The coat protein gene of Korean isolate of Ricer stripe virus (RSV-Kr) was cloned and its nucleotide sequence was determined. Total RNA was extracted from infected leaves and RSV viral RNA was detected by using RT-PCR with specific primer of coat protein gene. The result of RT-PCR showed a specific band. Purified RT-PCR products of coat protein gene were ligated into the pGEM-T Easy plasmid vector and cloned cDNA was obtained for nucleotide sequence determination. Coat protein gene of RSV-Kr consisted of 969 bp long encoding a protein of 322 amino acids. RSV-Kr showed 94%-99% sequence identities to that of Japanese- and Chinese isolates.

The nucleotide sequence of a Korea isolate of broad bean wilt favavirus from Rehmannia glutinosa Lib., designated BBWV-RE, was determined. Direct amino acid sequencing of the virus coat proteins suggests that a comparison of several favaviruses in terms of nucleotide sequence and amino acid sequences showed that BBWV-2 isolates display high sequence identity. The small coat protein genes of RNA-2 were also determined for three other Japanese isolates(E, L, and 1-2) and two ATCC isolates(PV132 and PV176) of BBWV. the CP sequence suggested distinct evolution lineages. Serotype 2 favaviruses are more prevalent in Asia, Australia and North America, Wheres serotype 1 is more prevalent in europe.(중략)

Molecular cloning and nucleotide sequencing were undertaken for the RNA genome of gp53 antigenic region in cytopathic Singer strain of bovine viral diarrhea virus. The cloned cDNA was 939 nucleotides in length having a base composition of 31.0% A, 19.6% C, 25.5% G and 24.0% T. The sequence was corresponded to approximately 77.8%(817 bases) of predicted gp53 region and 122 bases after 3'end of gp53 region in the Singer strain when compared with NADL strain of known sequence. A single open reading frame was found in the sequence of 2nd frame and was deduced as encoding 312 amino acids.

An intracellular levansucrase gene, lscR from Rahnella aquatilis ATCC 15552, was cloned and its nucleotide sequence was determined. Nucleotide sequence analysis of this gene revealed a 1,238 bp open reading frame coding for a protein of 415 amino acids. The levansucrase was expressed by using a T7 promoter in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) and the enzyme activity was detected in the cytoplasmic fraction. The optimum pH and temperature of this enzyme for levan formation was pH 6 and $30^{\circ}C$, respectively. The deduced amino acid sequence of the lscR gene showed a high sequence similarity (59-89%) with Gram-negative levansucrses, while the level of similarity with Gram-positive enzymes was less than 42%. Multiple alignments of levansucrase sequences reported from Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria revealed seven conserved regions. A comparison of the catalytic properties and deduced amino acid sequence of lscR with those of other bacterial levansucrases strongly suggest that Gram-negative and Gram-positive levansucrases have an overall different structure, but they have a similar structure at the active site.

능이버섯의 16S ribosomal DNA일부분, IT1, 5.85 ribosomal DNA, ITS2의 전부분, 28S ribosomal DNA 일부분이 포함된 ITS영역의 염기서열을 분석하였다. 이 부분은 716개의 염기쌍으로 구성되었다. 이를 Sarcadon속에 속하는 종들과 비교분석한 결과 같은 능이버섯의 ITS에 관한 다른 분석결과 염기치환 및 결실을 근거로 하였을 경우 $1.8\%$의 차이를 나타내었다. 또한 S. imbricatus와는 $1.8\%$, S. sequamous와는 $10\%$차이를 나타내었다. 이는 능이버섯이 숙주, 서식지 환경 등의 특수성 때문에 자연상태에서 유전자교류가 일어나지 않기 때문인 것으로 생각된다.

The complete nucleotide sequence of the Bacillus circulans F-2 RSDA gene, coding for raw starch digesting a-amylase (RSDA), has been determined. The RSDA structure gene consists of an open reading frame of 2508 bp. Six bp upstream of the translational start codon of the RSDA is a typical gram-positive Shine-Dalgarno sequence and the RSDA encodes a preprotein of 836 amino acids with an Mr of 96, 727. The gene was expressed from its own regulatory region in E. coli and two putative consensus promoter sequences were identified upstream of a ribosome binding site and an ATG start codon. Confirmation of the nucleotide sequence was obtained and the signal peptide cleavage site was identified by comparing the predicted amino acid sequence with that derived by N-terminal analysis of the purified RSDA. The deduced N-terminal region of the RSDA conforms to the general pattern for the signal peptides of secreted prokaryotic proteins. The complete amino acid sequence was deduced and homology with other enzymes was compared. The results suggested that the Thr-Ser-rich hinge region and the non-catalytic domain are necessary for efficient adsorption onto raw substrates, and the catalytic domain (60 kDa) is necessary for the hydrolysis of substrates, as suggested in previous studies (8, 9).

