복숭아순나방(Grapholita molesta)의 세 가지 성페로몬 성분(Z8-12:Ac, E8-12:Ac, Z8-12:OH)이 알려져 있으며, 이들은 상용화되어 해충집단 모니터링과 교미교란에 응용되고 있다. 그러나 이들 상용화 제품들을 살펴보면, 성페로몬 성분비 및 각 방출기에 들어있는 유효성분 량에서 있어서 상이했다. 본 연구는 성페로몬을 이용한 복숭아순나방 모니터링에 있어서 수컷 유인과 포획에 대한 변동을 줄 수 있는 요인들을 밝히고, 이들 요인의 최적화를 시도하였다. 이를 위해 성페로몬 성분비 및 함량, 유효방출기간 그리고 트랩 형태 및 설치높이를 분석하였다. 이상적 모니터링을 위해서는 높은 농도(96% 이상)의 Z8-12:Ac 성분이 효과적이었다. 그러나 방출기에 들어 있는 성페로몬 함량은 $0.01-1\;{\mu}g$ 농도에서 야외 설치 이후 90일 동안(6-9월) 차이가 없었다. 트랩은 델타형이 원뿔형 보다 효과적이었으며, 이 트랩의 위치는 과수의 수관부위가 수컷을 유인하는 데 이상적이었다. 이러한 이상적 모니터링 변수를 이용하여 정기적으로 화학농약살포가 이뤄지는 안동 지역의 사과농가에서 복숭아순나방을 모니터링한 결과, 4-5월에 있는 월동세대 이후 3-4회의 성충발생 피크를 감지할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 키토산/젤라틴 블랜드 필름의 상용성을 평가하기 위하여 solution casting 방법을 이용하여 필름을 제조하였고, 키토산/젤라틴 블랜드 필름의 분자수준에서 블랜드 조성비율에 따른 유리전이온도의 변화를 측정하였다. 또한 블랜드 필름 제조시 가소제로 사용된 glycerol과 고분자내에 존재하는 수분이 키토산, 젤라틴 및 이들의 블랜드 필름에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. TGA 분석결과, 젤라틴이 키토산 보다 열적 안정성이 우수하였고, 블랜드 내에서 두 구성고분자의 관능기 사이에 상호작용이 일어나기 때문에 블랜드 된 키토산 필름의 열적 안정성은 수분과 가소제가 첨가되지 않은 순수한 키토산 필름 보다 우수하였다. 또한 수분 및 가소제의 첨가유무에 따라서 고분자 주쇄의 분해개시 온도에는 영향을 미치지 않았다. DMA 분석결과, 키토산/젤라틴 블랜드 필름에서 키토산의 함량이 증가할수록 $T_g$는 변화하였다. 전체적인 tan ${\delta}$ 곡선을 관찰할 때 블랜드 조성비율에 따라 $T_g$는 단일 곡선을 나타내었고, 젤라틴의 함량이 증가함에 따라 $T_g$는 증가하였다. 젤라틴의 히드록시기와 키토산의 히드록시기 또는 아미노기 등의 극성기들 사이의 분자내 및 분자간에 존재하는 강한 상호작용에 의해서 키토산과 젤라틴 고분자들 사이에 우수한 상용성이 나타났다. 또한 키토산, 젤라틴 및 블랜드 필름에서 수분과 가소제는 두 구성고분자의 열적특성에 큰 영향을 미쳤지만, 블랜드의 상용성에는 크게 영향을 미치지 않았다. 따라서 키토산/젤라틴 블랜드 필름을 이용하여 의료부문이나 식품포장 등 다양한 분야에 응용을 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

We previously reported that Skp1, a component of the Skp1-Cullin-F-box protein (SCF) complex essential for the timely degradation of cell cycle proteins by ubiquitination, physically interacts with Bfa1, which is a key negative regulator of the mitotic exit network (MEN) in response to diverse checkpoint-activating stresses in budding yeast. In this study, we initially investigated whether the interaction of Skp1 and Bfa1 is involved in the regulation of the Bfa1 protein level during the cell cycle, especially by mediating its degradation. However, the profile of the Bfa1 protein did not change during the cell cycle in skp1-11, which is a SKP1 mutant allele in which the function of Skp1 as a part of SCF is completely impaired, thus indicating that Skp1 does not affect the degradation of Bfa1. On the other hand, we found that the skp1-12 mutant allele, previously reported to block G2-M transition, showed defects in mitotic exit and cytokinesis. The skp1-12 mutant allele also revealed a specific genetic interaction with ${\Delta}bfa1$. Bfa1 interacted with Skp1 via its 184 C-terminal residues (Bfa1-D8) that are responsible for its function in mitotic exit. In addition, the interaction between Bfa1 and the Skp1-12 mutant protein was stronger than that of Bfa1 and the wild type Skp1. We suggest a novel function of Skp1 in mitotic exit and cytokinesis, independent of its function as a part of the SCF complex. The interaction of Skp1 and Bfa1 may contribute to the function of Skp1 in the mitotic exit.

