초록

mRNA의 핵에서 세포질로의 이동(mRNA export)에 관여하는 것으로 여겨지는 분열효모 Schizosaccharomyces pombe의 rsm1 유전자의 역할을 알아보기 위해 $kan^{r}$ 유전자를 이용하여 결실돌연변이주(deletion mutant)를 제조하였다. rsm1 유전자는 생장에 필수 유전자는 아니지만, rsm1 결실돌연변이주는 야생형에 비해 생장이 조금 늦고 mRNA export도 약간의 결함을 보였다. rsm1 유전자와 mRNA export의 중요 유전자와의 연관관계를 알아보기 위해, 이중돌연변이주(double mutants)를 제작하여 생장결함 정도와 mRNA export 결함 정도를 조사하였다. 조사한 유전자들 중에서 mex67 또는 npp106 돌연변이 유전자는 rsm1 결실돌연변이 유전자와 함께 존재하면 생장과mRNA export가 더욱 악화되었다. 반면, thp1 돌연변이 유전자는 rsm1 결실돌연변이 유전자와 함께 존재하면 오히려 생장과 mRNA export 정도를 야생형과 유사한 정도로 호전시켰다. 이와 같은 결과들은 rsm1 유전자가 mRNA의 핵에서 세포질로의 이동에 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있음을 시사한다.

We constructed the null mutants of fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe rsml gene that is thought to be involved in mRNA export. Though rsm1 gene is not essential for growth, the null mutant strain constructed by replacing the rsm1-coding region with an $kan^{r}$ gene showed growth retardation and mRNA export defects compared to wild type strain. We constructed double mutants which harbor rsm1 null allele and mutant allele of genes involved in mRNA export. The mex67 or npp106 null allele, when combined with rsm1 null allele, showed an additive effect on growth retardation and mRNA export defects. On the other hand, the thp1 null allele restored the defects of growth and mRNA export of rsm1 null mutant. These results suggest that rsm1 plays a role in mRNA export from the nucleus.
