Phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) is involved in synthesizing extracellular polysaccharide (EPS). The gene encoding PGI in Sphingomonas chungbukensis DJ77 was cloned and expressed in E. coli, and the protein was characterized. The pgi gene from DJ77 is 1,503 nucleotides long with 62% GC content and the deduced amino acid sequence shows strong homology with PGIs from other sources. The molecular masses of PGI subunit and native form were estimated to be 50 kDa and 97 kDa, respectively. Four potentially important residues (H361, R245, E330 and K472) were identified by homology modeling. The mutations, H361A, R245A, E330A, R245K and E330D resulted in decrease in Vmax by hundreds fold, however no significant change in Km was observed. These data suggest that the three residues (H361, R245Aand E330) are likely located in the active site and the size as well as the spatial position of side chains of R245 and E330 are crucial for catalysis.

This experiment was executed to investigate the possibility of the application of taxonomic method through the isoelectric focusing with polyacrylamide gel and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with seeds in the identification of turfgrasses. The sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was used to investigate the pattern of seed proteins which were extracted from 18 cultivars of cool season turfgrass and 4 cultivars of warm season turfgrass. The isoelectric focusing with polyacrylarnide gel was used to investigate the activity of the three isozymes of esterase, peroxidase and phosphoglucose isomerase which were extracted from 18 cultivars of cool season turfgrass and 4 cultivars of warm season turfgrass. The results were summarized as follows. 1. The difference of the patterns of seed proteins was observed with sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The identification of intra-genus was easily detected. 2. The three isozymes of esterase, peroxidase and phosphoglucose isomerase were investigated through isoelectric focusing with polyacrylamide gel. As a result, esterase was most effective among three isozymes in the identification of turfgrass cultivars 3. In the past cultivar identification was primarily based on visual morphological characters, but there was a lot of difficulty. If we should use electrophoresis, we will be able to identifvturfgrass cultivars more effectively.

Aims and Background: Ginsenoside Rh2, which exerts the potent anticancer action both in vitro and in vivo, is one of the most well characterized ginsenosides extracted from ginseng. Although its effects on cancer are significant, the underlying mechanisms remain unknown. In this study, we sought to elucidate possible links between ginsenoside Rh2 and phosphoglucose isomerase/autocrine motility factor (PGI/AMF). Methods: $KG1{\alpha}$, a leukemia cell line highly expressing PGI/AMF was assessed by western blot analysis and reverse transcription- PCR (RT-PCR) assay after transfection of a small interfering (si)-RNA to silence PGI/AMF. The effect of PGI/AMF on proliferation was measured by typan blue assay and antibody array. A cell counting kit (CCK)-8 and flow cytometry (FCM) were adopted to investigate the effects of Rh2 on PGI/AMF. The relationships between PGI/AMF and Rh2 associated with Akt, mTOR, Raptor, Rag were detected by western blot analysis. Results: KG1${\alpha}$ cells expressed PGI/AMF and its down-regulation significantly inhibited proliferation. The antibody array indicated that the probable mechanism was reduced expression of PARP, State1, SAPK/JNK and Erk1/2, while those of PRAS40 and p38 were up-regulated. Silencing of PGI/AMF enhanced the sensibility of $KG1{\alpha}$ to Rh2 by suppressing the expression of mTOR, Raptor and Akt. Conclusion: These results suggested that ginsenoside Rh2 suppressed the proliferation of $KG1{\alpha}$, the same as down-regulation of PGI/AMF. Down-regulation of PGI/AMF enhanced the pharmacological effects of ginsenoside Rh2 on KG1${\alpha}$ by reducing Akt/mTOR signaling.

Horizontal starch gel electrophoresis in three buffers was used to compare the electrophoretic patterns in three cherry species, wild Prunus subhirtella, cultivated P. yedoensis and P. donarium. Electrophoretic patterns of glutamate oxaloacetate, transaminase-2(GOT-2), malate dehydrogenase-2(MDH-2), and phosphoglucose isomerase(PGI) in three species showed strong evidence that P. yedoensis might be originated by hybridization between P. subhirtella and P. donarium.

