<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P>The interplay between hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and histone deacetylase (HDACs) have been well studied; however, the mechanism of cross-talk is unclear. Here, we investigated the roles of HDAC4 and HDAC5 in the regulation of HIF-1α function and its associated mechanisms. HDAC4 and HDAC5 enhanced transactivation by HIF-1α without stabilizing HIF-1α. HDAC4 and HDAC5 physically associated with HIF-1α through the inhibitory domain (ID) that is the binding site for factor inhibiting HIF-1 (FIH-1). In the presence of these HDACs, binding of HIF-1α to FIH-1 decreased, whereas binding to p300 increased. These results indicate that HDAC4 and HDAC5 increase the transactivation function of HIF-1α by promoting dissociation of HIF-1α from FIH-1 and association with p300.</P><P><B>Structured summary:</B></P><P>MINT-6802187:</P><P><I>HIF1 alpha</I> (uniprotkb:Q16665) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0218) with <I>FIH1</I> (uniprotkb:Q9NWT6) by <I>anti bait coimmunoprecipitation</I> (MI:0006)</P><P>MINT-6802058:</P><P><I>HIF1 alpha</I> (uniprotkb:Q16665) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0218) with <I>HDAC4</I> (uniprotkb:P56524) by <I>pull down</I> (MI:0096)</P><P>MINT-6802021:</P><P><I>HIF1 alpha</I> (uniprotkb:Q61221) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0218) with <I>HDAC4</I> (uniprotkb:P56524) by <I>anti bait coimmunoprecipitation</I> (MI:0006)</P><P>MINT-6802036:</P><P><I>HIF1 alpha</I> (uniprotkb:Q61221) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0218) with <I>HDAC5</I> (uniprotkb:Q9UQL6) by <I>anti bait coimmunoprecipitation</I> (MI:0006)</P><P>MINT-6802102:</P><P><I>HIF1 alpha</I> (uniprotkb:Q16665) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0218) with <I>HDAC5</I> (uniprotkb:Q9UQL6) by <I>pull down</I> (MI:0096)</P><P>MINT-6802121, MINT-6802156:</P><P><I>P300</I> (uniprotkb:Q09472) <I>physically interacts</I> (MI:0218) with <I>HIF1 alpha</I> (uniprotkb:Q16665) by <I>anti bait coimmunoprecipitation</I> (MI:0006)</P>

A Na⁺-coupled C₄-dicarboxylate transporter (Asuc_0304) and aerobic growth of <i>Actinobacillus succinogenes</i> on C₄-dicarboxylates

Rhie, Mi Na,Yoon, Hyo Eun,Oh, Hye Yun,Zedler, Sandra,Unden, Gottfried,Kim, Ok Bin Society for General Microbiology 2014 Microbiology Vol.160 No.7

<P><I>Actinobacillus succinogenes</I>, which is known to produce large amounts of succinate during fermentation of hexoses, was able to grow on C<SUB>4</SUB>-dicarboxylates such as fumarate under aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Anaerobic growth on fumarate was stimulated by glycerol and the major product was succinate, indicating the involvement of fumarate respiration similar to succinate production from glucose. The aerobic growth on C<SUB>4</SUB>-dicarboxylates and the transport proteins involved were studied. Fumarate was oxidized to acetate. The genome of <I>A. succinogenes</I> encodes six proteins with similarity to secondary C<SUB>4</SUB>-dicarboxylate transporters, including transporters of the Dcu (C<SUB>4</SUB>-dicarboxylate uptake), DcuC (C<SUB>4</SUB>-dicarboxylate uptake C), DASS (divalent anion : sodium symporter) and TDT (tellurite resistance dicarboxylate transporter) family. From the cloned genes, Asuc_0304 of the DASS family protein was able to restore aerobic growth on C<SUB>4</SUB>-dicarboxylates in a C<SUB>4</SUB>-dicarboxylate-transport-negative <I>Escherichia coli</I> strain. The strain regained succinate or fumarate uptake, which was dependent on the electrochemical proton potential and the presence of Na<SUP>+</SUP>. The transport had an optimum pH ~7, indicating transport of the dianionic C<SUB>4</SUB>-dicarboxylates. Transport competition experiments suggested substrate specificity for fumarate and succinate. The transport characteristics for C<SUB>4</SUB>-dicarboxylate uptake by cells of aerobically grown <I>A. succinogenes</I> were similar to those of Asuc_0304 expressed in <I>E. coli</I>, suggesting that Asuc_0304 has an important role in aerobic fumarate uptake in <I>A. succinogenes</I>. Asuc_0304 has sequence similarity to bacterial Na<SUP>+</SUP>-dicarboxylate cotransporters and contains the carboxylate-binding signature. Asuc_0304 was named SdcA (<U>s</U>odium-coupled C<SUB>4</SUB>-<U>d</U>i<U>c</U>arboxylate transporter from <I><U>A</U></I>. <I>succinogenes</I>).</P>

