The ambrosia beetle, Platypus koryoensis, is an economically important pest affecting oak trees in Korea. Candida kashinagacola was isolated from galleries of the beetle in oak wood and identified by analyses of morphology, physiological properties, and nucleotide sequence of the large subunit ribosomal DNA. This is the first report on Candida species associated with oak wilt disease vectored by the ambrosia beetle, Platypus koryoensis, in Korea.

We analyzed the nuclear-encoded large subunit ribosomal RNA gene (LSU rDNA) sequences of 19 dinoflagellates occurring in costal waters off Korea and reconstructed a phylogenetic tree containing 74 representative species from 37 distinct genera. Of these, the LSU rDNA sequences of Amylax triacantha (Jörgensen) Sournia, Gonyaulax verior Sournia (= Amylax diacantha Meunier), Gyrodinium fissum (Levander) Kofoid et Swezy, Katodinium glaucum (Lebour) Lebour III, Noctiluca scintillans (Macartney) Kofoid et Swezy, Oxyphysis oxytoxoides Kofoid, and Pyrophacus steinii (Schiller) Wall et Dale are reported for the first time. Our LSU rDNA tree consistently placed Oxyrrhis marina Dujardin and N. scintillans at the most primitive positions, giving rise to a strongly supported monophyletic group of typical dinoflagellate species belonging to the Dinophyceae. The phylogenetic relationships among the typical dinoflagellates, however, were not resolved in the higher taxonomic levels in general. Only genera at terminal branches were usually supported with high confidence. The Dinophysiales, represented by Dinophysis species and O. oxytoxoides, formed a strongly supported monophyletic assemblage. The Gymnodiniales and Peridiniales were recovered as polyphyletic groupings. Members of the Gonyaulacales were consistently grouped together, but lacked statistical support. Within this order, the Ceratiaceae and Goniodomataceae each formed a monophyletic group, but the Gonyaulacaceae was polyphyletic. The phylogenetic relationships of the Gonyaulacaceae were generally congruent with differences in the combinations of the apical pore complex, hypothecal organization and thecal formula.

A portion (7.4 kb) of ribosomal DNA tandem repeat unit from a genome of the mushroom T. matsutake has been cloned. A 1.75 kb EcoRI fragment was cloned first using S. cerevisiae 255 rRNA gene as a probe, and this was then used for further cloning. A chromosomal walking experiment was carried out and the upstream region of the 1.75 kb fragment was cloned using SmaI/BamHI enzyme, the size was estimated to be 5.2 kb in length. Part of the downstream region of the 1.75 kb fragment was also cloned using XbaI/BamHI enzymes. Restriction enzyme maps of three cloned DNA fragments were constructed. Northern hybridization, using total RNA of T. matsutake, and the restriction fragments of three cloned DNAs as probes, revealed that all four ribosomal RNA genes (large subunit[LSU], small subunit [SSU], 5.85 and 5S rRNA genes) are present in the cloned region. The gene organization of the rDNA are regarded as an intergenic spacer [IGS]2 (partial) - SSU rRNA - internal transcribed spacer [ITS]1 - 5.8S rRNA - ITS2 - LSU rRNA - IGS1 -5S rRNA - IG52 (partial).

A cDNA clone coding for ribosomal protein 46 (rp46) which is a component of 60S ribosomal large subunit has been identified from Drosophila melanogaster. A cDNA clone encoding S. cerevisiae rp46 was used as a probe to screen a Drosophila larvae cDNA library. The DNA sequence analysis revealed that the cDNA coding for Drosophils rp46 contains a complete reading frame of 153 nucleotides coding for 51 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence showed 71-75% homology with those of other eukaryotic organisms. Northern blot analysis showed that about 1-kb rp46 transcripts are abundant throughout fly development. Whole mount embryonic mRNA in situ hybridization also showed no preferential distribution of the transcripts to any specific region. The chromosomal in situ hybridization revealed that the identified gene is localized at position 60C on the right arm of the second polytene chromosome with a possibility of single copy.

