Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to characterize the mechanisms of DNA damage response, DNA repair, and mutagenesis in plant kingdom, Physcomitrella patens, an evolutionary ancestor species of modern terrestrial plants, was used as a model organism. We first irradiated it with γ-rays to quantify the formation of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). In comparison with yeast and human cells, we found that the number of DSBs induced are smaller in P. patens, and that P. patens is hyper-tolerant to the presence of DSBs. We next identified two P. patens homologues of SUPRESSOR OF GAMMA 1(SOG1), a NAC-type transcription factor involved in DNA damage response in Arabidopsis. We further generated a double knock-out mutant (sog1a sog1b) line of P. patens using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Transcriptome analysis of γ-irradiated double mutant cells showed that absence of both SOG1a and SOG1b significantly reduced the expression of a series of DNA repair genes.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

植物は動物よりも放射線に強いと言われていたが、同一の条件で比較できるデータはほとんど存在しなかった。今回、コケ植物由来のプロトプラスを用いて単一細胞における感受性を解析した結果、コケ細胞が哺乳動物細胞に比べて極めて放射線に強いことを実際に示すことができた。
SOG1は植物界のみに存在するNAC型転写因子のひとつであり、哺乳動物のp53と同様に放射線応答で中心的な役割を持つことがわかっている。今回、ヒメツリガネゴケのSOG1ホモログが放射線応答に関与することが明らかになり、植物独自の応答機構が陸上植物の誕生よりも早い段階で獲得された可能性が示唆された。
