The topology of the enzyme has been investigated by biochemical studies including chemical labeling and cross linking. Thirteen subunits(polypeptides) of the cytochrome-c-oxidase have localistic characteristics of existing in the matrix side or cytoplasmic side in the mitochondria. In order to observe the distribution of the enzyme subunit on the mitochondria membrane, immunogold-labeling methods were employed. Antibody was obtained from the serum of immunized rabbit with enzyme subunit antigen which was obtained from cytochrome-c-oxidase of the beef heart muscle mitochondria. Beef heart muscle tissue as a tissue antigen was stained with immunized rabbit IgG and protein A gold complex. Electron microscopy has identified the existance of cytochrome-c-oxidase subunit $Mt_I,\;Mt_{II}\;and\;Mt_{III}$ on the membrane of cristae and outer chamber of mitochondria and the subunit $C_{IV}$ on the membrane of cristae and matrix of mitochondria. Particularly, the subunit $C_{IV}$ was also observed to exist in the sarcoplasm of muscle tissue.

Reticulitermes speratus is commonly found in Asia, including Korea and Japan. We recently analyzed the 5' region of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I to perform a phylogenetic analysis of R. speratus KMT1, isolated in Seoul, Korea. Our results, using COXI, suggest that the taxonomy of R. speratus should be reconsidered with regard to the subgenus group. A similar phylogenetic analysis by COXI and COXII demonstrated the reliability of COXI genetic information in a molecular phylogenetic analysis of termites.

To determine the amount of genetic variation among populations of Penaeus chinensis (Osbeck) in the Yellow Sea, 342 bp region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene was amplified and sequenced. Six haplotypes, which differ by from one to four nucleotide sustitutions, were detected from 34 individuals of 4 populations examined. Mean sequence divergence between pairs of haplotypes was $0.68\%$. Most individuals from 4 populations were shared by the most common genotype. This genotype was distributed evenly in the Korean and Chinese populations. This result is in accordance with findings observed using RFLPs analysis of mtDNA (Hwang et al., 1997). Therefore, it is suggested that P. chinensis should be treated as one unit stock in the Yellow Sea.

The genetic diversity and population history of the Asian shore crab, Hemigrapsus sanguineus, were investigated with a nucleotide sequence analysis of 536 base pairs (bp) of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene (COI) in 111 samples collected from four populations in Korea and one in Japan. In total, 28 haplotypes were defined by 27 variable nucleotide sites in the COI region examined. The observed haplotypes had a shallow haplotype genealogy and no geographical associations. Most of the populations had high haplotype diversity (0.656-0.788) and low nucleotide diversity (0.00165-0.00244), and significant negative values for Fu's $F_S$, suggesting rapid and recent population growth from an ancestral population and sudden population expansion. The pairwise fixation indices ($F_{ST}$) estimated with the exact test and the migration rates indicate that substantial gene flow occurs among these populations as a result of sea currents, except between the Yellow Sea coast of Korea (BUA) and the Pacific Ocean coast of Japan (JPA). These two populations (BUA and JPA) showed significant genetic differentiation and low migration rate.

In this study, the effects of iron on cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) in rat lung mitochondria were examined. Similar to liver mitochondria, iron accumulated considerably in lung mitochondria (more than 2-fold). Likewise, the reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide (NO) content of mitochondria were increased by more than 50% and 100%, respectively. NO might be produced by nitric oxide synthase (NOS), eNOS and iNOS type, with particular contribution by NOS in mitochondria. The respiratory control ratio of iron overloaded lung mitochondria dropped to nearly 50% due to increased state 4. Likewise, cytochrome c oxidase activity was lowered significantly to approximately 50% due to excess iron. Real-time PCR revealed that the expression of isoforms 1 and 2 of subunit IV of CeO was enhanced greatly under excess iron conditions. Taken together, these results show that oxidative phosphorylation within lung mitochondria may be influenced by iron overload through changes in cytochrome c oxidase and NO.

It is becoming increasingly evident that significant changes in gene expression occur during the course of neuronal differentiation. Thus, it should be possible to gain information about the biochemical events by identifying differentially expressed genes in neuronal differentiation The PC12 cell line is a useful model system to investigate the molecular mechanism underlying neuronal differentiation and has been used extensively for the study of the molecular events that underlie the biological actions of nerve growth factor (NGF). In this study, we report an application of the recently described mRNA differential display method to analyze differential gene expression during neuronal differentiation. Using this technique, we have identified several cDNA tags expressed differentially during neuronal differentiation. Interestingly, one of these clones was cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COX I) gene. The differential expression of COX I gene was confirmed by Northern blot analysis as well as RT-PCR. Southern blot analysis of the genomic DNA of PC12 cells revealed that COX I is a single gene. Induction of the oxidative enzyme might reflect the energy requirement in neuronal differentiation.

