Abstract

Copper,zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu,Zn-SOD) plays a key role to the first antioxidant defense system against oxidative stress in diverse aerobic organisms. Due to the housekeeping action of Cu,Zn-SOD, it was reported that the structure and function have been conserved during evolution. In this study Cu,Zn-SOD from cloudy catshark Scyliorhinus torazame was subjected to phylogenetic analyses to know its evolutionary relationship in the vertebrate lineage. Molecular phylogenetic trees inferred by NJ, MP, ML and/or Bayesian analyses showed two shark species, Prionace glauca and S. torazame grouped together with high statistical supports. In general, they placed at the separated position from bony vertebrates. Thereafter, bony vertebrates composed of teleosts and birds/mammals (amniotes) formed a monophyletic group. Each teleost and amniote clade was also supported by relatively high statistical values. These phylogenetic relationships are well congruent with the phylogenetic hypothesis of the ancestral position of cartilaginous fishes to bony vertebrates.

두툽상어 (Scyliorhinus torazame)부터 분리된 항산화 효소 Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (Cu,Zn-SOD 또는 SOD1)의 핵산 염기서열 및 추정 아미노산 서열을 대상으로 분자 계통학적 분석을 실시하였다. 종래 알려져 있는 척추동물의 Cu,Zn-SOD 서열들을 포함하여 neighbor-joining (NJ), maximum parsimony (MP), maximum likelihood (ML) 및 Bayesian 분석 등을 포함한 다양한 계통 분석을 수행하였으며, 이를 통해 연골어류인 본 어종의 척추동물 분류군 내에서의 계통적 위치를 추정하고자 하였다. 다양한 분자 계통수로부터 얻어진 대부분의 consensus tree들에서 분석에 사용한 분류군들은 종래 알려진 분류학적 위치와 비교적 잘 일치하였고, 이중 두툽상어는 같은 연골어류종인 blue shark와 높은 유연관계를 나타내면서 보다 진화한 경골어류들과는 확연히 구분되는 분지를 형성하였다. 특히 핵산 염기서열을 바탕으로 한 neighbor-joining 분석에서 두툽상어는 경골어류와 양막동물에 비해 보다 원시형태의 척추동물 Cu,Zn-SOD 유전자의 한 형태를 보유하고 있는 것으로 나타났다.
