Copper resistance in Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato is determined by copper-resistance operon (cop) on a highly conserved 35 kilobase plasmid. Copper-resistant strains of Pseudomonas syringae containing the cop operon accumulate copper and develop blue clonies on copper-containing media. The protein products of the copper-resistance operon were characterized to provide an understanding of the copper-resistance mechanism and its relationship to copper accumulation. The Cop proteins CopA (72 kDa), CopB (39 kDa), and CopC (12 kDa) were produced only under copper induction. CopA and CopC were periplasmic proteins and CopB was an outer membrane protein. Leader peptide sequences of CopA, CopB, and CopC were confirmed by amino-terminal peptide sequencing. CopA, CopB, and CopC were purified from strain PT23.2, and their copper contents were determined. One molecule of CopA bound 10.9${\pm}$1.2 atoms of copper and one molecule of CopC bound 0.6${\pm}$0.1 atom of copper. P. syringae cells containing copCD or copBCD cloned behind the lac promoter were hypersensitive to copper. The CopD (32 kDa), a probable inner membrane protein, function in copper uptake with CopC. The Cop proteins apparently mediate sequestration of copper outside of the cytoplasm as a copper-resistance mechanism.

곤충 유전자를 이용한 항세균성 펩타이드 생산 및 응용에 관한 기초 연구로서 비병원성 세균(Escherichia coli K12)으로 면역 반응을 유도한 누에로부터 발현량이 증가하는 유전자 중 Hyalophora cecropia의 attacin과 cDNA 상동성을 나타내는 BmInc6 클론을 분리하고 그 특성을 조사하였다. BmInc6 cDNA의 전체염기서열을 분석한 결과 그 크기는 852 bp이고, 35번째 염기에서 변역이 개시되어 679 bp 위치에서 종결되는 open reading frame을 가지며 812번째 위치에 잠정 전사 종결 신호의 존재가 확인되었다(GenBank, AF005384). BmInc6에 의해 coding되는 아미노산은 214개이며, hydropathy 분석 결과 친수성을 나타내는 단백질이었다. 그리고 BmInc6 유전자에 의해 연역되는 펩타이드를 nuecin으로 명명하였다. Nuecin 유전자를 baculovirus 발현 백터계를 이용하여 곤충세포주에서 발현시킨 결과 전사체의 크기는 약 950 bp였고, 세포내 벌현 펩타이드의 분자량은 약 23 kDa이었다. 세포내에서 발현된 nuecin 전구체로 추정되는 23 kDa 펩타이드는 세포외로 분비되는 과정에서 약 3 kDa의 signal 펩타이드가 제거됨으로서 약 20 kDa의 성숙 nuecin으로 된다는 사실을 단백질 전기영동상으로 확인하였다. Nuecin 단백질의 항세균 활성을 수종의 그람 음성 및 양성 세균에 대해 검정한 결과, 특히 E. coli와 Bacillus subtilis에 높은 활성을 나타내었으며, attacin이 한정된 그람 음성 세균에만 항세균 활성을 나타내는데 비해 nuecin은 그람 음성은 물론 그람 양성에도 항세균 활성을 나타내어, 보다 넓은 항세균 스펙트럼을 가지는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In the particulate fraction obtained from PKC-down regulated K562 cells by treatment for 24 h with 200nM TPA, phosphorylation of two proteins with molecular weight, 100 kDa and 23 kDa (designated p100 and p23, respectvely) was depleted and addition of exogenous purified PKC to this fraction failed to testore their phosphorylation. However, in the soluble fraction, all of phosphoproteins abolished by long-term treatment with TPA were restored by exogenously added PKC. Phosphorylation of two proteins was increased by short-term tretment (20 min), and diminished with the persistant exposure to TPA as well as at a concentration as low as 1nM. When K562 cells were treated with 1 nM and 200 nM TPA for 24 h, phosphorylation of p100 was restored with or without exogenous PKC on 2-3day and 6day after removal of treated TPA, respectively. Two-dimensional electrophoresis of phosphoproteins revealed that phosphorylated p100 (pl=5.9) and p66 species were completely absent from the particulate fraction of K562 cells treated with 200nM TPA for 24 h. These results suggest that the interaction of sensitive endogenous substrates, p100 and p23 with the plasma membrane might be regulated by PKC-down regulation without displacement to the cytosol and the interaction of p100 with the membrane might be reveersible.

혈청내 특이 항체가를 측정하여 폐흡충증을 면역학적으로 진단할 경우 그 민감도와 특이도가 뛰어난 것은 이미 잘 알려져 있다. 이때에 항원으로 사용하는 폐홉충 추출액의 구성 단백질 중 항원성과 특이성이 높은 단백질을 알면 항원을 질적으로 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대하고 있다. 최근 SDS-PAGE/immuoblot을 이용하여 환자 혈청내의 특이 항체(IgG)와 민감하게 반응하는 폐흡충의 수용성(수준성) 항원 단백질 분획이 보고되고 있다. 그러나 이 단백질 분획은 SDS-PAGE 후 특이항체와 반응한 polypeptide 수준의 subunit이어서 이들이 분해되기 전 성분 단백질 어느 것에서 유래한 것인지를 전혀 알 수 없는 단점이 있다. 따라서, 이와 같은 문제를 해결하고 나아가 종특이(종특리) 항원 단백질을 찾기 위해서는 분해, 변성되기 전의 성분 단백질의 성질을 파악할 필요가 있다. 이 실험에서는 폐흡충 성충 생리식염수 추출액내의 구성 단백질을 파악하고 그 분자량을 측정하기 위하여 Disc-PAGE를 이용한 Ferguson plot과 column chromatography를 실시하였다. 우선 폐홉충 추출액을 4.5~10%까지의 각기 다른 gel 농도에서 전기영동을 실시한 결과 추출액은 최소 8개 이상의 주요 성분 단백질로 구성되어 있었고 각각의 분자량은 band 1은 440kDa, band 2는 386kDa, band 3은 17.4kDa, band 4는 17k3a, band 5는 14.3kDa, band 6은 46kDa, band 7은 38kDa 그리고 band 8은 23k3a 이었다. 이어 추출액을 $1.6({\Phi}){\times}70cm$의 Sephacryl S-300 Supcrfne column을 통과시켜 7분획을 얻은 후 각 분 획을 다시 85 gel에서 전기영동으로 확인한 결과 band 1은 1~3분회, band 2는 2,3분회, band 3은 5분획, band 4는 5,6분획, band 5는 5분획, band 6,7은 3,4분획, band 8은 5분회에서 각각 관찰되어 Ferguson plot에 의해 계산한 분자량과 유사한 결과를 보이고 있었다.

