검정곰팡이의 분화(分化)에 따르는 균체내(菌體內)의 고인산(高燐酸)뉴크레오티드의 소장(消長)에 관한 연구(硏究)

Studies on the Highly-phosphorylated Nucleotides during the Differentiation of Aspergillus niger

경정곰팡이(Aspergillus niger)의 포자형성(胞子形成)을 액침배양법(液浸培養法)과 동조적방법(同調的方法)으로 여행(旅行)하면서 인산화합물(燐酸化合物), 고인산화(高燐酸化)뉴크레오티드, 및 RNA(핵산)(核酸)의 동태(動態)를 연구(硏究)하였다. 결과(結果)는 다음과 같이 요약(要約)된다. 1. 곰팡이의 포자형성시(胞子形成時)에 유기인산화합물(有機燐酸化合物)의 양(量)이 증가(增加)하였으며, 무기(無機) Polyphosphate의 양(量)은 반대(反對)로 감소(減少)하였다. 2. 무기인산양(無機燐酸量)은 변동(變動)하지 않았으며, 총인산화합물(總燐酸化合物)의 양(量)은 초기균사생장시(初期菌絲生長時)에는 감소(減少)하고 포자낭병시기(胞子囊柄時期)부터는 변동(變動)하지 않았다. 3. RNA핵산구획(核酸區劃)에 있어서 orcinol 반응양성구(反應陽性區)의 흡광도(吸光度)가 급격(急激)히 증가(增加)하였다. 그러나 UV흡광도(吸光度)는 완만하게 증가(增加)하였다. 4. 포자낭병(胞子囊柄)및 포자형성시기(胞子形成時期)에 guanosinetetraphosphate가 검출현(檢出現) 되었다. 5. 고분자양성(高分子量性) RNA (rRNA분획(分劃))의 polyacrylamide gel 전기영동(電氣泳動)을 2.6% gel로서 시행(施行)한 바 polyphosphate와 RNA의 결합물(結合物)이 상당양(相當量) 존재(存在)함을 알았다. 이상(以上)의 결과(結果)로 보아 검정곰팡이의 분화과정(分化過程)에 있어서 고인산화(高燐酸化) RNA 화합물(化合物)의 존재(存在)가 확인(確認)되었으며, 이 화합물(化合物) 가운데 guanosine tetraphosphate (G4P)의 존재(存在)가 진핵미생물(眞核微生物)인 곰팡이에서도 검출(檢出)되었음을 지적(指摘)한다.

Highly phosphorylated nucleotides were investigated to assure whether the eucaryotic Aspergillus niger produce these substances or not during the differentiation. Investigation was extended to see how organic phosphate interacts with inorganic polyphosphate during development, and high molecular weight RNA-polyphosphate complex was detected in 2.6% polyacrylamide gel by electrophoresis. Guanosine tetraphosphate was found in vesicle and phialide forming mycelia and spore forming body by PEI cellulose TLC. It is revealed that guanosine tetraphosphate is a common substance for spore formation in eucaryotic microorganisms as well as in procaryotic. Especially, prior to sporulation, protein bound RNA and protein bound phosphate may occur as a result of reorganization of cellular materials. The evidence was obtained by the fact of differential increase of optical density ratio between the samples from different developmental stages of this fungus. In 2.6% polyacrylamide gel which was run to electrophoresis, high molecular weight RNA (mostly rRNA) was found to couple and to make RNA-polyphosphate complex. The complex was examined with enzymes and radioactive isotope of $^{32}P$. (enzymic test was not reported here.) RNA-polyphosphate complex might be another sort of highly phosphorylated nucleotide or rRNA beside guanosine-tetraphosphate.
