Nucleotide sequence homology between bovine, simian, and porcine rotavirus was determined by the RNA:RNA hybridization technique. Single stranded RNA, prepared in vitro with EDTA activated endogeneous viral RNA polymerase, was hhbridized with tritium labeled bovine rotavirus genomic RNA. The heteroduplex RNA was treated with single stranded RNA specific ribonucleases and the RNase resistant hybrid RNA was precipitated, and collected by filtration on a filter paper. Seventy four percent RNA sequence homology between bovine and simian rotavirus and 8 percent RNA sequence homology between bovine and porcine rotavirus was confirmed by hybridization between tritium labeled single stranded RNA and viral genomic RNA.

the nucleotide sequence of the 3' terminal 568 bases of the 18S rRNA gene from Mucor racemosus was determined. The 3' end of the structural gene was identified by comparison with the published sequence for the Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene. The M. racemosus gene was found to share 83.8% homology with that of S. cerevisiae and 71-81% homology with those of human, mouse, maize, Xenopus laevis and Tetrahymena thermophila. The known methylation sites in X. laevis and human were also highly conserved in M. racemosus and located within most conserved regions of 18S RNA gene throughout evolution.

Reliable PCR based identification of lactobacilli has been described utilizing the sequence of 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer region. Those sequence comparisons showed a high degree of difference in homology among the strains of L. rhamnosus, L. casei, L. acidophilus and L. helveticus whose 16S-23S rRNA intergenic small SR's sizes were 222 bp, 222 bp, 206 bp and 216 bp respectively. The sequence of 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer region of L. rhamnosus ATCC 53103 revealed the close relatedness to those of L. casei strains by the homology ranges from 95.4% to 97.2%. 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer region nucleotide sequence of L. acidophilus showed some distant relatedness with L. rhamnosus ATCC 53103 with the homology ranges from 40.3% to 41.8% and that with L. helveticus was shown to be 30% of homology, which exists at the most distant phylogenetic relatedness. The identification of species and strain of lactobacilli was possible on the basis of these results. The common sequences among the 17 strains were CTAAGGAA located in the initiating position of the DNA and some discrepancies were found between the same strains based on these results.

To determine the nucleotide sequence of the ds RNA segment B containing the RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) gene of the DRT strain of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (lPNV), the cDNA of the ds RNA segment B of the DRT strain of IPNV was synthesized using the reverse transcriptase (RT)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and its cDNA nucleotide sequence was determined. The DRT segment B was 2, 783 bp long and contained only a single long open reading frame (ORF) of 2, 535 bp in length. This ORF nucleotides encoded the VPl protein, the putative RdRp of IPNV. The VPl protein comsisted of 845 amino acids. The molecular weight of the RdRp, as deduced from the nucleotide sequence, is 94, 426. The nucleotide sequence of the ORF of the DRT showed 89.7% homology to the Jasper strain, but 80.8% to the Sp strain. The amino acid sequence of the ORF of the DRT sho.wed 97.6% homology to the Jasper strain, but 88.7% to the Sp strain. The conserved GTP-binding motif was detected in VPl protein.

In Gram(+) bacteria and organelles in higher eukarotes, $Gln-tRNA^{Gln}$ utilized for protein biosynthesis is formed by a tRNA-dependent amino acid transformation using mischarged $Gln-tRNA^{Gln}$ as the intermediate. In this study, the gatCAB gene encoding $Gln-tRNA^{Gln}$ amidotransferase (Glu-AdT) of Staphylococcus aureus was cloned and its nucleotide sequence wa determined. The S. aureus gatCAB gene was organized in an operon structure consisting of three open reading frames (gatC, gatA, and gatB), similar to that of Bacillus subtilis. The gene sequences for the A and B subunits of$Gln-tRNA^{Gln}$ amidotransferase showed significant homology (77 and 87% homology with amino acid sequence) with the gatA and gatB genes of B. subtilis, yet the C subunit (gatC) showed a relatively lowe homology with the B. subtilis gatC gene and other orthologues. The cloned S. aureus <$Gln-tRNA^{Gln}$ amidotransferase gene was highly expressed in Escherichia coli, and the resulting crude enzyme could convert misacylated <$Gln-tRNA^{Gln}$ into $Gln-tRNA^{Gln}$ in vitro.