Procaspase-8 is activated by forming a death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) with the Fas-associated death domain (FADD) and the Fas receptor, but the mechanism of its activation is not well understood. Procaspase-8 devoid of the death effector domain at its N-terminus (${\Delta}nprocaspase-8$) was reported to be activated by kosmotropic salts, but it has not been induced to form a DISC in vitro because it cannot interact with FADD. Here, we report the production of full-length procaspase-8 and show that it is activated by adding the Fas death domain (Fas-DD) and the FADD forming the cytoplasmic part of the DISC (cDISC). Furthermore, mutations known to affect DISC formation in vivo were shown to have the same effect on procaspase-8 activation in vitro. An antibody that induces Fas-DD association enhanced procaspase-8 activation, suggesting that the Fas ligand is not required for low-level activation of procaspase-8, but that Fas receptor clustering is needed for high-level activation of procaspase-8 leading to cell death. In vitro activation of procaspase-8 by forming a cDISC will be invaluable for investigating activation of ligand-mediated apoptosis and the numerous interactions affecting procaspase-8 activation.

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is now the pre-eminent vertebrate model system for clarification of the roles of specific genes and signaling pathways in development. I will talk about positional cloning of two developmental mutants in zebrafish. The first mutant is headless: The vertebrate organizer can induce a complete body axis when transplanted to the ventral side of a host embryo by virtue of its distinct head and trunk inducing properties. Wingless/Wntantagonists secreted by the organizer have been identified as head inducers. Their ectopic expression can promote head formation, whereas ectopic activation of Wnt signalling during early gastrulation blocks head formation. These observations suggest that the ability of head inducers to inhibit Wntsignalling during formation of anterior structures is what distinguishes them from trunk inducers that permit the operation of posteriorizing Wnt signals. I describe the zebrafish headless (hdl) mutant and show that its severe head defects are due to a mutation in T-cell factor-3 (Tcf3), a member of the Tcf/Lef family. Loss of Tcf3 function in the hdl mutant reveals that hdl represses Wnt target genes. I provide genetic evidence that a component of the Wntsignalling pathway is essential in vertebrate head formation and patterning. Second mutant is mind bomb: Lateral inhibition, mediated by Notch signaling, leads to the selection of cells that are permitted to become neurons within domains defined by proneuralgene expression. Reduced lateral inhibition in zebrafish mib mutant embryos permits too many neural progenitors to differentiate as neurons. Positional cloning of mib revealed that it is a gene in the Notch pathway that encodes a RING ubiquitin ligase. Mib interacts with the intracellular domain of Delta to promote its ubiquitylation and internalization. Cell transplantation studies suggest that mib function is essential in the signaling cell for efficient activation of Notch in neighboring cells. (중략)

A new photoconducting polymer, diphenyl hydrazone-substituted polysiloxane, was successfully synthesized by the hydrosilylation method and characterized by FT-IR, $^1$H-NMR, and $^{29}$ Si-NMR spectroscopy. The glass transition temperature (T$_{g}$) of the polysiloxane having pendant diphenyl hydrazone was ca. 62 $^{\circ}C$, which enabled a component of a low-T$_{g}$ photorefractive material to be prepared without the addition of any plasticizers. This polysiloxane, with 1 wt% of $C_{60}$ dopant, showed a high photoconductivity (2.8 ${\times}$ 10$^{-12}$ S/cm at 70 V/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) at 633 nm, which is necessary for fast build-up of the space-charge field. A photorefractive composite was prepared by adding a nonlinear optical chromophore, 2-{3-[2-(dibutylamino)-1-ethenyl]-5,5-dimethyl-2-cyclohexenylidene} malononitrile, into the photoconducting polysiloxane together with $C_{60}$ . This composite shows a large orientation birefringence ($\Delta$n = 2.6 ${\times}$ 10$^{-3}$ at 50 V/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) and a high diffraction efficiency of 81 % at an electric field of 40 V /${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.textrm}{m}$.EX>.

