In order to develop the specific genetic marker for Korean native cattle (Hanwoo), randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis of 6 different cattle breeds was attempted by using 38 decamer primers. In comparison of RAPD patterns, two distinctive DNA bands specific for Hanwoo were detected. One was 296 bp of DNA fragment found to be specific only for female Hanwoo when primer GTCCACACGG was employed. In individual analysis of this RAPD marker was observed only in female individuals with the possibility of $85.3\%$. The other was 521 bp of RAPD marker amplified using TCGGCGATAG and AGCCAGCGAA primers, which showed $83.0\%$ of genetic frequency in 85 male and 68 female individuals tested. Nucleotide sequencing of these genetic markers revealed that 296 bp marker has a short micro satellite-like sequence, ACCACCACAC, and a tandem repeat sequence of microsatellite GAAAAATG in the determined sequence. Two distinctive tandem repeats of microsatellite sequences, MC and GAAGA, were also appeared in 521 bp DNA marker. In BLAST search, any gene having high homology with these markers was not found.

본 연구는 mt DNA의 D-loop 영역을 probe로 이용한 Southern blot hybridization 분석 기법을 이용하여 한우에서 mt DNA의 RFLP를 분석하고 RFLP marker가 유생산에 미치는 영향을 분석하여 산유량 관련 DNA marker를 개발하고자 수행하였다. Mt DNA의 D-loop 영역내 404번부터 15061까지 1142 bp 크기의 염기 서열 부위를 특이적인 primer를 이용하여 PCR로 증폭하였다. Mt DNA를 HpaII, BamHI, XbaI, HinfI, EcoRI, HindII 및 RsaI 7종류의 제한효소를 이용하여 각각 절단한 후 DIG로 표지된 D-loop probe를 이용하여 검출한 결과 XbaI, RsaI, BamHI 및 HpaII 4종류의 제한효소에서 각각 RFLP 다형성이 검출되었고 EcoRI, HindIII 및 HinfI 3종류 제한효소는 변이가 존재하지 않았다. 다유 계통과 저유 계통 선발 집단간의 각 제한효소별 RFLP type의 출현빈도를 비교한 결과 BamHI 및 RsaI 제한효소에서 두 집단간의 RFLP type의 출현율에 각각 통계적 유의성(P<.05)이 인정되었다. 다유 및 저유성으로 극단의 육종가 값을 갖는 두 계통의 mt DNA D-loop영역의 염기 서열을 비교 분석한 결과 441번째 염기가 G/C, 469번째 염기는 T/C, 503번째 염기는 C/T, 569번째 염기는 G/A, 614번째 염기는 C/A그리고 644번째 염기는 C/T로 각각 염기가 치환되었고 특히, 다유 계통 개체의 677번째의 A염기가 저유 계통 개체에서는 결실되어 있다는 사실이 확인되었다. 한편, 한우 암소의 유생산에 영향을 미치는 효과를 규명하기 위하여 mt DNA RFLP 형과 송아지 이유시 체중, 생시체중 및 비유량을 측정하여 얻어진 육종가의 성적을 근거로 통계 분석한 결과 XbaI 제한효소의 RFLP type이 산유 능력 육종가와 유의적인 관련성이 확인되었다 (P<05). 즉, RFLP A type을 갖는 축군의 평균 육종가 추정치가 6.233으로 B type을 갖는 축군의 평균 육종가 추정치 0.757보다 월등히 높은 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 산유량과 관련성이 확인된 mt DNA RFLP type은 한우의 산유량 향상을 위한 DNA marker로 이용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

Forskolin (FSK), an adenylyl cyclase activator, has recently been shown to enhance nucleotide excision repair (NER) upon UV exposure. However, our study revealed that this effect was detected in human skin epithelial ARPE19 cells only in growing cells, but not in non-cycling cells. When the cells were grown at low density (70% confluence), FSK was capable of stimulating cAMP responsive element binding (CREB) phosphorylation, a marker for FSK-stimulated PKA activation, and resulted in a significant increase of NER activity compared to control treatment. However, cells grown under 100% confluent conditions showed neither FSK-induced CREB phosphorylation nor the resulting NER enhancement. These findings indicate that cellular growth is critical for FSK-induced NER enhancement and suggest that cellular growth conditions should be considered as a variable while evaluating a reagent's pharmacotherapeutic efficacy.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are widely acknowledged as the marker of choice for many genetic and genomic applications because they show co-dominant inheritance, are highly abundant across genomes and are suitable for high-throughput genotyping. Here we evaluated the applicability of SNP markers developed from Crassostrea gigas and C. virginica expressed sequence tags (ESTs) in closely related Crassostrea and Ostrea species. A total of 213 putative interspecific level SNPs were identified from re-sequencing data in six amplicons, yielding on average of one interspecific level SNP per seven bp. High polymorphism levels were observed and the high success rate of transferability show that genic EST-derived SNP markers provide an efficient method for rapid marker development and SNP discovery in closely related oyster species. The six EST-SNP markers identified here will provide useful molecular tools for addressing questions in molecular ecology and evolution studies including for stock analysis (pedigree monitoring) in related oyster taxa.

