Objectives : The origin of Breeae Herba (So-gye) and Cirsii Herba (Dae-gye) is differently prescribed in Korean and Chinese modern pharmacopoeia. Since the similar morphological characteristics and chaotic plant names, moreover, the aerial part of Carduus crispus have been used as the Cirsii Herba. To develop a reliable method for correct identification of these herbal medicines and to evaluate the genetic relationship of these closely related plant species, we analyzed sequences of DNA barcode regions. Methods : Thirty-one samples of 6 medicinal plants (B. segeta, B. setosa, C. japonicum var. maackii, C. setidens, C. chanroenicum, and C. crispus) were collected from different habitate and nucleotide sequences of DNA barcode regions (rDNA-ITS, matK, and rbcL) were analyzed after amplification using appropriate primers reported in previous studies. The nucleotides of species-specific authentic marker and phylogenetic relations were estimated based on the entire sequences of DNA barcodes by the analysis of ClastalW and UPGMA, respectively. Results : In comparative analysis of DNA barcode sequences, we obtained specific nucleotides to discriminate the medicinal plant of Breeae/Cirsii Herba in species level and evaluated the phylogenetic relationship of these species. Futhermore, we identified distinct marker nucleotides enough to authenticate respective species. These sequence differences at corresponding positions were avaliable genetic markers to determine the botanical origins of Breeae Herbal as well as Cirsii Herba. Conclusions : These marker nucleotides would be useful to identify the official herbal medicines by providing of definitive information that can identify each plant species and distinguish from unauthentic adulterants and substitutes.

cDNAs complementary to the 3'-terminal regions of two potyvirus genomes were cloned and sequenced. The clone G7 contains one open reading frame (ORF) of 1,338 nucleotides and a 3' untranslated region (3'-UTR) of 403 nucleotides at the 3'-end excluding the 3'end poly(A) tail. The putative viral coat protein (CP) shows 55%-92% amino acid sequence homology to those of Allium potyviruses. The genome size of the virus was analyzed to be about 9.0 kb by Northern blot analysis. Five cDNA clones were screened out using GPV2 oligonucleotide as a probe. One of these clones, DEA72, which has a longest cDNA insert, contains one ORF of 1,459 nucleotides and a 3'-UTR of 590 nucleotides at the 3'-end excluding the 3'-end poly(A) tail. The putative viral CP shows 57%-88% amino acid sequence homologies to those of Allium potyviruses. The genome size of the virus was analyzed to be about 9.6 kb by Northern blot analysis. The results of immunoblot and Northern blot analyses suggest that almost all of the tested garlic plants showing mosaic or streak symptoms are infected with DEA72-potyvirus in variable degrees but rarely infected with G7-potyvirus in variable degrees but rarely infected with DEA72-potyvirus in variable degrees but rarely infected with G7-potyvirus. Immunoelectron microscopy using anti-DEA72 CP antibody shows that this potyvirus is about 750 nm long and flexuous rod shaped.

마른 멸치 제조에 있어서 산가용성핵산관련물질의 변화와 또 제조에 따른 변화의 차이를 알기 위하여 생체시료, 자건시료 및 소건시료로 나누어 분석 검토하였다. 1. ATP는 자건 및 소건시료에 있어서는 거의 소실되었고, 어획직후에 채취한 생체시료에 있어서도 대부분 분해되어 함량은 대단히 적었다($1.8{\mu}moles/g$, dry basis). 2. ADP는 ATP와 AMP가 거의 소실된 후에 도 상당량이 장기 잔존하였는데, 이것은 myofbril과 결합한 bound nucleotide인 것으로 추정된다. 3. AMP는 전반적으로 미량 검출되는데 지나지 않았으나 자건시료가 타시료에 비하여 비교적 함량이 높았다. 4. IMP는 자건시료에 있어서 그 축적성이 현저하게 인정되었으나 소건시료에 있어서는 거의 분해되어 자건시료의 1/16의 함량에 지나지 않았다. 5. $H_xR$과 $H_x$는 소건시료에 있어서의 함량이 월등히 많아 생체시료의 3.5배, 자건시료의 2.7배였고, $H_xR$과 $H_x$의 함량비에 있어서는 생체시료와 자건시료는 $H_x$ 축적형이였는데 비하여 소건시료는 반대로 $H_xR$ 축적형을 나타내었다. 6. 생체시료를 기준으로 건조후의 nucleotides의 잔존율은 자건시료는 $83\%$이고 그 중의 IMP의 비율이 $73\%$인데 비하여 소건시료는 잔존율이 겨우 $10\%$에 불과하였으며, 이 중의 IMP비율은 $38\%$에 지나지 않았다. 즉, 자건시료에 있어서는 ATP를 제외한 nucleotides, nucleose 및 base가 비교적 고르게 잔존하는 데 비하여 소건 시료에 있어서는 nucleotides는 거의 소실되고 대부분이 nucleoside와 base의 형태로 잔존하였다. 7, 마른 멸치의 flavor quality를 IMP 함량만으로 판단한다면 자건법은 소건법에 비하여 보다 효과적인 제조법이라고 할 수 있다.

