Virginiae butanolide C (VB-C) binding protein binds to virginiamycin inducing factor and the protein may function as a possible pleiotropic signal transducer. To further understand signal transducing mechanism, some properties of VB-C binding protcin were investigated. VB-C binding activity was gradually increased during 60 hrs incubation: whereas the amount of produced VBs was not changed. However. VB-C hinding activity was decreased by 30-5096 in the presence of genome DNA. The binding protein could he phosphorylated by [$\gamma-^{32}\textrm{P}$] ATP. These results suggest that the DNA binding and phosphorylation may be involved in signal transducing mechanism.

As an initial effort to elucidate RNA: protein binding in a way to regulate translation initiation and phosphorylation, a cDNA encoding a double-stranded RNA binding factor (RBFII)was isolated from Hela ZAPII cDNA library by affinity screening using [$\alpha$$^{-32}$P] UMP-labeled HIV Rev-responsive element(RRE) RNA. The nucleotide sequence of RBF (or TRBP) cDNA except the 5’end. At the 5’end, This common ORF was fused in-frame to N-terminal residues of Lac-Z through a unique 138 nt sequence encoding 46residues in the case of RBFII and a 63 nt sequence encoding 21 residuces in the case of RBFI. The context of ATG appearing first in the sequences suggests that both these cDNA inserts are incomplete at the 5’end.

본 연구에서는 DNA의 상보적인 결합을 이용하여 DNA 혼성화 반응을 감지할 수 있는 SH형 SAW 센서를 개발하였다. 측정에 사용된 DNA는 15개의 염기를 가진 올리고 뉴클레오티드를 사용하였으며 이에 대해 상보적 결합이 가능한 염기서열을 가진 것과 그렇지 않은 미스매치 형태의 DNA 올리고뉴클레오티드를 이용하여 DNA 혼성화 반응 특성을 측정하였다. SH형 SAW 센서는 압전 단결정 $LiTaO_{3}$를 사용하여 100 MHz 발진되는 형태로 제작하였으며, 센서의 지연선 위에 Ti/Au 층을 증착하여 SH기가 수식된 탐침 DNA의 고정화가 가능하게 하였다. 제작된 센서는 Au가 증착된 박막위에 탐침 DNA를 SAM 방법으로 고정화 시켰을 경우와 고정화된 탐침 DNA와 표적 DNA와의 혼성화 반응을 시키고 난 후의 센서의 주파수 변화를 각각 측정하였다. 개발된 DNA 혼성화 반응 측정용 SH형 SAW센서는 DNA 혼성화 특성에 기인한 질량하중 효과에 따른 안정적인 주파수 변화를 나타내었다.

자외선 등에 의한 DNA 합성억제의 회복과정에서의 기작을 규명하기 위하여 자외선에 의하여 억제되었던 DNA 합성이 새로운 replication origin을 사용하는 지를 DNA 복제가 일어나는 장소로 알려진 nuclear matrix와 연관지어서 살펴 보았다. 자외선 조사후 새로 합성된 DNA 분자들의 크기는 시간이 경과하여도 대조군의 DNA 분자들의 크기보다 작았으나 그 성장 양상은 차이가 얼었고, 자외선이 조사된 세포에서 parental DNA의 부가적인 결합이 DNA 합성률의 회복에 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 자외선 상해의 회복과정에서 생기는 알카리 민감성 부위는 RNA linker에 의해 생겨남을 알 수 있었다. 이상의 결과들을 종합하여 보면, 자외선에 의해 pyrimidine dimer가 생기면 첫째로 절제회복에 의해 제거되어지지만, 남아 있는 pyrimidine dimel에 의해서 DNA 복제억제는 여전히 억제되어 있다. DNA 복제억제의 회복은 새로운 복제원점이 활성화되어 nuclear matrix에 결합하여 새로운 DNA 합성이 시작됨으로써 이루어진다. 이때 RNA linker는 복제진행시 DNA 상의 gap으로 생긴 tyopological strain을 제거하는데 이용되어진다.

Two new palladium (II) complexes, [Pd (phen)(pip-dtc)]$NO_3$ and [Pd(phen)(mor-dtc)]$NO_3$, (where phen is 1,10-Phenantroline, pip-dtc is piperidinedithiocarbamate anion and mor-dtc is morpholinedithiocarbamate anion) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic studies (FT-IR, $^1H$ NMR, UV-Vis) and conductance measurement. In these complexes, the dithiocarbamate ligands coordinate with Pd (II) center as bidentate with two sulfur atoms. These two complexes have been tested against chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line, K562. They show $IC_{50}$ values less than cisplatin and thus the mode of binding of the complexes to calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) were investigated by ultraviolet difference and fluorescence spectroscopy. They can denature DNA, exhibit cooperative binding and intercalate into DNA. Several binding and thermodynamic parameters are also described.

