  • We previously reported that Skp1, a component of the Skp1-Cullin-F-box protein (SCF) complex essential for the timely degradation of cell cycle proteins by ubiquitination, physically interacts with Bfa1, which is a key negative regulator of the mitotic exit network (MEN) in response to diverse checkpoint-activating stresses in budding yeast. In this study, we initially investigated whether the interaction of Skp1 and Bfa1 is involved in the regulation of the Bfa1 protein level during the cell cycle, especially by mediating its degradation. However, the profile of the Bfa1 protein did not change during the cell cycle in skp1-11, which is a SKP1 mutant allele in which the function of Skp1 as a part of SCF is completely impaired, thus indicating that Skp1 does not affect the degradation of Bfa1. On the other hand, we found that the skp1-12 mutant allele, previously reported to block G2-M transition, showed defects in mitotic exit and cytokinesis. The skp1-12 mutant allele also revealed a specific genetic interaction with ${\Delta}bfa1$. Bfa1 interacted with Skp1 via its 184 C-terminal residues (Bfa1-D8) that are responsible for its function in mitotic exit. In addition, the interaction between Bfa1 and the Skp1-12 mutant protein was stronger than that of Bfa1 and the wild type Skp1. We suggest a novel function of Skp1 in mitotic exit and cytokinesis, independent of its function as a part of the SCF complex. The interaction of Skp1 and Bfa1 may contribute to the function of Skp1 in the mitotic exit.

  • Estimation of snow depth using optical image is conducted by using correlation with Snow Cover Fraction (SCF). Various algorithms have been proposed for the estimation of snow cover fraction based on Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI). In this study we tested linear, quadratic, and exponential equations for the generation of snow cover fraction maps using data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Aqua satellite in order to evaluate their applicability to the complex terrain of South Korea and to search for improvements to the estimation of snow depth on this landscape. The results were validated by comparison with in-situ snowfall data from weather stations, with Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) calculated as 3.43, 2.37, and 3.99 cm for the linear, quadratic, and exponential approaches, respectively. Although quadratic results showed the best RMSE, this was due to the limitations of the data used in the study; there are few number of in-situ data recorded on the station at the time of image acquisition and even the data is mostly recorded on low snowfall. So, we conclude that linear-based algorithms are better suited for use in South Korea. However, in the case of using the linear equation, the SCF with a negative value can be calculated, so it should be corrected. Since the coefficients of the equation are not optimized for this area, further regression analysis is needed. In addition, if more variables such as Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), land cover, etc. are considered, it could be possible that estimation of national-scale snow depth with higher accuracy.

  • Twenty eight non-lactating and non-pregnant adult Serra da Estrela ewes, ranging in body condition score (BCS) from 1 to 4 were used to study the relationships between BCS, live weight (LW), body composition and fat partition. Ewes were slaughtered and their kidney knob and channel fat (KKCF), sternal fat (STF) and omental plus mesenteric fat (OMF) were separated and weighed. Left sides of carcasses as well as the respective lumbar joints were then dissected into muscle, bone and subcutaneous (SCF) and intermuscular fat (IMF). The relationship between LW and BCS was studied using data from 1,396 observations on 63 ewes from the same flock and it was found to be linear. Regression analysis was also used to describe the relationships among BCS and/or LW and weights (kg) and percentages in empty body weight (EBW) of dissected tissues. The prediction of weights and percentages in EBW of total fat (TF) and of all fat depots afforded by BCS was better than that provided by LW. Only the weight of muscle and the percentage of bone in the EBW were more efficiently predicted by LW than by BCS. IMF represented the largest fat depot with a BCS of 1 and 2, whereas SCF was the most important site of fat deposition with a BCS of 3 and 4. Allometric coefficients for each fat depot in TF suggest that the fat deposition order in ewes from this breed is: IMF, OMF, SCF and KKCF. Results demonstrate that BCS is a better predictor than LW of body reserves in this breed and that LJ is a suitable anatomical region to evaluate BCS.

  • Objectives : To evaluate the diverse actions of stimulation on the hematopoietic system, 4 formulas (KH I, KH 2, KH 3, KH 4) were studied. Method and Result : RT-PCR was performed to measure the gene expression of hematopoietic cytokines (TPO, GM-CSF, SCF, IL-3). When bone marrow cells were treated with KH 1, 2, 3, 4, the gene expressions of TPO, SCF, IL-3, and GM-CSF were increased. Flow cytometric analysis was performed to measure the expression of CD34+ cell activity. After 72 hrs culture supplemented with KH 1, 2, 3, 4, the percent of CD34+ cell of KH 2, 3, 4 were increased. To measure the expression of colony forming units - granulocyte erythrocytes, macrophages, megakaryocytes (CFU-GEMM) and burst forming unit-erythroid (BFU-E), semisolid clonogenic assay was performed. After 14 days of culture the number of CFU-GEMM and BFU-E of KH I, 2, 3, 4 were significantly increased compared to those of EPO groups (KH 1 P<0.0l, KH 2 P<0.05, KH 3 P<0.001, KH 4 P<0.0l). To determine the intracelluar TPO expression by KH 3, KH 4 in bone marrow cells, intracelluar staining and flow cytometric analysis were performed. After 24 hrs cultures, the TPO expression of the KH 3 and KH 4 treated groups were increased over those of the controlled groups (control : 50%, KH 3 : 87%, KH 4 : 78%). Conclusion : These results suggest that KH I, KH 2, KH 3, KH 4 have hematopoietic effects through increasing the production of hematopoietic cytokines and stimulating the activity of $CD34^{+}$ cells. This study also shows that KH 3 has a more effective hematopoietic effect than KH 1, 2, 4. These results suggest that the formulas (KH I, 2, 3, 4) can be applied to the patients with inappropriate hematopoietic system, and that KH 3 can be the most effective formula among these 4 in treating bone marrow disease in clinics.
