Judul: Isolasi dan purifikasi inhibitor RNA helikase virus hepatitis C dari bakteriosin bakteri asam laktat S34
Abstrak: Target molecular therapy is one of method to prevent hepatitis C virus which was developed recently. NS3 Helicase/RNA helicase hepatitis C virus inhibition using inhibitory peptide are target in molecular therapy. Bacteriocin are inhibitory peptides which can inhibit hepatitis C virus through inhibition of NS3 helicase. Bacteriocin is a peptide which is produced by lactic acid bacteria. The aim of this research were to isolate and to purify bacteriocin from S34 lactic acid bacteria which has high activity to inhibit RNA helicase of hepatitis C virus. S34 lactic acid bacteria were identified using 16S RNA amplification and DNA sequencing identification of S34 lactic acid bacteria was Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1. The bacterial growth reached logaritmic phase at 7 hours and stationary phase at 10 hours. Bacteriocin were isolated and purified by ammonium sulphate precipitation with 80% saturation, gel filtration chromatography, and characterization of bacteriocin through molecular weight analysis and measured protein concentration. Bacteriocin from S34 lactic acid bacteria were included in 2nd class bacteriocin, had 64.20 % of inhibition against RNA helicase hepatitis C virus, had molecular weight about 1.7-4.2 kDa, and specific activity in the amount of 2.84 x 106 U/mg.

Abstrak: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is the second most common chronic viral infection in the world with global prevalence. This infection is contribution to chronic hepatitis and liver cirrhosis, often leading to hepatocellular carcinoma. There is no effective drug and vaccine available against HCV. The current standard treatment, a combination of pegylated interferon-α with ribavirin, is limited by its suboptimal response rate in a significant patient population, side effects, and affordability. Therefore, development of effective drug is needed. One approach to find out the candidate of antiviral drug is to discover the inhibitor of enzyme that essential for virus replication, such as RNA helicase. Streptomyces chartreusis 5-095 produce the inhibitor of HCV RNA helicase. The aim of this study was to purify the protein inhibitor which has inhibition activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV from S. chartreusis 5-095. The supernatant of culture S. chartreusis 5-095 exhibited high inhibiton activity against ATPase activity of RNA helicase HCV (approximately 72%) at 10 days of incubation. The extracellular protein inhibitor was partially purified by procedures of precipitation with ammonium sulfate to 65% saturation and gel filtration (Sephadex G50) using methanol water solution (4:6) as an eluen. The purity of protein inhibitor was monitored by SDS PAGE. The protein inhibitor showed a relative molecular mass were estimated to be 14 kDa and increased the purity 23,08 fold than those of the crude protein. The specific activity and IC50 after purification were 13,1338 U/mg and 0,0767 mg/mL, respectively. The activity of purified protein inhibitor showed its stability over pH range from 5-8 and optimum at pH 7,4. The inhibition activity showed its stability up to 70% at temperature 100 oC. The purified protein inhibitor relatively stable its activity at storage in the range of -20 oC to room temperature for 35 days.

Judul: Konsep Taman Rumah Adat Bagas Godang Berbasis Budaya Mandailing, Kabupaten Mandailing Natal, Sumatera Utara.
Abstrak: Kekayaan suatu bangsa tidak terbatas pada kekayaan sumber daya alamnya akan tetapi juga kekayaan budayanya. Taman rumah tradisional merupakan salah satu kekayaan budaya di Indonesia yang dapat menjadi identitas dari suatu budaya tersebut. Budaya Mandailing sudah dikenal sejak abad ke-14 M. Hal tersebut dibuktikan dengan penyebutan nama Mandailing di kitab Negara Kertagama, karangan Mpu Prapanca. Budaya Mandailing awalnya banyak dipengaruhi oleh kepercayaan animisme dan dinamisme yang disebut sipelebegu. Kemudian perkembangan selanjutnya budaya Mandailing bersinggungan dengan Hindu- Budha. Akan tetapi Islam membawa pengaruh yang sangat besar terhadap budaya Mandailing. Hal tersebut dibuktikan dengan adanya filosofi hombar do adat dohot ibadat yaitu adat tidak boleh bertentangan dengan agama. Dalihan Natolu merupakan konsep kekerabatan yang banyak mempengaruhi nilai-nilai kehidupan masyarakat Mandailing. Konsep Dalihan Natolu menjadi konsep dasar yang mempengaruhi pola permukiman adat Mandailing. Dalihan Natolu terdiri dari mora, anak boru, dan kahanggi. Hubungan antara ketiga komponen ini menentukan jarak antar rumah di permukiman adat. Suatu permukiman terdapat Rumah tinggal yang merupakan landmark dari berdirinya suatu permukiman. Rumah tinggal ini disebut Bagas Godang. Bagas Godang bagi masyarakat Mandailing bukan hanya sebagai rumah tinggal seorang raja atau tunggani huta. Godang bermakna sebagai rumah bagi seluruh marga di huta adat tersebut. Bagi masyarakat Mandailing raja tidak hanya berperan sebagai penguasa huta adat, akan tetapi mereka adalah orang yang dituakan yang dapat menyelesaikan berbagai masalah di permukiman adat tersebut. Komplek Bagas Godang terdiri dari Bagas Godang atau kediaman raja, Sopo Godang yaitu tempat peyimpanan instrument alat music dan musyawarah, serta biasanya memiliki Sopo Eme atau lumbung padi, serta Alaman Bolak Selangseutang merupakan halaman.
