  • $Potato$ $virus$ $X$ (PVX) contains $cis$-acting elements including stem-loop 1 (SL1) RNA at the 5' region; SL1 is conserved among all potexviruses. The SL1 at the positive-sense RNA, SL1(+), is required for PVX RNA replication, cell-to-cell movement, and translation. Previous research demonstrated that SL1(+) RNA also serves as the origin of assembly for encapsidation of PVX RNA. To identify the essential sequences and/or regions for capsid protein (CP) subunit recognition within SL1(+) RNA, we used electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA), UV cross-linking, and yeast three-hybrid analyses. The EMSA and UV cross-linking analyses with PVX CP subunits and RNA transcripts corresponding to the SL1(+) RNA showed that the SL1(+) RNA formed complexes with CP subunits. We also conducted EMSA and yeast three-hybrid analyses with RNAs containing various mutations of SL1(+) RNA elements. These analyses indicated that SL1(+) RNA is required for the interaction with PVX CP and that the RNA sequences located at the loop C and tetra loop of the SL1(+) are crucial for CP binding. These results indicate that, in addition to being important for RNA accumulation, the SL1(+) RNA from the 5' region of the PVX genome is also required for specific binding of PVX CP.

  • RNA 함량이 증가되고, 증식속도가 더 빠른 효모 변이주를 선별하기 위해, 모균주 Saccharomyces cerevisiae MTY62 세포에 화학적 돌연변이제인 ethylmethane sulfonate를 처리하여, YPD 배지에서는 잘 자라고 KCl 함유 배지에서는 자라지 않는 변이주들을 선별하였다. 이 변이주들 중 시험관 및 플라스크 배양을 통해 균체농도와 RNA 함량이 모균주 MTY62에 비해 각각 1.5배, 1.3배 증가한 M40-10 변이주를 최종적으로 선별하였다. 변이주 M40-l0을 발효조 회분배양한 결과, 최대비증식속도는 $0.38 h^{-1}$ , RNA 농도는 3210 mg-RNA/1, RNA 함량은 183mg-RNA/g-DCW 값을 보여, 모균주에 비해 각각 23%, 15%, 12%씩 증가하였다. M40-10 변이주를 간헐적 유가배양한 결과, 최대 균체농도는 35.6 g-DCW/1을, 최대 RNA 농도는 5677mg-RNA/l을, RNA함량은 160 mg-RNA/g-DCW을 나타내어 모균주보다 우수하였다. 일정속도의 유가배양에서도 M40-10 변이주의 최대 균체농도는 46.4g-DCW/1, RNA 농도는 6270mg-RNA/1, RNA 함량은 135mg-RNA/g-DCW을 보였다. 이들 유가배양에서 배양 중반기인 20시간 전후에서는 모균주에 비해 변이주의 세포농도는 30%, RNA 농도는 10% 정도 증가되었다. 또한 유가배양 말기까지도 RNA 분해는 거의 일어나지 않아, M40-10 변이주는 산성 RNase 활성이 크게 감소한 변이주임을 알 수 있었다.

  • The tRNA structure contains conserved modifications that are responsible for its stability and are involved in the initiation and accuracy of the translation process. tRNA modification enzymes are prevalent in bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. tRNA Gm18 methyltransferase (TrmH) and tRNA $m^1G37$ methyltransferase (TrmD) are prevalent and essential enzymes in bacterial populations. TrmH involves itself in methylation process at the 2'-OH group of ribose at the 18th position of guanosine (G) in tRNAs. TrmD methylates the G residue next to the anticodon in selected tRNA subsets. Initially, $m^1G37$ modification was reported to take place on three conserved tRNA subsets ($tRNA^{Arg}$, $tRNA^{Leu}$, $tRNA^{Pro}$); later on, few archaea and eukaryotes organisms revealed that other tRNAs also have the $m^1G37$ modification. The present study reveals Gm18, $m^1G37$ modification, and positions of $m^1G$ that take place next to the anticodon in tRNA sequences. We selected extremophile organisms and attempted to retrieve the $m^1G$ and Gm18 modification bases in tRNA sequences. Results showed that the Gm18 modification G residue occurs in all tRNA subsets except three tRNAs ($tRNA^{Met}$, $tRNA^{Pro}$, $tRNA^{Val}$). Whereas the $m^1G37$ modification base G is formed only on $tRNA^{Arg}$, $tRNA^{Leu}$, $tRNA^{Pro}$, and $tRNA^{His}$, the rest of the tRNAs contain adenine (A) next to the anticodon. Thus, we hypothesize that Gm18 modification and $m^1G$ modification occur irrespective of a G residue in tRNAs.

