β- N-Acetyl- D-glucosaminidase ( NAGase, EC3.2.1.52) is a composition of the chitinases and cooperates with endo-chitinase and exo-chitinase to disintegrate chitin into N-acetylglucosamine. Pacific White Shrimp (P. vannamei) NAGase is involved in digestion and molting processes. Some pollutants in seawater affect the enzyme activity causing loss of the biological function of the enzyme, which affects the exuviating shell and threatens the survival of the animal. The effects of acetic anhydride on the enzyme activity for the hydrolysis of pNP-NAG have been studied. The results show that acetic anhydride can lead to reversible non-competitive inhibition at appropriate concentrations, and the IC50 is estimated to be 9.0 mmol/L. The equilibrium constants have been determined for acetic anhydride binding with the enzyme and/or the enzymesubstrate complexes. Inhibition kinetics of acetic anhydride on the enzyme has been studied using the kinetic method of the substrate reaction. The results suggest that at pH 6.2, the action of acetic anhydride on the enzyme is first quick equilibrium binding and then slow inhibition. The microscopic rate constants have been determined for inhibition and reactivation. The results show that k + 0 is much larger than k - 0, indicating the enzyme is completely inactivated at sufficiently large modificator concentration.

Objective To investigate the expression of microRNA-134 ( miR-134 ) , CREB and pCREB in the temporal lobe tissue of patients and epileptic rats and to explore their roles in pathogenesis of epilepsy.Methods Tempo-ral lobe tissue samples of 14 patients with refractory epilepsy and 10 non-epileptic patients, and hippocampus and brain tis-sue samples of 42 rats were used in this study.Forty-two healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided in-to 6 epilepsy groups (24 h, 72 h, 7 d, 14 d, 30 d, and 60 d after kindling epilepsy) and a normal control group (n=6 for all groups) .The rat model of epilepsy was generated by intraperitoneal injection of 127 mg/kg lithium chloride and 16-20 h later, 35 mg/kg pilocarpine.In the temporal lobe tissue of patients and hippocampal tissue of rats, the expression level of miR-134 was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction.The expression levels of CREB and pCREB were de-termined by Western blot, and CREB and pCREB localization was assessed by immunohistochemistry.Results Compared with the control rats, the expression of miR-134 was significantly decreased in the temporal lobe tissue of experimental rats at 72 h,7 d,14 d, 60 d after kindling (P<0.05),and no significant change at 24 h and 30 d after kindling (P>0.05). Expression of miR-134 in patients with refractory epilepsy was significantly lower than that of the controls ( P<0.05 ) , while up-regulation of CREB expression was at the same time points (P<0.05).Up-regulation of pCREB expression was at all the time points after kindling (P<0.05).CREB and p-CREB expressions were seen in the nuclei of neurons, and significantly higher in patients with refractory epilepsy and epileptic rats.Conclusions The expression of miR-134 is sig-nificantly decreased and that of CREB and pCREB was significantly increased in the temporal lobe tissue of patients with re-fractory epilepsy and the hippocampal tissue of epileptic rats.These findings indicate that the signaling pathway of miR-134/CREB/pCREB may play an important role in the pathogenesis of epilepsy.