등전점 전기영동법에 의한 동위효소 분석과 제한효소 단편 다형화현상(RFLP) 분석기법을 이용하여 보리 품종 19종의 품종형을 구분하고 근연관계를 검토하였다. 보리 19품종은 동위효소 형태특성 에 따라 esterase는 7가지형으로, phosphoglucose isomerase는 3가지형으로, peroxidase는 4가지형으로, alcohol dehydrogenase는 2가지 형으로 각각 분류되었으며, 그 핵 DNA를 제한효소 EcoRV로 절단하여 DNA probe pMSU 71로 RFLP를 분석한 결과 2가지 품종형으로 구분되었다. 이 4가지 동위효소의 형태특성 및 핵 DNA의 RFLP 특성을 종합하면 보리 19품종을 13가지 품종형으로 구분할 수 있었다. 이렇게 구분된 13가지 품종형들은 Nei's F-statistics의 계산식으로 그 근연관계를 분석하였더니 $97.4{\sim}66.5%$ 범위의 근연관계를 보였다.

An enzyme analysis of the liver fluke, Clonorchis sinensis from Kimhae, Korea and from Shenyang, China was conducted using a horizontal. starch gel electrophoresis in order to elucidate their genetic relationships. A total of eight enzymes was employed from two different kinds of buffer systems. Two loci from each enzyme of aconitase and esterase (${\alpha}-Na{\;}and{\;}{\beta}-Na$) : and only one locus each from six enzymes, gluucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), ${\alpha}-glycerophosphate$ dehydrogenase (GPD), 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (HBDH), malate dehydrogenase (MDH), phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI), and phosphoglucomutase (PGM) were detected. Most of loci in two populations of C. sinensis showed homozygous monomorphic banding patterns and one of them, GPD was specific as genetic markers between two different populations. However, esterase (${\alpha}-Na$), GPD, HBDH and PGI loci showed polymorphic banding patterns. Two populations of C. sinensis were more closely clustered within the range of genetic identity value of 0.998-1.0. In summarizing the above results, two populations of C. sinensis employed in this study showed mostly monomorphic enzyme protein banding patterns, and genetic differences specific between two populations.

We employed a new and improved differential display reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (DDRT-PCR) method, which involves annealing control primers (ACPs), to identify the genes that are specifically or prominently expressed in olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) juveniles (35 days post-hatch; dph) compared to larval-stage (dph 21) flounder. Using 60 ACPs, we identified eight differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and basic local alignment search tool (BLAST) searches revealed eight known genes. Gene expression levels were confirmed by RT-PCR. Phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) was highly expressed at 21 dph, while nephrosin, myosin light chain (MLC), myosin heavy chain (MHC), carboxypeptidase A, chymotrypsin B, fish-egg protein, and matrix protein were expressed at 35 dph. PGI, MLC, and MHC expression was further analyzed by RT-PCR. The differentially expressed genes identified in this study may provide insights into the molecular basis of development in olive flounder.

본 연구는 우리나라의 대표적인 연어과 어류인 은연어, 무지개송어 및 그 잡종3배체의 부화자어에 있어서의 동위효소를 분석하여 부화후 초기의 유전적 특징과 유전현상을 규명하고 이를 토대로 이들 종 및 잡종의 식별을 위한 genetic marker를 찾아보고자 5개의 동위효소에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 이들 중 PGI에서는 종간 차이를 나타내지 않은 반면에 LDH, MDH, IDH 및 PGM 등은 은연어와 무지개송어간에 종 특이적 pattern을 나타내었는데 이는 이들 어종간의 발생 초기에 종의 식별을 위한 유전적 marker로써 유용한 것으로 판단되며, 또한 잡종 및 잡종3배체의 genetic marker로서도 상기 네 가지의 동위효소는 유용한 것으로 나타났다.

연어, 산천어, 무지개송어 등 우리나라의 연어과 어류에 있어서 종의 식별 및 3배체 어류의 판정에 동위효소를 genetic marker로 활용할 수 있는지의 가능성을 타진하고자 LDH, MDH, IDH, a-GPDH, ME, 6-PGD, PGI 및 PGM 등 8개 동위효소에 대하여 골격근 조직을 중심으로 분석을 실시하였다. 이중 골격근 조직의 MDH-B와 IDH loci에서 종간에 뚜렷한 차이를 나타내었으며 특히 MDH-B loci의 b 유전자의 출현빈도는 연어나 산천어에서는 거의 나타나지 않았으나 무지개송어에서는 매우 높게 나타났다. 또한 IDH도 무지개송어와 산천어간의 genetic marker로 유용할 것으로 보인다. 한편, PGI는 3배체 어류 생산시 친어를 상호 대립유전자(allele)의 동형접합(homozygote)인 개체를 사용할 경우 이의 효율적인 판정을 위한 새로운 marker로 활용할 수 있는 가능성을 가지고 있는 것으로 나타났으며 다른 loci에서는 별다른 차이를 발견할 수가 없었다.
