초록

포르말린과 톨루엔 처리에 의한 애기장대의 표현형 변화 및 포르말린에 의한 단백질의 발현변화를 관찰하였다. 톨루엔의 휘발량이 포르말린보다 많음에도 불구하고 포르말린 처리구에서 애기장대의 표현형 변화가 더욱 현저한 것을 확인하였다. 포르말린에 의한 표현형의 변화가 미비한 6h 처리구에서도 애기장대 단백질의 발현에 많은 변화가 나타났으며 이러한 발현변화는 처리시간이 길어질수록 더욱 뚜렷하였다. 포르말린에 의하여 발현량이 변하는 단백질의 분자량을 automated gel electrophoresis system을 이용하여 예측한 후, 그 결과를 토대로 formaldehyde-responsive proteins을 분리하였다. 분리한 5개의 단백질은 전사수준에서 formaldehyde-dependent expression을 나타내었으며 formaldehyde-responsive proteins (FRP)으로 명명하였다. FRP5를 제외한 네 개의 단백질은 그 기능이 밝혀지지 않은 novel protein으로 식물의 방어기작에 관여하는 단백질과 높은 상동성을 나타내는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Plant can detoxify the effect of the volatile organic compounds (VOC) such as formaldehyde and toluene, however, mechanisms of VOC detoxification are largely unknown in plant system. This study was performed to investigate phenotypic changes of Arabidopsis seedlings upon treatment of either formalin or toluene. Formalin treatment up to twenty four hours didn't cause any significant phenotypic damages on the leaf surface of 27 DAG Arabidopsis seedlings. However, the protein profile of formalin-treated seedlings was significantly different from that of mock control. Using automated electrophoresis system, the molecular weight of each formaldehyde-responsive protein (FRP) was predicted and its formaldehyde-dependent expression was confirmed at transcription level by quantitative real-time RT-PCR analysis. Four FRPs isolated in this study are the novel proteins with unknown functions but highly homologous to the stress-related proteins.
