  • In Japan, the P1 protein (S-type) encoded by leek yellow stripe virus (LYSV) isolates detected in Honshu and southward is shorter than the P1 (N-type) of LYSV isolates from garlic grown in Hokkaido due to a large deletion in the N-terminal half. In garlic fields in Hokkaido, two types of LYSV isolate with N- and S-type P1s are sometimes found in mixed infections. In this study, we confirmed that N- and S-type P1 sequences were present in the same plant and that they belong to different evolutionary phylogenetic groups. To investigate how LYSV with S-type P1 (LYSV-S) could have invaded LYSV with N-type P1 (LYSV-N)-infected garlic, we examined wild Allium spp. plants in Hokkaido and found that LYSV was almost undetectable. On the other hand, in Honshu, LYSV-S was detected at a high frequency in Allium spp. other than garlic, suggesting that the LYSV-S can infect a wider host range of Allium spp. compared to LYSV-N. Because P1 proteins of potyviruses have been reported to promote RNA silencing suppressor (RSS) activity of HC-Pro proteins, we analyzed whether the same was true for P1 of LYSV. In onion, contrary to expectation, the P1 protein itself had RSS activity. Moreover, the RSS activity of S-type P1 was considerably stronger than that of N-type P1, suggesting that LYSV P1 may be able to enhance its RSS activity when the deletion is in the N-terminal half and that acquiring S-type P1 may have enabled LYSV to expand its host range.

  • The complete nucleotide sequences of genomic RNA of an isolate of soybean mosaic virus (SMV-CN18), which has ability to overcome Rsv resistance of soybean, have been determined. A large open reading frame encodes a polyprotein of 3068 amino acids with a predicted Mr of 350 kDa. Based on comparison with the proposed cleavage site of other potyviral polyproteins, nine mature proteins are predicted as a following order, P1, HC-Pro, P3, CI, 6K, VPg, NIa, NIb and coat protein (CP). The mature proteins of the strain share various amino acid identity with known SMV-G2, -G7 and -N strain, with the greatest variability occurring in the P1 (91 %, 88 %, 96%)and the lowest variability in the CP (100 %, 99 %, 100 %). In addition, 5' untranslated region determined by 5' RACE is much more various than any coding regions. Difference in amino acid sequences throughout the genome is discussed in relation to resistance and susceptibility of soybean cultivars to SMV-CNl8.

  • 주기와 같은 반복문자열에 대한 연구는 데이터압축, 컴퓨터활용 음악분석, 바이오인포매틱스 등 다양한 분야에서 진행되고 있다. 바이오인포매틱스 분야에서 주기는 유전자 서열이 반복적으로 나타나는 종렬중복과 밀접한 관련이 있으며 이는 근사문자열매칭을 이용한 근사주기 연구와 관련이 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 근사주기에 대한 정의를 보완하는 거리합기반 근사주기를 정의하고 이에 대한 연구 결과를 제시한다. 길이가 각각 m과 n인 문자열 p와 x가 주어졌을 때, p의 x에 대한 거리합기반 최소 근사주기거리를 가중편집거리에 대해 $O(mn^2)$ 시간, 편집거리에 대해 O)(mn) 시간, 해밍거리에 대해 O(n) 시간에 계산하는 알고리즘을 제시한다.

  • A sequence ${X_j : j \geq 1}$ of random variables is said to be pairwise positive quadrant dependent (pairwise PQD) if for any real $r-i,r_j$ and $i \neq j$ $$ P{X_i > r_i,X_j > r_j} \geq P{X_i > r_i}P{X_j > r_j} $$ (see [8]) and a sequence ${X_j : j \geq 1}$ of random variables is said to be associated if for any finite collection ${X_{i(1)},...,X_{j(n)}}$ and any real coordinatewise nondecreasing functions f,g on $R^n$ $$ Cov(f(X_{i(1)},...,X_{j(n)}),g(X_{j(1)},...,X_{j(n)})) \geq 0, $$ whenever the covariance is defined (see [6]). Instead of association Cox and Grimmett's [4] original central limit theorem requires only that positively linear combination of random variables are PQD (cf. Theorem $A^*$).

