  • 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.

  • Hypoxia-inducible factor $1{\alpha}\;(HIF1{\alpha})$ is a transcription factor that plays a key role in the adaptation of cells to low oxygen stress and oxygen homeostasis. The oxygen-dependent degradation (ODD) domain of $HIF1{\alpha}$ is responsible for the negative regulation of $HIF1{\alpha}$ in normoxia. The interactions of the $HIF1{\alpha}$ ODD domain with partner proteins such as von Hippel-Lindau tumor suppressor (pVHL) and p53 are mediated by two sequence motifs, the N- and C-terminal ODD(NODD and CODD). Multiple sequence alignment with $HIF1{\alpha}$ homologs from human, monkey, pig, rat, mouse, chicken, frog, and zebrafish has demonstrated that the NODD and CODD motifs have noticeably high conservation of the primary sequence across different species and isoforms. In this study, we carried out molecular dynamics simulation of the structure of the $HIF1{\alpha}$ CODD motif in complex with the p53 DNA-binding domain (DBD). The structure reveals specific functional roles of highly conserved residues in the CODD sequence motif of $HIF1{\alpha}$ for the recognition of p53.

  • The aim of this study is to improve the fault decision ability of FRTU (Feeder remote terminal unit) in DAS (Distribution automation system). FRTU uses the FI (Fault indicator) algorithm based on fault current pickup and operation of the protection device. Even if the inrush current flows or the protection device is sensitive to the transient current, FRTU may indicate incorrect fault information. To address these problems, we propose an improved fault recognition algorithm that can be applied to FRTU. We will detect a specific wave that is indicative of a fault, and use this information to identify a fault wave. The specific wave-detection algorithm is based on the duration and periodicity of the voltage, current, and harmonic variations. In addition, we propose fault recognition algorithms using voltage factor variation analysis and DWT (Discrete wavelet transform). All the wave data used in this study were actual data stored in FRTU.

  • The nucleotide-binding and oligomerization domain (NOD) is an innate pattern recognition receptor that recognizes pathogen- and damage-associated molecular patterns. The 29-kDa amino-terminal fibronectin fragment (29-kDa FN-f) is a matrix degradation product found in the synovial fluids of patients with osteoarthritis (OA). We investigated whether NOD2 was involved in 29-kDa FN-f-induced pro-catabolic gene expression in human chondrocytes. The expression of mRNA and protein was measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qrt-PCR) and Western blot analysis. Small interfering RNAs were used for knockdown of NOD2 and toll-like receptor 2 (TLR-2). An immunoprecipitation assay was performed to examine protein interactions. The NOD2 levels in human OA cartilage were much higher than in normal cartilage. NOD1 and NOD2 expression, as well as pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-1beta (IL-$1{\beta}$) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-${\alpha}$), were upregulated by 29-kDa FN-f in human chondrocytes. NOD2 silencing showed that NOD2 was involved in the 29-kDa FN-f-induced expression of TLR-2. Expressions of IL-6, IL-8, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, -3, and -13 were also suppressed by TLR-2 knockdown. Furthermore, NOD2 and TLR-2 knockdown data demonstrated that both NOD2 and TLR-2 modulated the expressions of their adaptors, receptorinteracting protein 2 (RIP2) and myeloid differentiation 88, in 29-kDa FN-f-treated chondrocytes. 29-kDa FN-f enhanced the interaction of NOD2, RIP2 and transforming growth factor beta-activated kinase 1 (TAK1), an indispensable signaling intermediate in the TLR-2 signaling pathway, and activated nuclear factor-${\kappa}B$ (NF-${\kappa}B$), subsequently leading to increased expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines and cartilage-degrading enzymes. These results demonstrate that 29-kDa FN-f modulated pro-catabolic responses via cross-regulation of NOD2 and TLR-2 signaling pathways.

  • Novel binol aldehydes derivatized at 2' hydroxy position with both uryl and acetamide groups (2), and diuryl groups (3) have been synthesized. Both were designed for streospecific binding and chirality conversion of general dipeptides with support of multiple hydrogen bonding donor sites in the receptors. The receptors, 2 and 3, converted the chirality of N-terminal amino acids of peptides such as Ala-Gly, Met-Gly, Leu-Gly and His-Gly with stereoselectivity on D-form over L-form. The stereoselectivity ratios were in the range of 5-11, somewhat higher than those of the binol receptor with mono uryl group (1). The DFT calculation at the B3LYP/6-31G$^*$//MPWB1K/6-31G$^*$ level revealed that 3-D-Ala-Gly was 2.2 kcal/mol more stable than 3-L-Ala-Gly. The considerable steric hindrance between the methyl group of the alanine and the imine CH moiety of the receptor seems to be the main contributing factor for the thermodynamic preference.

  • glysosyl hydrolase의 하나인 CCF 유사 유전자를 지렁이 Eisenia anderi의 중장으로부터 분리하여 클로닝하였다. 이 유전자의 전체 염기서열 크기는 1,152bp로 나타났으며 개시코돈을 포함하여 384개의 아미노산을 인코딩한다. N-말단 지역의 17개 잔기들은 signal peptide이다. CCF 관련 유전자의 아미노산 서열을 분석한 결과 본 연구에서 분리한 CCF 유사 유전자는 glycosyl hydrolase family 16 (GHF16)에 속하며, 다른 종의 지렁이에서 밝혀진 CCF 및 CCF-유사 단백질과 79~99%의 높은 상동성을 보였다. 여러 지렁이 종에서 분리된 CCF 및 CCF-유사 단백질들은 가수분해활성에 중요한 polysacchride-binding motif와 glucanase motif가 100% 상동성을 나타냈다. 본 연구의 대상종과 유사종인 E. fetida에서 분리된 CCF는 이 종의 서식지가 미생물 활성이 높은 부패 유기질층이기 때문에 다른 종의 CCF에 비해 높은 기질인식 특이성을 갖고 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 사실은 본 연구에서 분리한 CCF도 넓은 기질 특이성을 갖고 있을 가능성을 제시해 주고 있으며 이는 산업적 응용 측면에서 유용한 특징 중의 하나라고 생각된다. BLASTX를 이용한 계통수 분석 결과 GHF16 효소는 크게 후생동물군, 녹색식물군, 진정세균군 등의 세 그룹으로 나눌 수 있었으며, 후생동물군의 GHF16은 다시 촉수담륜동물형와 탈피동물형(후생동물형 포함)으로 나뉘어졌다. 본 연구에 의해 E. andrei로부터 분리된 CCF-유사 단백질의 더 많은 생물학적 특성 연구를 통해 ${\beta}$-D-글루칸의 분해 및 생산을 조절하는 산업적 활용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
