We assessed whether the cow1 mutant defects are associated with growth of Tos17 and T-DNA insertional rice in blue light (BL). Growth of oscow1 mutants which encoded a member of the YUCCA protein family was retarded in BL. Root to shoot ratios of the mutants were reduced about 2 times lower in the absence of NAA and about 2.5 times lower in the presence of NAA; the shoot growth was not significantly changed by NAA addition. Photosynthetic activity of the mutants was however inhibited in high light. Pigment analysis showed significant difference between wild-type (Chl a:b = 3.02) and mutants (3.84). Carotenoid contents of the mutants were also decreased considerably, implying the involvement of cow1 in pigment formation. These findings lead us to suggest that the growth retardation of oscow1 mutant plants by BL results from the difference of photosynthetic activity in part.

A puc-deleted cell of Rhodobacter sphaeroides grows with a doubling time longer than 160 h under light-limiting photoheterotrophic (3 Watts [W]/㎡) conditions due to an absence of the peripheral light-harvesting B800-850 complex. A spontaneous fast-growing mutant, R. sphaeroides SK101, was isolated from the puc-deleted cells cultured photoheterotrophically at 3 W/㎡. This mutant grew with an approximately 40-h doubling time. The growth of the mutant, however, was indistinguishable from its parental strain during photoheterotrophic growth at 10 W/㎡ as well as during aerobic growth. The membrane of SK101 grown aerobically did not reveal the presence of any spectral complex, while the amounts of the B875 complex and photosynthetic pigments of SK101 grown anaerobiclly in the dark with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) were the same as those of the parental cell. These results indicate that the oxygen control of the photosynthetic complex formation remained unaltered in the mutant. The B875 complex of SK101 under light-limiting conditions was elevated by 20％ to 30％ compared with that of the parental cell, which reflected the parallel increase of the bacteriochlorophyll and carotenoid contents of the mutant. When the puc was restored in SK101, the B875 complex level remained unchanged, but that of the B800-850 complex increased. The mutated phenotype of SK101 was complemented with orfQ encoding a putative bacteriochlorophyll-mobilizing protein. Accordingly, it is proposed that the mutated OrfQ of SK101 should have an altered affinity towards the assembly factor specific to the most peripheral light-harvesting complex, which could be either the B875 or the B800-850 complex.

광합성 전자전달저해제의 탐색을 위한 biorational biorational screening 방법으로 광합성 박테리아의 일종인 cyanobacteria의 표준형과 $D_1$단백질의 구성 아미노산이 변환된 변이주 Di-1, G-264, Di-22, TRY-5를 사용하여 기존 약제의 혼합효과와 몇가지 합성화합물의 Hill반응 저해활성을 측정 조사하였고, 또한 시금치로 부터 분리한 chloroplast와 cyanobacteria로 부터 분리한 thylakoid membrane에 대한 기존 제초제의 반응성을 조사하였다. 1. 광합성억제형 제초제에 대한 반응성 비교에서 cyanobacteria로 부터 분리한 thylakoid membrane이 시금치로 부터 분리한 chloroplast보다 약제에 대하여 민감한 반응을 나타내어 광합성 전자전달저해제의 탐색을 위한 재료로 보다 적합하였다. 2. Diuron에 대하여 wild type보다 Di-22와 D-5 변이주는 각각 약 2,000배와 800배의 저항성을 나타내었고 atrazine에 대하여는 G-264 변이주만이 약 1,000배의 저항성을 나타내었으며, 기타 네 약제에 대하여는 뚜렷한 저항성을 나타내는 변이주가 없었다. 3. D1 단백절의 264번 위치의 serine이 다른 아미노산으로 치환된 Di-1과 D-22 및 G-264 변이주에 대한 diuron과 atrazine의 혼합처리 효과를 검토한 결과 상호 경합적으로 작용하였으며 그 정도는 G-264 변이주에 대해서 가장 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 그러나 diurone과 atrazine의 혼합처리에 의한 thermoluminescence band의 변화는 인정할 수 없었다. 4. 변이주 Di-1과 D-22는 dinoseb에 대해서 저항성을 나타내지 않았으나. dinoseb과 diuron의 혼합처리시 diuron에 대한 저항성이 크게 약화되었다.

A puc -deleted cell of Rhodobacter sphaeroides grows with a doubling time longer than 160 h under the light-limiting photoheterotrophic ( 3 Watts [W]/㎡) conditions due to an absence of the peripheral light-harvesting B800-850 complex. A spontaneous fast-growing mutant, R.sphaeroides SK101 was ioslate dto have∼40-h doubling at 3 Watts/㎡, while the growth of the mutant was not distinguished from its parental strain during both aerobic and light-saturating photoheterotrphic (10W/㎡) growth. The B875 complex of SK101 under the light-limiting conditions was elevated by 20 to 30% compared with that of the puc -deleted cell, reflecting parallel increase of bacteriochlorophyll and carotenoid contents of the mutant. The formation of B875 complex of SK101 under the anaerobic dark conditions with dimethylsulfoxide was the same as that of the puc-deleted cell. suggesting that the mutation of SK101 result in the altered control of B875 complex formation by light. When puc is restored in SK101 , it is not B875 complex but B800-850 complex which formation is elevated. The mutation of SK101 affected the bchF transcription most drastically to show two to tenfold increase during both aerobic and photoheterotrophic growth. The mutated phenotype of SK101 was complemented with pW2, which contains approximately 100-kb HNA of the photosynthetic gene clusters. The complementing DNA was narrowed down to a 1.1-kb DNA containing orfQ and pufKBA . The mutation of SK101 appeared to be exerted through the mutation of the orfQ gene encoding a putative bacteriochlorophyll -mobilizing protein.

