Abstract

A cDNA clone encoding metallothionein-like protein (CitMT45), which was reported by Moriguchi et al. (1998), was isolated from Citrus fruits cDNA library through differential screening. Our cDNA clone has longer 5'untranslated region, compared to it isolated by Moriguchi et al. (1998). RNA blot analysis showed that the mRNA was abundant in fleshes than peels, leaves, and flowers, as a single transcript. However, regardless of tissue types, the blots showed the similar expression patterns in the process of development with some different profile. These results suggest that CitMT45 may play important roles in the development and/or senescence of various tissues of Citrus. A genomic clone corresponding to CitMT45 was isolated and found to have three exons and two introns. A primer extension analysis suggested that the transcription of CitMT45 gene was started at three start sites with different degrees. The 5'-flanking region was shown to contain a putative metal regulatory element (MRE) and low- temperature responsive element which suggests the possibility of metal-and cold-regulated transcription, respectively.

Differential screening을 통해 Moriguchi등 (1998)이 분리한 유전자와 상동성을 나타내는 CitMT45 유전자의 cDNA를 분리하였다. 본 실험에서 분리한 cDNA는 Moriguchi등 (1998)이 분리한 cDNA에 비해 긴 3' UTR을 가지고 있었다. 잎과 과피, 과육에서 CitMT45 유전자의 발현분석을 northern blot을 통해 수행한 결과, 발달단계에 따라 증가하는 비슷한 앙상을 관찰할 수 있었으나, 과육, 과피, 잎의 순으로 그 발현 양이 많았다. 이들의 발현조절에 대한 정보를 얻기 위해 게놈 DNA를 분리한 결과, CitMT45 게놈 구조는 3개의 exon과 2개의 intron으로 구성되어 있었고, primer extension 분석을 통해 CitMT45 유전자의 발현은 3개의 부위에서 개시되고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 전사개시부위의 5'upstream 지역에서 TATA box와 CCAAT box뿐만 아니라, 금속이온과 온도변화에 의한 조절에 중요한 부위로 알려진 cis-element를 발견하였다.
