Abstract
-
Fibroblast growth factor 11 (FGF11) is a member of the intracellular FGF family, which shows different signal transmission
compared with other FGF superfamily members. The molecular function of FGF11 is not clearly understood. In this study,
we identified the inhibitory effect of FGF11 on hepatitis B virus (HBV) gene expression through transcriptional suppression.
FGF11 decreased the mRNA and protein expression of HBV genes in liver cells. While the nuclear receptor FXRα1
increased HBV promoter transactivation, FGF11 decreased the FXRα-mediated gene induction of the HBV promoter by
the FXRα agonist. Reduced endogenous levels of FXRα by siRNA and the dominant negative mutant protein (aa 1–187
without ligand binding domain) of FXRα expression indicated that HBV gene suppression by FGF11 is dependent on FXRα
inhibition. In addition, FGF11 interacts with FXRα protein and reduces FXRα protein stability. These results indicate that
FGF11 inhibits HBV replicative expression through the liver cell-specific transcription factor, FXRα, and suppresses HBV
promoter activity. Our findings may contribute to the establishment of better regimens for the treatment of chronic HBV
infections by including FGF11 to alter the bile acid mediated FXR pathway.

Abstract
-
Fibroblast growth factor 11 (FGF11) is one of intracrine FGFs
(iFGFs), which function within cells. Unlike canonical FGFs,
FGF11 remains intracellularly and plays biological roles in
FGF receptor (FGFR)-independent manner. Here, we established
an expression system of recombinant FGF11 proteins
in E. coli and investigated whether the extracellular administration
of FGF11 can activate cellular signaling. Human
FGF11 has two isoforms, FGF11a and FGF11b, depending
on the presence of nuclear localization sequences (NLSs) in
the N-terminus. Because these two isoforms are unstable, we
prepared an FGF11a-Mut by substituting three cysteine residues
in the NLS with serine and FGF11b-ΔC with C-terminal
truncation. The introduction of mutation in the NLS improved
the solubility of FGF11 prepared from E. coli. Exogenous
addition of FGF11b and FGF11b-ΔC to BALB3T3
increased cell proliferation, while FGF11a-Mut exerted no
effect. FGF11b-ΔC showed higher cell proliferation activity
and FGFR signaling than FGF11b. The cell-proliferating activities
of FGF11b and FGF11b-ΔC were blocked by an FGFR1
inhibitor or a recombinant FGFR1, confirming the FGFR1-
dependent extracellular activity of FGF11b. The analysis of
circular dichroism suggested that the C-terminus of FGF11
has an α-helical structure, which may affect its interaction
with FGFR1. These results suggest that the N-and C-terminus
of recombinant FGF11 are involved in the activation of
FGFR1. The above results provide novel insights into the function
and mechanism of FGF11 that may aid the development
of useful ligands for FGFR regulation.

Abstract
-
A strictly anaerobic, dissimilatory Fe(III)-reducing hyperthermophilic
archaeon, designated as strain IOH1T, was isolated
from a new deep-sea hydrothermal vent (Onnuri Vent Field)
area in the Central Indian Ocean ridge. Strain IOH1T showed
> 99% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with Thermococcus
celericrescens TS2T (99.4%) and T. siculi DSM 12349T (99.2%).
Additional three species T. barossii SHCK-94T (99.0%), T. celer
Vu13T (98.8%), and T. piezophilus (98.6%) showed > 98.6%
of 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity, however, the maximum
OrthoANI value is 89.8% for the genome of T. celericrescens
TS2T. Strain IOH1T cells are coccoid, 1.2–1.8 μm
in diameter, and motile by flagella. Growth was at 70–82°C
(optimum 80°C), pH 5.4–8.0 (optimum pH 6.0) with 2–4%
(optimum 3%) NaCl. Growth of strain IOH1T was enhanced
by starch, pyruvate, D(+)-maltose and maltodextrin as a carbon
sources, and elemental sulfur as an electron acceptor;
clearly different from those of related species T. celecrescens
DSM 17994T and T. siculi DSM 12349T. Strain IOH1T, T. celercrescence
DSM 17994T, and T. siculi DSM 12349T reduced
soluble Fe(III)-citrate present in the medium, whereas the
amount of total cellular proteins increased with the concomitant
accumulation of Fe(II). We determined a circular chromosome
of 2,234 kb with an extra-chromosomal archaeal
plasmid, pTI1, of 7.7 kb and predicted 2,425 genes. The DNA
G + C content was 54.9 mol%. Based on physiological properties,
phylogenetic, and genome analysis, we proposed that
strain IOH1T (= KCTC 15844T = JCM 39077T) is assigned to
a new species in the genus Thermococcus and named Thermococcus
indicus sp. nov.

