  • The structure of plasmid mlp1, a linear 10.2kb mitochondrial plasmid of Pleurotus ostreatus NFF A2 was determined by restriction enzyme mapping and partial sequencing. The plasmid encodes at least two proteins; a putative RNA polymerase showing homology to yeast mitochondrial RNA polymerase and to viral-encoded RNA polymerases, and a putative DNA polymerase showing significant homology to the family B thpe DNA polymerases. It also contains terminal inverted repeat sequences at both ends which are longer than 274 bp. A 1.6 kb EcoRI restriction fragment of m1p1 containing the putative RNA polymerase gene did not hybridize to the nuclear or motochondrial genomes from P. ostreatus, suggesting that it may encode plasmidspecific RNA polymerase. The gene fragment also did not hybridize with the RNA polymerase gene (RPO41) from Saccaromyces cerevisiae. The relationship between genes in m1p1 and those in another linear plasmid pC1K1 of Claviceps purpurea was examined by DNA hybridization. The result indicates that the genes for DNA and RNA polymerases are not closely related with those in C. purpurea.

  • The mitochondrial plasmid pMLP1 from a white-rot fungus, Pleurotus ostreatus, is a double-stranded DNA containing 381 bp terminal inverted repeat (TIR) whose 5'-ends are covalently bound by terminal proteins. The plasmid contains two major open reading frames (ORFs), encoding putative DNA and RNA polymerases, and a minor ORF encoding a small, highly basic protein. To identify the DNA binding activity that recognizes the TIR region of pMLP1, gel retardation assays were performed with mitochondrial extracts. A specific protein binding to a region between 123 and 248 nt within TIR was observed. We examined whether the gene product of mORF1 bindes to this region specifically. E. coli cell extract which contains an overproduced mORF1 protein formed a complex specific to the region between 123 and 248 nt. Inclusion of mORF1 protein in the specific complex formed between P. ostreatus mitochondrial extract and TIR was confirmed by a supershift assay using polyclonal antibodies against the mORF1 protein. Our result suggest that the product of mORF1 may function as a terminal region recognition factor (TRF), recognizing an internal region in TIR.

  • Pleurotus ostreatus에서는 10.2 kb와 7.2 kb의 미토콘드리아 선상 플라스미드 DNA가 존재함이 발견되었다. 이 플라스미드 DNA의 양쪽 5'말단에는 단백질이 공유 결합되어있다고 알려져 있다. 최근에 P.ostreatus의 10.2 kb 미토콘드리아 선상 플라스미드 DNA를 다른 곰팡이의 선상 플라스미드 DNA에 존재하는 open reading frame(ORF)와 비교 분석하여 Podospora anserina의 플라스미드 pAL2의 DNA polymerase 및 RNA polymerase 암호부위와 유사성이 있음이 확인되었다. 본 연구에서는 7.2 kb선상 DNA를 HindIII잘라서 얻은 2조각의 절편(4.7 kb, 2.3 kb)을 클로닝하고 염기 서열을 분석하였다. 클로닝된 7 kb 절편에는 3개의 ORF,즉 ORF1(2982 bp, 993 amino acids), ORF2(2703 bp, 900 amino acids), ORF3(771 bp, 256 amino acids)가 존재함을 확인하였다 또한, 이들의 ORF를 분석한 결과, DNA polymerase와 RNA polymerase 암호부위와 유사성 이 있음을 확인하였다.

  • 백색 부후균인 plaurotus ostreatus 의 4가지의 균주로부터 각각 10.2 kb 와 7.2 kb (NFFA 2), 두 종류의 10.2 kb (NFFA 4001) 11.2 kb (NFFA 4501), 10.2kb 와 11.2 kb(KFCC 11635) 크기의 미토콘드리아 플라스미드들을 분리해 내었다. NFFA 2 의 변종인 NFFA 2m1 과 NFFA 2m2 에서는 이들 플라스미드가 관찰되지 않았다. 분별 원심분리에 의해 얻은 미토콘드리아에서 핵산을 추출하여 agarose gel 에서 전기영동시키면 플라스미드가 관찰되지 않았으나 proteinase K 를 처리하고 핵산을 추출하여 전기영동한 결과 이들 플라스미드가 관찰되었는에, 이는 플라스미드상에 단백질인 결합되어 있음을 시사한다. Proteinase K 를 처리한 플라스미드 DNA 와 exonuclease 를 반응시킨 결과, 이들 플라스미드들은 5'말단에 단백질이 결합된 성형 이중가닥 DNA의 구조를 가진 것을 확인하였다. 각 플라스미드들의 상호관계를 조사하기 위하여 Southern hybridization 을 수행한 결과 최소 3가지 종류의 플라스미드들로 분류할 수 있었다. 이중 한 그룹 (group I) 은 모든 P. ostreatus 균주들에서 공통적으로 발견되었다. Pleurotus 속의 5가지 다른 종(P. cornucopiae, P. florida, P. pulmonarius, P. sajor-cuja, P. spodoleucus) 의 균주들로부터 미토콘드리아 플라스미드들을 분리하였다. 이들은 한균주당 1-4 개 까지의 플라스미드를 가지며, 플라스미드의 크기는 7.2 kb-14kb 범위에 있었다. P. ostreatus 의 NFFA 2 의 10.2 kb(group I) 플라스미드와 hybridization 을 수행한 결과 P. cornucopiae ASI 2011을 제외한 다른 모든 균주들이 유사한 염기서열의 플라스미드를 갖고 있음을 알았다.

  • Pacific herring, Clupea pallasii, a keystone species with significant ecological and commercial importance, is declining globally throughout much of its range. While traditional fishing equipment methods remain limited, new sensitive and rapid detection methods should be developed to monitor fisheries resources. To monitor the presence and quantity of C. pallasii from environmental DNA (eDNA) extracted from seawater samples, a pair of primers and a TaqMan® probe specific to this fish based on mitochondrial cytochrome b (COB) sequences were designed for the real-time PCR (qPCR) assay. The combination of our molecular markers showed high specificity in the qPCR assay, which affirmed the success of presenting a positive signal only in the C. pallasii specimens. The markers also showed a high sensitivity for detecting C. pallasii genomic DNA in the range of 1 pg~100 ng rxn-1 and its DNA plasmid containing COB amplicon in the range of 1~100,000copies rxn-1, which produced linear standard calibration curves (r2=0.99). We performed a qPCR assay for environmental water samples obtained from 29 sampling stations in the southeastern coastal regions of South Korea using molecular markers. The assay successfully detected the C. pallasii eDNA from 14 stations (48.2%), with the highest mean concentration in Jinhae Bay with a value of 76.09±18.39 pg L-1 (246.20±58.58 copies L-1). Our preliminary application of molecular monitoring of C. pallasii will provide essential information for efficient ecological control and management of this valuable fisheries resource.
