SIPK와 WIPK의 상위 단계 인산화 효소로 알려진 NtMEK2가 DEX 유도성 시스템에 의해 밝혀졌다. 이 NtMEK2 유전자가 지속적으로 활성화된 돌연변이체인 $NtMEK2^{DD}$의 발현은 SIPK와 WIPK를 활성화 시켜 주므로 과민감 반응과 같은 세포 괴사를 야기하는 것으로 나타나 NtMEK2-SIPK/WIPK 체계가 담배에서 방어 반응을 조절하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 NtMEK2-SIPK/WIPK 체계에 의해서 조절 되는 하위 기질이나 방어관련 유전자들에 대한 연구는 아직 미비한 상태이다. 그래서 본 연구는 NtMEK2-SIPK/WIPK 체계에 매개되는 하위 유전자들을 분리하기 위하여 $NtMEK2^{DD}$ 형질전환 식물체를 이용해 ACP에 기초한 DDRT-PCR을 수행하였다. 그 결과 본 연구를 통해 처음으로 pI2-4, MTS2, SINA, CDM1, HRGP 및 DEG45를 포함해 여섯 개의 DEG들을 선발하였다. 이 유전자들의 발현은 $NtMEK2^{DD}$ 형질전환에서 다시 확인하였으며 특히 pI2-4, CDM1, HRGP의 유전자 발현은 다른 유전자들과 비교해 볼 때 살리실산과 담배모자이크바이러스에 강하게 반응하여 증폭됨을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 볼 때 NtMEK2-SIPK/WIPK 체계에 의해 조절되는 세 개의 유전자는 병저항성에 관여하고 있음을 제시한다 하겠다.

The molecular understanding of resistance and susceptibility of host plants to scab, a most threatful disease to pome fruit production worldwide, is very limited. Comparing resistant line '93-3-98' to susceptible one 'Sweet Skin' at seven time points of 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8 days post inoculation, RNA-sequencing data derived from infected and mock-inoculated young leaves were analyzed to evaluate the tolerant response and to mine candidate genes of pear to the scab pathogen Venturia nashicola. Analysis of the mapped reads showed that the infection of V. nashicola led to significant differential expression of 17,827 transcripts with more than 3-fold change in the seven pairs of libraries, of which 9,672 (54%) are up- and 8,155(46%) are down-regulated. These included mainly receptor (NB-ARC domains-containing, CC-NBS-LRR, TIR-NBS-LRR, seven transmembrane MLO family protein) and transcription factor (ethylene responsive element binding, WRKY DNA-binding protein) related gene. An arsenal of defense response of highly resistant pear accessions derived from European pear was probably supposed no sooner had V. nashicola infected its host than host genes related to disease suppression like Polyketide cyclase/dehydrase and lipid transport protein, WRKY family transcription factor, lectin protein kinase, cystein-rich RLK, calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding copine protein were greatly boosted and eradicated cascade reaction induced by pathogen within 24 hours. To identify transcripts specifically expressed in response to V. nashicola, RT-PCRs were conducted and compare to the expression patterns of seven cultivars with a range of highly resistant to highly susceptible symptom. A DEG belonging to the PR protein family genes that were higher expressed in response to V. nashicola suggesting extraordinary role in the resistance response were led to the identification. This study provides the first transcriptional profile by RNA-seq of the host plant during scab disease and insights into the response of tolerant pear plants to V. nashicola.
