To obtain primary idea on oral bacterium species that are generally present in periodotally healthy Koreans, the oral bacterial flora in the saliva of four periodontally healthy Koreans at different ages (5, 32, 35, 65) was investigated in this study. For this investigation, 16S rRNA gene clone libraries were generated from the saliva of the four healthy Koreans, and 50 clones were randomly selected from each saliva clone library and sequenced. Totally, 37 different kinds of bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequences were identified based on sequence homology search through GenBank database. The 37 kinds of saliva clone sequences were classified to 14 genera and 2 uncultured and 1 unidentified bacteria. Among the 14 identified genera, Streptococcus, Prevotella, and Veillollella were common genera, and Streptococcus was dominant genus that accounted for 7 different species. Among the seven Streptococcus species, S. salivarius appeared as the most common species. More numbers of species belonging to the genera Streptococcus and Prevotella was present in saliva from ages 32 and 35. While saliva from ages 5 and 65 showed more numbers of species belonging to the genera Rothia, including potential pathogenic species. Overall, saliva of a young child and a senior showed higher bacterial diversity than that of young adults.

An RNase P ribozyme library has been developed as a tool for functional genomics studies. Each clone of this library contains a random 18-mer and the sequence of M1 RNA, the catalytic subunit of RNase P. Repression of target gene expression is thus achieved by the complementary binding of mRNA to the random guide sequence and the successive target cleavage via M1 RNA. Cellular expression of the ribozyme expression was confirmed, and EGFP mRNA was used as a model to demonstrate that the RNase P ribozyme expression system can inhibit the target gene expression. The constructed RNase P ribozyme library has a complexity of $1.4\times10^7$. This novel library system should become a useful in functional genomics, to identify novel gene functions in mammalian cells.

성장을 멈추고 있는 원시난포(primordial follicle)에서 난포발달이 개시되어 1차난포(primary follicle)로 발달하는 조절기전은 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 이 초기 난포발달 과정에 관여하는 유전자를 알아내기 위해 suppression subtractive hybridization(SSH)을 사용하였다. 생후 1일과 5일째의 생쥐 난소로부터 얻은 cDNA로 forward와 reverse subtraction을 수행하여 각각 day1과 day5-subtracted cDNA library를 얻었다. 이를 cloning한 결과, 357개 clone의 염기 서열을 BLAST와 RIKEN을 이용해 분석하여 27개의 clone은 novel gene으로 330개의 clone은 데이터 베이스와 일치함을 알았다. 이 중에 기능이 알려진 유전자는 day1에서는 42종, day5에서는 47종이 각각 차이 나게 발현하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. Day1-subtracted cDNA library에서는 GDF8, lats2, septin2, wee1등 4개 유전자를, day5-subtracted cDNA library에서는 HSP84, laminin2, MATER, MTi7, PTP 및 wrn등 6개 유전자를 선택하여 LCM-RT-PCR방법으로 실제로 원시난포와 1차난포에서 차이 나게 발현되고 있는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 얻은 유전자 발현 양상의 결과는 앞으로 생쥐뿐만 아니라 사람 난소에서 primordial-primary follicle transition에 관여하는 기전을 연구하는데 중요한 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

우리나라에서 발생하는 주요 벼 바이러스로써 저항성 유전자원이 없어 현재까지 저항성 품종이 육성되지 못하고 있는 흑조위축병(Rice Black-Streaked Dwarf Virus, RBSDV)에 대한 유전정보에 대하여 연구하였다. 매개충인 보독 애멸구를 이용하여 이병주를 생산한 후 바이러스 입자를 순수 분리하여 전기영동한 결과 10개의 band를 확인하였다. RBSDV RNA로부터 역전사 효소를 이용 cDNA를 합성한 후 ${\lambda}gt11$에 삽입하여 cDNA library를 만들었다. 이 library에서 6개의 단편을 선발하였으며 그중 한 개의 clone(pRV3)은 hybridization을 통해 RBSDV 게놈 조각 3번 유래인 것을 확인하였다. pRV3의 염기서열을 결정한 결과 2개의 ORF의 일부분들을 갖고 있었으며 이것은 바이러스 저항성 작물개발에 이용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

Sau3AI으로 부분절단한 Serratia marcescens genomic DNA(5Kb 이상)을 pUC19의 BamHI site에 삽입하여 total genomic library를 준비하였다. Swollen colloidal chitin media에서 halo를 형성하는 2개의 E.coli 형질전환주를 선별하였다. 이들 colony가 chitinase 유전자를 갖음을 재확인하기 위하여 4-methylumbelliferyl N-acetyl-$\beta$-D-glucosaminide(4-MuFGlcNAc)를 이용하였다. 4-MuFGlcNAc는 chitinase에 대한 기질특이성을 나타내며 형광을 나타내는 기질로서 positive clone들은 360nm의 자외선을 조사하였을 경우 밝은 형광을 나타낸다. pUC19으로 부터 유래된 2 종류의 다른 chitinase clone, pCH1(11.0Kb) 및 pCH2(7.5Kb)를 genomic DNA library로 부터 분리하였으며, 이들의 제한효소지도를 작성한 결과 서로 다른 제한효소지도를 나타내었다. pCH1EA 및 pCH2로 부터 각각의 EcoRI-Xbal fragment를 subcloning함으로써 두개의 다른 chitinase 유전자의 위치를 결정하였다. pCH1EA 및 pCH2를 cross hybridization 한 결과 hybridization signal을 나타내지 않아 서로 유사성이 없는 것으로 사료된다.

