Temperature-sensitive yeast mutants were used to screen for cell cycle-related genes from Pleurotus eryngii genomic DNA. A mushroom genomic DNA library was established and each gene was screened for the ability to rescue seven Saccharomyces cerevisiae temperature-sensitive strains. Hundreds of yeast transformants were selected at restrictive temperatures over $30^{\circ}C$. Plasmids from the transformants that survived were isolated and transformed back into their host strains. The temperature sensitivity of the resulting transformants was tested from $30^{\circ}C$ to $37^{\circ}C$. Ten DNA fragments from P. eryngii were able to rescue yeast temperature-sensitive strains, and their DNA sequences were determined.

ras oncogene은 암조직이나 transformed human cell line에서 거의 공통적으로 발견되는 oncogene으로서 그 product인 p2l 단백질은 C-terminal 25개의 아미노산 외에는 거의 동일한 배열을 가지고 있는 매우 conservative한 단백질이며 C-terminal cysteine이 carboxy methylation되어 있고 또한 palmitic acid와 같은 long chain fatty acid도 결합되어 있다. 보고된 바에 의하면 p21 protein의 palmitation은 ras protein의 세포막에 대한 친화력을 유지시키며 이와 같은 친화력은 cell transforming activity의 기본요건으로 알려져 있다. 이와 같은 관점에서 볼때 p21 단백질의 C-terminal processing현상을 new drug target으로, 즉 p2l 단백질의 C-terminal processing을 억제하므로서 cell transforming activity를 저해 할 수 있을 것이므로 생체내에 존재하는 p21 단백질 C-terminal processing 억제제의 identification 및 purification은 항암제 연구와 밀접한 관계가 있다. 구체적으로 farnesyl-protein transferase inhibitor 혹은 carboxyl methyl inhibitor의 identification 및 purification은 이같은 목적을 달성 할 수 있는 가능성이 크다.

In this paper, we focus on maximizing weighted sum energy efficiency (EE) for a multi-cell multi-user channel. In order to solve this non-convex problem, we first decompose the original problem into a sequence of parallel subproblems which can optimized separately. For each subproblem, a base station employs dirty paper coding to maximize the EE for users within a cell while regulating interference induced to other cells. Since each subproblem can be transformed to a convex multiple-access channel problem, the proposed method provides a closed-form solution for power allocation. Then, based on the derived optimal covariance matrix for each subproblem, a local optimal solution is obtained to maximize the sum EE. Finally, simulation results show that our algorithm based on non-linear precoding achieves about 20 percent performance gains over the conventional linear precoding method.

A lectin from the edible mushroom, Lentinus edodes, was purified through physiological saline extraction, ammonium sulfate fractionation and column chromatographies. On polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, 0.05M fraction from hydroxyapatite column exhibited adjacent four sharp bands. The partially purified lectin agglutinated the erythrocytes of rabbit, mouse and rat, but not agglutinated human erythrocytes. The lectin's mitogenic effects were tested by its application to human and murine splenic lymphocytes. The results showed that the 0.05M fraction from hydroxyapatite was mitogenic, and the optimal dose of Lentinus edodes lectin was slightly lower than Con A by the culture with murine splenic and human peripheral lymphocytes. Meanwhile, its ability to agglutinate transformed cells was tested by its administration to continuous cell lines L1210 and HeLa cells. The leetin was found to be an agglutinin of tumor cell lines tested by L1210 and HeLa cells.

D-type cyclins control the onset of cell division and the response to extracellular signals during the G1 phase. In this study, we transformed a D-type cyclin gene, Nicta;CycD3;4, from Nicotiana tabacum using an Agrobacterium-mediated method. A predicted 1.1 kb cyclin gene was present in all of the transgenic plants, but not in wild-type. Northern analyses showed that the expression level of the Nicta;CycD3;4 gene in all of the transgenic plants was strong when compared to the wild-type plants, suggesting that Nicta;CycD3;4 gene driven by the CaMV 35S promoter was being overexpressed. Our results revealed that transgenic plants overexpressing Nicta;CycD3;4 had an accelerated growth rate when compared to wild-type plants, and that the transgenic plants exhibited a smaller cell size and a decreased cell population in young leaves when compared to wild-type plants.

A plasmid vector containing two reporter genes, mer-lux and lac-GFP, was transformed to both Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas putida. Their cellular activities and biofilm characteristics were investigated in flow-cell units by measuring bioluminescent lights and fluorescent levels of GFP. Bioluminescence was effective to monitor temporal cell activities, whereas fluorescent level of GFP was useful to indicate the overall cell activities during biofilm development. The light production rates of E. coli and P. putida cultures were dependent upon concentrations of HgCl2. Mercury molecules entrapped in P. putida biofilms were hardly washed out in comparison with those in E. coli biofilms, indicating that P. putida biofilms may have higher affinity to mercury molecules than E. coli biofilms. It was observed that P. putida expressed GFP cDNA in biofilms but not in liquid cultures. This may indicate that the genetic mechanisms of P. putida were favorably altered in biofilm conditions to make a foreign gene expression possible.

In this study, the poor electro-transformant yield of large DNA in bifidobacteria was improved by increasing the DNA concentration, which was amplified by enhancing electroporation conditions: treating the cell wall weakening agent and cell membrane permeabilizing molecule as well as changing the electrical parameter. In the enhanced conditions, the electroporation frequency increased from 15 to 71 times compared to the initial conditions at the same DNA concentration. As the DNA concentration increased, the difference in the electroporation frequency between the two conditions became greater, and the curve of the enhanced conditions seemed to be saturated with a DNA concentration over $4{\mu}g$. The present study provided a clue to the recovery of the electroporation frequency with large DNA and formulated the relationship between the DNA concentration, the DNA size and the electroporation frequency in bifidobacteria. Therefore, this study will contribute to the expansion of molecular genetic studies of bifidobacteria.

Fish ovarian germline stem cells (OGSCs) that have the abilities to self-renew and differentiate into functional gametes can be used in various researches and applications. A main issue to be solved for effective utilization of fish OGSCs is the development of their stable in vitro culture condition, but only few researches about fish OGSC culture have been reported so far. In this study, in order to find the clues to develop the culture condition for OGSCs from Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes), we tried to establish somatic cell lines as a candidate for the feeder cells and evaluated its supporting effects on the culture of ovarian cell populations from O. latipes. As the results, the somatic cell lines could be established only from the embryonic tissues among three tissues derived from embryos, fins and ovaries. Three embryonic cell lines were tested as a feeder cell for the culture of ovarian cell population and all three cell lines induced cell aggregation formation of the cultured ovarian cells whereas the feeder-free condition did not. Furthermore, a significant cellular proliferation was observed in the ovarian cells cultured on two of three cell lines. As a trial to increase the capacity of the cell lines as a feeder cell that supports the proliferation of the cultured ovarian cells, we subsequently established a stable line that expresses the foreign O. latipes fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) from an embryonic cell line and evaluated its effectiveness as a feeder cell. The ovarian cells cultured on FGF2 expressing feeder cells still formed cell aggregates but did not show a significant increase in cellular proliferation compared to those cultured on non-transformed feeder cells. The results from this study will provide the fundamental information for in vitro culture of medaka OGSCs.
