Abstract

Two major sex pheromone components (Z-8-dodecenyl acetate and E-8-dodecenyl acetate) are known in the peach fruit moth, Grapholita molesta. From a putative biosynthetic pathway of these sex pheromone components, delta 10 desaturase ($10{\Delta}$ DES) has been proposed to play a crucial role in synthesizing a species-specific stereoisomer of the double bond. However, its molecular identity was not known. This study determined a putative desaturase (Gm-comp1575) as a $10{\Delta}$ DES candidate from G. molesta transcriptome constructed from the sex pheromone gland. Its open reading frame encodes 370 amino acid sequence with a predicted molecular weight at 43.2 kDa and isoelectric point at 8.77. It was predicted to have four transmembrane domains and six glycosylation sites at N-terminal or cytosolic domains. A phylogenetic analysis with its predicted amino acid sequence indicated that Gm-comp1575 is closely related with known $10{\Delta}$ DES genes of other insects. Gm-comp1575 transcript was detected in female adults at sex pheromone gland and other abdominal tissues. RNA interference of Gm-comp1575 significantly reduced attractiveness of virgin females in apple orchard compared to control females. These results suggest that Gm-comp1575 is associated with sex pheromone biosynthesis of G. molesta.

복숭아순나방(Grapholita molesta)은 두 가지 주요 성페로몬 성분(Z-8-dodecenyl acetate and E-8-dodecenyl acetate)을 갖고 있다. 이 성페로몬 성분의 생합성 과정 분석은 포화지방산의 10번 탄소에 이중결합을 합성하는 불포화효소($10{\Delta}$ DES)가 종 특이적 광학이성체 형성에 필수적이라고 제시하였다. 그러나 이 효소의 분자적 특징에 대해서 분석되지 않았다. 본 연구는 복숭아순나방 성페로몬 샘의 전사체에서 $10{\Delta}$ DES로 추정된 불포화효소(Gm-comp1575)의 단백질 기능 영역을 분석하였다. Gm-comp1575 유전자는 370개의 아미노산 서열 정보를 암호하고 있으며 분자량은 약 43.2 kDa 그리고 등전위점(pI)은 8.77로 추정되었다. 이 불포화효소는 4개의 막투과영역을 지니고 있으며, 6개의 탄수화물 결합 위치가 아미노 말단과 세포내 영역에서 갖는 것으로 추정되었다. 분자계통분석은 Gm-comp1575가 다른 종에서 알려진 $10{\Delta}$ DES와 유사성이 높은 것으로 밝혀졌다. Gm-comp1575 전사체는 암컷 성페로몬 샘 및 다른 복부 조직에서 발현되었다. 이 유전자 발현에 대한 RNA 간섭 처리는 처녀 암컷으로 하여금 사과원에서 수컷을 유인하는 능력을 크게 감소시켰다. 이러한 결과는 Gm-comp1575가 복숭아순나방의 성페로몬 생합성과 관련이 있는 유전자라고 제시하고 있다.