Abstract
-
An anaerobic, rod-shaped, mesophilic, chemolithoautotrophic,
sulfate-reducing bacterial strain IOR2T was isolated from
a newly found deep-sea hydrothermal vent (OVF, Onnuri
Vent Field) area in the central Indian Ocean ridge (11°2488
S 66°2542E, 2021 m water depth). The 16S rRNA gene sequence
analysis revealed that the strain IOR2T was most closely
related to Desulfovibrio senegalensis BLaC1T (96.7%).
However, it showed low similarity with the members of the
family Desulfovibrionaceae, such as Desulfovibrio tunisiensis
RB22T (94.0%), D. brasiliensis LVform1T (93.9%), D. halophilus
DSM 5663T (93.7%), and Pseudodesulfovibrio aespoeensis
Aspo-2T (93.2%). The strain IOR2T could grow at 23–
42°C (optimum 37°C), pH 5.0–8.0 (optimum pH 7.0) and
with 0.5–6.5% (optimum 3.0%) NaCl. The strain could use
lactate, pyruvate, H2, and glycerol as electron donors and sulfate,
thiosulfate, and sulfite as electron acceptors. The major
fatty acids of the strain IOR2T were iso-C15:0, iso-C17:0, anteiso-
C15:0, and summed feature 9 (C16:0 methyl/iso-C17:1ω9c).
Both the strains IOR2T and BLaC1T could grow with CO2 and
H2 as the sole sources of carbon and energy, respectively. Genomic
evidence for the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway in both
the strains reflects chemolithoautotrophic growth. The DNA
G + C content of the strain IOR2T and BLaC1T was 58.1–60.5
mol%. Based on the results of the phylogenetic and physiologic
studies, Paradesulfovibrio onnuriensis gen. nov., sp.
nov. with the type strain IOR2T (= KCTC 15845T = MCCC
1K04559T) was proposed to be a member of the family Desulfovibrionaceae.
We have also proposed the reclassification
of D. senegalensis as Paradesulfovibrio senegalensis comb. nov.

Abstract
-
Strain IMCC1322 was isolated from a surface water sample
from the East Sea of Korea. Based on 16S rRNA analysis,
IMCC1322 was found to belong to the OCS28 sub-clade of
SAR116. The cells appeared as short vibrioids in logarithmicphase
culture, and elongated spirals during incubation with
mitomycin or in aged culture. Growth characteristics of strain
IMCC1322 were further evaluated based on genomic information;
proteorhodopsin (PR), carbon monoxide dehydrogenase,
and dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP)-utilizing
enzymes. IMCC1322 PR was characterized as a functional
retinylidene protein that acts as a light-driven proton pump
in the cytoplasmic membrane. However, the PR-dependent
phototrophic potential of strain IMCC1322 was only observed
under CO-inhibited and nutrient-limited culture conditions.
A DMSP-enhanced growth response was observed in addition
to cultures grown on C1 compounds like methanol, formate,
and methane sulfonate. Strain IMCC1322 cultivation
analysis revealed biogeochemical processes characteristic of
the SAR116 group, a dominant member of the microbial community
in euphotic regions of the ocean. The polyphasic taxonomy
of strain IMCC1322 is given as Candidatus Puniceispirillum
marinum, and was confirmed by chemotaxonomic
tests, in addition to 16S rRNA phylogeny and cultivation
analyses.

