Proteus mirabilis 전사 조절($\underline{P}$roteus $\underline{m}$irabilis $\underline{t}$ranscription $\underline{r}$egulator ) 단백질의 중금속 결합 부위에 대한 아미노산 서열분석에서 PMTR 단백질은 ZntR (아연 저항성) 단백질이 아닌 CueR (구리 저항성) 단백질과 동일한 환경이다. 그리고 겔시프트 법(gel shift assay) 실험에 의하면 PMTR 단백질은 Escherichia coli의 zntA (zinc-translocating P-type ATPase gene) 프로모터에 결합하지 않고 copA (copper-translocating P-type ATPase gene) 프로모터와 Proteus mirabilis에서 atpase (copper-translocating P-type ATPase gene) 프로모터에 결합하였다. DNase I protection 실험에서 PMTR 단백질 결합부위와 DNase I 민감성 염기들이 관찰되었다. P. mirabilis atpase 프로모터에서 민감성 염기로 주형가닥(template strand)에서 C와 A 그리고 비주형가닥(non-template strand)에서 G와 C 염기들이다. 이런 민감성 염기들은 다른 MerR 패밀리 단백질에서 또한 관찰되었으며, 이것은 단백질에 의한 DNA bending을 의미한다.

Single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing allows identification of methylated DNA bases and methylation patterns/motifs at the genome level. Using SMRT sequencing, diverse bacterial methylomes including those of Helicobacter pylori, Lactobacillus spp., and Escherichia coli have been determined, and previously unreported DNA methylation motifs have been identified. However, the methylomes of Xanthomonas species, which belong to the most important plant pathogenic bacterial genus, have not been documented. Here, we report the methylomes of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines (Xag) strain 8ra and X. campestris pv. vesicatoria (Xcv) strain 85-10. We identified $N^6$-methyladenine (6mA) and $N^4$-methylcytosine (4mC) modification in both genomes. In addition, we assigned putative DNA methylation motifs including previously unreported methylation motifs via REBASE and MotifMaker, and compared methylation patterns in both species. Although Xag and Xcv belong to the same genus, their methylation patterns were dramatically different. The number of 4mC DNA bases in Xag (66,682) was significantly higher (29 fold) than in Xcv (2,321). In contrast, the number of 6mA DNA bases (4,147) in Xag was comparable to the number in Xcv (5,491). Strikingly, there were no common or shared motifs in the 10 most frequently methylated motifs of both strains, indicating they possess unique species- or strain-specific methylation motifs. Among the 20 most frequent motifs from both strains, for 9 motifs at least 1% of the methylated bases were located in putative promoter regions. Methylome analysis by SMRT sequencing technology is the first step toward understanding the biology and functions of DNA methylation in this genus.

본 논문에서는 기존의 conting 구성 프로그램의 단점인 단편들 간의 결합 실패를 보완하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 매우 긴 DNA의 염기 서열을 자동 서열 분석기로 한번에 분석 가능한 약 700개의 단편들을 한 주형으로 만들어 PCR 방법으로 클론 3을 생성 후, $600\sim700$개의 길이로 단편화하여 기준 주형과 비교하여 일치율을 계산한다. 이때 Compute Agreement 알고리즘을 이용하여 일치율을 계산하는 시간을 단축시킨다. 계산된 단편 쌍들의 중첩 정도를 기준으로 주형마다 2개의 결합 후보 단편을 추출하여 추출된 각 단편들의 일치율과 각 DNA 염기의 A,G,C,T 소속도 및 각 A,G,C,T 이 전 빈도수를 퍼지 추론 규칙을 이용하여 결합 여부를 판단한다. 본 논문에서는 결정된 최 적의 비교 단편을 결합하고, 더 이상 단편이 없을 때까지 반복하여 서열 결합을 완성한다. 실험을 위해 완성된 단백질 지놈인 'Synechocystis PCC6803'을 각각 1만개, 10만개씩 추출하여 $600{\sim}700$개의 길이를 가진 단편을 생성하였으며, 이 단편을 임 의의 mutation을 유발하여 실험한 결과, FAP 프로그램보다 속도가 줄어들었으며, conting 구성 프로그램의 단점 인 결합 실패가 발생하지 않았다.

