  • This study was performed to investigate the antimutagenic and antioxidative activities of pine pollen with respect to the microbial mutation induced by various mutagens such as 1-NP, daunomycin, 2-NF, MNNG, NaN$_3$, 4NQO, 4-NOPD, AFB$_1$, Trp-P-1, 2-AF and oxidative mutagens such as t-BOOH, H$_2$O$_2$. Pine pollen, originally extracted with hexane, was reextracted with 70% methanol. The results obtained using the methanol extract, in terms of the antimutagenicity observed in relation to ten kinds of mutagens, showed that it exhibited 17.8, 82.2 and 80.9% inhibitory effects against daunomycin, AFB$_1$, and Trp-P-1, respectively, in Salmonella. typhimurium TA98 and a 72.3% inhibitory effect against AFB$_1$in S. tyPhimurium TA100. In terms of the antimutagenicity exhibited in relation to t-BOOH, a 72.3% inhibitory effect was observed, but no antimutagenicity was observed in relation to the other mutagens and strains. The methanol extract was further fractionated by chloroform, ethyl acetate, n-butanol. In S. typhimurium TA98, the chloroform(150 $\mu\textrm{g}$/plate) fraction showed strong antimutagenic effects of 55.6%, 93.7% and 93.5%, while the ethyl acetate(100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/plate) fraction showed 11.4%, 74.3% and 85.2% in relation to the mutagenicity induced by daunomycin, AFB$_1$and Trp-P-1, respectively. In S. typhimurium TA100, the chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions showed antimutagenic effects of 95.1% and 62.5%, respectively, on the mutagenicity induced by AFB$_1$. In S. typhimurium TA102, the chloroform fraction showed an antimutagenic effect of 93.6% on the mutagenicity induced by t-BOOH.

  • Previously, six Schizosaccharomyce pombe mutants that induce pheromone even in the presence of nitrogen source were isolated from a bank of temperature sensitive mutants. In this report, one of these mutants, pws6 was further characterized. The pheromone induction in pws6 mutant cells was specific to nutrient: the M-factor pheromone was induced without nitrogen starvation but not without glucose starvation. This result suggests that the pws6 mutant might have a specific defect in the pathway for nitrogen starvation. The pws6 mutant induces P-factor pheromone as well as M-factor without starvation of nitrogen in temperature sensitive mode, suggesting that the pheromone induction phenotype of pws6 mutation is not cell-type specific. From cloning of the $pws6^+$ gene by complementation of the temperature sensitive growth defect, three plasmids containing 8.1 kb, 3.3 kb, and 4.8 kb yeast DNA were recovered. These plasmids complement the growth defect of the pws6 mutant by 100%, 70%, and 10~20%, respectively. The abilities of these plasmids to complement pheromone induction phenotype of pws6 mutant cells were correlated well with the efficiencies of complementation of the growth defect. With comparison of their open reading frames to the complementation efficiencies, it is concluded that the open reading frame, SPBC19C7.06 is responsible for the complementation of temperature sensitive phenotype of the pws6 mutant. This open reading frame, named prs1, contains one long exon with no intron and encodes a putative prolyl tRNA synthetase. The putative Prs1 protein exhibits significant similarities to the prolyl tRNA synthetases of other species.

  • 외판원(Traveling Salesman Problem)는 계산 복잡도가 매우 높으므로 이를 해결하려는 다양한 방법들이 제시되어 왔다. 최근에는 특히 휴리스틱(Heuristic) 에 기반한 유전 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithm)에 위한 방법이 관심을 집중시키고 있고, 이를 위한 다양한 교잡(Crossiver)연산자와 돌연변이(Mutation) 연산자들이 발표되고 있다. 돌연변이연산자는 지역해에 빠지는 것을 방지하며, 유용한 유전 특성을 잃어버릴 위험이 있는 교잡 연산자의 단점을 보완할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 돌연변이 연산자를 개발하여 적용한 유전 알고리즘으로 외판원 문제를 해결한다.

