  • The traditional plant imprownent methods consisted of pure line selection, cross breeding, heterosis breeding, polyploid breeding, mutati-onbreeding, ect.Biotechmoiogy is divided into gene spliclng , monocle-nal antibodies , protein engineering , agricultural research, and microbiological engineering. Of these , high plants deal with agricultural research, and the importent part of which is tissue culture and celLculture , Tissue .culture and cell culture are again divided into embryoculture, test tube fertilization, anther and pollen culture, somatichybridization , transformation, recombination, recombinant DNA moleculehybrid plasmid, ect For these haploid production, protoplast culture,protoplast fusion, selection and propagation, ect. , the technical sett-lement is needed.

  • Garlic (Allium sativum) has been used as a general food and a remedy in Oriental for a long time. Since garlic compounds have been also shown to inhibit growth of tumors and to modulate the activity of carcinogenesis, the effects of allicin on growth and survival in human gastric epithelial cells were evaluated by cell viability, cell cycle analysis and DNA fragmentation. Protein levels of cytochrome C, Bcl-xL, Bax and AIF were detected by Western blotting. Effects of recombinant VacA on caspase proteases activity were also determined. (omitted)

  • Saccharomyces cerevisiae Dna2 helicase/endonuclease plays an essential role in removing DNA primers during Okazaki fragment processing in eukaryotic DNA replication. Genome-wide scale co-immunoprecipitation experiments predicted that Dna2 interacts with a novel protein YHR122W (1). In this study, we observed that overexpression of YHR122W gene suppressed the temperature-sensitive phenotype of $dna2\Delta405N$ mutation. To investigate direct interaction between these two proteins, a histidine-tagged recombinant YHR122W protein was expressed and purified from E. coli. Physical interaction between the purified YHR122W and Dna2 proteins was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Further more, the complex formation was most efficient at physiological salt concentration, 150 mM NaCl. The genetic and physical interactions between YHR122W and Dna2 shown in this study suggest that the biological functions of these two proteins may be closely related each other.

  • Expression in the periplasm of Escherichia coli of cloned heavy and light chain cDNAs for Fab fragment of a murine monoclonal antibody MabB9 (${\gamma}2b$, K), specific for human plasma apolipoprotein B-100 of LDL, was studied. For the purpose, a vector for two-cistronic expression of the heavy chain cDNA, at the 5' terminus, and light chain cDNA, at the 3' terminus, was constructed using the signal sequences, pelB (for heavy chain) and ompA (for light chain) in a pET vector system. The constructed vector was transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3). The expressed heavy chain (25 kDa) and light chain (23 kDa) of the antibody molecule were detected in total cell extracts as well as in the periplasmic extracts of E. coli.

  • A cancer-associated antigen gene (CAGE) was identified by serological analysis of a recombinant cDNA expression library (SEREX). The gene was identified by screening cDNA expression libraries of human testis and gastric cancer cell lines with sera from patients with gastric cancer. CAGE was found to contain a D-E-A-D box domain and encodes a putative protein of 630 amino acids with possible helicase activity. The CAGE gene is widely expressed in various cancer tissues and cancer cell lines. Demethylation plays a role in the activation of CAGE in certain cancer cell lines where the gene is not expressed. The functional roles of CAGE in tumorigenesis, the molecular mechanisms of CAGE expression, and cell motility are also discussed.

  • The genetic organization of the urease gene cluster from an alkalophilic Bacillus pasteurii was determined by subcloning and Tn5 transposon mutagenesis of a 10.7 kilobasepair cloned fragment. A region of DNA between 5.0 and 6.0 kb in length is necessary for urease activity. In vitro transcription-translation analysis of transposon insertion mutants of the cloned urease genes demonstrated that the major ($M_r$ 67,000) and minor ($M_r$ 20,000) structural peptides of urease are encoded at one end of the urease gene cluster and at least 3 additional polypeptides are encoded by adjacent DNA sequences.
