  • Ganoderma lucidum (Fr.) Karsten을 실험재료로 하여 자실체형성 전후의 RNA를 추출 정량하였다. 버섯의 자실체 형성 전후에 걸쳐 총 RNA함량에 차이가 있었으며 자실체 형성 전에 총 RNA함량이 두드러지게 많았다. 버섯의 추출물인 RNA를 알카리가수분해한 것을 P.E.I. cellulose TLC로 전개한 결과 GMP와 XMP가 확인되었으며 미확인물질로서 한개의 spot가 나타났다. 이것은 위치로 보아 CMP가 아닌가 생각된다. 영지의 RNA추출물을 HPLC로 분석한 결과는 XMP와 GMP가 확인되었으며 그 함량은 각각, 자실체 형성 전의 GMP는 7.l9mg%, XMP는 8.43mg%, 형성후의 GMP는 4.02mg%, XMP는 3.67mg%의 함량분포를 나타내었다.

  • Nucleic scids transfer the genetic information for serving a central biological purpose. The nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides and they are mainly ribonucleic acid(RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA). The nucleotides are stoichiometrically composed of five-carbon sugars, nitrogeneous bases, and phosphoric acids. The chemistry of nucleic acids and characteristics of different genomes are decribed for further study. Most of DNA genomes tend to be circular including bacterial genomes and eukaryotic mitochondrial DNA. Eukaryotic chromosomes in cells, in contrast, are generally linear. The ends of linear chromosomes are called telomeres. The genomes of different species, such as mammals, plants, invertebrates can be compared with the chromosome ends. The telomeric complex allows cells to distinguish the random DNA breaks and natural chromosomal ends. The very ends of chromosomes cannot be replicated by any ordinary mechanisms. The shortening of telomeric DNA templates in semiconservative replication is occurred with each cell division. The short telomere length is critically related to aging, tumors and dieases.

  • Acyl-coenzyme A (CoA):diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2) catalyzes the last stage of triacylglycerol (TAG) synthesis, a process that forms ester bonds with diacylglycerols (DAG) and fatty acyl-CoA substrates. The enzymatic role of Dgat2 has been studied in various biological species. Still, the full description of how Dgat2 channels fatty acids in skeletal myocytes and the consequence thereof in glucose uptake have yet to be well established. Therefore, this study explored the mediating role of Dgat2 in glucose uptake and fatty acid partitioning under short interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA)-mediated Dgat2 knockdown conditions. Cells transfected with Dgat2 siRNA downregulated glucose transporter type 4 (Glut4) messenger RNA (mRNA) expression and decreased the cellular uptake of [1-14C]-labeled 2-deoxyglucose up to 24.3% (p < 0.05). Suppression of Dgat2 deteriorated insulin-induced Akt phosphorylation. Dgat2 siRNA reduced [1-14C]-labeled oleic acid incorporation into TAG, but increased the level of [1-14C]-labeled free fatty acids at 3 h after initial fatty acid loading. In an experiment of chasing radioisotope-labeled fatty acids, Dgat2 suppression augmented the level of cellular free fatty acids. It decreased the level of re-esterification of free fatty acids to TAG by 67.6% during the chase period, and the remaining pulses of phospholipids and cholesteryl esters were decreased by 34.5% and 61%, respectively. Incorporating labeled fatty acids into beta-oxidation products increased in Dgat2 siRNA transfected cells without gene expression involving fatty acid oxidation. These results indicate that Dgat2 has regulatory function in glucose uptake, possibly through the reaction of TAG with endogenously released or recycled fatty acids.

