The sirtuins are a protein family named after the first identified member, S. cerevisiae Sir2p. Sirtuins are protein deacetylases whose activity is dependent on $NAD^+$ as a cosubstrate. They are structurally defined by two central domains that together form a highly conserved catalytic center, which catalyzes the transfer of an acetyl moiety from acetyllysine to $NAD^+$, yielding nicotinamide, the unique metabolite O-acetyl-ADP-ribose and deacetylated lysine. One or more sirtuins are present in virtually all species from bacteria to mammals. Here we describe a phylogenetic analysis of sirtuins. Based on their phylogenetic relationship, sirtuins can be grouped into over a dozen classes and subclasses. Humans, like most vertebrates, have seven sirtuins: SIRT1-SIRT7. These function in diverse cellular pathways, regulating transcriptional repression, aging, metabolism, DNA damage responses and apoptosis. We show that these seven sirtuins arose early during animal evolution. Conserved residues cluster around the catalytic center of known sirtuin family members.

Several species of Gyromitra are highly poisonous when consumed raw the presence of gyromitrin. In this study, Gyromitra specimens deposited in the Korea National Arboretum were re-examined and subjected to molecular sequence analysis. G. gigas, G. aff. perlata, and G. tianshanensis were identified based on their morphological features and molecular phylogenetic analysis for the first time in Korea. Furthermore, internal transcribed spacer and 28S rRNA sequences of G. esculenta and G. infula were analyzed to confirm their phylogeny.

During the screening of Korean microflora, a fungal strain (KNU-PT-1804) belonging to the genus Pestalotiopsis was isolated from persimmon tree (Diospyros kaki) bark collected from North Gyeongsang Province, Korea. The strain, KNU-PT-1804, produced smaller conidia compared with related species P. kenyana, P. neglecta, and P. telopeae. The novelty of the strain was confirmed based on phylogenetic analysis using molecular datasets of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions, β-tubulin (TUB2), and translation elongation factor 1-alpha (TEF1α) genes. Molecular phylogeny strongly supports that the strain is distinct from previously known Pestalotiopsis species, and we proposed the novel species, Pestalotiopsis kaki sp. nov., and provide a detailed description and illustration.

노루오줌속(Astilbe)은 동아시아와 북미 동부에 격리되어 분포하는 양상을 보이는 속으로 잘 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 노루오줌속 및 근연 속을 대표하는 17종의 핵 리보솜 DNA의 ITS 염기서열에 기초한 계통수를 제작하여 노루오줌속의 분류, 형질 진화 및 계통지리에 대하여 고찰하였다. 베이스 추론법 등을 통해 계통수를 제작한 결과 Saxifragopsis가 노루오줌속의 자매군임이 확인되었고, 단성화, 무화피화, 7~11개로 갈라지는 꽃받침 등의 형질상태를 지니는 것으로 알려진 일본 고유종, A. platyphylla는 노루오줌속 계통수의 기부에서 가장 먼저 분리되었다. 북미에 격리 분포하는 분류군인 A. biternata 및 중국과 동남아시아에 분포하는 A. rivularis는 노루오줌속의 진화 초기에 갈라진 것으로 밝혀졌다. 한편, 화피가 있는 나머지 종들은 하나의 핵심군으로 확고하게 무리를 지었다. 핵심군 내에서는 일본, 대만, 필리핀 등지에 분포하는 종들("Japonica" clade) 이 단계통군을 이루었고, 중국 및 한국에 분포하는 종인 A. rubra var. rubra(노루오줌)과 A. koreana(숙은노루오줌), 즉 "Rubra" clade는 이들과 명확히 구분되는 진화 계열로 나타났다. A. biternata의 기원과 격리분포는 베링육교(Bering land bridges)를 통해 이루어진 것으로 추정되었다. 대만에 분포하는 2종과 A. philippinensis는 일본에 분포하는 분류군이 남하하면서 갈라져 나온 것으로 해석되었다. 노루오줌속 내에서 무화피화는 원시적 형질상태였으며, 이 형질상태는 적어도 두 개의 진화 계열에서 각각 독립적으로 기원하였을 것으로 추정되었다. 본 연구결과는 노루오줌속을 분류함에 있어서 잎의 유형(단엽/복엽)을 중요시했던 Engler의 분류 체계를 지지하지 않았으며, 꽃받침의 형태를 일차적으로 고려했던 Hara의 분류 견해를 지지하였다.

The genus Rosenvingea is well known in the tropics. Four species have been reported from Pacific Mexico: R. floridana, R. antillarum, R. intricata and R. sanctae-crucis. We collected a plant (Boca del Cielo, Chiapas) that we identified as Rosenvingea orientalis, a species not previously reported from Pacific Mexico. We were able to characterize the life cycle of this species for the first time in laboratory culture. It reproduced exclusively by plurilocular sporangia (plurangia). The mature plants were up to 6 cm long with cylindrical to compressed fronds (to 2 mm wide) with dichotomous branches in the upper half of the thallus. The medulla was hollow with 2-3 layers of large inflated colourless cells at the periphery. The cortex was comprised of 1 layer of small cells, each with a single chloroplast and pyrenoid. Linear plurangial sori with phaeophycean hairs formed along the mature fronds. Zoospore germlings developed into prostrate filamentous systems, each with a single phaeophycean hair that gave rise to a single erect shoot with multiple hairs arising near the tip. Molecular phylogeny using the psaA gene placed this isolate within the Scytosiphonaceae. It does not confirm the exact identification of R. orientalis, although its placement close to other Rosenvingea sequences was confirmed and morphological evidence supports its placement in R. orientalis. Our culture investigations indicated that it has an asexual life cycle. Further collections are needed to resolve the full generic and specific relationships of Rosenvingea and related taxa, and their reproductive patterns.
