  • A cDNA encoding desiccation-related protein was isolated from a flower bud cDNA library of Chinese cabbage (C-DH) and its nucleotide sequence was characterized. It contains 679 bp nucleotides with 501 bp open reading frame. The amino acid sequence of the putative protein showed the highest amino acid sequence homology (79 % identity) to dehydrin protein in Gossypium hirsutum. Also, the C-DH shares 48-52% amino acid sequence identity with the other typical dehydrin proteins in plant cells. When the amino acid sequence of their proteins were aligned, several peptide motifs were well conserved, of which function has to be solved. Particularly the C-DH contains 15 additional amino acids at its N-terminus. Genomic Southern blot analysis using the coding region of C-DH showed that the C-DH consists of a single copy gene in Chinese cabbage genome. The C-DH mRNA, whose transcript size is 0.7 kb, was expressed with a tissue-specific manner. It was highly expressed in seed, flower buds and low expression as detected in root, stem or leaf tissues of Chinese cabbage. And the transcript level of C-DH was significantly induced by the treatment of plant hormone, abscisic acid and water-deficit conditions.

  • 이 연구의 목적은 agarase를 생산하는 새로운 해양 박테리아를 분리하는 것이다. Agarase는 agarose를 가수분해하여 다양한 생리활성을 가지는 agarooligosaccharides 또는 neoagarooligosaccharides를 생성할 수 있다. 전라남도의 여수연안에서 채취한 해수로부터 DH-3 균주를 분리하였다. DH-3 균주는 16S rDNA 서열분석을 통하여 Persicobacter sp. DH-3로 명명하였다. 세포 외로 분비된 효소는 Persicobacter sp. DH-3의 배양액으로부터 얻었으며, 특성연구에 사용하였다. 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 및 $70^{\circ}C$에서의 온도별 상대활성은 각각 50, 55, 70, 100, 90 및 50%였다. pH 5, 6, 7 및 8에서의 pH별 상대활성은 각각 75, 100, 90, 75%였다. 본 효소는 20 mM Tris-HCl 완충액에서 pH 6.0 및 $50^{\circ}C$에서 최대활성을 나타내었다. 본 효소는 한천이 액체상태로 존재하는 $50^{\circ}C$에서 최대활성을 나타내었으므로 산업적으로 유용한 효소로 판단된다. 본 효소는 20, 30 및 $40^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 동안 열처리하여도 80% 이상의 잔존활성을 보였다. TLC 분석결과, Persicobacter sp. DH-3 균주의 한천분해효소는 네오한천올리고당인 neoagarohexaose와 neoagarotetraose를 생성하였으므로 ${\beta}$-agarase로 확인되었다. Zymogram 분석결과, Persicobacter sp. DH-3는 적어도 45, 70 및 140 kDa 크기의 3종류 이상의 한천분해효소를 생산하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러므로, Persicobacter sp. DH-3 유래 agarase는 기능성을 가진 neoagarooligosaccharides의 생산에 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • This paper demonstrates the in-house development of the subsystem C&DH in a D-SAT satellite project of Astronautic Technology (M) Sdn. Bhd. (ATSB). D-SAT is a non-imaging satellite. It will carry a dosimeter as the payload for scientific objectives. Since one of the D-SAT project establishment intended objectives is to demonstrate the research and development skill of the ATSB engineers on the satellite system building, most of the subsystems of the D-SAT are developed in-house including the C&DH subsystem. C&DH subsystem plays an important role for managing data handling tasks and general operation of the satellite system. The C&DH development includes the research and study on the hardware and software design, the design of both the hardware and software, the development of the software system, the integration between the software and the hardware system and the implementation of the subsystem into the satellite system. This program allows ATSB to accomplish the engineers with expertise not only in the C&DH subsystem but other subsystems too besides developing knowledge in the management of a space project that covers not only on the technical issues but issues relating to the economic, political and legal issues.

  • Diapause hormone (DH) is a neuropeptide hormone which is secreted from the suboesophageal ganglion (SG) and is responsible for induction of embryonic diapause of the silkworm, Bombyx mori. DH is isolated from SGs and determined to be a 24 amino acid peptide amide. The cDNA encodes the polyprotein precursor from which DH, pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide (PBAN) and three other neuropeptides are released and become matured. The C-terminal FXPRL-NH2 sequence of DH is essential but not sufficient for expression of full activity. Recently, we have isolated a unique hydrohobic peptide (VAP peptide) with a slight diapause egg induceing activity from organic solvent extracts of the male adult heads of the silkworm. The VAP peptide itself has no diapause inducing activity, but enhances DH activity through reducing ED50 value and the threshold concentration of DH. The DH-PBAN gene is composed of 6 exons interrupted by 5 introns and is expressed in 12 neurosecretory cells of the SG. The incubation of eggs at 25$^{\circ}C$, which induces embryonic diapause in the progeny, caused DH-PBAN mRNA content to increase at 5 different stages in the life cycle. By contrast, a 15$^{\circ}C$ incubation only induced expression of the gene at the late phrase adult stage. The temperature-controlled expression of DH-PBAN gene is closely correlated to the incidence of diapause, indicating that DH-PBAN gene expression is the initial event leading to diapause induction. DH acts to stimulate trehalase activity in developing ovary to bring about hyprglycogenism in mature eggs, a prerequisite metabolism for diapause initiation. Using in vivo and in vitro systems, DH is clearly shown to induce trehalase gene expression in developing ovaries. New protein synthesis is not needed for this process, but a Ca2+-dependent proteinkinase seems to be involved. Quite recently, we have sucessfully applied a new and potent trehalase inhibitor (Trehazoline) to reudce glycogen content in developing ovaries. The eggs deficient in glycogen were also able to enter diapause as the natural eggs do, so that we could provide the new egg system to reconsider the diapause associated metabolism other than the glycogen-sorbitol metabolic system.