  • The antimutagenic effects of enzymatic browning reaction products (MEBRPs) of polyphenol compounds (catechol, homocatechol, hydroxyhydroquinone, pyrogallol) by enzyme extracted from mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) were demonstrated through spore rec-assay using B. subtilis $H17(rec^+)$ and $M45(rec^-)$, Ames test using S. typhimurium TA98 and TA100 and SOS chromotest using E. coli PQ37/plasmid pKM101. In spore rec-assay, the MEBRPs showed antimutagenic effects by decreasing of the inhibition zone induced by MNNG. In Ames test with S-9mix in both TA98 and TA100, all of MEBRPs showed strong antimutagenic effects of about 21 to 99% against mutation by $B({\alpha})P$ and Trp-P-1, as adding $300\;{\mu}l$ of the MEBRPs. In SOS chromotest, MEBRPs showed antimutagenic effects by inhibiting the SOS-inducing function induced by 4NQO and MMC, as increasing in concentration of the MEBRPs. But they did not showed mutagenicity in these bacterial assays.

  • Multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification (MLPA) is a PCR-based method to detect gene dosage. Since its introduction, MLPA has been used to test a large number of genes for major deletions or duplications. Genetic testing, as a diagnostic tool for genetic disease, has been used primarily to identify point mutations, including base substitutions and small insertions/deletions, using PCR and sequence analysis. However, it is difficult to identify large deletions or duplications using routine PCR- gel based assays, especially in heterozygotes. The MLPA is a more feasible method for identification of gene dosage than another routine PCR-based methods, and better able to detect deleterious deletions or duplications. In addition to detection of gene dosage, MLPA can be applied to identify methylation patterns of target genes, aneuploidy during prenatal diagnoses, and large deletions or duplications that may be associated with various cancers. The MLPA method offers numerous advantages, as it requires only a small amount of template DNA, is applicable to a wide variety of applications, and is high-throughput. On the other hand, this method suffers from disadvantages including the possibility of false positive results affected by template DNA quality, difficulties identifying SNPs located in probe sequences, and analytical complications in quantitative aspects.

  • Mutations in the human connexin 32 (Cx32) gene are responsible for X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMTX) disease. Although over 300 different mutations have been identified the detailed molecular etiology of CMTX disease is poorly understood. Several studies reported that connexin membrane channels share most biophysical properties with their parental gap junction channels. In this study, two connexin mutant membrane channels (one mutant channel called the M34T channel in which the methionine residue at the $34^{th}$ position of the Cx32 protein is replaced with threonine residue and the other mutant channel called the T86C channel in which the threonine residue at the $86^{th}$ position is replaced with cysteine residue) associated with CMTX mutations were characterized at the single-channel level instead of using mutant gap junction channels. The biophysical properties of the M34T channel were very similar to those of the gap junction channel formed by M34T mutation. In addition, the mutant membrane channel study revealed the reversal of the gating polarity, the loss of fast gating and the gain of slow gating. The T86C channel also behaves like its parental wild type Cx32 membrane channel. Taken together, these results suggest that a study using connexin membrane channels is useful to characterize CMTX mutants.

  • Aflatoxin $B_1$ ($AFB_1$) was reacted with ascorbic acid (AA) alone, with AA plue cysteine and with AA plus cupric ion for 5 days (at $37^{\circ}C$ and pH 5), and the mutagenicity of the reaction products was tested with Salmonella typhimurium TA 100. About 10% of AFBl induced mutagenesis was reduced when $AFB_1$ reacted with AA. This decreasing effect was more severe when $AFB_1$ reacted with AA plus cysteine. The mutagenicity of $AFB_1$ when reacted with AA plus cupric ion was almost completely inhibited, however, eupric ion itself was shown to enhance the mutagenicity of $AFB_1$. Therefore, $AFB_1$ may be degraded in the presence of AA under the given reaction condition and the reaction products was observed to have nonmutagenic effects on the bacterial mutagenecity trials.