Abstract
-
We have previously identified a sulfate methane transition
zone (SMTZ) within the methane hydrate-bearing sediment
in the Ulleung Basin, East Sea of Korea, and the presence of
ANME-1b group in the sediment has been shown by phylogenetic
analysis of a 16S rRNA gene. Herein, we describe
taxonomic and functional profiling in the SMTZ sample by
metagenomic analysis, comparing with that of surface sediment.
Metagenomic sequences of 115 Mbp and 252 Mbp
were obtained from SMTZ and surface sediments, respectively.
The taxonomic profiling using BLASTX against the
SEED within MG-RAST showed the prevalence of methanogens
(19.1%), such as Methanosarcinales (12.0%) and
Methanomicrobiales (4.1%) predominated within the SMTZ
metagenome. A number of 185,200 SMTZ reads (38.9%) and
438,484 surface reads (62.5%) were assigned to functional
categories, and methanogenesis-related reads were statistically
significantly overrepresented in the SMTZ metagenome.
However, the mapping analysis of metagenome reads to the
reference genomes, most of the sequences of the SMTZ metagenome
were mapped to ANME-1 draft genomes, rather
than those of methanogens. Furthermore, the two copies of
the methyl-coenzyme M reductase gene (mcrA) segments
of the SMTZ metagenome were clustered with ANME-1b in
the phylogenetic cluster. These results indicate that ANME-
1b reads were miss-annotated to methanogens due to limitation
of database. Many of key genes necessary for reverse
methanogenesis were present in the SMTZ metagenome,
except for N5,N10-methenyl-H4MPT reductase (mer) and CoBCoM
heterodisulfide reductase subunits D and E (hdrDE). These data suggest that the ANME-1b represents the primary
player the anaerobic methane oxidation in the SMTZ,
of the methane hydrate-bearing sediment at the Ulleung
Basin, East Sea of Korea.

Abstract
-
A Gram-staining-negative, thin rod-shaped, anaerobic bacterium
designated MCWD3T was isolated from sediment of
the deep sea in Ulleung Basin, East Sea, Korea. The ranges of
temperature, pH and NaCl for growth of this strain were 15–
40°C (optimum 29°C), 5.0–10.0 (optimum pH 6.5), and 1–5%,
respectively. The major fatty acids were iso-C15:0 (30%) and
iso-C15:0 dimethyl acetal (17%). The major polar lipids were
diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine,
and unidentified aminophospholipids, phospholipids,
and aminolipids. The fermentation product from
yeast extract was acetate. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S
rRNA genes indicated that the isolate was related to Sporosalibacterium
faouarense (92.8% sequence identity), Clostridiisalibacter
paucivorans (92.6%), and Brassicibacter mesophilus
(92.4%). However, the isolate was differentiated from these
genera by both physiological and chemotaxonomical properties.
On the basis of a polyphasic taxonomic analysis, we
propose that MCWD3T represents a novel taxon with the
name Abyssisolibacter fermentans gen. nov. sp. nov.

Abstract
-
To understand the physiological functions of thermostable fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (TNA1-Fbp) from Thermococcus onnurineus NA1, its recombinant enzyme was overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified, and the enzymatic properties were characterized. The enzyme showed maximal activity for fructose-1,6-
bisphosphate at 95°C and pH 8.0 with a half-life (t1/2) of about 8 h. TNA1-Fbp had broad substrate specificities for fructose-1,6-bisphosphate and its analogues including fructose-1-phosphate, glucose-1-phosphate, and phosphoenolpyruvate. In addition, its enzyme activity was increased five-fold by addition of 1 mM Mg2+, while Li+ did not enhance enzymatic activity. TNA1-Fbp activity was inhibited by ATP, ADP, and phosphoenolpyruvate, but AMP up to 100 mM did not have any effect. TNA1-Fbp is currently defined as a class V fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) because it is very similar to FBPase of Thermococcus kodakaraensis KOD1 based on sequence homology. However, this enzyme shows a different range of substrate specificities. These results suggest that TNA1-Fbp can establish new criterion for class V FBPases.

