간척년도가 다른 두 간척지의 고등식물 근권에 존재하는 arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi(AMF)의 포자밀도, 공생강도 및 소포밀도, 그리고 숙주식물인 산조풀, 띠, 비쑥, 갯개미취 및 사데풀의 식물량과 그외의 요소인, 토양의 전기전도도와 Zn 함량 및 식물체속 아연의 함량 등을 조사하여 AMF의 생물학적 특성과 식물의 아연 흡수에 미치는 AMF 공생활성의 영향 등을 연구하였다. 간척지 식물을 토양의 염분함량에 따라 분류하면 염생식물, 임의염생식물, 중성식물의 순으로 AMF 공생활성이 높았고 생활형으로 분류하면 1, 2, 다년 생식물로 감에 따라 AMF 공생활성이 높았다. AMF 공생활성의 계절 변화는 포자밀도가 고등식물의 생육말기부터 봄까지 커짐으로써 가을에 번식함은 알았고, 공생률은 봄, 여름에 높았고 가을에 낮았다. AMF의 공생활성인 포자밀도와 공생강도 사이는 높은 양의 상관이 나타났지만 소포밀도와 포자밀도 또는 소포밀도와 공생강도 사이에는 상관이 없었다. 식물량과 AMF 포자밀도 또는 공생강도 사이에는 높은 양의 상관이 나타났고, 식물량과 소포밀도 사이에는 뚜렷한 상관이 없었다. 이 결과로 간척지의 식물량은 AMF 공생에 의하여 증가되고 포자밀도와 공생강도가 AMF 공생활성의 중요한 척도임을 알았다. 아연 흡수는 AMF 공생활성이 높은 식물이 낮은 식물에 비하여 보다 많은 양을 흡수하였다.

Electron tomography (ET) is a useful tool to investigate three-dimensional details based on virtual slices of relative thick specimen, and it requires complicated procedures consisted of image acquisition steps and image processing steps with computer program. Although the complicated step, this technique allows us to overcome some limitations of conventional transmission electron microscopy: (1) overlapping of information in the ultrathin section covering from 30 nm to 90 nm when we observe very small structures, (2) fragmentation of the information when we study larger structures over 100 nm. There are remarkable biological findings with ET, especially in the field of neuroscience, although it is not popular yet. Understanding of behavior of synaptic vesicle, active zone, pooling and fusion in the presynaptic terminal have been enhanced thanks to ET. Some sophisticated models of postsynaptic density with ET and immune labeling are introduced recently. In this review, we introduce principles, practical steps of ET and some recent researches in synapse biology.

The transformation of the liquid crystal complex made by binding of anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), into high charge density cationic polymer, the homopolymer of diallyldimethylammonium chloride (PDADMAC) was induced by adding of nonionic surfactants and investigated by means of microscopy and FE.SEM. Among nonionic surfactants in this experiments polyethylene glycol (3 mol) ether of lauryl alcohol (laureth-3) made variation in the complex. The laureth-3 transformed the complex into spherulite vesicle with the size of ca.$100{\mu}m$. This change increased the viscosity and the turbidity of the solution phase separated originally. Microscope showed that they are spherulite particles and polarized microscope suggested they are multi.lamellar liquid crystals. FE-SEM also proved that explicitly.

Light membrane vesicles were isolated from the zucchini hypocotyl by floatation on ficoll density gradients and the proteins were solubilized with Triton X100. Three ATP-hydrolyzing enzymes were partially purified by ion-exchange and gel filtration chromatography and isoelectric focusing. There are plasma membrane-type ATPase whose activity was inhibited by vanadate but not by nitrate, tonoplast-type ATPase which was sensitive to nitrate but insensitive to vanadate and one having a phosphatase activity with a pI value different from that of an acid phosphatase. A fraction was obtained after DEAE-ion-exchange chromatography crossreacting with polyclonal antibodies against Ca2+ -ATPase from human erythrocytes.

