공학 및 구조최적설계에서 광범위하게 이용되고 있는 2차계획문제(QP)의 효율적인 해법을 개발하기 위하여, 먼저 QP의 해법으로 사용가능한 수학적 최적화기법들의 이론적 및 수치적 특성을 비교연구하였다. 원래 QP 및 쌍대 QP에 대하여 이론적 강건성이 확인된 심플렉스, 경사투영(GRP) 그리고 증대 라그란지승수 알고리즘의 컴퓨터 프로그램을 작성하고 수치적 수행성이 검토되었다. 연구결과, 잠재제약조건방책을 이용하는 원래 QP의 GRP 알고리즘과 쌍대 QP의 심플렉스 알고리즘이 다른 QP해법에 비하여 효율적이면서 강력한 방법임을 알 수 있었고, 제약함수의 수가 설계변수의 수보다 많을 때는 원래 QP의 GRP 알고리즘이 더욱 효율적이었다. 또 GRP 알고리즘과 심플렉스 알고리즘의 장점을 선별적으로 이용할 수 있는 조합 알고리즘이 제안되었다.

A full-length cDNA of OgGRP gene encoding a glycinerich cell wall protein was isolated from wild rice (Oryza grandiglumis). Deduced amino acid sequences of OgGRP are composed of 148 amino acids (16.3 kDa), and show 85.9% homology with Osgrp-2 (Oryza sativa). RT-PCR analysis showed that RNA expression of OgGRP was regulated by defense-related signaling chemicals, such as cantharidin, endothall, jasmonic acid, wounding, or yeast extract treatment. In relation to pathogen stress, the function of OgGRP was analyzed in OgGRP over-expressing Arabidopsis thaliana. Overexpression of OgGRP in Arabidopsis contributed to moderate resistance against fungal pathogen, Botrytis cinerea, by lowering disease rate and necrosis size. In the analysis of the transgenic Arabidopsis lines to check the change of gene expression profile, induction of PR1, PR5 and PDF1.2 was confirmed. The induction seemed to be caused by the interaction of ectopic expression of OgGRP with SA-and JA-dependent signaling pathways.

Recently, composite hollow bushings have been increasingly employed mainly from the various characteristics. Composite bushings are superior to porcelain bushings in several respects, including lighter weight, better anti-pollution and anti-explosion properties, and easer manufacturing. Filament wound GRP tubes which have various winding angle were manufactured by using a filament winding machine. This paper will show some design issues and winding condition for composite bushing. And, results show that the winding condition of composite GRP tubes can be used to improved their bending strength and pressure, For bending and pressure tested, tubes with the hybrid winding pattern show higher strength than those of unit winding pattern. Also, the influence of absorption was evaluated through such as measurement of the dye penetration test and water diffusion test, also aspects of surface state using scanning electron microscopy.

Previously, we have identified 14 putative downstream target genes of Hoxc8 homeoprotein in F9 murine embryonic teratocarcinoma cells through proteomics analysis. Among those, we tested a possibility of a DNA-k type molecular chaperone, Grp78, as a direct downstream target of Hoxc8, by cloning a 2.4 kb upstream region of murine Grp78 into a reporter plasmid and by testing if Hoxc8 can regulate its expression. We observed that Hoxc8 proteins could transactivate the reporter gene, which was affected by small interference RNAs (siRNAs) against to Hoxc8, suggesting that Grp78 is a novel downstream target of Hoxc8 in vivo.

