  • This paper discuss about DNA watermarking using coding DNA sequence (CDS) for the authentication, the privacy protection, or the prevention of illegal copy and mutation of DNA sequence and propose a DNA watermarking scheme with the mutation robustness and the animo acid preservation. The proposed scheme selects a number of codons at the regular singularity in coding regions for the embedding target and embeds the watermark for watermarked codons and original codons to be transcribed to the same amino acids. DNA base sequence is the string of 4 characters, {A,G,C,T} ({A,G,C,U} in RNA). We design the codon coding table suitable to watermarking signal processing and transform the codon sequence to integer numerical sequence by this table and re-transform this sequence to floating numerical sequence of circular angle. A codon consists of a consecutive of three bases and 64 codons are transcribed to one from 20 amino acids. We substitute the angle of selected codon to one among the angle range with the same animo acid, which is determined by the watermark bit and the angle difference of adjacent codons. From in silico experiment by using HEXA and ANG sequences, we verified that the proposed scheme is more robust to silent and missense mutations than the conventional scheme and preserve the amino acids of the watermarked codons.

  • The complete nucleotide sequence of the cDNA clone encoding rat skeletal muscle myosin- binding protein H (MyBP-H) was determined and amino acid sequence was deduced from the nucleotide sequence (GenBank accession number AF077338). The full-length cDNA of 1782 base pairs(bp) contains a single open reading frame of 1454 bp encoding a rat MyBP-H protein of the predicted molecular mass 52.7kDa and includes the common consensus 1CA__TG' protein binding motif. The cDNA sequence of rat MyBP-H show 92%, 84% and 41% homology with those of mouse, human and chicken, respectively. The protein contains tandem internal motifs array (-FN III-Ig C2-FN III- Ig C2-) in the C-terminal region which resembles to the immunoglobulin superfamily C2 and fibronectin type III motifs. The amino acid sequence of the C-terminal Ig C2 was highly conserved among MyBPs family and other thick filament binding proteins, suggesting that the C-terminal Ig C2 might play an important role in its function. All proteins belonging to MyBP-H member contains `RKPS` sequence which is assumed to be cAMP- and cGMP-dependent protein kinase A phosphorylation site. Computer analysis of the primary sequence of rat MyBP-H predicted 11 protein kinase C (PKC)phosphorylation site, 7 casein kinase II (CK2) phosphorylation site and 4N-myristoylation site.

  • Laccases (EC 1.10.3.2) are copper-containing polyphenol oxidases found in white-rot fungi. Here, we report the cloning and analysis of the nucleotide sequence of a new laccase gene, fvlac7, based on the genomic sequence of Flammulina velutipes. A primer set was designed from the putative mRNA that was aligned to the genomic DNA of F. velutipes. A cDNA fragment approximately 1.6-kb long was then amplified by reverse transcriptase-PCR using total RNA, which was subsequently cloned and sequenced. The cDNA sequence of fvlac7 was then compared to that of the genomic DNA, and 16 introns were found in the genomic DNA sequence. The fvlac7 protein, which consists of 538 amino acids, showed only 42~51% identity with 12 different mushroom species containing two laccases of F. velutipes, suggesting the fvlac7 is a novel laccase gene. The first 25 amino acids of Fvlac7 correspond to a predicted signal sequence, four copper-binding sites, and four N-glycosylation sites. Fvlac7 cDNA was heterologously overexpressed in an Escherichia coli system with an approximate expected molecular weight of 60 kDa.

  • The nucleotide sequence variation of mitochondria1 DNA were investigated by eight restriction endonucleases from two oyster species, Crassostrea gigas collected from two localities of South Korea and one locality of Japan and C. nippona collected from one locality of South Korea. The total mtDNA size in the oyster, C. gigas, from the three localities was approximately 18 kb and that in C. nippona was 22 kb. The restriction fragment patterns of mtDNA in C. gigas from the three localities by BamHI, BgII, and XhoI digestions were identical to one another. The degree of mtDNA sequence divergence of C. gigas between the two localities in Korea was 2% and that between Korean and Japanese C. gigas was 5%. The amount of sequence divergence between the two species of oysters was 42%.

