There are 3 UV DNA repair endonuclease activities in mammalian cells that cleave UV -irradiated DNA. Interestingly, mammalian UV endonuclease III with MW of 26.7kD has a lyase activity on AP sites. It also cleaves the phosphodiester bond within a cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer. Genomic analysis of human repair endonuclease III gene revealed that this gene has 100% sequence identity with ribosomal protein S3 (rpS3). Therefore, rpS3 seems to function both in translation and in DNA repair. This gene of about 6.1 kb contains 6 introns and 7 exons, and the first and fifth introns of human rpS3 gene contain functional U15 small nucleolar (sno) RNAs which appear to be involved in ribosome assembly. It is to be noted that the column profile of the endonuclease activity of rpS3 appears to be altered in Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) group D cells compared to normal cells indicating that this protein is involved in XP disease as well. XP is a human disease characterized by high sensitivity of skin by UV- or sun-light irradiation and by high frequency of developing skin cancers. We also report here that rpS3 protein is involved in other cellular functions.

Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) are small secondary metabolites produced by organisms that live in environments with high volumes of sunlight, is an important group of novel bioactive compounds having immense biotechnological poten-tials due to their UV screening properties and Polypyrrole (PPy) is a type of organic polymer formed by polymerization of pyrrole. A novel composite nanofilm (~60 nm) of mycosporine-like amino acid (MAA) and polypyrrole is synthesized by interfacial polymerization technique. This composite nanofilm is conductive and has strong photoresponse. A photoelectric UV sensor is fabricated by depositing the composite film onto a silicon chip. This UV sensor shows good sensitivity, selectivity and stability for UV detection.

돌연변이원 감수성 hyper-rec type musN 돌연변이주를 recombination 과 mutation에 관여하는 유전자들이 포함된 UvsC group에 포함시켰다. 하지만, rec- 및 UV에 의한 돌연변이가 일어나지 않는 uvsC 돌연변이주와는 달리 musN은 매우 다른 성질을 나타냈다. musN은 uvsC와는 달리 mutator가 아니었다. 또한, UV 조사에 따른 selenate resistant mutation도 야생주와 비슷한 수준으로 유발되었다. 분열하는 musN 세포에서의 UV 감수성 또한 uvsC와는 달리 정상이었다. 이같은 결과는 UcsC group이 branched pathways를 갖고 있음을 나타낸다.

시중에서 시판되고 있는 완성품 선글라스를 고가형 23개, 저가형 55개를 대상으로 비파괴식 검사를 통하여 선글라스의 품질에 대한 분석을 행하였다. 선글라스렌즈의 일반적 광학성질은 규격을 대체적으로 만족할 정도였으며, 재질면에서 HIGH-type은 glass의 비율이 그리고 LOW-type은 Acrylate의 비율이 높았다. HIGH-type의 투과색은 무채색에 근접하였으나 LOW-type은 570 nm와 485 nm를 잊는 선상에 넓게 분포되었다. 렌즈 투과색의 자극순도의 규정을 벗어난 경우는 HIGH-type에서 7%, LOW-type에서 18%였다. UV/VIS cut-off는 HIGH-type의 경우에 350 nm, 380 nm, 400 nm를 초과하는 그룹으로 대별되었으며 LOW-type에서는 350 nm 이하 영역에 있는 경우가 6%에 달하였다. erythemal UV의 투과특성에 있어서 HIGH-type의 경우에는 모두 규격을 만족시켰으나 LOW-type의 경우에는 DIN 규격에서 최대 5개의 fail을 보였다. 또한 Near UV의 투과특성은 HIGH-type의 선글라스에서 더 많은 fail을 보였다. IR 투과특성에서는 LOW-type이 HIGH-type보다 열등한 특성을 보였다. 신호등 인지도의 경우에 HIGH-type은 모두 규격을 만족시켰지만 LOW-type은 21.8%가 만족시키지 못하였다. 대비감도 시력은 L의 증가와 함께 증가하였으며, 측정 거리의 감소와 함께 높아졌다. a와 b의 변화에 따른 대비감도 시력은 a-b 교점에 근접하는 경우 높은 값을 보였다. 선글라스 렌즈의 특성은 투과색, UV, IR, 신호등 가시도, 재질, 대비감도 시력 등의 종합적인 평가에 의해서 이뤄져야 하며 한가지 규격의 획일적 적용을 지양해야 한다. 비파괴식 선글라스 렌즈의 분석에 있어서 HIGH-type의 경우가 LOW-type에 비하여 종합적인 특성이 우수하였다.

