  • From 1996 to 1999, potato-growing areas in Korea were surveyed for identification and distribution of potato scab pathogens. Potato scab was widely distributed in the mass cultivation areas, especially in Jriu island, southern areas of Chonnam and Gyounggi provinces, and the alpine area of Gangwon province. Jeju island was the most affected area by this disease. A total of 55 Streptomyces strains were isolated from potato scab lesions, among which 40 strains were pathogenic on progeny tubers. Among the pathogenic strain, 21 strains were identified as previously described S. scabies, 7 Strains as S. turgidiscabies, and 5 Strains as S. acidiscabies, while 7 strains were observed as having distinct phenotypic properties. These strains were classified into six distinct clusters based on phenotypic characteristics and selected representative strains for each cluster. S. scabies (S33) had grey spores in a spiral chain. Mean-while, S. turgidiscabies (S27) had grey spores, S. acidiscabies (S71) had white spores, S. luridiscabiei (S63) had yellow-white spores, S. puniciscabiei (S77) had purple-red spores, and S. niveiscabiei (S78) had thin and compact white spores, all in a rectiflexuous chain. Pathogenicity was determined by the production of thaxtomin A and homologs of necl and ORFtnp genes. In TLC, representative strains S27, S71, S63, S77, and S78 produced a yellow band that co-migrated with the authentic thaxtomin A. However, thaxtomin A was not detected in chloroform extracts from oatmeal broth culture and Slice tuber tissue of S. luridiscabiei (S63) and S. puniciscabiei (S77) by HPLC analysis. In addition, no homologs of necl and ORFtnp genes in S. acidiscabies (S71), S. luridiscabiei (S63), S. puniciscabiei (S77), and S. niveiscabiei (S78) were detected by PCR and Southern hybridization analysis.

  • Fructan은 식물이 저온에 노출 되었을 때 다양한 조직에 축적됨으로써 여러 스트레스에 저항을 나타내는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 fructan 생합성 경로에 관여하는 효소인 1-sst와 1-fft 유전자를 돼지감자 구근으로 부터 분리하였다. 분리한 1-sst와 1-fft 유전자는 Ti-plasmid vector인 KJG V-B2 vector에 35S promoter에 의해 발현할 수 있도록 형질전환용 벡터를 구축하였다. Agrobacterium tumefaciens법에 의해 1-sst와 1-fft 유전자의 형질전환 벼를 육성하였고, 1-sst, 1-fft 및 HPT 유전자 특이적인 primer를 사용하여 PCR 분석한 결과 유전자가 벼의 callus 게놈내에 안정적으로 삽입되었음을 확인하였다. 또한 Southern 및 RT-PCR 분석에서도 같은 결과를 얻었다. 형질전환 벼의 후대에서도 안정적으로 유전자가 발현되는 homo 계통을 선발하였고 이를 이용해 1-sst와 1-fft 유전자의 삽입이 확인된 형질전환 벼에서 유전자의 발현양상을 알아보기 위해 RT-PCR 및 Real-Time PCR를 수행한 결과 형질전환 벼에서 1-sst와 1-fft 유전자 모두 안정적으로 발현되고 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 1-sst와 1-fft 유전자가 삽입된 형질전환 벼를 이용한 기능 분석 연구를 통해 식물체가 저온에 노출되었을 때 1-sst와 1-fft의 작용에 의해 fructan 생합성량이 증가됨을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 얻어진 fructan 생합성 관련 유전자가 삽입된 형질전환 벼는 탄수화물대사 및 저온, 건조 등의 환경 stress에 대한 내성에 대해 좋은 육종 소재로 이용 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

  • 수계환경에서 세균의 접합에 의해 나타난 conjugant 에서 plasmid 의 재배열과 $Km^{r}$ 유전자의 행방을 조사하기 위하여 자연계 분리균주와 유전공학적 변형균주(GMM)의 $Km^{r}$ 유전자의 전이빈도를 조사하는 동시에 3.9 kb 의 $Km^{r}$ 유전자를 DNA probe 로 사용하여 Southern analysis 를 실시하였다. $Km^{r}$ 유전자의 전이빈도는 실험실 환경에서 GMM 균주가 자연계균주(DK1) 보다 100배 더 높게 나타났으나, 무심천에서는 균주에 따라 차이가 없었다. 실험실환경에서 DK1 균주를 donor 로 하여 LB 나 FW 에서 얻은 conjugant 들은 모두 같은 수의 plasmid 를 가지고 있었으나 크기는 다르게 재배열하였다으며, $Km^{r}$ 유전자는 donor 의 R plasmid 인 pDK101 과 비슷한 위치에서 발견되었다. GMM 균주가 donor 일 때에는 180 kb 의 plasmid 가 새로 나타났으며, 특히 FW 수질에서 donor 가 DKC600 일 때는 $Km^{r}$ 유전자가 염색체에 삽입되어 있었다. 무심천의 자연계 수질환경에서는 DK1 이나 DKB701 이 donor 일 때 4개 및 8개의 plasmid 가 새로 나타났으며, $Km^{r}$ 유전자는 재배열된 4개의 plasmid 와 염색체에서 발견되었다. DKC600 이 donor 일 때는 recipient 의 작은 plasmid 가 모두 소실되었으나, $Km^{r}$ 유전자는 새로 나타난 plasmid 와 염색체에서 발견되었다. 그러므로 자연환경에서의 수질에서는 plasmid 의 재배열이 더 다양했으며, $Km^{r}$ 유전자도 다양한 크기로 재배열된 plasmid 에서 발견되었다.

