  • BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Chronic colitis is a risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC) development in both animals and humans. Previously, we reported that a diet rich in protein (with casein as the protein source) significantly increased the risk of mouse CRC development in a dose-dependent manner. In this study, we investigated the effects of different protein sources on the risk of colitis development. MATERIALS/METHODS: Balb/c mice were divided into 7 experimental groups: 20% casein (20C), 20C-dextran sulfate sodium (DSS), 40% casein-DSS (40CD), 40% whey protein-DSS (40WD), 40% soy protein-DSS (40SD), 40% white meat-DSS (40WMD), and 40% red meat-DSS (40RMD). Mice were fed an experimental diet for 4 wk and received 3% DSS in their drinking water for 6 days during the 4th wk of the experimental period. RESULTS: Compared to other groups, the 40CD group showed the most aggravated colitis with increased disease activity and inflammatory markers. In the 40RMD group, interleukin (IL)-6 levels were the highest among all the groups. The 40SD group showed conflicting effects, for example, elevated mortality and disease activity but decreased nitric oxide (NO) levels. The 40WD group showed attenuated colitis with increased IL-10 levels and decreased NO levels. The 40WMD group showed conflicting effects, including decreased NO levels and elevated fecal lipocalin-2 and IL-6 levels. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that, at levels of 40% in the diet, casein and red meat exacerbate colitis, whereas whey protein mitigates it the most effectively.

  • This study is to evaluate the drought-related bigdata characteristics published from South Korean by developing crawler. The 5 years (2013 ~ 2017) drought-related posted articles were collected from Korean internet search engine 'NAVER' which contains 13 main and 81 local daily newspapers. During the 5 years period, total 40,219 news articles including 'drought' word were found using crawler. To filter the homonyms liken drought to soccer goal drought in sports, money drought economics, and policy drought in politics often used in South Korea, the quality control was processed and 47.8 % articles were filtered. After, the 20,999 (52.2 %) drought news articles of this study were classified into four categories of water deficit (WD), water security and support (WSS), economic damage and impact (EDI), and environmental and sanitation impact (ESI) with 27, 15, 13, and 18 drought-related keywords in each category. The WD, WSS, EDI, and ESI occupied 41.4 %, 34.5 %, 14.8 %, and 9.3 % respectively. The drought articles were mostly posted in June 2015 and June 2017 with 22.7 % (15,097) and 15.9 % (10,619) respectively. The drought news articles were spatiotemporally compared with SPI (Standardized Precipitation Index) and RDI (Reservoir Drought Index) were calculated. They were classified into administration boundaries of 8 main cities and 9 provinces in South Korea because the drought response works based on local government unit. The space-time clustering between news articles (WD, WSS, EDI, and ESI) and indices (SPI and RDI) were tried how much they have correlation each other. The spatiotemporal clusters detection was applied using SaTScan software (Kulldorff, 2015). The retrospective and prospective cluster analyses were conducted for past and present time to understand how much they are intensive in clusters. The news articles of WD, WSS and EDI had strong clusters in provinces, and ESI in cities.

  • Kinesin-I은 4분자의 단백질로 구성되어 있으며, N-말단의 motor 영역과 C-말단영역을 가지는 장쇄(KHC, 또한 KIF5s로도 통용) 2분자와 KIF5s (KIF5A, KIF5B와 KIF5C)의 줄기영역과 결합하는 단쇄(KLC) 2분자로 구성되어 있다. KIF5A의 결합 단백질을 동정하기 위하여 효모 two-hybrid system을 사용하여 특이적으로 결합하는 heterotrimeric G 단백질의 ${\beta}$ 단위체 단백질($G{\beta}$)을 분리하였다. $G{\beta}$은 KIF5A의 808에서 935아미노산 부위와 결합하며, 다른 KIF5들과도 결합함을 효모 two-hybrid assay로 확인하였다. 또한 $G{\beta}$의 WD40 반복 서열은 KIF5A와의 결합에 필수영역임을 확인하였으며, 이러한 단백질간의 결합은 Glutathione S-transferase (GST) pull-down assay를 통하여 확인하였다. 생쥐의 뇌 파쇄액에 KIF5들의 항체로 면역침강을 행하여 heterotrimeric G 단백질을 확인한 결과, KIF5들은 heterotrimeric G 단백질과 특이적으로 같이 침강하였다. 이러한 결과들은 kinesin-I는 heterotrimeric G 단백질이 포함된 소포를 미세소관을 따라 이동시킴을 시사한다.

  • Gypsum products are used for the preparation of stone casts of oral and maxillofacial structures and as important adjuncts to dental laboratory operations involved in the production of dental prosthesis. Accuracy and dimensional stability over time are properties of concern in fixed prothodontics. Gypsum products used in denstry are a form calcium sulfate hemihydrate and are classified as 1 of 5 types according to International Standard Organization(ISO) 6873. All die materials exhibit some dimensional change during setting, but expansion and contraction during setting and dimensional changes in response to varations in temperature and the water-powder ratio must be minimal. Although numerous investigators have studied the properties of die materials, several products have been introduced recently with manufacturer claims of superior dimensional stalility. The aim of this study was to determine the surface properties using various separating materials of dental gypsum products The results were as follows 1. In the comparison of first and second plaster distances before separation in different separating agent, there was no significant difference except using Trio separating agent. The interface using Trio separating agent forms like to pores. 2. In the comparison of first and second plaster distances after separation in different separating agent, there was significant difference. The interface of plasters using WD-40, Trio and Vaseline was showed some gaps. Each they were measured at average 7.97 $\pm$ 2.07 ${\mu}m$, 63.09 $\pm$ 23.25 ${\mu}m$, 27.59 $\pm$ 4.19 ${\mu}m$. 3. In the comparison of the surface, the surface of control sample(using none seperating agent) showed irregular properties and the surface using Trio and Vaseline become wrinkled. Specially the surface using Vaseline was showed shiny properties. But the surface using MAGIC SEP, Plaster seperating agent, WD-40 showed regular properties.