We examined the effects of supplementary ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation on the changes in synthesis and degradation of ribulose-I, 5-biphosphate carboxylase /oxygenase (Rubisco) and light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b binding protein of PSII (LHCII), as well as mRNA levels for small and large subunits of Rubisco (rbcS and rbcL, respectively) and LHCII (cab) with leaf age in UV-sensitive rice (Norin I) and UV-resistant rice (Sasanishiki). Both Rubisco and LHCII were actively synthesized until the leaf had fully expanded, and then decreased with leaf age. Synthesis of Rubisco, but not LHCII, was significantly suppressed by UV-B in Norin 1. The degradation of Rubisco was enhanced by UV-B around the time of the leaf maturation in the two cultivars. The levels of rbcS and rbcL were reduced by UV-B at the early leaf stages after emergence in both cultivars. The level of cab was first present at the highest level in the two cultivars, but drastically decreased due to UV-B treatment immediately after leaf emergence in Norin 1. It was proved that synthesis and degradation of Rubisco and LHCII greatly changed with leaf age: Rubisco synthesis was significantly suppressed by supplementary UV-B radiation at the transcription step during the early leaf stages. It was also suggested that the difference between the two rice cultivars in sensitivity to UV-B in the synthesis of Rubisco might be due to the specific suppression not only after transcription but also at transcription.

Sunscreens have been advocated as an important means of preventing skin cancer. UV-induced immunosuppression is important for skin cancer development, yet the effectiveness of sunscreens in protecting the human immune system from UV radiation is unclear. The only currently accepted method of sunscreen rating is the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) based on prevention of erythema. We developed an in vivo non-invasive method for evaluating protection of the human immune system from UV radiation based on recall contact sensitivity to nickel, a common allergen. Using this system we showed that broad-spectrum sunscreens provide greater protection to the immune system than sunscreens which protect from UVB only. UVA was found to be immunosuppressive. We developed this technique to enable the study of solar simulated UV radiation dose responses and determined Immune Protection Factors (IPFs) for six commercially available sunscreens based on limits of protection from the dose response data. We found that the IPF did not correlate with the SPF and that protection from erythema therefore cannot be used to predict protection of the immune system. However, IPF was significantly correlated to the UVA protective capability of the sunscreens, indicating that sunscreen protection from UVA is important for prevention of immunosuppression. We recommend that sunscreens should be rated against their immune protective capability to provide a better indication of their ability to protect against skin cancer.

An ultraviolet pulsed laser ablation of polyimide film coated with platinum has been used to enhance the sensitivity for the application as an electrochemical biosensor. Densely packed cones are formed on polyimide surface after UV irradiation which results in increase of surface area. In order to apply the sensitivity improvement of laser ablated polyimide film electrodes, the glucose oxidase modified biosensor was fabricated by using an encapsulation in the gel matrix through sol-gel transition of tetraethoxysliane on the surface of laser ablated polyimide film. The optimum conditions for glucose determination have been characterized with respect to the applied potential and pH. The linear range and detection limit of glucose detection were from 2.0 mM to 18.0 mM and 0.18 mM, respectively. The sensitivity of glucose biosensors fabricated with laser ablated polyimide film is about three times higher than that of plain polyimide film due to increase in surface area by laser ablation.

The UV-B sensitivity was tested for the intertidal species Chondrus ocellatus from Korea, by measuring photosynthesis estimated as effective quantum yield ($\Phi_{PSII}$) of photosystem II (PS II), growth and content and composition of photosynthetic pigments and UV-absorbing pigments (UVAPs). The $$\Phi_{PSII}$ of the alga decreased with increasing time of exposure to UV-B radiation, followed by fast and nearly full recovery indicating dynamic photoinhibiton. Fresh weight-based growth and pigment contents of C. ocellatus were not seriously affected by UV-B radiation. A single broad peak at 327 nm was obtained from methanol extracts of C. ocellatus, and the absorbance peak increased with increasing UV. The single peak was resolved into three peaks (311, 330 and 336 nm) by the fourth -derivative, and quantitative change in response to UV-B radiation occurred only at 330 nm. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of purified extracts indicated that three MAAs (mycosporine-like amino acids) are present, asterina 330, palythine and shinorine. Field observations during three growing months showed that C. ocellatus exhibit the highest amount of UVAPs in May followed by July and little trace in September, coinciding with the species' phenology. In an ecological context, dynamic photoinhibition as well as accumulation of UVAPs may enable the shallow water red alga C. ocellatus to be well adapted to high UV-B environments.