  • Pseudomonas rhodesiae KK1은 이미 주요한 환경오염물질인 anthracene, naphthalene, phenanthrene과 같은 다환성 방향족 화합물(PAHs)을 분해할 수 있음을 보고한 바 있다. 흥미롭게도, superoxide dismutase를 비롯한 항산화 유전자는 환경오염물질에 반응하여 다른 수준으로 발현됨이 알려져 있다. 본 연구는 균주 KK1에서 PAHs 분해에 간접적으로 관계될 것으로 여겨지는 superoxide dismutase 유전자의 존재를 동정하고 세 가지 PAHs를 기질로 하여 생장한 세포에서 superoxide dismutase 유전자의 발현 양상을 조사하고자 수행하였다. P. rhodesiae KK1에서 항산화 기작에 관여하는 두 가지지 형의 superoxide dismutase인 Mn-superoxide dismutase (sodA)와 Fe-superoxide dismutase (sodB) 유전자를 동정하고 그 특성을 규명하였다. 균주 KK1에서 발견된 sodA 유전자는 141개의 아미노산 유전자를 기준으로 P. fluorescens Pf-5의 Mn-sod와 95%, sodB 유전자는 135개 아미노산을 기준으로 P. fluorescens Pf-5의 Fe-sod와 99%의 가장 높은 상동성을 나타내었다. sod 유전자 단편을 탐침자로 사용한 Southern 혼성화 반응 결과 적어도 두 개 이상의 superoxide dismutase 유전자가 균주 KK1에 존재함을 규명하였다. RT-PCR 분석을 통해 sodA 및 sodB 유전자들은 anthracene보다 naphthalene과 phenanthrene에 반응하여 더 강하게 발현함을 보여주었다. 포도당과 PAHs를 기질로 사용하여 생장한 세포에서 sodA와 sodB 유전자는 활성 상태로 존재함이 밝혀졌다.

  • The ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyltransferase (egt) gene isolated from Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmNPV) K1 strain was compared to its homologue from Autographa californica NPV (AcNPV) and Bm NPV T3. The egt gene of BmNPV-K1 encoded 506 amino acid open reading frame, and was 99.6% identical at the amino acid level and 99.2% identical at the nucleotide level to BmNPV T3. The BmNPV-K1 egt gene showed highly identity to AcNPV and BmNPV T3 strain. The BmNPV-K1 egt gene was different from amino acid sequence at 2 positions, 19 and 72, in BmNPV T3. The genomic location of egt gene in the BmNPV-K1 was confirmed by Southern blot analysis and its expression patterns at the transcriptional level in the infected cells were confirmed by Northern hybridization analysis. Transcripts of the egt of Bm NPV-K1 peaked around 12 hrs postinfection (p.i.) and reduced at 24 hrs p.i.

  • Pseudorabies is caused by Pseudorabies virus (PRV: Aujeszky's disease virus) of Herpesviridae that is characterized by 100 to 150nm in size with a linear double-stranded DNA molecule with of approximately $90{\times}10^6Da$. This disease affects most of domestic animals such as swine, cattle, dog, sheep, cat, chicken, etc. causing high mortality and economic losses. In swine, young piglets show high mortality and pregnant sows, reproductive failures. However the adult swine reveals no clinical signs in general. But they become a carrier state and play an important role for propagation of the disease. In this study, the nucleotide sequence of major casid protein gene of PRV, Yangsan strain isolated from the diseased swine in Korea was analyzed, and the recombinant MCP was produced by expression of the MCP gene in Sf-9 cell using baculovirus transfer vector system. As result, in BamHI digestion, MCP gene locus of PRV YS strain showed different from that of Indiana S strain. The patterns of enzyme mapping were also found to be unidentical each other. The sequence of the MCP gene partially analyzed showed 98.09% identity to Indiana S strain. The expression of MCP in Sf-9 cell cotransfected by pVLMCP-44 baculovirus expression vector was characterized by Southern blot hybridization, immunofluoresent and immunocytochemical tests, SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. The rMCP with M.W. 142kDa was most effectively expressed in Sf-9 cells at the 3-4th days post inoculation of the recombinant baculovirus by 2 moi.

