Reliable TARMS-PCR is a prerequisite in constructing a solid conclusion in genetic diagnostics. The validity of data generated by this molecular technique is hampered by a false positive result. In attempt to develop a TARMS-PCR for HER2I655V genotyping with no interfering of bias we used DNase I to eliminate DNA contaminant resided in PCR reagent. TARMS-PCR without enzyme treatment using recombinant plasmids that contained HER2I655V gene with represented its alleles was used to evaluate the presence of false positive result while DNase I treated-PCR reagent was used in TARMS-PCR to evaluate the effective dose of the enzyme and further to adjust the TARMS-PCR conditions. PCR master mix kit used in this study produced a false positive result on HER2I655V TARMS-PCR as proven by the presence of multiple PCR products in Non-Template Control (NTC) and 0.1 U of the enzyme could eliminate this DNA contaminant effectively, although this pretreatment altered the specificity of HER2I655V TARMS-PCR genotyping on certain genotype. Combination of touchdown TARMS-PCR with another allele-specific primer recovered specificity of detection on this model system. Interestingly, this optimized HER2I655V TARMS-PCR can only be used for genotyping the clinical samples if only further optimization was done using genomic DNA as template

Pandanus conoideus Lam or 'Buah merah' of the Pandanaceae is native to East Indonesia, particularly Papua and North Maluku. Traditionally the fruits are used for health promotion and maintenance as well as for curing several illnesses. Recently, it has been reported that the fruits are potential for cancer medication . As a result, there has been an overexploitation of the plants from their habitats . In order to anticipate their possible disappearance due to overexploitation in the wild, an efficient and effective technology for the mass propagation, conservation and cultivation of these plants should be developed. Generally buah merah is propagated vegetatively by offshoots and stem cuttings or generatively by seeds. Micropropagation has many advantages over the conventional method. because the technique allows mass cIonal and pathogen-free production of plants at high rate of multiplication all year round . In this research the effects of 0,1 -0.2 mg/l thidiazuron (TDZ), 0.5- 1.0 benzyl amino purine (BAP) and 0.25-0.5 mg/l Kinetin (KN) on shoot bud induction and proliferation of P. conoideus were investigated using nodal sections or lateral buds or P. conoideus on modified Murashige and skoog medium. Shoots were rooted on MS medium without plant growth regulators (PGR) . The result showed that lateral buds of Pandanus started to initiate growth after 4-7 days in culture. The best medium for shoot proliferation was MS containing either 0,5 mg/l BAP with 0.1 mg/ l TDZ or I mg/l BAP with 0.5 mg/I KN. giving a multiplication rate of I6.5 shootlets per shootbud explant after 8 weeks Rooting of shoots was successfully conducted on MS medium without PGR. Acclimatization of rooted plantlets was achieved on a mixed medium of cocopeat and soil (1:1). Keywords: Buah merah (Pandanus conoideus). lateral buds, BAP. TDZ. KN

Recombinant human interferon alpha-2a (rhIFNα-2a) has been widely used for clinical therapy as antiviral, anticancer as well as immunomodulator. In this study, the open reading frame (ORF) encoding synthetic hIFNα-2a was constructed to be in framed with N-terminal alpha factor secretion system in methylotropic yeast Pichia pastoris. This research aimed to construct, express and analyse the non-affinity tagged recombinant human interferon alpha-2a in the methilotropic yeast P. pastoris. We used pPICZαB plasmid for cloning and expression vector. The confirmed recombinant plasmid containing the correct DNA sequence of hIFNα-2a was linearized by SacI restriction enzyme, then transformed into P. pastoris genome using electroporation. We screened two multi-copy recombinants in YPDS plates containing Zeocin™. Buffered complex medium containing 0.5 % methanol (BMMY) was used for protein expression for 48 hours in the culture condition. The recombinant protein was purified by blue sepharose affinity chromatography. Analyses of hIFNα-2a protein by SDS-PAGE and Western blot confirmed that protein band in which was observed around 19.2 kDa, was recombinant hIFNα-2a. The quantification of purified rhIFNα-2a using colorimetric binichoninic assay (BCA) informed that the yield was 44 mg/L culture (OD600= 2-3).

Drought is one of the most important abiotic stresses in rice (Oryza sativa) productivity. The development of drought tolerant cultivars are therefore highly desireable. We have developed insertional mutant based on the Japonica rice cv Nipponbare rice by transposons Ac/Ds insertions containing activation-tag and gene trap. Screening of the mutant population for drought tolerant related phenotypes is of our priority. The screening protocol based on PEG 6000 has been developed and was being used to screen 70 mutant lines to characterize their responds to the treatment based on different parameters (number of leaf, total weight, plant height, root length and number of germinating seeds). These characters were used to score the Degradation Index and Vigour Index. Results showed varrying responds of the lines to the osmotic presure. Some lines showing a good performance indicated by lower Degradation Index and higher Vigour Index have been identified. Some inconsistencies in the performances scored by both indices were thought to be due to seed quality. Keywords: Oryza sativa, insertion mutant, drought, PEG 6000, Degradation Index, Vigor Index.

The role of motif n (DEAR AsPw-GlulK,,-Ala.,.7-Hi 1~~ ) of Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) NS3 protein on RNA binding activity was studied. A point mutation was introduced to the motif and the RNA binding activity of each mutant protein was analyzed. Truncated form of each protein with a His-tag was expressed m Escherichia coli BL2l(DE3) pLysS and purified by metal affinity resin. Asp-285 - and Glu-286 was respectively substituted with Ala, AJa-287 was replaced by Cys.,Gly. or ser. His-288 was mutated to other 19 amino acids. In total. 24 mutant proteins were produced and analyzed. AL results, all mutants showed quite similar RNA binding activity. Indicating that motif II of JEY NS3 is not related to RNA binding activity. The same finding was reported for hepatitis C virus c (Hey) NS3 protein, suggesting the similar structure of NS3 protein in flavivirus .Keywords: Japanese encephalitis, R.binding, motif
