Mobile genetic segments, or transposons, are also referred to as jumping genes as they can shift from one position in the genome to another, thus inducing a chromosomal mutation. According to the target site-specificity of the transposon during a transposition event, the result is either the insertion of a gene of interest at a specific chromosomal site, or the creation of knockout mutants. The former situation includes the integration of conjugative transposons via site-specific recombination, several transposons preferring a target site of a conserved AT-rich sequence, and Tn7 being site-specifically inserted at attTn7, the downstream of the essential glmS gene. The latter situation is exploited for random mutagenesis in many prokaryotes, including IS (insertion sequence) elements, mariner, Mu, Tn3 derivatives (Tn4430 and Tn917), Tn5, modified Tn7, Tn10, Tn552, and Ty1, enabling a variety of genetic manipulations. Randomly inserted transposons have been previously employed for a variety of applications such as genetic footprinting, gene transcriptional and translational fusion, signature-tagged mutagenesis (STM), DNA or cDNA sequencing, transposon site hybridization (TraSH), and scanning linker mutagenesis (SLM). Therefore, transposon-mediated genetic engineering is a valuable discipline for the study of bacterial physiology and pathogenesis in living hosts.

Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is an etiological agent of chronic diseases in cows worldwide. The BLV is one of retroviruses that contain a multi-functional enzyme, reverse transcriptase produced from the pol gene in its genome. We have sequenced some regions in the pol gene of BLV proviruses found in the Southern province of Korea from samples that turned out to be BL V positives by a PCR analysis. On the 5' side of the BLV pol gene (polymerase region), it was found that there were four leucines located at every 7 amino acids. They can form a leucine zipper motif that was not same as the pol gene of Japanese BLV isolate. The sequencing result of the proviral pol gene in Korean-type BLV also revealed some mutations leading to amino acid changes such as $CCT(Pro){\to}CTC(Leu)$, $AAT(Asn){\to}AAA(Lys)$, and non-sensible variations i.e., $TCT(Ser){\to}TCC(Ser)$, $ATT(Ile){\to}ATC(I1e)$ and $ACG(Thr){\to}ACA(Thr)$. On the 3' side of the pol gene (integrase region), some nucleotide sequences were mutated and led to amino acid changes. Among them, a mutation, $GAA(Glu){\to}GAC(Asp)$ occurred in many Korean-type BLV proviruses was very interesting because the amino acid was regarded as one of the most conserved amino acids in the retroviral integrase. It was also notable that the mutation on any leucine residue did not occur, in spite of its frequent appearance.

In order to increase the production of tryptophan by maximizing expression of recombinant trp plasmid, Klebsiella pneumoniae KC 105(pheA tyrA trpE trpR tyrR) was genetically modified. KC 107, inosine monophospate(IMP) auxotroph from KC 105 and KC 108, histidine(His) auxotroph from KC 107 were also derived respectively to increase phosphoribosylpyrophosphate(PRPP) production which is required for tryptophan biosynthesis. From KC 107 phosphoribosylpyrophosphate consumption which is required for tryptophan biosynthesis. From KC 107 and KC 108, KC 109 and KC 110, both arginine auxotrophs were derived respectively. To investigate the expression of recombinant trp plasmid in the selected K. pneumoniae mutants, the auxotrophic mutants were transformed with recombinant trp plasmids pSC 101-$trpE^{FBR}$, pSC 101-trpL(.DELTA.att) $trpE^{FBR}$ (pSC 101-trp-AF). Amount of tryptophan produced and activities of tryptophan synthase of $trpR^{-}$ mutant (KC 100) and $tyrR^{-}$ mutnat(KC 105) containing recombinant plasmid pSC 101-trp operon were increased by 30-40% as compared with KC 99(pheA tyrA trpE) containing recombinant plasmid pSC 101-trp operon. Activities of tryptophan synthase and production of tryptophan of KC 108 ($His^{-}$) and KC 109($Arg^{-}$) containing recombinant plasmid pSC 101-trp operon were increase by two-fold as compared with KC 107 containing pSC 101-trp operon.

