<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>

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.

Kim. Dawng Woo, Yang Choon Kim and Mi Kyung Cho(Horticultural Experiment Station, Seoul, Korea)-Breeding Experiment on Mutation Induction by Irradition. (2) Effects of X-ray and Thermal Neutron Irradiation on Dry seeds of Chinese cabbage and Radish. Kor. Jour. Bot. Vol. V. No. 1. p.1∼6. 1969 : With the aims to find the biological effects of X-ray and thermal neutron on dry seeds of Chinese cabbage and radish, and to examine the utility of artificial mutation in plant breeding, this experiment was carried out through the treated and next generation. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1) Germination rate was rather irregular than decreasing as increasing dose of radiation and there were no differences between Kyong-Sam and Chyong-Bang of Chinese cabbage. 2) In R_l generation, abnormal leaves from seedling of irradiated seeds were observed. These were more apparent in X-ray irradiation than in thermal neutron. 3) Seedling height was inhibited with increasing dose of X-ray and thermal neutrons. Growth inhibition was more remarkable in X-ray than in thermal neutron. Kyong-Sam demonstrated more sensitivity than Chyong-Bang in both X-ray and thermal neutron. 4) Seedling height produced from seeds subjected to thermal neutrons showed small variation around its mean value, while in X-irradiation there was a greater deviation from the mean value. 5) Fertility was decreased as increasing with dose, while the frequency of abortive pollen was increased. There were variability of the fertility and frequency of abortive pollen among plants or branches of a plant. 6) The mutants were obtained more in thermal neutron irradiation than in X-ray. The types of mutations obtained in Chineae radish of R_2 generation were abnormal leaf, densely glowing leaf, degeneration in growing point and dwarf. The maximum frequency of phenotypic mutations was abnormal leaf mutation.

본 연구에서는 어린이집 조직문화가 보육교사의 배려적사고와 교사효능감에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 한다. 이를 위해 연구대상은 경북 G시에 소재해 있는 국·공립, 법인, 직장 및 가정 어린이집 교사 228명이었다. 조직문화를 측정하기 위해 송지혜(2013)의 척도, 배려적 사고를 측정하기 위해 김수동, 안재진, 이정연(2014)의 척도 그리고 교사효능감을 측정하기 위해 김명란(2016)의 척도가 사용되었다. 수집된 자료의 분석은 SPSS/WIN 20.0 프로그램을 이용하여 신뢰도분석, 빈도분석, 기술통계분석, t-test, ANOVA, 상관분석, 위계적 회귀분석이 이루어졌다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 관계문화가 높게 지각되었고, 배려적 사고는 보통 수준을 조금 상회하였고, 개인적 교사효능감이 일반적 교사효능감에 비해 다소 높은 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 어린이집 조직문화와 교사의 배려적사고 및 교사효능감 간의 관계에서는 모두가 유의미한 정적 상관을 보였다. 셋째, 보육교사의 학력이 높을수록 배려적사고가 높고, 근무하고 있는 어린이집의 설립 기간이 짧은 기관의 보육교사가 배려적사고가 높았다. 또한 어린이집의 조직문화 중에서는 관계문화와 합리문화가 보육교사의 배려적사고에 유의미한 정의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째, 기혼, 보육교사의 경력이 높을수록 교사의 교사효능감에 미치는 상대적 영향력이 큰 것으로 예측되었다. 결론적으로 어린이집이 관계적이고 합리적인 조직문화가 잘 구축되어 있을수록 교사의 배려적사고와 교사효능감에 긍정적인 영향을 미친다고 볼 수 있다. In this study, we look at the effects of the organization culture of daycare centers on the caring thinking and the effectiveness of teachers. Specific research issues for this purpose are as follows. Research 1. The trend and general background of child care organization culture, child care teacher consideration, teacher efficiency awareness (age, academic background, type of work organization, experience, age of infant, degree of progress, marriage status) Research 2. What is the correlation between daycare center organization culture, child care teacher consideration, and teacher efficiency? Research 3. How does the organization culture of daycare centers affect the consideration and effectiveness of child care teachers ? The methods of this study are as follows. It was done through a survey. The survey included 79 teachers from state, public, corporate, working and children's homes in G City, North Gyeongsang Province, and 149 teachers from private and private schools. Total 228 teachers participated. The researcher used research scale from organization culture by Song-Jihye(2013), child care teacher consideration by Kim-Sudong, An-Jaejin, Lee-jeongyoen(2014) and teacher efficacy by Kim-Myeongran(2016) For the analysis of the collected data, It's calculated Cronbach’ α by using SPSS/WIN 20.0 program, which shows the internal consistency. In order to examine the general background of childcare teachers, frequency analysis was conducted and a t-test and one-way ANOVA were performed to see if there was a difference in the level of variables. The mean and standard deviation of the main variables were calculated , Correlation analysis, and hierarchical regression analysis. The results of the study are as follows. First, the tendency of major variants was high in the culture of relationships, consideration was slightly higher than normal, and personal teacher efficiency was slightly higher than general teacher efficacy. Consideration showed a significant difference depending on age, academic background, experience, length of institution establishment, and marital status, and teacher efficacy varied depending on age, experience, and marital status. Second, the relationship between the organizational culture of daycare centers and the caring thinking of child care teachers, the relationship between child care organization culture and teacher efficacy, and the caring thinking of child care teachers and the teacher's sense of efficiency showed significant static. Third, among background changes of child care teachers, educational background can have a significant effect on the consideration of children, and the period of institution establishment is shown to have a significant influence on the value of care, so the educational background of child teachers is more important. Among the organizational cultures of daycare centers, it was found that the culture of relationship and rationality had a significant influence on the consideration of child care teachers, and that the culture of rationality had a greater influence on the consideration of child care teachers. Among the background changes of child care teachers, the more important the difference in experience and marital status is in the sense of teacher efficiency, the more likely it is for a child teacher to be a single teacher, and the more likely it is for a teacher to be married. Among the organizational cultures of daycare centers, it was found that the culture of relationship and rationality had a significant effect on the teacher's sense of efficacy, and that the culture of relation had a greater influence on the relative effect of the teacher's ability. Therefore, the more relevant and reasonable organizational culture in daycare centers is well established, the more positive the effect is on the consideration and effectiveness of child care teachers.

