Partial sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene was analyzed to investigate genetic variation from 10 geographic populations of Granulilittorina exigua in Korea. The sequence of 282 base pairs was determined by PCR-directed silver sequencing method. The sequences of two species within the genus Littorina reserved in NIH blast search were utilized to determine geographic variations of species referred. The levels of mtDNA sequence differences were 0.00-2.54% within populations and 0.71-4.43% between populations. There were four amino acid differences between representative species of the genera Granulilittorina and Littorina, but no differences within populations of the genus Granulilittorina. The UPGMA and the N-J trees based on Tamura-Nei genetic distance matrix were constructed, which showed that the genus Granulilittorina was divided into three groups such as eastern (even exception for Tokdo population), southern, and western regional populations. The degrees of genetic divergence within populations of each group were p=0.021, p=0.019, and p=0.018, respectively. The divergence between the eastern and southern populations was p=0.032, showing closer relationship than with the western populations (p=0.052). Based on the diverged time estimation, the eastern and southern populations of Granulilittorina exigua in Korea diverged from the western populations about 2.1 MYBP, and the eastern and southern populations diverged from each other about 1.3 MYBP.

A partial cDNA encoding a Korean radish isoperoxidase was obtained from a cDNA library prepared from 9 day old radish root. In order to obtain Korean radish isoperoxidase cDNA, 5' RACE (rapid amplification cDNA end) PCR was performed and a cDNA (prxK1) encoding a complete structural protein was obtained by RT (reverse transcription)-PCR. Sequence analysis revealed that the length of the cDNA was 945 base pairs, and that of the mRNA transcript was ca. 1.6 kb. The deduced amino acid of the protein were composed of 315 amino acid residues and the protein was 92% homologous to turnip peroxidase, and 46% to 50% homologous to other known peroxidases. The 945 bp cDNA encoding Korean radish isoperoxidase was overexpressed in Escherichia coli up to approximately 9% of total cellular protein. The recombinant fusion protein exhibited 43 kDa on SDS-PAGE analysis and the activity level of the recombinant nonglycosylated protein was two fold higher in IPTG induced cell extracts than that of uninduced ones.

이미 밝혀져 있는 mariner 전이인자의 전이효소를 암호화하는 부위에 대하여 퇴화성 primer를 사용하여 PCR 방법에 의해 누에(Bombyx mori)에서 ariner 유사 전이닌자의 잠정적인 전이효소 부위를 클로닝 하였다. BmoMAR로 망명된 이 PCR 클론으로부터 추론된 아미노산은 152개로 다섯 개의 종결코돈이 삽입되어 있었으며, Drosophila mauritiana의 active Mos 1에 37%의 아미노산 상동성을 보였다. 또한, 기존의 곤충들에서 밝혀진 mariner-like element에 대한 상동성은 DNA 수주에서는 Apis mellifera에 59% 그리고 아미노산 수준에서는 D. mauritiana 7.9 clone에 37% 상동성을 보였다. 이 결과는 mariner-like element가 B. mori에도 존재하고 있지만. 이들 전이인자의 전이효소를 암호화하는 부위에 종결코돈이 발견되는 것으로 보아서 비활성 전이인자 혹은 일존의 selenoprotein으로 추정된다.

The tetrachloroethylene (PCE) dehalogenase of Clostridium bifermentans DPH-1 (a halorespiring organism) was purified, cloned, and sequenced. This enzyme is a homodimer with a molecular mass of ca. 70 kDa and exhibits dehalogenation of dichloroethylene isomers along with PCE and trichloroethylene (TCE). Broad range of substrate specificity for chlorinated aliphatic compounds (PCE, TCE, cis-1,2-dichloroethylene, trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, 1,1-dichloroethylene, 1,2-dichloropropene, and 1,1,2-trichloroethane) for this enzyme was also observed. A mixture of propyl iodide and titanium citrate caused a light-reversible inhibition of enzymatic activity suggesting the involvement of a corrinoid cofactor. A partial sequence (81 bp) of the encoding gene for PCE dehalogenase was amplified and sequenced with degenerateprimers designed from the N-terminal sequence (27 amino acid residues). Southern analysis of C. bifermentans genomic DNA using the polymerase chain reaction product as a probe revealed restriction fragment bands. A 5.0 kb ClaI fragment, harboring the relevant gene (designated pceC) was cloned (pDEHAL5) and the complete nucleotide sequence of pceC was determined. The gene showed homology mainly with microbial membrane proteins and no homology with any known dehalogenase, suggesting a distinct PCE dehalogenase. So, C. bifermentans could play some important role in the initial breakdown of PCE and other chlorinated aliphatic compounds in sites contaminated with mixtures of halogenated substances.

