To examine genetic divergences of two endemic Sorex caecutiens subspecies from Korea (S. c. hallamontanus in Korean Jeju Island and S. c. annexus in the mainland Korean Peninsula), we obtained partial cytochrome oxidase I (COI) sequences (429 bp) and complete cytochrome b sequences (1,140 bp) from the two Korean subspecies, and we compared these sequences to the corresponding sequences of S. caecutiens, obtained from GenBank. We found that Jeju S. c. hallamontanus is one of three clades within S. caecutiens, with an average Jukes-Cantor distance of 1.57% in the COI sequences and the distance of 2.07% and 11 fixed site differences in the cytochrome b sequences, indicating that Jeju S. c. hallamontanus is one endemic subspecies with concordant genetic distinctness, although further analyses with nuclear DNA sequences are necessary to confirm these findings. However, S. c. annexus from the mainland Korean Peninsula was not divergent from S. c. macropygmaeus from northeastern China and adjacent Russia, indicating that S. c. annexus from the mainland Korean Peninsula is another endemic subspecies with only morphological differences, although it is necessary to reexamine the subspecies status of S. c. annexus.

화학 영양성으로 배양한 Rps. gelatinosa 에서 2회의 시토크롬 c 친화성 크로마토그래피와 DEAE-Sephacel 이온 교환 크로마토그래피 등 3 단계의 크로마토그래피를 수행하여 시토로콤 c 산화효소를 정제하였다. 정제된 시토크롬 c 산화효소는 Sephacryl S-300 에 의한 분자걍이 약 110,000 Da 이고 SDS-gel 전기영동에 의한 분자량이 약 52.000 Da 으로써 이량체일 것으로 보인다. 전제된 시토크롬 c 산화효소는 온도데 매우 불안정하고 말 심장 시토크롬 c 를 기질로 사용했을때 Km 값은 $20\mu$M, Vmax 값은 44unit/mg prot. 이며 pH 6.4 의 효소방응 최적 pH 와 25.deg.C 의 최적 온도를 보였다. 환원된 시토크롬 c 산화효소는 554, 523, 421 nm 에서 .alpha., .betha. soret 흡수대를 보였고 chromatophore 에서와 마찬가지로 KCN 과 $NaN_{3}$ 에 의해서는 효소 활성도가 저해를 받았지만 CO 와 antimycin A, myxothiazol 에 의해서는 효소 활성도가 저해를 받지 않았다. 빛을 에너지원으로 배양하거나 또는 화학영양성으로 배양하든지 모두 시토크롬 c-551 이 생성되었고 환원된 시토크롬 c-551 은 시토크롬 c 산화효소에 의해 산화되었다. 시토크롬 c-551 을 기질고 이용하였을 때 시토크롬 c 산화효소의 Km 값은 $26\mu$M 이었고 Vmax 값은 31.unit./mg prot. 로써 말심장의 시토크롬 c 를 기질로 이용할때 보다 오히려 낮았다. 이와 같은 결과로 보아 화학 영양성은 배양한 Rhodopseudomonas gelatinosa 에서 호흡에 의한 전자전달은 시토크롬 c-551 이 시토크롬 $bc_{1}$ 복합체로 부터 전자를 받아 b-형 시토크롬 c 산화효소에 전자를 전달해 주고 최정적으로 산소를 환원시킬 것으로 생각된다.

중국과 북동 중국에 서식하는 등줄쥐 2아종 (Apodemus agrarius coreae와 A. agrarius manchuricus)의 아종 내의 유전자 다양성의 정도를 파악하고 2아종간의 차이를 확인하기 위해, 미토콘드리아 DNA cytochrome b 유전자의 부분 염기서열을 분석하였다. 열 여덟마리의 A. agrarius coreae로부터 10 haplotype이, 그리고 2마리의 A. agrarius manchuricus로부터 1 haplotype이 밝혀졌다. 아종 coreae의 10 haplotype간의 Tamura-Nei nucleotide 거리는 0.36에서 1.86%였고, 2아종 coreae와 manchuricus간의 nucleotide 거리는 0.37에서 1.47%였다. 아종 coreae내 최대 genetic divergene 거리는 2아종간의 최대거리보다 크게 나타났다. 또한 2아종의 11 haplotype을 비교했을 때에, 뚜렷하게 아군으로 나뉘어지지 않았다. 본 염기서열의 분석 결과는 지금까지의 형태적 연구의 결과와 일치하지 않았으며, cytochrome b 유전자는 A. agrarius의 2아종을 구분하기에 좋은 유전자 marker가 아닌 것으로 판단됐다. 앞으로, A. agrarius의 2아종간의 유전적 관계를 밝히기 위해 미토콘드리아 DNA control region의 분석이 필요하다고 본다.

