  • A 16 kilobase (kb) HindIII fragment of alkalophilic Bacillus sp. YC-335 containing a gene for xylanase synthesis was inserted at the HindIII site of pBR322 and cloned in Escherichia coli HB101. After subcloning of recombinant plasmid pYS52, the 1.5 kb fragment was found to code for xylanase activity, and the hybrid plasmid was named pYS55. The DNA insert of the plasmid was subjected to restriction enzyme mapping, which showed that pYS55 had single site for PuvII and SstI in the 1.5 kb insert fragment. Southern hybridization analysis revealed that the cloned gene was hybridized with chromosomal DNA from alkalophilic Bacillus sp. YC-335. About 64% of the enzyme activity was observed in the extracellular and periplasmic space of E. coli HB10l carrying pYS55.

  • Flammulina velutipes was transformed efficiently by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system. The transformation frequency was about 16% with the gill tissues of the fungal fruiting body. Southern hybridization and genetic analysis suggest that the introduced DNA was inserted onto different locations of the fungal genome, and inherited stably to the next generation via basidiospores. Transformation or gene tagging with Agrobacterium T-DNA based vector should be useful for wide ranges of genetic or molecular biological studies of the mushroom.

  • A double - stranded cDNA fragment (436bp) encoding coat protein of tobacco mosaic virus(TMV) was derived from the total 480nucleotides gene after reverse transcription of TMV RNA, and subclorled into a plant expression vector pBl 121, resulting in pBL 430. The plasmid DNA containing this chimeric gene was moved from E. cofi to Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain A28l, and was introduced in시 the tobacco plant by the Agrobocterium Ti - mediated transformtion system. The transformants were selected on a selection media containing kanamycin. The shoots add roots could be differentiated from the explants and whole plants were obtained. From Southern blot hybridization analysis, DNA extracted from transformants, it could be conformed that the chimeric gene fragment was inserted into the genomic DNA of tobacco plant.

  • We have cloned the Bacillus cellulyticus K-12 avicelase (Avi, E.C.3.2.1.4) gene (ace A) In E. coli. This was accompanied by using the vector PT7T3U 19 and Hind W -Hind m libraries of Bacillus cellulyticus K-12 chromosomal inserts created in 5.cofi. The Libraries were screened for the expression of avicelase by monitoring the immunoreaction of the anti-avicelase (immunoscreening). Positive clones (Ac-3, Ac-5, and Ac-7) contained the identical 3.5kb Hind III fragment as determined by restriction mapping and Southern hybridization, and expressed avicelase efficiently and constituvely using its own promoter in the heterologous host. From the immunoblotting analysis, a polypeptide which showed a CMCase activity with an Mr of 54000 was detected.

  • For large DNA fragment transformation in dicots and monocots, BIBAC2 vector system was applied to Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa L. cv. Jinmi as a model plant, respectively. For Arabidopsis, the Th1 gene in T23L3 BAC clone whose size is about 90 kb was used as the target gene source for transformation. Because T23L3 BAC clone was originally constructed in pBelloBAC11, the target gene was reconstructed into BIBAC2. As the results of reconstruction, 476 colonies were survived in selection medium containing 40 mg/L kanamycin. In colony hybridization analysis, 24 out of 476 colonies exhibited positive signals. In the pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis, 11 out of 24 positive clones exhibited the band at the location of 90 kb. In Southern hybridization, positive signal band at the location of 90 kb was observed in all 11 transformants. Using these verified clones, Agrobacterium-mediated transformation was applied to Arabidopsis thaliana th1-201 mutant for genetic complementation test. Twelve thousands T$_1$ seeds were harvested, and antibiotic selection test is being analyzed to verify whether these seeds were transformed. for rice, COR356 that contains 150 kb human genomic DNA in a BIBAC2 vector was used as the target gene. As the results of transformation, 151 out of 210 co-cultivated calli were survived in selection medium containing 5 mg/L hygromycin, and 45 out of 151 survived calli were regenerated into plants. Transformation efficiency was 21.6%. Progeny test using 71 seeds is being analyzed now. These results provide the potential that large DNA fragments can be transferred into both dicots and monocot by Agrobacterium-mediate d transformation system.

  • The goal of this research was (1) to describe the conditions and parameters required for the cell cycle synchronization and the accumulation of large number of metaphase cells in maize and other cereal root tips, (2) to isolate intact metaphase chromosomes from root tips suitable for characterization by flow cytometry, and (3) to construct chromosome-specific libraries from maize. Plant metaphase chromosomes have been successfully synchronized and isolated from many cereal root-tips. DNA synthesis inhibitor (hydroxyurea) was used to synchronize cell cycle, follwed by treatement with trifluralin to accumulate metaphase chromosomes. Maize flow karyotypes show substantial variation among inbred lines. thish variation should be sueful in isolating individual chromosome types. In addition, flow cytometry is a useful method to measure DNA content of individual chromosomes in a genotyps, and to detect chromosomal variations. Individual chromosome peaks have been sorted from the maize hybrid B73/Mol7. Libraries were generated form the DOP-PCR amplification product from each peak. To date, we have analyzed clones from a library constructed from the maize chromosome 1 peak. Hybridization of labeled genomic DNA to clone inserts indicated that $24\%,\;18\%,\;and\;58\%$ of the clones were highly repetitive, medium repetitive, and low copy, respectively. Fifty percent of putative low cpoy clones showed single bands on inbred screening, blots, and the remaining $50\%$ were low copy repeats. Single copy clones showing polymorphism will be mapped using recombinant inbred mapping populations. Repetitive clones are being characterized by Southern blot analysis, and will be screened by in situ hybridization for their potential utility as chromosome specific markers.

