신규 병원성세균 Bacillus thuringiensis CAB565, 566균주를 이용한 산업배지에서의 배양조건에 따른 독소단백질의 차이를 확인하였다. 포도당, 효모추출물 등으로 구성된 산업배지의 산소 전달 속도를 확인하고자 소형배양기에서 임펠러와 배지 농도에 따른 산소전달계수(KLa)의 차이를 확인하였다. 교반기의 통기량이 많을수록 그리고 배지 농도가 높아질수록 산소전달계수(KLa) 값이 상승하였다. 하지만 교반속도는 200 rpm에서 가장 효율적이었고, 교반속도가 상승할수록 효과가 떨어졌다. Microsparger를 이용하여 배양 중 단계적으로 통기속도를 높여 배지내 용존산소농도를 50% 이상으로 유지시켜 배양한 결과 생균수는 배양 후 16시간, 포자수는 54시간에 최대의 농도값을 보였다. 그 결과, B.t. CAB565의 생균수는 $2.3{\times}10^{10}cell/ml$, 포자수는 $1.9{\times}10^{10}spore/ml$ 그리고 B.t. CAB566의 생균수는 $1.8{\times}10^{10}cell/ml$, 포자수는 $1.4{\times}10^{10}spore/ml$를 보였다. 탄소원의 농도는 포도당의 농도가 5%일 때, 세포성장에 가장 유리한 것으로 조사되었다.

A CAB cDNA vector(pKGCAB), encoding the light harvesting chlorophyll a/b binding protein in Korean ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer), was constructed with the CaMV35S promoter of plant expression vector. The chimeric vector was transformed into tobacco(Nicotiana tabacum cv. NC 82) using Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA 4404 strain, and the transgenic tobacco plant CAB-TP2 was selected. Photosynthetic rates of the CAB-TP2 plant at before-flowering stage were increased about 20% under low irradiance conditions of quantum 100 and 500 $\mu$mol.m$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ , however, the rates were similar to those of NC 82 under quantum 1000 and 2000 $\mu$mol.m$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ conditions. The plants were germinating under low- or normal irradiance condition and the quantum yield of photosystem III were measured. The differences of the Fv/Em values between conditions were 0.07 and 0.01 in NC 82 and CAB-TP2, respectively. The mature leaves in the position 8-10 of the CAB-TP2 at before-flowering stage revealed l0% higher Fv/Fm values in range of 0.759 to 0.781 and 40% more chlorophyll contents of 70-93mg/$m\ell$ than those of normal NC 82. These data suggest the possibility that the increase in photosynthetic activity of leaves under low light intensity in the canopy of CAB-TP2 transgenic tobacco might lead to increase the quality of lower tobacco leaves.

Light regulates a variety of genes in higher plants. The expression of light-induced plant genes is regulated at the level of transcription via red- light photomorphogenic receptor, phytochrome, as well as unknown blue light photoreceptor(s). Ribulose-5-phosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) small subunit (SSB) and light harvesting chlorophyll a/b (Cab) protein are those of the best understood genes regulated by light. 5'-upstream flanking sequence (- -400) of Rubisco SSB and Cab genes sis known as a light responsive, enhance-like element. It responses to red and blue light in transgenic plant system as a tissue specific manner. Phytochrome gene is also regulated by light. In contrast to most of the light regulated plant genes, it is negatively controlled by red light. Search for the cis- and trans-acting factors responsible for the light signal is in progress to understant photomorphogenesis and development in higher plants.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies, with a very poor prognosis. Despite significant improvements in diagnosis and treatment in recent years, the long-term therapeutic efficacy is poor, partially due to tumor metastasis, tecurrence, and resistance to chemo-or radio-therapy. Recently, it was found that a major feature of tumors is a combination of unrestrained cell proliferation and impaired apoptosis. There are now 8 recogized members of the IAP-family: NAIP, c-IAP1, c-IAP2, XIAP, Survivin, Bruce, Livin and ILP-2. There proteins all contribute to ingibition of apoptosis, and provide new potential avenues of cancer treatment. As a powerful tool to suppress gene expression in mammalian cells, RNAi species for inhibiting IAP genes cab be directed against cancers. This review will provide a brief introduction to recent developments of the application IAP-siRNA in tumor studies, with the aim of inspiring future treatment of HCC.

The circadian clock is an internal system that is synchronized by external stimuli, such as light and temperature, and influences various physiological and developmental processes in living organisms. In the model plant Arabidopsis, transcriptional, translational and post-translational processes are interlocked by feedback loops among morning- and evening-phased genes. In a post-translational loop, plant-specific single-gene encoded GIGANTEA (GI) stabilize the F-box protein ZEITLUPE (ZTL), driving the targeted-proteasomal degradation of TIMING OF CAB EXPRESSION 1 (TOC1) and PSEUDO-RESPONSE REGULATOR 5 (PRR5). Inherent to this, we demonstrate the novel biochemical function of GI as a chaperone and/or co-chaperone of Heat-Shock Protein 90 (HSP90). GI prevents ZTL degradation as a chaperone and facilitates ZTL maturation together with HSP90/HSP70, enhancing ZTL activity in vitro and in planta. GI is known to be involved in a wide range of physiology and development as well as abiotic stress responses in plants, but it could also interact with diverse client proteins to increase protein maturation. Our results provide evidence that GI helps proteostasis of ZTL by acting as a chaperone and a co-chaperone of HSP90 for proper functioning of the Arabidopsis circadian clock.