  • Effects of antibioties on micro-organism have been reported by many scientists, such as Krampitz and Werkman, Fisher, Gale and Rodwell, Klimick Cavalito and Bailey, Umbreit, etc. On the mechanism by which penicillin act, Fisher(1947), Platt(1947), and Cavallito, considered that penicillin might act on bacteria by inhibiting with the normal function of SH-group of glutathione in the metabolism of the cell. Resenbrance of penicillin to gultathione in structure and the inactivation of penicillin by cysteine make us approve of the above inhibiting theory of SH-group. Galland (1947) and Schmidt (1947) reported that penicillin inhibited the activity of ribonuclease, Phosphatase, and mononucleotidase. Gale (1948) discovered that the gram positive bacteria had lost the power to uptake glutamic acid by ribonucleic acid in the medium contained penicillin: growth of gram positive organism was inhibited by the results that penicillin inhibited the uptake of amino acid byribonucleic acid, acting on ribonucleic acid of gram positive bacteria. Hotchkiss (1950) cultured S. aureus in the medium contained glucose and amino acids, and studied the effect of penicillin on protein synthesis. Peptide formation in living cells was inhibited by penicillin, while amono acid was utilized as before the addition of penicillin. On the otherhand, Binkley (1951) found penicillin interfered hydrolase of glutath one, and Hans (1950) reported penicillin inhibited the transpeptidation. On the machanism by which streptomycin acts. Cohen (1947) reported steptomycin made a irreversible complex with desoxyribonucleic acid, by the fact that desoxyribonucleic acid formed the precipitates with diguanide group of steptomycin. Zeller (1951) reported, on the other hand, streptomycin inhibited diamine oxidease. Geiger (1947) and Umbreit (1949) reported that steptomycin inhibited condensation of oxaloacetate and pyruvate in E. Coli and Oginsky et al (1949) reported steptomycin inhibited oxaloacetate-pyruvate reaction in Kreb's cycle. On the mechanism by which terramycin acts, Hahn & Wisseman (1951) reported that the formation of adaptive enzyme was inhibited by terramycin in E. Coli cultivated in the medium contained loctose, and that the protein synthesis was inhibited by terramycin. However, effects of antibiotics on amino acid metabolism have not been discussed much in spite of its important role in living cells. Especislly, effects of anitibiotics on higher plants have scarcely been reported. Here, to prove the effect of antibiotics on higher plants, and the mechanism by which, through amino acid metabolism, they promote or inhibit growth of plants, amino acids in bean plants treated with penicillin, streptomycin, and terramycin were analyzed by paper chromatography. And to clarify the antagonis of cysteine (as SH-group) against penicillin, through amino acid metabolism, amino acids in bean plants treated with cystene and penicillin, at the same time, were also analyzed.

  • A ribonucleic acid (RNA) is one of the two types of nucleic acids found in living organisms. An RNA molecule represents a long chain of monomers called nucleotides. The sequence of nucleotides of an RNA molecule constitutes its primary structure, and the pattern of pairing between nucleotides determines the secondary structure of an RNA. Non-coding RNA genes produce transcripts that exert their function without ever producing proteins. Predicting the secondary structure of non-coding RNAs is very important for understanding their functions. We focus on Nussinov's algorithm as useful techniques for predicting RNA secondary structures. We introduce a new traceback matrix and scoring table to improve above algorithm. And the improved algorithm provides better levels of performance than the originals.

  • Micro ribonucleic acids (miRNAs) can regulate the protein expression levels of genes in the human body and have recently been reported to be closely related to the cause of disease. Determining the genes related to miRNAs will aid in understanding the mechanisms underlying complex miRNAs. However, the identification of miRNA-related genes through wet experiments (in vivo, traditional methods are time- and cost-consuming). To overcome these problems, recent studies have investigated the prediction of miRNA relevance using deep learning models. This study presents a method for predicting the relationships between miRNAs and genes. First, we reconstruct a negative dataset using the proposed method. We then extracted the feature using an autoencoder, after which the feature vector was concatenated with the original data. Thereafter, the concatenated data were used to train a long short-term memory model. Our model exhibited an area under the curve of 0.9609, outperforming previously reported models trained using the same dataset.

  • 감자 걀쪽바이로이드(PSTV) RNA분자를 포함한 저분자량의 식물성 RNA분자에 대해서 0M부터 8M까지의 요소농도구배를 가진 폴리아크릴아마이드겔을 이용하여 1/40, 1/10로 희석한 완충액조건과 $17^{\circ}C,\;37^{\circ}C,\;57^{\circ}C$의 온도조건에서 전기영동을 실시하였다. 바이로이드의 RNA분자가 환상과 선상의 두가지 분자로 나뉘어지는 변성조건에서는 1/40로 희석한 TBE완충액을 포함하는 요소농도구배겔을 $57^{\circ}$에서 전기영동을 실시하는 것이 효과적이었다. 변성된 환상의 바이로이드분자에 대한 전기 영동적 이동성은 주로 요소의 농도에 따라 영향을 받는 것으로 보이는데, 이와 더불어 저 농도의 TBE완충액이 요소농도구배겔에서 환상과 선상바이로이드분자 사이에서 전기영동적 분리를 증가시켜 주었다.
