아밀로즈는 ${\alpha}-1,4$ 결합으로 이루어진 포도당의 중합체로 곡류에서의 식품학적 기능성을 결정하는 가중 중요한 전분의 구성성분으로, 이의 함량은 단일 우성유전인자인 Wx 유전인자에 의하여 결정된다고 알려지고 있다. 지금까지 Wx 단백질이라고 알려지는 전분 합성 효소(starch-bound starch synthase)는 아밀로즈의 생합성에 관련된 효소로 아밀로즈의 함량을 조절하는 단백질로 알려져 왔다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 아밀로즈의 생합성 기작 연구의 한단계로 Wx 단백질인 아밀로즈 합성 효소를 동정하고 분리하였다. 아밀로즈의 함량이 매우 다양한 변이품종들로부터 전분 결합 단백질을 추출하고 이를 전기영동 분석을 통하여 비교분석하였다. 그 결과 전분과 결합하여 존재하는 66 kDa의 단백질이 전분 중 아밀로즈의 함량과 매우 높은 연관관계를 전기영동상에서 보여주고 있어, 이를 Wx 단백질로 동정하였다. 아울러 이 단백질을 전분으로부터 분리하고, gel filtration 과정을 통하여 순수 분리하는 정제 방법을 확립하였다.

In the field of rice research, insertional mutants have become a valuable resource for studies of gene function. However, a well-designed database yet in the area of rice functional genomics. The relevant data are widely distributed and independently managed by the individual research groups. Heterogeneous data format in the distributed database systems causes many problems related to redundancy and compatibility. In this research, integration of the distributed databases using agent technology is pursued. In particular, a data integration agent, an ontology agent, a comparison agent, and resource agents are designed, whereby the integrated database is maintained. Moreover a framework for the web-based information system, which provides information to biologists and permits biologists to add new data to the database, is proposed. To establish an interoperable data format, an XML-based data model is also developed adopting ontology concept.

Salt stress is a major environmental factor influencing plant growth and development. To identify salt tolerance determinants, we systematically screened salt sensitive rice mutants by use of the Activator/Dissociation (Ac/Ds) transposon tagging system. In this study, we focused on the salt sensitive mutant line, designated SSM-1. A gene encoding a NAC transcription factor homologue was disrupted by the insertion of a Ds transposon into SSM-1 line. The OsNAC075 gene (EU541472) has 7 exons and encodes a protein (486-aa) containing the NAC domain in its N-terminal region. Sequence comparison showed that the OsNAC075 protein had a strikingly conserved region at the N-terminus, which is considered as the characteristic of the NAC protein family. OsNAC075 protein was orthologous to Arabidopsis thaliana ANAC075. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed OsNAC075 belonged to the OsNAC3 subfamily, which plays an important role in response to stress stimuli. RT-PCR analysis showed that the expression of OsNAC075 gene was rapidly and strongly induced by stresses such as NaCl, ABA and low temperature ($4^{\circ}C$). Our data suggest that OsNAC075 holds promising utility in improving salt tolerance in rice.

The rice blast disease caused by of Magnaporthe oryzae is one of the most destructive diseases of rice. By the microarray analysis, we profiled expression changes of genes during conidiation and found out many putative genes that are up-regulated. Among those, we first selected MGG_06399 encoding a dual-specificity tyrosine-regulated protein kinase (DYRK), homologous to YAK1 in yeast. To investigate functional roles of MoYAK1, We made ${\Delta}Moyak1$ mutants by homology dependent gene replacement. The deletion mutant showed a remarkable reduction in conidiation and produced abnormally shaped conidia smaller than those of wild type. The conidia form ${\Delta}Moyak1$ were able to develop a germ tube, but failed to form apppressoria on a hydrophobic coverslip. The ${\Delta}Moyak1$ formed appressria on a hydrophobic cover slip when exogenous cAMP was induced, but the appressoria shape was abnormal. The ${\Delta}Moyak1$ also formed appressoria abberent in shape on onion epidermis and rice sheaths and failed to penetrate the surface of the plants. These data indicate that MoYAK1 is associated with cAMP/PKA pathway and important for conidiation, appressorial formation and pathogenic development in Magnaporthe oryzae. Detailed characterization of MoYAK1 will be presented.

The pre-replication complex (pre-RC), including the core hexameric MCM2-7 complex, ensures that the eukaryotic genome is replicated only once per cell division cycle. In this study, we identified a rice $\underline{m}ini\underline{c}hromosome$ $\underline{m}aintenance$ (MCM) homologue (OsMCM2) that functionally complemented fission yeast MCM2 (CDC19) mutants. We found OsMCM2 transcript expression in roots, leaves, and seeds, although expression levels differed slightly among the organs. Likewise, the OsMCM2 protein was ubiquitously expressed, but it was downregulated when nutritients were limiting, indicating that MCM2 expression (and therefore cell cycle progression) requires adequate nutrition. Yeast two-hybrid and GST pull-down assays demonstrated that OsMCM2 interacted with the COP9 signalosome 5 (CSN5). Taken as a whole, our results indicated that OsMCM2 functions as a subunit of the rice MCM complex and interacts with CSN5 during developmental regulation.

아밀로오스함량, 당함량, 전분입자의 형태 등에 차이를 보이는 8품종 변이체 벼들의 쌀빵가공성에 대한 제분방법(습식 및 건식)의 차이에 대해서 검토하였다. 이들 8품종의 최대수분흡수량은 품종에 따라 상당히 차이가 있어 shr.은 61.5%, 분질미는 48.4%였고, 화청벼 남풍벼 및 그들의 변이체들은 아밀로오스 함량이 낮은 품종의 쌀일수록 최대 수분흡수량은 증가하고 있었다. 건식제분에 의해서 제조한 쌀빵이 성형성, 기계적인 물성(경도, 탄력성, 응집성. 씹힘성) 및 관능검사에 의한 질감의 면에서 습식제분의 경우보다 우수하였다.

Genomes contain a large number of unique genes which have not been found in other species. Although the origin of such "orphan" genes remains unclear, they are thought to be involved in species-specific adaptive processes. Here, we analyzed seven orphan genes (MoSPC1 to MoSPC7) prioritized based on in planta expressed sequence tag data in the rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe oryzae. Expression analysis using qRT-PCR confirmed the expression of four genes (MoSPC1, MoSPC2, MoSPC3 and MoSPC7) during plant infection. However, individual deletion mutants of these four genes did not differ from the wild-type strain for all phenotypes examined, including pathogenicity. The length, GC contents, codon adaptation index and expression during mycelial growth of the four genes suggest that these genes formed during the evolutionary history of M. oryzae. Synteny analyses using closely related fungal species corroborated the notion that these genes evolved de novo in the M. oryzae genome. In this report, we discuss our inability to detect phenotypic changes in the four deletion mutants. Based on these results, the four orphan genes may be products of de novo gene birth processes, and their adaptive potential is in the course of being tested for retention or extinction through natural selection.
