A defective HIV-1 helper virus DNA, pHyPC, was assembled by deleting the RNA packaging signal, env, nef and the 3'LTR sequences. HIV-1 like virus particles that carry the HIV-1 receptor, CD4 were generated by co expression of pHyPC and plasmid DNAs encoding different chimeric CD4 proteins. The CD4 particles, sharing the CD4 ectodomain, precisely fused to different membrane anchors. CD4(+) particles specifically bound to HIV-1 Env expressing cells, but any signs of infection into these cells were not detected. Binding was only partially blocked by either polyclonal anti-CD4 antibodies or by high concentrations of soluble CD4. Surprisingly, CD4(+) particles also adsorbed to HeLa, CHO, NIH3T3 and COS-7 cells in the absence of HIV-1 Env expression. Adsorption was comparable in strength and speed to the highly specific CD4-Env interaction. CD4(-) particles exhibited only background levels of binding. Cell binding was CD4. dependent, but it was independent of the cell type from which the CD4(+) particles originated. Interestingly, CD4-dependent/Env-independent binding was only found when CD4 was present on virus particles. This suggests that the micro-environment of CD4 on virus particles uniquely expose this new cell binding activity. Its high affinity could explain in part why infection of Env(+) cells by CD4(+) particles was not detected. Further experiments will be required to evaluate whether this strong membrane interaction could represent one step in the multiple-step viral entry process.

본 연구는 폐 금속광산으로부터 발생한 중금속이 주변 환경으로 오염 확산되는 특성과 이를 중금속으로 오염된 토양의 효과적인 복원 방안을 모색하기 위하여 토양내 중금속의 거동 특성을 바탕으로 한 반응 특성을 조사하였다. 토양내 중금속의 이동성과 생물에 의한 흡수에 영향을 미치는 화학적 존재 형태를 중금속이 다량 함유되어 있는 충남 청양의 구봉 폐 금광의 광미와 인위적으로 중금속을 오염시킨 농경지 토양에서 중금속의 토양과의 화학적 결합 형태를 연속 축출법에 의해 분리하였으며, 그 순서에 따라 토양 내에서 다음과 같이 용해도와 이동성이 감소한다: Soluble fraction> exchangeable>carbonate>Fe-Mn oxide>organic>residual fraction. 광미중에 결합 부위에 가장 높은 친화력을 보인 Pb는 대부분 Fe-Mn Oxide와 Carbonate fraction에 존재하였고 이 두 Fraction에 각각 48.3%와 26.8% 나타났다. Cu와 Cd는 각각 organic과 carbonate fraction이 71.8% 42.9%로 가장 높게 나타났다. 이들 fraction은 비교적 이동성이 강한 fraction으로 중금 속의 오염 조사시 반드시 평가되어야 하며, 복원방안 결정시 반드시 고려되어야 할 것이다. 중금속을 인위적으로 흡착시킨 토양에 있어서 중금속은 대부분 Exchangeable, carbonate 그리고 Fe-Mn oxide fraction 흡착되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 예산통에 있어서 흡착된 Pb는 이들 fraction에 91%가 존재하였고, Cu는 Fe-Mn Fraction에 30.4% 그리고 Cd는 exchangeable fraction에 67.9% 가 존재하였다. 월곡통에 있어서는 흡착된 Cd는 Exchangeable fraction에 93.2%가 존재하였고, Pb와 Cu는 대부분 exchangeable, carbonate와 Fe-Mn Oxide에 흡착되어 있었다. 따라서 토양내 이들 중금속이 가해질 경우 대부분 독성이 강한 오염원으로서 잠재적인 이동성과 생물학적 흡수가능성을 갖는 것으로 나타났다.

