摘要  

叶绿体对植物光合作用和生长是必要的。许多基因被鉴定参与调控植物叶绿体发育。然而,在分子水平上这些基因如何调控叶绿体生物合成是未知的。在本研究中,我们分离了一个色素缺乏的突变体ygl2YGL2编码一个牻牛儿基牻牛儿基还原酶。YGL2的第三外显子有一个碱基突变(T1361G),导致编码产物发生错义突变(L454R)。透射电镜显示,突变体ygl2的叶绿体发育受损。在突变体ygl2中,质体编码基因的表达水平发生显著变化。此外,通过酵母双杂交分析我们发现YGL2与RNA编辑因子MORF8互作




Abstract  Chloroplasts are essential for plant photosynthesis and growth. Many genes have been identified that regulate plant chloroplast development. However, it is not known at a molecular level how these genes regulate chloroplast biogenesis. In this study, we isolated a mutant ygl2 (yellow-green leaf2) that exhibited a pigment-defective phenotype. YGL2 encodes a geranylgeranyl reductase, and in mutant ygl2, there was a single base change (T1361G) located in the third exon of YGL2 that resulted in a missense mutation (L454R) in the encoded product. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that chloroplast development was impaired in the ygl2 mutant. The expression levels of plastid-encoded genes were significantly altered in the ygl2 mutant. Furthermore, in a yeast two-hybrid assay, we found that YGL2 interacted with the RNA editing factor MORF8.
