AbstractAbstract PDF
A Gram-negative, non-motile, aerobic bacterium, designated strain IP7T, was isolated from seawater at the shore of the Incheon Eulwang-ri beach, South Korea. Cells of strain IP7T are straight or slightly rod-shaped and colonies are round, convex and orange-yellow. Strain IP7T is flexirubin-negative, mild halophile, catalase- and oxidase-positive, and produces a yellow-orange carotenoid pigment. Growth is optimal at 30°C, pH 7–9, and 2.0–4.0% NaCl (w/v). On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, strain IP7T is affiliated with genus Aestuariibaculum in the family Flavobacteriaceae, the closest relative being Aestuariibaculum suncheonense SC17T (98.3% sequence similarity). The DNA G + C content of the novel strain is 37.4 mol%. The only quinone is MK-6 menaquinone. Iso-branched C15:0, iso-branched C15:1 G, and iso-branched C17:0 3-OH are major fatty acids. The major polar lipids are phosphatidylethanolamine, an unidentified aminoglycolipid and two unidentified glycolipids. The DNA-DNA hybridization value of strain IP7T with Aestuariibaculum suncheonense SC17T is 28.87%. Based on the collective DNA-DNA hybridization, biochemical, phylogenetic and physiological data, we report a novel species of the genus Aestuariibaculum for which the name Aestuariibaculum marinum sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is IP7T (= KCTC 52521T = JCM 31725T).

AbstractAbstract PDF
Cervical cancer is strongly associated with chronic human papillomavirus infections, among which HPV16 is the most common. Two commercial HPV vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix are effective for preventing HPV infection, but cannot be used to treat existing HPV infections. Previously, we developed a human endogenous retrovirus (HERV)-enveloped recombinant baculovirus capable of delivering the L1 genes of HPV types 16, 18, and 58 (AcHERV-HP16/18/58L1, AcHERV-HPV). Intramuscular administration of AcHERVHPV vaccines induced a strong cellular immune response as well as a humoral immune response. In this study, to examine the therapeutic effect of AcHERV-HPV in a mouse model, we established an HPV16 L1 expressing tumor cell line. Compared to Cervarix, immunization with AcHERVHPV greatly enhanced HPV16 L1-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in C57BL/6 mice. Although vaccination could not remove preexisting tumors, strong CTL activity retarded the growth of inoculated tumor cells. These results indicate that AcHERV-HPV could serve as a potential therapeutic DNA vaccine against concurrent infection with HPV 16, 18, and 58.

AbstractAbstract PDF
Studies of the retroviruses have focused on the specific interaction of the nucleocapsid protein with a packaging signal in the viral RNA as important for this selectivity, but the packaging signal in porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV) has not been defined. Herein, we identified and analyzed this packaging signal in PERV and found hairpin structures with conserved tetranucleotides in their loops and nucleocapsid recognition sequences; both of which are key elements in the viral packaging signal of MLV. We evaluated packaging efficiency of sequence variants isolated from viral and proviral integrated genomes. All viral packaging sequences (Ψ) were identical, while five distinct packaging sequences were identified from proviral sources. One proviral sequence (Ψ1) was identical to that of the viral Ψ and had the highest packaging efficiency. Three variants (Ψ2, Ψ3, Ψ4) maintained key elements of the viral packaging signal, but had nucleotide replacements and consequently demonstrated reduced packaging efficiency. Despite of the same overall hairpin structure, the proviral variant (Ψ5) had only one GACG sequence in the hairpin loop and showed the lowest packaging efficiency other than ΔΨ, in which the essential packaging sequence was removed. This result, thus, defined the packaging sequences in PERV and emphasized the importance of nucleotide sequence and RNA structure in the determination of packaging efficiency. In addition, we demonstrate efficient infection and gene expression from the PERVbased viral vector, which may serve as a novel alternative to current retroviral expression systems.
