Abstract

In general, the mean silkmoth lifespan is around 8 days for female and 5 days for male. But, the duration of J037 strain's lifespan is remarkably long in both sexes. On the contrary, the Daizo(sdi) strain has a remarkably short lifetime. The differences in adult lifetime among various silkworm strains has been suggested that the adult lifetime may be genetically controlled. In this experiment, using J037 and Daizo strains we investigated genetic factors related to the adult lifetime of silkworm. We constructed the full-length cDNA library from the adult male of the J037 strain. A total of 2,688 clones were randomly selected, and we performed a differential display hybridization with cDNA probes generated from J037 and Daizo adult males. In conclusion, 193 clones were identified as differential expressed genes, and 154 unique genes were generated after the assembly of 193 clones. Of the 154 unique genes, the most abundant genes were cytochrome oxidase subunit-1 gene(9 times) and unknown(clone ID; 1-50) gene(5 times). The functional groups of these unique genes with matches in the AmiGo database were constructed according to their putative molecular functions. Among thirteen functional categories, the largest group was unclassified protein(24%). In addition, we analyzed the nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of the most highly occurred gene(1-50, EF434397), which consisted of 240 amino acids. However, it is confirmed yet that these genes really have an affected on the silkworms longevity. Further studies on these molecules biological roles will give us well-fined information about mechanisms of insect aging and/or scenesence.

일반적으로 누에나방의 평균 생존시수는 암컷과 수컷이 각각 8일과 5일로 알려져 있다. 그러나 J037 품종의 성충 수명은 상당히 길며, 반대로 Daizo(sdi) 품종은 상당히 짧은 성충 수명 특성을 갖고 있다. 이러한 누에 품종 간 성충 수명의 차이는 유전적 차이에 따른 현상으로 추정되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 장단명누에 품종의 발현유전자를 분석함으로써 누에 수명 관련 유전자를 탐색하여 그 특성을 분석하고자 하였다. 우선, 장명 수나방 mRNA를 사용하여 cDNA 유전자은행을 제작하고, 제작된 유전자은행으로부터 2,688개 클론을 무작위 선발한 후 장단명 수나방 cDNA를 각각의 탐침으로 차별화선별을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 차별화 발현하는 193개의 클론을 선발하여 EST 상동성 분석을 통해 최종적으로 154개의 J037 수나방 수명 관련 독립유전자를 선발할 수 있었는데, 장명 탐침에서 과발현하는 124개와 단명 탐침에서 과발현하는 30개로 구성된다. 154개 독립유전자 중 가장 많은 발현빈도수를 보인 유전자는 cytochrome oxidase subunit-1으로서 모두 9회로 확인되었고, 현재까지 기능에 관해 알려진 바 없는 1-50번 독립유전자가 5회로 두 번째로 높은 발현빈도를 보였다. 154개 선발 독립유전자를 기능별로 분류한 결과, unclassified protein군에 가장 많은 24%의 독립유전자가 포함되어 있었다. 본 연구에서 두 번째로 발현빈도가 높은 클론(ID;1-50)의 염기서열 및 아미노산 서열을 분석하였는데, 1-50번 유전자는 전체 1,523 bp 염기로 구성되어 있으며, 723개 염기쌍이 240개의 아미노산을 coding 하고 있었다. 본 연구에서 선발된 주요 수명 관련 유전자는 국제유전자은행 EST database에 등록하였다.
