Abstract

During the life cycle, plants have to suffer from various environmental stresses. A common element in response to many environmental stresses is cellular dehydration. Dehydrins are a family of proteins commonly induced by environmental stresses associated with low temperature or dehydration and during seed maturation drying. For the study in the defense mechanism against various stresses, a cDNA clone encoding a dehydrin gene was isolated from a cDNA library prepared from tab root mRNAs of Codonopsis lanceolata. The cDNA, designated ClDhn1, is 893 nucleotides long and has an open reading frame of 480 bp with a deduced amino acid sequence of 159 residues. The ClDhn1 amino acid sequence is highly hydrophilic and possesses two conserved repeats of characterized lysine­rich K­segment (KIKEKLPG), and a 7­serine residue stretch prior to the first lysine­rich repeat that is common to many dehydrins. The DEYGNP conserved motif is, however, modified in the sequence of ClDhn1 gene. The deduced amino acid sequence of ClDhn1 was compared with other plant dehydrinls and showed high homology with Solanum commersonii

더덕 뿌리에서 유래한 EST 라이브러리로부터 dehydrin 유전자와 높은 상동성 을 나타내는 full clone cDNA를 얻었다. 더덕의 dehydrin, ClDhn1은 893 bp의 cDNA로 159개의 아미노산을 코딩하는 480 bp의 ORF를 가지고 있다. ClDhn1의 아미노산을 분석해 보면, 전체적으로 높은 친수성을 나타내며, lysine이 풍부한 K 반복구간(KIKEKLPG)을 카르보닐기 쪽에 2개 가지고 있다. 또한, 여러 dehydrin들의 공통적인 특징인 7개의 연속적인 serine잔기가 첫 번째 K반복 구간 앞에 위치한다. 그러나, 아미노기쪽의 DEYGNP보존 구간은 변형(DEHGNP)되어 있다. ClDhn1 유전자는 전사 단계에서 더덕의 뿌리에서 가장 높은 발현 양상을 보이며, 줄기와 잎에서는 적은 양이 발현되었다.
