A Cryptosporidium parvum sporozoite and oocyst λgt11 cDNA library was screened with a hyperimmune rabbit serum that was developed against insoluble fragments of ultrasonicated oocysts. A clone named Cp22.4.1 encoding a protein of 231 amino acids with 4 zinc-finger domains characterized by a Cys-X2-Cys-X4-His-X4-Cys motif was isolated and characterized. There was a complete match between the sequencing data of the coding region of Cp22.4.1 and the corresponding gene at chromosomal level. Cloning in a pBAD-TOPO-TA expression vector permitted to evaluate the antigenicty of the recombinant His-tagged antigen. This antigen was recognized by 2 out of 5 sera from Cruptosporidium immune calves and not by sera from parasite naive animals.

유전자 염기서열의 직접적인 변화 대신 후성기작을 통해 유전자 발현이 조절되는 후성유전은 크게 DNA 메틸화(methylation), 히스톤 변형(modification), ncRNA(non-coding RNA)로 제어가 가능하다. 후성유전을 이해하기 위해 노화 관련 유전자를 대상으로 데이터베이스를 구축하고 전반적인 연구결과를 살펴보고자 한다. 유전자의 프로모터(promoter), CpG island(CGI) 부위에 메틸화가 될 경우 다른 부위에 비해 유전자 발현에 큰 영향을 주므로, 특히 CGI 부위를 중심으로 전체 유전자 그룹과 노화 관련 유전자 그룹간의 분포도를 비교 분석하였다. 또한 ncRNA 중 miRNA와 노화 유전자와의 상호작용을 분석하였다. 이와 같은 분석접근 방법은 노화 관련 유전자의 조절을 이해하는데 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.

Streptococcus hyointestinalis B19 was isolated from chicken feces collected from local farm in Anseong, Korea. S. hyointestinalis B19 was shown to produce bacteriocin-like compounds exhibiting inhibitory activities against several pathogens including strains of Clostridium perfringens and Listeria monocytogenes. The whole genome of S. hyointestinalis B19 strain was sequenced using PacBio RS II platform. The genome comprised four contigs with a size of 2,217,061 bp. The DNA G + C content was found to be 42.95 mol%. Annotation results revealed 2,266 coding sequences (CDSs), 18 rRNAs, and 61 tRNA genes. Based on genome analysis, we found that the strain B19 possessed various genes associated with bacteriocin synthesis, modification, and transport.

In order to increase the expression of XMP aminase [EC 6.3.4.1], which catalizes the conversion of 5'-XMP to the DNA fragment containing gua A gene coding for XMP aminase from pLC 34-10 plasmid was subcloned into pBR 322, and 1.7 kb gua A gene fragment was recloned under the control of trp promoter of pDR 720, E. coli expression vector. XMP aminase activity had increased by about 17 times when compared with that of the strain earring pLC 34-10.

Dumortiera hirsuta (Sw.) Nees (Dumortieraceae) is a thallose liverwort distributed in tropics and subtropics. It is the only species in family Dumortieraceae, which is the second basal family in order Marchantiales. D. hirsuta is characterized by hairy receptacles and lacking air chamber. The complete chloroplast genome of D. hirsuta was successfully rescued from raw reads generated by HiSeq4000. Its total length is 122,050 bp consisting of four regions: large single copy (LSC) region (81,697 bp), small single copy (SSC) region (20,061 bp), and two inverted repeats (IRs; 10,146 bp per each). It contained 129 genes (84 coding DNA sequence (CDS), eight rRNAs, and 37 tRNAs); 18 genes including four rRNAs, and five tRNAs are duplicated in the IR regions. The overall GC content of D. hirsuta is 28.7%, which is almost same to that of Marchantia paleacea. Phylogenetic tree based on all genes from whole chloroplast genomes will provides phylogenetic position of D. hirstua. This sequence will be an fundamental resources for further researches of order Marchantiales.

