摘要: 叶绿素是光合作用必需的重要色素,其合成需要Mg原卟啉Ⅸ甲基转移酶等一系列酶的催化。我们通过筛选拟南芥EMS(乙基磺酸甲酯,ethylmethane sulphonate)突变体库,分离到一个黄化突变体。该突变体叶绿素含量显著减少,叶绿体内垛叠的基粒缺失。遗传学分析表明,该突变体的黄化表型是由单基因控制的隐性性状。利用图位克隆的方法最终将基因定位在第IV条染色体分子标记F13M23和T30C3之间114 kb的区间内,其中包含编码Mg原卟啉Ⅸ甲基转移酶的CHLM基因。通过测序及等位分析表明该突变体是chlm的等位突变体,命名为chlm4。在chlm4中,CHLM蛋白的Gly59突变成Glu59,说明Gly59对于Mg原卟啉Ⅸ甲基转移酶功能的行使是必需的。

Abstract: Chlorophylls are essential for photosynthesis. Chlorophyll biosynthesis is catalyzed by a series of enzyme complexes, such as Mgprotoporphyrin IX methyltransferase. A yellow mutant of Arabidopsis was isolated using an enthylmethane sulfonate (EMS) mutagenesis strategy. Chlorophyll content dramatically reduced and grana stacking was absent in the mutant. Genetic analysis indicated that the mutant was controlled by a single recessive gene. Using mapbased cloning strategy, the gene responsible for the mutant phenotype was mapped to a region of 114 kb between the molecular markers F13M23 and T30C3 on chromosome 4, in which the CHLM gene encoding Mgprotoporphyrin IX methyltransferase was included. The mutant was proved to be an allelic mutant of CHLM gene by sequencing and allelism test and then was designated as chlm4. Gly59 of CHLM was replaced by Glu59 in chlm4, which indicated that Gly59 was essential for the function of Mgprotoporphyrin IX methyltransferase.
