Cycloheximide와 nalidixic acid를 각각 처리한 배지에 Aspergillus phoenicis, Rhizopus acidus, Candida albicans를 배양하는 동안에 이들 세포에서 항생물질이 DNA 합성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는 가를 대조구와 비교 분석하였다. Cycloheximide 처리구에서의 DNA 염기 함량은 A. phoenicis에서 대조구에 비해 adenine 20.4%, thymine 43.1%, cytosine 40.9%, guanine 35.3%가 감소되어 purine기, pyrimidine기가 각각 32.2%, 42.7% 억제 현상을 나타내었다. R. acidus에서는 adenine이 34.2%, thymine이 42.1%, cytosine은 38.0%, guanine은 18.1%가 감소됨으로 purine기와 pyrimidine기가 24.1%와 40.0%로 저해되었다. 그리고 C. albicans의 염기 조성은 adenine이 58.3%, thymine이 58.5%로 대조구에 비해 억제되었고 cytosine은 58.1%, guanine은 42.4%가 감소되어 purine기 46.8%, pyrimidine기 58.8%의 억제를 보여주었다. Nalidixic acid 처리구에서는 A. phoenicis에서 adenine 41.6%, thymine 47.1%, cytosine 59.3%, guanine 46.3%가 저해되어 purine기 45.6%, pyrimidine기 57.2%가 감소되었다. R. acidus에서의 염기함량은 adenine 59.1%, thymine 54.7%, cytosine 35.3%, guanine 37.4% 감소로 purine기 45.9%, pyrimidine기 44.9%가 대조구에 비해 억제 효과를 보여주었다. C. albicans에서는 adenine이 60.1%, thymine이 68.6%, cytosine이 60.7%, guanine이 40.0% 저해되어 purine기는 45.8%, pyrimidine기는 63.5% 감소현상을 보였다. 이들 3 균주의 DNA 생합성에서 purine기 보다는 pyrimidine기가 cycloheximide와 nalidixic acid에 의해 뚜렷한 저해 효과를 나타내는 것으로 조사되었다. 본 실험에서 cycloheximide보다는 nalidixic acid가 DNA 생합성에 현저한 억제작용을 하는 것으로 분석되었다.

The molecular interactions between the nucleic acid bases and water molecules are important in organism. Despite Adenine-Thymine Hoogsteen base pair and Guanine-Cytosine Watson-Crick base pair have been demonstrated to be most stable in a gas phase, the effect of water on the stability of these base pairs remains elusive. Here we report the structural and thermodynamic characteristics on possible Adenine-Thymine and Guanine-Cytosine base pairs in a gas phase as well as in an aqueous phase by using quantum mechanical method and statistical mechanical calculations. First, we optimized the direct base-pair interaction energies of four Adenine-Thymine base pairs (Hoogsteen base pair, reverse Hoogsteen base pair, Watson-Crick base pair, and reverse Watson-Crick base pair) and three Guanine-Cytosine base pairs (GC1 base pair, GC2 base pair, and Watson Crick base pair) in a gas phase at the $B3LYP/6-31+G^{**}$ level. Then, the effect of solvent was quantified by the electronic reorganization energy and the solvation free energy by statistical mechanical calculations. Thereby, we discuss the effect of water on the stability of Adenine-Thymine and Guanine-Cytosine base pairs, and argue why Adenine-Thymine Watson-Crick base pair and Guanine-Cytosine Watson-Crick base pair are most stable in an aqueous environment.

In theoretical simulations of proton transfer in DNA, environmental factors nearly have not been considered. In our calculations, using QM/MM method on the basis of CP2K, proton transfer on adenine-thymine base pair is studied in water, at wide scope temperature, and under the external electric field. Our results indicate that the external electric field induces the proton transfer at room temperature, and its intensity and temperature have some effect on hole localization and proton transfer.

본 논문은 DNA coding 방법과 Genetic Algorithm(GA)을 사용하여 numeric(0~9) 패턴인식 성능을 비교 평가하였다. 이진스트링의 개체 집단 위에서 모의진화를 일으켜 효율적으로 최적 해를 탐색하는 GA와, 생체 분자인 DNA를 계산의 도구 및 정보 저장도구로 사용하며, Adenine(A), Cytosine(C), Guanine(G), Thymine(T)등의 4가지 염기를 사용하는 DNA coding 방법을 이용하여 numeric 패턴인식을 수행하였다. DNA coding 방법과 GA의 성능을 비교 평가하기 위해서 selection, crossover, mutation 등의 GA연산자를 DNA coding에 동일하게 적용하였다. 실험결과, DNA coding 방법은 GA보다 효과적으로 패턴인식을 수행하였다. GA에 비해 DNA coding 방법의 장점은 스트링의 길이가 가변적이고 해의 중복성을 가지며, 4가지 염기를 이용하기 때문에 해 표현이 다양함을 가지고 있다.

Plant biotechnologists have long dreamed of technologies to manipulate genes in plants at will. This dream has come true partly through the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 technology, which now has been used to edit genes in several important crops. However, there are many restrictions in editing a gene precisely using the CRISPR/Cas9 technology because CRISPR/Cas9 may cause deletions or additions in some regions of the target gene. Several other technologies have been developed for gene targeting and precision editing. Among these, base editors might be the most practically and efficiently used compared to others. Base editors are tools which are able to cause a transition from cytosine into thymine, or from adenine into guanine very precisely on specific sequences. Cytosine base editors basically consist of nCas9, cytosine deaminase, and uracil DNA glycosylase inhibitor (UGI). Adenine base editors consist of nCas9 and adenine deaminase. These were first developed for human cells and have since also been applied successfully to crops. Base editors have been successfully applied for productivity improvement, fortification and herbicide resistance of crops. Thus, base editor technologies start to open a new era for precision gene editing or breeding in crops and might result in revolutionary changes in crop breeding and biotechnology.

A significant portion (about 8% in human genome) of mammalian mRNA sequences contains AU(Adenine and Uracil) rich elements or AREs at their 3' untranslated regions (UTR). These mRNA sequences are usually stable. ARE motifs are assorted into three classes. The importance of AREs in biology is that they make certain mRNA unstable. We analyzed the occurrences of AREs and Alu, and propose a possible mechanism on how human mRNA could acquire and keep A REs at its 3' UTR originated from Alu repeats. Interspersed in the human genome, Alu repeats occupy 5% of the 3' UTR of mRNA sequences. Alu has poly-adenine (poly-A) regions at the end that lead to poly -thymine (poly-T) regions at the end of its complementary Alu. It has been discovered that AREs are present at the poly -T regions. In the all ARE's classes, 27-40% of ARE repeats were found in the poly -T region of Alu with mismatch allowed within 10% of ARE's length from the 3' UTRs of the NCBI's reference m RNA sequence database. We report that Alu, which has been reported as a junk DNA element, is a source of AREs. We found that one third of AREs were derived from the poly -T regions of the complementary Alu.

A genomic DNA of alkaliphilic bacterium, Micrococcus sp. Y-l, was analysed using the physical mapping method of pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Five restriction enzymes of Sspl, Hpal, Xbal, Ndel or EcoRI, which recognize the Adenine-Thymine-rich sequences of genomic DNA, were used for the generation of few (7 to 20) distinctly separate fragments, with average sizes in the range of 200～500 kb. However, the sites for Notl and SfiI, 8 base-recognizing enzymes, were highly frequent. The genome size of this strain was determined to be 4 mega base pairs (Mb) from restriction fragments separated by PFGE. This is the first case of restriction mapping in alkaliphilic bacterium.
