  • Saccharomyces cerevisiae Dna2 protein has biochemical activities: DNA-dependent ATPase, DNA helicase and DNA nuclease and is essential for cell viability. Especially, Pro$\^$504/ is determined as an important residue in ATPase, helicase, and nuclease activity. We synthesized and determined the three-dimensional solution structure of N-terminal domain comprising residues of Val$\^$501/ -_Phe$\^$508/ (Dna2$\^$pep/) using two-dimensional $^1$H-NMR and dynamical simulated annealing calculations. On the basis of a total of 44 experimental restraints including NOEs, $^3$J$\_$$\alpha$$\beta$/ and $^3$J$\_$$\alpha$$\beta$/ coupling constants, the solution structures of Dna2$\^$epe/ were calculated with the program CNS. The 23 lowest energy structures were selected out of 50 final simulated-annealing structures. The atomic RMSDs of the final 23 structures fur the individual residues were calculated with respect to the average structure. The mean RMSDs for the 23 structures were 0.042 nm for backbone atoms and 0.316 nm for all heavy atoms, respectively. The Ramachandran plot indicates that the $\Phi$, Ψ angles of the 23 final structures are properly distributed in energetically acceptable regions. Solution structure of Dna2$\^$pep/ showed a single unique turn spanning residues of Asn$\^$503/ Val$\^$506/.

  • Just as it is possible to distinguish people by using physical features, such as fingerprints, irises, veins, and faces, and behavioral features, such as voice, gait, keyboard input pattern, and signatures, the an IoT device includes various features that cannot be replicated. For example, there are differences in the physical structure of the chip, differences in computation time of the devices or circuits, differences in residual data when the SDRAM is turned on and off, and minute differences in sensor sensing results. Because of these differences, Sensor data can be collected and analyzed, based on these differences, to identify features that can classify the sensors and define them as sensor-based device DNA technology. As Similar to the biometrics, such as human fingerprints and irises, can be authenticatedused for authentication, sensor-based device DNA can be used to authenticate sensors and generate cryptographic keys that can be used for security.

  • To elucidate overall changes in DNA methylation that occurs by inappropriate epigenetic control during ageing, we compared fetal bovine fibroblasts and their aged neomycin-resistant versions using bisulfite-PCR technology. Reduction in DNA methylation was observed in euchromatic repeats (18S-rRNA/art2) and promoter regions of sing1e-copy genes (the cytokeratin/-lactoglobulin/interleukin-13 genes). Contrastingly, a stable maintenance of DNA methylation was revealed in various heterochromatic sequences (satellite I/IIalphoid and Bov-B). The differential inheritance modes of DNA methylation was confirmed through the analysis of individual neomycin-resistant clones. These global, multi-loci analyses provide evidence on the tendency of differential epigenetic modification between genomic DNA regions during ageing.

  • In an effort to gain greater understanding of the maternal lineages of the Jeju native pig (JNP), we analyzed the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) CYTB gene and compared it with those of other pig breeds. PCR-RFLP analysis was conducted with six pig breeds including JNP, and then the RFLP patterns allowed for the separation of the pig breeds into two distinct haplotypes (mtCYTB1 and mtCYTB2). The JNP CYTB sequences were detected in both the European and Asian breed clusters on the phylogenetic tree. The J2 group was sorted with the indigenous cluster of Asian pig lineages and was related closely to Chinese native pig breeds, but a second group, J1, was sorted with the European pig lineages and appeared to be related to Spanish Iberian native pigs, rather than to Asian breeds. These results indicate that the JNP currently raised on Jeju Island have two major maternal origins estimated in Asian and European pigs. We concluded that the JNP that share a common lineage with indigenous Asian pigs were domesticated in the distant past, originating from pigs that were already being raised elsewhere at that time, and that the European pig breeds introduced in the twentieth century have also contributed to the formation of this pig population.

  • We created a cDNA microarray representing approximately 3,500 pig genes for functional genomic studies. The array elements were selected from 6,494 cDNA clones identified in a large-scale expressed sequence tag (EST) project. These cDNA clones came from normalized and subtracted porcine adipose tissue cDNA libraries. Sequence similarity searches of the 3,426 ESTs represented on the array using BLASTN identified 2,790 (81.4%) as putative human orthologs, with the remainder consisting of "novel" genes or highly divergent orthologs. We used the gene microarray to profile transcripts expressed by adipose tissue of fatty Chinese Xiang pig (XP) and muscley Large White (LW). Microarray analysis of RNA extracted from adipose tissue of fatty XP and muscley LW identified 81 genes that were differently expressed two fold or more. Transcriptional differences of four of these genes, adipocyte fatty acid binding protein (aP2), stearyl-CoA desaturase (SCD), sterol regulatory element binding transcription factor 1 (SREBF1) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) were confirmed using SYBR Green quantitative RT-PCR technology. Our results showed that high expression of SCD and SREBF1 may be one of the reasons that larger fat deposits are observed in the XP. In addition, our findings also illustrate the potential power of microarrays for understanding the molecular mechanisms of porcine development, disease resistance, nutrition, fertility and production traits.

  • Bovine genome samples were collected from meat of three different beef breeds (Hanwoo, Holstein and imported beef breed) that are commercially merchandized in Korean beef market. Operon B (OPB)-kits were used as random primers (3, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14) in random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method on whole genome. Each primer provided characteristic bands that were highly polymorphic. Each single primer could provide relatively efficient polymorphic band patterns among breeds. However, use of two or more primers in combination is recommended to improve resolution of experiments with higher molecular weight bands of DNA. In our experiments, OPB-11 resolved well between beef cattle breeds and Holstein. And OPB-7, 12 and 14 could be combined with OPB-11 to identify Hanwoo beef from the other two kinds of beef.
