The cold shock domain (CSD) is among the most ancient and well conserved nucleic acid binding domains from bacteria to higher animals and plants. The CSD facilitates binding to RNA, ssDNA and dsDNA and most functions attributed to cold shock domain proteins are mediated by this nucleic acid binding activity. In prokaryotes, cold shock domain proteins only contain a single CSD and are termed cold shock proteins (Csps). In animal model systems, various auxiliary domains are present in addition to the CSD and are commonly named Y-box proteins. Similar to animal CSPs, plant CSPs contain auxiliary C-terminal domains in addition to their N-terminal CSD. Cold shock domain proteins have been shown to play important roles in development and stress adaptation in wide variety of organisms. In this review, the structure, function and regulation of plant CSPs are compared and contrasted to the characteristics of bacterial and animal CSPs.

Yulmoo Kimchi becomes sour without carbonated taste when ripened at room temperature after being placed under cold temperature. The carbonated taste of Kimchi is reported to come from the hetero lactic fermentation of Leuconostoc strains. Yulmoo extract was made with methanol and added to four lactic bacteria strains originating from kimchi. The bacteria were also subjected to $1^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours as a cold shock treatment. after which Leuconostoc mesenteroide subsp. dextranicum KCCM 40708, Lactobacillus brevis KCTC 3102, Lactobacillus plantarum KCTC 3108, and Leuconostoc lactics KCTC 3528 strains showed a growth inhibition with the addition of Yulmoo extract at the concentration of 250-4,000 ppm. Leuconostoc mesenteroide subsp. dextranicum KCCM 40708, Lactobacillus brevis KCTC 3102, Lactobacillus plantarum KCTC 3108, and Leuconostoc lactics KCTC 3528, a strains appearing at the early stage of Kimchi fermentation, showed a higher growth inhibition following Yulmoo treatment in combination with the cold shock.

Mitotic gynogenesis was induced in the far eastern catfish, Silurus asotus using UV-irradiated heterospecific sperm and cold shock treatment. Eggs were activated with the sperm of mud loach, Misgurnus mizolepis which has been irradiated with UV at dose of 9,000 ergs/$mm^2$. To determine the optimum duration required to prevent the first cleavage, a cold shock at 4$^{\circ}C$ with duration of 20, 30 or 40 min was applied to the eggs 50 min after activation. To induce diploidization of mitogenesis, the most effective protocol was to apply cold shock to 50-min old (after activation) eggs at 4$^{\Circ}C$ for 30min.

저온 처리에 의한 버들치, Rhynchocypris oxycephalus에서의 척주 기형을 발견하였다. 외형적으로 기형의 기형 위치는 미병 부위이었다. 이런 기형에 대한 x-ray 사진 조사 및 조직학적 조사 결과 기형을 확인할 수 있었으며 특히, 조직학적 조사시 기형은 미네랄화된 조직의 내적작용에 기인되어 척주 관절의 광범위한 융합을 나타내었다. 본 연구 결과, 저온 처리가 버들치에서 내적으로 척주 융합을 일으킨다는 직접적인 증거를 보여주었다.

Cold shock proteins (Csps) are a subgroup of the cold-induced proteins on reduction of the growth temperature below the physiological temperature. They preferentially bind to single-stranded nucleic acids to translational regulation via RNA chaperoning. Csp plays important role in cold adaptations for the psychrophilic microorganism. Recently, Cold shock protein from psychrophilic bacteria, Colwellia psychrerythraea (CpCsp) has been identified. Three dimensional structures of a number of Csps from various microorganisms have been solved by NMR spectroscopy or X-ray crystallography, but structures of psychrophilic Csps were not studied yet. Therefore, cloning and purification protocols for further structural study of psychrophilic Csp have been optimized in this study. CpCsp was expressed in E. coli with pET-11a vector system and purified by ion exchange, size exclusion, and reverse phase chromatography. Expression and purification of CpCsp in M9 minimal media was carried out and $^{15}N$-labeled proteins with high purity over 90% was obtained. Further study will be carried out to investigate the tertiary structure and dynamics of CpCsp.

In order to investigate environmental stress inducible genes in abalone, we analyzed differentially expressed transcripts from a Pacific abalone, Haliotis discus hannai, after exposure to heat-, cold- or hyposalinity-shock by suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) method. 1,074 unique sequences from SSH libraries were composed to 115 clusters and 986 singletons, the overall redundancy of the library was 16.3%. From the BLAST search, of the 1,316 ESTs, 998 ESTs (75.8%) were identified as known genes, but 318 clones (24.2%) did not match to any previously described genes. From the comparison results of ESTs pattern of three SSH cDNA libraries, the most abundant EST was different in each SSH library: small heat shock protein p26 (sHSP26) in heat-shock, trypsinogen 2 in cold-shock, and actin in hyposalinity SSH cDNA library. Based on sequence similarities, several response-to-stress genes such as heat shock proteins (HSPs) were identified commonly from the abalone SSH libraries. HSP70 gene was induced by environmental stress regardless of temperature-shock or salinity-stress, while the increase of sHSP26 mRNA expression was not detected in cold-shock but in heat-shock condition. These results suggest that the suppression subtractive hybridization method is an efficient way to isolate differentially expressed gene from the invertebrate environmental stress-response transcriptome.