  • The complete coding sequence of Wild Argali ISG15 cDNA was generated by rapid amplification of cDNA ends. The ISG15 cDNA was 642 bp with an open reading frame of 474 bp, which encoded a 17.47 kDa protein composed of 157 amino acids. Its amino acid sequence shared 97.9%, 80.8%, 91.4%, 94.3%, 78.3% identity with those of ISG15cDNA from Ovis aries (accession no. NM001009735.1), Capra hircus (accession no. HQ329186.1), Bos taurus (accession no. BC102318.1), Bubalus bubalis (accession no. HM543269.1), and Sus scrofa (accession no. EU647216.1), respectively. The entire coding sequence was inserted into the pET-28a vector and expressed in E. coli. The recombinant protein corresponded to the expected molecular mass of 25 kDa as judged by SDS-PAGE, and it was detected in the bacterial inclusion bodies. The expressed protein could be purified by $Ni^{2+}$ chelate affinity chromatography and the results from the lymphocyte proliferation test showed that the product could stimulate lymphocyte proliferation very well (p<0.05), which further confirmed its biological activity.

  • A cDNA of novel immulectin homologue (BmIML), a C-type lectin, was cloned from the silkworm, Bombyx mori. The immulectin cDNA is an open reading frame of 921 bp encoding 307 amino acid residues. The deduced amino acid sequence from the BmIML cDNA contains two C-type carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs). The BmIML was most similar (61 % protein sequence identity) to the M. sexta immulectin-1, whereas BmIML showed relatively lower identity to the B. mori lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (25% protein sequence identity). These features of BmIML indicate that BmIML is a novel member of C-type lectin superfamily. Northern blot analysis revealed that the BmIML is specifically expressed in the fat body of B. moli larvae.

  • Wound inducible P450-Esg cDNA, one of cytochrome P450 gene family, was isolated from shoot of Euiseong garlic cultivar. P450-Esg cDNA possesses highly conserved heme-binding domain in the nucleotide sequence, and 1,419 bp of open reading frame (ORF) coding of 473 amino acids. Based on the nucleotide sequence analysis of P450-Esg homologous from twelve garlic cultivars, two domains, one domain between 472 to 510 bp, and the other between 1,210 to 1,249 bp from start codon (ATG), showed various nucleotide polymorphism among cultivars. Sequence of heme-binding domain in P450-Esg homologous, which is located at the domain between 1,210 to 1,240 bp from start codon, showed various nucleotide polymorphism as well as amino acid sequence polymorphism among twelve garlic cultivars. Anther domain, between 472 to 510 bp from start codon, showed exactly same amino acid sequence in the twelve garlic cultivars, but there were various single nucleotide polymorphism to the cultivars.

  • Molecular amplification and sequencing of genomic DNA that encodes camel polyubiquitin (PUBC1) was performed by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using various sets of primers. The amplification generated a number of DNA fragments, which were sequenced and compared with the polyubiquitin coding sequences of various species. One DNA fragment that conformed to 325 bp was found to be 95 and 88% homologous to the sequences of human polyubiquitin B and C, respectively. The DNA translated into 108 amino acids that corresponded to two fused units of ubiquitin with no intervening sequence, which indicates that it is a polyubiquitin and contains at least two units of ubiquitin. Although, variations were found in the nucleotide sequence when compared to those of other species, the amino acid sequence was 100% homologous to the polyubiquitin sequences of humans, mice, and rats. This is the first report of the polyubiquitin DNA coding sequence and its corresponding amino acid sequence from camels, amplified using direct genomic DNA preparations.

  • A phage clone containing the partial ${\alpha}_{S1}$-casein gene was isolated from a bovine genomic library by using mixed probes of ovine ${\alpha}_{S1}$-, ${\beta}$- and ${\kappa}$-casein cDNAs. Restriction enzyme mapping analysis for 14.6 kb revealed that the map was in conflict with the report of Meade et al. (1990), especially in the 3'-end fragment. Sequence analysis of 12.6 kb revealed a high AT/GC ratio (1.64); we have identified eight exon sequences according to the bovine ${\alpha}_{S1}$-casein cDNA sequence. The same exon/intron splice junction sequence was observed between these exons. We suggest that the bovine ${\alpha}_{S1}$-casein gene night contain a minimum of 18 exons and the full length is approximately 18-19 kb.