  • 제1형 인간 면역결핍 바이러스 (human immunodeficiency virus type 1, HIV-1)의 Rev 단백질에 대하여 야생형보다 10배 더 잘 결합하도록 시험관에서 선택된 RRE40라 명명된 RNA aptamer가 과연 임상적으로 유용한지 알기 위하여 인체의 CD4^+ peripheral blood lymphocytes 세포에서 레트로바이러스 벡터를 이용하여 RRE40 RNA를 발현한 후에 그 세포에서의 HIV-1 증식 현상을 관찰하였다. 그 결과 대조군인 tRNA를 발현하는 유전자가 전달된 세포에 비해 RRE40 RNA를 발현하는 세포에서 보다 더 효과적으로 HIV-1의 증식이 억제되었다. 그러나 바이러스의 증식이 완전히 억제되지는 못 하였고 일시적 또는 감소된 형태로 바이러스 증식이 억제되었다. 이러한 결과는 RRE40 RNA가 decoy로서 세포에서의 HIV-1 증식 억제에 유용함을 시사하지만 RNA decoy를 HIV-1 감염 환자의 치료에 이용하기 위해선 보다 효과적인 유전자 전달방법 및 보다 개선된 RNA decoy의 개발 등이 필요할 것이다.

  • mRNA의 핵에서 세포질로의 이동(mRNA export)에 관여하는 것으로 여겨지는 분열효모 Schizosaccharomyces pombe의 rsm1 유전자의 역할을 알아보기 위해 $kan^{r}$ 유전자를 이용하여 결실돌연변이주(deletion mutant)를 제조하였다. rsm1 유전자는 생장에 필수 유전자는 아니지만, rsm1 결실돌연변이주는 야생형에 비해 생장이 조금 늦고 mRNA export도 약간의 결함을 보였다. rsm1 유전자와 mRNA export의 중요 유전자와의 연관관계를 알아보기 위해, 이중돌연변이주(double mutants)를 제작하여 생장결함 정도와 mRNA export 결함 정도를 조사하였다. 조사한 유전자들 중에서 mex67 또는 npp106 돌연변이 유전자는 rsm1 결실돌연변이 유전자와 함께 존재하면 생장과mRNA export가 더욱 악화되었다. 반면, thp1 돌연변이 유전자는 rsm1 결실돌연변이 유전자와 함께 존재하면 오히려 생장과 mRNA export 정도를 야생형과 유사한 정도로 호전시켰다. 이와 같은 결과들은 rsm1 유전자가 mRNA의 핵에서 세포질로의 이동에 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있음을 시사한다.

  • Hypoxia plays important roles in cancer progression by inducing angiogenesis, metastasis, and drug resistance. However, the effects of hypoxia on long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) expression have not been clarified. Herein, we evaluated alterations in lncRNA expression in lung cancer cells under hypoxic conditions using lncRNA microarray analyses. Among 40,173 lncRNAs, 211 and 113 lncRNAs were up- and downregulated, respectively, in both A549 and NCI-H460 cells. Uroplakin 1A (UPK1A) and UPK1A-antisense RNA 1 (AS1), which showed the highest upregulation under hypoxic conditions, were selected to investigate the effects of UPK1A-AS1 on the expression of UPK1A and the mechanisms of hypoxia-inducible expression. Following transfection of cells with small interfering RNA (siRNA) targeting hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), the hypoxia-induced expression of UPK1A and UPK1A-AS1 was significantly reduced, indicating that HIF-1α played important roles in the hypoxia-induced expression of these targets. After transfection of cells with UPK1A siRNA, UPK1A and UPK1A-AS1 levels were reduced. Moreover, transfection of cells with UPK1A-AS1 siRNA downregulated both UPK1A-AS1 and UPK1A. RNase protection assays demonstrated that UPK1A and UPK1A-AS1 formed a duplex; thus, transfection with UPK1A-AS1 siRNA decreased the RNA stability of UPK1A. Overall, these results indicated that UPK1A and UPK1A-AS1 expression increased under hypoxic conditions in a HIF-1α-dependent manner and that formation of a UPK1A/UPK1A-AS1 duplex affected RNA stability, enabling each molecule to regulate the expression of the other.