In order to clone the gene coding for alkaline phosphatase in the yeast Kluyveromyces fragilis, a genomic library was constructed using the yeast-E. coli shuttle vector pHN114 as a cloning vector. From the genomic library, a clone carrying the gene was isolated and the plasmid was designated as pSKH101. A restriction enzyme map was made using this plasmid. Subcloning experiments and complementation studies showed that alkaline phosphatase was active only in the original 3.1 kb insert. Southern hybridization analysis confirmed that the cloned DNA fragment was derived from K. fragilis genomic DNA. Using a minicell experiment, the product of the cloned gene was identified as a protein with a molecular weight of 63 KDa. A 0.6 kb HindIII fragment, which showed promoter activity, was isolated using the E. coli promoter-probe vector pKO-1.

A cDNA Fragment encoding iron storage protrin generated by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) using highly conserved regions of ferritin related genes were used to sereen a red pepper cDNA library. cDNA clone was designated as Fp1. Fp1 clone contatines a 5' nontranslated region of 51dp containing stop conds. Down stream from 5' UTP. an open reading frame of 750bp was observed. followed by a 3' UTR of 272bp. The deduces amino acid sequence of red pepper protein(Fp1) showed 84%, 48% and 36% identity with soybean(SolC). human(HuL H) and horse spleen(HoS-L) ferritin mRNA accumulation in response to iron. Ferritin mRNA accumulation was transient and particularly abundant in leaves. reaching a maxmum at 12h. The level of ferritin mRNA in roots was affected to a lesser extent than in leaves.

This study aimed to investigate the diversity of the Butyrivibrio group bacteria in goat rumen and its response to garlic oil (GO) supplementation as revealed by molecular analysis of cloned 16S rRNA genes. Six wethers fitted with ruminal fistulas were assigned to two groups for a cross-over design with 28-d experimental period and 14-d interval. Goats were fed a basal diet without (control) or with GO ruminal infusion (0.8 g/d). Ruminal contents were used for DNA extraction collected before morning feeding on d 28. A total bacterial clone library was firstly constructed by nearly full-length 16S rRNA gene cloned sequences using universal primers. The resulting plasmids selected by Butyrivibrio-specific primers were used to construct a Butyrivibrio group-specific bacterial clone library. Butyrivibrio group represented 12.98% and 10.95% of total bacteria in control and GO group, respectively. In libraries, clones were classified to the genus Pseudobutyrivibrio, Butyrivibrio and others within the family Lachnospiraceae. Additionally, some specific clones were observed in GO group, being classified to the genus Ruminococcus and others within the family Ruminococcaceae. Based on the criterion that the similarity was 97% or greater with database sequences, there were 29.73% and 18.42% of clones identified as known isolates (i.e. B. proteoclasticus and Ps. ruminis) in control and GO groups, respectively. Further clones identified as B. fibrisolvens (5.41%) and R. flavefaciens (7.89%) were specifically found in control and GO groups, respectively. The majority of clones resembled Ps. ruminis (98% to 99% similarity), except for Lachnospiraceae bacteria (87% to 92% similarity) in the two libraries. The two clone libraries also appeared different in Shannon diversity index (control 2.47 and GO group 2.91). Our results indicated that the Butyrivibrio group bacteria had a complex community with considerable unknown species in the goat rumen.

서울 근교의 민물 습지(FW), 해수습지(SW), 산림 토양(FS) 그리고 매립지 복토(LS)의 메탄산화세균 군집을 clone library/sequencing 기법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 메탄산화세균인 Methylocaldum, Methlyococcus과 Methylosinus는 FS와 SW에서 풍부하였으며, Methylobacter와 Methylomonas는 FW에서 풍부하였고, Methylocystis와 Methylomicrobium은 LS에서 우점하였다. 메탄 산화가 관찰되기 전까지 필요한 lag phase는 각 토양별로 유의적으로 차이가 있었고, 메탄 산화속도는 $FW{\geq}LS{\geq}SW>FS$순이었다. 이러한 결과들은 토양의 환경조건은 메탄산화세균의 군집과 메탄산화능에 영향을 미치는 중요한 인자임을 시사한다.
