<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P>Calmodulin-regulated protein phosphorylation plays a pivotal role in amplifying and diversifying the action of calcium ion. In this study, we identified a calmodulin-binding receptor-like protein kinase (CBRLK1) that was classified into an S-locus RLK family. The plasma membrane localization was determined by the localization of CBRLK1 tagged with a green fluorescence protein. Calmodulin bound specifically to a Ca<SUP>2+</SUP>-dependent calmodulin binding domain in the C-terminus of CBRLK1. The bacterially expressed CBRLK1 kinase domain could autophosphorylate and phosphorylates general kinase substrates, such as myelin basic proteins. The autophosphorylation sites of CBRLK1 were identified by mass spectrometric analysis of phosphopeptides.</P><P><B>Structured summary</B></P><P>MINT-6800947:<I>CBRLK1</I> (uniprotkb:Q9ZT06) and <I>AtCaM2</I> (uniprotkb:P25069) <I>bind</I> (MI:0407) by <I>electrophoretic mobility shift assay</I> (MI:0413)</P><P>MINT-6800966:<I>AtCaM2</I> (uniprotkb:P25069) and <I>CBRLK1</I> (uniprotkb:Q9ZT06) <I>bind</I> (MI:0407) by <I>competition binding</I> (MI:0405)</P><P>MINT-6800930:<I>CBRLK1</I> (uniprotkb:Q9ZT06) <I>binds</I> (MI:0407) to <I>AtCaM2</I> (uniprotkb:P25069) by <I>far Western blotting</I> (MI:0047)</P><P>MINT-6800978:<I>AtCaM2</I> (uniprotkb:P25069) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0218) with <I>CBRLK1</I> (uniprotkb:Q9ZT06) by <I>cytoplasmic complementation assay</I> (MI:0228)</P>

Histone deacetylase 3 is selectively involved in L3MBTL2-mediated transcriptional repression

Yoo, Jung-Yoon,Choi, Kyung-Chul,Kang, HeeBum,Kim, Young Jun,Lee, Jeongmin,Jun, Woo Jin,Kim, Mi-Jeong,Lee, Yoo-Hyun,Lee, Ok-Hee,Yoon, Ho-Geun Elsevier 2010 FEBS letters Vol.584 No.11

<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P>This is the first report that L(3)mbt-like 2 (L3MBTL2) specifically interacts with the histone deacetylase domain of histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3) via its MBT domain. Here, we show that L3MBTL2 selectively interacts with HDAC3, but not other class I HDACs. An in vitro peptide-binding assay demonstrated the specific association of HDAC3 with methylated histone-K20 tail and L3MBTL2. Furthermore, depletion of HDAC3 resulted in a decrease of methylated K20-H4, as well as an increase in acetylated histone H3. Consequently, HDAC3 knock-down selectively suppressed L3MBTL2-mediated transcriptional repression. Taken together, our results reveal the concerted action of both HDAC3 and L3MBTL2 in histone deacetylation and methylation-dependent transcriptional repression.</P><P><B>Structured summary</B></P><P>MINT-7719975: <I>L3MBTL2</I> (uniprotkb:Q969R5) and <I>HDAC3</I> (uniprotkb:O15379) <I>colocalize</I> (MI:0403) by <I>fluorescence microscopy</I> (MI:0416)</P><P>MINT-7719941, MINT-7719921: <I>L3MBTL2</I> (uniprotkb:Q969R5) <I>binds</I> (MI:0407) to <I>HDAC3</I> (uniprotkb:O15379) by <I>pull down</I> (MI:0096)</P><P>MINT-7719991: <I>HDAC3</I> (uniprotkb:O15379) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0915) with <I>L3MBTL2</I> (uniprotkb:Q969R5) by <I>anti bait coimmunoprecipitation</I> (MI:0006)</P><P>MINT-7719958: <I>L3MBTL2</I> (uniprotkb:Q969R5) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0915) with <I>HDAC3</I> (uniprotkb:O15379) by <I>anti tag coimmunoprecipitation</I> (MI:0007)</P><P>MINT-7719897: <I>HDAC3</I> (uniprotkb:O15379) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0915) with <I>L3MBTL2</I> (uniprotkb:Q969R5) by <I>two hybrid</I> (MI:0018)</P>

