  • A Korean isolate of Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV-Kr) was isolated from a diseased hot pepper plant and its biological and molecular properties were compared to that of PMMoV-J and PMMo V -So The genomic RNA of PMMoV-Kr consists of 6,356 nucleotides. The nucleotide and amino acid sequences identities of four viral proteins and two noncoding regions among PMMoV-Kr, PMMoV-S and PMMoV-J were $96.9\%\;to\;100.0\%\;and\;97.5\%\;to\;98.6\%$, respectively. Full-length cDNA amplicon of PMMoV-Kr was directly amplified by RT-PCR with a set of 5'-end primer anchoring T7 RNA promoter sequence and 3'-end virus-specific primer. Capped transcript RNAs from the full-length cDNA clone were highly infectious and caused characteristic symptoms of wild type PMMoV when mechanically inoculated to systemic host plants such as Nicotiana benthamiana and pepper plants.

  • Duroc 품종은 돼지 사육에 있어 산육성과 육질 향상을 위해 이용되고 있다. 본 연구는 육종에 많이 이용되는 Duroc 품종의 모계 특이적인 서열의 검색과 계통유전학적 유연관계의 정립을 위하여 미토콘드리아 유전체의 전체 염기서열을 결정하고 집단 내 다형성을 조사하였다. mtDNA 전체 서열의 길이는 16,584-bp 이고, D-loop과 tRNA, rRNA 유전자 영역에서는 삽입/결실이 확인되었다. 4개의 coding gene (COⅡ, COⅢ, ND3, ND4)에서 불완전한 종결코돈을, ND4L과 ND2 유전자는 선택적 개시코돈 양상을 보였다. Duroc 집단에 대한 분석 결과 조절영역에서의 특이적인 11-bp 중복 단위가 일부 개체(15.2%)에서 발견되었고, ND2의 개시코돈과 CYTB 유전자에서도 다형현상을 보였다. 각각의 유전자 영역에서의 다형성은 서로 연관되어 있었고, 그 결과 Duroc 집단은 크게 두 가지 haplotype으로 구분되었다. 계통수에서 Duroc mtDNA 서열은 유럽계열 cluster에 위치하였으나, haplotype 분석과 기존에 연구결과들을 종합해 보면 Duroc 품종은 여러 모계선조 집단에서 기원한 것으로 보이며, 유럽과 아시아 계열 모두가 품종 형성에 이용된 것으로 사료된다된 것으로 사료된다.

  • 박테리오파지 T7 gene 2.5 단백질은 single-stranded DNA 결합 단백질로 박태리오파지 T7의 DNA복제, 재조합, 및 수선에 필수적으로 요구된다. Gene 2.5 protein은 T7의 DNA 합성과 성장에 필수적인 단백질이다. Gene 2.5 Protein이 중요시 되는 이유는 이 단백질이 T7의 다른 복제 필수단백질인 T7의 다른 복제 필수단백질인 T7 DNA polymerase 와 gene 4 protein(helicase/primase)와 서로 상호작용할 것으로 제안되었기 때문이다. (Kim and Richardson, J. Biol. Chem., 1992;1994). 이 단백질의 단백질 상호작용을 가능하게 하는 domain은 carboxyl-terminal domain일 것으로 여러 실험에서 대두되었기에, 이 domain의 특성을 파악하기 위해 야생형과 변이체 gene 2.5 단백질들을 각각 GST에 융합한후 fusion 단백질을 정제하였다. 정제된 이 융합 단백질들의 carboxyl-terminal domain이 T7 복제 단백질들과 상호작용을 조사하는지를 조사하기 위해 affinity chromatography로 이용하였다. 실험 결과, 아생형 GST-gene 2.5 융합단잭질(GST-2.5 (WT))는 T7 DNA polymerase 와 상호작용을 하였지만. 변이형 융합단백질(GST-2.5$\Delta$21C)는 interaction을 하지 못했다. 이 결과는 carbohyl-terminal domain이 단백질-단백질 상호작용을 하는데 직접적으로 관여하는 것을 증명하였다. 또한,GST2.5(WT)는 gene 4 protein(helicase/primase)와 직접 상호작용을 하나. GST2.5$\Delta$21C는 상호작용을 하지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 gene 4 proteins와의 상호작용에도 gene 2.5 protein의 carboxyl-terminal domain이 직접 관여 한다는 것이 증명되었다. 이상의 결과에서 gene 2.5 protein은 박테리오파지 T7 의 유전자 목제 시 단백질-단백질 상호작용에 관혀아며, 특히 gene 2.5 protein의 carboxyl-terminal domain이 이러한 상호작용에 직접적으로 관여하는 domain이라는 것을 알 수가 있었다.

