摘要
模式植物研究发现蔗糖非发酵-1-型相关蛋白激酶-1在植物碳氮代谢过程中有关键性开关的作用,为探讨SnRK1(蔗糖非发酵-1-型相关蛋白激酶-1)在果树碳氮代谢中的分子生物学功能,以水培平邑甜茶幼苗为试材,克隆蔗糖非发酵-1-型相关蛋白激酶-1的α和βγ亚基的编码基因,同时采用实时荧光定量PCR研究α和βγ亚基的编码基因表达量的变化,并构建α亚基的编码基因MhSnRK1的正、反以表达载体,成功转化番茄,初步研究了其生理生化功能,主要结果如下:
     1.根据已知苹果SnRK1的α亚基编码基因的EST序列,设计特异引物利用RT-PCR结合RACE技术获得了蔗糖非发酵-1-型相关蛋白激酶-1的α亚基的全长编码基因,命名为MhSnRK1,GenBank注册号为EF690362;并利用相同技术扩增到平邑甜茶SnRK1的βγ亚基编码基因的片段,命名为MhAKINβγ。序列分析表明,MhSnRK1基因全长2063 bp,包含一个166 bp的5′端非编码区,1548 bp的编码区共编码515个氨基酸和348 bp的3′端非编码区,预测分子量为58.7 KD。同时MhSnRK1的氨基酸序列分析显示该基因与拟南芥、黄瓜、番茄和烟草相比有82%-88%的同源性;系统进化树分析显示,MhSnRK1基因与黄瓜α亚基编码基因(SnRK1)基因的同源关系最近。βγ亚基的片段(MhAKINβγ)与已知蔗糖非发酵-1-型相关蛋白激酶-1 AKINβγ亚基编码基因具有较高同源性,故进一步确定其为平邑甜茶蔗糖非发酵-1-型相关蛋白激酶-1的AKINβγ亚基编码基因片段。
     2.荧光定量PCR分析α和βγ亚基的编码基因在不同组织的表达发现,MhSnRK1和MhAKINβγ基因在平邑甜茶的根、茎、叶中均有表达,且均在叶中的表达量最大。本文对这两个亚基的编码基因在不同环境条件下在不同组织中的表达特性的研究结果显示:硝态氮处理抑制了MhSnRK1基因在叶、根中的表达;在PEG处理下,MhSnRK1的表达水平在根中先上升(24小时),但48小时后又恢复到初始状态;叶片中,MhSnRK1的表达初期下降而48小时后又上升到初始态;在硝态氮和PEG处理下,MhAKINβγ表现出与MhSnRK1相似的表达特性。外施硝态氮,根中MhAKINβγ转录水平24小时内降低3倍,48小时后叶中也较低;在PEG处理下,MhAKINβγ的表达水平在根中先上升;叶片中,MhAKINβγ的表达初期下降10倍而48小时后又上升到初始态。
     3.为进一步研究平邑甜茶SnRK1的生理生化功能,将蔗糖非发酵-1-型相关蛋白激酶-1的α亚基的全长编码基因,构建了pBI121- MhSnRK1正、反义表达载体,并对番茄进行农杆菌侵染的遗传转化。对转基因番茄果实内含物进行测定后初步发现:与对照相比,正义转基因番茄果实中可溶性总糖和淀粉含量最大升高分别30%和56%;而正义转基因番茄果实中有机酸和可溶性蛋白含量最大分别下降88%和76%。转基因植株果实发育期比野生型提早10天;果实直径在发育早期明显大于野生型。本研究测定了转基因株系和野生型叶片中淀粉含量的日变化,白天结束时,转基因株系叶片淀粉含量明显高于野生型,与野生型相比,T2-5株系中淀粉含量升高105%。转反义基因的植株与野生型相比,无论在果实内含物、果实发育期或叶片淀粉含量都没有明显变化。
SnRK1 complex plays a key role in carbon and nitrogen metabolisms of modle plants. Under water culture condition, we have cloned two subunits of SnRK1 complex from pingyitiancha seedlings. The aim of this study was to obtain a better insight into the character of the SnRK1 complex subunits encoding genes in respond to environmental signals and in carbon metabolisms in fruit trees. The expression patterns of MhSnRK1 and MhAKINβγin different tissues at different conditions were analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR. The MhSnRK1 gene derived from pingyitiancha was heterologously expressed in tomato plants to study the biological function of the SnRK1.
