With the introduction of DNA microarrays, a high throughput analysis of gene expression is now possible as a replacement to the traditional time-consuming Southern-blot analysis. This cDNA microarray should be ahighly favored technology in the area of molecular toxicology or analysis of environmental stresses.In this study, therefore, we developed a novel cDNA microarray for analyzing stress-specific responses in japanese Medaka fish. In the design and fabrication of this stress specific functional cDNA microarray, 123 different genes in Medaka fish were selected from eighteen different stress responsive groups and spotted on a 25${\times}$75 mm glass surface. After exposure of the fish to bisphenol A which is the one of the well-known endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), over 1 or 10 days, the responses of the DNA chip were found to show distinct expression patterns according to the mode of toxic actions from environmental toxicants. As a results, they showed specific gene expression pattern to bisphenol A, additionally, the chemical spesific biomarkers could be suggested based on the chip analysis data. Therefore, this chip can be used to monitor stress responses of unknown and/or known toxic chemicals using Medaka fish and may be used for the further development of biomarkers by utilizing the gene expression patterns for known contaminants.

본 연구는 목저은 다음과 같다: 1) 돼지에서 150-kDa temary insulin-like growth faetor(IGF)complex의 한 구성 요소인 acid-labile subunit(ALS) 유전자 intron의 존재 확인. cloning 및 돼지 ALS(porcine ALS; pALS) complementary DNA(cDNA)의 3' 비해독(untranslated) 부위(3' UT) 증폭. cloning, 2) intron-spanning primer pair를 이용한 reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) 방법에 의한 돼지 조직에서의 ALS 유전자 발현 분포 확인 및 3) 돼지 hepatocyte에서의 ALS 유전자 발현 여부 확인. 돼지 genomic DNA를 template로 하여 PCR 방법으로 예상된는 intron 부위를 증폭하고 plasmid vector에 삽입하여 염기서열을 결정한 결과 타 종의 ALS 유전자에서와 같은 위치에 1,371-base pair(bp)의 pALS intron이 존재함을 확인하였다. 역시 본 연구에서 간에서 추출한 RNA를 주형으로 시작하여 3' rapid amplification of cDNA end(3' RACE) 방법으로 147-bp의 3'UT를 합성하고 그 염기성열을 결정하였다. RT-PCR 결과 간은 물론 조사된 모든 돼지의 내장기관(신장, 폐, 비장)과 자성 생식기관(난소, 난관, 자궁) 및 골격근육에서 ALS 유전자가 발현됨이 밝혀졌다. 또한 돼지 간 조직에 대한 in-situ hybridization 결과 hepatocyte에서 ALS 유전자가 발현됨이 확인되었다. 이상의 결과는 ALS가 혈중 IGF의 저정/조절체로서의 주기능 외에 모세혈관 밖에서도 미지의 기능이 있을 기능성을 시사한다.

Among dozens of DNA polymerases cloned from thermophilic bacteria, Taq DNA polymerase from Thermus aquaticus has been most frequently used in polymerase chain reaction (PCR) that is being applied to gene cloning, DNA sequencing, gene expression analysis, and detection of infectious and genetic diseases. Since native Taq DNA polymerase is expressed at low level in T. aquaticus, recombinant Escherichia coli system was used to produce Taq DNA polymerase in a large amount. Taq DNA polymerase was expressed as a soluble form under the control of tac promoter in E. coli, and purified by heat treatment and ion exchange chromatographies. The purified Taq DNA polymerase was nearly homogeneous and exhibited a similar DNA amplification activity with a commercial Taq DNA polymerase.

PSMC5 subunit, which belongs to the 26S proteasomal subunit family, plays an important role in the antigen presentation mediated by MHC class I molecular. Full-length cDNA of porcine PSMC5 was isolated using the in silico cloning and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). Amino acid was deduced and the primary structure was analyzed. Results revealed that the porcine PSMC5 gene shares the high degree of sequence similarity with its mammalian counterparts at both the nucleotide level and the amino acid level. The RT-PCR was performed to detect the porcine PSMC5 expression pattern in seven tissues and the result showed that high express level was observed in spleen, lung, marrow and liver while the low express level was in muscle. The full-length genomic DNA sequence of porcine PSMC5 gene was amplified by PCR and the genomic structure revealed that this gene was comprised by 12 exons and 11 introns. Best alignment of the cDNA and genomic exon DNA sequence presents 4 mismatches and this information potentially bears further study in gene polymorphisms.

This study aimed to explore efficient DNA extraction methods using tree nuts. Four different DNA extraction procedures, including silica membrane method, modified silica method, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) method, and modified CTAB method were examined for their relative efficiency in extracting DNA from pistachio, pine nut, almond, hazelnut, cashew nut, walnut, and peanut. The quality and quantity of the extracted DNA were subsequently assessed by spectrometric measurements, gel electrophoresis, and PCR amplifications. CTAB method was the most appropriate one for extracting DNA from pine nut, cashew nut, pistachio, and peanut. However, it could be replaced by the silica membrane method for walnut and modified CTAB method for almond and hazelnut.

The specific DNA band appeared in PCR-RAPD analysis using OPO-2 primer was a very important for the researching Korean pine-mushrooms, Tricholoma matsutake. This DNA band, sequenced to be the 770 base pairs, existed as only a single copy in the whole genomic DNA's of Korean pine-mushrooms. However, this band was not presenting from the PCR-RAPD bands of other ectomycorrhyzal fungi reacted with the OPO-2 primer or the dot blots. Also, this DNA sequence was not matched with those of the other genes known by NCBI and had low homology together with sequence of other proteins compared. Those results suggested that the specific DNA band can be used as probe for identification of T. matsutake and might be related to the informations rather than the gene for the proteins with analysis of protein sequence translated from the DNA sequence.

The rec-assay on Bacillus subtilis strains H17$({Rec}^+)$ and M45$({Rec}^-)$, the Ames test with modification of preincubation on Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100 and DNA-breaking test on double strand calfthymus DNA were carried out using enzymatically browned substances obtained from the reaction of Prunus salicina (Red) enzyme and polyphenols. The spore rec-assay of enzymatic browning reaction products of pyrogallol, hydroxyhydroquinone. 3,4-dihydrohyoluene and chlorogenic acid showed non-mutagenic activity The spore rec-assay showed a little influence of ${Zn}^{2+}$ and ${Ni}^{2+}$ on the action of four kinds of enzymatic browning reaction products. The enzymatic browning reaction products of polyphenols did not show DNAbreaking activity. ${Cu}^{2+}$ of various metal ions influenced on DNA-breaking of enzymatic browning reaction products of pyrogallol. However, enzymatic browning reaction products of chlorogenic acid inhibited on DNA-breaking activity. Four kinds of enzymatic browning reaction products showed non-mutagenic activity on Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100 with S-9 mix. In the mutagenicity on Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100 with S-9 mix in the presence of benzo$({\alpha})$pyrene which is the carcinogenic substances, four kinds of enzymatic browning reaction products showed desmutagenic activity.