  • The nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) have been found in different environmental sources. They tend to colonize different body surfaces and secretions. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the presence of NTM in the theater environment. Fifty of Theater environment sample were examined using acid-fast stain, Lowenstein-Jensen medium culture, PCR and DNA-Sequencing. 4 of 50 samples were detected as NFB in AFB stain, L-J medium culture, PCR. and then, All of 4 NTM stains identified as Mycobacterium fortitum type in DNA-sequencing result.

  • 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).

  • The objective of present study was to ascertain parentage of Thoroughbred(TB) horses in Korea. A total of 2,029 TB horse samples including 993 foal samples for parentage testing were genotyped for nine international minimum standard markers(AHT4, 5, ASB2, HMS3, 6, 7, HTG4, 10, and VHL20). This method consisted of multiplexing PCR procedure, and showed reasonable amplification of all PCR products. Genotyping was performed with an ABI 310 genetic analyzer. The number of alleles per locus varied from 5 to 11 with a mean value of 7.33 in TB. Expected heterozygosity was ranged from 0.544 to 0.837(mean 0.709) and the total exclusion probability of 9 microsatellites loci was 0.9978. Of the 9 markers, ASB2, HMS7 and HTG10 loci have relatively high PIC value(>0.7). All of the 993 foals were qualified by compatibility according to Mendelian fashion in the present DNA typing for parentage testing. These results suggest that the present DNA typing has high potential for parentage verification of TB horses.

  • The PCR was employed to detect and characterize the bovine immunodeficiency-like virus (BIV), which is a newly recognized member of the I entivirinae of the retroviruses. Degenerate primers representing the conserved regions in the pol genes of the Lentivirinae, were used to detect proviral DNA obtained from the bovine embryonic spleen cell cultures infected with BIV. The PCR amplified DNA fragment was molecularly cloned and sequenced. The BIV DNA fragment contained a sequence identical to that reported by Garvey et al. (Garvey et al., 1990. Virology, 175, 391-409). With the degenerate primers, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of sick cattle and cells cultured with BIV were tested to determine genetic variation of BIV pol conserved sequence. We found the sequence heterogeneity within cultures and most variations occurred at the third base of codons that would not lead to amino acid substitutions. Another change was GAG (Glu) to AAG (Lys) within the BIV isolates. Interestingly, the altered sequence is also found in other lentiviruses such as HIV-2, SIV mac, CAEV and EIAV.

  • CR asthma is associated with disease chronicity, a positive family history of asthma and in vitro and in vivo defects in mononuclear cell function. The HPA axis in CR asthmatics is suppressed normally by dexamethasone and the pharmacokinetic profile of an oral dose of prednisolone is similar to that found in CS subjects. In addition, competitive binding studies have shown that the ligand binding and nuclear translocation functions of the GR are similar in the two groups. Studies using gel retardation assay have indicated a defect in DNA binding in CR subjects. Chemical mutational analysis of the GR has shown that is not due to a defect in its structure at the cDNA level. Scatchard analysis of the GR/DNA and GR/ligand interactions suggests that there may be transcriptional interference of the GR with other transcriptionally active molecules leading to defective gene transcription.

  • In this research, the Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus was simulated and exposed to electron radiation with up to 20 keV energy. Absorbed energy was measured for spike protein, nucleocapsid protein, and envelope of the virus. Simulations were performed by Geant4-DNA in a water environment at temperature of 20 ℃ and pressure of 1 atm. Since the viral RNA is kept inside the nucleocapsid protein, damage to this area could destroy the viral RNA strand and create an inactive virus. Our findings showed that electron beams with an energy of 2.5 keV could cause a maximum absorption dose and consequently maximum damage to the nucleocapsid and effectively be used for inactivation virus.
