Plant chloroplast DNA exists as an unique circular structure in which large single copy(LSC) region and small single copy (SSC) region are separated by large inverted repeat sequences (IRS). It has been known that the unique existence of inverted repeat sequences in chloroplast DNA has no relation with the stability of the chloroplast DNA, but causes the inversion between inverted repeat its biological significance has not been understood so far. In rice, several gene clusters have been cloned and sequenced which contain ribulose-5-biophosphate car-boxylase large subunit (rbcL). Especially, one rbcL gene is linked with rp12 gene which is located in the IRS region in one of the gene clusters. By comparison of nucleotide sequence, the two genes are found to be linked through 151 bp repeat sequence which is homologous to the rp123 gene in IRS region. The repeat sequence is found to be located 3' downstream of rfcL gene and near psbA gene in LSC region. The existence of these repeat sequences and the presence of gene clusters caused by the gene rearrangement thorough the repeat sequence provide a possible which is found to be dispersed chloroplast DNA provide the model system to explaine the heterogeneity of the chloroplast DNA in rice in term of gene rearrangement.

The Z-DNA domain of human ADAR1 ($Z{\alpha}_{ADAR1}$) produces B-Z junction DNA through preferential binding to the CG-repeat segment and destabilizing the neighboring AT-rich region. However, this study could not answer the question of how many base-pairs in AT-rich region are destabilized by binding of $Z{\alpha}_{ADAR1}$. Thus, we have performed NMR experiments of $Z{\alpha}_{ADAR1}$ to the longer DNA duplex containing an 8-base-paired (8-bp) CG-repeat segment and a 12-bp AT-rich region. This study revealed that $Z{\alpha}_{ADAR1}$ preferentially binds to the CG-repeat segment rather than AT-rich region in a long DNA and then destabilizes at least 6 base-pairs in the neighboring AT-rich region for efficient B-Z transition of the CG-repeat segment.

This paper proposes a novel code-tracking scheme to track the fine code synchronization for BOC (pn,n)-modulated global navigation satellite system signals in a repeat-back jamming environment. The correlation function of BOC (pn,n)-modulated signals has several peaks. The correlation function in the advanced offset region remains almost unchanged due to the repeat-back signals being received later than a line-of-sight signal in the same multipath signal receiving case. Additionally, the combined pseudo-random noise signal can be treated as repeat-back jamming signals, like multipath signals. In this paper, we propose a novel code-tracking scheme utilizing the advantages of using a combined pseudo-random noise signal in the advanced offset region and verify its performance through simulation.

We describe a method for producing polyclonal antibodies against peptide antigen cytochrome P450 1A2 and 3A4 using a tandem repeat of the epitope region and incorporation of proline residue between the repeated sequences. An ELISA assay revealed more efficient generation of polyclonal antibodies to tandem repeat peptide antigens than mono-epitope peptides. The incorporation of proline residues further stimulated antibody production.

The nucleotide sequence of two hypervariable regions of the D-loop and the frequency of the 9-bp repeat in the region V of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were investigated in the Korean population. Alignment of these sequences with the published reference revealed a unique pattern of base substitution and deletion compared with those of other races. The deletion and addition frequency of the 9-bp repeat in the region V was also distinct.

The genetic variability of 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' (CLas) population associated with huanglongbing (HLB) disease of citrus in North Eastern (NE) region of India, a geographically locked region, and home for the diversity of many citrus species was analyzed on the basis of tandem repeat numbers (TRN) in variable CLIBASIA_01645 genomic loci. Fifty-five CLas strains sampled from different groves of NE Hill (NEH) region of India were in single amplicon group, but there was remarkable genetic variability in TRNs. The TRN in HLB-associated CLas strains varied from 0-21 and two novel repeat motifs were also identified. Among the NE population of CLas, TRN5 and TRN9 were most frequent (total frequency of 36.36%) followed by TRN4 (14.55%) and TRN6, TNR7 with a frequency of 12.73% each. Class II type CLas genotypes (5 < TRN ≤ 10) had highest prevalence (frequency of 60.00%) in the samples characterized in present study. Class I (TRN ≤ 5) genotypes were second highest prevalent (29.09%) in the NEH region. Further analysis of genetic diversity parameters using Nei's measure (H value) indicated wide genetic diversity in the CLas strains of NE India (H value of 0.58-0.86). Manipur CLas strains had highest genetic variability (0.86) as compared to Eastern, Southern and Central India. The R₁₀ values (TRN ≤ 10/TRN > 10) of NE CLas population was 10.43 (73/7), higher from other regions of India. Present study conclusively reported the occurrence of high genetic variability in TRN of CLas population in North East Indian citrus groves which have evolved to adapt to the specific ecological niche.

