In order to develop the specific genetic marker for Korean native cattle (Hanwoo), randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis of 6 different cattle breeds was attempted by using 38 decamer primers. In comparison of RAPD patterns, two distinctive DNA bands specific for Hanwoo were detected. One was 296 bp of DNA fragment found to be specific only for female Hanwoo when primer GTCCACACGG was employed. In individual analysis of this RAPD marker was observed only in female individuals with the possibility of $85.3\%$. The other was 521 bp of RAPD marker amplified using TCGGCGATAG and AGCCAGCGAA primers, which showed $83.0\%$ of genetic frequency in 85 male and 68 female individuals tested. Nucleotide sequencing of these genetic markers revealed that 296 bp marker has a short micro satellite-like sequence, ACCACCACAC, and a tandem repeat sequence of microsatellite GAAAAATG in the determined sequence. Two distinctive tandem repeats of microsatellite sequences, MC and GAAGA, were also appeared in 521 bp DNA marker. In BLAST search, any gene having high homology with these markers was not found.

Genetic identification of 17 fish-derived Aeromonas strains was attempted using 5 housekeeping genes. 16S rRNA, gyrB, rpoD, dnaJ and recA genes from the 17 strains were amplified, and total of 85 amplicons were sequenced. DNA sequences of the strains and type strains of the 17 Aeromonas homology groups were used for genetic identification and phylogenetic analyses. None of the strains was identified as a single species using the 16S rRNA gene, showing the same identities (average = 99.7%) with several Aeromonas species. According to gyrB, rpoD, dnaJ, and recA, 9 strains and RFAS-1 used in this study were identified as A. hydrophila and A. salmonicida, respectively. However, the other strains were closely related to 2 or more Aeromonas species (i.e., A. salmonicida, A. veronii, A. jandaei, A. media and A. troda) depending on the genetic marker used. In this study, gyrB, rpoD, dnaJ and recA gene sequences proved to be advantageous over 16S rRNA for the identification of field Aeromonas isolates obtained from fish. However, there are discrepancies between analyses of different phylogenetic markers, indicating there are still difficulties in genetic identification of the genus Aeromonas using the housekeeping genes used in this study. Advantages and disadvantages of each housekeeping gene should be taken into account when the gene is used for identification of Aeromonas species.

우리나라 토양으로부터 분리된 (주와 김 2009) poly (butylene succinate-co-butylene adipate; PBSA) 분해균 Burkholderia cepacia PBSA-7, Bacillus licheniformis PBSA-8 및 Burkholderia sp. PBSA-9에서 PBSA 분해효소를 암호화하는 유전자를 분석하였다. PCR을 수행하여 B.cepacia PBSA-7과 Burkholderia sp. PBSA-9는 약 1.5 Kb, B. licheniformis PBSA-8은 약 600 bp의 lipase 유전자(lip A) 절편을 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 세 균주 모두에서 유전자의 염기서열 내 lipase box인 Gly-X1-Ser-X2-Gly와 Ala-X1-Ser-X2-Gly가 존재하였다. B. cepacia PBSA-7의 PBSA 분해효소 유전자는 family I-1 lipases와 36~40%, family I-2 lipases와는 82~92%의 높은 유전적 상동성을 보였다. 또한 B. licheniformis PBSA-8의 PBSA 분해효소 유전자는 subfamily 1-4 lipases와 64~65%의 유전적 상동성을 나타내었으나, subfamily 1-5에 속하는 lipase들과는 거의 유전적 상동성이 없는 것으로 나타났다. Burkholderia sp. PBSA-9의 PBSA 분해효소 유전자도 family I-1 lipases와 35~37%, family I-2 lipases와는 83~94%로 높은 유전적 상동성을 보여 B. cepacia PBSA-7의 PBSA 분해효소 유전자와 유사한 결과를 보였다.

A peroxiredoxin cDNA (PgPrx) was isolated and characterized from the leaves of Panax ginseng. The cDNA is 716 nucleotides long and has an open reading frame of 489 base pairs with a deduced amino acid sequence of 162 residues. The calculated molecular mass of the mature protein is approximately 17.4 kDa with a predicted isoelectric point of 5.37. A GenBank BlastX search revealed that the deduced amino acid sequence of PgPrx shares a high degree homology with type II peroxiredoxin (Prx) proteins in other plants. The PgPrx gene was highly expressed in leaves, and expressed at a low level in the stem. To analyze the gene expression of PgPrx in response to various abiotic stresses, we utilized real-time quantitative RT-PCR. Our results reveal that PgPrx expression is induced by ultraviolet irradiation, low temperature, and salt. The induction of PgPrx in response to abiotic stimuli suggests that ginseng Prx may function to protect the host against environmental stresses.

