발아효모 Saccharomyces cerevisiae의 핵공단백질인 Nic96 단백질과 유사성을 보이는 분열효모 Schizosaccharomyces pombe의 Nup97의 기능과 세포 내 위치를 조사하였다. nup97을 과 발현시켰을 때는 생장과 $poly(A)^{+}$ RNA의 분포에 별다른 이상을 보이지 않았다. 하지만, $kan^{r}$ 유전자를 이용하여 제작한 ${\Delta}nup97$ 결실돌연변이는 nup97의 발현이 억제되면, $poly(A)^{+}$ RNA가 핵 안에 축적되었고 비정상적인 DNA 분포를 보였으며 결국 생장하지 못했다. 한편, Nup97p의 N말단 또는 C말단에 GFP를 붙인 Nup97-GFP 융합단배질의 세포 내 위치를 확인하고자 하였다. 이러한 융합단백질들이 ${\Delta}nup97$ 결실돌연변이의 생장결함을 정상적으로 상보하는 것을 확인하고, nup97-GFP 유전자를 염색체의 nup97 유전자 위치에 삽입한 균주를 제작하였다. 자신의 프로모터에서 발현된 Nup97-GFP 융합단백질은 정상적인 기능을 보였으며, 핵막 주위에 점점 이 위치하였다. 이와 같은 결과들은 Nup97 단백질 역시 핵공단배질로 mRNA의 핵에서 세포질로의 이동에 중요하다는 것을 시사한다.

A novel ${\alpha}-glucoside$ hydrolase (named PspAG97A) from glycoside hydrolase family 97 (GH97) was cloned from the deep-sea bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. K8, which was screened from the sediment of Kongsfjorden. Sequence analysis showed that PspAG97A belonged to GH97, and shared 41% sequence identity with the characterized ${\alpha}-glucoside$ BtGH97a. PspAG97A possessed three key catalytically related glutamate residues. Mutation of the glutamate residues indicated that PspAG97A belonged to the inverting subfamily of GH97. PspAG97A showed significant reversibility against changes in salt concentration. It exhibited halophilic ability and improved thermostability in NaCl solution, with maximal activity at 1.0 M NaCl/KCl, and retained more than 80% activity at NaCl concentrations ranging from 0.8 to 2.0 M for over 50 h. Furthermore, PspAG97A hydrolyzed not only ${\alpha}-1,4-glucosidic$ linkage, but also ${\alpha}-1,6-$ and ${\alpha}-1,2-glucosidic$ linkages. Interestingly, PspAG97A possessed high catalytic efficiency for long-chain substrates with ${\alpha}-1,6-linkage$. These characteristics are clearly different from other known ${\alpha}-glucoside$ hydrolases in GH97, implying that PspAG97A is a unique ${\alpha}-glucoside$ hydrolase of GH97.

Human cytomegalovirus expresses an unusual protein kinase UL97, a member of ${H_V}{U_L}$ family of protein kinase. UL97 can phosphorylate nucleoside analogs such as ganciclovir as well as protein/peptide. It has previously been reported that UL97 is able to phosphorylate a KESYSVYVYKV peptide and that P+5 position (K) is important. We examined the extent of contribution of other positions (P-4 through P+6) of the peptide to be substrate of UL97 using alanine substituted peptides (Ala scanning) and deleted peptides. The result suggested that the E (P-2) is negative effect and P+5 (K) is still important. The peptide YSVYVYK is the shortest substrate enough to show high activity, which could be a starting point to develop peptidomimetic drug. This study would give important information to deeply understand the substrate specificity of UL97 and develop an antiviral drug using the small peptide identified here.

p97, a universally conserved AAA+ ATPase, holds a central position in the ubiquitin-proteasome system, orchestrating myriad cellular activities with significant therapeutic implications. This protein primarily interacts with a diverse set of adaptor proteins through its N-terminal domain (NTD), which is structurally located at the periphery of the D1 hexamer ring. While there have been numerous structural elucidations of p97 complexed with adaptor proteins, the stoichiometry has remained elusive. In this work, we present the crystal structure of the p97-N/D1 hexamer bound to the FAF1-UBX domain at a resolution of 3.1 Å. Our findings reveal a 6:6 stoichiometry between the p97 hexamer and FAF1-UBX domain, deepening our understanding from preceding structural studies related to p97-NTD and UBX domain-containing proteins. These insights lay the groundwork for potential therapeutic interventions addressing cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.

The p97 adenosine triphosphatase is a key player in protein homeostasis, responsible for unfolding ubiquitylated substrates. It engages with various adaptor proteins through its N-terminal domain, with the p97-p47 complex attracting particular attention for its involvement in membrane remodeling. Although the structures of p97 in complex with the Ubiquitin regulatory X (UBX) domain from various adaptors have been reported, the stoichiometry is conflicting. Here, we report the crystal structure of the p97 N-D1 hexamer in complex with the p47 UBX domain at a resolution of 2.7 Å. The structure reveals a stoichiometry of 6:6 between the p97 N-D1 and the p47 UBX domain. These findings provide valuable insights into the binding stoichiometry of p97 N-D1 and p47 UBX domain, which are crucial for understanding the role of p97 and adaptor proteins in cellular processes such as the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, membrane fusion, and cell cycle regulation.