family (CMTM) is a novel family of proteins linking classical chemokines and the transmembrane 4 superfamily (TM4SF). Our earlier studies indicated several CMTM members (such as CKLF1 and CMTM2) have a secreted form. This is the first report of the secreted form of CMTM5-v1, the major RNA splicing form of CMTM5, which is produced as small vesicles (<100 nm diameter) and floats at a peak density of 1.19 g/ml on continuous sucrose gradients. CMTM5-v1 has no obvious co-localization with CD63 or Golgi complex. In addition, brefeldin A but not wortmannin can inhibit the secretion of CMTM5-v1. Our results suggest that CMTM5-v1 might be secreted via a different vesicle-mediated secretory pathway, which will be helpful for the studies of vesicle-mediated secretion and MARVEL domain-containing proteins.

The development of pale chub oocyte from the immature oogonium to mature oocyte was investigated by light and electron microscope. The cytoplasm of pale chub oogonia was acidic and many vesicles were located at inner side of nuclear membrane. In primary oocytes, yolk vesicles were distributed in cytoplasm. Also, fibrous materials and protuberances were distributed on the surface of zona radiata. The nucleus of secondary oocyte was enlarged and yolk vesicles in cytoplasm migrated to zona radiata. In early egg, yolk mass are formed and yolk vesicles were located at inner side of zona radiata. Three-layered zona radiata was about $3{\mu}m$ in thickness. The three layers were an outer fibrous material layer, a middle nurse cell layer in which microvilli of early egg cytoplasm contact with processes of nurse cells, and an inner layer with high electron density. In mature egg, euchromatin and a germinal vesicle were developed, mitochondria, free ribosomes, and yolk mass were distributed in cytoplasm. But, yolk vesicles were disappeared. Specially, zona radiata of matured eggs were better thin than the one of immature eggs In conclusion, it is summerized that the oogenesis of pale chub were the increase of cell size, the formation and accumulation of yolk, the decrease in nucleat electron density, changes of zona radiata, and the development of microvilli.

가토 신장 피질에서 Percoll density gradient방법으로 분리한 basolateral membrane vesicle (BLMV)에서 rapid filtration technique을 이용하여 succinate의 이동 특성을 관찰하였다. $Na^+$은 succinate의 이동을 증가시켜 "overshoot"현상을 보였으며 이러한 효과는 $K^+,{\;}Li^+,{\;}Rb^+,{\;}choline$과 같은 다른 양이온들에 의해 나타나지 않았다. $Na^+$농도변화에 따른 succinate의 이동율은 sigmoid모양을 보였고, $Na^+$에 대한 Hill coefficient는 2.0이었다. soccinate의 이동은 vesicle 내부가 음전압일 때 더욱 증가되었다. BLMV에서 succinate이동은 용액내 pH변화에 따라 영향을 받았으나 brush border membrane vesicle (BBMV)에서는 영향을 받지 않았다. 동력학적 분석결과 succinate의 Km값은 $15.5{\pm}0.94{\;}{\mu}M$이었고 Vmax는 $16.22{\pm}0.25{\;}n{\;}mole/mg{\;}protein/min$이었다. succinate의 이동은 $4{\sim}5$탄소를 가진 dicarboxylate들에 의해 강력하게 억제되었으나 monocarboxylate나 다른 유기음이온들에 의해 영향을 적게 받거나 받지 않았다. succinate의 이동은 DIDS, SITS, furosemide와 같은 음이온 이동 억제제와 harmaline과 같은 $Na^+$ 이동 억제제에 의해 억제되었다. 이들 결과들은 BLMV에서 succinate는 $Na^+$에 의존하여 이동하며 다른 Krebs cycle중간 산물들과 동일한 운반기전을 이용함을 가르킨다. 또한 BLMV에서 succinate의 이동은 그 기질특이성에 있어서 다른 연구자에 의해 보고된 BBMV에서 이동특성과 유사함을 보였다.

