  • c-myc proto-oncogene은 여러 세포들의 분화와 형질전화에 뿐만 아니라 정상세포의 분열조절에도 관여한다고 알려져왔다. 특히 생쥐의 초기배아에서 c-myc mRNA가 발현되고 antisense c-myc oligomer의 미세주입에 의해 배발생이 억제된다는 연구결과는 c-myc이 초기배아의 발생 및 분열에 관여하는 것을 시사한다. 그러나 최근까지 초기배아에 존재하는 c-myc promoter의 기능적 활성화에 관한 연구는 미진하였다. 이를 위하여, c-myc promoter와 대장균의 lacZ 유전자를 결합시킨 두 종류의 vector(pcmyc-Gall, pcmyc-Ga12)를 만들어 수정란의 전핵에 미세주입한 후, 배 발생에 따른 c-myc promoter의 활성화를 lacZ 유전자의 산물인 $\beta$-galactosidase 에 의한 X-gal 염색으로 조사하였다. 미세주입된 초기 배아는 2세포기 배아를 포함하는 여러 발생단계에서 $\beta$-galactosidase 의 활성을 보였다. 이는 c-myc 유전자가 배아의 게놈유전자로부터 발현되며, 또한 궁극적으로 초기 배아의 발생과정에 중요한 역할을 하고 있음을 시사하고 있다.

  • VRI bands CCD photometric observations of the BL Lac object OJ 287 have been carried out during the period from October, 1994 to May, 1996. OJ 287 underwent two major outbursts during our observations. The first peak (V14.0 mag.) occurred in the first half of November, 1994 and faded out to 16.5 mag within 150 days. The second peak (14.0 mag.) was observed in late December, 1995. The latter peak continued at nearly the same brightness until May, 1996. Such a long lasting outburst has never been reported for OJ 287. Color indices (V - R and V-I) remained nearly constant during the outbursts.

  • Satellite remote sensing technology for ocean observation has evolved considerably in these last twenty years. Ocean color is one of the most important parameters of ocean satellite measurements. This paper describes a remote sensing of ocean color data project - Asian I-Lac Project; it also introduces several case studies using satellite images in the Asian waters. The Asian waters are related to about 30 Asian countries, representing about 60% of the world population. The project aims at generating long-term time series images (planned for 10 years from 1996 to 2006) by combining several ocean color satellite data, i.e., ADEOS-I OCTS and SeaWiFS, and some other sensors. Some typical parameters that could be measured include Chlorophyll- a (Chl-a), Colored Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM), and Suspended Material (SSM). Reprocessed OCTS images display spatial variation of Chl-a, CDOM, and SSM in the Asian waters; a short term variability of phytoplankton blooms was observed in the Gulf of Oman in November 1996 by analyzing OCTS and NOAA sea surface temperature (SST); Chl-a concentrations derived from OCTS and SeaWiFS have also been evaluated in coastal areas of the Taiwan Strait, the Gulf of Thailand, the northeast Arabian Sea, and the Japan Sea. The data system provides scientists with capability of testing or developing ocean color algorithms, and transferring images for their research. We have also analyzed availability of OCTS images. The results demonstrate the potential of long-term time series of satellite ocean color data for research in marine biology, and ocean studies. The case studies show multiple applications of satellite images on monitoring of coastal environments in the Asian Waters.

  • A lactic acid bacteria with ${\beta}$-gal activity was isolated from Kimchi, a traditional fermented vegetable food in Korea. The isolate was identified as a Lactococcus lactis strain and named L. lactis A2. The gene encoding ${\beta}$-gal of L. lactis A2 was cloned as a 5.8 kb PstI fragment. DNA sequencing identified the complete lacA (galactoside acetyltransferase)-lacZ (${\beta}$-galactosidase) genes together with the 3' part of upstream galT (galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase), and the 5'region of downstream galE (UDP-galactose-4-epimerase) genes. L. lactis A2 had the same gal/lac operon structure as in L. lactis subsp. lactis 7962. Other genes of the Leloir pathway are most likely to be located in the 5'upstream of the 5.8 kb fragment on the A2 chromosome. Sequences downstream of galE were different from those of L. lactis subsp. lactis 7962.