  • 제주도 한라산에 자라는 한라송이풀은 고유종 Pedicularis hallaisanensis Hurusawa로 인식되고 있다. 한편 이 식물은 근연종인 P. amoena, 구름송이풀 또는 이삭송이풀과 형태적으로 유사하여 분류학적 처리가 혼동되어왔다. 본 연구는 이 식물의 분류학적 위치를 파악하기 위하여 한라송이풀과 근연종을 대상으로 외부형태 및 핵 리보소옴 DNA 염기서열을 조사하였다. 한라산의 이 식물은 꽃받침 열편, 화판 상순과 하순의 길이 비, 식물체의 선모 밀도, 개화기 근생엽의 유무 및 염기서열 자료에서 P. amoena 및 구름송이풀과는 뚜렷한 차이를 보였다. 하지만 한라송이풀은 외부형태 및 ITS 염기서열에서 동북아에 분포하는 이삭송이풀과 뚜렷이 구별되지 않았다. 본 연구의 형태 및 분자생물학적 자료는 한라송이풀이 이삭송이풀로 통합되는 것을 지지하였다.

  • N4 phage, which infects E. coli K-12 strains, could not infect E. coli K-12 strains containing rtn(resistant to N4) gene on plasmids, which was isolated from Proteus vulgaris ATCC 13315. The region of rtn gene for Rtn phenotype was reduced to the 1.7 kb HincII-AccI fragment, and rtn gene seemed to have its own promoter. This putative promoter was present in 107 bp HindII-DraI fragment, and known to be functional in E. cole K-12, which is supported by the fact that phenotype of a subclone, pRMG103A1B which does not contain the 107 bp fragment, was dependent on the existance of a functional promoter in the upstream of rtn gene, and that the 107 bp fragment had promoter activity when located in the upstream of structural gene of galactodinase of E. coli. The promoter-bearing fragment contains two overlapping putative promoter sequences, both of which show a fit in eight of twelve nucleotides with consensus sequences of E. coli promoters at the -35 and -10 regions.

  • Let $A_1,A_2,\cdots,A_m$ and $B_1,B_2,\cdots,B_n$ be two sequences of events on a given probability space. Let $X_m$ and $Y_n$, respectively, be the number of those $A_i$ and $B_j$, which occur we establish new upper and lower bounds on the probability $P(X=r, Y=t)$ which improve upper bounds and classical lower bounds in terms of the bivariate binomial moment $S_{r,t},S_{r+1,t},S_{r,t+1}$ and $S_{r+1,t+1}$.

  • Pseudomonas sp. K82 cultured in p-hydroxybenzoate induces protocatechuate 4,5-dioxygenase (PCD 4,5) for p-hydroxybenzoate degradation. In this study, a 6.0-kbp EcoR1 fragment containing p-hydroxybenzoate degradation genes was cloned from the genome of Pseudomonas sp. K82. Sequence analysis identified four genes, namely, pcaD, pcaA, pcaB, and pcaC genes known to be involved in p-hydroxybenzoate degradation. Two putative 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenases and one putative oxidoreductase were closely located by the p-hydroxybenzoate degradation genes. The gene arrangement and sequences of these p-hydroxybenzoate degradation genes were similar to those of Comamonas testosteroni and Pseudomonas ochraceae. PcaAB (PCD4,5) was overexpressed in the expression vector pGEX-4T-3, purified using a GST column, and confirmed to have protocatechuate 4,5-dioxygenase activity. The N-terminal amino acid sequences of overexpressed PCD4,5 were identical with those of purified PCD4,5 from Pseudomonas sp. K82.

  • The six lumbrokinase fractions (F1 to F6) with fibrinolytic activities were purified from earthworm Lumbricus rubellus lysates using the procedures of autolysis, ammonium sulfate fractionation, and column chromatography. The proteolytic activities on the casein substrate of the six iso-enzymes ranged from 11.3 to 167.5 unit/mg with the rank activity orders of F2 > F1 > F5 > F6 > F3 > F4. The fibrinolytic activities of the six fractions on the fibrin plates ranged from 20.8 to 207.2 unit/mg with rank orders of F6 > F2 > F5 > F3 > F1 > F4. The molecular weights of each iso-enzyme, as estimated by SDS-PAGE, were 24.6 (F1), 26.8 (F2), 28.2 (F3), 25.4 (F4), 33.1 (F5), and 33.0 kDa (F6), respectively. The plasminogen was activated into plasmin by the enzymes. The optimal temperature of the six iso-enzymes was $50^{\circ}C$, and the optimal pH ranged from pH 4-12. The four iso-enzymes (F1-F4) were completely inhibited by PMSF. The two enzymes (F5 and F6) were completely inhibited by aprotinin, TLCK, TPCK, SBTI, LBTI, and leupeptin. The N-terminal amino acid (aa) sequences of the first 20 to 22 residues of each fraction had high homology. All six isoenzymes had identical aa residues 2-3 and 13-15. The N-terminal 21-22 aa sequences of the F2, F3, and F4 isoenzymes were almost the same. The N-terminal aa sequences of F5 and F6 were identical.