비결핵성 미코박테리아에 의한 척추염에 대한 증례 보고가 국내에서는 아직 없었다. 저자들은 기저질환이 없는 환자에서 M. intracellulare에 의한 척추염을 rpoB 유전자에 대한 PCR-RFLP 방법을 통해 진단하였고 수술적 치료와 3제 병합 항균 요법으로 성공적인 임상 경과를 보인 1예를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다. We report a case of vertebral osteomyelitis due to Mycobacterium intracellulare in a 60-year-old man without predisposing conditions. He was successfully treated with surgical excision of the inflamed tissue and combined antimycobacterial therapy consisting of clarithromycin, ethambutol, and rifampin. In this case, polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis (PCR-RFLP) based on the rpo B gene of cultured isolates allowed rapid identification of M. intracellulare. Although very rare, nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) should be suspected as a causative pathogen of vertebral osteomyelitis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of vertebral osteomyelitis caused by NTM reported in the Korean literature.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between the knowledge of hemodialysis and the compliance of patient role behavior in hemodialysis patients. This study was descriptive correlational study. Data were collected by questionnaire from 122 hemodialysis patients. Data were collected by questionnaire from 122 hemodialysis patients. In knowledge about hemodialysis, there were significant difference in age, education level, marital status, paying for the treatment and number of oral medication. In compliance of patient role behavior, there were significant difference in age, education level and paying for the treatment. The correlation between knowledge about hemodialysis and compliance of patient role behavior was statistically significant (r=.354, p=0.000). It is proved the research hypothesis, that is, 'statistically difference in the knowledge of hemodialysis and the compliance of patient role behaviour'. Based upon these findings, it was relevant that the knowledge of hemodialysis itself can promote the compliance of patient role behaviour in hemodialysis patients who are characterized by long time period treatment. As a result, it is very important to increase patients' knowledge of hemodialysis by learning in order to get a great treatment efficiency in case of hemodialysis patients.

VRE 감염이 중환자에서 급속히 증가하고 있으나 이에 대한 확실한 치료제가 없어 새로운 항생제에 대한 활발한 연구가 있는데 그 중 하나가 quinupristin/dalfopristin이고, 저자들은 중증 환자들의 VRE 감염에 대해 quinupristin/dalfopristin를 투여하여 치료한 임상적 경험을 하였기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다. Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) was first recognized in 1992 in Korea. VRE infection have been increasingly reported in immunosuppressed patients over the past decade and have become one of major nosocomial pathogens. Clinicians carings for patients with VRE infections face severe constraints in the selection of treatment. Quinupristin/dalfopristin is active in vitro againt vancomycin-resistant E. faecium (VREF), with a MIC_(90) of 1.0㎍/mL. We studied the clinical efficacy and safety of this agent in the treatment of VREF infection. Patients were included if they had signs and symptoms of active infection including bacteremia, intra-abdominal infection, and wound infection. A total of 13 patients with VREF infection were enrolled. A favorable clinical response (cure or improvement) occured in 10 of 11 evaluable patients. The only adverse events related to quinupristin/dalfopristin were arthralgia and myalgia, which occurred in 2 of 13 patients. These results suggest that quinupristin/dalfopristin is effective and safe as treatment for VREF infections in critically ill patients with serious underlying conditions.