  • To characterize plasmids in Xanthomonu axonopodis pv. glycines, we isolated plasmids pAG1 from the strain AG1 and pXAG81 and PXAG82 from the strain Bra, respectively, and sequenced three plasmids. The size of plasmids, pAG1, pXAG81, and pXAG82 was 15,149-base pairs (bp), 26,727-bp, and 1,496-bp, respectively Fifteen and twenty six possible open reading frames (ORFs) were present in pAG1 and pXAG81, respectively. Only one ORF homologous to a rep gene of Xylella fastidiosa was present in pXAG82. pAG1 contained genes homologous to avrBs3, tnpA, tnpR, repA, htrA, three parA genes, M.XmaI, R.XmaI, and six hypothetical proteins. pXAG81 contained genes homologous to avrBs3, tnpA, tnpR, repA, htrA, two parA genes, pemI, pemK, mobA, mobB, mobC, mobD, mobE, trwB, traF, traH, ISxac2, and eleven hypothetical proteins. Based on DNA sequence analysis, we presume that pXAG81 is a conjugal plasmid. Interestingly, we found 0.5-kb truncated avirulence gene similar to aurXacE3 on the right border of avrBs3 homolgs of pAG1 and pXAG81. Two hundred twenty five isolates were analyzed to find aurBS3 or tra gene homologs by Southern hybridization. The numbers of avrBs3 homolog varied from 3 in AG1 to 8 in AG166. Two hundred seventeen isolates appeared to can conjugative plasmids (pXAG81 type), and thirty eight isolates appeared to carry non-conjugative plamids (pAGl type). This indicated that aurBs3 gene homologs might be spread by conjugation in X. axonopodis pv. glycines.

  • A 4.4 kb DNA fragment encompassing lacA (galactoside acetyltransferase) and lacZ($\beta$-galactosidase) genes from Lactococus lactis ssp. lactis ATCC 7962 (L. lactis 7962) was introduced ito a Lac strain, Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis MG1363 (L. lactis MG1363) by using a lactococcal expression vector, pMG36e and expression level of lacZ was examined. Growth rates and $\beta$-galactosidase ($\beta$-gal) activities of MG1363 cells carrying recombinant plasmid, pMLZ3, on M17 broth containing different carbon sources (1%, w/v) were examined. Contrary to the expectations, MG1363 [pMLZ3] grown on lactose showed the lowest enzyme activity (17 units) and cells grown on galactose had the highest $\beta$-gal activity (41 units). Cells grown on glucose had intermediate activity (33 units). These activities are about one tenth of the values observed in L. lactis 7962 where lacZ is present as a single-copy gene in the chromosome. When the cellular concentrations of lacZ transcript were examined using slot blot hybridization, it was found that MG1363[pMLZ3] produced sufficient amounts of transcript. These results indicate that either proteolytic degradation of $\beta$-gal or other regulatory mechanism prevent the translation or accumulation of $\beta$-gal in L. lactis MG1363 cells. In regard to regulation, the presence of the ccpA gene in L. lactis MG1363 was confirmed by Southern blot.

  • Escherichia coli O157 is an important pathogenic organism which causes diarrhea, haemorrhagic colitis, and haemolytic ureamic syndrome (HUS) in human. E. coli O157 KNIH317 was isolated form patients suffering with HUS in Korea. We designed a primer set for cloning shiga-like toxin (slt) gene. The amplified PCR product was used to Southern and colony hybridization as a probe. As a result, we cloned 4.5-kb KpnI fragment containing the slt gene encoding shiga-like toxin from chromosomal DNA of E. coli O157 KNIH317. This recombinant plasmid was named pOVT45. E. coli XL1-Blue harboring pOVT45 showed cytotoxicity in Vero cells. We sequenced the slt gene of this strain. The A-subunit gene of the slt was composed of 960 base pairs with ATG initiation codon and TAA terminationcodon. The B-subunit was composed of 270 base paris with ATG initiation codon and TGA termination codon. Nucleotide sequence comparison of the slt gene exhibited 100%, 98.4%, 93.7%, and 93.7% identity with that of shiga-like toxin type II (sltII) of E. coli bacteriophage 933W, variant slt of E. coli, slt of E. coli, and variant sltII of E. coli, respectively. From these results, it was concluded that the cloned slt gene belongs to SltII family and that the strain used in this study may be a lysogeny of E. coli bcteriphage 933W.