Glycinin and $\beta$-conglycinin are the most abundant storage protein in soybean. These proteins are known to be synthesized predominantly during germination and cell expansion phase of seed development for short period, and synthesized not in other tissues. Genes encoding these storage proteins are useful system to study the mechanism of development stage and tissue specific gene expression in eukaryotes, especially plants, at the molecular level. The cDNA and genomic clones coding for glycinin have been isolated and regulation mechanism of the gene expression has been studied. Initially, development and tissue-specific expression of the glycinin gene is regulated at the level of transcription. Post-transcriptional processing is also responsible for delayed accumulation of the mRNA. Translational control of the storage protein gene has not been reported. Post-translational modification is another strategic point to regulate the expression of the gene. It is possible to identify positive and/or negative reguratory clements in vivo by producing transgenic plants agter gene manipulation. Elucidation of activation and repression mechanism of soybean storage protein genes will contribute to the understanding of the other plant and eukaryotic genes at molecular level.

The role of $Ca^{2+}$ in making functional malate synthase in Corynebacterium glutamicum was investigated using the cloned DNA coding for the enzyme. Introduction of cloned aceB into C. glutamicum overexpressed malate synthase as judged by SDS-PAGE. However, the increase in enzyme activity of the expressed malate synthase did not match the level of overexpression observed in SDS-PAGE. Addition of $Ca^{2+}$ to the growth medium specifically increased the activity. The malate synthase could be stained with ruthenium red in a $Ca^{2+}$-specific manner. This agrees with the previous observation which reported a potential $Ca^{2+}$-binding domain in the N-terminal region of the protein.

Graph theory is becoming increasingly significant as it is applied of mathematics, science and technology. It is being actively used in fields as varied as biochemistry(genomics), electrical engineering(communication networks and coding theory), computer science(algorithms and computation) and operations research(scheduling). The powerful results in other areas of pure mathematics. Rhis paper, besides giving a general outlook of these facts, includes new graph theoretical proofs of Fermat's Little Theorem and the Nielson-Schreier Theorem. New applications to DNA sequencing (the SNP assembly problem) and computer network security (worm propagation) using minimum vertex covers in graphs are discussed. We also show how to apply edge coloring and matching in graphs for scheduling (the timetabling problem) and vertex coloring in graphs for map coloring and the assignment of frequencies in GSM mobile phone networks. Finally, we revisit the classical problem of finding re-entrant knight's tours on a chessboard using Hamiltonian circuits in graphs.

The cel7A sequence variation was analyzed between the wild type (Lentinula edodes KACC42378) and its cellulase activity enhanced mutant LER277. LER277 was induced by using gamma ray radiation ($^{60}Co$) at the $LD_{99}$ dose (0.94 kGy). Cloning and sequencing results showed that the cel7A coding DNA sequence (CDS) of LER277 had five nucleotide substitutions ($T{\rightarrow}C$, 201, 285 and 744 nt; $A{\rightarrow}G$, 525 nt; $C{\rightarrow}T$, 540 nt) and one hexanucleotide repeat insertion (GGCACC, within 1375-1392 nt) compared to that of the wild type. The Five nucleotide substitutions did not change the deduced amino acids and the hexanucleotide insertion elongated the GT repeat in a serine/threonine/glycine-rich linker. These results suggest that the enhancement of the cellulase activity in LER277 partly stemmed from cel7A changes by which the GT repeat of the linker is elongated.

A cDNA encoding the luciferase of firefly Luciola lateralis was cloned downstream from the polyhedrin gene promoter of Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus and expressed in B. mori cells (BmN-4). The coding soquence for luciferase was inserted into pBmKSK2 rectors) which was reconstructed from the polyhedrin-based transfer vector pBmKSKl by modifying cloning sites. Recombinant virus, BmK2-LUCDF, containing the luciferase gene was selected and purified in BmN-4 cells. The emission of luminescence by luciferase was only detected in BmK2-LUCDF-infected cell extracts. This result indicates that the cloned new luciferase gene of firefly L. lateralis can be expressed efficiently in baculovirus expression system and used as a useful reporter gene.
