1996년 2월부터 1997년 2월까지 월 2회씩 경남 거제군 장목만에서 자연산 홍합 (Mytilus corsucus)을 채집하석 PSP 독화상황을 조사하였다. 홍합의 독성은 마우스를 이용한 생물검정법으로 측정하였고, 독조성은 HPLC를 사용하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, 독성은 3월 27일부터 5월 27까지의 시료에서 검출되었으며, 또한 11월 28일의 시료에서도 검출되었다. 본 연구는 국내에서 가을철에도 PSP에 의해 패류가 독화한다는 것을 처음으로 확인하고 보고한 것이다. 한편 독화한 홍합의 독조성은 봄철 시료의 경우에 GTX군이 주성분이고 STX군과 PX군이 부성분이었으나, 가을철 시료는 봄철의 것에 비해 고독성 성분인 GTX군과 STX군이 적고 저독성 성분인 PX군의 조성이 큰 특징을 보였다.

Toxin protein from Ustilago maydis virus SH14 isolated in Korea was purified using ethanol precipitation, cation exchange, gel filtration and anion exchange chromatography. The molecular weight of the purified protein was estimated to be 8.3 kDa by SDS-PAGE analysis. The Nterminal sequence of the protein is L-G-I-N-C(K)-R-G-S-S-Q--C(K)-G-L-S-G which is highly homologous with that of P4 toxin, but the amino acid composition and electrophoretic mobility in a native PAGE of the toxin protein were totally different from those of P4 toxin respectively. The SH14 toxin was shown to have immunological cross-reactivity about 50% with P4 toxin when examined by Western hybridization.

1976년과 1997년 남해안의 거제도 외포리에서 채취한 진주담치와 굴의 독력 덴 독소성분을 비교 조사하였다. 독성은 진주담치가 굴에 비하여 약 10배 정도 높았으며(1996년, 진주담치, 8,670 $\mu\textrm{g}$, 굴 860$\mu\textrm{g}$; 1997년, 진주담치 5,657 $\mu\textrm{g}$, 굴 531$\mu\textrm{g}$/100g), 독화기간도 진주담치가 굴에 비하여 길었다. 두 종류의 시료 모두 독소 주성분은 Cl 및 C2 (20~65%)와 gonyautoxin 1, 2, 3, 4 (38~78%)이었다. 그리고 독화초기에는 11$\beta$-epimer toxin(C2, GTX4)의 비율이 25~56mo1e%(1996년)와 25~80mo1e% (1997년)로 11$\alpha$-epimer toxin(Cl, GTX2)의 비율도다 높았다. 그러나 독화기간이 지남에 따라 11$\alpha$-epimer toxin의 비율이 41~57mo1e%(1996년)와 25~56mo1e%(1997년)로 11$\beta$-epimer toxin의 비율보다 높게 나타났다. 이와 같은 독소성분 조성의 변화는 패류내에서 독소가 대사되기 때문인 것으로 추측된다.

Studies on detoxification of Paralytic Shellfish Poison (PSP)-infested oyster, Crassostrea gigas were carried out using available processing resources. Changes of paralytic shellfish toxin components and specific toxicity during canning process were also investigated with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Toxic oysters collected at Hachong in Koje Bay were used for experimental samples. The toxicity of oysters with range of 185-778 ug/100g was reduced below the quarantine limit of 80 ug/100g or not detected level by the mouse bioassay after canning process. The mole $\%$ of toxin components in the shucked oyster was in the order of 25.1 mole $\%$ of gonyautoxin 1, 19.2 mole $\%$ of gonyautoxin 3, 17.2 mole $\%$ of gonyautoxin 4 and 14.6 mole $\%$ of gonyautoxin 2. This sample had tracing amounts of Cl, C2, saxitoxin and neosaxitoxin. In the case of specific toxicity, the major toxins were consisted of gonyautoxin 1-4. The sum of gonyautoxin 1, 2, 3 and 4 was 80% of total toxicity of oyster. Saxitoxin and decarbamoylsaxitoxin were the more thermostable than any other toxin components.

The annually outbreak of paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) were caused by toxic dinolagellate A. tamarense and A. catenella in Korea. The purpose of this study were to investigate the distribution of PSP-causative organisms, A. tamarense and A. catenella and their species classification. Sediment (Saemangeum, the south open sea) and water samples (southeastern coast) were sampled to establish clonal isolates in 2003. After isolation and purification, strains were cultured under $17^{\circ}C$, f/2 media, 14:10=L:D cycle. PST analysis and species identification were performed by HPLC-FD method and specific DNA probe, respectively. Thirty-ons strains were isolated from the Saemangeum reclamation, southeastern coast including Jinhae Bay and south open sea. PSTs were detected in all cultured strains. In eight strains from south offshore, major toxin components are GTX5, C1/2 and minors are GTX3/4, dcGTX3, neoSTX. Sixteen strains from south coastal area have GTX1/4, neoSTX, C1/2 as major toxin components and GTX2/3 as minors. Seven strains from the Saemangeum reclamation have GTX5, C1/2 as major toxin components and GTX1/2/3/4 as minors. Thus, among eight south offshore isolates, four A. tamarense have more toxic (38.31~l19.16 fmol.$cell^{-1}$) than A. catenella (3.78~13.13 fmol.$cell^{-1}$). With the previous results of different toxin composition, toxin components and toxin contents, .it is toxin profile that could used to diagnosis of regional toxic population and geographical distribution of both A. tamarense and A. catenella and their toxigenic strains.