The gene encoding F protein of CBP-1 strain, a heat-stable Newcastle disease virus (NDV) isolated from the diseased pheasants in Korea, was characterized by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), nucleotide and amino acid sequences. Virus RNA was prepared from the chorioallatoic fluid infected with NDV CBP-1 virus and cDNA was amplified by RT-PCR, cloned and sequenced to analyze. The PCR was sensitive as to detect the virus titer above $2^5$ hemagglutination unit. 1.7kb (1,707bp) size of the cDNA was amplified and cloned into BamHI site of pVL1393 Baculo transfer vector. The nucleotide sequences for F protein were determined by dye terminator cyclic sequencing using four pairs of primers, and 553 amino acid sequences were predicted. In comparison of the nucleotide sequence of F gene of CBP-1 with those of other NDV strains, the homology revealed 88.8%, 98.5% and 98.7% with Kyojungwon (KJW), Texas GB and Beaudette C strains, respectively. As the deduced 553 amino acid sequences of F protein of CBP-1 were compared with those of other NDV strains, the homology appeared 89.9%, 98.7% and 98.9% with KJW, Texas GB and Beaudette C strains, respectively. The putative protease cleavage site (112-116) was R-R-Q-K-R, indicating that CBP-1 strain is velogenic type. The amino acid sequences include 6 sites of N-asparagine-linked glycosylation and 13 cysteine residues. These data indicate that the genotype of CBP-1 strain is more closely associated with the strains of Texas GB and Beaudette C than KJW strain.

Inter- and intraspecific genetic relationships between Rana amurensis from Korea and Russia and other brown frogs were investigated by nucleotide sequence of a 504 base pair (bp) fragment of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene. Nucleotide sequence similarities among Korean populations of R. amurensis ranged from 99.6% to 97.6% and 98.8% within Russian populations. The nucleotide sequence similarity between Korean and Russian R. amurensis ranged from 86.9% to 85.5%. Based on Kimura-2-parameter distance, the sequence divergence between R. amurensis from Korea and Russia was 16.18% and 18.04% among other related brown frogs. interspecific sequence divergences among R. amurensis and other related brown frogs diverged by 20.3%. Using an estimate of 2-4% mitochondrial DNA sequence divergence per million years, Korean and Russian R. amurensis diverged about 8 to 4 million years ago (Mya) and other brown frogs diverged about 9 to 5 Mya from ancestral frogs and distributed from North Asia to Sakhalin in a short time. In the neighbor-joining and UPGMA tree R. amurensis was clustered into two groups with Korean and Russian populations and the other brown frogs were grouped separately with diverged trichotomous clusters (R. dybowskii and R. pirica, R. okinavana and R. tsushimensis, and R. japonica and R. longicrus).

The Sweet potato chlorotic fleck virus (SPCFV), of the genus Carlavirus (family Betaflexiviridae), was first detected as one of several viruses infecting sweet potatoes (Ipomea batatas L.) in Korea. Out of 154 sweet potato samples collected in 2012 that were showing virus-like symptoms, 47 (31%) were infected with SPCFV, along with other viruses. The complete genome sequences of four SPCFV isolates were determined and analyzed using previously reported genome sequences. The complete genomes were found to contain 9,104-9,108 nucleotides, excluding the poly-A tail, containing six putative open reading frames (ORFs). Further, the SPCFV Korean isolates were divided into two groups (Group I and Group II) by phylogenetic analysis based on the complete nucleotide sequences; Group I and Group II had low nucleotide sequence identities of about 73%. For the first time, we determined the complete genome sequence for the Group II SPCFV isolates. The amino acid sequence identity in coat proteins (CP) between the two groups was over 90%, whereas the amino acid sequence identity in other proteins was less than 80%. In addition, SPCFV Korean isolates had a low amino acid sequence identity (61% CPs and 47% in the nucleotide-binding protein [NaBp] region) to that of Melon yellowing-associated virus (MYaV), a typical Carlavirus.
