Abstract
Mycosporine-like 아미노산(MAAs)은 UV 흡수물질이며, 다양한 해양생물들은 MAAs의 합성과 축적을 통하여 환경 자외선의 직 간접적인 영향을 감소시키는 기능을 진화시켜 왔다. 이 연구에서 우리는 radiofrequency(RF) 발생장치를 제작하였고, 이를 미세조류 배양에 적용하였다. 0.35±0.05 mHz의 RF를 Chlamydomonas sp. 배양기에 공급하였고, 정해진 시간(0, 0.5, 1 및 2 시간)에 시료를 채취하였다. MAAs 생합성 관련 유전자인 dehydroquinate synthase homolog (DHQS-like)와 nonribosomal peptide synthetase homolog (NRPS-like) 유전자를 Chlamydomonas sp.로부터 클로닝하였고, RF 노출에 대한 유전자 발현을 qRT-PCR을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과 RF에 노출된 Chlamydomonas sp.의 DHQS-like와 NRPS-like 유전자의 발현은 노출 1시간에 각각 1.46 배 및 1.19 배 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 DHQS-like와 NRPS-like 유전자가 Chlaydomonas sp.의 MAAs 생합성을 진단할 수 있는 좋은 바이오마커 후보가 될 수 있음을 의미한다.

Mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs) are UV-absorbing substances, and diverse marine organisms have the evolved the capacity to diminished the direct and indirect damaging effects of environmental ultraviolet radiation by synthesis and accumulation of MAAs. In this study, we manufactured a radiofrequency (RF) generation device and applied to microalgal culture. 0.35±0.05 mHz of RF was supplied to culture vessel for Chlamydomonas sp. and samples were harvested at the designated time intervals (1, 0.5, 1 and 2 hr). MAAs biosynthetic genes, dehydroquinate synthase homolog (DHQS-like) and nonribosomal peptide synthetase homolog (NRPS-like), were cloned from Chlamydomonas sp. and their gene expressions under the RF exposure were analyzed using qRT-PCR. DHQS-like and NRPS-like gene expressions of Chlamydomonas sp. exposed to RF were increased 1.46 and 1.19 fold at 1 hr, respectively. These results means that DHQS-like and NRPS-like genes can be good biomarker candidates for diagnosis of MAAs biosynthesis in the Chlamydomonas sp.
