Phytoextraction은 식물을 이용하여 환경 정화하는 phytoremediation의 일부분으로서 금속으로 오염된 토양을 정화하는 것이다. 토양에 존재하는 금속의 추출을 용이 하기 위해서 현재 다양한 킬레이트가 사용되고 있다. Phytoextraction이 경제적이고 친환경적인 장점이 있지만 고농도로 오염된 지역에서는 적용이 어려운데 이는 식물이 이러한 지역에서 살아남기 어렵기 때문이며 이러한 문제점을 해결하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 연구 대상의 금속으로서 구리를 선택하였고, 킬레이트는 아미노산인 시스테인과 히스티딘, 작은 크기의 유기산으로서 citric acid, malic acid, succinic acid, oxalic acid, 그리고 ethylenediamine (EDA)를 선택하였으며, EDTA는 비교대상으로 본 연구에 사용되었다. 다양한 농도의 구리를 포함하는 배지에 식물을 키우면서 여러 킬레이트가 식물의 뿌리 성장에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 시스테인, 히스티딘, 그리고 citric acid은 식물의 성장을 억제하는 구리의 영향을 완화시켜 주었지만 EDA는 오히려 더 강화시켜 주었다. 또한 킬레이트의 식물성장에 대한 영향은 구리의 식물 내 흡수를 억제 또는 촉진에 의한 것이다. 따라서 구리의 식물성장억제를 완화시켜주는 시스테인, 히스티딘, 그리고 citric acid는 고농도의 구리로 오염된 지역에 식물의 성장이 가능하도록 사용될 수 있으며 EDA는 기존의 phytoextraction에 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다. Phytoextraction is a method of phytoremediation using plants to clean up metal-contaminated soils. Recently, various chelating agents were used in this method to increase the bioavailability of metals in soils. Even though phytoextraction is an economic and environmentally friendly method, this cannot be applied in highly metal-contaminated areas because plants will not normally grow in such conditions. This research focuses on identifying chelating agents which are biodegradable and applicable to highly metal-contaminated areas. Copper (Cu) as a target metal and cysteine (Cys), histidine (His), citrate, malate, oxalate, succinate, and ethylenediamine (EDA) as biodegradable chelating agents were selected. Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) was used as a comparative standard. Plants were grown on agar media containing various chelating agents with Cu to analyze the effect on root growth. Cys, His, and citrate strongly diminished the inhibitory effect of Cu on root growth of plants. The effect of oxalate was weak, and malate and succinate did not show significant effects. EDTA diminished and EDA promoted the inhibitory effects of Cu on root growth. These effects of chelating agents are correlated with Cu uptake into the roots. In conclusion, as biodegradable chelating agents, Cys, His, and citrate are good candidates for highly Cu-contaminated areas, while EDA can be useful in phytoextraction for Cu.

Expression of Arabidopsis Phytochelatin Synthase 2 Is Too Low to Complement an AtPCS1-defective Cad1-3 Mutant

Sangman Lee,Beom Sik Kang 한국분자세포생물학회 2005 Molecules and cells Vol.19 No.1

Phytochelatins play an important role in heavy metal detoxification in plants as well as in other organisms. The Arabidopsis thaliana mutant cad1-3 does not pro-duce detectable levels of phytochelatins in response to cadmium stress. The hypersensitivity of cad1-3 to cad-mium stress is attributed to a mutation in the phytoche-latin synthase 1 (AtPCS1) gene. However, A. thaliana also contains a functional phytochelatin synthase 2 (AtPCS2). In this study, we investigated why the cad1-3 mutant is hypersensitive to cadmium stress despite the presence of AtPCS2. Northern and Western blot analy-ses showed that expression of AtPCS2 is weak compared to AtPCS1 in both roots and shoots of transgenic Arabi-dopsis. The lower level of AtPCS2 expression was con-firmed by RT-PCR analysis of wild type Arabidopsis. Moreover, no tissue-specific expression of AtPCS2 was observed. Even when AtPCS2 was under the control of the AtPCS1 promoter or of the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter (CaMV 35S) it was not capable of fully complementing the cad1-3 mutant for cadmium resis-tance.

A Cooperative Diversity-Based Robust MAC Protocol in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

Sangman Moh,Chansu Yu IEEE 2011 IEEE transactions on parallel and distributed syst Vol.22 No.3

<P>In interference-rich and noisy environment, wireless communication is often hampered by unreliable communication links. Recently, there has been active research on cooperative communication that improves the communication reliability by having a collection of radio terminals transmit signals in a cooperative way. This paper proposes a medium access control (MAC) algorithm, called Cooperative Diversity MAC (CD-MAC), which exploits the cooperative communication capability of the physical (PHY) layer to improve robustness in wireless ad hoc networks. In CD-MAC, each terminal proactively selects a partner for cooperation and lets it transmit simultaneously so that this mitigates interference from nearby terminals, and thus, improves the network performance. For practicability, CD-MAC is designed based on the widely adopted IEEE 802.11 MAC. For accurate evaluation, this study presents and uses a realistic reception model by taking bit error rate (BER), derived from Intersil HFA3861B radio hardware, and the corresponding frame error rate (FER) into consideration. System-level simulation study shows that CD-MAC significantly outperforms the original IEEE 802.11 MAC in terms of packet delivery ratio and end-to-end delay.</P>

Heterologous Expression of Fission Yeast Heavy Metal Transporter, SpHMT-1, Confer Tolerance to Cadmium in Cytosolic Phytochelatin-Deficient Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Sangman Lee(이상만) 한국생명과학회 2009 생명과학회지 Vol.19 No.12