This study had three purposes: (1) to investigate the enrichment levels and dispersion patterns of potentially toxic elements in the rock-soil-plant system; (2) to evaluate the uptake ratios of heavy metals from soils into plants and (3) to assess the chemical speciation of heavy metals in soils. Rock, surface soil and plant samples were collected in the Boeun area underlain by black shales of the Okchon Zone. These samples were analyzed for multi-elements using INAA, ICP-AES and AAS. The maximum abundance of U in black shales is 16 mg/kg and radioactivity counts up to 300 cpm. In particular, Mo, V, Ba, Cd, Pb and U are enriched in black shales. Most of soils derived from black shales show high concentrations of U, As, Mo, Ba, Cu, Cd, Pb, Zn and mean concentrations of As and Mo in soils (20 mg/kg of As and 6.6 mg/kg of Mo) are higher than the permissible level suggested by Kloke (1979). Enrichment index values of soils are calculated and higher than 1.0 in the black shale area with the highest value of 6.4. Mean concentration of Cd in plants is higher than those of Cu, Pb and Zn. The concentration of Cd in plant species decreases in the order of Chinese cabbage > red pepper > soybean=sesame > rice stalk > com > rice grain. The biological absorption coefficients (BAC) in plants are in the order of Cd > Zn=Cu > Pb, which suggests that Cd is more bioavailable to plants than Cu, Pb and Zn. From the results of sequential extraction analysis of soils, relatively high proportion of Cu, Pb and Zn are present as residual fractions whereas that of Cd as non-residual fractions. Cadmuim occurs predominantly as exchangeable/water-acid soluble phase in soils, and Cd is more mobile and bioavailable than Cu, Pb and Zn.

Immortalization-upregulated protein-1 (IMUP-1) genes have been cloned and are known to be involved in SV40-mediated immortalization. IMUP-1 gene is highly expressed in various cancer cell lines and tumors, suggesting the possibility that they might be involved in tumorigenicity. Previously, there were several problems for overexpression of IMUP-1 in bacterial expression systems including low solubility and aggregation due to unstructured property. To investigate the structural properties, it is necessary to obtain lots of pure and soluble proteins. Accordingly, the co-expression systems of bacterial chaperone proteins, GroEL-GroES, were used to increase solubility of IMUP-1. From the analysis of NMR and CD experiment data, it is suggested that the protein adopt typical the random coil properties in solution.

Cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase 생산균주를 토양으로부터 분리하여 형태학적, 생화학적 그리고 균주의 세포벽 지방산 조성분석에 의해 Bacillus brevis로 동정하였고, Bacillus brevis CD162로 명명하였다. 또한 배지조성에 따른 cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase의 최적생산조건을 검토한 결과, 2.0% soluble starch, 0.75% yeast extract, 0.5% bacto peptone, 0.2% $K_2HPO_4$, 0.05% $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, 1.5% $Na_2CO_3$ (pH 10.2)의 배지 조건에서 $30^{\circ}C$에서 96시간 배양하였을 때 가장 높은 효소생산인 0.9 unit/ml을 얻을 수 있었다.

An enzyme reactor installed with ultrafiltration membrane was developed to produce ${\alpha}-,\;{\beta}-$, and ${\gamma}$-cyclodextrins (CDs) from soluble starch by Bacillus macerans cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) tagged with 10 lysines at its C-terminus (CGTKIOase). Ultrafiltration membrane YM10 with 10,000 of molecular cutoff was chosen for membrane modification and CD production. A repeated-batch type of the enzyme reaction with free CGTK10ase resulted in a ${\alpha}$-CD yield of 24.0 (${\pm}1.5$)% and a productivity of 4.68 (${\pm}0.88$) g/l-h, which were 7 times higher that those for CGTK10ase immobilized on modified YM10 membrane. Addition of 1-nonanol increased CD yields by 30% relative to the control, which might be due to prevention of the reversible hydrolysis of CDs.

The chlorine component in fly ash from municipal solid waste incineration ash was removed by water washing for the purpose of recycling fly ash as a raw material of ordinary portland cement. The samples were a different kind of 리y ashes using $Ca(OH)_2$and NaOH as media of wet scrubber for flue gas cleaning. The content of soluble salts of fly ash using $Ca(OH)_2$and NaOH was 32.8%, 50.1% and the content of chlorine component, 22.9% and 26.0% respectively, which was KCl, NaCl, CaC1OH mainly. When each fly ash was washed using water under conditions of a agitation speed of 300 rpm, a liquid to solid ratio of 10, most soluble salts in fly ash were dissolved within 30 minutes and the content of chlorine component in ash was diminished to the content of 4.4%, 2.O% at $20^{\circ}C$ and 1.7%, 0.8% at $50^{\circ}C$ respectively. And the main compound of residual chlorine component in ash after water washing was friedel`s salt ($3CaO.A1_2$$O_3$.$CaCl_2$.$10H2$O). From analysis results of water quality for wastewater by water washing, the components exceeding discharged wastewater standard were only Pb and Cd. But As pH was controlled to 10 with addition of $CO_2$(g) or $Na_2$$_CO3$in water, the concentration of heavy metals such as Pb and Cd was also under discharged wastewater standard.
