We have previously observed that a sequence in coat protein (CP) ORF of Turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV) is required for efficient replication of the virus. The sequence was predicted to take a stem-loop structure, thus termed SL2. While examining various SL2 mutants, we observed that all the modifications resulting in extension of translation beyond the CP ORF significantly suppressed subgenomic RNA accumulation. The genomic RNA level, in contrast, was not affected. Introduction of an in-frame stop codon in the CP ORF of these constructs restored the level of subgenomic RNA. Overall, the results suggest that the read-through makes the subgenomic RNA unstable.

Bacteriological study, including antibiotic sensitivity tests, of 145 patients with pyodermas such as impetigo, superficial folliculltis, deep folliculitis, ecthyma, paronychia, cellulitis and secondary skin infections, was carried out during the period from June, 1981 to September, 1982 at the Department of Dermatology, Han II hospital.

Systemic candidiasis is a fatal fungal infection and its diagnosis is often difficult because Candida organism may be cultured from blood specimens in only 25% of the patients. The triad of systemic candidiasis is fever, papular rash, and diffuse muscle tenderness. Therefore, the recognition of the characteristic cutaneous lesions of disseminated candidiasis allows earlier diagnosis and treatment. The cutaneous lesion usually consists of red or purpuric papules, some with pale centers, abscess, necrotic lesion, hemorrhage and skin lesion mimicking ecthyma gangrenosum. We report a rare case of disseminated candidiasis presented as multiple subcutaneous nodule-typed skin lesions.

HExDB is a database for analyzing exon and splicing pattern information in Homo sapiens. HExDB is useful for specific purposes: 1) to design primers for exon amplification from cDNA and 2) to understand the change of ORFs by alternative splicing. HExDB was constructed by integrating data from AltExtron which is the computationally predicted exon database, Ensemble cDNA annotation, and Affymetrix genome tile published recently. Although it may contain false positive data, HExDB is good starting point due to its sensitivity. At present, there are as many as 2,046,519 exons stored in the HExDB. We found that 16.8% of the exons in the database was constitutive exons and 83.1% were novel gene exons.

PURPOSE: Human herpesviruses have been associated with the etiology of several human cancers. The role of these viruses in carcinogenesis has not yet been clarified. This study focused on identifying and characterizing the transforming potential of cloned DNA fragments from human cytomegalovirus (HCMV). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Multiple DNA fragments of HCMV were applied to cells for transformation. Morphological transforming region II (mtrII) of HCMV strain Towne has been identified to a 3.0kb XbaI-BamHI DNA fragment which was retained in transformed cells. The transforming activity was induced by a 980 bp BaII-Xho I subfragment (pBS980) containing both promoter/ regulatory elements as well as three open reading frames (ORFs), i.e., 79ORF, 83ORF, and 34ORF. The ORFs have been evaluated for transforming potential in NIH3T3 cells. RESULTS: MtrII (pBS980) has BglII restriction enzyme site which divides into two subfragments, pBS440 and pBS540, the latter has whole 83ORF, 34ORF, and fragment of 79ORF, the former has only fragment of 79ORF. Among three ORFs, 83ORF and 34ORF were not functional in transformation, because in pBS540 these ORFs were not truncated. CONCLUSION: The 79ORF (79-aa transforming peptide) has allowed a better approach to determine the role of HCMV in human carcinogenesis.