Bis-[dipyrido[3,2-$\alpha$:2',3'-c]phenazine)$_2$(1,10-phenanthroline)$_2Ru_2$]$^{2+}$ complexes (bis-Ru(II) complexes) tethered by linkers of various lengths were synthesized and their binding properties to DNA investigated by normal absorption and linear dichroism spectra, and fluorescence techniques in this study. Upon binding to DNA, the bis-Ru(II) complex with the longest linker (1,3-bis-(4-pyridyl)-propane), exhibited a negative $LD^r$ signal whose intensity was as large as that in the DNA absorption region, followed by a complicate $LD^r$ signal in the metal-to-ligand charge transfer region. The luminescence intensity of this bis-Ru(II) complex was enhanced. The observed $LD^r$ and luminescence results resembled that of the [Ru(1,10-phenanthroline)$_2$ dipyrido[3,2-$\alpha$:2',3'-c]phenazine]$^{2+}$ complex, whose dipyrido[3,2-$\alpha$:2',3'-c]phenazine (dppz) ligand has been known to intercalate between DNA bases. Hence, it is conclusive that both dppz ligands of the bis-Ru(II) complex intercalate. The binding stoichiometry, however, was a single intercalated dppz per ~ 2.3 bases, which violates the "nearest binding site exclusion" model for intercalation. The length between the two Ru(II) complexes may be barely long enough to accommodate one DNA base between the two dppz ligands, but not for two DNA bases. When the linker was shorter (4,4'-bipyridine or 1,2-bis-(4-pyridyl)-ethane), the magnitude of the LD in the dppz absorption region, as well as the luminescence intensity of both bis-Ru(II) complexes, was half that of the bis-Ru(II) complex bearing a long linker. This observation can be elucidated by a model whereby one of the dppz ligands intercalates while the other is exposed to the aqueous environment.

To date, no 8-oxoguanine-specific endonuclease-coding gene has been identified in Thermotoga maritima of the order Thermotogales, although its entire genome has been deciphered. However, the hypothetical protein Tm1821 from T. maritima, has a helix-hairpin-helix motif that is considered to be important for DNA binding and catalytic activity. Here, Tm1821 was overexpressed in Escherichia coli and purified using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography, protease digestion, and gel filtration. Tm1821 protein was found to efficiently cleave an oligonucleotide duplex containing 8-oxoguanine, but Tm1821 had little effect on other substrates containing modified bases. Moreover, Tm1821 strongly preferred DNA duplexes containing an 8-oxoguanine:C pair among oligonucleotide duplexes containing 8-oxoguanine paired with four different bases (A, C, G, or T). Furthermore, Tm1821 showed AP lyase activity and Schiff base formation with 8-oxoguanine in the presence of $NaBH_4$, which suggests that it is a bifunctional DNA glycosylase. Tm1821 protein shares unique conserved amino acids and substrate specificity with an 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase from the hyperthermophilic archaeon. Thus, the DNA recognition and catalytic mechanisms of Tm1821 protein are likely to be similar to archaeal repair protein, although T. maritima is an eubacterium.

