  • Tracheal mite (Acarapis woodi) is an internal parasite that is parasitic on the bronchus of adult bees and sucks fluid from the trachea. Since its first report by Rennie, it has been spread throughout Europe and in some Asian regions, with adjacent Japan and China reported in 2011 and 2012, respectively. Korea detected specific genes of A. woodi in 2015, but only one of 99 samples has been identified and the being of A. woodi has not been confirmed. In this study, we established a specific nested PCR method to confirm for detecting low-copy number of A. woodi-specific gene in bee samples. As a result, A. woodi-specific COI gene was amplified in 15 of 23 samples, and they were judged positive by melting point analysis and sequencing analysis. Although we could not observe the existence of the mites in bees, our results suggest that tracheal mit might exist in nature.

  • Using Mu dJ(Km lac) operon fusion, several oxygen-regulated genetic loci were identified in Salmonella typhimurium. Nine aerobically inducible(oxi) and thirteen anaerobically inducible(ani) operon fusions were newly identified. Based on the control by oxrA regulatory locus, the ani-lacZ fusions were grouped into two classes: class I loci were regulated by oxrA regulatory locus; class II genes were not affected by this locus. Some of the ani-lacZ fusions had required growth in CAA and LB before they exhibited the inducible phinotype. Most of all ani-lacZ fusions were repressed by nitrate and fumarate. Three of the ani loci were mapped into $59{\pm}0.14$ map unit (YK114), $64{\pm}0.5$ map unit(YK120), and $93{\pm}0.29$ map unit(YK112) by testing the cotransduction frequency, respectively.

  • 알츠하이머성 치매는 현존하는 치료법이 없어 경도인지장애 단계에서의 예방이 중요하다. 지금까지의 알츠하이머 연구는 대부분이 뇌영상 마커와 뇌척수액 마커에 집중되어 있었으며, 경도 인지 장애 단계에서의 탐색은 더욱 적었다. 이러한 점에서 혈액 유전자 발현을 이용한 경도 인지장애 단계 예측은 인지 능력에 따른 관련 유전자 식별과 접근 가능한 진단 및 치료 바이오 마커 탐색에 기여할 수 있다. 그러나 유전자 발현 데이터의 경우 환자 수에 비해 높은 차원을 가지기 때문에 과적합을 막고 질병 관련 유전자를 식별하기 위해서는 데이터에서의 의미 있는 차원만을 뽑아내는 차원 축소가 선행되야 한다. 본 연구는 유전자 발현데이터에서의 인지장애 분류를 위해 차원 축소기법과 신경망을 적용하여 인지 장애 정도를 예측하였다. 그 결과, Lasso 이용 차원축소와 신경망을 이용하여 97%의 정확도로 정상과 조기 경도 인지장애, 후기 경도 인지장애 환자를 분류 할 수 있었으며, 더 적은 차원에서도 분류가 가능했다. 이는 혈액 유전자 발현을 이용해 경도 인지장애 단계를 예측한 첫 번째 연구이며, 인지능력 저하에 따른 혈액 유전자 발현의 연관성을 확인하고 향후 조기 진단, 치료 표적 탐색에 기여한다.

  • KEM1 is known to control the spindle pole body or microtubule function, probably in response to the cellular nutritional conditions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Transposon insertions were performed in the cloned KEM1 gene using mini-Tn10-LUK element carrying E. coli ${\beta}$-galactosidase structural gene. A collection of ranfom Tn10-LUK insertions defined an approximately 3.5 kb region required for the KEM1 function. From this collection functional KEM1::lacZ protein fusions were identified. Indirect immunofluorescence using anti-${\beta}$-galacatosidase antibodies localized the KEM1::lacZ fusion protein to the periphery of the nucleus.

  • 출아형 효모 Saccharomyces cerevisiae RAD3 유전자는 절제회복 및 세포의 생존에 필수적이며, DNA dependent ATPase와 DNA-RNA helicase활성을 가지고 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 분열형 효모 Schizosaccharomyces pombe에서 절제회복과 세포의 생존에 필수적인 출아형 효모 RADS유전자와 유사한 유전자를 S. pombe genomic DNA library에서 분리하여 그 특성을 연구하였다. 분리한 RADS 유사유전자를 HRD3 유전자라 명명하였다. 발현 vector pET3a를 이용하여 분리한 HRD3 유전자를 과 발현하였을 때 HRD3단백질은 숙주단백질의 합성 억제 또는 분해 촉진을 유발하여 숙주세포인 대장균에 독성 효과를 나타냄이 관찰되었다. HRD3유전자와 lacZ유전자를 융합시킨 여러 가지 재조합 vector를 만들어 이들 융합단백질을 분리하였다. 이 결과 HRD3단백질의 카르복실 말단 부위가 DNA회복기능과 대장균에서의 독성효과를 나타내는 중요한 부위로 생각된다.

  • This study was carried out to investigate the possibility of isolating the useful gene of soybean plant, anthocyanin, through NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) and molecular biology experiments. Lespedeza cuneata. G. don is a resource plant but has many useful materials. Especially, D-pinitol, which has anti-diabetic function, is contained in a large amount. However, the gene related to the biosynthesis of D-piniol has not been isolated in the non-spermatid. Lespedeza cuneata. G. don was treated with abiotic stress (drought), total RNA was extracted, and a library was constructed to perform NGS. In this way, the genes involved in D-pinitol biosynthesis were isolated and sequenced in silico. In order to support this, ononitol epimerase involved in D-pinitol amplification was identified using the Blast program and RT-PCR confirmed the increased gene expression in vitro, and the gene was isolated and identified by convergence study.

  • Genetic Algorithms have been known to provide near optimal solutions for various optimization problems in engineering. In this paper, we study the effect of gene order in genetic algorithms on the defining length of the schema with high fitness values. Its effect on the performance of genetic algorithms was also analyzed through two well known problems. A few gene reordering methods were proposed for graph partitioning and knapsack problems. Experimental results showed that genetic algorithms with gene reordering could find solutions of better qualities compared to the ones without gene reordering. It is very important to find proper reordering method for a given problem to improve the performance of genetic algorithms.

  • A yeast chromosomal superkiller gene (SK13) was cloned and expressed in $ski3^{-}$ Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains. The gene was fused to the structural region of E. coli lacZ gene at its C-terminus in a yeast-E. coli shuttle vector, pSR605. The fused gene complemented $ski3^{-}$ strains with SK13 activity and the quantitative level of expression was measured as determined by assaying $\beta$-galactosidase activity. The SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and the Western blot analysis of this fused protein showed the immuno-reacted bands with a protein of the estimated molecular size (ca.250Kd).

  • This study was conducted to investigate the characteristics of antibiotic resistant E. coli. its antibiotic susceptibility and pathogenicity were analyzed via molecular convergence technique, for the relationship of antibiotic susceptibility and pathogenicity. The 60 isolated strains consisted of ESBL(+)(8) and ESBL(-)(52) strains. The ESBL(+)(8) strains consisted of 2 strains without a pathogenic gene, stb(3), flich7(1), and flich7-eae(2). The ESBL(-)(52) strains consisted of 26 strains without a pathogenic gene, stx1(3), stb(10), flich7(2), eae(2), stx1-flich7(2), stx1-stb(4), flich7-stb(2), and flich7-stb-eae(1). In conclusion, antibiotic resistance is increasingly, Focused on molecular convergence, showed the correlation of pathogenicity with antibiotic resistance was poor. However, It will be able to find the exact pathogenic factor in the future through convergence technique including the analysis of virulence genes.