파이토킬레이트(PC)는 PCS에 의해 생성되는 작은 폴리펩타이드로서 여러 생물에서 발견되고 있다. PC의 역할은 카드뮴과 같은 중금속을 세포질에서 결합하며 이는 액포막에 존재하는 HMT에 의해서 액포 안으로 이동된다. HMT1은 분열효모에서 처음으로 알려졌으며 이후 선충, 초파리 등에서도 발견되었으며 세포 내 역할은 카드뮴 같은 중금속 해독에 관여를 하고 있다. 하지만 액포가 존재하지 않고 PC를 생성하지 않는 초파리에서의 HMT1의 발견은 그 동안 알려진 HMT1의 역할을 재 조명하게 된다. 따라서 PC를 생성하지 못하는 출아효모에 PC를 생성하는 분열효모 유래 SpHMT1을 발현시켜 카드뮴에 대한 저항성을 분석하였다. SpHMT1을 발현하는 출아효모는 카드뮴에 대한 저항성이 현저하게 증가되었고 이는 SpHMT1이 PC가 존재하지 않는 조건에서도 카드뮴에 대한 해독작용을 하는 것을 암시한다. 또한 SpHMT1을 발현하는 출아효모는 GSH에 대한 저항성을 보였고 카드뮴에 대한 저항성도 GHS에 의해서 더 증가되는 결과를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 HMT1이 PC와 결합된 카드뮴을 액포안으로 이동시키는 가능성보다 GSH와 결합된 카드뮴을 액포 안으로 이동시켜 카드뮴에 대한 해독작용을 한다는 것을 암시한다. Phytochelatins (PCs) are small polypeptides synthesized by PC synthase (PCS). They are present in various living organisms including plants, fission yeast, and some animals. The presumed function of PCs is the sequestration of cytosolic toxic heavy metals like cadmium (Cd) into the vacuoles via vacuolar membrane localized heavy metal tolerance factor 1 (HMT-1). HMT-1 was first identified in fission yeast (SpHMT-1), and later in Caenorhabdtis (CeHMT-1). Recently, its homolog has also been found in PC-deficient Drosophila (DmHMT-1), and this homolog has been shown to be involved in Cd detoxification, as confirmed by the heterologous expression of DmHMT-1 in fission yeast. Therefore, the dependence of HMT-1 on PC in Cd detoxification should be re-evaluated. I heterologously expressed SpHMT-1 in cytosolic PC-deficient yeast, Saccharomycea cerevisiae, to understand the dependence of HMT-1 on PC. Yeast cells expressing SpHMT-1 showed increased tolerance to Cd compared with control cells. This result indicates that SpHMT-1 is not strictly correlated with PC production on its function. Moreover, yeast cells expressing SpHMT-1 showed increased tolerance to exogenously applied glutathione (GSH) compared with control cells, and the tolerance to Cd was further increased by exogenously applied GSH, while tolerance in control cells was not. These results indicate that the function of SpHMT-1 in Cd detoxification does not depend on PCs only, and suggest that SpHMT-1 may sequester cytosolic GSH-Cd complexes into the vacuole.

EDTA와 EDA는 알루미늄에 의한 식물성장 억제를 강력하게 억제하였으며 이는 알루미늄의 식물 내 흡수를 억제에 의한 것이다. 따라서 알루미늄의 식물성장억제를 강력하게 완화시켜주는 EDA는 고농도의 알루미늄으로 오염된 지역에 식물의 성장이 가능하도록 유용하게 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

Therefore, this research focuses on identifying chelating agents which are biodegradable and applicable to highly metal-contaminated areas. Alunimum (Al) as a target metal and cysteine (Cys), histidine (His), citrate, malate, oxalate, succinate, and ethylenediamine (EDA) as biodegradable chelating agents were selected. Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) was used as a comparative standard. Plants were grown on agar media containing various chelating agents with Al to analyze the effect on plant growth. His slightly diminished the inhibitory effect of Al on root growth of plants, whereas, Cys, citrate, malate, oxalate, and succinate did not show significant effects. Both EDTA and EDA strongly diminished the inhibitory effect of Al on root growth. The effect of EDA is correlated with decreased Al uptake into the plants. In conclusion, as a biodegradable chelating agent, EDA is a good candidate for highly Al-contaminated areas.

Artificial induction and isolation of cadmium-tolerant soil bacteria

( Sangman Lee ) 한국응용생명화학회(구 한국농화학회) 2020 Journal of Applied Biological Chemistry (J. Appl. Vol.63 No.2

Environmental pollution caused by various heavy metals is a serious global problem. To solve this problem, microbial bioremediation of contaminated metals has developed rapidly as an effective strategy when physical and chemical techniques are not suitable. In this study, cadmium (Cd)-tolerant soil bacteria were isolated via artificial induction in laboratory conditions instead of screening bacteria naturally adapted to metal-contaminated soils. Wild-type (WT) bacteria grown in uncontaminated soils were artificially and sequentially adapted to gradually increasing Cd concentrations of up to 15 mM. The resultant cells, named Soil-CdR15, survived at a Cd concentration of 10 mM, whereas WT cells failed to survive with 4 mM Cd on solid media for 2 d. In liquid media containing Cd, the Soil- CdR15 cells grew with 15 mM Cd for 7 d, whereas the WT cells could not grow with 5 mM Cd. Both Soil-CdR15 and WT cells removed approximately 35% of Cd at the same capacity from liquid media containing either 0.5 or 1.0 mM Cd over 2 d. In addition to Cd, the Soil-CdR15 cells showed increased resistance to nickel, zinc, and arsenic compared to WT cells. The Soil-CdR cells were identified as Burkholderia sp. by partial sequencing of 16S rRNA. The data presented in this study demonstrate that isolation of heavy metal-tolerant microorganisms via artificial induction in laboratory conditions is possible and may be useful for the application of the microorganisms for the bioremediation of heavy metals.
