The nucleotide sequence of the domestic silkworm (Bombyx mori) mitochondrial (mt) control region and its flanking genes was determined from PCR clones. The control region of the silkworm mt genome was located between the small ribosomal RNA gene and transfer RN $A^{Met}$. This 499 bp control region hale 95.4% A+T content. Extensive comparative analysis studies performed with similar control region of other insect genomes could not reveal a highly conserved region containing conserved motifs of animal mito-chondrial genome. The remarkable feature that found in this control region was the presence of tandem motifs containing nine repetitive sequences. The potential usefulness of this motif sequences for Bombyx species or their taxonomically related species is enhanced by its unique localization in the maternally inheritance mitochondrial molecule.e.

The dioxin- or aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a member of the Per-Arnt-Sim family of nuclear transcription factors exhibiting a basic helix-loop-helix structure. In its non-ligated state the AhR is associated with hsp 90 and the immunophilin-type XAP2. Upon ligand binding the associated proteins are released, the receptor dimerizes with the AhR nuclear trans locator protein Arnt, and binds to XREs (xenobiotic-responsive elements) in the 5'-flanking region of responsive genes thus modulating their transcription.(omitted)

효모의 RNAI유전자는 RNA processing에 관여 하는지 혹은 RNA transport에 관여 하는지 아직까지 유전자의 기능이 정확히 알려져 있지 않은 실정이다. 효모의 RNAI 유전자의 기능을 파악하기 위한 방법으로 본 연구에서는 rna1-1 mutant gene을 cloning하여 이에 대한 DNA sequence를 조사함으로써 RNAI 유전자와 rna1-1 유전자의 차이점을 이해하고자 하였다. rna1-1 marker를 갖는 yeast strain(R49)로 부터 genomic DNA를 추출하여 이를 BglII로 절단하여 genomic southern blotting을 행한 결과 wild type의 경우와 동일하게 3.4 kb에서 hybridization되는 signal을 얻었으며, RNAl 및 rna1-1이 yeast genome내에 single site로 존재함을 보여 주는 결과를 얻었다. mutant strain으로 부터 얻은 3.4 kb의 BglI fragment를 pUC19의 BamHI site에 subcloning하여 transformant들을 얻었고, wild type RNAl 유전자를 probe로 하여 rna1-1 mutant 유전자를 cloning할 수 있었다. pUC19에 cloning된 RNA1유전자 및 rna1-1유전자로부터 다양한 Ba131유도체를 얻어 이들에 대한 염기 서열을 비교한 결과 transcription initation site에서부터 down stream쪽으로 17 아미노산위치에 TCC가 TTC로 대치되어 있었으며 그 결과 serine이 phenylalanine으로 변환되는 결과를 얻었다. Wild type RNAI gene의 5'-region에는 3군데의 TATA-like sequence가 true TATA box인지 확인하기 위하여 Bal3I deletion에 의해 -103nt까지 deletion된 유도체를 얻었으며 ${\Delta}RNAI$, rna1-1, 81-2-6 clone이 rna1-1 allele와 complementation한지 확인하였으나 ${\Delta}RNAI$은 TS-complementation을 하지 못하였다. 따라서 현재까지 TATA-box라고 알려진 부분은 promoter로 작용하지 못함을 확인하였다.

The base compositional correlations that hold among various coding and noncoding regions of the canine genome have been analysed. The distribution pattern of genes, on the basis of $GC_3$ composition, shows a wide range similar to that observed in human. However the occurrence of maximum number of genes was observed in the range of 65-75% of $GC_3$ composition. The correlation between the coding DNA sequences of canine with the different noncoding regions (introns and flanking regions) is found to be significant and in many cases the degree of correlation show similarity to human genome. We found that these correlations are not limited to the GC content alone, but is holding at the level of the frequency of individual bases as well. The present study suggests that canines ideally belong to the predicted 'general mammalian pattern' of genome composition along with human beings.

The neuropeptide vasopressin (VP) is a nine- amino acid hormone synthesized as preprohormone in the cell bodies of hypothalamic magnocellular neurons. The tumor in magnocellular neurons of the hypothalamus is associated with disfunctions of the cell bodies, leading to the diabetes insipidus. In order to produce the disease models with a defect in VP synthesis and its secretion, we have produced the transgenic mice regulated by VP constructs containing 3.8 kbp of the 5'flanking region and all the exons and introns in the mouse VP gene, which was fused at the end of exon 3 to a SV40 Tag. The two VP-transgene constructs differed by the lengths of their VP gene 3' flanking regions (2.1 versus 3.6 kbp). (omitted)

Calmodulin 유전자의 발현 조절을 연구하기 위해, 벼 calmodulin promoter (RCaM-2)를 분리하여 GUS (report 유전자)에 융합하였다. GUS 활성은 정단조직, 근단 및 관다발 영역과 같은 성장조직에서 높게 발현되었다. 줄기와 페티올의 transverse 절단부위 GUS 활성은 관다발계의 안쪽에 제한되었으며 관다발계의 외부에 위치한 피층과 표피에서는 강하게 발현된 식물에서도 GUS 활성이 나타나지 않았다. GUS 활성은 어린 조직에서 특이적으로 발현되었으며 상처에 의해서 신속하게 증가하였다. RCaM-2 promoter는 세포분열이 왕성한 어린조직이나 생장점에서 강하게 발현되며 mechanical 신호에 의해서 현저히 유도되었다. 이러한 결과는 RCaM-2 유전자의 5'-flanking 영역이 상처에 의해서 유도되는 발현을 조절하는 것으로 추정된다.

