  • The antitumor antibiotic (+)-CC-1065 can alkylate N3 of guanine in certain sequences. A previous high-field $^1H$ NMR study on the$(+)-CC-1065d[GCGCAATTG*CGC]_2$ adduct ($^*$ indicates the drug alkylation site) showed that drag modification on N3 of guanine results in protonation of the cross-strand cytosine [Park, H-J.; Hurley, L. H. J. Am. Chem. Soc.1997, 119,629]. In this contribution we describe a further analysis of the NMR data sets together with restrained molecular dynamics. This study provides not only a solution structure of the (+)-CC-1065(N3- guanine) DNA duplex adduct but also new insight into the molecular basis for the sequence- specific interaction between (+)-CC-1065 and N3-guanine in the DNA duplex. On the basis of NOESY data, we propose that the narrow minor groove at the 7T8T step and conformational kinks at the junctions of 16C17A and 18A19T are both related to DNA bending in the drugDNA adduct. Analysis of the one-dimensional $^1H$ NMR (in $H_2O$) data and rMD trajectories strongly suggests that hydrogen bonding linkages between the 8-OH group of the (+)-CC-1065 A-sub-unit and the 9G10C phosphate via a water molecule are present. All the phenomena observed here in the (+)-CC-1065(N3-guanine) adduct at 5'$-AATTG^*$are reminiscent of those obtained from the studies on the (+)-CC-1065(N3-adenine) adduct at $5'-AGTTA^*$, suggesting that (+)-CC-1065 takes advantage of the conformational flexibility of the 5'-TPu step to entrap the bent structure required for the covalent bonding reaction. This study reveals a common molecular basis for (+)-CC-1065 alkylation at both $5'-TTG^*$ and $5'-TTA^*$, which involves a trapping out of sequence-dependent DNA conformational flexibility as well as sequence-dependent general acid and general base catalysis by duplex DNA.

  • This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of electroacupuncture(EA) on Choksamni(ST36), a well-known acupuncture site, on nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-diaphorase(NADPH-d), neuropeptide Y(NPY) and vasoactive intestinal peptide(VIP) in the cerebral cortex of spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR). EA on Choksamni was applied using 2Hz electrical biphasic pulses of 10min, 3 times a week for a total of 10 sessions. Thereafter we evaluated changes in NADPH-d-positive neurons histochemically and changes in NPY and VIP-positive neurons immunohistochemically. The optical density of NADPH-d-positive neurons in the Choksamni group was significantly lower in all areas of the cerebral cortex than in the control group. However, the optical density of NPY-positive neurons in the Choksamni group was similar to that of the controls in most areas of the cerebral cortex, with the exception of the primary motor and visual cortices. The optical density of VIP-positive neurons in the Choksamni group was significantly decreased as compared to the control group in most areas of the cerebral cortex, with the exception of the cingulate cortex. The present results demonstrated that EA on Choksamni changes the activity of the NO system, and that stimulation at the same level, causes selective changes within the peptidergic system in the cerebral cortex of SHR.

  • 식물세포의 형질전환을 위한 새로운 표지유전자의 개발은 식물유전공학의 중요한 관건이 되고 있다. 본 실험은 독성 adenosine 유도체인 9-$\beta$-D-arabinofuranosyl adenine (Ara-A)과 cordycepin등에 저항을 나타내는 adenosine deaminase (ADA) 유전자를 새로운 식물세포의 형질전환용 표지유전자로 사용코자 수행하였다. 정상식물체에서는 치사하는 농도인 Ara-A 100 $\mu$M과 cordycepin 50 $\mu$M이 함유된 선발배지에서 ADA 유전자에 의하여 형질전환된 연초식물체는 생존이 가능하였으며 성공적으로 형질전환체를 선발할 수 있었다. 또한 형질전환된 연초식물체에서 획득한 종자도 동일한 선발배지에서 ADA 유전자가 유전된 종자와 유전되지 않은 종자를 쉽게 구별할 수 있었다. 이런 결과는 동물유전자인ADA 유전자를 연초조직의 새로운 형질전환용 표지유전자로 사용할 수 있음을 시사한다.

  • Objective: This study was performed to examine whether the porcine glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 1 (GOT1) gene has important functions in regulating adipocyte differentiation. Methods: Porcine GOT1 knockout and overexpression vectors were constructed and transfected into the mouse adipogenic 3T3-L1 cells. Lipid droplets levels were measured after 8 days of differentiation. The mechanisms through which GOT1 participated in lipid deposition were examined by measuring the expression of malate dehydrogenase 1 (MDH1) and malic enzyme (ME1) and the cellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) content. Results: GOT1 knockout significantly decreased lipid deposition in the 3T3-L1 cells (p<0.01), whereas GOT1 overexpression significantly increased lipid accumulation (p<0.01). At the same time, GOT1 knockout significantly decreased the NADPH content and the expression of MDH1 and ME1 in the 3T3-L1 cells. Overexpression of GOT1 significantly increased the NADPH content and the expression of MDH1 and ME1, suggesting that GOT1 regulated adipocyte differentiation by altering the NADPH content. Conclusion: The results preliminarily revealed the effector mechanisms of GOT1 in regulating adipose differentiation. Thus, a theoretical basis is provided for improving the quality of pork and studies on diseases associated with lipid metabolism.