We have previously reported that simulated snuff dipping in conjunction with type I herpes simplex virus (HSV-1) induced oral malignant changes in hamsters. Present study was designed to investigate the carcinogenic effect of tobacco specific-N-nitrosamines (TSNAs) and HSV-1, alone or in combination, in hamsters. Hamsters were divided into 6 groups and the right buccal pouch mucosa were treated as follows: Grp 1, Control (Mock inoculation) [MI]+Topical Application [TA] of mineral oil[MO] : Grp 2, TA of 1% n'- nitrosonornicotine [NNN] + IM: Grp3, TA of 1% 4-N-nitrosomethylamino-1- (3-pyridyl)-1-butanone [NNK] + MI: Grp 4, HSV-1 inoculation [HI]+TA of MO : Grp 5, TA of 1% N-nitrosonornicotine [NNN] + HI: Grp 6, TA of 1% NNK + HI. TA of MO or TSNAs was initiated 1 day after the MI or HI and given 3 times per week for 20 consecutive weeks. At the buccal pouches were fixed for light microscope examination. No animal s developed tumors or malignant histopathologic changes in the mucosa of the buccal pouches. These data indicate that individual TSNAs, alone or in conjunction with HSV-1 infection, do not develop malignant changes in hamster buccal pouches.

소포체는 세포막의 합성뿐만 아니라 세포막에 존재하거나 세포외로 분비되어져야 할 단백질을 합성하는 세포내 소기관이다. 소포체에서 단백질이 합성되어질 경우 이황화결합이 형성되고 glycosylation 등의 수식이 일어나며, 이와 동시에 folding과 assembly과정을 거쳐 삼차원적 구조로 성숙이 되는데 이 과정은 folding enzyme과 molecular chaperone의 도움을 받아 이루어진다. 소포체 내에 존재하는 molecular chaperone 중 가장 잘 알려진 것으로 BiP이 있다. BiP의 기능은 N-terminus의 ATPase domain에 의해 조절되고 ATPase domain은 이것과 선택적으로 결합하는 조절인자에 의해 ATPase의 활성이 영향을 받는다. BiP의 핵산치환조절인자로서 발견된 BAP은 ATPase domain에 결합된 ADP를 ATP로 치환하는 것으로 기능이 알려져 있다. 이 BAP의 핵산치환기능이 BiP의 샤페론 작용에 어떤 영향을 미치는지를 in vitro에서 항체 heavy chain을 이용하여 알아보았다. BAP은 ATP보다 ADP가 결합되어 있는 BiP과 더 잘 결합을 하며, in vitro에서 BiP과 결합하고 있는 unfolded 단백질을 BAP은 BiP으로부터 해리하였다. 또한 소포체내에 존재하는 Hsp70 homologue chaperone인 BiP과 Grp170에 대한 BAP의 결합특이성을 anti-Grp170과 anti-BAP 항체로 co-immunoprecipitation을 하여 확인한 결과 BAP은 Grp170과 결합을 하지 않았다. 따라서 BAP은 ER내에 존재하는 동일한 family group에 속하는 Grp170과 BiP에 대하여 BiP에만 특이성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구는 운동강도 차이에 따른 카페인 구강 투여가 STZ-유발 당뇨 쥐 가자미근에서 GLUT-4와 GRP-78 단백질 발현에 미치는 영향을 규명하기 위하여 F344계 수컷 횐쥐를 무작위 표본추출에 의하여 당뇨유발군(n=6), 당뇨유발-카페인 투여군(n=6), 당뇨유발-카페인투여 저강도운동군(n=6), 당뇨유발-카페인투여 중강도운동군(n=6), 그리고 당뇨유발-카페인투여 고강도 운동군(n=6)으로 분류하였다. 저강도 운동은 트레드밀 경사도 0%에서 8 m/min 속도로, 중강도 운동은 트레드밀 경사도 0%에서 16 m/min 속도로, 고강도운동은 트레드밀 경사도 0%에서 25 m/min속도로 30분간 1회 운동을 실시하였다. GLUT4단백질 발현은 당뇨군에 비해서 당뇨유발군-카페인 투여군과 당뇨유발-카페인투여 저강도 운동군에서 차이가 없었으며, 당뇨유발-카페인투석 중강도 운동군에서는 다소 감소하였으나 당뇨유발-카페인투여 고강도 운동군에서 증가하였다. GRP-78 단백질 발현은 당뇨군에 비해서 당뇨유발-카페인투여 저강도 운동군, 당뇨유발-카페인투여 중강도 운동군, 그리고 당뇨유발-카페인투석 고강도 운동군에서 감소하였으나, 당뇨유발-카페인 투여군에서는 다소 증가한 것으로 나타났다 고강도 일회성 운동이 인슐린 민감도를 개선시켜 인슐린 요구량을 낮추는데 이러한 효과는 내형질세망에서 세포막으로의 GLUT-4 단백질의 전이와 GLUT-4 단백질 양의 증가 때문이다. 운동군에서의 GRP-78 단백질이 감소된 기전은 정확히 밝힐 수는 없지만, 카페인으로 인한 지질 동원이 운동 시 작업근의 세포에 많은 에너지를 공급하여 세포가 받는 스트레스를 완화시켜 주었기 때문이라고 추측된다.

