Abstract

Saccharomyces cerevisiae ${\Sigma}1278b$ 균주는 FLO8 유전자를 가지고 있는 반면, S288c 균주는 flo8 정지돌연변이를 포함하고 있어서 반수체의 부착 생장, 배수체의 위균사형 생장 및 생물막 형성 현상을 보이지 않는다. S. cerevisiae의 LAMMER kinase인 ScKns1의 기능을 파악하기 위한 온도 감수성 실험을 수행한 결과, S288c 균주와 달리 ${\Sigma}1278b$ 균주가 $37^{\circ}C$의 열 스트레스에 민감함을 발견하였으며, 흥미롭게도 $Sckns1{\Delta}$ 돌연변이가 이러한 감수성을 회복시킴을 확인하였다. 또한 ${\Sigma}1278b$ 균주의 열 감수성은 삼투안정제인 sorbitol의 첨가에 의해 회복되었다. 이러한 결과는 Flo8은 ScKns1이 연관된 열 스트레스를 조절하는 신호전달경로를 구성할 가능성을 제시한다.

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288c strain does not show haploid and diploid filamentous growth, and biofilm formation, because it has a flo8 nonsense mutation unlike ${\Sigma}1278b$ strain which has a FLO8 gene. During the heat stress experiments to investigate the role of ScKns1, LAMMER kinase in S. cerevisiae, we found that ${\Sigma}1278b$ strain revealed heat sensitivity at $37^{\circ}C$, a mild heat stress in contrast to S288c strain. We also found that the disruption of ScKns1 and the addition of sorbitol suppress heat sensitivity of ${\Sigma}1278b$ strain. These results suggest the possibility that Flo8 and ScKns1 may interact to transducer a signal for regulating heat stress through a novel signaling pathway.