보구치는 난류성으로 전 세계적으로 널리 분포하며 해양 저층에 주로 서식하는 어종이다. 광양만에 서식하는 보구치의 미토콘드리아 DNA에서 cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) 유전자를 발굴하고 해양 어류종에서의 계통유전학적인 위치를 분석하였다. 발굴된 미토콘드리아 DNA 내 605 bp COI 시컨스의 다중배열 결과 광양만 보구치들에서는 높은 염기서열 상동성을 확인하였다 (98~100%). 하지만 광양만 내해와 외해의 어획지점에 따라 염기서열 변이가 다르게 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 외해지점의 보구치들에서 COI 내 염기서열 변이가 높게 나타났다(43.2~70.3%). 나아가 13종 어류의 COI 계통유전학적 분석결과 광양만 보구치는 타이완에서 보고된 보구치와 하나의 계통군 (clade)으로 묶이고 진화적 거리는 0.036으로 나타났다. 또한 민어(M. miiuy)와 대두이석태(Pennahia Macrocephalus)에 속한 어종과 진화적 거리가 가까운 것으로 나타났다(0.041~0.048). 본 연구의 결과는 국내산 보구치의 분자 계통유전학적 정보를 제공함으로 연안환경에 따른 어류자원 모니터링 및 종다양성 관리에 주요한 유전적 자료로 활용될 것이다.

전복은 전복속(Haliotis)에 속하며 전 세계적으로 식품산업에서 중요한 복족류 연체동물이다. 우리나라에는 6개종; 북방전복(Haliotis discus hannai), 둥근전복(Haliotis discus discus), 왕전복(Haliotis madaka), 말전복(Haliotis gigantea), 오분자기(Haliotis diversicolor diversicolor), 마대오분자기(Haliotis diversicolor supertexta)가 보고되어 있다. 이 연구에서는 우리나라 해역에 서식하는 중ㆍ대형 전복과 4종인 북방전복, 둥근전복, 왕전복, 말전복의 유전학적 유연관계를 분석하기 위하여 미토콘드리아의 cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) 유전자와 Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) 분석법을 실시 하였다. 본 연구의 결과 COI 유전자 분석과 RAPD 분석을 활용하면 4종의 전복 중 북방전복, 둥근전복, 왕전복을 한 그룹으로 나머지 한 그룹을 말전복으로 구분하는 종 분류는 명확히 구분할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 전복 교잡육종을 이용한 수출용 전복 신종자 개발에 있어 주요 대상종인 전복과 4종에 대한 유전적 근연 관계를 규정함으로써 향후 교잡육종 연구의 기초 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The phylogenie relationships existing among 14 parasitic Platyhelminthes in the Republic of Korea were investigated via the use of the partial 28S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) D1 region and the partial mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (mCOI) DNA sequences. The nucleotide sequences were analyzed by length, G + C %, nucleotide differences and gaps in order to determine the analyzed phylogenie relationships. The phylogenie patterns of the 28S rDNA D1 and mCOI regions were closely related within the same class and order as analyzed by the PAUP 4.0 program, with the exception of a few species. These findings indicate that the 28S rDNA gene sequence is more highly conserved than are the mCOI gene sequences. The 28S rDNA gene may prove useful in studies of the systematics and population genetic structures of parasitic Platyhelminthes.

Avian malaria is one of the most important general blood parasites of poultry in Southeast Asia. Plasmodium (P.) juxtanucleare causes avian malaria in wild and domestic fowl. This study aimed to identify and characterize the Plasmodium species infecting in Thai native fowl. Blood samples were collected for microscopic examination, followed by detection of the Plasmodium cox I gene by using PCR. Five of the 10 sampled fowl had the desired 588 base pair amplicons. Sequence analysis of the five amplicons indicated that the nucleotide and amino acid sequences were homologous to each other and were closely related (100% identity) to a P. juxtanucleare strain isolated in Japan (AB250415). Furthermore, the phylogenetic tree of the cox I gene showed that the P. juxtanucleare in this study were grouped together and clustered with the Japan strain. The presence of P. juxtanucleare described in this study is the first report of P. juxtanucleare in the Thai native fowl of Thailand.