  • 호염성세균 H. subglaciescola DH-1은 염화나트륨이 없거나 0.8 M 이하로 존재하는 환경에서 생장하지 못한다. 이 호혐성세균은 2.0 M의 염화나트륨이 존재하는 조건에서는 최적온도($30^{\circ}C$)보다 높은 $40^{\circ}C$에서 생장이 가능하였으나, 0.8 M의 염화나트륨이 존재하는 조건에서는 생장이 크게 저하되었다. 세포추출물을 염화나트륨이 존재하는 조건에서 $50^{\circ}C$로 1시간 동안 열처리하였을 때 세포내 효소의 활성이 유지되었으나, 염화나트륨이 없는 조건에서 열처리하였을 때 효소의 활성은 유지되지 않았다. 반면, 대장균의 세포추출물의 효소활성은 1.0 M이상의 염화나트륨이 존재할 때 온도 또는 pH와 관계없이 측정되지 않았다. H. subglaciescola DH-1은 pH $7{\sim}10$의 범위에서 생장하였고, 생장을 위한 최적 pH는 8이었다. 이러한 생리적인 특성으로부터 염화나트륨은 H. subglaciescola DH-1의 물질대사를 위한 필수적인 무기영양소라는 사실을 유추할 수 있다.

  • In the Doritaenopsis hybrid, like most of the orchid species and hybrids, temperature is crucial for the vegetative-to-reproductive transition, and low temperature is required for bud differentiation. To understand the molecular mechanism of this process, an orchid GIGANTEA (GI) gene, DhGI1, was isolated and characterized by using the rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) PCR technique. Sequence analysis showed that the full-length cDNA is 4,022 bp with a major open reading frame of 3,483 bp, and the amino acid sequence showed high similarity to GI proteins in Zea mays, Oryza sativa, Arabidopsis thaliana and other plants. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR revealed that DhGI1 was expressed throughout development and could be detected in roots, stems, leaves, peduncles and flower buds. The expression level of DhGI1 was higher when the plants were flowering at low temperature (22/$18^{\circ}C$ day/night) than the other growth stages. Further analysis indicated that the accumulation of DhGI1 transcripts was significantly increased at low temperature, and concomitantly, initiation of the peduncle was observed. However, DhGI1 levels were low under high temperature (30/$25^{\circ}C$) conditions, and flower initiation was inhibited. These results indicate that the expression of DhGI1 is regulated by low temperature and that DhGI1 may play an important role in inflorescence initiation in this Doritaenopsis hybrid at low temperatures.

  • Amino acid analogs, like other inducers of stress response, induce the synthesis of stress proteins in mammalian cells. In this study, Drosophila Kc cells, in which translation is tightly controlled during stress response, was treated with proline analogs, L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid (AzC) and 3,4-dehydro-L-proline (dh-P). Kc cells exposed to AzC or dh-P induced the synthesis of several proteins which had the same molecular weights as known heat shock proteins. However, in Kc cells, normal protein synthesis still continued in the presence of amino acids analogs unlike in heat-shocked cells. For the induction of stress response, the incorporation of dh-P into the protein was not essential, but the incorporation of AzC was. The stress protein synthesis was regulated mainly at the transcriptional level by AzC, whereas it was regulated by dh-P at the transcription level and possibly posttranscription level. During recovery, the stress protein synthesis stopped sooner in analog-treated cells than in heat-shocked cells even though the accumulated amount of Hsp70 was much less in proline analogstreated cells. It could be concluded that the proline analogs, AzC and dh-P, induced stress response through a different mechanism from heat shock.

  • We developed a mass production method that simultaneously controls the phase transformation and crystal size of $TiO_2$ coatings on multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Initially, MWCNTs were successfully coated with amorphous 15-20-nm-thick $TiO_2$ by an in-situ sol-gel method. As the calcination temperature increased in both air and argon atmospheres, the amorphous $TiO_2$ was gradually transformed into the fully anatase phase at approximately $600^{\circ}C$, a mixture of the anatase and rutile phases at approximately $700^{\circ}C$, and the fully rutile phase above approximately $800^{\circ}C$. The crystal size increased with increasing calcination temperature. Moreover, above $600^{\circ}C$, the size of crystals formed in air was approximately twice that of crystals formed in argon. The reason is thought to be that MWCNTs, which continuously supported the stresses associated with the reconstructive phase transformation, disappeared owing to complete oxidation in air at these high temperatures.
