The karyotype of Lilium cernum has been analysed by means of C-banding technique. Most of clones observed were 2n=24 chromosomes which consist of two pairs of submetacentric and ten pairs of subtelocentric chromosomes, among which two pairs of chromosomes(B and E) showed secondary constriction in the short arm. In addition to these chromosomes a small supernumerary telocentric chromosome was seen in the eight clones. Sixtyeight bands were observed in the twentytwo chromosomes of complement and one band in the supernumerary chromosome. A pair of chromosome (L) did not show any band. The bnads on the chromosome. A pair of chromosome (L) did not show any band. The bands on the chromosomes were distributed in the centromere, secondary constriction and intercalary regions of arms. Of the twelve pairs of chromosomes ten pairs showed symmetric banding patterns in each, but two pairs (I and K) showed asymmetric banding patterns.

Calli obtained from basal disc explants of Allium victorialis var.platyphyllum wre grown in three kinds of nutrient media (MS, BDS, and B5), and the frequencies of mitotic index and the chromosomal aberrations were analysed. The mitotic index varied from 0.55% to 1.01% with respect to culture media and ages. The mitotic irregularities like micro-, bi- and multi-nuclei, chromosome bridge and laggards were noted in each types of calli. The chromosome number variations observed in metaphase stage were identified aneuploid and tetraploid. Structural variations such as dicentric chromosomes, centromere breakage and small chromosomes were observed. Relationship between basal medium and chromosomal variability was not observed in this study. But, in BDS medium, NAA and BA had a more effect on number variation than kinetin.

한국산 생쥐를 재료로 하여 그 골수세포를 추출하고 공기건조법에 의해서 염색체수와 핵형을 분석하고 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 염색체의 형태는 centromere의 위치를 기준으로 하여 형태와 크기를 분류하였으며 한국산 생쥐는 암수 모두 염색체수가 2n=40이었고, 상염색체 및 성염색체 전부가 acrocentrices(telocentrices) 이고 Y염색체는 그중 가장 작은 acrocentrices 이었다.

Escherichia coli F plasmid partition apparatus is composed of two trans-acting proteins (SopA and SopB) and one cis-acting DNA sequence (sopC). The SopB-sopC complex has been suggested to serve a centromere-like function through its interaction with chromosomally encoded proteins which remain to be identified. In this paper, we are introducing a new yeast 1.5-hybrid system which assembles the two-hybrid and one-hybrid system as a mean to find and additional component of the F plasmid partition system, interacting with DNA (sopC)-bound SopB protein. The results indicates that this system is a promising one, capable of selecting an interacting component.

극저주파 전자기장의 노출과 여러 암 발생과의 연관성을 구명하기 위해 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있으나 아직도 결론을 내리기에는 논란이 있다. 본 연구에서는 극저주파 전자가장이 소핵, 이수성 및 염색제 재배열과 같은 염색체 손상을 유도하는지 여부와 bleomycin (BLM) 에 악해 유발된 염색체 손상 빈도를 증진시키는지 확인하기 위해 사람 섬유아세포에 BLM과 0.8mT 세기의 극저주파 전자가장을 노출시킨 후 micronucleus - centromere 분석을 수행하였다. BLM의 농도에 따라 소핵, 이수성 및 염색체 재배열의 빈도가 유의하게 증가하 였으며(p<0.05), 0.8 mT 세기의 극저주파 전자기장은 단독으로 사람 섬유아세포에 염색체 손상을 유도하지 않았으나, BLM에 의해 유발된 소핵과 이수성의 빈도를 유의하게 증가시켰다(p<0.05). 따라서 극저주파 전자기장은 단독으로 사람 섬유아세포에 유전독성을 일으키지 않으나 BLM에 의한 소핵과 이수성 빈도를 증폭하는 효과를 나타낸다.

이 연구는 보리의 뿌리와 엽의 출현과 신장 및 체세포 분열에서 중기 염색체를 관찰함으로써 시티딘 유사체인 제부라린이 보리의 초기 생장에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 제부라린은 염색체 절단을 유발하기 때문에 식물의 뿌리 신장을 억제하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이 연구에서는 이러한 식물체에 미치는 손상을 줄이기 위하여 기존의 뿌리 흡수 처리 방식이 아닌 침종 처리 방식을 수행한 결과, 제부라린 농도 2.5 μM에서 대조구와 뿌리의 신장에 차이가 없었으며, 동일 농도에서 엽의 신장력은 대조구보다 높았다. 체세포 분열에서 중기 염색체를 관찰한 결과, 대부분의 세포는 정상 형태의 염색체를 가지고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 특이한 점은 약 2.0%에 상응하는 세포에서 정상형태의 염색체보다 크기가 매우 작은 비정상 염색체가 확인되었으며, 이 비정상 염색체의 형태는 동원체를 가지고 있으나 불규칙한 형태를 가지고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 이 비정상 염색체의 염색체 능력과 유전력에 대해서는 좀 더 심도 있는 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각한다.

