RESUMEN
We report a 70-year-old patient with sarcoidosis associated with psoriasis vulgaris. He had a nodule on the medial lower lid of his right eye. Oral corticosteroid for the sarcoid lesions and oral PUVA for psoriasis were employed. The cutaneous lesion disappeared within two months after starting the therapy. No relapse of sarcoidosis has been seen for eight years. The association of sarcoidosis with psoriasis has been previously reported; however, it is still unclear whether this association coincidental or meaningful.

Cysteine endopeptidases, SH-EP from Vigna mungo and EP-C1 from Phaseolus vulgaris, act to degrade seed storage protein during seed germination. Using transgenic tobacco plants, expression of SH-EP and promoter activity of the EP-C1 gene were analyzed in transgenic tobacco plants. The promoters of the two genes in tobacco seeds showed germination-specific activation, although post-translational processing of SH-EP and regulatory regions of promoter of the gene for EP-C1 were found to differ between leguminous seeds and transgenic tobacco seeds.