  • 전염성 췌장괴저바이러스 (Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus) DRT 주의 VP1유전자를 대 장균 발현운반체와 Baculovirus에 삽입하여 대장균과 진핵세로에서 VP1단백질의 발현을 연구하였다. 재조합체 pMal-pol 클론 [7]에서 2.7 Kb 단편인 VP1 유전자를 제한효소 XbaI으로 절단하여 Baculovirus 운반체인 pBacPAK9에 클로닝하여 pBacVP1이라 명명하였다. 이 pBacVP1에 클로닝된 VP1유전자를 제한효소 SacI과 PstI으로 절단하여 대장균 발현 운반체인 pQE-30에 클로닝하여 pQEVP1이라 명명하였다. 또한 VP1 단백질의 C-말단에 6개의 히스티딘 $6{\times}His$이 붙어 있는 단백질을 만들기 위하여, pQEVP1 클론의 His부위를 EcoRI으로 절단하고, 또한 pBacVP1을 EcoRI으로 절단하여 생긴 부위에His-EcoRI DNA 단편을 교체시켜 재클로닝하여 pBacHis-VP1을 만들었다. pBacHis-VP1 DNA와 Bsu36I로 처리된 LacZ-Hyphantria cunea nuclear polyhedrosis virus (LacZ-HcNPV)를 함께 lipofectin을 이용하여 곤충세포 (Spodoptera frugiperda cell)에 동시 감염을 시켜서 재조합 바이러스를 선발하여, VP1-HcNPV-1이라 명명하였다. pQEVP1 클론은 6개의 히스티딘 단편이 부착된 VP1단백질을 Ni-NTA resin 크로마토그래피법으로 정제하여 SDS-PAGE와 Western blot으로 확인하였고, 단백질의 활성과 구조에 영향을 주지 않는 6개의 히스티딘 단편 ($6\;{\times}\;His$)이 부착된 94 kDa의 VP1단백질을 정제할 수 있었다. 또한 재조합 바이러스에 감염된 곤충세포에서 VP1 단백질이 발현된 것을 전기영동과 Western blot으로 검색을 한 결과 95 kDa VP1 단백질이 발현이 되었음을 확인하였다.

  • A Saccharomyces cerevisiae pgs1 nulI mutant, which is deficient with phosphatidyl glycerol (PG) and cardiolipin (CL) biosynthesis, grows well on most fermentable carbon sources, but fails to grow on non-fermentable carbon sources such as glycerol, ethanol, and lactate. This mutant also cannot grow on galactose medium as the sole carbon source. We found that the incorporation of $[^{14}C]-galactose$, which is the first step of the galactose metabolic pathway (Leloir pathway), into the pgs 1 null mutant cell was extremely repressed. Exogenously expressed PGS1 (YCpPGS1) under indigenous promoter could completely restore the pgs1 growth defect on non-fermentable carbon sources, and dramatically recovered $[^{14}C]-galactose$ incorporation into the pgs1 mutant cell. However, PGS1 expression under the GALl promoter $(YEpP_{GAL1}-PGS1myc)$ could not complement pgs1 mutation, and the GAL2-lacZ fusion gene $(YEpP_{GAL2}-lacZ)$ also did not exhibit its $\beta-galactosidase$ activity in the pgs1 mutant. In wild-type yeast, antimycin $A(1\;{\mu}g/ml)$, which inhibits mitochondrial complex III, severely repressed not only the expression of the GAL2-lacZ fusion gene, but also uptake of $[^{14}C]-galactose$. However, exogenously expressed PGS1 partially relieved these inhibitory effects of antimycin A in both the pgs1 mutant and wild-type yeast, although it could not basically restore the growth defect on galactose by antimycin A. These results suggest that the PGSI gene product has an important role in utilization of galactose by Gal genes, and that intact mitochondrial function with PGS1 should be required for galactose incorporation into the Leloir pathway. The PGS1 gene might provide a clue to resolve the historic issue about the incapability of galactose with deteriorated mitochondrial function.

  • In our previous study, the first structural gene (GGTI) encoding ${\gamma}-glutamyl$ transpeptidase was cloned and characterized from the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, and its transcription, using the GGTI-lacZ fusion gene, containing the 1,085 bp upstream region from the translational initiation point, was found to be enhanced by sodium nitroprusside and L-buthionine-(S,R)-sulfoximine (BSO). In the present work, regulation of the GGTI gene was further elucidated. Non-fermentable carbon sources, such as acetate and ethanol, markedly enhanced the synthesis of ${beta}-galactosidase$ from the GGTI-lacZ fusion gene. However, its induction by non-fermentable carbon sources appeared to be independent of the presence of the Pap1 protein. Nitrogen starvation also gave rise to induction of GGTI gene expression in a Pap1-independent manner. The three additional fusion plasmids, carrying 754, 421 and 156 bp regions, were constructed. The sequence responsible for the induction by non-fermentable carbon sources and nitrogen starvation was identified to exist within a -421 bp region of the GGTI gene. Taken together, the S. pombe GGTI gene is regulated by non-fermentable carbon sources and nitrogen starvation.
