  • Nocardioides sp. J-326TK의 adenosine deaminase gene을 분리하기 위하여 genomic DNA를 제한효소로 무작위적으로 절단하여 pBluscript KS에 ligation시켰다. 또한 hu-man과 mouse, E. cali 등의 adenosine deaminase gene의 보존적인 부위를 primer로 합성을 하여 PCR reaction을 행하였다. Genomic DNA를 cloning시킨 pKSN60은 5kb정도의 DNA를 포함하고 있으며 sourthern hybridization 등의 여러 확인 실험을 통하여 adenosine deaminase gene을 포함하고 있다는 알았다. PCR product를 cloning시켜 형성된 recombinant plasmid를 PCR reaction의 primer로서 pTBN20를 sequencing을 행하였다. 그 결과를 다른 ade-nosine deaminase gene의 서열과 비교를 하였는데 미생물인 E. coli와는 nucleotide sequence는 99.5%, amino acid sequence는 98.9%의 homology를 나타내고 human과는 각각 59.5%, 46.8%의 homolosy를 나타내었다.

  • A cDNA clone for a salicylic acid-induced gene in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa subsp. pekinensis) was isolated and characterized. The cabbage gene encoding a protein of 392 amino acids contained a tandem array of two thiJ-like sequences. ThiJ is a thiamin biosynthesis enzyme that catalyzes the phosphorylation of hydroxymethylpyrimidine (HMP) to HMP monophosphate. Although the cabbage gene shows a similarity to bacterial thiJ genes, it also shares a similarity with the human DJ-1, a multifunctional protein that is involved in transcription regulation, male fertility, and parkinsonism. The cabbage thiJ-like gene is strongly induced by salicylic acid and a nonhost pathogen, Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato, which elicits a hypersensitive response in Chinese cabbage. Treatment of the cabbage leaves with BTH, methyl jasmonate, or ethephon showed that the cabbage thiJ-like gene expression is also strongly induced by BTH, but not by methyl jasmonate or ethylene. This indicates that the cabbage gene is activated via a salicylic acid-dependent signaling pathway. Examination of the tissue-specific expression revealed that the induction of the cabbage gene expression by BTH occurs in the leaf, stem, and floral tissues but not in the root.

  • The avian uncoupling protein (avUCP) is a member of the mitochondrial transporter superfamily that uncouples proton entry in the mitochondrial matrix from ATP synthesis. The sequencing analysis method was used to identify nucleotide polymorphisms within the avUCP gene in Korean native chicken (KNC). This study identified ten single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the avUCP gene. We analyzed the SNPs of the avUCP gene to investigate whether polymorphism in the gene might be responsible for quantitative variations in economic traits in KNC. Three significant polymorphic sites for economic traits were avUCP C+282T (mean body weight, p<0.05), avUCP C+433T (daily percent lay, p<0.05), and avUCP T+1316C (daily percent lay, p<0.05). The frequency of each SNP was 0.125 (C+282T in avUCP gene exon 1 region), 0.150 (C+433T in avUCP gene intron 1 region), and 0.15 (T+1316C in avUCP gene exon 3 region), respectively. Among the identified SNPs, one pair of SNPs (genotype CC, C+282T and TT, avUCP C+433T) showed the highest daily percent lay (p<0.05) and mean body weight (p<0.05) and the frequency was 0.067. This study of the avUCP gene could be useful for genetic studies of this gene and selection on economic traits for KNC.
