Eleven bacterial strains 17SD2_15, 17Sr1_23, 17SD2_13, 17Sr1_31, 17gy_18, 16B15D, 16B02D, 16B04G, 16B01D, 17U4-2 and 17J28-10 assigned to the phylum Proteobacteria were isolated from soil samples collected from Seoul Women's University, in South Korea. The Belnapia species, strain 17SD2_15 was cocci-shaped and pink-colored. The Methylobacterium species, strain 17Sr1_23, 17SD2_13, 17Sr1_31, and 16B15D were short rod-shaped and pink-colored. The Microvirga species, strain 17gy_18, and 16B02D were short rod-shaped and pink-colored. The Oxalicibacterium species, strain 16B04G was short rod-shaped and pink-colored. The Sphingomonas species, strain 16B01D was short rod-shaped and yellow-colored. The Variovorax species, strain 17U4-2 was cocci-shaped and yellow-colored. The Paracoccus species, 17J28-10 was cocci-shaped and orange-colored. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that strains 17SD2_15, 17Sr1_23, 17SD2_13, 17Sr1_31, 17gy_18, 16B15D, 16B02D, 16B04G, 16B01D, 17U4-2 and 17J28-10 were most closely related to Belnapia soli (with 99.9% similarity), Methylobacterium gregans (99.1%), Methylobacterium isbiliense (99.6%), Methylobacterium oxalidis (99.9%), Microvirga aerilata (98.7%), Methylobacterium aerolatum (99.0%), Microvirga vignae (100.0%), Noviherbaspirillum canariense (100.0%), Sphingomonas desiccabilis (100.0%), Variovorax humicola (99.6%), and Paracoccus acridae (99.1%), respectively. This is the first report of these eleven species in Korea.

Glucuronidation은 NNAL [4-(methylnitrosamno)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol]의 주요 pathway이며, UGT2B의 family인 UGT2B17 (UGT, uridine diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase) 유전자는 발암원의 glucuronidation에 관여 한다. UGT2B17 결손은 NNAL의 감소 수준과 특정 암에 있어 위험도를 증가시킨다. UGT2B17 유전자의 copy 수는 사람에서 개인별로 0~2로 다양하다. 본 연구에서는 UGT2B17 결손이 폐암의 위험도와 연관성을 가지는 가를 알아보기 위해 한국인인 271명의 대조군과 176명의 폐암환자의 샘플로 PCR 방법으로 CNV를 조사하였다. 그 결과, 현재까지 보고된 백인과 흑인에 비해 한국인에서 결실 대립형질이 현저히 높게 나타났다. 백인에서 유전자 두 개 모두가 결실된 0 copy 수가 약 10%를 나타낸 것에 비해, 본 연구의 한국인에서는 0 copy 수가 약 74%를 나타내었다. 더욱이 양 쪽 결실이 여성그룹에서 전반적으로 남성그룹에 비해 높게 나타났다. 그러나 UGT2B17 유전자가 CNV와 폐암과의 연관성은 찾을 수 없었다. 이러한 결과는 UGT2B17 유전자의 결실이 폐암의 감수성과는 연관되어 있지 않으나, UGT2B17 CNV 다형성이 인종간의 진화적 분석의 유용한 마커로 사용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

We identified four new bovine tri-nucleotide microsatellite loci and analyzed their sequence structures and genetic parameters in 105 randomly selected Korean cattle (Hanwoo). Allele numbers of the loci B17S0808, B15S6253, B8S7996, and B17S4998 were 10, 11, 12, and 29, respectively. These alleles contained a simple or compound repeat sequences with some variations. Allele distributions of all these loci were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P > 0.05). Observed heterozygosity and expected heterozygosity ranged from 0.54 (B15S6253) to 0.92 (B17S4998) and from 0.599 (B15S6253) to 0.968 (B17S4998), respectively, and two measures of heterozygosity at each locus were highly correlated. Polymorphism information content (PIC) for these 4 loci ranged from 0.551 (B15S6253) to 0.932 (B17S4998), which means that all these loci are highly informative (PIC > 0.5). Other genetic parameters, power of discrimination (PD) and probability of exclusion (PE) ranged from 0.783 (B15S6253) to 0.984 (B17S4998) and from 0.210 (B15S6253) to 0.782 (B17S4998), respectively. Their combined PD and PE values were 0.9999968 and 0.98005176, respectively. Capillary electrophoresis revealed that average peak height ratio for a stutter was 13.89% at B17S0808, 26.67% at B15S6253, 9.09% at B8S7996, and 43.75% at B17S4998. Although the degree of genetic variability of the locus B15S6253 was relatively low among these four microsatellite markers, their favorable parameters and low peak height ratios for stutters indicate that these four new tri-nucleotide microsatellite loci could be useful multiplex PCR markers for the forensic and population genetic studies in cattle including Korean native breed.

KIF1B${\beta}$ is a member of the Kinesin superfamily proteins (KIFs), which are microtubule-dependent molecular motors that are involved in various intracellular organellar transport processes. KIF1B${\beta}$ is not restricted to neuronal systems, however, is widely expressed in other tissues, even though the function of KIF1B${\beta}$ is still unclear. To elucidate the KIF1B${\beta}$-binding proteins in non-neuronal cells, we used the yeast two-hybrid system, and found a specific interaction of KIF1B${\beta}$ and the sorting nexin (SNX) 17. The C-terminal region of SNX17 is required for the binding with KIF1B${\beta}$. SNX17 protein bound to the specific region of KIF1Bf3 (813-916. aa), but not to other kinesin family members. In addition, this specific interaction was also observed in the Glutathione S-transferase pull-down assay. An antibody to SNX17 specifically co-immunoprecipitated KIF1B${\beta}$ associated with SNX17 from mouse brain extracts. These results suggest that SNX17 might be involved in the KIF1B${\beta}$-mediated transport as a KIF1B${\beta}$ adaptor protein.