To reexamine taxonomic status of endemic Mogera wogura coreana from Korea, we first obtained partial 12S rRNA sequences (893 bp) and complete cytochrome b gene sequences (1140 bp) of this subspecies, and these sequences and partial cytochrome b sequences (402 bp) were compared to the corresponding haplotypes of M. wogura from East Asia, obtained from GenBank. The one of three 12S rRNA haplotypes in M. w. coreana was identical to one 12S rRNA haplotype of M. w. robusta from East Asia: 10 complete and 13 partial cytochrome b haplotypes of M. w. coreana formed a single clade with one complete and four partial cytochrome b haplotypes of M. w. robusta, respectively. We considered that M. w. coreana from Korea is an endemic subspecies with only morphological differences, although it is necessary to reexamine the subspecies status of M. w. coreana. Additionally, in the 12S rRNA and complete cytochrome b sequences, M. wogura from Japan was distinct from the two continental subspecies of M. w. coreana and M. w. robusta with average distances of 1.76 and 5.65%, respectively; insular M. wogura, with within-group distances of 2.09 and 4.38%, respectively, was also genetically more divergent than the mainland M. wogura, with within-group distances of 0.08 and 0.57%, respectively. Thus, we considered that insular M. wogura of Japan dispersed into neighboring East Asian continent, which is opposite to the traditional hypothesis on the origin of Japanese M. wogura.

Eurasian yellow perch (Perca fluviatilis) and American yellow perch (Perca flavescens) are known to be endemic species in Eurasia and North America, respectively. The presence of endemic species on each continent suggests their independent evolutionary history. However, because of the morphological similarity, distribution pattern, and only recent fossil record, their divergence time and speciation of the two Perca species has long been controversial. Here, from the comparison of the entire nucleotide sequences of cytochrome b gene, large genetic divergence between the two Perca species is observed although they are morphologically similar each other. Among 1,140 base pairs, interspecific nucleotide differences are found at 130 sites $(11.4\%)$. The differences varies with codon position, showing 22 sites in the first, 5 sites in the second, and 103 sites in the third codon position. Considering the types of nucleotide changes, transitional differences are much more than transversional differences and its ratio turned out to be 5.19. The estimated divergence time of the two Perca species indicates that they were separated each other approximately in the late Miocene period, which implies the long history of speciation. With comparison of the inferred amino acid sequences, strong structural and functional constraints which seem to be maintained by the highly conservative amino acid residues or protein regions, as found in other taxonomic groups of organisms, are also recognized in the cytochrome b of the fishes examined.

The carbon tetrachloride($CCl_4$) has been demonstrated to have a hepatotoxic effect in human or many other species. To investigate the enzyme induction of mixed function oxygenases in liver of male Sprague-Dawley rats a single 0.1, 0.5 mι/kg dose of carbon tetrachloride were given. At 24 hr after a single dose of 0.1 mι CC1$_4$/kg weight, methanol extract of Hedera rhombea leaves was administered with 100, 500 mg/kg weight. Assays of 7-ethoxyresorufin-Ο-deethylation(EROD),7-benzyloxyresorufin-Ο-deathylation(BROD),4-nitro-phenol-UDP-glucuronosyltransferase(UDPGT), Western blot and RNA slot blot were used as representatives of the activities of cytochrome P-450 enzymes. The change of the activity of CYP1A1 form measured by EROD assay and Western analysis using 1-7-1 monoclonal antibody was not observed. The activity CYP2B1 form by BROD assay and using 2-66-3 monoclonal antibody was remarkably increased. Elevated level of CYP2B1 mRNA was shown by slot hybridization with 2B1-specific probe. Administration of methanol extract of Hedera rhombea leaves reversed the enzyme activity and the level of mRNA, which suggest the chemoprotective effect of methanol extracts of Hedera rhombea leaves to carbon tetrachloride hepatotoxlcity.

Cytochrome $b_{5}$($b_{5}$) can be found in a variety of tissues and plays a role in the electron transfer pathways. Several retropseudogenes (numbered as I, II, II, IV, V) have been identified and well investigated for their structures. However, retropseudogene I is not clear in terms of its location on the chromosome. In addition the structure and the exression of retropseudogene V have not been confirmed. To examine the structure of bs retropseudogenes V and to see whether it is expressed in human blood we applied recombinant DNA technologies including polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing. Retropseudogene V turned out to contain open reading frame (ORF) within its structure, however, no evidence of its expression was detected. Retropseudogene I was also found on the chromosome V. This study should contribute to the understanding of the structure of bs gene family.

We have previously shown that 2, 3', 4, 5' -tetramethoxystilbene(TMS) from synthetic trans-stilbene analogues, is one of the most potently selective inhibitor of recombinant human cytochrome P450 1B1 in vitro. In the present studies. the effects of TMS on the expression of cytochrome P450 1B1 were investigated in human cancer cell lines such as MCF-7 and HL -60. TCDD-stimulated P450 1B1 protein and mRNA expression was significantly suppressed by TMS in a dose-dependent manner. (omitted)
