Abstract

A new heat shock protein 70 was identified in red-spotted grouper (Epinephelus akaara) based on an expression analysis. The cDNA of red-spotted grouper Hsp70 (designated RgHsp70) was cloned by the rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) techniques. The full-length of RgHsp70 cDNA was 2,152 bp, consisting of a 5'-terminal untranslated region (UTR) of 105 bp, a 3'-terminal UTR of 274 bp, and an open reading frame (ORF) of 1,773 bp that encode a polypeptide of 590 amino acids with a theoretical molecular weight of 64.9 kDa and an estimated isoelectric point of 5.2. Multiple alignment and phylogenetic analyses revealed that the RgHsp70 gene shares a high similarity with other Hsp70 fish genes. RgHsp70 contained all three classical Hsp70 family signatures. The results indicated the RgHsp70 is a member of the heat shock protein 70 family. RgHsp70 mRNA was predominately expressed in the liver, with reduced expression noted in the head-kidney tissues. The expression analysis of different water temperatures (21, 18, 15 and $12^{\circ}C$) for sampled livers revealed that expression gradually increased at $12^{\circ}C$ compared to $21^{\circ}C$. In this study, the effects of water temperature lowering on the physiological conditions were investigated, and the results revealed that novel RgHsp70 may be an important molecule involved in stress responses.

한국의 고급 양식대상 어종인 붉바리(Epinephelus akaara)로부터 새로운 heat shock protein (Hsp) 70을 동정하였다. 붉바리 Hsp70 (RgHsp70)의 cDNA는 RACE (rapid amplification of cDNA ends)법을 사용하였고, RgHsp70 cDNA의 전장은 2,152 bp이고, 5'-terminal untranslated region (UTR)은 105 bp, 3'-terminal UTR은 274 bp, 590개의 아미노산을 암호화하는 open reading frame (ORF)는 1,773 bp였으며, 분자무게(molecular weight)는 64.9 kDa 및 등전위값(isoelectric point, pI)은 5.2였다. 추정되는 아미노산 비교 및 계통발생학적 분석 결과, 다른 어종과 마찬가지로 Hsp70 고유의 signature를 포함하는 것을 비롯하여 높은 유사성을 나타내었으므로 RgHsp70이 Hsp70 family임을 확인할 수 있었다 RgHsp70 mRNA는 간과 두신 조직에서 높은 발현을 보였으며, 48시간 동안 수온별(21, 18, 15 및 $12^{\circ}C$) 노출 후 간 조직에서 대조구인 $21^{\circ}C$보다 $12^{\circ}C$에서 발현이 증가함을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서는, 수온이 하강함에 따라 RgHsp70 mRNA 발현에 주요한 영향을 미치는 것으로 보아, 수온변화에 따른 스트레스로 인해 발현의 변화를 나타내는 주요 스트레스성 단백질임을 확인할 수 있었다.