살아있는 생명체는 세포로 구성되며 성장 분열을 통해 스스로 복제할 수 있는 능력을 지녔다. DNA 상의 변이, 즉 돌연변이는 자손의 생존과 번식에 불리하게 작용할 수 있고 이점을 줄 수 있는 양면성을 지녔다. 본 연구에서는 DNA 이중나선은 복제 주형으로 사용되기 위해서는 먼저 이중나선이 열리고 단일 가닥으로 분리되어야 한다. 이중 나선구조결합에서의 결합의 오류부분의 위치를 찾아내고 복구하는 방법을 제시한다.

In this paper, we proposed a method complementing failure of combining DNA fragments, defect of conventional contig assembly programs. In the proposed method, very long DNA sequence data are made into a prototype of fragment of about 700 bases that can be analyzed by automatic sequence analyzer at one time, and then matching ratio is calculated by comparing a standard prototype with 3 fragmented clones of about 700 bases generated by the PCR method. In this process, the time for calculation of matching ratio is reduced by Compute Agreement algorithm. Two candidates of combined fragments of every prototype are extracted by the degree of overlapping of calculated fragment pairs, and then degree of combination is decided using a fuzzy reasoning method that utilizes the matching ratios of each extracted fragment, and A, C, G, T membership degrees of each DNA sequence, and previous frequencies of each A, C, G, T. In this paper. DNA sequence combination is completed by the iteration of the process to combine decided optimal test fragments until no fragment remains. For the experiments, fragments or about 700 bases were generated from each sequence of 10,000 bases and 100,000 bases extracted from 'PCC6803', complete protein genome. From the experiments by applying random notations on these fragments, we could see that the proposed method was faster than FAP program, and combination failure, defect of conventional contig assembly programs, did not occur.

Cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP) complexed with cAMP binds to DNA and induces sharp DNA bending around ${\sim}90$ degree. Previous publication (5), however, reported that mutant CRP:cGMP complex showed high migration rate relative to mutant CRP:cAMP complex on native polyacrylamide gel. To confirm DNA structural change in the presence of CRP and cyclic nucleotide, molar cyclization factor $(j_M)$ [13] was measured with 6 constructed DNA fragments. Nonlinear regression analysis of $j_M$ data indicated that mutant CRP did not induce DNA bending in the presence of cGMP but bent DNA in the presence of cAMP without any helical twist change in DNA.

Complexes of thiocyanato(L)cobaloximes where L is urea, acetamide, semicrabazide and formamide were synthesized and characterized. The reaction of thiocyanato (L) cobaloximes (SCNCo$(DH)_2$(L)) with benzyl (aquo) cobaloxime $PhCH_2Co(DH)_2(OH_2)$ was found to produce a series of thiocyanato bridged dicobaloximes of a general formula of $PhCH_2Co(DH)_2SCNCo(DH_2)(L)$. Evidence for formulation as dicobaloximes containing thiocyanato ligand bridges was obtained from infrared data which show $20-45cm^{-1}$ increase in vCN upon formation of the dicobaloxime from the corresponding terminal thiocyanocobaloxime (SCNCo$(DH)_2$(L)). Further characterization of these two series was done on the basis of ($^1H$,$^{13}C$)NMR, LCMS and elemental analysis. Anti-microbial activity of thiocyanato(L)cobaloximes and thiocyanato bridged dicobaloximes were screened against E. Coli. The DNA-binding behaviors of both monomers and dimers were investigated by spectroscopic methods and viscosity measurements. The results indicated that the dimer complexes bind with calf-thymus DNA in an intercalative mode via the terminal benzyl ring into the base pairs of DNA. It was observed that the monomer complexes did not interact with DNA. Fluorescence spectra for the interaction between thiocyanato bridged dicobaloximes and DNA were also studied.

Cloning and expression of copper-binding peptide gene in E. coli was carried out to enhance the copper-chelation capacity. E. coli was transformed with pET vector containing the copper-binding region of potato polyphenol oxidase gene and polyhistidine-coding DNA, and the copper content of E. coli harboring each vector was measured. No increase in intracellular copper was observed in E. coli harboring PPOCBpET32 vector, which contains DNA for polyphenol oxidase copper-binding region. Intracellular copper content of E. coli harboring pE728a vector, which contains one hexahistidine unit DNA, was 2,500 ppm after culturing without kanamycin, whereas E. coli harboring pET-his vector, which contains nine hexahistidine unit DNAs was 3,200 ppm.
