박테리아와 진균의 유전체 정보 탐색을 통하여 이차대사 생합성을 지정하는 다수의 잠재 유전자군을 찾을 수 있으며, 유전체 정보를 기반으로 특정 유전자의 발현을 활성화하여 잠재 유전자군의 생성물을 추론하고, 해당 물질의 생물학적 기능을 연구하는 것이 가능하다. 동아시아 지역에서 잘 알려진 식용 사상진균 홍국에 대하여 몇 몇 유전체 정보가 공개되어있으며, 본 연구에서는 Monascus purpureus ${\Delta}MpPKS5$ 균주에서 polyketide synthase-nonribosomal peptide synthase 유전자 Mpfus1 상단에 Aspergillus gpdA 프로모터를 삽입하는 방식으로 이 유전자의 발현을 활성화하였다. Mpfus1 유전자군은 2-pyrrolidone/conjugated polyene 구조를 갖는 물질의 생합성 유전자군들과 높은 유사성을 보이며, 이들 화합물 그룹에서 진균 독소인 fusarin이 잘 알려져 있다. ${\Delta}MpPKS5$ 균주는 홍국 azaphilone 색소 생산 능력이 소실된 균주이며 색소 및 자외선 흡수 특성을 보이는 화합물들의 동정에 적절한 균주이다. Mpfus1 활성화는 균사체가 노란색을 띠도록 유도하며, 균사체의 methanol 추출액은 365 nm에서 최대 흡광도를 보임을 확인할 수 있었다. 해당 추출액의 HPLC 분석을 통하여 다수의 화합물들이 포함되어 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며 이를 통하여 MpFus1 효소의 생성물이 대사적, 화학적으로 불안정함을 추론할 수 있다. Mpfus1 활성화 균주 추출물을 LC-MS로 분석하여 MpFus1 생성물의 구조를 유추하여 Mpfus1 유전자군이 fusarin의 탈메틸 유사체 생합성을 지정하는 것으로 제안할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 홍국 균주에서 유전체 기반-미지 화합물 발굴 연구의 예를 제시하고 홍국 균주에서 새로운 생리활성의 동정 가능성을 시사하여 준다.

In all contemporary superscalar processors, the result repositories are implemented as the Reorder Buffer(ROB) slots. In such designs, the ROB is a large multi-ported structure. There are several approaches for reducing the ROB complexity in processors. The one technique relies on a distributed implementation that spreads the centralized ROB structure across the function units(FUs). Each distributed component sized to match the FU workload and with one write port and one read port on each component. We are using M/M/1 Queuing theory to determine the number of entries in each ROB component that the performance of processor depends on. Our schemes are evaluated using the simulation of CPU2000 benchmarks.

Significant research efforts are ongoing to elucidate the complex molecular mechanisms underlying amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which may in turn pinpoint potential therapeutic targets for treatment. The ALS research field has evolved with recent discoveries of numerous genetic mutations in ALS patients, many of which are in genes encoding RNA binding proteins (RBPs), including TDP-43, FUS, ATXN2, TAF15, EWSR1, hnRNPA1, hnRNPA2/B1, MATR3 and TIA1. Accumulating evidence from studies on these ALS-linked RBPs suggests that dysregulation of RNA metabolism, cytoplasmic mislocalization of RBPs, dysfunction in stress granule dynamics of RBPs and increased propensity of mutant RBPs to aggregate may lead to ALS pathogenesis. Here, we review current knowledge of the biological function of these RBPs and the contributions of ALS-linked mutations to disease pathogenesis.

The authors congratulate the cerebrations for the 30 years of the Korean Society of Medical Physics (http://www.ksmp.or.kr/). The paper is published to recognize the anniversary. Geon-Ho Jahng invited Professor Z. H. Cho to join to submit this manuscript because he has been one of the leaders in the field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during the last 40 years. In this review, we describe the development and clinical histories of MRI internationally and domestically. We also discuss diffusion and perfusion MRI, molecular imaging using MRI and MR spectroscopy (MRS), and the hybrid systems, such as positron emission tomography-MRI (PET-MRI), MR-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS), and MRI-guided linear accelerators (MRI-LINACs). In each part, we discuss the historical evolution of the developments, technical developments, and clinical applications.

