| Research Abstract |
By using luminous bacterium and bioluminescent Escherichia coli hovering the gene encoding bacterial luciferase, the oxidative stress induced dynamic bioluminescence (BL) pattern on the colony, as a model of the mass of mitochondria (MT), was analyzed. On the other hand, the visualization of reactive oxygen species (ROS) at the MT site in a eukaryotic cell and the oxidative stress has been carried out. In this case, a MT signal sequence fused gene encoding yellow fluorescent protein (Y1-Yellow), originating from a luminous bacterium, was cloned into a plasmid to transform yeast cells.
Analysis of the dynamic BL patterns showed that the oxidative stress response can be visualized as a collective behavior-like regulated bioluminescence. As a result of the transformation of yeast with the MT-Y1-Yellow coding gene, the ROS formation at the MT site was clearly visualized. It has also been shown that MT assembles to make the MT cluster in response to the strong oxidative stress.
