동물계에서 항바이러스와관련된 dsRNA 의존성 인산화 효소(PKR)의 유전자를 식물체에서 발현시킬 경우 PKR에 의한 단백질합성 및 식물바이러스의 증식조절 가능성에 대한 기초자료를 확보하기 위하여 사람에서 분리된 PKR cDNA를 Agrobacterium 방법에 의하여 연초식물체(Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi-nc)로 형질전환시켰다. HindIII/PstI처리에 의해 얻어지는 약 1.8kb의 phPKR cDNA절편을 일련의 유전자 조작 방법을 통하여 식물발현벡터인 pBI121에 도입하여, p12168을 재조합하였다. 이를 A. tumefaciens LBA 4404에 형질전환시켜 연초식물체형질 전환에 이용하였다. 2mg/l BA와 0.5mg/l NAA가 포함되고 100$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml의 kanamycin이 첨가된 MS배지에서 shooting시킨 후 phytohormone이 첨가되지 않은 MS배지상에서 rooting을 시켜 형질전환 연초식물체를 얻었으며, 형질전환식물체는 정상식물체와 유사한 생육양상을 나타내었다. 형질전환식물체의 유전자도입은 hPKR cDNA의 전사부여는 RT-PCR 방법에 의하여 확인되었다.

Eight strains of Trichaptun (Polyporaceae), two strains from each species of T. abietinum, T. biforme, T. fusco-violaceum, and T. laricinum were examined to see their phylogenetic relationship by digesting mitochondrial DNAs with EcoRV, Hind III, XbaI, and PstI, and then analyzing fragmentation patterns with the methods of Nei and Li. T. abietinum, T. biforme, and T. laricinum developed an independent phylogenetic lineage, respectively, but T. fusco-violaceum FP-133997-sp showed a close relationship with two strains of T. bioforme, and T. fusco-violaceum HHB-4016-sp barely grouped with those of T. laricinum. Based on the results of the RFLP analysis of mtDNA, it is concluded that T. fusco-violaceum is under way to differentiation into two different subgroups.

The gene encoding the bacteriolytic enzyme cell wall peptidoglycan hydrolase from alkalophilic Bacillus sp. was cloned in E. coli using pBR322 as a vector. A recombinant plasmid, designated pYTR451, was isolated and the size of the cloned HindIII fragment was found to be 4.8 Kb. The cell wall hydrolysis activity of an extract of the E. coli harboring the recombinant plasmid pYTR 451 was detected by SDS- polyacrylamide gel containing 0.2% (w/v) purified cell wall of Bacillus sp. The molecular weight of the enzyme was estimated to be about 27, 000 corresponding to the molecular weight of the Bacillus sp. bacteriolytic enzyme. The recombinant plasmid was found to contain the fragment originated from Bacillus sp. YJ-451 chromosomal DNA by Southern hybridization.

Variation within the intergenic spacer(IGS) of the ribosomal DNA gene for twenty-two strains of E. oxysporum and its formae speciales was examined by PCR, couped with RELP analysis. The length of the amplified IGS region was about 2.6 kb in all strains except F.oxysporum f. sp. cucumer-inum from Korea and F. oxysporum f. sp. niveum. Those two strains were 2.5 kb long. Restriction digestion of IGS-RELP regions by Eco RI, NruI, HincII, SAlI, SmaI, BalIi, HindIII, XhoI and KpnI gave rise to nine IGS hapoltypes among all strains. Cluster analysis based on the presence of absence of comigrating restriction reagments show the two groups based on 44% genetic similarity. These results demonstrated that analysis of IGS showed some difference within and between F. oxysporum formae speciales.

The genomes of leptospiral field isolates from Korea belonging to serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae (21 strains) and serogroup Canicola (1 strain) were analysed and compared by restriction enzyme analysis with EcoRI and HindIII as digesting enzymes. One isolate belonging to serogroup Canicola showed the same pattern as serovar portlandvere. All 21 isolates belonging to serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae showed almost same patterns as Leptospira serovar lai from China, But with very slight differences 21 isolates could be classified into 8 subtypes and these grouping seems to reflect the differences in epidemiological niche. And also the geographical data consisted with the grouping into 8 subtypes. According to our results, we concluded that the restriction endonuclease analysis of chromosomal DNA will be an accurate and reliable method to compare and classify pathogenic leptospires.

