  • Syndesmos, which is co-localized with syndecan-4 cytoplasmic domain ($Syn4^{cyto}$) in focal contacts, interacts with various cell adhesion adaptor proteins including $Syn4^{cyto}$ to control cell signaling. Syndesmos consists of 211 amino acids and it exists as a dimer (44kDa) in solution. Recently, we have determined the structure of syndesmos by x-ray crystallography, however, dynamics related to syndecan binding still remain elusive. In this report, we performed NMR experiments to acquire biochemical and structural information of syndesmos. Based on a series of three-dimensional triple resonance experiments on a $^{13}C/^{15}N/^2H$ labeled protein, NMR spectra were obtained with well dispersed and homogeneous NMR data. We present the sequence specific backbone assignment of syndesmos and assigned NMR data with combination structural information can be directly used for the studies on interaction with $Syn4^{cyto}$ and other binding molecules.

  • Because of high growth rate and large deposition of fat in the abdomen, the chicken has been used as a model organism for understanding lipid metabolism, fattening and growing. In this study, differentially expression of proteins in chicken liver, one of the important organs for lipid metabolism, has been investigated at four different growing stages. After separation of proteins using two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE), more than 700 protein spots were detected. Among them, 13 growing stage specific proteins in chicken liver were selected and further investigated by matrix-assisted laser adsorptions ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Of these, 12 proteins were matched to existing proteins based on a database search. The identified fat-related proteins in this study were fatty acid synthase (FASN) and malic enzyme (ME1). These proteins were more highly expressed at week 32 than at other weeks. In order to confirm the differential expression, one of the proteins, FASN, was confirmed by western blotting. The identified proteins will give valuable information on biochemical roles in chicken liver, especially for lipid metabolism.

  • A microtiter well plate DNA hybridization method using Mycobacterium kansasii-specific rpoB DNA probe (kanp) were evaluated for the detection of M. kansasii from culture isolates. Among the 201 isolates tested by this method, 27 strains show positive results for M. kansasii, but the other 174 isolates were negative results for M. kansasii. This result was consistent with partial rpoB sequence analysis of M. kansasii and the result of biochemical tests. The negative strains by this DNA-DNA hybridization method were identified as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (159 strains), Mycobacterium avim (5 strains), Mycobacterium intracellulare (8 strains), and Mycobacterium flavescens (2 strain) by rpoB DNA sequence analysis. Due to high sensitivity and specificity of this test result, we suggest that DNA-DNA hybridization method using rpoB DNA probes of M. kansasii could be used for the rapid and convenient detection of M. kansasii.

  • DNA-DNA hybridization method with four oligonucleotide-specific probes was used simultaneously for differentiation and identification of four Mycobacterium species (Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. avium, M. intracellulare, and M. kansasii). This DNA-DNA hybridization method with 4 oligonucleotide-specific probes, which targets in the rpoB region of 4 Mycobacteria species, respectively, was tested on 322 clinical isolates. Using DNA-DNA hybridization method, we detected M. tuberculosis (282 strains), M. avim (7 strains), M. intracellulare (9 strains), and M. kansasii (3 strain) from 322 clinical isolates. This result was compared with conventional biochemical test and rpoB DNA sequence analysis of this clinical isolates. We confirmed identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. avium, M. intracellulare, and M. kansasii with high sensitivity (100 %) and specificity (100 %). This DNA-DNA hybridization method could be performed within 4 hours at least. Therefore, we suggest that DNA- DNA hybridization method using 4 rpoB DNA probes of Mycobacteria could be used for accurate, rapid, convenient detection and identification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. avium, M. intracellulare, and M. kansasii in clinical samples.

  • Completion of the human genome project has allowed a deeper understanding of molecular pathophysiology and has provided invaluable genomic information for the diagnosis of genetic disorders. Advent of new technologies has lead to an explosion in genetic testing. However, this overwhelming stream of genetic information often misleads physicians and patients into a misguided faith in the power of genetic testing. Moreover, genetic testing raises a number of ethical, legal, and social issues. Diagnostic genetic tests can be divided into three primary but overlapping categories: cytogenetic studies (including routine karyotyping, high-resolution karyotyping, and fluorescent in situ hybridization studies), biochemical tests, and DNA-based diagnostic tests. DNA-based testing has grown rapidly over the past decade and includes preandpostnatal testing for the diagnosis of genetic diseases, testing for carriers of genetic diseases, genetic testing for susceptibility to common non-genetic diseases, and screening for common genetic diseases in a particular population. Theoretically, once a gene's structure, function, and association with a disease are well established, the clinical application of genetic testing should be feasible. However, for routine applications in a clinical setting, such tests must satisfy a number of criteria. These criteria include an acceptable degree of clinical and analytical validity, support of a quality assurance program, possibility of modifying the course of the diagnosed disease with treatment, inclusion of pre-and postnatal genetic counseling, and determination of whether the proposed test satisfies cost-benefit criteria and should replace or complement traditional tests. In the near future, the application of genetic testing to common diseases is expected to expand and will likely be extended to include individual pharmacogenetic assessments.