     1. In an attempt to isolate MhSnRK1 gene, two EST sequences were used to design GSPs for 5′-RACE and 3′-RACE isolation of MhSnRK1; one EST sequence was 433-bp (CN445648) and the other was 466-bp (CX024405). Analysis revealed a 2063 bp sequence obtained by RACE was the full-length cDNA of the MhSnRK1 (Malus hupehensis Rehd. SnRK1, EF690362) gene. The nucleotide sequence of MhSnRK1 contains a 166-bp 5'-untranslated region, a 1548-bp open reading frame encoding a protein of 515 amino acids with a mass of 58.7 kDa, and a 348-bp 3'-untranslated region. The deduced amino acid sequence of MhSnRK1 showed 82.34, 87.57, 86.02, 84.08 and 82.14% identity to the Arabidopsis AKIN10, tomato LeSNF1, potato StSNF1, tobacco NPK5 and Pea, but it exhibited only 66.67 and 66.22% identity to the Barley BKIN12 and Rye RKIN1. The phylogenetic tree showed MhSnRK1 belongs to the type 1 (SnRK1) subfamily of the snf1-related kinases (exemplified by Arabidopsis AKIN10) rather than the SnRK2 subfamily (exemplified by Arabidopsis ASK1) or the SnRK3 subfamily (exemplified by Wheat WPK4). We also produce a partialβγ-subunit (MhAKINβγ) with 3′-RACE. After a 100-fold dilution of the first PCR product, the product was used for a second PCR with the primer of SN32, from which a 3′-RACE 1112-bp fragment was obtained. Analysis of this fragment showed its nucleotide sequence was highly conserved with those in other plant species (including fragments of apple, maize and Medicago truncatula) Therefore, this fragment was considered a pingyitiancha AKINβγhomologue and was designated as MhAKINβγ.
     2. Expression of MhSnRK1 and MhAKINβγgenes was studied in leaves, stems and roots of two-week-old pingyitiancha seedlings by quantitative real-time PCR analysis using subunit-specific probes. An r18S gene was used as an internal standard. The results revealed that transcripts of MhSnRK1 and MhAKINβγwere detected in all tissues analysed, but the two genes expression differed among root, stem and leaf tissues. Higher levels of MhSnRK1 transcripts were expressed in leaf tissue relative to the root and stem. Similar expression patterns were observed from MhAKINβγ, with the highest transcriptional level also occurring in leaf tissue. To understand the short-term effects of nitrogen and osmotic stress on expression of MhSnRK1 or MhAKINβγ, transcriptional levels in different plant tissues were monitored by quantitative real-time PCR analysis during induction by NO3- and PEG water stress. Control plants treated with KCL or grown in normal nutrients exhibited nearly consistent levels of MhSnRK1 or MhAKINβγfrom 0 to 48 h. The NO_3~- does not affect MhSnRK1 expression as early in leaf, yet it inhibits MhSnRK1 expression after 48 h. Meanwhile, NO3- feeding reduces MhSnRK1 expression 5-fold in root within 24 h, but the transcript levels raise to control levels after 48 h. Under PEG water stress, MhSnRK1 mRNA levels increased in roots within 24 h but then declined to the levels of control after 48h. In leaves, MhSnRK1 expression decreased as early, and then increased after 48 h. Interestingly, MhAKINβγexhibits a similar expression pattern as MhSnRK1 during the NO_3~- and PEG treatment. When KNO_3 was resupplied, pMhAKINβγtranscripts decrease 3-fold in root within 24 h, and low in leaf after 48 h compared with the control. A 13-fold induction of pMhAKINβγexpression was detected after PEG treatment for 24 h in root, and then the transcript levels declined to the levels of control after 48h. MhAKINβγtranscripts in leaf decreased 10-fold within 24h compared with the control .
     3. In order to determine the function of MhSnRK1 in growth and development of plants cell, a construct containing full-length cDNA of MhSnRK1 gene in sense and atisense orientation driven by the constitutivecauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter was assembled and introduced into tomato. The quality of the transgenic tomato fruits was also analysis. Compared with the wild-type, the soluble sugar and starch levels of the transgenic plant fruit were increased by approximately 20%-30% and 44%-56%, respectively. Organic acid and total soluble protein were 44%-88% and 55%-76% of the control concentrations, respectively. The results indicate MhSnRK1 has obvious effects on the quality of the tomato. Our research also showed that the fruit diameter of the transgenic plants was much thicker at the early stages of fruit development than the wild type, but were similar at later stages; the transgenic fruit ripened ten days earlier than wild type fruit.The starch content of the leaf from transformants was assayed. we found that the starch content in transgenic lines was higher than wide type in leaf at the end of the day, for example, the starch content in T2-5 transgenic line was increased by 105% compared with that in the wide-type.