Osteocalcin (OC), a marker of bone turnover, displays patterns in relation to physiological and genetic factors. Here, we present an association study in a population of Chinese Holstein cattle (n = 24) with OC serum concentration as a phenotypic trait. We hypothesised that OC status is associated with phylogeny, vitamin D serum level and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was used as an unlinked marker to examine phylogeny and linkage to measured phenotypic traits of vitamin D and OC status. Following an association study with OC serum variability as the trait, genotyping of SNPs (n = 27) in OC-related genes was performed. Candidate SNPs were chosen in genes with an emphasis on the vitamin D and vitamin K pathways. Multivariant factor analysis revealed a correlation between vitamin D serum concentration and a SNP in the gene GC (rs43338565), which encodes a vitamin D-binding protein, as well as between a SNP in NFATc1 (rs42038422) and OC concentration. However, univariate analysis revealed that population structure, vitamin D serum levels and SNPs were not significant determinants of OC status in the studied group.

Thermal stress due to extreme changes in the thermal environment is a critical issue in cattle production. Many previous findings have shown a decrease in feed intake, milk yield, growth rate, and reproductive efficiency of cattle when subjected to thermal stress. Therefore, selecting thermo-tolerant animals is the primary goal of the efficiency of breeding programs to reduce those adverse impacts. The recent advances in molecular genetics have provided significant breeding advantages that allow the identification of molecular markers in both beef and dairy cattle breeding, including marker-assisted selection (MAS) as a tool in selecting superior thermo-tolerant animals. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), which can be detected by DNA sequencing, are desirable DNA markers for MAS due to their abundance in the genome's coding and non-coding regions. Many SNPs in some genes (e.g., HSP70, HSP90, HSF1, EIF2AK4, HSBP1, HSPB8, HSPB7, MYO1A, and ATP1A1) in various breeds of cattle have been analyzed to play key roles in many cellular activities during thermal stress and protecting cells against stress, making them potential candidate genes for molecular markers of thermotolerance. This review highlights the associations of SNPs within these genes with thermotolerance traits (e.g., blood biochemistry and physiological responses) and suggests their potential use as MAS in thermotolerant cattle breeding.

Objective: This study aims to identify the significant regions and candidate genes of growth-related traits (adjusted backfat thickness [ABF], average daily gain [ADG], and days to 90 kg [DAYS90]) in Korean commercial GGP pig (Duroc, Landrace, and Yorkshire) populations. Methods: A genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed using single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers for imputation to Illumina PorcineSNP60. The BayesB method was applied to calculate thresholds for the significance of SNP markers. The identified windows were considered significant if they explained ≥1% genetic variance. Results: A total of 28 window regions were related to genetic growth effects. Bayesian GWAS revealed 28 significant genetic regions including 52 informative SNPs associated with growth traits (ABF, ADG, DAYS90) in Duroc, Landrace, and Yorkshire pigs, with genetic variance ranging from 1.00% to 5.46%. Additionally, 14 candidate genes with previous functional validation were identified for these traits. Conclusion: The identified SNPs within these regions hold potential value for future marker-assisted or genomic selection in pig breeding programs. Consequently, they contribute to an improved understanding of genetic architecture and our ability to genetically enhance pigs. SNPs within the identified regions could prove valuable for future marker-assisted or genomic selection in pig breeding programs.

의성종 마늘의 유묘로부터 상처(wound)에 특이적으로 발현되는 cytochrome P450 유전자군의 하나인 P450-Esg cDNA를 탐색하였다. P450-Esg는 1,419 bp의 open reading frame(ORF)을 가지고 473개의 아미노산을 가진 polypeptide를 코딩하는 것으로 나타났다. 국내와 몽골로부터 수집한 12개의 재배종으로 부터 P450-Esg 유사 유전자의 염기서열을 비교한 결과 시작코돈(ATG)에서 472~510 bp 및 1,210~1,240 bp 부위의 염기에서 재배종간에 차이를 보이는 염기서열을 다수 확인하였다. cDNA 1,210~1,240 bp의 부위는 P450 유전자에서 공통적으로 알려진 heme binding domain으로, 각 지역에서 수집된 재배종은 염기서열뿐만 아니라 아미노산 서열에 있어서도 특이적인 변이를 보였다. cDNA 472~510 bp 부위에서 코딩하는 13개 아미노산의 서열은 12개 재배종에서 모두 동일하였으나, 13개 아미노산 중 7개에서 재배종 마다 각각 다른 DNA 염기로 코딩하는 단일 염기다형성(single nucleotide polymorphism)을 보이는 서열을 확인하였다. 이 결과는 다양하게 존재하는 국내외 마늘 재배종을 구분하는 marker로 사용될 것이며, 외국산 마늘에 대한 유전적 우선권을 확보하는 수단으로 사용될 것이다.