A potexvirus, Hosta virus X (HVX-Kr), causing mosaic and mottle symptoms was isolated from hosta plants (Hosta spp.), and its entire genome RNA sequence was determined. in Korea using cDNA library and RACE methods. The genome of HVX encodes five open reading frames coding for viral replicase, triple gene block (TGB), and viral coat protein (CP) from the 5'to 3' ends, which is a typical genome structure of potexviruses. The 3-terminal region of the virus includes the TGBI (26 kDa), TGB2 (13 kDa), TGB3 (8 kDa), and 23 kDa coat protein (CP) and the 3-nontranslated region (NTR). The CP gene of the type isolate of HVX (HVX-U) was amplified by RT-PCR and its nucleotide sequence was determined. The CPs of HVX-Kr and HVX-U had 100％ and 98.9％ identical amino acids and nucleotides, respectively. Most of the regions of the genome HVX had over 50％ nucleotide identical to other sequenced potexviruses. This is the first report of complete genome sequence information of HVX and molecular evidence supporting the virus as a distinct species of the genus Potexvirus.

A novel recombinant baculovirus Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus (ACNPV) producing the green fluorescent polyhedra was constructed and characterized. The recombinant virus was stably produced fluorescent polyhedra in the infected cells and the morphology of the polyhedra was nearly similar to that of wild-type AcNPV. For the production of the fluorescent polyhedral the green fluorescent protein (GFP) gene was introduced under the control of polyhedrin gene promoter of AcNPV by translational fusion in the front and back of intact polyhedrin gene. The recombinant baculovirus was named as CXEP, As expected, the 93 kDa fusion protein was expressed in the CXEP-infected cells. Interestingly, however, the cells infected with CXEP also showed a 33 kDa protein band as cells infected with wild-type AcNPV. The results of Southern blot analysis and plaque assay suggested that two types of baculoviruses expressing the GFP fusion protein or only native polyhedrin were formed through homologous recombination between two polyhedrin genes in the same orientation. Thus, this system can be applied for the production of recombinant polyhedra with foreign gene product of diverse interest.

Paenibacillus는 호기성의 내생포자를 형성하는 그람양성균으로써 이전에는 Bacillus로 분류되었다. Paenibacillus sp. CK214 균주는 LB agar 평판배지에서 높은 swarming 운동 능력을 가지고 Paenibacillus 특유의 집락 형태를 나타내었지만 glucose가 첨가된 평판배지에서는 운동 능력을 상실하였다. 투과전자현미경(TEM)을 이용하여 glucose 조건에 따른 CK214 균주의 편모를 관찰하면 LB agar 평판배지에서 배양한 CK214 균주는 주모성의 편모를 가지는 반면 glucose를 첨가한 평판배지에서 배양한 CK214 균주의 경우 주모성 편모가 나타나지 않는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 물리적 충격과 원심분리를 통해 분리한 CK214 균주의 filament 구성 단백질을 SDS-PAGE를 통해 확인하였으며, 약 29 kDa 크기의 단일 단백질 밴드가 나타났다. Edwardsiella tarda 균주의 flagellin 단백질에 특이적인 항체를 이용한 immunoblotting 수행 결과, 이 단일 단백질 밴드는 flagellin 단백질임이 확인되었다. Glucose조건에 따른 CK214 균주의 flagellin 단백질의 발현을 단백질 수준에서 관찰한 결과, glucose가 첨가된 조건에서 생장한 CK214 균주에서의 flagellin 단백질 발현이 glucose가 없는 조건일 때에 비해 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

It has long been known that Jahage(紫河車) extracts of Placenta hominis are effective for immunological and vascular diseases in human body and thus, was used a major constituent of traditional oriental medicines. From full-term human placenta, we have purified a new type anticoagulant protein, PP27, using different chromatographic techniques of a phenyl TSK gel 650M column, DEAE, HA and Mono-Q columns. PP27 showed single band on SDS-PAGE with a molecular mass (Mr) of 27 kDa under denaturing conditions and a calibrated Sepharose 4B column chromatography indicated a molecular mass of 23 kDa, indicating that the value is similar to those of other PP4 enzyme reported to date. Isoelectric point of PP27 was p15.2. The protein was found to inhibit the coagulation time in a concentration-dependent manner. PP27 was acted as a vascular anticoagulant of annexin type, inhibits the blood clotting process by binding of the essential lipids in a reaction which is dependent on $Ca2^+$ ions. In the presence of $Ca2^+$ ions, PP27 combines with platelet membranes neutralizing their procoagulant effect. Coagulation triggered by the addition of thromboplastin/ lipid- mixtures is extinguished by PP27.
