Abstract

Since there is no report about more than one gene expression simultaneously in a single mitochondria, this report is very important to novel type of eukaryotic gene expression. In this study, investigated whether mitochondrial expressed gene and GFP that expression in mitochondria of plant expressed to mitochondria. Expression vector (pBin) containing AtBI-1 (mitochondrial expressed gene) and GFP driven by 35S promoter was bombarded by gene gun to leaves and cotyledon of tobacco. Regenerated shoot confirmed expression of AtBI-1 in mitochondria by GFP expression, PCR, and Southern analysis. Successful mitochondria of plant cell transformation in this report implies possible eukaryotic mitochondrial transformation including plants and animals, and moreover two or more gene expression which can be excellent applicable protocols to pharmaceutical field including antibody production.

식물의 미토콘드리아에서 eukaryotic 유전자 발현하는 양상을 관찰한다는 것은 매우 중요하게 알여져 왔다. 본 실험에서는 식물의 미토콘드리아에서 발현하는 유전자와 GFP가 미토콘드리아에 발현하는지를 구명하였다. 미토콘드리아(mt)에서 발현 하는 AtBI-1 유전자와 GFP 유전자를 35S promoter를 가진 pBin vector에 재조합한 후, 유전자총을 이용한 형질전환법으로 담배의 잎과 cotyledon에 형질전환하여 재분화 된 shoot를 얻었다. mt에서 그 유전자가 발현 되는 것을 현미경하에서 GFP가 발광하는 것으로 확인하였다. 또한 PCR분석과 Southern분석에서도 미토콘드리아에서 AtBI-1 유전자가 발현함을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구의 결과로 mt에 관련된 유전자를 식물의 조직에 형질전환 하여 1개 이상의 유전자가 식물의 mt에 삽입되어 그 유전자의 특성이 발현되는데 이용되어 질수 있을것이라 생각된다.
