The unicellular green alga is a model organism for various studies in biology. CC-124 is a laboratory strain widely used as a wild type. However, this strain is known to carry mutation, which causes cells to swim away from the light source (negative phototaxis), in contrast to the cells of other wild-type strains, which swim toward the light source (positive phototaxis). Here we identified the causative gene of () using AFLP-based gene mapping and whole genome next-generation sequencing. This gene encodes a 36-kDa protein containing a Fibronectin type III domain and a CHORD-Sgt1 (CS) domain. The gene product is localized to the cell body and not to flagella or basal body.
单细胞绿藻是生物学各种研究中的模式生物。CC-124是一种广泛用作野生型的实验室菌株。然而,已知该菌株携带突变,与其他向光源游动(正趋光性)的野生型菌株细胞相反,该突变导致细胞游离光源(负趋光性)。在这里,我们使用基于AFLP的基因定位和全基因组下一代测序鉴定了()的致病基因。该基因编码一种含有纤连蛋白III型结构域和CHORD-Sgt1(CS)结构域的36 kDa蛋白质。该基因产物定位于细胞体,而非鞭毛或基体。