RPK118 is a sphingosine kinase-1-binding protein that has been implicated in sphingosine 1 phosphate-mediated signaling. It contains a PX (phox homology) domain and two pseudo-kinase domains, and co-localizes with sphingosine kinase-1 on early endosomes. In this study we identified a novel RPK118-binding protein, PRDX3 (peroxiredoxin-3), by yeast two-hybrid screening. The interaction between these proteins was confirmed by pull-down assays and co-immunoprecipitation experiments. Deletion studies showed that RPK118 interacted with PRDX3 through its pseudokinase domains, and with early endosomes through its PX domain. Double immunofluorescence experiments demonstrated that PRDX3 co-localized with RPK118 on early endosomes in COS7 cells. PRDX3 is a member of the antioxidant family of proteins synthesized in the cytoplasm and functioning in mitochondria. Our findings indicate that RPK118 is a PRDX3-binding protein that may be involved in transporting PRDX3 from the cytoplasm to its mitochondrial site of function or to other membrane structures via endosome trafficking.

Pseudogenes are genomic regions that contain gene-like sequences that have a high similarity to the known genes but are nonfunctional. They are categorized into processed, unprocessed, and unitary pseudogenes. Unprocessed pseudogenes generated by duplications can be problematic in sequencing approaches in molecular diagnostics. We discuss the risk of misdiagnosis when investigating genes with pseudogenes of high homology, and describe a method for identifying these small and annoying differences between parent genes and pseudogenes, including parent gene-specific assay design.

광주근교 지역의 근권 토양으로부터 cetrimide agar medium을 이용하여 형광성 pseudomonads를 분리하였고, CAS medium에서 siderophore의 생성능력이 우수한 pseudomonads만을 분리하여 생리화학적인 실험을 수행하였다. Kanamycin-sensitive pseudomonads를 Tn5를 이용한 mutagenesis를 실시하여 Kanamycin에 내성을 갖는 transconjugants를 선별하였고, siderophore 생합성을 하지 못하는 돌연변이주를 선별하기 위하여 CAS medium에서 yellow hallow를 형성하지 못하거나 King's B medium에서 형광성을 나타내지 못하는 colony를 선별하였다. 선별된 mutants들의 genomic DNA에 Tn5가 삽입되었는지를 확인하기 위하여 Southern blot hybridization을 실시한 결과 intact Tn5에 homology를 나타내는 하나의 single band를 확인하였다.

The oxidation of glycolate to glyoxylate, a key step in plant photorespiration, is carried out by the peroxisomal flavoprotein glycolate oxidase (EC 1.1.3.15). To investigate the altered gene expression and the role of GOX in ginseng plant defense system, a cDNA clone containing a GOX gene designated as PgGOX was isolated and sequenced from Panax ginseng. The cDNA was 692 nucleotides long and have an open reading frame of 552 bp with a deduced amino acid sequence of 183 residues. A GenBank BlastX search revealed that the deduced amino acid of PgGOX shares a high degree homology with the Glycine max (95% identity). In the present study we analyzed the expression of PgGOX under various environmental stresses at different times using real time-PCR. The results showed that the expressions of PgGOX increased after various treatments involving salt, light, cold, ABA, SA, and copper treatment.

The capsid protein of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) encoded by open reading frame 2 (ORF2) is important for neutralizing activity against PCV2 infection. This study investigated the heterogeneity of the ORF2 gene of PCV2 isolated in Korea during 2016-2017. The results revealed that PCV2d is currently the predominant genotype. Moreover, comparison of ORF2 from 17 PCV2 isolates revealed 88.3-100% homology at the nucleotide (deduced amino acid 86.3-100%) level. Interestingly, 61.5% (8/13) of the PCV2d isolates had glycine at position 210. These data provide a useful information for PCV2 epidemiology in Korea.

A new site-specific recombinase sin, as a component of a putatie transposon has been cloned and its base sequence has been determined. The proposed sin shows a hish degree of homology with pI9789-sin and pSK1-sin. There is a large (16 bp) inverted repeat downstream of proposed sin and the postulate dhelix-turn-helix motif is located at the extreme C-terminus of the poposed Sin. The transposase gene (tnpA) and .betha.-lactamase gene (blaZ) are located upstream of sin and arsenate reductase gene (arsC) and arsenic efflux pump protein gene (ars B) are downstream. This genetic arrangement seems to be a part of a new putative transposon because there is no known transposon with a gene arrangement of tnpA-blaZ-sin-arsC.