Abstract
-
The dissemination of many antibiotic resistance genes has arisen among members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. The dissemination mechanism of these antibiotic resistance genes is closely linked with insertion sequence common region 1 (ISCR1). Thus, caution must be taken in clinical settings to prevent further dissemination of these antibiotic resistance genes. A nomenclature system of ISCR1 variants, important for the antibiotic resistance dissemination, was proposed. The proposed system can designate all ISCR1 variants on the basis of the detection time and by considering amino-acid substitution(s) compared with ISCR1a. This nomenclature system of ISCR1 variants can be applied to 19 groups (ISCR1 to ISCR19) of the ISCR family and help some researchers to correctly designate new ISCR subgroups.

Abstract
-
Marine harbor sediments are frequently polluted with significant amount of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) some of which are naturally toxic, recalcitrant, mutagenic, and carcinogenic. To stimulate biodegradation of PAHs in PAH-contaminated sediments collected from near Gwangyang Bay, Korea, lactate was chosen as a supplementary carbonaceous substrate. Sediment packed into 600 ml air-tight jar was either under no treatment condition or lactate amended condition (1%, w/v). Microbial community composition was monitored by bacteria-specific and archaea-specific PCR-terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP), in addition to measuring the residual PAH concentration. Results showed that lactate amendment enhanced biodegradation rate of PAHs in the sediment by 4 to 8 times, and caused a significant shift in archaebacterial community in terms of structure and diversity with time. Phylogenetic analysis of 23 archaeal clones with distinctive RFLP patterns among 288 archaeal clones indicated that majority of the archaeal members were closest to unculturable environmental rDNA clones from hydrocarbon-contaminated and/or methanogenesis-bearing sediments. Lactate amendment led to the enrichment of some clones that were most closely related to PAH-degrading Methanosarcina species. These results suggest a possible contribution of methanogenic community to PAH degradation and give us more insights on how to effectively remediate PAH-contaminated sediments.

Abstract

This study confirms that Taq DNA polymerase could be contaminated with the blaTEM-1a gene.
It also proposes two different methods that could be used to overcome DNA contamination: (i)
DNase I treatment prior to PCR amplification; and (ii) the use of a highly purified Taq DNA polymerase
which was devoid of detectable contamination.

Abstract
-
To determine the prevalence and genotypes of [beta]-lactamases among clones of a metagenomic library from the cold-seep sediments of Edison seamount (10,000 years old), we performed pulse-field gel electrophoresis, antibiotic susceptibility testing, pI determination, and DNA sequencing analysis. Among the 8,823 clones of the library, thirty clones produced [beta]-lactamases and had high levels of genetic diversity. Consistent with minimum inhibitory concentration patterns, we found that five (16.7%) of thirty clones produced an extended-spectrum [beta]-lactamase. 837- and 259-bp fragments specific to bla_TEM genes were amplified, as determined by banding patterns of PCR amplification with designed primers. TEM-1 was the most prevalent [beta]-lactamase and conferred resistance to ampicillin, piperacillin, and cephalothin. TEM-116 had a spectrum that was extended to ceftazidime, cefotaxime, and aztreonam. The resistance levels conferred by the pre-antibiotic era alleles of TEM-type [beta]-lactamases were essentially the same as the resistance levels conferred by the TEM-type alleles which had been isolated from clinically resistant strains of bacteria of the antibiotic era. Our first report on TEM-type [beta]-lactamases of the pre-antibiotic era indicates that TEM-type [beta]-lactamases paint a picture in which most of the diversity of the enzymes may not be the result of recent evolution, but that of ancient evolution.