  • Dynamin-related protein 2A (AtDRP2A, formally ADL6), a member of the dynamin family, is critical for protein trafficking from the TGN to the central vacuole. However, the mechanism controlling its activity is not well understood in plant cells. We isolated Arabidopsis sec13 homolog1 (AtSeh1) that interacts with AtDRP2A by a yeast two-hybrid screening. AtSeh1 has four WD40 motifs and amino acid sequence homology to Sec13, a component of COPII vesicles. Coimmunoprecipitation and protein pull-down experiments demonstrated specific interaction between AtSeh1 and AtDRP2A. AtSeh1 bound to the pleckstrin homology domain of AtDRP2A in competition with the C-terminal domain of the latter, and this resulted in inhibition of the interaction between AtDRP2A and PtdIns3P in vitro. AtSeh1 localized to multiple locations: the nucleus, the prevacuolar compartment and the Golgi complex. Based on these results we propose that AtSeh1 plays a role in regulating cycling of AtDRP2A between membrane-bound and soluble forms.

  • Recently, the various driving simulator have been used widely to analyze the handling performance of vehicle and to verify the motion control algorithm of vehicle. In this study, a virtual driving simulator based on the 20-DOF vehicle model is realized to estimate the handling performance and stability of a 4WS (Four-wheel-steering) and/or 4n(Four-wheel-driving) vehicle. Especially the DC motor controlled 4WS actuator is modelled in order to reflect the effect of the responsiveness of actuator on the handling performance and stability. And the realized simulator can be applied to develope a real time simulation system for designing and testing the real vehicles.

  • 파킨슨병은 두번째로 많이 발병하는 퇴행성 신경질환이며 약 5-10%는 유전된다. Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2(LRRK2)는 그 돌연변이의 일부가 파킨슨병을 일으키는 유전자이다. LRRK2에는 인산화효소와 GTPase 기능이 있는 도메인과 함께 단백질 상호작용에 관여하는 Leucine-rich repeat (LRR), WD40 도메인이 존재하여, LRRK2와 상호작용하는 단백질이 파킨슨병 발병에 중요한 역할을 함을 암시한다. 우리는 이러한 LRRK2와 상호작용하는 단백질을 규명하여 그 단백질의 세포내 기능을 통해 역으로 LRRK2의 기능을 밝히고자 하였다. NIH3T3 세포 용해물을 LRRK2 항체와 IgG로 각각 면역침강하여 LRRK2 항체 침강반응에서만 특이적으로 나타나는 단백질 밴드를 질량 분석한 결과, methionyl-tRNA synthetase (MRS)로 나타났다. LRRK2와 MRS의 상호작용은 면역침강반응과 GST-pull down assay를 통해 확인됐다. 병을 유발하는, LRRK2의 돌연변이인 G2019S가 인산화효소 활성을 증가시키므로 LRRK2가 MRS를 인산화하는 지를 조사한 결과, LRRK2재조합단백질은 MRS 단백질을 인산화 하지 않았다. 또한 이들 두 단백질의 각각의 양 증가가 상대 단백질의 양 증가, 즉 안정성에 영향을 미치는 지를 조사하였으나 안정성의 변화를 관찰하지 못하였다. 결론적으로, MRS는 LRRK2와 상호작용을 하지만 LRRK2 인산화효소의 기질은 아니다.

  • A. nidulans ${\alpha}$-COP과 상호작용하는 단백질을 동정하기 위하여 ${\alpha}$-COP을 암호하는 유전자를 bait로 yeast two-hybrid 스크리닝용 A. nidulans cDNA 라이브러리를 탐색한 결과, COPI 소낭의 구성요소 중 하나인 ${\varepsilon}$-COP을 암호화하고 있는 유전자를 동정하고 $aneA^+$($\underline{A}$spergillus $\underline{n}$idulans $\underline{e}$psilon-COP, $AN{\varepsilon}$-COP)으로 명명하였다. $aneA^+$ 유전자는 총 296개의 아미노산을 암호화하고 있으며, 다른 균류의 ${\varepsilon}$-COP과 높은 상동성을 보였다. Yeast two hybrid 시스템으로 두 단백질 간의 상호작용 부위를 분석한 결과, ${\alpha}$-COP의 COOH 도메인과 ${\varepsilon}$-COP의 C-말단부가 필수 부위였으며, ${\alpha}$-COP N-말단의 WD 도메인과 ${\varepsilon}$-COP의 TPR 부위는 두 단백질 간의 결합을 촉진하는 조절부위로 밝혀졌다. 또한 사상균인 A. nidulans와 효모류인 S. cerevisiae에서 ${\alpha}$-COP과 ${\varepsilon}$-COP 간 작용양상이 유사한 것으로 보아, COPI 소낭의 구성요소인 ${\alpha}$-COP과 ${\varepsilon}$-COP 간의 상호작용 기전은 진핵세포 내에서 진화적으로 잘 보존되어 있는 것으로 추정되었다.
