项目摘要

Environmental pollution by sulfur-containing compounds is a serious problem for the global environment. In particular, gaseous SO_2, which is emitted mainly by both natural sources and human activities, I. E. combustion of fossil fuels, industrial refining of sulfur-containing ores, influences human health and the global ecological system of animals and plants. Phytoremediation, which uses plants to remove pollutants from the environment, has received wide attention. Cysteine synthase [ο-acetyl-L-serine(thiol)-lyase, EC 4.2.99.8] (Csase) is responsible for the final step in biosynthesis of cysteine. Transgenic tobacco(Nicotiana tabacum) (F_1)plants with enhanced Csase activities both in the cytosol and in the chloroplasts were generated by cross-fertilization of two transformants expressing either cytosolic Csase or chloroplastic Csase. The F_1 transgenic plants were highly tolerant to toxic sulfur dioxide and sulfite. Upon fumigation with 0. lμLL^<-1> sulfur dioxide, both the cysteine and glutathione contents in leaves of F_1 plants were increased significantly, but not in leaves of non-transformed control plants. Furthermore, the leaves of F_1 plants exhibited the increased resistance to paraquat, a herbicide generating active oxygen species. The transgenic Arabidopsis plants over expressing serine acetyltransferase, a key regulatory enzyme of sulfur assimilation, were also generated to examine the resistance to a heavy metal, Cd etc.

含硫化合物的环境污染是全球环境的一个严重问题，特别是气态SO_2，它主要由自然来源和人类活动排放，即化石燃料的燃烧、含硫矿石的工业精炼，影响人类。利用植物去除环境中的污染物的植物修复已受到广泛关注。 [ο-乙酰基-L-丝氨酸（硫醇）-裂解酶，EC 4.2.99.8] (Csase) 负责转基因烟草 (Nicotiana tabacum) (F_1) 植物中 Csase 活性的最后一步。胞质中和叶绿体中的Csase是通过表达胞质Csase或叶绿体的两个转化体的异体受精产生的Csase. F_1转基因植物对有毒的二氧化硫和亚硫酸盐具有高度耐受性。用0. lμLL^<-1>二氧化硫熏蒸后，F_1植物叶片中的半胱氨酸和谷胱甘肽含量均显着增加，但不显着增加。此外，F_1 植物的叶子对百草枯（一种产生活性氧的除草剂）表现出增强的抗性。还培育了过度表达丝氨酸乙酰转移酶（硫同化的关键调节酶）的拟南芥植物，以检查对重金属、镉等的抗性。