It is known that Bacillus subtilis glutamyl-tRNA synthetase (GluRS) mischarges E. coli $tRNA_{1}$$^{Gln}$ with glutamate in vitro. It has also been established that the expression of B. subtilis GluRS in Escherichia coli results in the death of the host cell. To ascertain whether E. coli growth inhibition caused by B. subtilis GluRS synthesis is a consequence of Glu-$tRNA_{1}$$^{Gln}$ formation, we constructed an in vivo test system, in which B. subtilis GluRS gene expression is controlled by IPTG. Such a system permits the investigation of factors affecting E. coli growth. Expression of E. coli glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase (GlnRS) also amelio-rated growth inhibition, presumably by competitively preventing $tRNA_{1}$$^{Gln}$ misacylation. However, when amounts of up to 10 mM L-glutamine, the cognate amino acid for acylation of $tRNA_{1}$$^{Gln}$, were added to the growth medium, cell growth was unaffected. Overexpression of the B. subtilis gatCAB gene encoding Glu-$tRNA^{Gln}$ amidotransferase (Glu-AdT) rescued cells from toxic effects caused by the formation of the mis-charging GluRS. This result indicates that B. subtilis Glu-AdT recognizes the mischarged E. coli Glu-$tRNA_{1}$$^{Gln}$, and converts it to the cognate Gln-$tRNA_{1}$$^{Gln}$ species. B. subtilis GluRS-dependent Glu-$tRNA_{1}$$^{Gln}$ formation may cause growth inhibition in the transformed E. coli strain, possibly due to abnormal protein synthesis.

자기 현가적(self-sustaining) 조절 장치인 생체시계는 24시간 주기의 생체리듬을 조절하며 또한 생물체로 하여금 매일 변화하는 자연환경의 외부 신호를 인지할 수 있도록 해준다. 생체시계 유전자의 발현 조절은 전사/해독의 역환류 기작을 통해 이루어진다. 애기장대 LATE ELONGATED HYPOCOTYL (LHY)와 CIRCADIAN CLOCK-ASSOCIATED 1 (CCA1)는 아침에 최고조로 발현되며 해독된 LHY and CCA1는 저녁에 최고로 발현되는 TIMING OF CAB EXPRESSION1 (TOC1)의 발현을 억제한다. TOC1단백질은 LHY와 CCA1 발현을 촉진시킴으로써 생체시계의 핵심 진자(oscillator)를 형성한다. 동물에서 생체시계의 주요 전사 인자인CLOCK은 아세틸화효소 활성 기능을 가지며, 이는 생체시계의 기능 유지에 아세틸화의 중요함을 의미한다. 하지만 애기장대 생체시계에 아세틸화를 담당하는 인자에 대한 정보는 현재 보고된 바가 없다. 본 연구에서 DET1 (De-Etiolated1)는 암조건하에서 애기장대 생체시계 관련 핵심인자 중 하나인 LHY발현을 억제하는데 필요하며 이의 억제는 H3Ac 조절을 통해 이루어짐을 증명하였다. 하지만 LHY 아세틸화를 담당하는 효소의 발굴 및 이들 효소와 DET1과의 연결을 찾는 문제는 여전히 미재로 남아있다.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are single-stranded, small RNAs (21-23 nucleotides) that function in gene silencing and translational inhibition via the RNA interference mechanism. Most miRNAs originate from host genomic regions, such as intergenic regions, introns, exons, and transposable elements (TEs). Here, we focused on the palindromic structure of medium reiteration frequencies (MERs), which are similar to precursor miRNAs. Five MER consensus sequences (MER5A1, MER53, MER81, MER91C, and MER117) were matched with paralogous transcripts predicted to be precursor miRNAs in the horse genome (equCab2) and located in either intergenic regions or introns. The MER5A1, MER53, and MER91C sequences obtained from RepeatMasker were matched with the eca-miR-544b, eca-miR-1302, and eca-miR-652 precursor sequences derived from Ensembl transcript database, respectively. Each precursor form was anticipated to yield two mature forms, and we confirmed miRNA expression in six different tissues (cerebrum, cerebellum, lung, spleen, adrenal gland, and duodenum) of one thoroughbred horse. MER5A1-derived miRNAs generally showed significantly higher expression in the lung than in other tissues. MER91C-derived miRNA-5p also showed significantly higher expression in the duodenum than in other tissues (cerebellum, lung, spleen, and adrenal gland). The MER117-overlapped expressed sequence tag generated polycistronic miRNAs, which showed higher expression in the duodenum than other tissues. These data indicate that horse MER transposons encode miRNAs that are expressed in several tissues and are thought to have biological functions.
