Abstract

Objective:Using insertional mutagenesis in Chlamydomonas to identify genes required for flagellar assembly, so as to researching the function of the gene related to flagellar assembly. Methods:By transforming the DNA fragment harboring paromomycinresistance gene into Chlamydomonas randomly, the mutant strainwith flagellar defect is obtained and identified the disrupted gene was CrPP2C(Chlamydomonas reinhardtii type 2C protein phosphatase).Then the CrPP2C gene function is analyzed by biochemistry methods. Results:Theflagella abnormal mutantsthat show short flagella or none flagella are obtained by electroporation transformation.DNA sequence analysis show that the CrPP2C gene is disrupted. Transformation of mutants with CrPP2C-HA could rescue the flagellar phenotype.The mutants could regenerateflagella to the original length and shorte normally. Electron microscopyimages show incomplete Y-link structure in the transition zone of flagella. Conclusion:The CrPP2C gene is associated with the transition zone structure and affects the assembly of flagella.