Group occupational health service programme started in 1990 is one of the measures to cope with limited human and financial resources in occupational health. The programme has expanded rapidly to include 52 institutions, private as well as public, all over the country. In spite of its potential impact on health of employees and practice of occupational health in small and medium sized industries, comprehensive evaluation in terms of quality has not been tried. This study has aims to develop the criteria to assess the quality of newly developed group occupational health service programme, and to investigate the quality of institutions, and finally to develop policies for the quality improvement. 1) Criteria development : By defining occupational health services, in particular for small and medium sized industries, as one of the primary health care, followings are included as core elements of qualitative occupational health programme; accessibility, continuity, comprehensiveness, technical quality, intersectoral collaboration, emphasis on preventive services, community participation, and adequacy. Again each element is divided into five major components of national health system infrastructure developed by the World Health Organization; development of health resources, organized arrangement of resources, delivery of health care, economic support, and management. In turn, each component is categorized into three aspects of quality assessment, structure, process and outcome. Expert panel selected several criteria for each category to evaluate the programme. Criteria were modified according to each group of interviewees, to produce two sets of questionnaire, one for chief operating officer and another for nurses in the institutions, and the chief operating officer and workers in the workplace. 2) Subject : Of all 52 institutions, 25 voluntarily participated in the survey. At individual institution, chief operating officer and practicing nurses were interviewed in depth. After intensive education for interviewees, every interviewees, every interview was performed with standardized guideline and questionnaire. The quality of the 'Group occupational health service programme' was found to be lower than expected. Especially in continuity, comprehensiveness, technical quality, community participation and adequacy, lower quality in structural aspect was commonly identified throughout all the institutions,. Quality in terms of accessibility and continuity highly varied among institutions., To improve quality of the programme, more comprehensive and systematic programme such as accreditation has to be introduced. In addition, human resources, governmental fund and information systems for individual workers are to be developed. As a long range plan, integration of occupational health services into the national health systems and pooling of financial resources and planned allocation should be considered.

A species of facultative photo-organotrophic, purple, non-sulfur bacterium was isolated from the 47 point at west and south coast of Korea in September 2001. Separated 13 samples of changes with red color under 28~32 ℃, 3000 lux, anaerobe conditions for 7 days cultivated in basal medium. For pure isolation from 13 samples, we used agar-shake tube method (0.4 % agar) and separated 5 strains through 13-repetition test. EGH-24 and EGH-30 was identified as the same strain through the RAPD(Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA)-PCR of strain EGH-9, EGH-13, EGH-23, EGH-24, EGH-30. Four isolates cultivated in synthesis wastewater for wastewater biodegradation test. EGH-24 was selected with efficient wastwater treating strain. Based on the results obtained from morphology, nutrient requirements, major bacteriochlorophyll content, 16S-rDNA phylogenetic analysis, EGH-24 strain may be identified as a new strain of the genus Rhodobacter and named Rhodobacter sp. EGH-24.

Background : Nontyphoid Salmonella (NTS) is a leading cause of human food-borne enteritis, It has been known that integron, a naturally occurring gene capture and expression element, Plays an important role in the development and dissemination of multidrug-resistance. In this study, we investigated the prevalences and molecular characteristics of integrons in NTS clinical strains. Materials and Methods : Between 1995-96 and 2000-03, a total 261 NTS clinical strains comprising 39 serotypes were collected from clinical specimens. All strains were serotyped, and the MICs of ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulfamethoxazole, tetracycline, and trimethoprim were determined by agar dilution method. Integrons were detected by PCR amplification of integrase genes, and gene cassettes were determined by PCR and sequencing, Conjugation experiments were performed using E. coli J53 as a recipient. The clonal relationship was analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresls (PFGE). Results : Of the 261 strains tested, class 1 integrons were present in 21 strains (8.0%). Class 2 and class 3 integrons were not found. The integron-positive rate was higher in S. Typhimurium (24.2% [8/33]) than in S. Enteritidis (2.0% [3/153]). Overall rates of antimicrobial resistance were higher in integron-positive strains. dhfr12-orfF-aadA2gene cassette was detected in 5 strains, aadA2in 4 strains, dhfr17-orfF-aadA5 in 2 strains, and addA1 in 1 strain. Ten integron-positive transconjugants were successfully selected. Among 8 integron-positive strains of S. Typhimurium, 7 had similar PFGE patterns. Conclusion: This study suggests that integrons are already playing a significant role in antimicrobial resistance in NTS. Continuous monitoring is needed to detect the emergence and spread of integron-mediated antimicrobial resistance.
