폴리비닐리덴플로라이드(PVDF) 지지체 위에 빗살모양의 술폰화된 공중합체를 코팅하여 나노 분리막을 제조하였다. 빗살모양의 공중합체는 원자전달 라디칼 중합법(ATRP)에 의해 제조하였으며, 폴리비닐클로라이드의 주사슬과 폴리스티렌 술폰산(PSSA)의 곁사슬로 구성되어 있다. 핵자기 공명법(1 H-NMR), FT-IR분광학 그리고 WAXS 분석법에 의해 공중합체가 성공적으로 합성되었음을 확인하였다 PVC-g-PSSA로 구성된 복합 나노 분리막은 PSSA의 함량이 증가함에 따라 플럭스와 배제율 모두 증가하였다. 이러한 성능 향상은 분리막의 술폰산의 함량의 증가로써 설명할 수 있다. PSSA가 71wt%첨가된 나노 복합막의 배제율은 Na2SO4 88%, NaCl 33%을 나타내었고, 플럭스는 Na2SO4 26, NaCl 34 L/m 2 h을 각각 나타내었다.

Gene expression is regulated by DNA and histone methylation by DNA and histone methyltransferases, respectively. In animal system, DNA methyltransferase with CG methylation activity is modified by SUMO conjugation and then its activity was increased, which means that the activity of DNA methyltransferase is modulated by posttranslational modification. so Chromatin remodeling is a new concept for expression of controlling of gene function. We thus analyzed the effect of E3 SUMO ligase AtSIZ1 in CMT3 (chromometnylase 3)-mediated genome methylation by next-generation sequencing (NGS), methyl binding domain MeDIP-sequencing and gene analysis using siz1-2 and cmt3 mutants. we carried out CG-enrich analysis by MeDIP sequencing revealed that the methylation level of the genome including transposons was significantly low in siz1-2 mutants compared to wild-type. Result showed the genes regulated by methylation, that genes related of embryo and root development, cellulose metabolism, and post-translational modifications. All of our data indicate that the methyltransfearse activity of CMT3 may be able to be regulated by AtSIZ1 and thereby CMT3-mediated gene expression and plant development also can be controlled by E3 SUMO ligase activity. Besides, our data also suggest that ammonium (NH4+) can stimulate AtSIZ1- and CMT3- mediated DNA methylation.

Flowering time is a important agronomic trait for grain production in rice. So the control of flowering time is a critical step. In Arabidopsis, expression of certain key flowering gene such as FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) is known to be epigenetically regulated by chromatin modification through Enhancer of Zeste[E(z)], a histone methyltransferase, that core component of repressive complex, polycomb repressive complex2(PRC2). However, the chromatin mechanism involved in the regulation of rice flowering genes is presently not well known. Here we show that predict coding region of a intronic LncRNA[termed rice COLDAIR(OsCOLDAIR)], which is expected to associate with a component of PRC2, is predicted at rice FLC gene. And additionally we suggest interaction of histone methyltransferase and E3 SUMO ligase that indicate possibility of interaction with rice E(z) gene and rice E3 SUMO ligase. Our study contribute to control of rice flowering time by observing two factor that can regulate expression of related of rice FLC gene.

The composition and distribution of seed storage proteins are important factors for eating quality such as grain flavor and quality in rice (OryzasativaL.) Rice protein disulfide isomerase (OsPDI) and binding protein (OsBIP) regulate synthesis, stability and sorting of storage proteins. We thus have tried to develop a marker protein for selection of rice cultivars which have different eating quality. Immunoblot analysis revealed that protein levels of OsPDI and OsBIP have no direct correlation with eating quality, suggesting that they may indirectly participate in control of eating quality through their-interacting partners or other regulatory mechanism.
