A mutant of green fluorescent protein ($GFPmut3^*$) from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria was cyclized in vitro and in vivo by the use of a naturally split intein from the dnaE gene of Synechocystis species PCC6803 (Ssp). Cyclization of $GFPmut3^*$ was confirmed by amino acid sequencing and resulted in an increased electrophoretic mobility compared with the linear $GFPmut3^*$. The circular $GFPmut3^*$ was $5^{\circ}C$ more thermostable than the linear form and significantly more resistant to proteolysis of exopeptidase. The circular $GFPmut3^*$ also displayed increased relative fluorescence intensity. In addition, chemical stability of $GFPmut3^*$ against GdnHCl revealed more stability of the circular form compared with the linear form.

Sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS) is a key regulatory enzyme in sucrose synthesis. To investigate the role of SPS in carbon partitioning, we produced transgenic rice plants overexpressing a cyanobacterial SPS from Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. The gene was expressed under the control of the maize Ubil promoter in transgenic plants. Southern and Northern blot analyses confirmed the integration and the expression of the transgene in four transgenic rice lines. All of the four transgenic! lines analyzed showed abnormal vegetative and reproductive developments. Analysis of SPS activities and primary metabolites in the transgenic rice plants will be presented.

Various classes of phospholipids were investigated for the structural determination of fatty acyl groups by fast atom bombardment tandem mass spectrometry (FAB-MS/MS). Phospholipids were desorbed by FAB as molecules chelated with sodium ion (or ions). Collision-induced dissociation (CID) of intact sodium adduct molecular ions ([M+Na]+, [M-H+2Na]+ or [M+Na-2H]-) produced a series of homologous fragment ions via the charge-remote fragmentation along the fatty acid chains. These ions were found useful to locate the double bond positions even for the polyunsaturated fatty acid chains. The regiospecificity of the acyl chain linkages in phosphatidylcholine (PC) could also be determined based on the ratio of relative abundance of the product ions (i.e., [M+Na-85-R2COOH]+ vs [M+Na-85-R1COOH]+) in CID-MS/MS of [M+Na]+. These are generated by the loss of fatty acyl groups at sn-1 and sn-2, respectively, together with the choline group. In all the phospholipid compounds investigated, loss of the fatty acid at the sn-2 position was dominant. The present method was applied to the structural determination of molecular species of phosphatidylglycerols (PG) isolated from cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803.

본 논문에서는 기존의 conting 구성 프로그램의 단점인 단편들 간의 결합 실패를 보완하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법은 매우 긴 DNA의 염기 서열을 자동 서열 분석기로 한번에 분석 가능한 약 700개의 단편들을 한 주형으로 만들어 PCR 방법으로 클론 3을 생성 후, $600\sim700$개의 길이로 단편화하여 기준 주형과 비교하여 일치율을 계산한다. 이때 Compute Agreement 알고리즘을 이용하여 일치율을 계산하는 시간을 단축시킨다. 계산된 단편 쌍들의 중첩 정도를 기준으로 주형마다 2개의 결합 후보 단편을 추출하여 추출된 각 단편들의 일치율과 각 DNA 염기의 A,G,C,T 소속도 및 각 A,G,C,T 이 전 빈도수를 퍼지 추론 규칙을 이용하여 결합 여부를 판단한다. 본 논문에서는 결정된 최 적의 비교 단편을 결합하고, 더 이상 단편이 없을 때까지 반복하여 서열 결합을 완성한다. 실험을 위해 완성된 단백질 지놈인 'Synechocystis PCC6803'을 각각 1만개, 10만개씩 추출하여 $600{\sim}700$개의 길이를 가진 단편을 생성하였으며, 이 단편을 임 의의 mutation을 유발하여 실험한 결과, FAP 프로그램보다 속도가 줄어들었으며, conting 구성 프로그램의 단점 인 결합 실패가 발생하지 않았다.