  • Flock House virus (FHV), an insect RNA virus, has a bipartite genome. FHV RNA1 can be packaged in turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) as long as the FHV RNA has a TYMV sequence at the 3'-end. The encapsidated FHV RNA1 has four additional nucleotides at the 5'-end. We investigated whether the recombinant FHV RNA1 could replicate in mammalian cells. To address this issue, we prepared in vitro transcribed FHV RNAs that mimicked the recombinant FHV RNA1, and introduced them into baby hamster kidney (BHK) cells. The result showed that the recombinant FHV RNA1 was capable of replication. An eGFP gene inserted into the frame with B2 gene of the FHV RNA1 was also successfully expressed. We also observed that eGFP expression at the protein level was strong at 28℃ but weak at 30℃. Sequence analysis showed that the 3'-ends of the RNA1 and RNA3 replication products were identical to those of the authentic FHV RNAs. This indicates that FHV replicase correctly recognized an internally-located replication signal. In contrast, the 5'-ends of recombinant FHV RNA1 frequently had deletions, indicating random initiation of (+)-strand synthesis.

  • 출아효모 Saccharomyces cerevisiae에서 RNA-binding 단백질인 Tho1은 mRNA가 전사되는 동안 초기 mRNA에 결합하여 mRNP 생성과 성숙한 mRNA의 핵에서 세포질로의 방출에 관여하는 것으로 여겨진다. 분열효모 Schizosaccharomyces pombe에서도 Tho1과 유사한 단백질을 암호화하는 유전자(spTho1로 명명)를 찾아 그 특성을 조사하였다. 이배체 S.pombe 균주에 하나의 spTho1 유전자만을 결실시킨 후 4분체분석을 수행한 결과, 이 유전자는 생장에 반드시 필요하지 않았다. 또한 spTho1 결실 돌연변이는 mRNA의 핵에서 세포질로의 방출도 정상적으로 보였다. 그러나 티아민에 의해 발현이 조절되는 강력한 프로모터를 이용하여 spTho1를 과발현시키면, 세포의 생장이 억제되었으며 $poly(A)^+$ RNA가 핵 안에 축적되었다. 이와 같은 결과들은 spTho1 유전자가 필수적이지는 않지만 mRNA의 핵에서 세포질로의 방출에 관여하고 있음을 시사한다.

  • Background: In this study, influence caused by expression plasmids of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) short hairpin RNA (shRNA) on mRNA expression of CTGF,TIMP-1,procol-${\alpha}1$ and PCIII in hepatic tissue with hepatic fibrosis, a precancerous condition, in rats is analyzed. Materials and Methods: To screen and construct shRNA expression plasimid which effectively interferes RNA targets of CTGF and TIMP-1 in rats. 50 cleaning Wistar male rats are allocated randomly at 5 different groups after precancerous fibrosis models and then injection of shRNA expression plasimids. Plasmid psiRNA-GFP-Com (CTGF and TIMP-1 included), psiRNA-GFP-CTGF, psiRNA-GFP-TIMP-1 and psiRNA-DUO-GFPzeo of blank plasmid are injected at group A, B, C and D, respectively, and as model control group that none plasimid is injected at group E. In 2 weeks after last injection, to hepatic tissue at different groups, protein expression of CTGF, TIMP-1, procol-${\alpha}1$ and PC III is tested by immunohistochemical method and,mRNA expression of CTGF,TIMP-1,procol-${\alpha}1$ and PCIII is measured by real-time PCR. One-way ANOVA is used to comparison between-groups. Results: Compared with model group, there is no obvious difference of mRNA expression among CTGF,TIMP-1,procol-${\alpha}1$, PC III and of protein expression among CTGF, TIMP-1, procol-${\alpha}1$, PC III in hepatic tissue at group injected with blank plasmid. Expression quantity of mRNA of CTGF, TIMP-1, procol-${\alpha}1$ and PCIII at group A, B and C decreases, protein expression of CTGF, TIMP-1, procol-${\alpha}1$, PC III in hepatic tissue is lower, where the inhibition of combination RNA interference group (group A) on procol-${\alpha}1$ mRNA transcription and procol-${\alpha}1$ protein expression is superior to that of single interference group (group B and C) (P<0.01 or P<0.05). Conclusions: RNA interference on CTGF and/or TIMP-1 is obviously a inhibiting factor for mRNA and protein expression of CTGF, TIMP-1, procol-${\alpha}1$ and PCIII. Combination RNA interference on genes of CTGF and TIMP-1 is superior to that of single RNA interference, and this could be a contribution for prevention of precancerous condition.