울릉도 북동부 죽암분석층에서 나온 조립 라필리의 밀도, 기공률과 미조직에 대한 정량적 및 정성적 평가를 하였다. 이들 라필리는 하부에서 61%와 상부에서 67%의 최빈기공률, 그리고 연결되지 않은 아원상 기공이 우세한 기공집단을 가진다. 최빈기공률의 쇄설물은 외연부에 평행한 누대를 가지는데, 이 외연부는 대기저에서 급랭된 것이며 미정 없는 적철유리대로서 "파쇄동시"의 마그마성 조직을 보존한 것으로 해석된다. 한편 이 적철유리 외연부는 내부로 가면서 점차 조립화되는 미정 및 기공 조직을 갖는 "파쇄후"의 흑철유리 내부로 점이된다. 그리고 탈기작용 시나리오는 마그마가 주로 닫힌계에서 탈기되었음을 증명해주는 파쇄동시 기공조직과 연결된다. 한편 대기와 접촉하는 조면안산암질 화성쇄설물의 확산적 냉각속도는 치솟는 분사에서 화성쇄설물의 운반과 분산에 관해 추론할 수 있는 파쇄후 기공 및 미정 조직과 연결된다. 이러한 조직 분석은 죽암 분화가 일반적인 대기저 분화유형 중에서 부분적으로 하와이식 분천을 닮은 스트롬볼리식 분화이었다는 것을 보여준다.

Previous research indicated that free-living sporangial filament keep hollow morph under high-culture density and form bipartite cells under low-culture density, while the following conchospore release was inhibited by high light. Here, we further explored the molecular bases of these affects caused by light and culture density using a transcriptome analysis. Many differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to carbon dioxide concentration and fixation, photosynthesis, chlorophyll synthesis and nitrogen absorption were upregulated under high-light conditions compared with low-light conditions, indicating the molecular basis of rapid vegetative growth under the former. The stress response- and ion transport-related DEGs, as well as the gene encoding the vacuole formation-brefeldin A-inhibited guanine nucleotide exchange protein (BIG, py05721), were highly expressed under high-density conditions, indicating the molecular basis of the hollow morph of free-living sporangial filaments under high-culture density conditions. Additionally, the brefeldin A treatment indicated that the hollow morph was directly influenced by vacuole formation-related vesicle traffic. Others DEGs related to cell wall components, zinc-finger proteins, ASPO1527, cell cycle and cytoskeleton were highly expressed in the low density with low-light group, which might be related to the formation and release of conchospores. These results provide a deeper understanding of sporangial filaments in Neopyropia yezoensis and related species.

Agents that activate or inhibit the $Ca^{2+}$ release channel in cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) were tested for their abilities to affect the activity of the SR $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase. Vesicles of junctional SR (heavy SR, HSR) from terminal cisternae were prepared from porcine cardiac muscle by density gradient centrifugation. The steady-state activity of $Ca^{2+}$-ATPases in intact HSR vesicles was/$347{\pm}5\;nmol/min{\cdot}mg$ protein (${\pm}$ SD). When the HSR vesicles were made leaky, the activity was increased to $415{\pm}5\;nmol/min{\cdot}mg$ protein. This increase is probably due to the uncoupling of HSR vesicles. Caffeine (10 mM), an agonist of the SR $Ca^{2+}$ release channel, increased $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase activity in the intact HSR vesicle preparation to $394{\pm}30\;nmol/min{\cdot}mg$ protein. However, caffeine had no significant effect in the leaky vesicle preparation and in the purified $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase preparation. The effect of caffeine on SR $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase was investigated at various concentrations of $Ca^{2+}$. Caffeine increased the pump activity over the whole range of $Ca^{2+}$ concentrations, from $1\;{\mu}M$ to $250\;{\mu}M$, in the intact HSR vesicles. When the SR $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase was inhibited by thapsigargin, no caffeine effect was observed. These results imply that the caffeine effect requires the intact vesicles and that the increase in $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase activity is not due to a direct interaction of caffeine with the enzyme. We propose that the activity of SR $Ca^{2+}$-ATPase is linked indirectly to the activity of the $Ca^{2+}$ release channel (ryanodine receptor) and may depend upon the amount of $Ca^{2+}$ released by the channels.
