Pisidium (Neopisidium) coreanum의 metallothionein 유전자는 염기서열 315개로 이루어져있으며 105개의 아미노산으로 이루어져 있었다. 연체동물의 metallothionein 서열의 공식[C-x-C-x(3)-C-T-G-x(3)-C-x-C-x(3)-C-x-C-K] 에 맞춰본 결과 알려진 공식과 상당히 일치하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며 아미노산의 조성도 시스테인 (Cys) 이 약 1/3 정도 함유하는 사실을 확인 할 수 있었다. BLAST 결과를 토대로 선정 되어진 80개의 참고 서열 중 아미노산 레벨에서 가장 높은 스코어로 align 되는 서열들은 담수패인 Dreissena polymorpha (zebra mussel), Unio tumidus (swollen river mussel) and Crassostrea ariakensis (suminoe oyster) 등으로 나타났다. ClustalX 를 통해 multiple align 한 후 Neighbor-Joining 방법에 따라 phylodendrogram을 그려본 결과 Pisidium (Neopisidium)coreanum의 MT는 Dreissena polymorpha (Dp), Crassostrea gigas (Cg4), Crassostrea virginica (Cv7) 등의 생물들과 같은 군으로 묶이는 것을 관찰 할 수 있었다. Psipred 소프트웨어를 통해 2D 구조를 비교 분석 한 결과도 multiple align 및 phylodendrogram 결과와 밀접한 관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과를 통해 EST를 통해 밝혀진 Pisidium (Neopisidium) coreanum의 MT 서열은 근연종 들의 서열과 일치함을 알 수 있었으며 이러한 결과에 기인하여 MT 서열은 분류에 사용 될 수 있다고 사료된다.
Pisidium (Neopisidium) coreanum is a freshwater snail and lives in spring water near mountain areas. Interestingly, this snail has traditionally regarded as medicinal food, and thus has been used as folk remedies for healing broken bones. Recently, alpha classification on Pisidium (Neopisidium) coreanum through re-description has been conducted. However, not much attention has so far been made in beta classification. In this study, we performed the beta classification based on metallothionein (MT) genes found from various organisms. To this end, the complete cDNA sequences were obtained from the Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) sequencing project of Pisidium (Neopisidium) coreanum. The coding region (315 bp) gives an amino acid sequence of 105 residues. The combined results from BLAST analyses, multiple sequence alignment and molecular phylogenetic study of Pc-MT gene indicate that Pisidium (Neopisidium) coreanum has similarity to freshwater bivalve such as Dreissena polymorpha (zebra mussel), Unio tumidus (swollen river mussel) and Crassostrea ariakensis (suminoe oyster).
