  • Multimeric angiotensin-converting-enzyme-inhibitor (ACE}) containing a trypsin cleavable linker peptide between ACEI was constructed. We made synthetic DNA coding for the ACEI peptide with asymmetric and complementary cohesive ends of linker nucleotides. A tandemly repeated DNA cassette for the expression of concatameric short peptide multimers was constructed by ligating the basic units. The resultant multimeric peptide expressed as soluble and trypsin treated peptide was shown at the same retention time with chemically synthetic ACEI by HPLC. The present results showed that the technique developed for the production of the ACEI multimers with trypsin cleavable linker peptides can be generally applicable to the production of short peptide.

  • The tandem ubiquitin-interacting motif (UIM) domain located at the N-terminus of Receptor Associated Protein 80 (RAP80) plays a crucial role in ionizing radiation (IR)-induced DNA damage response. RAP80 translocates to sites of IR-induced DNA damage through interaction of its UIM domain with ubiquitinated H2A and Lys63-linked polyubiquitin chains. The exact mechanism, however, through which RAP80 associates with Lys63-linked polyubiquitin chains is not clear. Here, we show by in vitro GST-pull down assays that modifying the linker region between the tandem ubiquitin binding domains of RAP80 changes the binding affinity for Lys63-linked polyubiquitin chains and affects translocation to sites of DNA breaks. Based on these findings, we suggest that the length of the linker region between the tandem ubiquitin binding domains of RAP80 may be a key factor in the binding of RAP80 with Lys63-linked polyubiquitin chains as well as in the translocation of RAP80 to DNA break sites.

  • Photoisomerizing molecules which can transform their structure by the light irradiation have great deal for the application of photo-switching devices. And azobenzene is the representive type of the photoisomerizing molecules. It can transform their trans- structures into cis- structure as the light for certain wave lengths they receive. This property shows the potential of ON/OFF switching functionalization which can be used into the nano scale photo switch. Furthermore, many studies are interested in the organic linkers that connect the azobenzene and metal electrodes. We used S, $CH_2S$, $(CH_2)_4S$ as the linker to watch the influence of linkers for electronic properties. So We suggest a photoswitching device based on the vertical junction using the first-principles calculations with density functional theory and non-equilibrium Greens function (NEGF). By analyzing the electronic structure and tunneling current caused by the structural difference of the system between cis- and trans- azobenzene, the difference in switching mechanism, ON/OFF ratio and transmission will be watched as the linker changes. And finally We will suggest which linker would be the better for the optimal device architecture which can achieve high control of the ON/OFF photocurrent ratio. This result will show the potential of azobenzene-based photoswitch and provide the critical insight in constructing the optimal device architecture.

  • Biotin-S-S-Phosphine was designed and synthesized as a potential tool for a proteomic study of O-GlcNAcmodified proteins. This reagent features a disulfide linker between a triarylphosphine moiety, which allows selective conjugation to azide-containing proteins, and a biotin moiety that can allow easy isolation through its strong affinity toward avidin-coated solid beads. The disulfide linkage within this reagent can allow the easy release of the bound molecules of interest, which is difficult to achieve when a biotin:avidin pair is used alone, by reducing the disulfide bond of the reagent with DTT. Preliminary in vitro biological assays with azidelabeled and unlabeled cell lysates and a pure protein Nup62 showed that the Biotin-S-S-Phosphine reagent is highly reactive toward the free thiol groups of proteins. When a molecular tool with a disulfide linker is applied to the enrichment of the molecules of interest from other species, it is important to block the free-thiols of the sample using exhaustive alkylation prior to the Staudinger ligation reactions to restore the bioorthogonal nature of this reaction.

  • Based on their respective antitumor and thrombolytic activities, the superantigen staphylococcal enterotoxin C2 (SEC2) and staphylokinase (Sak) were chosen for the construction of the novel chimeric proteins Sak-linker-SEC2 and SEC2-linker-Sak using a linker composed of nine Ala residues. Both chimeric proteins possessed nearly the same PBMC proliferation stimulating activity and antitumor activity as SEC2 and thrombolytic activity as Sak. Neither the SEC2 or Sak component of each chimeric protein affected the activity of the other component. The results presented in this study provide a possible strategy to prevent and cure tumor thrombus.

  • 호스트-타겟으로 연결되는 내장형 시스템 개발 환경에서 호스트의 링커는 크로스 컴파일된 목적 화일을 타겟의 모듈들과 링킹하고 타겟을 다운로딩한다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 링커를 목적 화일 형식에 종속적인 모듈과 독립적인 모듈로 세분화하였다. 종속적인 모듈은 목적 화일로부터 화일 형식에 독립적인 링킹 정보를 추출하고, 독립적인 모듈은 이 링킹 정보로부터 실제적인 링킹을 담당한다. 이와 같은 세분화는 내장형 시스템 개발 환경에서 타겟 시스템에 대한 이식성을 높일 수 있다. 또한, 본 연구의 링커는 로딩되는 목적 화일 뿐만 아니라 이미 로딩된 타겟 모듈들에 대해서도 재배치를 적용하는 점진적 원격 링킹을 수행한다. 링커의 점진적 원격 링킹은 모듈 단위로 타겟으로 링킹할 수 있기 때문에 모듈들을 통합하여 타겟으로 링킹하는 방식 보다 링킹 시간을 단축할 수 있다. SPEC95 정수형 벤치마크 프로그램들에 대한 실험 결과 평균 64.90%의 감소율을 보였다. 또한, 링커의 점진적 원격 링킹은 사용자가 목적 화일들의 링킹 순서를 고려하지 않고 임의의 순서로 링킹할 수 있는 편의성을 제공할 수 있다. 현재, 본 연구의 링커는 상용화 준비 중인 내장형 응용 개발 환경 ESTO의 [1] 내부 모듈로 개발되었다.