H. cunea nuclear polyhedrosis virus (HcNPV) 의 polyhedrin 아미노산 및 polyhedrin gene 의 염기서열을 분석하였다. Polyhedrin 은 SDS-PAGE 상에서 3개의 polypeptide band 가 나타났고 주요 polypeptide 는 약 25 Kd 의 분자량을 갖고 있었다. 또한 polyhedrin 은 17 개의 다른 아미노산으로 구성되어 있었다. HcNPV DNA를 EcoRI 효소로 절단하여 $\alpha^{32}P$로 labelling 된 Autographa californica (AcNPV) polyhedrin gene cDNA 의 probe DNA를 이용하여 hybridization 한 결과 polyhedrin gene은 EcoRI 절편들중 H 절편에 양성반응을 나타냈다. 또한 polyhedrin gene 을 포함하고 있는 EcoRI-H 절편을 pUC8 벡터에 cloning한 다음 이를 hPE-H라고 이름하였다. HcNPV genome DNA 의 promoter 부위를 sequence한 결과 TATA box의 염기배열은 polyhedrin gene 전사 개시위치로부터 위쪽으로 -79 bp 의 5' flanking 부위에서 발견되었다. polyhedrin gene 내 CAAT box는 TATA box 측면 염기 배열에서 나타나지 않았고, 4개의 tandem repeat 5'-CTAATAT-3' 와 5'-TAAATAA-3'의 염기는 polyhedrin gene내 전이 개시 위치로 부터 위쪽으로 -141 과 -108 bp 또는 -83 bp 부위에 존재하였으며, 다른 하나는 전이 개시위치로 부터 아래쪽으로 -52 bp 부위에서 발견되었다. 그리고 polyhedrin gene 내 전이 개시위치로 부터 위쪽으로 -141 bp 부위는 다량의 AT (78%) 염기가 존재하였다. 또한 polyhedrin 의 개시 coding region 은 ATG 였고 종결 coding region은 TAA 였다.

The objective of this study was to assess the association of polymorphisms in ${\kappa}$-cn, ${\beta}$-lg, ${\beta}$-lg 5′ flanking region, CSN1S2, and IGFBP-3 genes with milk production traits and mastitis-related traits in Chinese Holstein. Traits analyzed were 305 day standard milk yield, protein percentage, fat percentage, the ratio of fat percentage and protein percentage, pre-somatic cell count, somatic cell count, and somatic cell score, respectively. CSN1S2 locus was uninformative because only one genotype BB was found in Chinese Holstein. Allele frequencies of A and B in IGFBP-3 gene were 0.5738 and 0.4262 in Chinese Holstein population, which was different from reported Qinchuan cattle population. The genotypes of animals at IGFBP-3 locus significantly affected 305 day standard milk yield, protein percentage, and somatic cell score. The ${\beta}$-lg genotypes had a significant effect on protein percentage and the ratio of fat percentage and protein percentage. Polymorphism in ${\beta}$-lg 5′ flanking region was associated with 305 day standard milk yield, protein percentage, fat percentage, pre-somatic cell count, and somatic cell count. No significant associations of the polymorphism in ${\kappa}$-cn gene were observed for any trait.

The promoter region flanking the 5’ CAZFP1 coding region was isolated from the genomic DNA of Capsicum annuum. To identify the upstream region of the CAZFP1 gene required for promoter activity, a series of CAZFP1 promoter deletion derivatives was created. Each deletion construct was analyzed by Agrobacterium-mediated transient transformation in tobacco leaves after infection by Pseudomonas syringae pv. tabaci, or treatment with methyl jasmonate (MeJA), ethylene, abscisic acid (ABA), salicylic acid (SA), cold and wounding. Promoter fragments of 685 bp or longer showed 7-fold or greater induction after P. s. pv. tabaci infection and MeJA treatment. The CAZFP1 full-length promoter (-999 bp) also showed 6-fold induction in response to ethylene. The transiently transformed tobacco leaves with the CAZFP1 full length promoter fused-GUS gene showed more than 5-fold induction in response to SA, ABA and cold. These results suggest that the CAZFP1 promoter contains responsive elements for pathogen, MeJA, ethylene, SA, ABA and cold.