This study was conducted to prepare salmon patty using muscle separated from salmon frame (SPFM) and to investigate the food component characterization. When compared to salmon patty with fillet muscle (SPM), SPFM was lower in the moisture content, while it was higher in crude lipid content. However, no differences in the ash and protein contents between SPFM and SPM were found. Compared to SPM, the Hunter color value in cross section of cooked SPFM was higher in a and $\Delta$E values, while the color was lower in Land b values. Trichloroacetic acid soluble-N content of SPFM was 279 mg/100 g, which was insignificantly different (P>0.05) compared to those of SPM and commercial patty. The hardness of SPFM was 0.44 kg/$cm^2$, which was insignificantly different (P>0.05) compared to that of SPM, while was higher than that of commercial patty. The major fatty acids of SPFM were 16:0 (16.5%), 18:1n-9 (29.2%) and 18:2n-6 (26.1%). The 20:5n-3 and 22:6n-3 were also detected in high composition. The total amino acid content of SPFM was 16.6 g/100 g, which was similar to that of SPM. However, the total amino acid of SPFM was 14% higher than that of commercial patty. From the results of the mineral content, SPFM was higher than that of SPM in Fe and Ca, while the K in SPFM was lower. According to the result of sensory evaluation on the color, flavor and taste, no significant differences in all sensory items between SPFM and SPM were found.

Chronic pain is a multifactorial condition with both physical and psychological symptoms, and it affects around 20% of the population in the developed world. In spite of outstanding advances in pain management over the past decades, chronic pain remains a significant problem. This article provides a mechanism- and evidence-based approach to improve the outcome for pharmacologic management of chronic pain. The usual approach to treat mild to moderate pain is to start with a nonopioid analgesic. If this is inadequate, and if there is an element of sleep deprivation, then it is reasonable to add an antidepressant with analgesic qualities. If there is a component of neuropathic pain or fibromyalgia, then a trial with one of the gabapentinoids is appropriate. If these steps are inadequate, then an opioid analgesic may be added. For moderate to severe pain, one would initiate an earlier trial of a long term opioid. Skeletal muscle relaxants and topicals may also be appropriate as single agents or in combination. Meanwhile, the steps of pharmacologic treatments for neuropathic pain include (1) certain antidepressants (tricyclic antidepressants, serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors), calcium channel ${\alpha}2-{\delta}$ ligands (gabapentin and pregabalin) and topical lidocaine, (2) opioid analgesics and tramadol (for first-line use in selected clinical circumstances) and (3) certain other antidepressant and antiepileptic medications (topical capsaicin, mexiletine, and N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor antagonists). It is essential to have a thorough understanding about the different pain mechanisms of chronic pain and evidence-based multi-mechanistic treatment. It is also essential to increase the individualization of treatment.

Spindle position checkpoint monitors the orientation of mitotic spindle for proper segregation of replicated chromosomes into mother cell and the daughter, and prohibits mitotic exit when mitotic spindle is misaligned. BUB2 forms one of the key upstream element of spindle position checkpoint in budding yeast, but its functional homologues have not been identified in higher eukaryotes. Here, we analyzed the functions of two putative BUB2 homologues of C. elegans in the spindle orientation checkpoint. From the C. elegans genome database, we found that two open reading frames (ORFs), F35H12_2 and C33F10_2, showed high sequence homology with BUB2. We obtained the expressed sequence tag (EST) clones for F35H12_2 (yk221d4) and C33F10_2 (yk14e10) and verified the full cDNA for each ORF by sequencing and 5' RACE with SL1 primer. The functional complementation assays of yk221d4 and yk14e10 in ${\Delta}bub2$ of S. cerevisiae revealed that these putative BUB2 homologues of C. elegans could not replace the function of BUB2 in spindle position checkpoint and mitotic exit. Our attempt to document the component of spindle position checkpoint in metazoans using sequence homology was not successful. This suggests that structural information about its components might be required to identify functional homologues of the spindle position checkpoint in higher eukaryotes.
