A cDNA clone encoding the ribosomal protein S20 has been isolated from the Schizosaccharomyces pombe cDNA library by colony hybridization. The insert contained in the original plasmid pYJ10 was transferred intro shuttle vector pRS316 generate plasmid pYJll. The dDNA insert of plasmid pYJll, contains 484 nucleotides and encodes a protein of 118 amino acids with a calculated mass of 13,544 daltons. The deduced amino acid sequence of S. pombe ribosomal protein S20 is very homologous with fruit fly, rat, and budding yeast counterparts. It is also homologous with Xenopus S22 ribosomal protein. S. pombe ribosomal protein S20 appears to be relatively hydruphobic except the C-terminal region. The 728 bp upstream region of the S20 gene was amplified from chromosomal DNA and transferred into the BamHI/EcoRI site of the promoterles $\beta$-galactosidase gene of the vector YEp357R, which resulted in fusion plasmid pYS20. The synthesis of $\beta$-galactosidase from the fusion plasmid appeared to be the highest in the mid-exponential phase. The S. pombe cells with the fusion plasmid grown at 35$\^{C}$ gave lower $\beta$-galactosidase activity than the cells grown at 30$\^{C}$. Computer analysis showed the consensus sequence CAGTCACA in the upstream regions of various ribosomal protein genes in S. pombe, which would be involved in the coordinated expression of small ribosomal proteins.

Three experiments were conducted to develop and test equations for predicting carcass composition. In the first study using 52 d-old Cobb ${\times}$ Cobb male broilers, twenty four carcasses were selected from 325 processed birds based upon visual appraisal for abdominal fat (low, medium, high) and assayed for specific gravity (SG), dry matter (DM), fat, protein, and ash. In experiment 2, 120 birds were fed rations containing 2 caloric densities (2,880 and $3,200kcal\;ME_n/kg$ diet) and assayed as described above on weeks 2,3,4,5, and 6. Carcass fat was elevated (p < 0.05) with increased caloric density. In both studies predictive variables were significantly correlated with chemically determined carcass fat, protein, and ash contents. Pooled across the 2 studies, data were used to form SG, DM, and or age based equations for predicting carcass composition. Results were tested in experiment 3, where 576 birds reared to 49-d consumed either 2,880, 3,200, or $3,574kcal\;ME_n/kg$ diet while exposed to constant $24^{\circ}C$ or cycling 24 to $35^{\circ}C$ ambient temperatures. Both dietary and environmental effects impacted (p < 0.05) carcass composition. The fat content analyzed chemically was enhanced from 12.4 to 15.7%, and predicted fat was also elevated from 13.4 to 14.8% with increasing caloric density. Heat distress reduced (p < 0.05) analyzed carcass protein (18.9 vs 18.3%) and predicted protein (18.2 vs 17.5%). Predicted equation values for carcass fat, protein, ash, and energy were correlated with the chemically analyzed values at r=0.96, 0.77, 0.86, and 0.79, respectively. Results suggest that prediction equations based on DM and SG may be used to estimate carcass fat, protein, ash, and energy contents of broilers consuming diets that differ in caloric density (2,800 to $3,574kcal\;ME_n/kg$) and for broilers exposed to either constant ($24^{\circ}C$) or cycling high (24 to $35^{\circ}C$) ambient temperatures during 49-d rearing period tested in the present study.

This study was carried out in order to study the emulsifying properties of kidney bean protein isolate. Kidney bean protein isolate was tested for the purpose of finding out the effect of pH, addition of NaCl, and heat treatment on the solbulity and emulsion capacity, emulsion stability, surface hydropobicity and emulsion viscosity. The results were summarized as follows. 1 The solubility of kidney bean protein isolate was affected by pH and showed the lowest value at pll 4.5 which is isoelectric point of kidney bean isolate. When the kidney bean protein isolate was heated, the highest value observed at pH 2 and pH 7 was 96.11%, 97.41% respectively. 2. The emulsion capacity of kidney bean protein isolate was not significantly different with each pH. With addition of NaCl, emulsion capacity decreased steadily. When heated thr highest value observed at pH 2 and pH 7 was 82.91 ml oil/100 mg protein ($60^{\circ}C$), 82.08 m1 oil/100 mg protein ($80^{\circ}C$) respectively. 3. The emulsion stability was significantly higher at pH 4.5 than that of pH 2 and pH 7 (p 0.05) When NaCl was added, emulsion stability was generally increased after 2hrs. When heated, the highest value observed at pH 2 and pH 7 was 21.25% ($80^{\circ}C$),23.7%($100^{\circ}C$) respectively after 2hrs. 4. Surface hydrophobicity increased sharply as 0.2 M NaCl was added to pH 4.5. When heated, the surface hydrophobicity increased as the temperature increased. 5. The highest value of emulsion viscosity was observed at pH 4.5 and pH 7 when 0.2 M NaCl was added. Under heat treatment, the highest value was 48,000 cps at pH 4.5 ($40^{\circ}C$). In the case of pH 7, the highest value was 105,000 cpa at $100^{\circ}C$.

