摘要:

DREB转录因子属于AP2/ERF超家族的一个分支,在植物生长发育以及胁迫应答中发挥至关重要的调控作用。而在我国优良的暖季型草坪草结缕草中关于DREB家族基因的系统分析目前还未见报道。本研究从结缕草全基因组中共鉴定到64个ZjDREB基因,编码的氨基酸为105~984 aa,分子量为11.42~107.04 kDa,理论等电点为4.09~11.95。系统发育分析显示ZjDREB基因分为A1~A6共6组。蛋白序列的保守基序分析表明motif 1、motif 2和motif 3在所有ZjDREB蛋白序列中的分布相对保守,且其中的61个ZjDREB基因在结缕草14条染色体上呈不均匀分布。对ZjDREB基因的共线性分析中共鉴定到3个片段重复基因对,且基因对的非同义替代与同义替代的比值(Ka/Ks)均小于1,表明其在基因扩张中受纯化选择。顺式作用元件分析显示ZjDREB A1和A2组基因启动子区域含有多个与植物激素和非生物胁迫相关的作用元件。利用qRT-PCR对A1和A2组基因在低温、脱落酸、干旱和盐胁迫下的表达模式进行分析,结果显示A1组基因在低温和脱落酸胁迫处理后上调表达,其中ZjDREB3上调幅度最大;A2组基因在干旱和高盐胁迫后表现出不同的表达模式,其中ZjDREB4的上调幅度最大。本研究结果为进一步探究结缕草ZjDREB基因的功能奠定了基础,也为结缕草的遗传改良提供了新的线索。

Abstract:

DREB transcription factors belong to the AP2/ERF superfamily, and play important roles in plant development and stress responses. However, a systematic analysis of DREB genes in Zoysia japonica, which is a warm-season turfgrass native to China has not been reported. In this study, we identified 64 ZjDREBs from Z. japonica, encoding polypeptides of 105 to 984 amino acids, with molecular weights ranging from 11.42 to 107.04 kDa and theoretical isoelectric points ranging from 4.09 to 11.95. The phylogenetic analysis of 64 ZjDREBs showed that they were divided into six groups from A1 to A6. A conserved motif analysis of ZjDREB protein sequences revealed that motif1, motif2, and motif3 were relatively highly conserved. Sixty-one ZjDREBs were unevenly distributed on 14 chromosomes of Z. japonica. By colinearity analysis, we identified three pairs of segmentally duplicated ZjDREB genes. The non-synonymous∶synonymous (Ka/Ks) was <1, indicating that this gene family might have been subject to purifying selection during its expansion. Analyses of the promoter regions of ZjDREBs in the A1 and A2 groups revealed multiple cis-acting elements related to plant hormones and abiotic stresses. The expression profiles of ZjDREB genes in the A1 and A2 groups under cold, abscisic acid (ABA), drought, and salt stress were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The A1 group genes were up-regulated by cold and ABA treatments, and ZjDREB3 was significantly up-regulated. The A2 group genes showed different expression profiles under drought and salt stress, and ZjDREB4 was significantly up-regulated. Together, these results lay a foundation for further exploration of the functions of ZjDREB genes and provide avenues for the genetic improvement of Z. japonica.
