The growth of baceriophage T4 is inhibited by the presence of the tin gene product o bacteriophage P2. The interaction between purified Tin and gp32 proteins was observed using coimmunoprecipitation experiments. The in vivo interaction was confirmed by yeast two-hybrid experiments. A deletion analysis showed that the Asp 163 region of gp32 to DNA substrates was not affected by the presence of Tin, Thus, it would appear that the inhibition of 4 growth by Tin was due to a protein-protein interaction rather than affecting the DNA-binding ability of gp32.

Studying biological networks, such as protein-protein interactions, is key to understanding complex biological activities. Various types of large-scale biological datasets have been collected and analyzed with high-throughput technologies, including DNA microarray, next-generation sequencing, and the two-hybrid screening system, for this purpose. In this review, we focus on network-based approaches that help in understanding biological systems and identifying biological functions. Accordingly, this paper covers two major topics in network biology: reconstruction of gene regulatory networks and network-based applications, including protein function prediction, disease gene prioritization, and network-based genome-wide association study.

단백질-단백질 결합은 다양한 세포내 반응 조절에서 중요한 역할을 한다. Postsynaptic density-95/disks large/ zonula occludens-1 (PDZ) 도메인은 널리 알려진 단백질-단백질 결합 매개 도메인 중 하나이다. PDZ 도메인은 결합 단백질의 카르복실(C)-말단의 특정 motif와 결합한다. Multi-PDZ domain protein 1 (MUPP1)은 13개 PDZ 도메인을 가지는 단백질로서 다양한 구조단백질 및 신호단백질에 대한 scaffold로 작용한다고 알려져 있지만 MUPP1의 세포 내 기능은 아직 명확히 밝혀지지 않았다. 본 연구에서 MUPP1의 PDZ 도메인과 결합하는 단백질을 규명하기 위하여 효모 two-hybrid 방법을 이용하였고 muskelin이 MUPP1과 결합하는 것을 확인하였다. Muskelin은 GAB_AA 수용체(GABA_AR)의 α1 subunit와 결합하며 수용체의 endocytosis와 분해에 관여하는 것으로 알려져 있다. Muskelin은 MUPP1의 3번째 PDZ 도메인과 결합하지만, 다른 PDZ 도메인과는 결합하지 않았다. 또한 MUPP1과의 결합에 muskelin의 C-말단부위가 필수적임을 효모 two-hybrid 방법으로 확인하였다. HEK-293T 세포에 MUPP1과 muskelin을 동시에 발현하여 면역 침강한 결과 두 단백질은 같이 면역 침강하였다. 반면에 C-말단 결손 muskelin은 MUPP1과 같이 면역 침강하지 않았다. 또한 muskelin과 MUPP1은 세포내의 같은 위치에서 발현하였다. 이러한 결과들은, muskelin과의 결합을 통해, MUPP1 혹은 MUPP1과 결합하는 단백질이 GABA_AR의 세포내이동과 회전(turnover)을 조절할 가능성을 시사한다.

Hybrid Poplar(Poplar nigra var. betulifollia X Poplar trichorcarpa)의 잎절편을 목본실물 배양배지에서 배양하면서 기관분화를 위한 배양조건과 분화과정 중 부정아의 분화와 auxib(NAA)과 cytokinin(BA)과의 상호관계에 대해서 연구하여 다음고 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. Poplar잎절편으로부터 부정아의 분화는 식물호르몬의 조성이 NAA $0.01mg/\ell$, BA$0.2mg/\ell$일 때 배양후 13일정도에서 기부 절단면으로부터 부정아가 효과적으로 유도되었다. 2. RNA와 단백질의 함량은 단부가 기부보다 높았으며 기부가 4일에서 10일까지의 상대적이 수치에서는 단부보다 높았다. 3. RNA와 단백질의 함량은 식물호르몬의 조성이 NAA,$0.01mg/\ell$;BA,$0.2mg/\ell$일 때 배양후 7일정도에서 가장 높았다. 4. 표준 WPM에 조직 절편을 배양하였을 때 기부에서 배양시기가 경과함에 따라 특이한 단백질이 형성 되었다.

Hybrid cluster protein (HCP) was investigated because of its unique iron-sulfur clusters, which have been found in bacteria and archaea. Here, HCP homologous proteins from the third domain, 'eukarya'(3 amitochondriate protozoans, Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolytica, and Trichomonas vaginalis), were identified. All three amitochondriate protozoan HCPs (GlHCP, EhHCP, and TvHCP) belonged to Class I on the basis of two key characters, the cysteine spacing, Cys-(Xaa)₂Cys(Xaa)/sub 7-8/-Cys(Xaa)/sub 5/-Cys, and the absence of N-terminal deletion characteristic to the Class III. In phylogenetic analysis performed with amino acid sequences of 3 eukaryal, 5 bacterial, and 4 archaeal HCPs, the maximum likelihood (ML) tree indicated that TvHCP was clustered with Class I HCPs, whereas the other two HCPs (GlHCP and EhHCP) formed an independent clade with a high bootstrapping value (96%) not belonging to any previously recognized HCP class. In spite of the relatively lower bootstrapping value (61%), the position of the new eukaryal GlHCP-EhHCP clade was close to Class I, including the TvHCP, and Classes II and III were closely related with each other. The finding of eukaryal HCPs would help to understand the evolutionary history of HCP.

The CD4 and CDS coreceptors, in conjunction with the T cell receptor (TCR) , make important contributions to the differentiation of thymocytes. They have been shown to be involved in the clonal deletion and positive selection processes during T cell development in thymus. To further analyze the role of CD4 and CDS proteins during T cell differentiation, we have generated transgenic mice constitutively expressing high levels of a native CD4 and a CD4{CDSa hybrid protein. The hybrid protein is composed of CD4 extracellular domain linked to the CD8a transmembrane region and cytoplasmic tail. The transgenes were driven by human beta-actin promoter, and therefore, they were expressed in all tissues examined including thymus, spleen, and lymph nodes. The resulting CD4 and CD4{CD8${\alpha}$transgenic mice were found to express the CD4 and CD4{CD8${\alpha}$ respectively, in developing thymocytes and peripheral T cells. The expression levels of transgenic proteins were 5-10 times higher than that of endogenous CD4 in thymus. However, total surface CD4 expression (CD4 or CD4{CD8${\alpha}$ transgenic protein plus endogenous CD4) of the transgenic mice were main. tained at similar levels compared to control littermates. Surface CD4 expression on CDS T cells, however, was significantly lower than that on cells expressing endogenous CD4. These results suggest that a total avidity between developing thymocytes and thymic stromal cells is impor. tant for differentiation of thymocytes.