  • H. cunea nuclear polyhedrosis virus (HcNPV) 의 polyhedrin 아미노산 및 polyhedrin gene 의 염기서열을 분석하였다. Polyhedrin 은 SDS-PAGE 상에서 3개의 polypeptide band 가 나타났고 주요 polypeptide 는 약 25 Kd 의 분자량을 갖고 있었다. 또한 polyhedrin 은 17 개의 다른 아미노산으로 구성되어 있었다. HcNPV DNA를 EcoRI 효소로 절단하여 $\alpha^{32}P$로 labelling 된 Autographa californica (AcNPV) polyhedrin gene cDNA 의 probe DNA를 이용하여 hybridization 한 결과 polyhedrin gene은 EcoRI 절편들중 H 절편에 양성반응을 나타냈다. 또한 polyhedrin gene 을 포함하고 있는 EcoRI-H 절편을 pUC8 벡터에 cloning한 다음 이를 hPE-H라고 이름하였다. HcNPV genome DNA 의 promoter 부위를 sequence한 결과 TATA box의 염기배열은 polyhedrin gene 전사 개시위치로부터 위쪽으로 -79 bp 의 5' flanking 부위에서 발견되었다. polyhedrin gene 내 CAAT box는 TATA box 측면 염기 배열에서 나타나지 않았고, 4개의 tandem repeat 5'-CTAATAT-3' 와 5'-TAAATAA-3'의 염기는 polyhedrin gene내 전이 개시 위치로 부터 위쪽으로 -141 과 -108 bp 또는 -83 bp 부위에 존재하였으며, 다른 하나는 전이 개시위치로 부터 아래쪽으로 -52 bp 부위에서 발견되었다. 그리고 polyhedrin gene 내 전이 개시위치로 부터 위쪽으로 -141 bp 부위는 다량의 AT (78%) 염기가 존재하였다. 또한 polyhedrin 의 개시 coding region 은 ATG 였고 종결 coding region은 TAA 였다.

  • We have cloned and characterized an immediate early-1 gene, iel, which is activated immediately upon entrance of the viral genome into the cell nucleus, from Bombyx mori nuclear polyhedrosis virus (BmNPV) K1 strain. This gene encodes a protein 584 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 67 kDa. The promoter and coding regions of BmNPV-K1 ie1 showed high homology with Autographa californica nuclear polyhedrosis virus and BmNPV T3 strain. The BmNPV-K1 ie1 was different from amino acid sequence at 4 positions in BmNPV T3. The location of ie1 gene in the BmNPV-K1 genome was confirmed by Southern blot analysis and its expression patterns at the transcriptional level in the infected cells were confirmed by Nerthern hybridization analysis.

  • 벼의 생산에 있어 가장 큰 문제 요인 중 하나인 벼도열병의 발생 원인균인 벼도열병균은 다양한 기작에 의해 방제 약제에 대한 내성을 가지는 것으로 알려져 있다. 막 운반단백질인 ABC transporter의 경우 환경으로부터의 다양한 독성 물질들을 배출하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이미 알려진 벼도열병균의 게놈 서열로부터 생물정보학적 분석을 통하여 ABC transporter 단백질의 도메인 특성을 보이는 33개의 유전자군 서열을 예측하였다. 이중 3개의 경우는 이미 알려진 유전자로 판명되었다. Southern Hybridization 분석에 적용한 20개의 유전자들이 모두 게놈상에 단일 copy로 존재함을 확인하였다. 새로 예측된 30개의 유전자중 11개는 RT-PCR을 통하여 전사단계에서의 유전자 발현이 확인되었다.

  • 쌍떡잎식물체 형질전환에 널리 쓰이는 Agrobacterium의 binary vector를 이용하여 왜화성을 나타내는 pGA643-rolC gene을 엽절편 transformation방법으로 petunia에 도입하였다. Petunia hybrida의 재분화에 있어 엽조직으로부터 식물체 재분화에 미치는 생장조절물질의 효과는 0.1mg/L NAA와 1.0mg/L BA의 조합에서 높았고 재분화된 식물체도 양호하였다. 식물체 형질전환 선발배지에 에틸렌 억제제인 AgNO$_3$와 KMnO$_4$의 첨가시 형질전환체 재분화율이 높게 나타났으며, AgNO$_3$에 비해 KMnO$_4$처리구에서 보다 많은 식물체 재분화율을 나타내었으나 AgNO$_3$와 KMnO$_4$의 고농도 첨가시 다소의 유리화 현상이 발생하였으므로 3mg/L KMnO$_4$ 첨가가 식물체 재분화에 적합한 것으로 생각된다. 항생제 200mg/L kanamycin, 500mg/L carbenicylin 과 1.0 mg/L BA, 0.1mg/L NAA가 첨가된 형질전환 선발배지에서 엽절편으로 부터 형질전환 된 것으로 추정되는 식물체들을 일차 선발하였고 기외로 이식한 후 genomic DNA를 분리하여 Southern blot analysis법으로 분석한 결과 외래 유전자가 식물체의 genomic DNA내로 삽입된 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