건강보조식품 등으로 이용되는 Arthrospira platensis는 세계적으로 대량생산되고 있으나 생산공정 중 수확단계에서 많은 비용이 소요된다. 본 연구에서는 부상을 이용한 효과적인 수확을 위해 균주의 개량을 시도하였으며, 개량균주의 생리적 물리적 특성을 파악하고자 하였다. Ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)를 모균주 A. platensis KCTC AG20590에 0.24%의 농도로 10, 20, 30분씩 처리하여, 형태 및 부상성이 우수한 균주 A. platensis M20CJK3 균주를 분리하였다. A. platensis M20CJK3은 느슨한 형태에서 촘촘한 형태로 세포사(trichome)의 길이 및 코일간 간격이 감소하였으며, 생장 및 $CO_2$ 고정능이 각각 15%, 17% 향상되었다. 또한, 개량균주의 부상성은 모균주에 비해 2배 이상 향상되었다. 이차원 전기영동 분석을 통해 모균주와 개량균주의 단백질 발현양상을 비교분석한 결과 광합성 관련 색소의 구조와 광전자전달계에 관련된 단백질의 발현 양상이 차이를 보였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 A. platensis M20CJK3은 고밀도 대량배양 및 수확에 유리하며, A. platensis 유전자 연구의 유용한 모델 균주로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

To study the biochemical and physiological role of the plastidic glucose transporter (pGlcT) in carbohydrate metabolism, we characterized transgenic plants with mutations in the pGlcT gene (GT), gt-1 and gt-2, as well double mutants of GT and the maltose transporter (MEX1) and GT and the triose phosphate/phosphate translocator (TPT), GT and the cytosolic fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase gene (cFBP), and MEX1 and TPT, gt-1/mex2, gt-1/tpt-2, gt-1/cfbp-1, mex1-1/tpt-2, respectively. Compared to the wild type, all mutants except the gt-1/cfbp-1 mutant lines displayed higher starch accumulation and higher levels of maltose. Starch accumulation is due to a decrease in starch turnover, leading to an imbalance between the rates of synthesis and degradation. Sucrose levels of gt alleles were higher than those in wild-type plants during the light period, suggesting possible nightly supplementation via the maltose transport pathway to maintain proper carbohydrate partitioning in the plant leaves. The gt plants displayed less growth retardation than mex1-1 mutant and gt-1/mex2 double mutant displayed accumulativesevere growth retardation as compared to individual gt-1 and mex1-1 mutants, implying that the maltose transporter-mediated pathway is a major route for carbohydrate partitioning at night. The gt-1/tpt-2, mex1-1/tpt-2 and gt-1/cfbp-1 double mutants had retarded growth and low chlorophyll content to differing degrees, indicating that photosynthetic capacity had diminished. Interestingly, the gt-1/tpt-2 line displayed a glucose-insensitive phenotype and higher germination rates than wild type, suggesting its involvement not only in carbon partitioning, but also in the sugar signaling network of the pGlcT and TPT.

Light is an environmental signal that regulates photomovement and main energy source of photosynthesis in the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (Syn6803). Syn6803 is a popular model system for study of plant functional genomics. In this report, we adopted 2D gel based proteomics study to investigate proteins related with the light absorption and photo-protection in Syn6803. More than 700 proteins were detected on the SDS-gels stained with silver nitrate. Several proteins showing different expression level under various light conditions were identified with MALDI-TOF Mass spectrometry. As a comparison, we also conducted ICAT-based proteome study using WT and cphl (cyanobacterial phytochrome 1) mutant. A cphl deletion led to changes in the expression of proteins involved in translation, photosynthesis including photosystem and CO2 fixation, and cellular regulation. We are currently involved in TAP-tagging method to study protein-protein interactions in search for the molecular component involved in the light signal transduction of Syn6803 photomovement.

Pure lines were isolated from young gametophytic blades of pigmentation and morphological mutants in Porphyra tenera. Growth, blade-shape and photosynthetic pigment content of pure lines were compared with the wild type. Growth of blade length in the wild type (W, R-B), with round shape and brown color, was fastest at $5{\sim}10^{\circ}C$ and became slower as temperature increased. The blade-shape of the wild type changed from linear to round as temperature increased. The green type (R-G), with round shape and green color, showed slower growth, and the red type (R-R) 'with round shape and red color' showed faster growth than the wild type. The blade-shapes of the green and red types changed from elliptical or linear to round as temperature increased. The phycoerythrin (PE) / phycocyanin (PC) ratio of the green type was markedly lower and the PE/PC ratio of the red type was markedly higher than that of the wild type. The linear type (L-B), with liner shape and brown color, showed faster growth in blade length than the wild type at $10{\sim}20^{\circ}C$ and maintained its linear shape at $5{\sim}15^{\circ}C$. The content of photosynthetic pigments of the linear type was similar to that of the wild type. Each of the pure lines of pigmentation and morphological mutants that were isolated in the present study showed particular patterns in growth, blade-shape and photosynthetic pigment composition. Therefore, they are expected to be useful as new varieties by themselves and to be available for breeding and biotechnological studies.