  • Cellulases are a group of biocatalyst enzymes that are capable of degrading cellulosic biomass present in the natural environment and produced by a large number of microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi, etc. In the current study, we isolated, screened and characterized cellulase-producing bacteria from soil. Three cellulose-degrading species were isolated based on clear zone using Congo red stain on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) agar plates. These bacterial isolates, named as HB2, HS5 and HS9, were subsequently characterized by morphological and biochemical tests as well as 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Based on 16S rRNA analysis, the bacterial isolates were identified as Bacillus cerus, Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus stratosphericus. Moreover, for maximum cellulase production, different growth parameters were optimized. Maximum optical density for growth was also noted at pH 7.0 for 48 h for all three isolates. Optical density was high for all three isolates using meat extract as a nitrogen source for 48 h. The pH profile of all three strains was quite similar but the maximum enzyme activity was observed at pH 7.0. Maximum cellulase production by all three bacterial isolates was noted when using lactose as a carbon rather than nitrogen and peptone. Further studies are needed for identification of new isolates in this region having maximum cellulolytic activity. Our findings indicate that this enzyme has various potential industrial applications.

  • 생물학적 조직(Biological Tissue)에서 얻어내는 형광(Fluorescence)은 산란(Scattrering), 흡수(Absorption), 그리고 형광체(Fluorophores)가 원인이 되는, 인트린식 형광(Intrinsic Fluorescence)들에 관한 정보를 갖고 있다. 생물학적 조직의 형광스펙트럼은 조직 내에 존재하는 흡수체(Absorber)와 산란물질(Scatters)들의 영향을 받기 때문에 다른 조직의 생화학적인 인트린식 형광을 선형적인 조합으로 해석할 수 없었다. 생물학적 조직 같은 터비드 매질(Turbid Media)로부터 실험적으로 형광을 얻어서 산란과 흡수의 영향을 조사하기 위하여 본 연구소에서 제작한 장치를 소개하고, 넓은 범위의 흡수체와 산란물질의 농도를 갖고 제작한 조직 팬텀(Tissue Phantom)에 대한 형광과 반사(Reflectance) 스펙트럼을 측정하였다. 형광스펙트럼에 존재하는 산란과 흡수의 왜곡(Distortion)을 제거하기 위하여, 반사스펙트럼에 포함된 산란과 흡수 정보를 이용하는 ‘광자 이동 모델(Photon Migration Model)’을 적용하였고, 이러한 조직모델에 대한 인트린식 형광을 얻었다 연구 결과, 모델 값과 실제 인트린식 형광 스펙트럼이 훌륭하게 일치함을 확인하였다. 이런 연구를 하게된 동기는, 인간의 조직이 병들어서 진화하면 조직의 생화학적 구성의 변화가 발생하고 이때 인트린식 형광의 변화가 생기기 때문이다 결론적으로, 조직에 대한 실시간 광학적 생검에서 병든 조직과 정상조직을 단지 형광스펙트럼만으로 구분하는 것은 어렵지만, 인트린식 형광을 이용하면 가능하다.

  • 도시와 자연에 부정적인 영향을 끼치는 미세먼지에 대한 저감 연구가 점점 심화되고 있다. 이에따른 미세먼지 저감 대책 중 하나로써 도시 수목의 미세먼지 저감 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 이와 관련하여 미세먼지에 의한 도시 수목의 피해 반응 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구는 도시 수목 중 전나무(Abies holophylla), 중국단풍(Acer buergerianum), 소나무(Pinus densiflora), 굴참나무(Quercus variabilis)에 대하여 고농도 미세먼지 처리로 나타나는 피해반응을 조사하기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 위 네 수종을 대상으로 식물생장조절챔버(phytotron)에서 시간 당 300 ㎍ m-3 농도의 미세먼지를 처리하여 각 수종의 생리적, 생화학적 변화 반응과 잎의 흡착면적을 측정하였다. 그리고 순광합성량, 기공전도도, 증산률, 엽록소 함량, ROS, MDA, 잎의 흡착면적에 대해서 상관 분석을 진행하여 상호 간의 관계를 살펴보았다. 연구 결과, 수종마다 생리·생화학적 반응과 흡착면적이 종 특이적으로 나타났다. 순광합성량의 경우 전나무에서 가장 큰 감소세를 보였으며 소나무와 굴참나무는 큰 변화를 나타내지 않았다. 굴참나무는 ROS의 변화 또한 미미하였다. 모든 수종에서 MDA 함량이 공통적으로 증가하였다. 4주 처리 이후 흡착면적에서 전나무는 잎의 앞면, 소나무는 잎의 뒷면에 높은 면적량을 나타냈다. 상관성 분석 결과 생리적 반응 요인들 간에 양의 상관관계가 있음을 확인하였고, 잎의 앞면에 높은 흡착면적을 보일수록 생리적 반응에 부정적인 영향이 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 미세먼지 저감과 지속 가능한 도시 숲을 효율적으로 조성하기 위한 수종 선택의 기초 데이터를 제공한다.
