4 degrees C, and 90-92% of the phosphorus in defatted soybeans could be removed. As for deamidation, CE-4, a cation-exchange resin of the carboxylate type, showed a much higher deamidation activity than CE-1 and CE-2, cation-exchange resins of the sulfonate type. No peptide bond hydrolysis was observed for any cation-exchange resin treated at 4 degrees C. There was no significant difference in the amount of acid amide deamidated at temperatures between 4 and 50 degrees C. The deamidation level was able to increase to 73% using 0.10 g/mL of CE-4 in a 0.2% soybean globulin solution for 6 h at 4 degrees C. The amount of calcium bound to the soybean globulins decreased with removal of the phytate but increased with deamidation.  相似文献   

Effect of 3-O-octanoyl-(+)-catechin on the responses of GABA(A) receptors and Na+/glucose cotransporters expressed in xenopus oocytes and on the oocyte membrane potential     

Aoshima H  Okita Y  Hossain SJ  Fukue K  Mito M  Orihara Y  Yokoyama T  Yamada M  Kumagai A  Nagaoka Y  Uesato S  Hara Y 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2005,53(6):1955-1959

Recently, 3-O-octanoyl-(+)-catechin (OC) was synthesized from (+)-catechin (C) by incorporation of an octanoyl chain into C in the light of (-)-epicatechin gallate (ECg) and (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), which are the major polyphenols found in green tea and have strong physiological activities. OC was found to inhibit the response of ionotropic gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors (GABA(A) receptors) and Na+/glucose cotransporters expressed in Xenopus oocytes in a noncompetitive manner more strongly than does C. OC also induced a nonspecific membrane current and decreased the membrane potential of the oocyte, and thus death of the oocyte occurred even at lower concentrations than that induced by C or EGCg. Although EGCg produced H2O2 in aqueous solution, OC did not. This newly synthesized catechin derivative OC possibly binds to the lipid membrane more strongly than does C, Ecg, or EGCg and as a result perturbs the membrane structure.  相似文献   

Isolation and characterization of aminopeptidase (Jc-peptidase) from Japanese cedar pollen (Cryptomeria japonica)     

Noguchi Y  Nagata H  Koganei H  Kodera Y  Hiroto M  Nishimura H  Inada Y  Matsushima A 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2002,50(12):3540-3543

An aminopeptidase, Jc-peptidase, was purified from Japanese cedar pollen by seven steps, including precipitation with ammonium sulfate, ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration, hydrophobic interaction chromatography on phenyl-agarose, and high-performance liquid chromatography. Purified Jc-peptidease has a molecular weight of 42 kDa and hydrolyzes the synthetic substrates of L-phenylalanyl-4-methylcoumaryl-7-amide (Phe-MCA) with Km = 5 x 10(-5) M, Tyr-MCA with Km = 7 x 10(-4) M, Leu-MCA with Km = 1 x 10(-3) M, and Met-MCA with Km = 1 x 10(-3) M. Other MCA analogues such as Arg-MCA or Glu-MCA failed to serve as its substrates. The activity was inhibited in the presence of phebestin, [(2S,3R)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutanoyl-L-valyl]-L-phenylalanine, with Ki = 4.7 x 10(-5) M, or bestatin, [(2S,3R)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutanoyl]-L-leucine, with Ki = 1.1 x 10(-4) M. According to amino acid sequence analysis, the N-terminal amino group seems to be blocked. The physiological function of the aminopeptidase (Jc-peptidase) has not been clarified in vivo.  相似文献

Analysis of properties of monoclonal antibodies to transmissible gastroenteritis virus using TO-163 strain     

E Honda  H Kanemaru  X Y Dong  M Ikuma  Y Somura  I Shibata  K Okazaki  T Kumagai 《Zentralblatt für Veterin?rmedizin. Reihe B. Journal of veterinary medicine. Series B》1990,37(9):660-667

Nineteen monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), reactive in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), with porcine transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) virus TO-163 were obtained. Of these MAbs, 5 showed neutralizing (NT) activity (x 3,200 to 25,600) against TO-163. One of the MAbs which had NT activity showed hemagglutination inhibition activity (x 5,120) too. 14 hybridomas of polypeptide specificity against TO-163 strain were developed from which 11, 2, and 1 were specific for protein E2, N, and E1, respectively. Immunofluorescence staining patterns in TGE virus-infected cells reacted with MAbs were divided into three groups (types I, II and III). The fluorescence staining of E2 specific MAbs having NT activity were limited to the perinuclear area. All MAbs having NT activity showed the same fluorescence staining pattern.  相似文献   

Detection of bovine rhinotracheitis virus antibody by neutralizing test and ELISA in experimentally infected rabbits.     