The troubles such as slipping, pinching and other behaviors in the service of cold rolling mills often induce thermal shock crack on the surface of work roll, and considerably reduce their service lives. In order to evaluate thermal shock resistibility we use thermal shock tester generating frictional heat caused by a rotating disc contacting with test specimens. Thermal shock produces two heat affected layers below the roll surface, one is rehardened layer and the other is succeeding tempered layer. The maximum depth of crack occurred in a thermal shocked area is a criterion for the thermal shock resistibility. This paper describes on the investigation to the influence of hardness and residual stress.

Bacillus subtilis에 존재하는 DEAD-box RNA helicase 유전자의 결손이 저온 충격에 민감성을 보이는지를 조사하였다. 저온 충격에 민감한지를 알아 보기 위하여 대수기에($O.D_{600}$=0.5-0.6) 있는 세포를 $15^{\circ}C$도 낮추어 저온충격을 가하여 생장하는 정도를 조사하였다. DEAD-box RNA helicase 유전자 ydbR, yfmL, yqfR, deaD의 결손 균주들이 저온충격을 가하였을 때 ydbR 결손 균주의 생장이 야생형 균주에 비해 5배 정도 현저히 감소하였으나, 다른 DEAD-box RNA helicase 유전자의 (yfmL, yqfR, deaD) 결손은 야생형 균주와 비슷한 생장을 보였다. 저온에서의 유전자 발현을 알아보기 위하여 Northern blot으로 mRNA 양을 알아본 결과 $37^{\circ}C$에 비해 $15^{\circ}C$에서 ydbR과 yqfR의 mRNA전사물 증가를 확인할 수 있었고, 반면에 yfmL과 deaD의 전사 증가는 관찰되지 않았다. $37^{\circ}C$에서 $15^{\circ}C$로 저온 충격을 가하면 ydbR mRNA 양의 뚜렷한 증가를 확인하였고, 전사 억제제인 rifampicin를 처리하여 ydbR mRNA의 양을 조사하였을 때 $15^{\circ}C$ 조건에서는 mRNA 양이 거의 유지하는 반면에 $37^{\circ}C$ 조건에서는 급격한 mRNA의 감소가 일어나 전사과정에서 유도되기 보다는 전사 후 전사물의 안정에 기인하는 것으로 보인다. 이와 관련하여 ydbR 유전자의 5' UTR (untranaslated region) 부근에서 csp (cold shock protein) 유전자에서 관찰되는 cold box element를 확인하였고, ydbR이 저온 충격 조건에서 발현되는 과정이 csp와 유사하게 전사물의 안정성에 기인함을 알 수 있었다.

The hydrophobic spores of Streptomyces sp. AA8321 isolated from the Antarctic coast displayed demulsification ability. The aerial spores demulsified an emulsion of kerosene/$0.2\%$ Triton X-100 (2:1, v/v) to $50\%$ and $95\%$ within 1 min contact at the concentrations of $5.0{\times}10^7$ and $1.0{\times}10^8$ spores/ml, respectively. A cold shock protein (csp) gene was cloned from the hydrophobic spore- producing Streptomyces sp. AA8321 using PCR. It encoded a low molecular protein with 68 amino acids showing very low homology with previously reported csp genes. Only the sequence of the first six amino acids was just the same and yet others were different. RNA blot analysis indicated that the csp gene was induced by cold shock, i.e., transferring from $30^{\circ}C$ to $10^{\circ}C$, and this cold shock response proposed that the isolated gene be a new type of csp gene.

유채(B. napus)와 산동채(B. campestris)를 공시하여 발아초기단계에서의 저온처리가 분자산소의 생물학적 환원과 관련이 있는 여러가지 생화학적 인자에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 작물 내한성 기작을 생화학적으로 구명하고자 한 바, 저온장해는 산동채에 비해 유채가 더욱 심하였고 저온처리후 24시간 회복시 유채와 산동채의 peroxidase 활성도는 뿌리부위에서 각각 33%와 87% 배축부위에서 84%와 206% 정도 크게 증가하였으며 특히 내한성이 강한 산동채가 유채보다, 배축부위가 뿌리보다 약 2.5배 이상 더 높은 효소활성 증가율을 보였다. 또한 superoxide($O_2^-$)는 회복직후 부터 급격히 축적되기 시작하여 회복 8시간째에 최고치에 도달하였으며 그 축적정도는 산동채에 비해 내한성이 약한 유채에서 더욱 심하였고, 24시간 회복시에도 산동채는 거의 무처리 수준까지 회복되었으나 유채는 약 38%의 $O_2^-$가 여전히 축적되어 있었다. 저온처리 직후 $H_2O_2$의 감소 정도 역시 산동채가 15% 정도인데 반해 유채는 2%에 불과하였고, 회복시간이 경과함에 따라 산동채는 거의 정상수준까지 회복되었으나 저온장해가 심하였던 유채는 불안정한 회복양상을 보였다. 아울러 유채의 배축 및 뿌리부위에서의 peroxidase 활성증가에는 Uniconazole 처리후 저온 병행처리가 단독처리보다 훨씬 펴 효과적이었으나 새로운 동위효소의 출현은 볼 수 없었다.
