摘要:

前期转录组学分析发现,ZmRAV1为玉米响应干旱胁迫的候选基因,为了深入研究该基因的功能,克隆了ZmRAV1基因,应用生物信息学分析了ZmRAV1的编码序列,并在拟南芥中过表达该基因,通过干旱条件下过表达拟南芥株系表型、生理生化指标的测定验证其功能。结果表明:ZmRAV1基因全长1 176 bp,共编码389个氨基酸,二级结构中无规则卷曲占比最多,是一种不含信号肽、非跨膜的亲水性蛋白。亚细胞定位显示,该基因编码蛋白位于细胞核。ZmRAV1基因在不同物种间具有较高的保守性。从系统发育树上看,ZmRAV1与五节芒同源基因亲缘关系最强,同源性较高。干旱胁迫处理后,萌发期过表达拟南芥株系的根长显著高于野生型(WT)拟南芥,幼苗期野生型经过干旱胁迫后出现枯萎甚至死亡,存活率低于过表达株系,且干旱处理后ZmRAV1过表达株系过氧化物酶、超氧化物歧化酶活性均高于野生型,表明过表达ZmRAV1基因可提高拟南芥对干旱胁迫的抗性。综上所述,通过ZmRAV1基因编码序列的生物信息学分析以及转基因拟南芥株系的生理生化指标测定明确了ZmRAV1在响应干旱胁迫的过程中发挥正向调控的作用。

Abstract:

Preliminary transcriptomic analysis identified ZmRAV1 as a candidate gene involved in maize's response to drought stress. To further investigate its function, this study cloned the ZmRAV1 gene, conducted bioinformatics analysis of its coding sequence, and overexpressed this gene in Arabidopsis thaliana. The function of ZmRAV1 was validated by assessing the phenotypes and physiological and biochemical indices of the transgenic Arabidopsis lines under drought conditions. The results showed that the ZmRAV1 gene had a total length of 1 176 bp and encoded 389 amino acids.It had the highest proportion of irregular coils in its secondary structure and was a hydrophilic protein that did not contain signal peptides and was non transmembrane.Subcellular localization indicated that the protein was located in the nucleus.ZmRAV1 exhibited high conservation across different species.Phylogenetic analysis indicated that ZmRAV1 shares the closest evolutionary relationship with its homolog in Miscanthus sinensis, showing a high degree of homology. After drought stress treatment,the root length of Arabidopsis thaliana lines overexpressing ZmRAV1 during germination was significantly higher than that of wild-type (WT)lines.In the seedling stage,WT showed withering or even death after drought stress,while the survival rate was lower than that of overexpressing lines.Moreover,the POD and SOD activities of ZmRAV1 overexpressing lines were higher than those of WT after drought treatment,indicating that overexpression of ZmRAV1 gene could enhance Arabidopsis thaliana's resistance to drought stress.