An isolate of barley yellow mosaic virus(BaYMV-HN) obtained from Haenam, Korea was compared with two BaYMV strains. BaYMV-Ⅱ-1 from Japan and BaYMV-G from Germany. The sequence of the 3'-terminal 3817nucleotides[excluding the poly (A) tail] of RNA 1 of BaYMV-HN was determined to start within a long open reading frame coding for a part of the NIa-VPg polymerase(26 amino acids). NIa-Pro polymerase (343 amino acids), NIb polymerase(528 amino acids) and the entire capsid protein(297 amino acids), which is followed by a noncoding region(NCR) of 235 nucelotides. In the partial ORFs, BaYMV-HN shows higher sequence homology with BaYMV-Ⅱ-1(99.5%) than BaYMV-G(92.7%). The 3' non-coding regions of BaYMV-HN(235nt) shows higher nucleotide sequence homology with BaYMV-G(235nt)(99.6%) than BaYMV-Ⅱ-1(231nt)(97.0%). The 3' NIa-Pro protein sequence of BaYMV-HN shows higher amino acid sequence homology with BaYMV-Ⅱ-1(95.0%) than BaYMV-G(93.6%), but, NIb protein sequence of BaYMV-HN shows same all amino acid sequence. The capsid protein sequence of BaYMV-HN(297aa) shows same with BaYMV-Ⅱ-1, and shows higher nucleotide sequence homology with BaYMV-UK (from United Kingdom)(97.3%) than BaYMV-G(96.9%) and G2(96.9%). Difference of capsid protein amino acid were 0-9 between the Japan, United Kingdom and Germany and were 2-6 between all Korean isolates. Many of the amino acid differences are located in the N-terminal regions of the capsid proteins from 1 to 74 amino acid positions.

Full-length cDNA for RNA2 of cucumber mosaic virus strian Kor (Kor-CMV) was cloned downstream of synthetic T7 promoter by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The clone could generate a full-length transcript corresponding to RNA1 in size when synthesized by T7 RNA polymerase. The complete nucleotide sequence has shown that the RNA2 is composed of 3,049 nucleotides and contains one functional open reading frame (ORF) of 2,574 nucleotides encoding 2a protein. The deduced translation product of the 2,574 nucleotides contains GDD motif which is a characteristic of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp). The amino acid sequence analysis of the 2a protein has shown that the homology is found in decreasing order with O-CMV (98.8%), Y-CMV (98.7%), Fny-CMV (98.3%), KCMV (94.9%), Ix-CMV (91.9%), and Q-CMV (74.9%). Kor-CMV is suggested to belong to subgroup Ⅰ in the aspect of nucleotide sequence homology of RNA2.

Using phytoplasma universal primer pair Pl and P7, a fragment of about 1.8 kb nucleotide sequences of 16S rRNA gene and 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer region, and a portion of 23S rRNA gene of jujube witches'broom (JWB) and mulberry dwarf(MD) phytoplasmas were determined. The nucleotide sequences of JWB and MD were 1,850 bp and 1,831 bp long, respectively. The JWB phytoplasma sequence was aligned with the homologous sequence of MD phytoplasma. Twenty-eight base insertions and nine base deletions were found in the JWB phytoplasma sequence compared with that of MD phytoplasma. The similarity of the aligned sequences of JWB and MD was 84.8%. The near-complete 16S rRNA gene DNA sequences of JWB and MD were 1,529 bp and 1,530 bp in length, respectively, and revealed 89.0% homology. The 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer region DNA sequences were 263 bp and 243 bp in lengths respectively, while homology was only 70% and the conserved tRNA-lle gene of JWB and MD was located into the intergenic space region between 16S-23S rRNA gene. The nucleotide sequences were 77 bp long in both JWB and MD, and showed 97.4% sequence homology. Based on the phylogenetic analysis of the two phytoplasmas, the JWB phytoplasma belongs to the Elm yellow phytoplasma group (16S rV), whereas, the MD phytoplasma belongs to the Aster yellow group (16S rI).

Low moleuclar weight (LMW) RNAs were isolated form Korean peonies which expressed symptoms of stunt and epinasty. The LMW plant RNAs were purified by Qiagen column chromatography which could separate viroid specific nucleic acid at differential salt concentration. After the inoculation of the purified RNAs from the peonies, the inoculated tomatoes (cv. Rutgers) expressed the symptoms of stunt and epinasty. Also the same molecular weight RNAs with viroid-like RNAs were isolated from the inoculated tomatoes. Double-stranded cDNA were synthesized by the methods of reverse transcription (RT) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with the purified RNA and primers. The same cDNAs associated with viroid-like RNAs wre cloned from the inoculated tomatoes. The cDNA has been sequenced and its 375-nucleotides were arranged into secondary structure. The cloned cDNA showed 47~54% homology compared with other viroids. The sequence homology of the cloned cDNA were partially high with plant genomic RNAs.