Cultured cells of the toxic Alexandrium tamarense were fed to four mussel species, Mytilus coruscus, M. edulis, M. galloprovincialis and Septifer vulgatus, to examine the interspecies and interlocality differences in the ability to accumulate paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxins. Toxin content of A. tamarense cells varied during culture period. In contrast, toxin composition in the cell (C1,2, GTX1-4 and neoSTX) was constantly stable. In feeding experiment, the four mussel species collected from Geoje intoxicated after uptake of A. tamarense. Toxin content ($average{\pm}SD\;{\mu}g$ STXeq/100 g) of M. coruscus, M. edulis, M. galloprovincialis and Septifer vulgatus were $1,660{\pm}79,\;3,914{\pm}2,242,\;5,626{\pm}1,620\;and\;958{\pm}163$, respectively. Toxin profiles included C1,2, GTX1,4 and neoSTX as the major components, and dcGTX2,3, GTX2,3, neoSTX and STX as the minor ones. Toxin accumulation of three mussel species collected from Pohang, Geoje and Anmyon-do showed interspecies and interlocality differences. Toxin content ($average{\pm}SD\;{\mu}g$ STXeq/100 g) were $91{\pm}4,\;151{\pm}14,\;39{\pm}3$ in M coruscus, $189{\pm}1,\;231{\pm}11,\;206{\pm}15$ in M edu/is and $214{\pm}28,\;326{\pm}30,\;291{\pm}26$ in M. galloprovincialis in order of Anmyon-do, Geoje and Pohang.

Bacterial endoribonuclease toxins belong to a protein family that inhibits bacterial growth by degrading mRNA or rRNA sequences. The toxin genes are organized in pairs with its cognate antitoxins in the chromosome and thus the activities of the toxins are antagonized by antitoxin proteins or RNAs during active translation. In response to a variety of cellular stresses, the endoribonuclease toxins appear to be released from antitoxin molecules via proteolytic cleavage of antitoxin proteins or preferential degradation of antitoxin RNAs and cleave a diverse range of mRNA or rRNA sequences in a sequence-specific or codon-specific manner, resulting in various biological phenomena such as antibiotic tolerance and persister cell formation. Given that substrate specificity of each endoribonuclease toxin is determined by its structure and the composition of active site residues, we summarize the biology, structure, and substrate specificity of the updated bacterial endoribonuclease toxins.

동해안 강릉 연안의 양식산과 자연산 참가리비의 마비성패독 (PSP)에 의한 독화상황을 파악하기 위하여 1997년 1월부터 6월까지 중장선의 독성을 조사하였다. 마우스를 이용한 생물검정법으로 조사한 결과, 4월 30일과 5월 15일 시료에서 비록 $2 MU\;g^{-1}$의 낮기는 하였지만 독성이 검출되었으며, HPLC로 독조성을 분석하였 더니 gonyautoxins (GTXs)과 protogonyautoxins (PXs)이 주요 성분으로 확인되었다. 이로써 우리나라 동해안에서도 PSP에 의해서 패류가 독화한다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다.

Changes of paralytic shellfish toxin components and specific toxicity in blue mussel, Mytilus edu/is and oyster, Crassostrea gigas during canning process were investigated by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The $mole\%$ of the frozen shucked blue mussel were in order of $27.5\;mole\%$ of gonyautoxin 1, $23.0\;mole\%$ of gonyautoxin 8 (C1) and $23.0\;mole\%$ of epi-gonyautoxin 8 (C2), while those of the frozen shucked oyster were in order of $29\;mole\%$ of C1, $22\;mole\%$ of C2, $16.7\;mole\%$ of gonyautoxin 2. Both samples had minor amounts of saxitoxin and neosaxitoxin. On the other hand, in case of specific toxicity, the major toxins were consisted of gonyautoxin $1\~4$ in both sample. The toxicity of gonyautoxin $1\~4$ were 88 and $84\%$ in blue mussel and oyster, respectively. According to the experimental results, C1, C2 and gonyautoxin 4 were very sensitive to heat treatment, while gonyautoxin 2 and saxitoxin were pretty heat resistant than any other toxin components.

1993년 진해만 일원의 마비성패독 발생의 원인규명을 위한 모니터링의 일환으로 원인생물의 독생산과 성분조성을 조사하기 위하여 양식장 인근해역의 저서 휴면포자를 발아시켜 분리한 무균주의 독성분을 분석하였다. 분리된 전체주중에서 수정리산 (St. 1) 5주, 욱곡리산 (St. 2) 3주 및 대곡리산 (St. 4) 11주의 독조성 및 독함량을 비교하였을 때, 각 지점별 평균 독량은 약 54-70 fmol/cell 높은 량을 나타내었고, 동일 휴면포자의 clone 분리주 뿐만 아니라 전체 분리주에서 개체별 독함량의 차이가 크게 나타났다. 독조성은 C1/C2 (epiGTX8/GTX8), GTX1/GTX4 및 neoSTX가 주요 구성성분을 이루었고, GTX2/GTX3, GTX5, C4, dcSTX 및 STX성분은 미량 또는 산발적으로 출현하였다. 주요 성분중에서 neoSTX는 $5-54mol\%$로 변동이 컸으나, 전체 분리주의 절반은 출현을 보이지 않아 이 지역에서 조성이 다른 개체군의 출현이 시사되었다 한편, 상대적으로 독성이 강한 GTX1-4 및 neoSTX와 같은 Carbamate군의 성분이 세 정점에서 각각 $57\%,\;54\%$ 및 $67\%$의 높은 평균치를 나타내어 이 지역에서의 높은 독화율과 독화 가능성의 잠재력이 큰 것으로 시사되었다.