목 적 : 특발성 저신장증 환자에서 IGF-I 유전자 다형성의 역할에 대한 연구는 아직 보고되지 않았다. 저자들은 한국인 특발성 저신장증 환자를 대상으로 IGF-I 프로모터 CA repeat 유전자 다형성에 대한 분석을 실시하였다. 방 법 : 신장 계측에 의해 2007년에 제작된 한국 소아 발육 표준 신장표에 의거하여 나이와 성별에 따른 신장백분위수가 3백분위수 미만인 131명을 대상으로 하였다. 성장호르몬 치료의 분석은 최소한 6개월 이상 성장호르몬 치료를 받은 37명을 대상으로 실시하였다. 유전자형의 분석은 유전자 염기서열분석을 통하여 실시하였다. CA repeat 횟수에 따른 대립유전자의 분포를 조사하였고, 이를 바탕으로 유전자형을 분석하였다. CA repeat의 heterozygous의 분석은 Gene Mapper software를 이용하였다. 혈청 IGF-I 농도는 RIA방법으로 측정하였다. 결 과 : 국인 특발성 저신장증 환자에서의 CA repeat의 분포는 15부터 22까지였으며, 19 repeat가 40.6%의 빈도로 가장 높았다. 유전자형에 따른 분포는 131명 중 17명(13.0%)이 19 CA repeat homozygous 였으며, 74명(56.5%)은 heterozygous, 40명(30.5%)은 19 CA repeat noncarrier 였다. 유전자형에 따른 키, 체중, BMI는 세군 모두에서 유의한 차이가 없었다. 유전자형에 따른 혈청 IGF-I 농도는 19 CA repeat noncarrier군에서 $435.67{\pm}160.29$ ng/mL로, 19 CA homozygous 군에서의 $435.60{\pm}131.51$ ng/mL, 19 CA heterozygous 군에서의 $473.76{\pm}185.01$ ng/mL과 유의한 차이가 없었다. 나이와 혈청 IGF-I 농도와의 상관관계를 분석한 결과 세군 모두에서 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다(P<0.01). 유전자형에 따른 첫 1년 동안의 성장호르몬 치료 효과를 분석한 결과 성장호르몬 치료 후 12개월로 환산한 성장속도는 19 CA homozygote군에서 $7.6{\pm}3.4$ Cm, 19 CA heterozygote군에서 $7.9{\pm}2.6$ cm 그리고 19 CA noncarrier군에서 $7.7{\pm}2.8$ cm로 세군 사이에 유의한 차이가 없었다(P>0.05). 성장호르몬 치료 전후의 신장표준편차점수 차이도 19 CA homozygote군에서 $0.6{\pm}0.2$, 19 CA heterozygote군에서 $0.5{\pm}0.4$ 그리고 19 CA noncarrier군에서 $0.5{\pm}0.4$로 세군 사이에 유의한 차이가 없었다(P>0.05). 결 론 : 특발성 저신장증 환자에서의 IGF-I 프로모터 CA repeat 유전자 다형성의 분포는 15부터 22까지였으며, 19 repeat가 40.6%의 빈도로 가장 높았다. 키, 체중, BMI 그리고 혈중 IGF-I농도는 유전자형에 따라 유의한 차이가 없었다. 유전자형에 관계없이 나이와 혈중 IGF-I 농도 사이에는 모든 군에서 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 유전자형에 따른 첫 1년간의 성장호르몬 치료 효과도 유전자형에 따라 유의한 차이가 없었다. 그러므로 특발성 저신장증 환자에서는 IGF-I 유전자 다형성은 기능적 역할을 하지 못한다고 생각한다.

The nucleotide sequence of pZMO1, a small cryptic plasmid of Zymomonas mobilis ATCC10988 was determined. Analysis of 1,680 bp of sequence revealed $69\%$ identity with Shigella sonnei plasmid, pKYM and $61\%$ identity with Nostoc sp. ss DNA replicating plasmid. Analysis of a deduced amino acid sequence of an orf of pZMO1 revealed $75\%$ identity and $90\%$ similarity with the repA gene of Synechocystis sp. plasmid pCA2.4. The upstream region of the repA gene of pZMO1 possesses six directed repeat sequences and two inverted repeat sequences at downstream of the IR consensus sequence of nick region of rolling circle replication (RCR) plasmid. A typical terminator hairpin structure was found at the downstream region of repA gene. Degradation of single-stranded plasmid DNA by S1 nuclease was detected by Southern hybridization. It suggests that pZMO1 replicates by a rolling circle mechanism in Z. mobilis ATCC10988 cells.

The mitochondrial plasmid pMLP1 from a white-rot fungus, Pleurotus ostreatus, is a double-stranded DNA containing 381 bp terminal inverted repeat (TIR) whose 5'-ends are covalently bound by terminal proteins. The plasmid contains two major open reading frames (ORFs), encoding putative DNA and RNA polymerases, and a minor ORF encoding a small, highly basic protein. To identify the DNA binding activity that recognizes the TIR region of pMLP1, gel retardation assays were performed with mitochondrial extracts. A specific protein binding to a region between 123 and 248 nt within TIR was observed. We examined whether the gene product of mORF1 bindes to this region specifically. E. coli cell extract which contains an overproduced mORF1 protein formed a complex specific to the region between 123 and 248 nt. Inclusion of mORF1 protein in the specific complex formed between P. ostreatus mitochondrial extract and TIR was confirmed by a supershift assay using polyclonal antibodies against the mORF1 protein. Our result suggest that the product of mORF1 may function as a terminal region recognition factor (TRF), recognizing an internal region in TIR.

Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), which is a dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disorder, results from a CTG trinucleotide repeat expansion in the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of the myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (DMPK) gene. Retention of mutant DMPK (mDMPK) transcripts in the nuclei of affected cells has been known to be the main cause of pathogenesis of the disease. Thus, reducing the RNA toxicity through elimination of the mutant RNA has been suggested as one therapeutic strategy against DM1. In this study, we suggested RNA replacement with a trans -splicing ribozyme as an alternate genetic therapeutic approach for amelioration of DM1. To this end, we identified the regions of mDMPK 3'-UTR RNA that were accessible to ribozymes by using an RNA mapping strategy based on a trans-splicing ribozyme library. We found that particularly accessible sites were present not only upstream but also downstream of the expanded repeat sequence. Repair or replacement of the mDMPK transcript with the specific ribozyme will be useful for DM1 treatment through reduction of toxic mutant transcripts and simultaneously restore wild-type DMPK or release nucleus-entrapped mDMPK transcripts to the cytoplasm.