본 연구에서는 H. marmoreus 3-10균주와 H. marmoreus 1-1균주의 ribosomal DNA (rDNA) cluster의 분석이 수행되었다. Small subunit (SSU)와 intergenic spacer 2 (IGS 2)는 부분적으로 염기서열이 결정되었고, internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS 1), 5.8S, internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS 2), large subunit (LSU), intergenic spacer 1 (IGS 1), 5S는 완전하게 염기서열이 결정 되었다. 팽이버섯 H. marmoreus 3-10균주와 H. marmoreus 1-1균주의 rDNA cluster는 총 7,049 bp로 결정되었다. SSU은 1,796 bp, ITS1은 229 bp, 5.8S은 153 bp, ITS2는 223 bp, LSU은 3,348 bp, IGS1은 390 bp, IGS2은 900 bp로 염기서열이 분석되었다. 결정된 rDNA cluster의 총 7,049 bp 중에서 17 bp가 다름이 확인되었고, 각각 SSU (2 bp), ITS (3 bp), LSU (9 bp), IGS (3 bp)에서 차이를 확인하였다. ITS regions의 2차 구조 결과 5개의 stem-loop가 있음이 드러났다. 흥미롭게도, 이들 stem-loop 사이에서 stem-loop V에서 한 개의 상이한 염기가 다른 2차 구조를 나타냄을 확인하였다.

In July 2023, previously unrecorded fungi belonging to the genus Helvella were collected from the city of Taebaek, South Korea. These fungi are morphologically similar to Helvella crispa, but their differences include a wide, saddle-shaped apothecium and white hair on the receptacle surface. By analyzing DNA sequences combining the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and nuclear ribosomal large subunit (nrLSU) regions and comparing them with various related species of Helvella, the collected fungi were identified as H. orienticrispa.

Red algal mitochondrial genomes (mtDNAs) can provide useful information on species identification. mtDNAs of Pyropia / Porphyra (Bangiales, Rhodophyta) have shown diverse variation in their size and gene structure. In particular, the introns and intronic open reading frames found in the ribosomal RNA large subunit gene (rnl) and cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene (cox1) significantly vary the mitochondrial genome size in Pyropia / Porphyra species. In this study, we examined the exon / intron structure of rnl and cox1 genes of Pyropia yezoensis at the intraspecific level. The combined data of rnl and cox1 genes exhibited 12 genotypes for 40 P. yezoensis strains, based on the existence of introns. These genotypes were more effective to identify P. yezoensis strains in comparison to the traditional DNA barcode cox1 marker (5 haplotypes). Therefore, the variation in gene structure of rnl and cox1 can be a novel molecular marker to discriminate the strains of Pyropia species.

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein E1(hnRNP E1) is one of the primary pre-mRNA binding proteins in human cells. It consists of 356 amino acid residues and harbors three hnRNP K homology(KH) domains that mediate RNA-binding. The hnRNP E1 protein was shown to play important roles in mRNA stabilization and translational control. In order to enhance our understanding of the cellular functions of hnRNP E1, we searched for interacting proteins through a yeast two-hybrid screening while using HeLa cDNA library as target. One of the cDNA clones was found to be human ribosomal protein L18a cDNA(GenBank accession number BC071920). We demonstrated in this study that human ribosomal protein L18a, a constituent of ribosomal protein large subunit, interacts specifically with hnRNP E1 in the yeast two-hybrid system. Such an interaction was observed for the first time in this study, and was also verified by biochemical assay.

In this study, we isolated several fungal strains from filtered water and sediment collected from rivers and streams. The strains were identified by molecular phylogenetic analyses of rDNA sequences (internal transcribed spacer [ITS], large subunit of ribosomal DNA [LSU]). The morphological characteristics of the fungi were investigated using microscopy, and the culture characteristics of fungi grown on several media were examined. We identified four species previously unknown in South Korea, namely, Dissophora globulifera, Linnemannia exigua, Mortierella rishikesha and Umbelopsis autotrophica.