Polysomal polyadenylated mRNAs which were purified from pea leaves were fractionated by sucrose grandient sedimentation. Fractions corresponding to the peak at 11.5S were found to contain mostly mRNA encoding the precursor polypeptide to the small subunit of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (rbcS) by in vitro translation in wheat germ extract. Double-stranded cDNA which was synthesized from the 11.5S mRNA was cloned into Hind III site of plasmid pBR 325. A cDNA clone, H24, was identified to code for rbcS. In vitro translation product of the hybridization-selected mRNA was molecular weight 20,000, presumably the precursor of rbcS. The nucleotide sequences of the H24 showed almost complete homology with the sequences encoding the transit peptide of the rbcS-3A gene which was reported by Fluhr et al.(1986).

Besides (-) pimara-8(14), 15-dien-19-oic acid [I] which had already been isolated as an active anti-inflammtory principle of Aralia continentalis, (-) kaur-16-en-19-oic acid [II] was separated as another active component of the plant, by tracing albumin stabilizing activity. $IC_{50}$ of [II] for the protein stabilizing activity was 0.026mg/3ml, when those of [I] and phenylbutazone were 0.032 and 0.32 mg/3ml, respectively. Being investigated employing carrageenin-induced edema test in rat hind paw, the anti-inflammatory activity of [II] administered s. c. was slightly lower than that of phenylbutazone, whereas the activity of [II] administered p. p. was three times greater than that of phenylbutazone. These results of [II] were contrary to those of [I] in the aspect of administration routes.

The clinical isolate Staphylococcus aureus SA2 had four kinds of plasmids and was resistant to ampicillin, chloramphenicol, clindamycin, erythromycin, gentamicin, kanamycin, methicillin, streptomycin, tetracycline and tobramycin. Transformation experiment demonstrated that 4.44 kb plasmid(pKH6) encoded resistance to tetracycline. The cleavage map of pKH6 was determined by restriction enzyme mapping techniques. The cleavage map is given for EcoRV, HindIII, HpaI, HpaII, KpnI and Xbal. Restriction endonucleases BamHl, BglI, BGIII, BstEII, EcoRI, HaellI, PstI, PvuII, SalI, Smal, and Xhol have no site on this plasmid. The restriction map revealed extensive structural homology between pKH6 and pT181.

도열병균, Magnaporthe grisea, 균주간의 유전적 유연관계를 분석하고 그들의 유전에 관한 '기본 정보를 얻고자 DNA polymorphism 분석을 실시하였다. 기주가 다른 도열병 균주들이 공시되었고 cloning에 의해 벼 도열병균 KJ201레이스 균주로부터 생성된 임의 선발 genomic clone들이 공시균주들간의 polymorphism을 밝히기 위해 사용되었던 바 그중 repectitive sequence를 보유한 repeated copy clone 하나가 선발되었다. Clone pMJ6에 의해 밝혀진 repetitive sequence는 Southern hybridization시 벼 분리균주에는 약 30개, 다른 기주 분리균에도 20∼33개의 밴드를 형성하였다. 반면 피 분리균주에는 단지 두 개의 밴드만을 나타내 분리기주가 다른 균주간에 뚜렷한 polymorphism이 존재하였으며 parsimony 분석에서도 역시 아주 먼 cluster를 형성하여 피 분리균은 다른 기주 분리균과 유전적으로 상당히 먼 것으로 추정되었다. 공시균의 genomic DNA를 HindIII로 처리했을 때 pMJ6에 의한 밴드양상은 공시균을 EcoRI으로 처리했을 때의 MGR probe의 밴드 양상과 유사하여 이 repeated copy clone이 도열병균주간의 유전적 유연관계를 분석하는데 MGR 못지않게 유용할 것으로 보인다.

Interferons are cytokines that confer resistance to viral infection and inhibit cellular proliferation. The interferon alpha gene from human blood samples was amplified, cloned and expressed in E. coli (BL21). Leukocyte chromosomal DNA was used as a source of template DNA. Using specific primers, the gene for HulFN$\{alpha}$-2b was amplified and inserted into the E. coli vector, pET21b, by ligation of the HindIII and BamHI linkers of the vector and insert. The insert was further analyzed by PCR, DNA restriction mapping and sequencing, and expressed in a suitable E. coli strain. The production of this important cellular protein in the laboratory has significant applications in production of the recombinant pharmaceutical proteins.