In the present study, we investigated the role of binding immunoglobulin protein/glucose-regulated protein, 78-kDa (BIP/GRP78)-regulated endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-stress on meiotic maturation and cumulus cells expansion in porcine cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs). Previously, it has been demonstrated that unfolded protein response (UPR)-related genes, such as molecules involved in ER-stress defense mechanisms, were expressed in matured oocytes and cumulus cells during in vitro maturation (IVM) of porcine oocytes. However, BIP/GRP78-mediated regulation of ER stress in porcine oocytes has not been reported. Firstly, we observed the effects of knockdown of BIP/GRP78 (an UPR initiation marker) using porcine-specific siRNAs (#909, #693, and #1570) on oocyte maturation. Among all siRNAs, siRNA #693 significantly reduced the protein levels of UPR marker proteins (BIP/GRP78, ATF4, and P90ATF6) in porcine COCs observed by Western blotting and immunofluorescence analysis. We also observed that the reduction of BIP/GRP78 levels by siRNA#693 significantly inhibited the meiotic maturation of oocytes (siRNA #693: $32.5{\pm}10.1%$ vs control: $77.8{\pm}5.3%$). In addition, we also checked the effect of ER-stress inhibitors, tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA, $200{\mu}M$) and melatonin ($0.1{\mu}M$), in BIP/GRP78-knockdown oocytes. TUDCA and melatonin treatment could restore the expression levels of ER-stress marker proteins (BIP/GRP78, $p-eIF2{\alpha}$, $eIF2{\alpha}$, ATF4, and P90ATF6) in siRNA #693-transfected matured COCs. In conclusion, these results demonstrated that BIP/GRP78-mediated regulation of UPR signaling and ER stress plays an important role in in vitro maturation of porcine oocytes.

A cDNA clone for a transcript preferentially expressed during an early phase of flooding was isolated from Nicotiana tabacum. Nucleotide sequencing of the cDNA clone identified an open reading frame that has high homology to the previously reported glycine-rich RNA-binding proteins. The open reading frame consists of 157 amino acids with an N-terminal RNA-recognition motif and a C-terminal glycine-rich domain, and thus the cDNA clone was designated as Nicotiana tabaccum glycine-rich RNA-binding protein-1 (NtGRP1). Expression of NtGRP1 was upregulated under flooding stress and also increased, but at much lower levels, under conditions of cold, drought, heat, high salt content, and abscisic acid treatment. RNA homopolymer-binding assay showed that NtGRP1 binds to all the RNA homopolymers tested with a higher affinity to poly r(G) and poly r(A) than to poly r(U) and poly r(C). Nucleic acid-binding assays showed that NtGRP1 binds to ssDNA, dsDNA, and mRNA. NtGRP1 suppressed expression of the fire luciferase gene in vitro, and the suppression of luciferase gene expression could be rescued by addition of oligonucleotides. Collectively, the data suggest NtGRP1 as a negative modulator of gene expression by binding to DNA or RNA in bulk that could be advantageous for plants in a stress condition like flooding.