A mutant was selected by NTG treatment of Mycobacterium sp. NRRL B-3805, which was capable of degrading plant sterol to androsta-4-ene-3, 17-dione and yields was higher than NRRL B-3805. Also this mutant produced androst-4-ene-3, 17-dione faster than NRRL B-3805. It described the mode of sitosteroidal degradation, and the interrelation between cell membrane and its attachment to substrate during the sterol degradation process by this mutant and it was compared with Mvcobacterium sp. NRRL B-3805.

The stabilizing effects of $\alpha$-$\beta$-$\gamma$- and dimethyl-$\beta$-cyclodextrins $(\alpha$-, $\beta$-, $\gamma$- and DM-$\beta-$-CyDs) on the degradation of hydrocortisone 17-butyrate (HC-17B) in aqueous solution was investigated. Hc-17B underwent a facile hydroxide ion-catalyzed rearrangement to the less active 21-butyrate ester by the apparent first-order kinetics, and maximum stability of HC-17B was obtained at around pH 4.0. The stability of HC-17B was increased by inclusion complexation with $\alpha$-, $\gamma$- and DM-$\beta$-CyD in the pH range of 2.0-8.0 examined, whereas $\beta$-CyD accelerated the degradation of HC-17B at the pH higher than 5.0. The effects of ionic strength, solvent, temperature and CyD concentration were also investigated. Stability constants and apparent degradation rate constants of HC-17B-$\gamma$-CyD and HC-17B-DM-$\beta$-CyD complexes were determined kinetically on the basis of 1:1 complexation. The results suggested that the inclusion complexation with $\gamma$-CyD or DM-$\beta$-CyD was most useful means to enhance the stability of the steroid.

Syntheses of carbapenam skeletons were achieved from 1,3-propanediol through 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. 3-(Tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy)-(10) and 3-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy) propanal (13) were obtained from 1,3-propanediol. 3-Hydroxypropanals (10, 13, 14) were reacted with N-hydroxyglycine esters to give C-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N-alkoxycarbonylmethylnitrones (15a-15d). 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of the nitrones with methyl acrylate or ethyl crotonate gave 3-(2-hydroxyethyl)isoxazolidines (16a-16b, 17a-17b, 18, 19a-19b). 3-(2-Hydroxyethyl)isoxazolidines (17a, 17c, 19a, 19b) were converted to 3-(2-iodoethyl)isoxazolidines (21a-21d) or 3-phenylthiocarbonylmethylisoxazolidines (25a-25d) which were cyclized to give 2-oxa-1-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octanedicarboxylates (22a-22d, 26a-26d). 2-Oxa-1-azabicyclo[3.3.0]octane-4,8-dicarboxylates (22c-22d, 26c-26d) were transformed to 6-(l-hydroxyethyl)carbapenam-3-carboxylates (30a-30b, 31a-31b).

The preparation of Bacillus coagulans is used as a therapeutics for human intestinal disorders. However, the bacterium in the preparation is very susceptible to rifampic in and fluoroquinolones. When the preparation is taken with rifampicin or fluoroquinolones, its therapeutic effect can not be expected. So B. coagulans RFR17 resistant to rifampicin was obtained by treating the parent B. coagulans with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. B. coagulans OFR17 was produced by serial passage of B. coagulans RFR17 on agar with 2-fold minimal inhibitory concentration of ofloxacin or ciprofloxacin. B. coagulans OFR17 was resistant to fluoroquinolones up to 16~64 fold higher than that for the original strain. B. coagulans OFR17 also exhibited identical characteristics with the parent strain when they were tested for lactic acid production and growth inhibition of E. coli MB4-01 and Shigella sonnei MB4-10411. From in vitro test, it was also identified that rifampicin and ofloxacin are not inactivated by certain factors of B. coagulans OFR17. Conclusively, B. coagulans OFR17 can be regarded as a promising strain which can be developed as the preparation for the treatment of the intestinal disorders of the tuberculosis patients under rifampicin and ofloxacin therapy.

Pythium ultimum에 의한 뿌리썩음병을 생물학적으로 방제하기 위하여 이에 대한 항진균 활성이 있는 세균 Bacillus lentimorbus WJ5를 방사선 ($^{60}Co$)을 조사하여 보다 더 강한 항진균 활성을 가지는 돌연변이체 B. lentimorbus WJ5a17을 유도하였다. B. lentimorbus WJ5와 WJ5a17을 각각 활용한 미생물제제 FWJ5와 FWJ5a17을 조제하였으며 균체수는 $1.0\times 10^{11}$ CFU $g^{-1}$ 이였다. 미생물제제는 저장 30일째에도 항진균 세균이 $50.\times 10^{10}$ $g^{-1}$ 이상 생존하였고, 상토와 밭 토양에서는 $1.0\times 10^{7}$ CFU $g^{-1}$이상의 생존세포수를 유지하였다. 또한 P. ultimum의 포자발아를 B. lentimorbus WJ5 제제 (FWJ5)가 71.0% 억제하였고, B. lentimorbus WJ5a17 제제(FWJ5a17)는 81.4%억제하였다. 미생물제제인 FWJ5와 FWJ5a17은 고추, 배추와 무의 종자 발아와 초기생장에 유해한 영향을 주지 않을 뿐만 아니라, 작물 생육초기와 중기에 1회 처리하였을 경우에도 P ultimum에 의한 뿌리썩음병징의 발생을 유의하게 (p<0.05) 억제하였기에 매우 효과적인 생물학적 제어제임을 알 수 있었다.
