  • Activating and inhibitory cell surface receptors play important roles in regulation of immune responses. Recent progress has demonstrated that many inhibitory receptors pair with activating, as well as inhibitory, isoforms, both of whose genes are located in small clusters on a chromosome. We and others identified paired activating and inhibitory immunoglobulin-like receptors, designated myeloid-associated immunoglobulin-like receptors (MAIR) (CD300). MAIR is a multigene family consisting of nine genes on a small segment of mouse chromosome 11. MAIR family receptors are preferentially expressed on myeloid cells, including macrophages, dendritic cells, granulocytes, and bone-marrow-derived cultured mast cells, and a subset of B cells and regulate activation of these cells. Thus, MAIR plays an important role in innate immunity mediated by myeloid cells.

  • guanidinoacetate methyltransferase (GAMT) catalyzes the last step of creatine biosynthesis in mammals. Creatine plays an important role in cellular energy metabolism in variety of tissues including brain and male reproductive tract. Congenital deficiency of the enzyme leads to a neurologic disorder in humans. We used an interspecific backcross DNA panel to map Gamt to the central region of mouse Chromosome (Chr) 10 near the locus of hesitant mutation affecting male fertility. We assigned the human GAMT gene to Chr 19 by PCR analysis of a human/rodent somatic hybrid cell line DNA panel, and further localized the human gene to Chr 19 at band p13.3 by PCR analysis of a human radiation hybrid DNA panel. Human chr 19p13.3 is homologous to the central part of mouse Chr 10 where mouse Gamt is located. Furthermore, this part of mouse Chr 10 contains mutant loci the phenotype of which is similar to the GAMT deficiency in human.

  • The present experiment was perform to investigate the frequencies of chromosome aberration with special regard to the chromosome groups and the various time intervals after X-irradiation (60 r) in ormal human foetus cells grown in culture. The cytological preparations were prepared at every 5 through 30 hours after X-irradiation by the air-drying method. 1. The frequencies of chormosome aberration are on the whole decreased as tie elapses after irradiation and this is thought to be due to gradual recovery with time . However, a slight increase in frequencies is observed at 25 and 30 hours after irradiation respectively. This shows that the cells at the these periods are more sensitivity to X-irradation , and those cells are thought to be at G$_2$ and late S stage at the time of irradiation respectively, so t is evident that G$_2$ and late S stages a the time of irradiation respectively , so it is evident that G$_2$ and late S stages are more sensitive to X-irradiation than any other stages. 2. The frequencies of chormosome aberration are decreased in descending order of chormosome group number. The differences among these frequencies are highly significant statistically . Therefore it can be concluded that there is a highly significant difference in radiosensitivity among chromosome groups. that is, the chromosomes of the group A are the most radiosensitive , followed by B, C, D ,E and G in descending order.

  • Background: The MHC region of the chromosome contains a lot of genes involved in immune responses. Here we have investigated the mouse NG29/Cd320 gene in the centrometrically extended MHC region of chromosome 17. Methods: We cloned the NG29 gene by RT-PCR and confirmed the tissue distribution of its gene expression by northern blot hybridization. We generated the NG29 gene expression constructs and polyclonal antibody against the NG29 protein to perform the immunofluorescence, immunoprecipitation and flow cytometric analysis. Results: The murine NG29 gene and its human homologue, the CD320/8D6 gene, were similar in the gene structure and tissue expression patterns. We cloned the NG29 gene and confirmed its expression in plasma membrane and intracellular compartments by transfecting its expresssion constructs into HEK 293T cells. The immunoprecipitation studies with rabbit polyclonal antibody raised against the NG29-NusA fusion protein indicated that NG29 protein was a glycoprotein of about 45 kDa size. A flow cytometric analysis also showed the NG29 expression on the surface of Raw 264.7 macrophage cell line. Conclusion: These findings suggested that NG29 gene in mouse extended MHC class II region was the orthologue of human CD320 gene even though human CD320/8D6 gene was located in non-MHC region, chromosome 19p13.

  • 본 연구는 소핵분석과 염색체 1번 및 4번의 DNA probe를 이용한 FISH 기법을 병행하여 방사선에 의한 소핵과 이수성에 관여하는 각 염색체의 감수성을 평가하고자 하였다. 방사선 선량에 따라 소핵의 빈도는 증가하였으며 염색체 1번과 4번의 이수성도 대조군, 1 Gy 및 2 Gy 에서 각각 2000개의 BN세포 당 9개, 47개 및 71개로 유의하게 증가하였다. 염색체 1번의 이수성 빈도는 4번에 비해 높게 관찰되었다. 염색체 1번 및 4번을 포함하는 소핵도 방사선의 선량에 따라 증가하였으며, 소핵내 염색체 1번의 포함빈도가 4번보다 높게 관찰되었다. 또한 방사선에 의한 소핵 중 낮은 빈도의 염색체 signal를 포함하는 소핵이 관찰됨으로써 방사선에 의한 소핵은 대부분 절단에 의한 것임을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 본 연구 결과 방사선은 이수성을 유도하며 이에 염색체가 다르게 관여할 수 있음을 보여준다.

  • Human personal genome sequencing can be done with high efficiency by aligning a huge number of short reads derived from various next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies to the reference genome sequence. One of the major obstacles is the incompleteness of human reference genome. We tried to analyze the effect of hidden gene duplication on the NGS data using the known example of hydin gene. Hydin2, a duplicated copy of hydin on chromosome 16q22, has been recently found to be localized to chromosome 1q21, and is not included in the current version of standard human genome reference. We found that all of eight personal genome data published so far do not contain hydin2, and there is large number of nsSNPs in hydin. The heterozygosity of those nsSNPs was significantly higher than expected. The sequence coverage depth in hydin gene was about two fold of average depth. We believe that these unique finding of hydin can be used as useful indicators to discover new hidden multiplication in human genome.