Abstract
-
A soluble Cr(VI) reductase was purified from the cytoplasm of Escherichia coli ATCC 33456. The molecular mass was estimated to be 84 and 42 kDa by gel filtration and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, respectively, indicating a dimeric structure. The pI was 4.66, and optimal enzyme activity was obtained at pH 6.5 and 37^oC. The most stable condition existed at pH 7.0. The purified enzyme used both NADPH and NADH as electron donors for Cr(VI) reduction, while NADPH was the better, conferring 61% higher activity than NADH. The K_m values for NADPH and NADH were determined to be 47.5 and 17.2 umol, and the V_max values 322.2 and 130.7 umol Cr(VI) min^-1mg^-1 protein, respectively. The activity was strongly inhibited by N-ethylmalemide, Ag^2+, Cd^2+, Hg^2+, and Zn^2+. The antibody against the enzyme showed no immunological cross reaction with those of other Cr(VI) reducing strains.

Abstract
-
Bacterial strains were isolated from biofilms formed on glass slides submerged in seawater in Dae-Ho Dike. Eight strains showing fast attaching ability were selected and identified. Their exopolysaccharide(EPS)-producing ability and EPS properties were characterized. Based on Microlog System, 4 among the 8 strains were identified as Micrococcus luteus and the rest were Bacillus thuringiensis, Bacillus megaterium, Staphylococcus saprophyticus and Agrobacterium vitis. A. vitis was reidentified as Sulfitobacter pontiacus based on 16S rDNA sequence data. The amount of water-soluble EPS produced by the 8 strains ranged from 0.114 to 1.329 g·l^-1 and the productivity was negatively correlated with the cell biomass. The molecular weight of the produced EPS ranged from 0.38 to 25.19x 10^4 Da. Glucose and galactose were ubiquitous sugar components. Mannose, ribose, and xylose were also major sugar components. The molecular weight and composition of the EPS showed strain-specific variation.

Abstract
-
Sponges are host organisms for various symbiotic microorganisms such as archaea, bacteria, cyanobacteria and microalgae. Sponges are also sources of a wide variety of useful natural products like cytotoxins, antifouling agents, antibiotics, and anti-inflammatory and antiviral compounds. Symbiotic microorganisms in sponges can be sources of various natural products, because metabolites previously ascribed to sponges have recently been demonstrated to be biosynthesized by symbionts. If a symbiotic microorganism from which some natural products are derived can be cultured, the microorganism could be used in a mass production of the bioactive compounds. We summarize recent research on isolation and cultivation of sponge-symbiotic microorganisms and the symbiotic relationship.

Chitin-degrading marine bacterial strain 98CJ11027 was isolated from bryozoa from the coastal area of Cheju Island, Korea, and identified as a member of the genus Vibrio. The molecular mass of the main extracellular chitinase (chitinase I), purified from strain 98CJ11027, was estimated to be 98 kDa. The optimal condition for chitinase I activity is pH 6.0 and 45 C. The activity was inhibited by Fe^+2 and Cu^+2. Chitinase I displayed the hydrolysis type of chitobiosidase and catalyzed reversed hydrolysis leading to the synthesis of tetraacetylchitotetraose.

Abstract
-
Fifty-eight strains showing different colony morphological characteristics on various media were isolated from marine coral (Plexauridae sp.) and ambient seawater near Mun-Sum, Cheju-Island in 1998. Bacterial diversity was studies by phylogenetic analysis of the partial 16S rRNA gene sequences. All isolates representing the bacterial domain included affiliates of the high G+C (59%) and los G+C (3%) subdivision of Gram positive bacteria, and the alpha (33%) and gamma (5%) subdivision of the Proteobacteria. The 16S rDNA sequence similarity of the isolates was in the 88.3 to 100% range (average, 95.6%) to reported sequence data. In the comparison of the isolates from marine coarl and ambient seawater, more diverse groups belonging to alpha-proteobacteria were preferentially obtained from seawater.
