G-quadruplex를 형성하는 DNA연속체는 텔로미어에서 발견된다. 지금까지의 연구 결과에 따르면 G-quadruplex는 다양한 유전질환과 암과의 상관관계가 있으며, 따라서 G-quadruplex에 대한 연구는 제약 개발 분야에서 활발하게 진행되고 있다. G-quadruplex는 두 개 이상의 G-tetrad들이 쌓여서 형성된 복합체를 의미하며, G-tetrad란 4개의 구아닌 염기들이 Hoogsteen의 수소결합 통해, 정사각형의 평면을 이룬 물질을 일컫는다. 이때, 알칼리 금속 이온이 G-quadruplex에서의 G-tetrad 복합체 형성에 중요한 역할을 한다는 선행연구 결과가 있다. 특히, 알칼리 금속 중 $K^+$이 가장 G-quadruplex와 결합을 잘 한다고 알려져 있는데 그 이유에 대한 분자적 관점의 설명이 이루어져 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 먼저 G-quadruplex의 기본 구성 단위 구조인 G-tetrad와 알칼리 금속 결합체들의 수용액상에서의 구조적, 열역학적 특징을 정량적으로 비교, 분석하였다. 또한, 양자화학적 방법으로 계산된 수용액 상태에서의 결합구조에 대한 용매화 자유 에너지 계산을 수행하여 G-quadruplex 간의 자기 조립 (self-assembly) 현상을 설명하였다.

The gene CDC70 encoding the${\alpha}-subunit$ of G protein has been known to be a component involved in mating pheromone signalling in the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. To isolate mutations of the genes involved in the signal transduction, Saccharomyces cerevisiae the strain bearing the cdc70-5 mutation was mutagenized to be forced to recover the ability of colony-formation at restrictive temperature, which means the new mutation can suppress the temperature sensitivity of the cdc70-5 phenotypes. Among these suppressors, $sir^-$ and $mat{\alpha}2^{-}$ mutations are excluded because of no relationship to signal transducer. And the selected suppressors were analyzed for the linkage relationships by the tetrad analysis. Out of fifteen suppressors isolated, twelve were classified into four linkage groups, designated as sga1, sga2, sga3, sga4 by the tetrad analysis. The other three genes were determined for the linkage.

The Comprehensive Assessment of Psychopathic Personality(CAPP) is an emerging comprehensive approach that makes use of 99 items in 33 symptoms to well-represented psychopathic personality disorder, but cross-cultural generalizability of this potential model have not endured extensive validation to date. The current study sought to validate the recently published CAPP-Self-Report form(CAPP-SR). 311 participants were derived from eleven prisons by the systematic sampling. They were administered the CAPP-SR, Triarchic Psychopathy Measure(TriPM), Levenson's SRP(LSRP), Short Dark Tetrad(SD-4), and Korean Offender Risk Assessment-General(KORAS-G designed for predicting Korean offenders'recidivism. The results showed that the CAPP-SR total, domain, and symptom scores were generally associated with TriPM, LSRP, SD-4, and KORAS-G scores in a manner consistent with conceptual expectations. Also. the findings cross-culturally provide support for construct validity and incremental validity of the CAPP-SR in Korea as well as have clinical implications for the CAPP model more broadly, which are discussed.

A novel strategy was developed for isolating suppressors from sporulation-deficient mutants. The mutation in the BCY1 gene, which codes for the regulatory subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase, when homozygous, results in diploids being meiosis and sporulation deficient. Two plasmids, YCp-MAT.alpha. and YEp-SPOT7-lacZ, were introduced into MAT.alpha. BCY1$\^$+/ or MAT.alpha. bcy1 haploid cells. The transformant of the BCY1$\^$+/ haploid cell produced .betha.-galactosidase under nutrient starvation, but the bcy1 transformant did not. Using this system, the mutagenesis experiment performed on the bcy1 transformant strain resulted in a number of sporulation mutants that produced .betha.-galactosidase under nutrient starvation. One complementation group, sob1, was identified from the isoalted suppressor mutants and characterized as a single recessive mutation by tetrad analysis. Genetic analysis revealed that the sob1 mutation suppressed the sporulation deficiency, the failure to arrest at the G1 phase of the cell cecle, and the sensitivity to heat or nitrogen starvation caused by the bcy1 mutation. However, the sob1 mutation did not suppress the sporulation deficiency of ime1 and of ime2 diploids. These results suggest that the sob1 mutation affects a gene which functions as a downstream regulator in both meiosis and cell cycle regulation.