Paenibacillus woosongensis의 유전체 부분 염기서열로부터 유추된 xylanase 유전자를 PCR 증폭하여 대장균에 클로닝하였다. Xylanase 유전자는 211 아미노산으로 구성된 단백질을 코드하며 633 뉴클레오티드로 이루어졌다. 아미노산 잔기배열을 분석한 결과 xylanase는 glycosyl hydrolase family 11에 속하며 Paenibacillus의 xylanase와 85-89% 상동성을 보였다. Xylanase 유전자를 T7 promoter로 과잉발현한 결과 그 발현량이 높지 않았으며, 균체내 외에서 모두 효소활성이 관찰되었다. 재조합 대장균의 균체파쇄상등액을 사용하여 효소 반응특성을 조사한 결과 pH 5.5와 $60^{\circ}C$에서 최대 반응활성을 보였다. 한편 xylanase의 기질로 xylan과 xylooligosaccharides를 사용하였을 때 xylose와 xylotriose가 주된 최종 반응산물로 관찰되었으며 xylobiose는 분해하지 못하였으나 이보다 중합도가 큰 xylooligosaccharides는 분해하였다.

Paenibacillus woosongensis의 유전체 부분 염기서열로부터 mannanase를 코드하는 것으로 유추되는 open reading frame을 중합효소연쇄반응으로 증폭하여 대장균에 클로닝하고 염기서열을 결정하였다. Mannanase 유전자는 man26AT로 명명하였으며 1,053 아미노산으로 구성된 단백질을 코드하는 3,159 뉴클레오티드로 이루어졌다. 아미노산 잔기배열을 분석한 결과 Man26AT는 glycosyl hydrolase family 26의 mannanase와 상동성이 높은 활성영역, 탄수화물 결합영역 CBM27과 CBM11로 구성되어 있었다. Man26AT의 아미노산 배열은 P. ihumii의 유추된 mannanase와 상동성이 81%이고 다른 Paenibacillus 속 균주의 여러 mannanases와 57% 이하의 상동성을 보였다. man26AT 유전자를 함유한 재조합 대장균의 균체 파쇄상등액은 $55^{\circ}C$와 pH 5.5에서 최대의 mannanase 활성을 보였고, $50^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 열처리한 후에 80% 이상의 잔존활성을 보였다. Man26AT는 locust bean gum (LBG) galactomannan과 konjac glucomannan에 대한 분해활성이 유사하였으며, carboxymethylcellulose, xylan과 para-nitrophenyl-${\beta}$-mannopyranoside는 분해하지 못하였다. Man26AT에 의해 mannotriose, mannotetraose, mannopentaose와 mannohexaose 등의 만노올리고당이나 LBG로부터 공통의 최종 가수분해 산물로 mannose, mannobiose와 mannotriose가 생성되었다. 또한 mannotriose 보다 큰 만노올리고당이 LBG와 guar gum의 분해산물로 각각 생성되었다. 그러나 Man26AT는 mannobiose를 분해하지는 못하였다. 활성염색을 통해 Man26AT는 균체 내에서 3개 이상의 크기가 다른 활성 단백질로 분해된 것이 확인되었다.