이 논문은 다세포 녹색식물의 조상으로 생각되는 단세포인 수염녹두말속(Chlamydomonas) 녹조의 복잡한 유성생식 과정을 종합적으로 이해하기 위해서 기술되었다. 모델생물로 알려진 클래미도모나스 레인하르티(Chlamydomonas reinhardtii)의 유성생식 생활사는 배우자발생, 배우자 활성화, 세포융합, 접합자 성숙, 감수분열과 발아 등의 다섯 시기로 구별된다. 배우자발생은 서식지에서 질소가 결핍되어 시작된다. 그 결과, 교배형 유전자자리($MT^+$ 또는 $MT^-$)에 의해 조절된 두 가지 교배형($mt^+$ 및 $mt^-$)의 배우자들이 발생된다. 유성생식을 위한 두 번째 자극원인 청색광이 교배능력을 갖고 있지 않는 예비배우자 세포에 조사되면 교배능력을 가진 배우자로 분화된다. 배우자발생의 초기에, 두 배우자 세포들은 응집소(agglutin) 분자들을 합성한다. 즉, $mt^+$ 응집소 및 $mt^-$ 응집소는 상염색체에 있는 성응집(SAG1) 및 성접착(SAD1) 유전자들이 발현되어 각각 합성된다. 응집소들에 의해서 두 배우자 세포들의 편모가 접착되면 cAMP가 신호전달 경로를 작동시켜서 편모의 끝 부부을 활성화시킨다. cAMP의 신호에 반응하여 두 배우자들의 세포벽이 벗겨지고 2개의 편모 사이에서 각각의 교배구조(mating structure)가 발달한다. 교배구조의 원형질막에는 $mt^+$ 및 $mt^-$ 배우자-특이 융합 단백질인 Fus1 및 Hap2/Gcs1이 있다. 이 단백질들의 상호작용으로 두 교배구조가 접촉되면, 두 배우자 사이에 세포질이 연결되어 수정세관(fertilization tubule)이 발달한다. $mt^+$ 및 $mt^-$ 배우자들의 핵과 엽록체가 융합되면 2배체의 접합자가 형성된다. 그 후 배우자들의 특성은 사라지며 융합단백질들(Fus1 및 Hap2)이 분해되고 접합자-특이(zygote-specific) 유전자들이 활성화 된다. 접합자는 24시간에 걸쳐 두꺼운 세포벽을 가진 접합포자(zygospore)로 발달한다. 어린 접합자에서 교배 후 60분 이내에 $mt^-$ 엽록체 DNA와 $mt^+$ 미토콘드리아 DNA가 선택적으로 제거된다. 따라서 이 두 소기관들은 각각 $mt^-$ 미토콘드리아 DNA와 $mt^+$ 엽록체 DNA만 남아서 단친유전(uniparental inheritance)이 이루어진다. 적당한 조건이 되면 접합포자가 감수분열과 발아 과정을 거쳐 반수체 영양세포가 방출되어 새로운 세대가 다시 시작된다.

KOMPSAT-3A는 2015년 한국항공우주연구원(KARI)이 발사한 고해상 광학위성으로 0.55 m 급 전정색영상(PAN), 2.2 m 급 다중 분광 영상(MS) 그리고 5.5 m 급 중적외선 영상(MIR_OR)을 제공한다. 그러나 보안 또는 군사적인 문제로 인해 공간 해상도 5.5 m MIR_OR 영상은 33 m 공간해상도로 down-sampling된 MIR_rd 영상으로 제공된다. 본 연구에서는 가상의 고주파(HP) 영상과 최적 융합 계수를 이용하여 MIR_rd 영상의 공간해상도를 복원하는 방법을 제안하였다. MS 영상과 MIR_rd 영상을 이용하여 가상의 MIR_OR^fus 영상을 제작하였으며, 이를 실제 MIR_OR 영상과 비교 분석하였다. 실험 결과, 제안된 방법이 MS 영상의 공간해상도와 MIR_rd 영상의 분광정보를 효과적으로 조합 하였다는 것을 보여주었다.

The mechanism by which catechin-mediated cytotoxicity against tumor cells remains to be elusive. To elucidate the mechanical mights of anti-tumor effects, (-)epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) of catechin was applied to human prostate cancer DU 145 cells. Cell viability was measured by crystal violet staining. Cell lysates were wed to measure the catalytic activity of caspases by using fluorogenic peptide: Ac-DEVD-AMC for caspase-3 protease, Z-IETD-AFC for caspase-8 protease, Ac-LEHD-AFC for caspase-9 protease as substrates. The equal amounts of protein from cell lysate was separated on SDS-PAGE and analyzed by western blotting with anti-Fas antibody, anti-FasL antibody, anti-BCL2 antibody and anti-Bax antibody. (-)EGCG induced the death of DUl45 cells, which was revealed as apoptosis shown by DNA fragmentation. (-)EGCG induced the activation of caspase family cysteine proteases including caspase-3, -8 and -9 proteases in DU145 cells. Also, (-)EGCG increased the expression of Fas and Fas ligand (FasL) protein in DU145 colls. The expression level of BCL2 was decreased in (-)EGCG treated DU145 cells, whereas Bax protein was increased in a time-dependent manner. We suggest that (-)EGCG-induced apoptosis of DU145 cells is mediated by signaling pathway involving caspase family cysteine protease, mitochondrial BCL2-family protein and Fas/FasL.

Based on the principal component analysis (PCA) of Richards' parameter estimates, ginseng field soils were grouped as the principal component 1 (PC1) and the principal component 2 (PC2). The microflora and physico-chemical characteristics of each soil group were compared to elucidate soil environmental factors affecting the disease development of root rot of ginseng seedling. Among 3 soil groups by PC1, there were differences in the populations of total fungi (TF) and Cylindrocarpon plus Fusarium (C+F), and the population ratio of Cylindrocarpon plus Fusarium to total fungi or total bacteria (C+F/TF, C+F/TB) in rhizoplane of ginseng seedlings, the population of total actinomycetes (TA) and the population ratio of total Fusarium to total actinomycetes (Fus/TA) in soil, and soil chemical properties (EC, NO3-N, K, Mn, ect.). Among 4 soil groups by PC2, there were differences in TF, C+F, TB, C+F/TF and C+F/TB in the rhizoplane, Trichoderma plus Gliocladium (T+G) in soil, and P2O5 content in soil. Especially, EC, NO3-N, K, K/Mg and Mn were positively correlated to PC1, and TA was negatively to PC1; however, TF, C+F, TB, C+F/TF and C+F/TB in the rhizoplane were significantly correlated to PC2 positively. On the other hand, microbes in the rhizoplane were not significantly correlated to the stand-missing rate (SMR), although TA and Fe/Mn were negatively correlated, and pH and Ca were positively correlated to SMR.
