Our previous report demonstrated that the rhp51$^＋$, a recA and RAD51 homolog of the fission yeast, encodes three transcripts of 1.9, 1.6 and 1.3 kb which have at least six polyadenylation sites. The 3'-end of the gene alone can direct the formation of multiple, discrete 3'ends of the transcripts. To identify the regulatory element required for the 3'-end formation of -rhp51$^＋$ deletion mapping analysis was performed. Northern blot analysis revealed that the 254-bp DNA fragment including 4 distinct poly (A) sites downstream from the Hindlll site, is crucial for normal 3'-end formation. Deletion of the 3'-terminal AU rich region caused appearance of read-through RNA, leading to enhancement of survival rate of the rhp51 deletion mutant in response to DNA damaging agent, methylmethane sulfonate (MMS). The results imply that the rhp51$^＋$ system may be useful for molecular analysis of the 3'-end formation of RNA in the fission yeast.

A defect in uvsC of Aspergillus nidulans caused high methyl methansulfonate (MMS)-sensitivity, hyporecombination, and a lack of UV induced mutation. The uvsC gene of Aspergillus nidulans shares a sequence similarity with the RAD51 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this study, in vitro and in vivo tests were conducted in order to determine whether or not the UVSC protein had functional similarities to RAD51, the recombination enzyme in yeast. The purified recombinant UVSC protein, following expression in Escherichia coli, showed binding activity to single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), when both ATP and magnesium are present. In addition, ATPase activity was also demonstrated and its activity was stimulated in the presence of ssDNA. The UVSC protein that was expressed under the ADH promoter in S. cerevisiae suppressed in part the sensitivity to MMS of the rad51 null mutant. Similarly, when the uvsC cDNA was expressed from the nmt promoter, the MMS sensitivity of the rhp51 null mutant of Schizosaccharomyces pombe was partially complemented. These results indicate that the A. nidulans UVSC protein is a functional homologue of the RAD51 protein.

InP에서 열처리 온도와 시간 및 활성화 온도에 따른 Zn의 확산의 특성을 electrochemical capacitance-voltage 법으로 조사하였다. InP층은 metal organic chemical vapor deposition를 이용하여 성장하였으며, 화산방법으로는 $Zn_3P_2$ 확산과 박막과 rapid thermal annealing를 사용하였다. 최대의 정공 농도를 갖는 p-lnP 층은 $550^{\circ}C$에서 5분 동안 확산과 활성화를 한 시료에서 얻었고, Zn의 농도는 $1\times10^{19}\textrm{cm}^{-3}$이었다. $550^{\circ}C$에서 5-20 분 동안 확산을 수행한 결과 정공농도의 확산 깊이는 1.51 $\mu\textrm{m}$에서 3.23 $\mu\textrm{m}$로 이동하였고, Zn의 확산계수는 $5.4\times10^{-11}\textrm{cm}^2$/sec이었다. 활성화 시간의 증가로, Zn가 더 깊게 확산하지만, 정공농도는 거의 변화가 없었다. 이는 도핑된 영역의 과잉의 침입형 Zn가 도핑되지 않은 영역으로 빠르게 확산하고 치환형 Zn로 변한다는 것을 의미한다. 정공농도는 $SiO_2$ 박막의 두께가 1,000$\AA$ 이상이어야 안정적으로 분포된다.