대구지역에서 수집한 50점의 김치 중에서 10점의 김치로부터 tetracycline내성 세균을 분리하였다. 이 균주들의 tetracycline에 대한 MIC는 25-100 mg/l 이상의 범위로 분포하였으며 다른 항생제에 대한 내성도 다양하였다. tet(M), tet(O)특이적 primer를 이용한 PCR에서 HJ9 한 균주에서만 tet(M)유전자가 검출되었으며, tet(M)은 플라스미드상에 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. HJ9 균주의 tet(M)부분 염기서열을 분석한 결과 기존에 보고된 Gram양성균의 tet(M)의 DNA 염기서열 및 아미노산 서열과 각각 90-99%, 94-100%의 높은 상동성을 보였다. 165 rRNA 염기서열을 분석한 결과 HJ9 균주는 Lactobacillus sakei로 동정되었다. 김치를 통하여서도 항생제 내성 유전자의 전파 확산이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

The limiting sequence and relative ratio of lysine (Lys), methionine (Met), and threonine (Thr) for calves about 2 mo of age fed milk replacers (MR) containing soy protein are not clearly defined. The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of supplementing MR containing 22% CP, half from soy protein concentrate (SPC, 40.56% CP, flour) and half from whey proteins, with Lys, Met, and Thr to estimate amino acid (AA) sequence and their relative ratio for calves about 2 mo of age. A method of partial deduction of AA was adopted. Twenty-four newborn calves (half males and half females, $40.7{\pm}0.9$ kg of BW) were fed 1 of 4 MR diets for 56 d (n = 6/diet). The diets were supplemented with all (positive control) or with 2 of the 3 AAs: Lys, Met and Thr, (i.e., PC (22% CP, 2.34% Lys, 0.72% Met and 1.80% Thr), PC-Lys (22% CP, 1.64% Lys, 0.72% Met and 1.80% Thr), PC-Met (22% CP, 2.34% Lys, 0.50% Met and 1.80% Thr), and PC-Thr (22% CP, 2.34% Lys, 0.72% Met and 1.26% Thr)). Calves were fed thrice daily; starter (20% CP, 1.03% Lys, 0.30% Met and 0.69% Thr), hay (3.23% CP, 0.29% Lys, 0.12% Met and 0.23% Thr) and water were offered free choice. Starter and hay were only offered beginning on d 36 (after 5 wk) and d 43 (after 6 wk), respectively. BW, body size and blood samples measures were taken every two weeks. Three-day total collection of feed refusals, feces, and urine were recorded starting at d 33 and d 54 of age, respectively. From the results, the limiting sequence and relative ratio between the 3 AAs in calves with different diet structures were calculated. The limiting sequence of the 3 AAs were ranked as Lys, Met and Thr; the proper ratio was 100:29:70 for MR-only diet and 100:30:60 for diets consisted of MR, starter and hay. Nitrogen digestion and utilization and nutrient digestibility were negatively affected by AA deletion treatments. From the evidence of this experiment, it did not appear that the AA limiting sequence was selectively altered by differences in diet structures such as would be encountered in practice. The relative ratio between the 3 AAs varied with the offer of starter and hay to calves, and the average ratio was 100:29.5:65 for calves during 2 to 10 wk of age.

The DNA sequence of the chitosanase gene (choK) from $\beta$-Proteobacterium KNU3 showed an 1,158-bp open reading frame that encodes a protein of 386 amino acids with a novel 74 signal peptide. The degenerated primers based on the partial deduced amino acid sequences from MALDI- TOF MS analyses yielded the 820 bp of the PCR product. Based on this information, double inverse PCR cloning experiments, which use the two specific sets of PCR primers rather than single set primers, identified the unknown 1.2 kb of the choK gene. Subsequently, a 1.8 kb of full choK gene was cloned from another PCR cloning experiment and it was then subcloned into pGEM T-easy and pUC18 vectors. The recombinant E. coli clone harboring recombinant pUC18 vector produced a clear halo around the colony in the glycol chitosan plates. The recombinant ChoK protein was secreted into medium in a mature form while the intracellular ChoK was produced without signal peptide cleavage. The activity staining of PAGE showed that the recombinant ChoK protein was identical to the chitosanase of wild-type. The comparison of deduced amino acid sequences of choK revealed that there is 92% identity with that of Sphingobacterium multivorum chitosanase. Judging from the conserved module in other bacterial chitosanases, chitosanase of KNU3 strain (ChoK) belongs to the family 80 of glycoside hydrolases.