Attenuated PSM lithography 공정에서 overlay margin 확보 및 side-lobe 제거를 위해 기존의 Cr shield 방식의 단점인 복잡한 mask 제작공정과 구조를 단순화하기 위한 방법으로 scattering bar 방식을 제안하였다. Scattering bar는 Cr 보조패턴처럼 완전히 빛을 차단하는 것이 아니라 약간의 빛을 투과시켜 보강된 intensity를 상쇄하므로 side-lobe를 억제하는 방법으로 metal pattern을 생성할 때 scattering bar도 동시에 만들어 mask제작에 필요한 공정횟수를 줄이고 mask구조 역시 단순하게 한다 그리고 동시에 DOF(depth of focus)를 향상시킨다. Background clear pattern의 경우에 발생하는 side-lobe도 scattering bar를 이용하여 효율적으로 제거되었다.

Stepping into the technological boom time, Vietnam has integrated into the trends of using Fintech applications as a new means of payment. This article evaluates the relationship between perceived security (including service security and platform security), knowledge, confirmation, perceived usefulness, satisfaction, attitude and lastly enterprise's images regarding the service and continuous intention to use Fintech services. The survey results of 352 Vietnamese customers using Fintech services, reliability test and extended post-acceptance model (EPAM) which is based on PAM and ECT models. From the survey, we further found out that perceived security (BSS) has no direct impact on continued intention to use, while perceived security (BSS) has positive impact on confirmation (CON), similarly, perceived usefulness (PU) and user's satisfaction (SES). Knowledge of the Mobile Fintech payment service (KNOW) has a positive impact on perceived security (BSS). Confirmation (CON) has a positive influence on perceived usefulness but in the meanwhile it has created a negative impact on user's satisfaction (SES). From the survey it can also tell that user's attitude (ATT) and enterprise image (IMG) both have a positive impact on continual intention to use Fintech services. From the research results, we also propose some recommendation to enhance the continual intention to use Fintech services in Vietnam.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Tremoctopus violaceus was sequenced to analyze its organization and phylogenetic status within the order Octopoda. The mitochondrial genome of T. violaceus had a structure and organization similar to that of other Octopoda. The content of the nucleotides A, C, G, and T was 31.68 %, 7.71 %, 20.02 %, and 40.58 %, respectively. All protein-coding genes (PCG) began with the ATG codon, excluding ND4 and ATP6, which began with ATC and ATT, respectively, and terminated with TAG, TAA, TA, or T. Codons for isoleucine were the most used codons, whereas those for arginine were used the least. Two extra tRNAs, trnN and trnL, were found in the control region. These tRNAs have a D-armless structure. The control region had excess A + T content (83.16 %) and a stem-loop structure with two elements, which is reported for the first time in Octopoda by our study. Bayesian inference using 13 PCG revealed that Octopus and Octopodidae were polyphyletic, and that Tremoctopodidae diverged relatively earlier within Octopoda. The mitochondrial genome of T. violaceus and its characteristics may help to understand the evolutionary history of Octopoda and establish a marine biodiversity conservation strategy.

Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a causative agent for lymphoma disease in cattle including cows worldwide. BLV shares similar virion structure and characteristics with other retroviruses. The pol gene of the BLV genome produced reverse transcriptase (RT) and integrase (IN) for important roles for BLV genome integration into host cell chromosomes that is known to be coded in the 3' side of the BLV pol gene (one third portion). In this study, we have sequenced 978 bp in the 3' side of the BLV pol gene from BLV 10C3 in order to determine the BLV IN region of it. And we compared it to the nucleotide sequences of an Australian BLV isolate. As a result, nucleotide sequences of the IN region of the Korean-type BLV pol gene were mutated at a rate of 3.7%. We can confirm that the typical mutations are such as Arg (AGG) $\rightarrow$ Lys (AAG), Thr (ACG) $\rightarrow$ Met (ATG), Ile (ATT) $\rightarrow$ Val (GTT), Asn (ACC) $\rightarrow$ His (CAC), Phe (TTT) $\rightarrow$ Leu (TTG) and Asn (ACC) $\rightarrow$ Asp (GAC). From the analysis of the sequencing data, we were able to determine the zinc-finger-like "HHCC" motif in the amino terminus of BLV IN, that was H-$X_3$-H-$X_{25}-C-X_2$-C. It was also found the DD35E motif in the IN catalytic domain as D-$X_{56}$-D-$X_{35}$-E. It fits very well to the consensus sequences of retroviral IN as well as HHCC motif.
