Abstract

Abiotic stresses limit the growth and productivity of plants. Cellular adaptation to abiotic stresses requires coordinated regulation in gene expression directed by complex mechanisms. This study used the activation tagging system to identify novel salt stress-responsive genes. The study selected 9 activation tagging lines that showed salt stress-tolerant phenotypes during their germination stages. Thermal asymmetric interlaced-PCR (TAIL-PCR) was used to identify the T-DNA tagging sites on the Arabidopsis genome in selected activation tagging lines, including AT7508, AT7512, AT7527, AT7544, AT7548, and AT7556. RT-PCR analysis showed that ClpC2/HSP93-III (At3g48870), plant thionin family (At2g20605), anti-muellerian hormone type-2 receptor (At3g50685), vacuolar iron transporter family protein (At4g27870), and microtubule-associated protein (At5g16730) were activated in AT7508, AT7512, AT7527, AT7544, and AT7556, respectively. Interestingly, in AT7548, both the genes adjacent to the T-DNA insertion site were activated: Arabinogalactan protein 13 (AGP13) (At4g26320) and F-box/RNI-like/FBD-like domains-containing protein (At4g26340). All of the seven genes were newly identified as salt stress-responsive genes from this study. Among them, the expression of ClpC2/HSP93-III, AGP13, F-box/RNI-like/FBD-like domains-containing protein gene, and microtubule-associated protein gene were increased under salt-stress condition. In addition, AT7508, AT7527, and AT7544 were more tolerant to salt stress than wild type at seedling development stage, functionally validating the screening results of the activation tagging lines. Taken together, our results demonstrate that the activation tagging system is useful for identifying novel stress-responsive genes.

환경 스트레스는 식물의 성장을 저해하며 작물의 생산량을 감소시키는 주요 원인이다. 식물은 다양한 유전자의 발현 변화를 통해 스트레스에 대한 저항성을 나타낸다. 본 연구에서는 activation tagging system을 이용하여 기존에 밝혀지지 않은 새로운 고염 스트레스 반응 유전자들을 분리하였다. 애기장대의 발아 단계에서 고염 스트레스에 저항성을 보이는 9개의 activation tagging 라인을 선별하였다. 그 중 TAIL-PCR 방법을 이용하여 AT7508, AT7512, AT7527, AT7544, AT7548, AT7556의 6개 라인에서 T-DNA가 삽입된 위치를 확인하였으며 각 라인에서 T-DNA가 삽입된 주변 유전자의 발현을 RT-PCR로 분석하였는데 AT7508, AT7512, AT7527, AT7544, AT7556에서 각각 ClpC2/HSP93-III (At3g48870), plant thionin family (At2g20605), anti-muellerian hormone type-2 receptor (At3g50685), vacuolar iron transporter family protein (At4g27870), microtubule-associated protein (At5g16730)이 activation 된 것으로 밝혀졌다. 더불어 AT7548에서는 T-DNA가 삽입된 곳의 양쪽에 위치하는 두 유전자인 Arabinogalactan protein 13 (AGP13) (At4g26320)과 F-box/RNI-like/FBD-like domains-containing protein (At4g26340)이 모두 activation 되었다. Activation 된 7개 유전자는 기존에 고염 스트레스 저항성과 관련된 기능이 알려지지 않은 유전자로 본 연구를 통해 새롭게 고염 스트레스 반응에 대한 기능이 밝혀졌다. 7개의 activation된 유전자 중 ClpC2/HSP93-III, AGP13, F-box/RNI-like/FBD-like domains-containing protein의 3개 유전자는 고염 스트레스에 의해 발현이 증가하였다. 또한 AT7508과 AT7527, AT7544 라인은 발아 단계뿐만 아니라 유식물체 발달 과정에서도 고염 스트레스 저항성을 보여 activation tagging 라인의 선별 결과의 타당성을 뒷받침 하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 통해 activation tagging system이 새로운 스트레스 반응 유전자를 찾아낼 수 있는 유용한 기술임을 확인할 수 있었다.