Bioinformatics is formed with a blend of biology and informatics technologies and it employs the statistical methods and approaches for attending the concerning issues in the domains of nutrition, medical research and towards reviewing the living environment. The ceaseless growth of DNA sequencing technologies has resulted in the production of voluminous genomic data especially the DNA sequences thus calling out for increased storage and bandwidth. As of now, the bioinformatics confronts the major hurdle of management, interpretation and accurately preserving of this hefty information. Compression tends to be a beacon of hope towards resolving the aforementioned issues. Keeping the storage efficiently, a methodology has been recommended which for attending the same. In addition, there is introduction of a competent algorithm that aids in exact matching of small pattern. The DNA representation sequence is then implemented subsequently for determining 2 bases to 6 bases matching with the remaining input sequence. This process involves transforming of DNA sequence into an ASCII symbols in the first level and compress by using LZ77 compression method in the second level and after that form the grid variables with size 3 to hold the 100 characters. In the third level of compression, the compressed output is in the grid variables. Hence, the proposed algorithm S_Pattern DNA gives an average better compression ratio of 93% when compared to the existing compression algorithms for the datasets from the UCI repository.

바이오컴퓨팅 기술이 발전함에 따라 DNA 정보를 매개물로 한 DNA 워터마킹에 대한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 DNA 정보는 일반 멀티미디어 데이터와는 달리 생물학적으로 중요한 정보이므로, 원본 DNA가 복원이 되는 가역성 DNA 워터마킹 기술이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 최소자승 (Least square) 예측오차 확장 (prediction error expansion) 기반으로 비부호 DNA 서열의 가역성 워터마킹 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 방법에서는 비부호 영역의 4-문자 염기서열들을 인접한 개 염기에 의한 정수형 부호계수로 변환한다. 그리고 현재 부호계수에 대한 최소자승 예측 오차를 구한 다음, 예측오차 확장 조건에 따라 결정된 비트수만큼 예측오차를 확장한다. 이때 은닉된 인접 염기서열 간의 비교탐색을 통하여 허위개시코돈 생성을 방지한다. 실험 결과로부터 제안한 예측오차 확장 방법이 기존 방법과 평균 예측오차 확장 방법보다 높은 워터마크 용량을 가지며, 생물학적 변이 및 허위개시코돈이 발생되지 않음을 확인하였다.

DNA computing 은 Adleman 실험 이후에 많은 여러 가지 최적화 문제에 적용되어 왔다. DNA computing의 장점은 스트링의 길이가 가변적이고 4가지 염기를 이용하기 때문에 복잡한 문제에 전역 최적점을 찾는데 기존의 다른 방법보다는 효율적이라는것이다. 본 논문에서는 이진 스트링의 개체 지단 위에서 모의진화를 일으켜 효율적으로 최적 해를 탐색하는 GA(Genetic Algorithms)와 생체 분자와 DNA를 계산의 도구 및 정보 저장도구로 사용하여 A(Adenine). C(Cytosine), G(Guanine), T(Thymine)등의 4가지 염기를 사용하는 DNA 코딩방법을 이용하여multi-modal 함수의 전역 최적점을 탐색하는 문제에서의 각각의 성능을 조사하였다. Selection, crossover, mutation등의 GA연산자를 DNA를 코딩에 동일하게 적용하였으며 최적의 해를 탐색하는데 걸리는 시간과 찾아낸 최적해의 값을 평가한다.을 평가한다.

The internal regions of nuclear small subunit rRNA from 6 plaeurotus species and 5 Pleurotus ostreatus strains were amplified by PCR and sequenced. The DNA sequences of 8 Pleurotus strains (P. ostreatus NFFA2, NFFA4501, NFFA4001, KFFA4001, KFCC11635, P florida, P. florida, P. sajor-cuju, P. pulmonarius, and P. spodoleucus) were idential, but P. cornucopiae differed from them in two bases out of 605 bases. However, p[hylogenetic analysis of the sequences by DNA-distance matrix and UPGMA methods showed that P. ostreatus NFFA2m1 and NFFA2m2, known as mutants of P. ostreatus NFFA2, belonged to anther group of Basidiomycotina, which is close to the genus Auricularia. The difference of the SSU rDNA sequences of P. cornucopiae from other Pleurotus species tested corresponds to the difference of mitochondrial plasmid type present in Pleurotus species as observed by Kim et al. (1993, Korean J. Microbiol. 31, 141-147).