Background and Purposes: Over the past three decades, numerous studies performed in Korea have reported that job stress is a determinant risk factor for chronic diseases and work disability. Every society has its own culture and occupational climate particular to their organizations, and hence experiences different occupational stress. An occupational stress measurement tool therefore needs to be developed to estimate it objectively. The purpose of this study is to develop and standardize the Korean Occupational Stress Scale (KOSS) which is considered to be unique and specific occupational stressors in Korean employees. Subjects and Methods: Data were obtained from the National Study for Development and Standardization of Occupational Stress (NSDSOS Project: 2002-2004). A total of 12,631 employees from a nationwide sample proportional to the Korean Standard Industrial Classification and the Korean Standard Occupational Classification were administered. The KOSS was developed for 2 years (2002-2004). In the first year, we collected 255 items from the most popular job stress measurement tools such as JCQ, ERI, NIOSH and OSI, and 44 items derived from the a qualitative study (depth interview). Forty-three items of KOSS, in the second year, were retained for use in the final version of the KOSS by using Delphi and factor analysis. Items were scored using conventional 1-2-3-4 Likert scores for the response categories. Results: We developed eight subscales by using factor analysis and validation process: physical environment (3 items), job demand (8 items), insufficient job control (5 items), interpersonal conflict (4 items), job insecurity (6 items), organizational system (7 items), lack of reward (6 items), and occupational climate (4 items). Together they explained 50.0% of total variance. Internal consistency alpha scores were ranged from 0.51 to 0.82. Twenty-four items of the short form of the KOSS (KOSS-SF) were also developed to estimate job stress in the work setting. Because the levels of the subscales of occupational stress were gender dependent, gender-specific standard norms for both the 43-item full version and the 24-item short form using a quartile for the subscales of KOSS were presented. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that KOSS might be an appropriate measurement scale to estimate occupational stress of Korean employees. Further and more detailed study needs to be conducted to improve the validity of this scale.

단클론항체를 이용한 타액 내 Streptococcus mutans 수준의 측정

김추성,김재곤,양연미,백병주,이경열,김미아,임수민 大韓小兒齒科學會 2010 大韓小兒齒科學會誌 Vol.37 No.2

Streptococcus mutans는 구강 내에 상존하는 치아우식증의 주요 원인균으로서 치면의 피막에 부착 후 glucan을 형성하여 세균의 군락을 이루며, 외부로부터 공급된 자당대사를 통하여 유기산을 생성함으로써 법랑질을 탈회시킨다. 치아우식 활성도의 평가를 위한 단클론항체를 이용한 방법은 진료실에서 빠른 시간 내에 간편하게 타액에 존재하는 Streptococcus mutans의 정량분석이 가능한 방법이다. 이 연구는 3세에서 6세 사이의 어린이 15명을 대상으로 자극성 타액을 채취하여 시판 중인 단클론항체를 이용한 Salivacheck Mutans, strip을 이용한 Dentocult-SM 그리고 MSB배지 배양법으로서 타액 내 Streptococcus mutans를 측정한 후 그 값을 우식경험치아수와 비교하여 상관관계를 알아보았다. Saliva-check Mutans를 이용한 방법은 Dentocult-SM과 MSB배지법과 통계학적으로 유의한 상관관계를 보였으나 (p<0.05), MSB배지법은 어린이의 우식경험치아수와 통계학적으로 유의한 결과를 나타내지 않았다 (p=0.34). Streptococcus mutans, one of the major causal agents of dental caries, is component of the dental plaque. It produces various organic acids such as lactic acid which is the end-product of glycolysis, and this leads to dental caries. A new system using species-specific monoclonal antibodies was developed to detect Streptococcus mutans in saliva. The system quickly detects salivary Streptococcus mutans in 30min and classifies the result into two levels. The purpose of this study was to investigate correlation between monoclonal antibody-based detecting system and selective medium-based detecting methods. Children's deft indices were also compared with Streptococcus mutans counts in MSB agar plate. Subjects consisted of 15 children in the age of 3 to 6 years. They were assigned to three groups: Group Ⅰ (deft index = 3), Group Ⅱ (deft index ≤ 3), Group Ⅲ (deft index ≥ 4). The results are as follows : 1. The rate of children with positive response was 13.3% and with negative response was 86.7% in the result of Saliva-check Mutans test kit. 2. There was a positive correlation between monoclonal antibody-based detecting system and selective medium-based detecting methods (p<0.05). 3. Streptococcus mutans counts in MSB agar plate were irrelevant to deft of children(p=0.34).

Porcine cytomegalovirus (PCMV) causes piglet deaths, runting, inclusion body rhinitis, respiratory and reproductive disorders in swine herd, resulting in the significant economic losses in the swine industry. Recently, in the field of pig-to-human xenotransplantation, PCMV has been indicated as a potential xenogeneic pathogen with the risk for infection transmitted from the xenograft donor to the recipient. In this study, PCMV DNA polymerase gene was detected in the sera and nasal swabs from 30 heads of the weaned piglets affected with various wasting diseases and 10 heads of normal healthy piglets using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and the diagnostic efficacy of PCR was evaluated. The prevalence of the PCR-positive by specimens from the diseased piglets were 83.3% in sera and 33.3% in nasal swabs. In the normal healthy group, the PCR-positive rates of sera and nasal swabs were 40% and 30%, respectively. Ten piglets (25.0%) out of 40 showed the simultaneously positive results in both of sera and nasal swabs. According to this result, it was found that the serum specimen was the most appropriate sample for detection of PCMV by PCR. The nucleotide sequence homology of DNA polymerase gene of PCMV KS1 as compared with the reference strain of PCMV (GenBank accesson no.AF027217) was 99.0%.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to reclassify the advanced nursing practices of critical care nurse practitioners(CCNPs) in intensive care unit and measure the time and frequency of CCNP's activities. Method: Practices of ICU nurses are divided into RN's and CCNP's practices by a panel of ICU nursing experts. Each practice of CCNP is defined and CCNP's working time and service frequencies are monitored in general hospitals. Result: Practices of CCNP were classified into 4 domains and 32 practices. Fourteen practices by CCNPs were completed in 10 minutes and the other 12 practices consumed 10-30 minutes. A priority of practice in respiratory therapy was given to artificial airway management, management of tracheostomy patient, lower respiratory care, and the priority of CRRT was management of anticoagulation. Conclusions: Advanced nursing practices of CCNPs were recognized from those of RNs. A further research of CCNPs practices should be extended to other advanced practices and it is required to evaluate economic value of advanced nursing practice in the national health insurance system.

