A cDNA clone coding for ribosomal protein 46 (rp46) which is a component of 60S ribosomal large subunit has been identified from Drosophila melanogaster. A cDNA clone encoding S. cerevisiae rp46 was used as a probe to screen a Drosophila larvae cDNA library. The DNA sequence analysis revealed that the cDNA coding for Drosophils rp46 contains a complete reading frame of 153 nucleotides coding for 51 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence showed 71-75% homology with those of other eukaryotic organisms. Northern blot analysis showed that about 1-kb rp46 transcripts are abundant throughout fly development. Whole mount embryonic mRNA in situ hybridization also showed no preferential distribution of the transcripts to any specific region. The chromosomal in situ hybridization revealed that the identified gene is localized at position 60C on the right arm of the second polytene chromosome with a possibility of single copy.

The birth of the clone animals is influencing the frontier of research of animal biotechnology. It has effects on research of animal biotechnology itself by necessitating setting of new research subjects, modifications of the strategy of ongoing research projects, and challenges to schemes formerly considered impossible. In my talk, such topics including mass production of fertile ova and oocyte maturation will be discussed. (1) Oocytes are needed for the production of a clone by nuclear transplantation. Mitochondrial DNA inherited via the oocyte are involved also in the morphogenesis. Therefore, oocytes from the same animal must be used as recipients to produce genuine clones by nuclear transplantation. Experimenting on the assumption that selective oogenesis can be avoided, and apoptosis of oocytes can be prevented, by using ovarian angiogenic factos will be introduced. (2) It is important to clarify the factors of oocytes involving in reprogramming of somatic cells. Such factors are thought to be expressed in oocytes during oogenesis and oocyte maturation. Therefore, molecular mechanisms of oogenesis and oocyte maturation must be clarified extensively. Topics in this field including our recent advances will be discussed. (중략)

We eliminated introns from replication independent chicken H3.3 histone gene using a H3.3 cDNA clone and a genomic H3.3 clone. After introduction into Rat 3 cells, we observed its pattern of expression by analyzing mRNA from different phases of the cell cycle. Even without introns, the H3.3 gene was expressed constitutively at a low level throughout the cell cycle. This indicates that the introns in the H3.3 gene are not responsible for the cell cycle-independent expression of the gene. This result contradicts previous reports that suggested their importance in cell cycle regulated expression. We believe that other regions of the gene, promoter, coding region, and/or 3'-end of the gene, are involved in its expression pattern.

Somatic cell nuclear transfer is an efficient technique for the multiplication of elite livestock, engineering of transgenic animals, cell therapy and xenotransplantation, and analyzing the interactions between nucleus and cytoplasm, for various agricultural, biomedical and research purposes. Since the first somatic cell clone lamb was born, tremendous progress has been made toward developing technology for animal cloning. Viable farm animals and mice have now been produced by nuclear transfer using various fetal and adult somatic cells as nuclei donors. Transgenic clones were also produced from nuclear transfer of transfected somatic cells. In the future, somatic cell nuclear transfer will provide more numerous opportunities, both in basic and appled research as well as immediate uses in the generations of superior clone and transgenic animals. However, further technology refinement and improved understanding of the process are essential for commercial and basic research applications.

China first started its mobile phone services in 1987, and the number of users has exponentially increased so that it reached 700 millions in January 2009. Currently China's 2G(GSM) users is 650 millions. These 2G (GSM) services have an advantage of the capability to use the mobile phone with a SIM (Subscriber Identity Modul) card, one kind of smart cards, inserted into it. However, due to the security vulnerability of SIM cards being used within China's 2G (GSM) services, SIM cards cloning. Problems concerning mobile phone surveillance towards a designated person by illegal cloning ESN and IMSI have recently risen to be a massive social issue within Korea as well. These studies have experimented the possibility of SIM cards clone in various mobile communication corporations using 2G (GSM) in China, and hence discovered the security vulnerability such as the incoming outgoing, SMS service and additional services on mobile phones using clone SIM cards.

cDNA fragments of ovine liver pyridoxal kinase were amplified by PCR using degenerate oligonucleotide primers derived from partial amino acids sequences of the enzyme. Using PCR products as probes, several overlapping cDNA clones were isolated independently from an ovine liver and a human brain cDNA library. The largest cDNA clone for each was selected for sequence analysis. The ovine liver cDNA encodes a polypeptide of 297 amino acid residues with Mr of 32,925, whereas the human clone is comprised of an open reading frame encoding 312 amino acid residues with Mr of 35,102. The deduced sequence of the human brain enzyme is completely identical to that of human testes cDNA recently reported (Hanna et al., 1997). The ovine enzymes have approximately 77% sequence identity with the human enzyme although the two sequences are completely different in the N-terminus comprising 32 residues. This result suggests that pyridoxal kinase is highly homologous in mammalian species.

The purpose of the study was to prepare the pegylated liposome carrying plasmid DNA with optimal encapsulation efficiency. Plasmid DNA (pCEP4 clone 790, 10.6 kb) was entrapped in the pegylated liposome composed of neutral lipid, POPC (l-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine), cationic lipid, DDAB (dimethyl dioctadecyl ammonium bromide) and anionic lipids, DSPE-PEG 2000 (distearoyl phosphatidyl ethanolamine polyethylene glycol 2000) and DSPE-PEG 2000-maleimide by freezing/thawing method. Free plasmid DNA was separated from the encapsulated one by Sepharose CL-4B column chromatography. The DNA amount encapsulated into the pegylated liposome was increased as cationic lipid concentration, initial amount of plasmid DNA and total lipid amount were increased.

The robustness of communication service should be guaranteed to validate its security of the whole service not just high performance. One kind of practical test-beds is the chinese communication service based on SIM Card and GSM. In paper, we try to experiment the possibility of SIM cards clone in various mobile communications using 2G in china, and hence discovered the security vulnerabilities such as the incoming outgoing, SMS service and additional services on the mobile phones using clone SIM cards. The experiments show that chinese communication service should be prepared the Fraud Management System against the cloning SIM card. and furthermore, regulations related to the communication service should be tuned the realistic security environments.

콩 불마름병균 Xanthomonas campestris pv. glycines 8ra는 X. c. pv. vesicatoria에 길항력이 있는 bacteriocin인 glycinecin을 생성 분비한다. Bacteriocin 생성 분비 능력이 있는 콩 불마름병균을 효과적인 생물학적 방제원으로 활용하기 위해서는 좀더 체계적인 연구가 필요하여, bacteriocin 생성에 관계되는 유전자의 분리를 시도하였다. 약 2,000개의 Xanthomonas campestris pv. glycines 8ra cosmid library에서 bacteriocin의 생성 분비 능력을 조사하여 다섯 개의 clone을, pG011, pG0113, pG33과 pG35, 선발하였다. 그중 한 clone pG08을 임의로 선택하여 plasmid DNA를 분리하였다. Plasmid pG08에서 약 6.0 kb의 DNA를 떼어내어 다른 plasmid vector에 넣은 subclone pBL5는 bacteriocin의 생성 분비 능력이 있었다. Plasmid pG08을 제한효소 처리후 다시 접함시켜 만든 몇 개의 subclone과 pBL5의 제한효소 지도를 비교 분석한 결과 약 3.0 kb의 BamHI-HindIII 부분의 DNA가 bacteriocin의 생성에 관계함을 알았다.
