초록

암(dark) 상태에서 재배한 대두의 하배축 길이 생장의 분자 기작을 연구하기 위한 일환으로 암 상태에서 재배한 대두 하배축으로부터 cDNA library를 제작한 후 ESTs를 구축하였다. 이들 ESTs 중 색소체 ABC 단백질과 아미노산 서열이 매우 유사한 clone을 선발한 후 이 유전자의 전체염기서열을 결정하였다. GmNAP1 단백질은 엽록체로 향하는 transit peptide 서열이 존재한다. 빛에 의해 GmNAP1 유전자 전사가 어떻게 변화되는지 알아보기 위해 지속적인 적색광, 근적색광 그리고 암 상태에서 성장시키면서 유전자의 전사량을 확인하였다. 이 색소체 NAP1는 엽록소의 전구 물질인 protoporphytin IX를 세포질에서 엽록체로 이동시키는 기능을 한다. 대두에서 분리된 GmNAP1 유전자의 기능을 확인하기 위하여 35S 프로모터 뒤에 GmNAP1 유전자를 접합한 후 애기장대에 형질전환하였다. 형질전환 된 애기장대의 엽록소 함량은 야생형의 엽록소 함량보다 훨씬 높게 측정되었다.

In the course of a research concerning the molecular mechanism of hypocotyl elongation that occurs during soybean seedling growth in darkness, we have generated a number of ESTs from a cDNA library prepared from the hypocotyls of dark-grown soybean seedlings. Comparison of the ESTs assigned a cDNA clone as a putative plastidic ATP-binding-cassette (ABC) protein homologue. The soybean GmNAP1 protein contains an N-terminal transit peptide which targets it into the chloroplast. The transcription level of the GmNAP1 gene was investigated under continuous red light, continuous far-red light, and complete darkness. The main function of this NAP1 protein is the transport of protoporphyrin IX which is the precursor of chlorophyll from the cytoplasm to the chloroplast. The GmNAP1 gene was transferred into the Arabidopsis under the CaMV 35S promoter. The chlorophyll level of this transgenic Arabidopsis plant was much higher than the chlorophyll level of the wild type Arabidopsis plant.
