  • In this work, a 1.9-kb region of enterococcal plasmid p703/5 was isolated and the nucleotide sequence analysis of the region was performed. One major open reading frame (ORF) was identified encoding a polypeptide of 28 kDa. Database comparisons suggested that the protein showed some homology with other bacterial RepA proteins. Upstream of the ORF, a potential dnaA box, AT-rich region and 22-bp tandemly repeated sequences (DNA iterons), a feature typical for many replication ori sites, were recognized. Deletion analysis using Exonuclease III and several restriction enzymes indicated that the three elements and the gene product from the ORF were essential for replication and that the minimum unit of DNA required for replication resided on the 1.2-kb AvaII subfragment. Thus, this gene product was referred to as RepA.

  • The present study examines the micro-pattern replication on a plastic film using ultrasonic imprinting. Ultrasonic imprinting uses ultrasonic waves to generate repetitive microscale deformation in the polymer film. The resulting deformation heat on the surface of the film causes the surface region to soften sufficiently so that a replication of the micro-pattern can be obtained. To successfully replicate the micro-pattern on a large area of polymer film, a high replication ratio is needed as well as good uniformity over the entire region. In this study, a horn design is investigated by finite element analysis and is optimized through a response surface analysis. In the ultrasonic imprinting experiments, the response surface method was also used to determine the optimal processing conditions for better replication characteristics.

  • Point mutations in a highly conserved central region of the HIV-1 integrase protein were analyzed for their effects on viral replication and virion morphogenesis. Conservative amino acid replacements of two amino acid residues invariant un retroviral integrases, D116 and E152 of HIV-1, as well as the highly conserved amino acid S147, completely blocked viral replication in two CD4$\^$+/ human T cell lines. Mutation of four other highly conserved amino acids in the region had no detectable effect on viral replication, while Mutations at two positions, N117 and Y143, resulted in viruses with a delayed replication phenotype. Characteristic and reproducible defects id virion core structure were observed by electron microscopic analysis of sore of the replication defective integrase point mutants, indicating that mutant integrase proteins can interfere with the process of virion core maturation.

  • Edwardsiella piscicida is the causative agent of edwardsiellosis, which has caused enormous economic losses worldwide. In our previous research, an attenuated live vaccine known as WED and based on the virulent strain E. piscicida EIB202 can effectively protect turbots against edwardsiellosis via intraperitoneal injection, while vaccination by immersion exhibits a weaker effect. During the development of the immersion vaccine, we surprisingly found the counts of ${\Delta}pEIB202/EIB202$ colonized on zebrafish were 100 times lower than those of EIB202. However, pEIB202 carries 53 predicted ORFs and has several copies in E. piscicida EIB202, impeding the study of its function. Thus, the replication region is located at a 1,980 bp fragment (from 18,837 to 20,816 bp), containing a transcriptional repressor and a replication protein. Moreover, the minimal replication plasmid, named pRep-q77, has low copies in both E. coli and E. piscicida, but is more stable in E. piscicida than in E. coli. This work lays a foundation for further examination of the function of the virulence plasmid pEIB202.

  • A replication initiation gene was identified and its nucleotide sequence has been determined from a 3.8 kb, chloramphenicol acethyltransferase conferring R-plasmid pSBK203 of Staphylococcus aures. Location of the replication related region of pSBK 203 was determined by interuption with pUC 119 at XBaI and MspI sites which resulted in inactivation of replication in Bacilius subtilis. Base sequence of this region revealed on open reading frame of 942 base pairs, which encoded a 314 amino acid protein. Base sequence homology with other rep of pT181 family plasmids such as pT181, pC221, pC223, pS194, pU112, and pCW7 was ranged from 78% to 97% and the predicted amino acid sequence homology was from 72% to 95%.

  • IciA protein has been shown as an inhibitor for the initiation of E. coli chromosomal DNA replication at oriC. IciA protein binds the AT-rich region in oriC and then blocks the initiation of chromosomal DNA replication. Two binding sites for IciA protein were identified in dnaA gene, encoding the initiator for the E. coli chromosomal replication, promoter region by gel-shift assay and DNase I footprinting, One, named as IciA site I, is located upstream of the dnaA promoter 1P. The other, named as IciA site II, is located downstream of the dnaA promoter 2P. The sequence comparison of the regions protected from the DNase I cleavage did not result in a clear consensus sequence for the binding of IciA protein, suggesting that IciA protein may be a member of multimeric complex dsDNA binding proteins. This study provided information about the binding mode of IciA protein. Even though the IciA site II and IciA binding site in oriC seem to be composed of two IciA binding units, one binding unit is likely enough to cause the binding of IciA protein to the IciA site I. The binding of IciA protein to the dna4 promoter implies that IciA protein may involve not only the control of the initiation of chromosomal DNA replication but also the control of the dna4 gene expression.

  • 구제역(Foot-and-Mouth Disease: FMD)이란 소, 돼지, 양, 염소 등의 cloven-hoofed 동물에서 나타나는 바이러스성 질병으로 입, 코, 유두, 발굽 등에 수포가 형성되는 것이 특징이다. 일곱 가지 혈청형(O, A, C, Asia1, SAT1, SAT2 and SAT3)으로 분류되는 구제역바이러스(Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus: FMDV)는 single stranded positive RNA virus로 nonenveloped capsid virus이다. Viral genome은 8.2 Kb로 하나의 ORF인 polyprotein으로 되어있으며, 크게 capsid protein coding region인 P1, replication related protein coding region인 P2, RNA dependent RNA polymerase coding region인 P3로 구성된다. FMDV는 respiratory tract의 pharynx epithelial cell에 감염되며, lung epithelial cell에서 replication을 한다. 구제역바이러스는 감염율은 높지만 낮은 치사율을 가진다. 2002년 한국에서 구제역이 발병하여 많은 경제적 손실을 입었다. FMDV의 감염을 조절할 수 있는 조절방법이 없는 실정이며, 현재 많은 나라에서는 구제역바이러스의 감염을 막을 수 있는 효과적인 방법을 연구하고 있다. 본 보고서에서는 FMD에 대한 보다 효과적인 예방법인 DNA vaccine, edible vaccine, peptide vaccine에 대해 고찰하였다.

  • It is expected that per-user customized services are widely used in next generation Personal Communication Network. To provide personalized services for each call, per-user service profiles are frequently referenced and signaling traffic is considerably large. Since the service calls are requested from the places where user stays, we can expect that the traffic is localized. In this paper, we propose a new service profile replication scheme, named Follow-Me Replication with local Anchor (FMRA). By replicating user's service profile in a user-specific location area, local anchor of each region, the signaling traffic for call and mobility can be distributed to local network. We compared the performance of the FMRA with two typical schemes: Intelligent Network-based !Central scheme and IMT-2000 based full replication scheme, as we refer it to Follow-Me Replication Unconditional (FMRU). Performance results indicate that FMRA lies between Central and FMRU schemes according to call to mobility ratio, and we identified the efficient ranges of CMR for FMRA depending on the various network parameters.