  • Adenosine deaminase (ADA)의 여러 기질과 억제물질의 반응 속도론적 상수가 Aspergillusoryzae의 세포내 효소인 ADA의 활성자리에 어떻게 부착하고 어떤 요인을 필요로 하는지를 알기위해 측적되어졌다. kcat/$K_m$값에 의하면 조사된 기질로 작용하는 화합물 중에 3'-deoxyadenosine이 가장 좋은 기질로 작용하는 것으로 밝혀졌다. 몇 개의 유사체가 억제물질로 조사되었는데 purine riboside가 $3.7{\times}10^{-5}$M의 값 $K_i$값을 가지고 가장 강한 억베물질로 나타났다. Adenine은 기질로도 억제물질로도 작용을 못하므로 adenine의 N-9 위치의 ribose가 효소에 부착하는데 중요하다는 것을 시사하고 있다. 또 ADA는 6-chloropurine riboside(6-CPR)의 dechlorination을 촉매화하여 inosine과 Cl이온을 생성한다. 6-CPR의 ADA에 대한 기질 특이성은 정상 기질인 adenine의 0.86%로 측정되었다. ADA의 경쟁적 억제물질인 purine riboside는 비슷한 $K_i$값을 가지고 dechlorination도 억제하므로 deamination과 dechlorination 반응은 효소의 부착자리를 공유하고 있다고 생각되어진다. SH기에 작용하는 화합물중 수은제인 p-chloromercuribenzoate(PCMB), mersalyl acid, $HgCl_2$는 효소의 deamination 반응을 억제했다. Mersalyl acid에 의해 활성이 억제된 ADA는 thiol reagent인 dithiothreitol이나 2-mercaptoethanol에 의해 활성이 회복되지만 PCMB에 의해 억제된 효소는 회복되지 않았다. 각 수은제들이 억제물질로 작용할 때 $K_i$값과 억제양상이 측정되었는데 모두 경쟁적 방해를 보였다. $K_i$값은 10mM 인산완충용액에서 측정한 것이 100 mM 인산완충용액에서 측정한 것보다 훨씬 낮아 인산기가 기질이 아니어도 효소의 부착에 큰 영향을 미치는 것을 보여주고 있다.

  • Renal fibrosis is the final manifestation of chronic kidney disease (CKD) regardless of etiology. Hypoxia-inducible factor-2 alpha (HIF-2α) is an important regulator of chronic hypoxia, and the late-stage renal tubular HIF-2α activation exerts protective effects against renal fibrosis. However, its specific role in progressive renal fibrosis remains unclear. Here, we investigated the effects of the long-term tubular activation of HIF-2α on renal function and fibrosis, using in vivo and in vitro models of renal fibrosis. Progressive renal fibrosis was induced in renal tubular epithelial cells (TECs) of tetracycline-controlled HIF-2α transgenic (Tg) mice and wild-type (WT) controls through a 6-week adenine diet. Tg mice were maintained on doxycycline (DOX) for the diet period to induce Tg HIF-2α expression. Primary TECs isolated from Tg mice were treated with DOX (5 ㎍/ml), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) (10 ng/ml), and a combination of both for 24, 48, and 72 hr. Blood was collected to analyze creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels. Pathological changes in the kidney tissues were observed using hematoxylin and eosin, Masson's trichrome, and Sirius Red staining. Meanwhile, the expression of fibronectin, E-cadherin and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and the phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) was observed using western blotting. Our data showed that serum Cr and BUN levels were significantly lower in Tg mice than in WT mice following the adenine diet. Moreover, the protein levels of fibronectin and E-cadherin and the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK were markedly reduced in the kidneys of adenine-fed Tg mice. These results were accompanied by attenuated fibrosis in Tg mice following adenine administration. Consistent with these findings, HIF-2α overexpression significantly decreased the expression of fibronectin in TECs, whereas an increase in α-SMA protein levels was observed after TGF-β1 stimulation for 72 hr. Taken together, these results indicate that long-term HIF-2α activation in CKD may inhibit the progression of renal fibrosis and improve renal function, suggesting that long-term renal HIF-2α activation may be used as a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of CKD.
