  • - Mutation process and substrate induction of 7i-ichoderma viride cellobiohydrolase were investigated by immunological techniques. Since mutants of Trichodemza uiride such as QM9123, QM9414, TKO41 and MCG77 produced immunologically same cellobiohydrolase, it may be that the mutation be occurred in the reguratory gene rather than in the structural gene of cellobiohydrolase. a-Cellulose and Solka Floc were found to be the best inducer for the production of cellobiohydrolase in Trichodemza viride culture compared to low molecular weight inducer such as carboxylmethyl cellulose and cellobiose.

  • In order to evaluated the mutagenic potential of Ag-Os produced by receiving Ag ion at the carrier, 2 types of mutagenecity tests were performed. No mutagenic potential was shown in bacterial reverse multation test using Salmonella typhimurim TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100. No DNA-damaging property was shown in Rec-assay using Bacillus subtilis(Rec+) and Bacillus subtilis (Rec-). These results indicate that the Ag-Os does not cause reverse mutation and DNA-damaging property

  • The pyrimidine(6-4) pyrimidone photoproduct [(6-4) adduct] is one of the major photoproducts induced by UV irradiation of DNA and occurs at TpT sites. The (6-4) adduct is highly mutagenic and specific during translesion replication. The marked preference for insertion of A opposite the 5'-T and G opposite the 3--T of the (6-4) adducts leads to a predominantly 3'-T\longrightarrowC transition with 85% replicating error rate. In order to obtain insight into the origin of 3'-T\longrightarrowC transition induced by the (6-4) adduct, we have performed one - and two-dimensional NMR experiment. The 3'-Tof the (6-4) lesion forms the stable hydrogen bonding to the imino proton of an opposed G, which stabilizes the overall helix and diminishes the highly distorted conformation caused by the (6-4) lesion in the (6-4)/AA duplex. We proposed that the greater insertion of a G over an A opposite the 3'-T of the (6-4) lesion These results may account for the greater preference for the insertion of a G over a A opposite the 3'-T of the (6-4) lesion. Thus this insertion leads to the highly specific 3'-T\longrightarrowC multation at the (6-4) lesion site.

  • Polymorphism of the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene which plays an important role in regulation of lipid deposition was analysed in two red seabream (pagrus major) populations (KF4, cultured KORDI line, n=100 : JPN, imported from Japan, n=100). We amplified a DNA fragment (1,091 bp) including the exon 2 region of the LPL gene, and conducted PCR-RFLP analysis using MspI and AluI. The PCR products were also sequenced. Two alleles (A and B) were found in MspI digestion and Sve alleles (A, B, C, D and E) in AluI digestion. The sequenced data revealed four nucleotide substitutions including one transversion at the MspI recognition site (nt 2,235, $C{\rightarrow}10$) and three transitions at the AluI recognition sites (nt 1,721, $A{\rightarrow}G;$ nt 2,319, $C{\rightarrow}T;$ nt 2,319, $T{\rightarrow}C$). Among them, substitutions at the nt 2,235 and 2,319 sites which are located in the exon 2 were proved to be silent point mutations. MspI polymorphism resulted in 3 genotypes, and the allele frequency was significantly different between the two fish populations, KF4 and JPN. In the case of AluI polymorphism, the 5 alleles (A, B, C, D, E) comprised 12 genotypes of the 5 alleles. KF4 population, alleles D and I were specific to the LPL gene Polymorphisms would be useful DNA markers for red seabream population.
