2012년 태안백합시험장 포장에 재배중인 절화 백합에서 이상증상이 발생하였다. 처음 병징은 토양 지제부의 줄기가 물러지고 점차 위쪽으로 진전되면서 결국 잎을 포함한 식물체 전체 적가 빠르게 부패되었다. 병원균의 균사생육 적온은 $25^{\circ}C$이며 PDA상에 왕성하게 생장하였으며, 갈색의 균총과 검은색의 포자낭을 형성하였다. 포자낭경은 초기에 흰색에서 점차 회색으로 되었으며 포자낭을 균사 끝에 형성하였고, 폭은 $6-10{\mu}m$이었다. 포자낭은 처음에 흰색에서 나중에 검은색으로 되었고, 모양은 반구형으로 크기는 $87-116{\mu}m$이었다. 포자낭포자는 담갈색으로 단포이며, 구형 또는 타원형으로 대부분 불규칙하며, 크기는 $4-8{\mu}m$이었다. 이상과 같이 병원균의 균학적 특징, ITS 염기서열 분석, 병원성 검정 결과 본 병해는 Rhizopus oryzae에 의한 백합 무름병으로 명명할 것을 제안한다.

Tissue-specific gene expression is regulated by epigenetic modification involving trans-acting factors. Here, we identified that the human MAGEB16 gene and its mouse homolog, Mageb16, are only expressed in the testis. To investigate the mechanism governing their expression, the promoter methylation status of these genes was examined in different samples. Two CpG islands (CGIs) in the 5' upstream region of MAGEB16 were highly demethylated in human testes, whereas they were methylated in cells without MAGEB16 expression. Similarly, the CGI in Mageb16 was hypomethylated in mouse testes but hypermethylated in other tissues and cells without Mageb16 expression. Additionally, the expression of these genes could be activated by treatment with the demethylation agent 5'-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5'-aza-CdR). Luciferase assays revealed that both gene promoter activities were inhibited by methylation of the CGI regions. Therefore, we propose that the testis-specific expression of MAGEB16 and Mageb16 is regulated by the methylation status of their promoter regions.

B/K protein is a novel protein containing double C2-like domains. We examined the specific signaling pathway that regulates the transcription of B/K in PC12 cells. When the cells were treated with forskolin ($50{\mu}M$), B/K mRNA and protein levels were time-dependently decreased, reaching the lowest level at 3 or 4 hr, and thereafter returning to the control level. Chemicals such as dibutyryl-cAMP, cellpermeable cyclic AMP (cAMP) analogue and CGS21680, adenosine receptor $A_{2A}$ agonist, also repressed the B/K transcription. However, 1,9-dideoxyforskolin did not show inhibitory effect on B/K transcription, suggesting direct involvement of cAMP in the forskolin-induced inhibition of B/K transcription. Effect of forskolin, dibutyryl cAMP and CGS21680 was significantly reduced in PKA-deficient PC12 cell line (PC12-123.7). One cAMP-response element (CRE)-like sequence (B/K CLS) was found in the promoter region of B/K DNA, and electrophoretic mobility shift assay indicated its binding to CREM and CREB. Forskolin significantly suppressed the promoter activity in CHO-K1 cells transfected with the constructs containing B/K CLS, but not with the construct in which B/K CLS was mutated (AC：TG). Taken together, we suggest that the transcription of B/K gene in PC12 cells may be regulated by PKA-dependent mechanism.