Function of the pentose phosphate pathway and its key enzyme, transketolase, in the regulation of the meiotic cell cycle in oocytes

Kim, Yunna,Kim, Eun-Young,Seo, You-Mi,Yoon, Tae Ki,Lee, Woo-Sik,Lee, Kyung-Ah The Korean Society for Reproductive Medicine 2012 Clinical and Experimental Reproductive Medicine Vol.39 No.2

Objective: Previously, we identified that transketolase (Tkt), an important enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway, is highly expressed at 2 hours of spontaneous maturation in oocytes. Therefore, this study was performed to determine the function of Tkt in meiotic cell cycle regulation, especially at the point of germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD). Methods: We evaluated the loss-of-function of Tkt by microinjecting Tkt double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) into germinal vesicle-stage oocytes, and the oocytes were cultured in vitro to evaluate phenotypic changes during oocyte maturation. In addition to maturation rates, meiotic spindle and chromosome rearrangements, and changes in expression of other enzymes in the pentose phosphate pathway were determined after Tkt RNA interference (RNAi). Results: Despite the complete and specific knockdown of Tkt expression, GVBD occurred and meiosis was arrested at the metaphase I (MI) stage. The arrested oocytes exhibited spindle loss, chromosomal aggregation, and declined maturation promoting factor and mitogen-activated protein kinase activities. The modified expression of two enzymes in the pentose phosphate pathway, Prps1 and Rbks, after Tkt RNAi and decreased maturation rates were amended when ribose-5-phosphate was supplemented in the culture medium, suggesting that the Tkt and pentose phosphate pathway are important for the maturation process. Conclusion: We concluded that Tkt and its associated pentose phosphate pathway play an important role in the MI-MII transition of the oocytes' meiotic cell cycle, but not in the process of GVBD.

Identification of Genes Modulated by High Extracellular Calcium in Coculture of Mouse Osteoblasts and Bone Marrow Cells by Oligo Chip Assay

Kim, Hyung-Keun,Song, Mina,Jun, ji-Hae,Woo, Kyung-Mi,Kim, Gwan-Shik,Baek, Jeong-Hwa The Korean Academy of Oral Biology 2006 International Journal of Oral Biology Vol.31 No.2

Calcium concentration in the bone resorption lacunae is high and is in the mM concentration range. Both osteoblast and osteoclast have calcium sensing receptor in the cell surface, suggesting the regulatory role of high extracellular calcium in bone merabolism. In vitro, high extracellular calcium stimulated osteoclastogenesis in coculture of mouse osteoblasts and bone marrow cells. Therefore we examined the genes that were commonly regulated by both high extracellular calcium and 1,25(OH)_(2)vitaminD_(3)(VD3) by using mouse oligo 11 K gene chip. In the presence of 10 mM[Ca^(2+)]e or 10 nM VD3, mouse calvarial osteoblasts and bone marrow cells were co-cultured for 4 days when tartrate resistant acid phosphatase-positive multinucleated cells start to appear. Of 11,000 genes examined, the genes commonly regulated both by high extracellular calcium and by VD3 were as follows; 1) the expressions of genes which were osteoclast differentiation markers or were associated with osteoclastogenesis were up-regulated both by high extracellular calcium and by VD3; trap, mmp9, car2, ctsk, ckb, atp6b2, tm7sf4, rab7, 2) several chemokine and chemokine receptor genes such as sdf1, scya2, scyb5, scya6, scya8, scya9, and ccr1 were up-regulated both by high ectracellular calcium and by VD3, 3) the genes such as mmp1b, mmp3 and c3 which possibly stimulate bone resorption by osteoclast, were commonly up-regulated, 4) the gene such as c1q and msr2 which were related with macrophage function, were commonly down-regulated, 5) the genes which possibly stimulate osteoblast differentiation and/or mineralization of extracellular matrix, were commonly down-regulated;slc8a1, admr, plod2, lox, fosb, 6) the genes which possibly suppress osteoblast differentiation and/or mineralization of extracellular matrix, were commonly up-regulated;s100a4, npr3, mme, 7) the genes such as calponin 1 and tgfbi which possibly suppress osteoblast differentiation and/or mineralization of extracellular matrix, were up-regulated by high extracelluar calcium but were down-regulated by VD3. These results suggest that in coculture condition, both high extracellular calcium and VD3 commonly induce osteoclastogenesis but suppress osteoblast differentiation/mineralization by regulating the expression of related genes.

김명신,이승옥,임지향,서광수,김용구,한경자,최정현,유진홍,최수미,신완식,이동건,김경미 대한감염학회 2003 감염과 화학요법 Vol.35 No.3

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.