This study was conducted to develop a standardized Korean cold noodle stock recipe which can be used in food service establishments. The qualities of three kinds of stock made of beef rib only(B group), beef rib added with chicken(BC group), and beef rib added with chicken and vegetable(BCV group) were investigated by using sensory evaluation and instrumental analyses for free amino acids and nucleotides during heating (2, 3, 4, and 6 hr) at 90$\pm$ 5$\^{C}$ The highest amino acid contained in B, BCV, and BCV groups was arginine followed by alanine, glycine, and glutamic acid. B and BC groups was extracted to the best contents of amino acids by heating for 4 hours but BCV group for 3 hours. Nucleotides were extracted from B and BC group between 3 and 4 hours of heating but in BCV group between 2 and 3 hours. In sensory evaluation, BCV group obtained the highest score for overall preference. In the measurement of color difference, BCV group was the lowest in L value(lightness) but the highest in b value(yellowness).

We cultured the rabbit inner medullary collecting duct (IMCD) cells as monolayers on collagen-coated membrane filters, and investigated distribution of the P2Y receptors by analyzing nucleotide-induced short circuit current $(I_{sc})$ responses. Exposure to different nucleotides of either the apical or basolateral surface of cell monolayers stimulated $I_{sc}.$ Dose-response relationship and cross-desensitization studies suggested that at least 3 distinct P2Y receptors are expressed asymmetrically on the apical and basolateral membranes. A $P2Y_2-like$ receptor, which responds to UTP and ATP, is expressed on both the apical and basolateral membranes. In addition, a uracil nucleotide receptor, which responds to UDP and UTP, but not ATP, is expressed predominantly on the apical membrane. In contrast, a $P2Y_1-like$ receptor, which responds to ADP and 2-methylthio-ATP, is expressed predominantly on the basolateral membrane. These nucleotides stimulated intracellular cAMP production with an asymmetrical profile, which was comparable to that in the stimulation of $I_{sc}.$ Our results suggest that the adenine and uracil nucleotides can interact with different P2Y nucleotide receptors that are expressed asymmetrically on the apical and basolateral membranes of the rabbit IMCD cells, and that both cAMP- and $Ca^{2+}-dependent$ signaling mechanisms underlie the stimulation of $I_{sc}$.

A hypothetical 21.0 kDa protein (ORF O197) from Escherichia coli K-12 was cloned, purified, and characterized. The protein sequence of ORF O197(termed EcO197) shares a 33.5% identity with that of a novel NTPase from Methanococcus jannaschii. The EcO197 protein was purified using Ni-NTA affinity chromatography, protease digestion, and gel filtration column. It hydrolyzed nucleoside triphosphates with an O6 atom-containing purine base to nucleoside monophosphate and pyrophosphate. The EcO197 protein had a strong preference for deoxyinosine triphosphate (dITP) and xanthosine triphosphate (XTP), while it had little activity in the standard nucleoside triphosphates (dATP, dCTP, dGTP, and dTTP). These aberrant nucleotides can be produced by oxidative deamination from purine nucleotides in cells; they are potentially mutagenic. The mutation protection mechanisms are caused by the incorporation into DNA of unwelcome nucleotides that are formed spontaneously. The EcO197 protein may function to eliminate specifically damaged purine nucleotide that contains the 6-keto group. This protein appears to be the first eubacterial dITP-and XTP-hydrolyzing enzyme that has been identified.

To elucidate the regulatory mechanism of virE operon from vir regions (virA, virB, virC, virD, virG, virE) of pTiA6 which have been known to be essential for efficient crown gall tumorigenesis in plants, the activity of the truncated virE, promoter was analyzed. pSM358cd, a recombinant plasmid in which virE :: Tn3-HoHo1 (Tn3-promoterless lacZ) was cloned into SalI site of pVK102, was digested with SalI, and virE :: Tn3-HoHo1 was seperated from pVK102. To construct the truncted virE recombinant plasmids (pJS031, pJS051, pJS102, pJS201, pJS301), 5'-end of vireE promoter was deleted with BAL31 and cloned into pVK102 and then transferred into a. tumefaciens A348(pTiA6). According to the activity of the truncated virE promoter in recombinant plasmids, they were classified into two groups, pJS031, pJS051, pJS101 and pJS201 belong to a functional group and pJS301 is a non-functional. The size of deleted nucleotides of pJS201 and pJS301 seemed to be about 130 nucleotides and about 250 nucleotides from 5'-end of virE promoter, respectively. Hence it was thought that the essential site of the virE promoter was located between about 130th nucleotide and 250th nucleotide from 5'-end of the virE promoter.

A ribonucleic acid (RNA) is one of the two types of nucleic acids found in living organisms. An RNA molecule represents a long chain of monomers called nucleotides. The sequence of nucleotides of an RNA molecule constitutes its primary structure, and the pattern of pairing between nucleotides determines the secondary structure of an RNA. Non-coding RNA genes produce transcripts that exert their function without ever producing proteins. Predicting the secondary structure of non-coding RNAs is very important for understanding their functions. We focus on Nussinov's algorithm as useful techniques for predicting RNA secondary structures. We introduce a new traceback matrix and scoring table to improve above algorithm. And the improved prediction algorithm provides better levels of performance than the originals.