매년 어류 양식의 생산량은 증대되고 있으며, 생산량 증가를 위한 고밀도 사육은 수질 악화 및 어류들의 스트레스를 증가시켜 질병들이 잦아지게 된다. 이로 인한 경제적 피해는 어류 양식 어민들에게 있어 막대한 피해를 입게 되며, 이를 예방하기 위해 화학 요법인 항생제를 투여하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 항생제 대체 물질 및 안전 요법으로 알려진 프로바이오틱스를 분리하기 위해, 한국전통식품인 고추 장아찌와 갈치 젓갈에서 다양한 세균을 분리하였다. 분리 된 균주들은 16S rDNA 염기서열을 분석 및 동정하고, 상층액 및 균체로 나뉘어 항균 활성을 측정하였다. 고추 장아찌에서 분리된 4종과 갈치 젓갈에서 분리된 7종은 상층액 보다 균체에서 항균 활성이 높게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그 중 JKM-2는 43 mm(S. iniae), 40 mm(S. parauberis), 35 mm(S. mutans), 26.5 mm(V. vuinificus)로 가장 높은 항균 활성을 나타냈다. 본 균주의 염기서열 분석 결과, Bacillus subtilis 97.71%, Bacillus tequilensis 97.71%, Brevibacterium halotolerans 97.71%, Bacilus subtils 97.63%, Bacillus subtlis 97.63%, Bacillus mojavensis 97.54%, Bacillus vallismortis 97.46%, Bacillus nanillea 97.45%, Bacillu smethylotrophicus 97.37%, Bacillu ssiamensis 97.37%로 분석되었다. 추후 JKM-3의 신종 균주 확인과 균체 물질 규명 및 분석을 통하여 충분한 안정성을 확보하고 양식 산업에 적용시켜 항생제 대체 물질로서의 이용가치를 확인하고자 한다.

We have isolated previously three synthetic lethal mutants in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, which genetically interact with mex67, in order to identify the genes involved in mRNA export. A novel nup97 gene was isolated by complementation of the growth defect in one of the synthetic lethal mutants, SLMex3. The nup97 gene contains one intron and encodes an 851 amino-acid protein that is similar to nucleoporins, Nppl06p in S. pombe and Nic96p in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The nup97 gene is essential for vegetative growth, and nup97 null mutant harboring pREP41X-Nup97 showed $poly(A)^+$ RNA export defect when expression of nup97 is repressed in the presence of thiamine. These results suggest that nup97 is involved in mRNA export from the nucleus to cytoplasm.

항진균제를 개발하기 위하여 토양으로부터 700주의 세균, 방선균, 곰팡이를 분리하였으며, 이들 배양액을 조사한 결과 Candida albicans의 성장을 억제시킬 수 있는 LAM 97-44 균주를 항진균성 항생물질 생산균으로 선발하였다. 분리균주를 동정하기 위해 생산균 LAM 97-44 균주의 형태학적 특성, 배양학적 특성, 생리학적 특성, 균체성분 등을 조사하였다. LAM 97-44 균주는 $2{\sim}3{\times}1{\sim}1.5\;{\mu}m$ 크기의 포자를 형성하는 간균이며, 포자의 형태는 ellipsoid 형 이었다. LAM 97-44 균주는 arabinose, cellulose, xylose를 이용하지 못하였으나 fructose, glucose, glycerol, maltose, raffinose 등은 이용하는 것으로 나타났다. 지방산 분석결과는 iso-와 anteiso-인 성분으로 구성되어 있었으며, menaquinone은 Bacillus속 세균의 전형적인 isoprenoid 사슬이 7개인 menaquinone(MK-7)이었다. 이러한 결과를 종합하면 LAM 97-44 균주는 Bacillus subtilis와 유사한 균으로 동정되었다.

DHAQ-97, (2-(3-[p-bis(2-chloroethyl)aminophenyl]-2 formylaminopropanoyloxy) methy1-1,4-dihy-droxy-9,10-anthraquinone), is a novel anthraquinone derivative synthesized for use as an anti-neoplastic agent. In the present study, we have evaluated the selective cytotoxicity of DHAQ-97 by comparing its effects on viability and proliferation of human breast cancer cell line (NCF-7) versus normal immortalized breast epithelial cell line (MCF-10A). Thus, DHAQ-97 reduced both viability and proliferation of MCF-7 cells to a much greater extent than did for MCF-10A cells. The growth inhibitory and anti-proliferative properties of DHAQ-97 appear to be attributable to its ability to induce apoptosis as revealed by positive staining after in 냐셔 nick-end labeling (TUNEL), cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase, release of mitochondrial cytochrome c into cytoplasm, and increased expression of pro-apoptotic Bax protein. Recent studies have indicated possible involvement of the ubiquitous eukaryotic transcription factor, NF-kappa B (NF-kB) in the regulation of apoptotic cell death. In line induced cytotoxicity in cultured MCF-7 cells. Furthermore, mild activation of NF-kB, as determined by its increased DNA binding capability, was observed 30 min after treatment with 10$\mu\textrm{m}$ DHAQ-97. Taken together, the above findings suggest that DHAQ-97 exerts selective cytotoxicity towards cancer cells through induction of apoptosis, which appears to be regulated by NF-kB.