Protein kinase C (PKC) is involved in many cellular signaling pathways, it participates in many physiological processes, such as cell cycle, growth, proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. To investigate the effect of PKC on the silkworm midgut tissue infection of Bombyx mori parvo-like virus (BmPLV), a B. mori atypical protein kinase C (BmaPKC) gene was cloned from larval midgut tissue, expressed in E. coli and purified. Additionally, the BmPLV susceptible silkworm strain and resistant silkworm strain were used to test the effect of the B. mori infection on BmPLV. The result showed that BmaPKC encodes a predicted 586 amino acid protein, which contains a C-terminal kinase domain and an N-terminal regulatory domain. The maximum expression amount of the soluble (His)6-tagged fusion protein was detected after 0.8 mmol/L IPTG was added and cultured at $21^{\circ}C$. The (His) 6-tagged fusion protein revealed about 73 kDa molecular weight which confirmed by western blot and mass spectrography. Furthermore BmaPKC protein were detected at 0-72 h post-infection in BmPLVinfected larval midgut tissue, western blot showed that as time went on, the expression of BmaPKC increased gradually in susceptible strain, the expression quantity on 72 h is 5 times of 0 h. However, in resistant strain, the expression quantity is slightly lower than susceptible strain. But no significant change in resistant strain was observed as time went on. The available data suggest that BmaPKC may involve in the regulation of BmPLV proliferation.

C5a 또는 PMA에 의하여 활성화된 호중구에서의 superoxide와 HOCl 생성에 나타내는 staurosporine, genistein과 pertussis toxin의 효과를 관찰하였다. C5a에 의한 superoxide과 $H_2O_2$의 생성은 staurosporine, genistein과 pertussis toxin에 의하여 억제되었다. PMA의 자극효과는 staurosporine에 의하여 억제되었으나 pertussis toxin에 의하여 영향을 받지 않았으며, 한편 이는 genistein에 의하여 더 촉진되었다. Staurosporine, genistein은 sodium fluoride에 의한 superoxide 생성을 억제 하였으나 pertussis toxin은 영향을 나타내지 않았다. PMA에 의한 $H_2O_2$의 생성은 staurosporine에 의하여 억제되었으나 pertussis toxin은 영향을 나타내지 않았다. Genistein은 PMA에 의한 $H_2O_2$의 생성에 자극효과를 나타내지 않았다. Staurosporine과 pertussis toxin은 C5a 또는 PMA에 의한 HOCl 생성을 억제하였으나, 이에 반하여 genistein은 자극하였다. C5a와 PMA에 의한 myeloperoxidase 유리는 genistein에 의하여 억제되었나, pertussis toxin의 효과는 나타나지 않았다. Staurosporine은 유리에 대한 PMA의 자극효과에 영향을 주지 않았다. Myeloperoxidase 활성은 genistein에 의하여 현저하게 증가되었으나 staurosporine과 pertussis toxin의 영향은 받지 않았다. 이상의 결과는 호중구의 respiratory burst가 protein kinase C와 protein tyrosine kinase에 의하여 조절된다고 제시한다. Protein kinase C의 직접적인 자극에 따른 superoxide 생성은 protein tyrosine kinase의 영향을 역으로 받을 것으로 추정된다. Genistein은 아마도 myeloperoxidase를 활성화하여 HOCl 생성을 촉진할 것으로 시사된다.

Quality of rice grain changes during dry storage with internal physiological changes and external injury by organism. Storage rice changes by condition with respiration via variable temperature, hydrolysis enzyme reaction, lipid peroxidation occurs with change of palatability. During dry storage, physiological change with protein variation pattern was examined by image analysis on proteomic technology. Analysis revealed that protein activity had no change store at room temperature and store at $40^{\circ}C$, but decreased store at $60^{\circ}C$. Analysis of variable hydrophobic protein pattern revealed that protein activity of beta-tubulin, protein disulfide isomerase, vacuolar ATPase b subunit, globulin was not significantly decreased all dry and store condition. However, heat shock protein 70, and glutathione transferase was significantly decreased when rice dried at $60^{\circ}C$ compared with room temperature and $40^{\circ}C$ dry condition.

Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein E1(hnRNP E1) is one of the primary pre-mRNA binding proteins in human cells. It consists of 356 amino acid residues and harbors three hnRNP K homology(KH) domains that mediate RNA-binding. The hnRNP E1 protein was shown to play important roles in mRNA stabilization and translational control. In order to enhance our understanding of the cellular functions of hnRNP E1, we searched for interacting proteins through a yeast two-hybrid screening while using HeLa cDNA library as target. One of the cDNA clones was found to be human ribosomal protein L18a cDNA(GenBank accession number BC071920). We demonstrated in this study that human ribosomal protein L18a, a constituent of ribosomal protein large subunit, interacts specifically with hnRNP E1 in the yeast two-hybrid system. Such an interaction was observed for the first time in this study, and was also verified by biochemical assay.

Ribosomal protein complex with ribosomal RNA to form the subunits of the ribosome serve essential functions in protein synthesis. A full-length cDNA (PRPS4) encoding ribosomal protein S4 has been isolated and its nucleotide sequence determined in ginseng plant (Panax ginseng). A PRPS4 cDNA is 1105 nucleotides long and has an open reading frame of 792 bp with a deduced amino acid sequence of 264 residues (pI 10.67). The deduced amino acid sequence of PRPS4 matched to the previously reported ribosomal protein S4 genes. Their degree of amino acid identity ranged from 68 to $92\%$. Phylogenetic analysis based on the amino acid residues showed that the PRPS4 grouped with ribosomal protein S4 of S. tuberosum (CAA54095).