E Honda  T Taniguchi  M Watanabe  T Kumagai 《Zentralblatt für Veterin?rmedizin. Reihe B. Journal of veterinary medicine. Series B》1991,38(1):55-59

The antibody response of rabbit to infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus was examined. Two rabbits were inoculated with IBR virus strain Los Angeles into the trachea and intravenously, and intravenously two times, respectively. The patterns of antibody titers in the rabbits measured by neutralization test and ELISA were similar to those in the case of bovine. The antibody was detected after the inoculation, and much more antibody was detected after the second inoculation. The fact suggests that rabbits are a very useful laboratory animal for IBR virus infection studies.  相似文献   

Experimental infection of pregnant goats with swine fever virus     

M Shimizu  T Kumagai 《Veterinary microbiology》1989,20(3):207-214

Thirteen pregnant goats were inoculated intravenously with the ALD strain of virulent swine fever (SF) virus on Days 64-84 of gestation. Dams showed transient and mild viremia, and produced high serum neutralizing (SN) antibody after inoculation. Six inoculated dams were reared until parturition occurred and bore six apparently normal, one apparently normal but dead, one mummified and three edematous kids. Neutralizing antibody was demonstrated in the pre-colostral sera obtained from all normal kids, but no SF virus was isolated from any of them. The other seven dams were killed on post-inoculation days (PID) 5-61, and fetuses, placenta and amnion were tested for the virus and SN antibody. All fetuses of five dams examined within PID 40 were positive for SF virus, but negative for SN antibody. SF virus was also isolated from one of three fetuses examined on PID 61. Conversely, the other two fetuses examined on PID 61 were negative for SF virus, but positive for SN antibody. Furthermore, SF virus was isolated from the placenta and amnion of all the dams.  相似文献   

Quantitative structure-activity studies of benzoylphenylurea larvicides: I. Effect of substituents at aniline moiety against Chilo suppressalis walker

The larvicidal activity of a series of N-2,6-difluoro- and N-2,6-dichlorobenzoyl-N′-(4-substituted phenyl)ureas against nondiapause larvae of the rice stem borer, Chilo suppressalis Walker, was measured by topical application and oral administration methods under conditions with and without piperonyl butoxide as an inhibitor of oxidative metabolism. The effects of substituents at the anilide moiety on the larvicidal activity were analyzed quantitatively using physicochemical substituent parameters and regression analysis. The results indicate that the oxidative metabolism in the larval body which is favored by electron-donating substituents is significant in determining the activity. The activity, when the metabolic factor is eliminated, is enhanced by electron-with-drawing and hydrophobic substituents and lowered by bulky groups. The inhibitory activity against new cuticle formation of the same series of compounds was also measured using cultured integument of the rice stem borer diapause larva. The comparison of the quantitative analyses between larvicidal and integument-level activities shows that inhibition of cuticular development is the most important factor governing larvicidal activity.  相似文献

Attempt at in vitro maturation of minke whale (Balaenoptera Bonaerensis) oocytes using a portable CO2 incubator     

Iwayama H  Ishikawa H  Ohsumi S  Fukui Y 《The Journal of reproduction and development》2005,51(1):69-75

The present study was conducted to investigate whether a portable CO2 incubator was effective for in vitro maturation (IVM) of bovine, porcine and minke whale oocytes, and the effect of maturation media supplemented with different hormones; porcine follicle stimulating hormone (pFSH), estradiol-17beta (E2), or pregnant mare's serum gonadotropin (PMSG): human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) for minke whale immature oocytes was also examined. In vitro maturation rates of bovine and porcine oocytes cultured in the portable CO2 incubator were not significantly different from the standard CO2 incubator. In minke whale IVM culture using the portable incubator, the maximum expansion of cumulus mass was observed by pFSH/E2 and PMSG/hCG at the end of IVM culture. Moreover, the IVM culture period was shortened to 28-30 h from 96-120 h previously reported. The proportion of matured oocytes cultured in the medium supplemented with pFSH/E2 (26.7%) was significantly higher (P<0.05) than that with PMSG/hCG (6.9%). The present study indicates that a portable CO2 incubator is a useful device for minke whale IVM culture on a research base ship, and the addition of pFSH/E2 into an IVM medium enhanced cumulus expansion and the proportion of minke whale matured oocytes.  相似文献
