    Abstract Realizing the promise of precision medicine in psychiatry is a laudable and beneficial endeavor, since it should markedly reduce morbidity and mortality and, in effect, alleviate the economic and social burden of psychiatric disorders. This review aims to summarize important issues on pharmacogenomics in psychiatry that have laid the foundation towards personalized pharmacotherapy and, in a broader sense, precision medicine. We present major pharmacogenomic biomarkers and their applications in a variety of psychiatric disorders, such as depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), narcolepsy, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder. In addition, we extend the scope into epilepsy, since antiepileptic drugs are widely used to treat psychiatric disorders, although epilepsy is conventionally considered to be a neurological disorder.

    Abstract Emerging viruses pose a major threat to humans and livestock with global public health and economic burdens. Vaccination remains an effective tool to reduce this threat, and yet, the conventional cell culture often fails to produce sufficient vaccine dose. As an alternative to cell-culture based vaccine, virus-like particles (VLPs) are considered as a highpriority vaccine strategy against emerging viruses. VLPs represent highly ordered repetitive structures via macromolecular assemblies of viral proteins. The particulate nature allows efficient uptake into antigen presenting cells stimulating both innate and adaptive immune responses towards enhanced vaccine efficacy. Increasing research activity and translation opportunity necessitate the advances in the design of VLPs and new bioprocessing modalities for efficient and cost-effective production. Herein, we describe major achievements and challenges in this endeavor, with respect to designing strategies to harnessing the immunogenic potential, production platforms, downstream processes, and some exemplary cases in developing VLP-based vaccines.

    Abstract DNA-binding proteins from starved cells (Dps) in Escherichia coli protects DNA from multiple stresses during the stationary phase by forming a stable Dps-DNA complex. In contrast, Dps cannot bind to DNA during the exponential phase and it has not been clear why Dps conditionally binds to DNA depending on the growth phase. In this study, we show that DNA-free Dps in the exponential phase can also bind to RNA and the preemptive binding of RNA precludes DNA from interacting with Dps. The critical role of RNA in modulating the stability and functional competence of Dps and their morphology, leads us to propose a two-state model of Dps in executing stress responses. In the exponential phase, Dps is present predominantly as ribonucleoprotein complex. Under starvation, RNAs are degraded by up-regulated RNases, activating Dps to bind with chromosomal DNAs protecting them from diverse stresses. A dual role of RNA as an inhibitor of DNA binding and chaperone to keep dynamic functional status of Dps would be crucial for operating an immediate protection of chromosomal DNAs on starvation. The holdase-type chaperoning role of RNA in Dps-mediated stress responses would shed light on the role of RNAs as chaperone (Chaperna).

    Abstract Objectives: As personalized medicine (PM) is expected to greatly improve health outcomes, efforts have recently been made for its clinical implementation in Korea. We aimed to evaluate public awareness and attitude regarding PM.
    Methods: We performed a self-administered questionnaire survey to 703 adults, who participated in the survey on a voluntary basis. The primary outcome measures included public knowledge, attitude, and acceptance of PM. We conducted multinomial multivariate logistic analysis for outcome variables with three response categories and performed multivariate logistic regression analyses for dichotomous outcome variables.
    Results: Only 28% of participants had knowledge that genetic factors can contribute to inter-individual variations in drug response and the definition of PM (199 out of 702). Higher family income was correlated with greater knowledge concerning PM (OR = 3.76, p = 0.034). A majority of respondents preferred integrated pharmacogenomic testing over drug-specific testing and agreed to inclusion of pharmacogenomic testing in the national health examination (64% and 77%, respectively), but only 51% were willing to pay for it.
    Discussion: Our results identify the urgent need for public education as well as the potential health disparities in access to PM. This study helps to frame policies for implementing PM in clinical practice.

    Abstract Molecular chaperones play an important role in cellular protein-folding assistance and aggregation inhibition. As a different but complementary model, we previously proposed that, in general, soluble cellular macromolecules with large excluded volume and surface charges exhibit intrinsic chaperone activity to prevent aggregation of their connected polypeptides irrespective of the connection type, thereby contributing to efficient protein folding. As a proof of concept, we here demonstrated that a model recombinant protein with a specific sequence-binding domain robustly exerted chaperone activity toward various proteins harbouring a short recognition tag of 7 residues in Escherichia coli. The chaperone activity of this protein was comparable to that of representative E. coli chaperones in vivo. Furthermore, in vitro refolding experiments confirmed the in vivo results. Our findings reveal that a soluble protein exhibits the intrinsic chaperone activity to prevent off-pathway aggregation of its interacting proteins, leading to more productive folding while allowing them to fold according to their intrinsic folding pathways. This study gives new insights into the plausible chaperoning role of soluble cellular macromolecules in terms of aggregation inhibition and indirect folding assistance.
