It has been said that amino acid transporters play an important role in supplying nutrition to normal and cancer cells and for cell proliferation. System L is a major nutrient transport system responsible for the Na+-independent transport of large neutral amino acids including several essential amino acids. In malignant tumors, a system L transporter L-type amino acid transporter 1(LAT1) is up-regulated to support tumor cell growth. In the present study, we have examined the function of LAT1 and its expression in the KB human oral epidermoid carcinoma cells. RT-PCR, western blot analysis and immunohistochemical analysis have revealed that KB cells express LAT1 in the plasma membrane together with its associating protein 4F2hc, whereas KB cells do not express the other system L isoform LAT2. The uptake of L-[14C]leucine by KB cells is Na+-independent and almost completely inhibited by system L selective inhibitor BCH. The profiles of the inhibition of L-[14C]leucine uptake by amino acids in the KB cells are comparable with those for the LAT1 expressed in Xenopus oocytes. The majority of L-[14C]leucine uptake is, therefore, mediated by LAT1 in the KB cells. These results suggest that the uptakes of neutral amino acids including several essential amino acids in the KB oral epidermoid carcinoma cells mediated by LAT1. In addition, specific inhibition of LAT1 by such agents as BCH in human oral squamous cell carcinomas will be a new rationale for anti-cancer therapy.

These N-acyl amino acid surfactants is normally produced by reaction of acid anhydride with sodium l-glutamate hydrolysates under Schotten-Baumann condition i.e., in alkaline aqueous medium. To avoid using fatty acid chlorides, acylations were also carried out with the fatty acids themselves or with their methyl esters, but unfortunately these methods cannot be used in practice, dodecenyl succinic anhydride, was to be studied for their suitability as acylating agents the production if acylated glutamine hydrolysates. The surface activities including surface tension forming power, forming stability and emulsifying power were measured. The experimental results revealed that the products have a good emulsifying power. Thus, there derivatives will be expected to be used an emulsifying agent for O/W type cosmetic emulsion.

A series of long chain N-acyl amino acid type anionic surfactants were prepared by treating fatty acid chlorides with three kinds of amino acids, that is, sodium N-acyl-sarcosinates, sodium N-acyl-N-methyl-β-alaninates and sodium N-acyl-N-methyl-taurates in an alkaline solution. All prepared biodegradable surfactants were purified by thin layer chromatography and column chromatography, and identified their structures by spectral analysis.

A variation of free sugar and free amino acid contents of apples during the ripening period was determined by HPLC and amino acid analyzer. The research results are as followes: Fructose, glucose and sucrose were present in the apples. The contents of fructose was the highest, followed by the order of sucrose and glucose. The contents of total sugar in Red fuji was relatively higher than that of Fuji. During the ripening period, the contents of fructose increased conspicuously for the harvesting season and then it decreased gradually. The contents of glucose increased gradually for the harvesting season and then it somewhat decreased. The contents of sucrose increased continually, while, the contents of total free sugar reached the maximum for the harvesting season and then it decreased gradually. A variation in the contents of free amino acid and composition during the ripening period didn't make a significant difference. The major free amino acid of the apples was in the order of aspartic acid, serine, threonine, glutamic acid, histidine, arginine, and alanine. During the ripening period, aspartic acid, threonin, serine, alanine, histidine, and arginine increased gradually. Especially, alanine, histidine, and arginine increased remarkably after the the harvesting season. Glutamic acid, valine, isoleucine, and leucine didn't show much change. The contents of total amino acid increased little by little as the apples ripened, dranstically increased during the harvesting season and slowly increased or slightly decreased after the harvesting seasom.

본 연구에서는 전기투석법을 이용하여 아미노산 수용액중에 존재하는 전해질인 무기염의 분리 정제에 관하여 고찰하였다. 생물 분리기술로서 아미노산의 등전위점을 이용한 전기투석법의 적합성을 검토하기 위하여 음이온교환막, NEOSEPTA AM1(Tokuyama Soda Co. Ltd., Japan)과 양이온교환막 CM1 (Tokuyama Soda Co. Ltd., Japan)막을 사용한 전기투석조를 설계하였고 아미노산 발효공정과 유사한 계를 만들어서 무기염인 NaCl의 분리실험을 하였다. 즉, 운전조건을 설정하기 위해 pH에 따른 아미노산의 누설량, 한계전류 밀도를 측정한 후, 이를 바탕으로 회분식과 연속식 실험으로 염의 제거량과 아미노산의 누설량을 정량적으로 고찰하고 전류효율을 구하였다. 회분식 장치에서 아미노산 수용액별로 11시간동안 운전한 결과 NaCl의 제거효율은 96.1~96.2%이었고, 아미노산의 누설율은 glycine의 경우 2.5%, methionine의 경우 1.7%, alanine의 겨우 2.0%이었으며, 전류효율은 44.5~44.6% 범위이었다. 연속식 장치에서는 아미노산 수용액별로 dilution rate을 1.0~3.9h-1로 변화시켜 실험한 결과, 120~150분 사이에 정상상태에 도달하였고, 유속이 작을수록 염의 제거 효율은 증가하였으나 전류효율은 감소하였다. 이때 아미노산의 누설은 거의 없었다.
