Abstract

To investigate the function of chloroplast small heat shock protein (HSP), transgenic tobacco plants (Nicotiana tabacum L, cv. SR-1) that constitutively overexpress the rice chloroplast small HSP (Oshsp26) were generated. Effects of constitutive expression of the Oshsp26 on thermotolerance were investigated with the chlorophyll fluorescence. After 5-min incubation of leaf discs at high temperatures, an increase in the Fo level, indication of separation of LHCII from PSII, was mitigated by constitutive expression of the chloroplast small HSP When tobacco plantlets grown in Petri dishes were incubated at $20^{\circ}C$/TEX> for 45 min and subsequently incubated at $20^{\circ}C$/TEX> leaf color of wild-type plant became gradually white and all plantlets were finally died. Under the conditions in which all the wild-type plants died, more than 80% of the transformants remained green and survived. It was also found that the levels of Oshsp26 protein accumulated in transgenic plants were correlated with the degree of thermotolerance. These results suggest that the chloroplast small HSP plays an important role in protecting photosynthetic machinery, as a results, increases thermotolerance of whole plant during heat stress.

엽록체 small HSP의 기능을 조사하기 위하여 벼로부터 분리한 엽록체 small HSP를 구성적으로 발현하는 형질전환 식물체를 제작하였다. 먼저 고온 스트레스 조건하에서의 형질전환 식물체의 내열성을 chlorophyll 형광으로 측정하여 분석하였다. Leaf disc를 고온 스트레스 조건에서 5분간 처리한 후, 광화학계 II의 불활성화를 나타내는 Fo 값과 증가치를 조사하였다. 형질전환 식물체는 고온 스트레스 하에서의 Fo 값의 증가가 현저하게 감소하였다. 또한 무균적으로 Petri dish에서 재배한 유식물체를 치사온도인 $52^{\circ}C$에서 45분간 처리한 후, $20^{\circ}C$ 에서 계속적으로 배양하였을 때, wild-type 식물체는 전부 고사하였으나, 형질전환 식물체의 약 80%는 정상적으로 생존하였다. 또한 과발현된 Oshsp26 단백질의 축적량이 많을수록 내열성의 정도도 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 엽록체 small HSP가 고온 스트레스 하에서 광합성기구를 보호함으로서 식물체의 내열성을 증가시키는데 있어서 중요한 기능을 담당하고 있음을 나타낸다.