This paper reports 3 cases with 46,XX sex reversed male. Three 46,XX hypogonadal subjects showed complete sex reversal and had normal phallus and azoospermia. We studied them under clinical, cytogenetic and molecular aspects to find out the origin of the sex reversal. Patients had markedly elevated serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and lutenizing hormone (LH) and decreased or normal range of serum testosterone. The testicular volumes were small (3-8ml). Testicular biopsy showed Leydig cell hyperplasia and atrophy of seminiferous tubules. We obtained the results of normal 46,XX, and the presence of Y chromosome mosaicism was ruled out through XY dual fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). By using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), we amplified short arm (SRY, PABY, ZFY and DYS14), centromere (DYZ3), and heterochromatin (DYZ1) region of the Y chromosome. PCR amplification of DNA from these patients showed the presence of the sex-determining region of the Y chromosome (SRY) but didn't show the centromere and heterochromatin region sequence. The SRY gene was detected in all the three patients. Amplification patterns of the other regions were different in these patients; one had four amplified loci (PABY+, SRY+, ZFY+, DYS14+), another had two loci (SRY+, ZFY+) and the other had two loci (PABY+, SRY+). We have found that each patient's translocation elements had different breakpoints at upstream and downstream of the SRY gene region. We conclude that the testicular development in 46,XX male patients were due to insertion or translocation of SRY gene into X chromosome or autosomes.

한국산 쌍구흡충의 계통분류를 하기 위한 연구치 일환으로 한우로부터 코볼드쌍구흡충(Fisthoederius robbozdi)을 채집한 다음 정소부위를 colchicine으로 단시간 처리하는 자연건조법을 응용하여 핵형을 분석하였다. 코볼드쌍구흡충 총 315개체의 생식세포에 대하여 염색체수를 조사한 바 n=9, 2n=18이었으며, 1,904개의 반수체성 중기염색체와 49개의 이배체성 중기염색체를 확인하였다. 이배체성 중기염색체는 7쌍의 중형염색체와 2쌍의 소형염색체로 구성되어 있었고, 반수체성 염색체는 중형 7개와 소형 2개로 구성되어 있었다. 동원체지수는 3번 염색체가 40.4%로서 9쌍중에서 동원체가 염색체의 가장 중앙부위에 위치하는 중부착사 염색체이었으며, 그 나머지의 것들은 32.4∼40.0%이었다. 분염법(C-banding)에 의한 생식세포의 반수체성 염색체는 핵형을 구성하는 이염색질이 거의 모든 염색체의 동원체 부위에 존재하였지만, 1번 염색체는 염색체 첨단에 이염색질이 농염되어 있었으며 .4, 6, 8번 염색체의 이염색질은 크고 진하게 관찰되었다.

Mitotic centromere-associated kinesin (MCAK), which is a novel kinesin with a central motor domain, is believed to playa role in mitotic segregation of chromosome during the M phase of the cell cycle. In the present study, it is shown that a rabbit polyclonal antibody has been produced using the N-terminal region (187 aa) of human MCAK expressed in E. coli as the antigen. To express the N-terminal region in E. coli, the MCAK cDNA fragment encoding N-terminal 187 aa was obtained by PCR and was then inserted into the pET 3d expression vector. Molecular mass of the N-terminal region overexpressed in the presence of IPTG was 23.2 kDa on SDS-PAGE, and the protein was insoluble and mainly localized in the inclusion body that could be easily purified from the other cellular proteins. The N-terminal region was purified by electro-elution from the gel after the inclusion body was resolved on the SDS-PAGE. The antiserum obtained after tertiary immunization with the purified protein specifically recognized HsMCAK when subjected to Western blot analysis, and showed a fluctuation of the protein level during the cell cycle of human Jurkat T cells. Synchronization of the cell-cycle progression required for recovery of cells at a specific stage of the cell cycle was performed by either hydroxyurea or nocadazole, and subsequent release from each blocking at 2, 4, and 7 h. Northern and Western analyses revealed that both mRNA and protein of HsMCAK reached a maximum level in the S phase and declined to a basal level in the G1 phase. These results indicate that a polyclonal antibody raised against the N-terminal region (187 aa) of HsMCAK, overexpressed in E. coli, specifically detects HsMCAK (81 kDa), and it can analyze the differential expression of HsMCAK protein during the cell cycle.

CREST syndrome is a form of limited cutaneous scleroderma that occurs only in certain parts of the body, such as the skin of the hands and face. CREST refers to the five main features of the syndrome: calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, esophageal dysmotility, sclerodactyly, and telangiectasia. Currently, there is no standard treatment for CREST syndrome, and there have been no studies of the use of traditional Korean medicine (TKM) for this disease. This study describes the effects of Keumsuyukun-jeon on CREST syndrome. The patient in this case had typical clinical symptoms of CREST syndrome. These symptoms improved within a relatively short period of receiving the TKM treatment. The results of Anti-centromere antibody (AI) and high sensitivity C-reactive protein (mg/L) also improved.