목적 : Vancomycin 내성장구균(VRE)은 병원감염의 중요한 원인균으로 VRE 보균상태의 환자들을 파악하여 감염을 예방할 수 있는 감시체계가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 혈액종양병동 입원 환자를 대상으로 VRE의 직장내 감시배양을 실시하여 그 빈도 및 분포를 알아보고, 집락화된 균주와 임상검체에서 분리된 VRE와의 관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 방법 : 가톨릭대학교 성모병원 혈액종양병동에 입원해 있는 환자를 대상으로 14개월간 직장 감시배양을 시행하였다. 혈액한천배지에서 장구균이 의심되는 집락을 따서 vancomycin 6㎍/㎖이 포함된 Brain-heart infusion agar에 10^(6) CFU를 접종하여 vancomycin 내성선별검사를 하였다. 이 기간 동안 4병실에서 환경감시배양을 시행하였다. 분리된 균주는 Microscan을 이용하여 균종을 동정하였고 vancomycin에 대한 최소억제농도를 측정하였다. Multiplex PCR로 균종 확인 및 동시에 vancomycin 내성 유전형을 알아보았다. 결과 : 대상이 된 452명의 환자 중 230명(50.9%)이 직장내 VRE 보균자로 확인되었다. 균종의 분포는 E. faecium (72.4%), E. faecalis(24.1%) 순으로 vancomycin에 대한 MIC가 128㎍/㎖ 이상의 고도 내성이었으며, vanA형이 대부분이었다. 환경 감시배양에서는 2개 병실에서 VRE 4주가 분리되었다(E. faecium 3주, E. faecalis 1주). 감시기간동안 32명의 환자의 임상검체에서 33주의 VRE가 동정되었고 이 중 29명(90.6%)이 직장내 VRE 보균자였다. 결론: 가톨릭의대 성모병원 혈액종양병동의 VRE의 직장 내 집락화율이 높음을 알 수 있었다. 특히 임상검체에서 VRE가 분리된 환자의 경우 VRE 직장내 집락화율이 유의하게 높게 나타나 보균상태의 VRE가 환자의 감염에 직접적인 연관이 있을 수 있으므로 이를 예방하고 관리하는 지침이 필요하다고 생각한다. Background: Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) have emerged as important pathogens among hospitalized patients. We evaluated the prevalence of rectal VRE colonization at hematology-on-cology unit and the correlation between VRE colonization and infection. Materials & Methods: All VRE isolates were obtained from rectal swabs and clinical samples of the patients hospitalized over 14-month period at hematology-oncology unit in St. Mary's Hospital. The agar screening test was performed by using 6 ug/ml of vancomycin in brain heart infusion agar with 10^(6) CFU inoculum. During this period, the environmental surveillance culture was performed in 4 hospital rooms. Species identification of VRE was done by Microscan and MICs to vancomycin. Identification and genotyping of VRE pattern were confirmed by multiplex PCR. Results: Rectal colonization rate was 50.9% (230 among 452 patients). The most common isolate was E. faecium (72.4%) followed by E. faecalis (24.1%), and all had vanA genotype. Four VREs (three E. faecium and one E. faecalis) were isolated from 2 hospital rooms. During this period, 33 clinical VRE strains from 32 patients were isolated (infected or colonized). Twenty nine (90.6%) of these clinical isolates came from VRE carriers. Conclusion: This study showed a high rectal colonization rate of VRE in patients hospitalized at the hematology-oncology unit in St. Mary's Hospital. The colonization rate of VRE in the rectum was higher among the patients who had clinical infection by VRE. Therefore, the strategies for prevention and control of VRE infection should be deveoloped and monitored.

Streptozotocin was injected to rats and rabbits to induce the experimental diabetes mellitus and Palmiwon was administrated to observe the changes of blood sugar, body weight, and serum Zn, Ca, Mg level in order to find out the effect of diabetic tratment by experimental method. And thus, the result was as follows: 1. The blood sugar level of diabetic rat was decreased after administration of Palmiwon. 2. Body weight of diabetic rat was moderately decreased after administratin of Palmiwon. 3. The less streptozotocin, 30 mg/kg, don't easily induce diabetes mellitus in rabbits. We did not find the changes of blood sugar, serum Zn, Ca, Mg level in the rabbits injected by streptozotocin, 30mg/kg of body weight.
