Abstract

To study the transcript levels of epigenetically regulated genes in tobacco, we have developed a transgenic line OX1 overexpressing NtROS2a gene encoding cytosine DNA demethylation and a RNAi plant line RNAi13. It has been reported that salt- and $H_2O_2$-stress tolerance of these transgenic lines are enhanced with various phenotypic characters (Lee et al. 2015). In this paper, we conducted microarray analysis with Agilent Tobacco 4 x 44K oligo chip by using overexpression line OX1, RNAi plant line RNAi 13, and wild type plant WT. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) related to metabolism, nutrient supply, and various stressed were up-regulated by approximately 1.5- to 80- fold. DEGs related to co-enzymes, metabolism, and methylation functional genes were down-regulated by approximately 0.03- to 0.7- fold. qRT-PCR analysis showed that the transcript levels of several candidate genes in OX1 and RNAi lines were significantly (p < 0.05) higher than those in WT, such as genes encoding KH domain-containing protein, MADS-box protein, and Zinc phosphodiesterase ELAC protein. On the other hand, several genes such as those encoding pentatricopeptide (PPR) repeat-containing protein, histone deacetylase HDAC3 protein, and protein kinase were decreased by approximately 0.4- to 1.0- fold. This study showed that NtROS2a gene encoding DNA glycosylase related to demethylation could regulate adaptive response of tobacco at transcriptional level.

담배에서 후성유전관련 유전자의 발현연구를 위해 담배유래 시토신 DNA 탈메틸화 관련 NtROS2a 유전자를 과발현 및 RNAi 식물체를 육성하였다. 이들 형질전환체들은 고염 및 산화 스트레스하에서 내성이 증진되었으며, 다양한 표현형변이를 보였다(Lee et al. 2015). 본연구에서는 선발된 과발현 (OX1), RNAi 식물체(RNAi 13) 및 대조식물체(WT)를 이용하여 Agilent Tobacco 4 X 44K Oligo chip으로 microarray분석을 수행하였다. OX1과 RNAi13 계통을 이용하여 WT과 함께 비교 분석한 결과, 대부분 세포 내 이온 수송, 영양 공급 등과 같은 물질대사와 생물적 비생물적 스트레스 및 methylation과 관련되어 영향을 주는 유전자들에서 up-regulation 되었고, 물질대사관련 유전자와 세포 내 기능유전자의 역할을 담당하는 조효소, 그리고 다양한 스트레스 및 메틸레이션 관련 유전자군에서 또한 down-regulation되었다. 각각의 up-, down-regulation된 유전자들을 WT과 비교하여 qRT-PCR을 수행한 결과, KH domain-containing protein, MADS-box protein 및 Zinc phosphodiesterase ELAC protein 유전자들에서 발현이 높게 나타났으며, 반면에 pentatricopeptide (PPR) repeat-containing protein, histone deacetylase HDAC3 protein 및 protein kinase는 0.4 ~ 1.0-fold 발현양이 감소되었다. 따라서 DNA glycosylase를 암호화하는 NtROS2a 유전자는 demethylation과 관련되어 담배 식물체에서 다양한 전사레벨을 조절하는 것으로 판단된다.
