摘要： OFP是一类植物特有的转录因子,在调控植物器官形态建成和响应非生物胁迫等过程发挥重要作用。为了研究大豆OFP转录因子家族成员特征及其在干旱胁迫和盐胁迫中的作用,运用生物信息学方法对大豆OFP家族成员进行鉴定和分析。结果表明:在大豆中共鉴定到41个GmOFP基因,命名为GmOFP-1~GmOFP-41;这些基因不均匀地分布在大豆19条染色体上,编码152~414个氨基酸;亚细胞定位预测大豆OFP蛋白主要定位在细胞核、叶绿体、线粒体中;在大豆OFP蛋白中共鉴定到10个保守基序,其中保守基序1和2存在于所有OFP成员中;系统发育分析将大豆和拟南芥OFP蛋白分为5个亚家族Class Ⅰ~Class Ⅴ,其中大豆OFP家族基因主要分布在Class Ⅰ和Class Ⅲ中;共线性分析发现,大豆基因组OFP成员中有75对基因存在共线性关系,4对基因存在串联重复,仅有2个基因GmOFP-2和GmOFP-39没有共线性关系,表明基因片段复制是导致大豆OFP家族成员增多的主要原因。通过qRT-PCR方法分析了GmOFP基因家族成员在干旱胁迫和盐胁迫处理下的表达模式,结果表明:与对照相比,41个GmOFP基因中有16个GmOFP成员在干旱处理后基因表达水平表现出显著差异,其中GmOFP-15、GmOFP-17、GmOFP-32显著上调表达,GmOFP-4、GmOFP-5、GmOFP-6、GmOFP-9、GmOFP-12、GmOFP-21、GmOFP-23、GmOFP-25、GmOFP-26、GmOFP-27、GmOFP-38、GmOFP-39、GmOFP-40显著下调表达;有8个GmOFP成员在盐处理后基因表达水平表现出显著差异,其中GmOFP-7、GmOFP-14、GmOFP-31、GmOFP-32、GmOFP-36、GmOFP-40显著上调表达,GmOFP-1、GmOFP-15显著下调表达。综上所述,大豆OFP基因家族在应对干旱胁迫和盐胁迫中可能具有重要功能。

Abstract:

OFP is a class of plant-specific transcription factors that play important roles in the regulation of plant organ morphogenesis and response to abiotic stresses.In order to study the characterization of soybean OFP transcription factor family members and their roles in drought stress and salt stress,bioinformatics methods were applied to identify and analyze soybean OFP family members.The results showed that:a total of 41 GmOFPs,named GmOFP-1—GmOFP-41,were identified in soybean;these genes were unevenly distributed on 19 chromosomes of soybean,encoding 152—414 amino acids;subcellular localization predicted that soybean OFP proteins were mainly localized in nucleus,chloroplasts,and mitochondria;a total of 10 conserved motifs were identified in soybean OFP proteins,conservative Motifs 1 and 2 were present in all OFP members.Phylogenetic analysis classified soybean and Arabidopsis OFP proteins into five subfamilies ClassⅠ—Class V,of which soybean OFP family genes were mainly distributed in ClassⅠ and Class Ⅲ.The collinearity analysis revealed that 75 pairs of genes in the soybean genome had collinearity,four pairs of genes had tandem duplications,and only two genes,GmOFP-2 and GmOFP-39,did not have collinearity,which indicated that gene fragment duplication was the main reason for the increase in the number of soybean OFP family members.The expression patterns of GmOFP gene family members under drought stress and salt stress treatments were analyzed by qRT-PCR,and the results showed that,compared with the control,16 members out of 41 GmOFP genes exhibited significant differences in gene expression levels after drought treatments,with significant up-regulation of the expression of GmOFP-15,GmOFP-17,and GmOFP-32,while the GmOFP-4,GmOFP-5,GmOFP-6,GmOFP-9,GmOFP-12,GmOFP-21,GmOFP-23,GmOFP-25,GmOFP-26,GmOFP-27,GmOFP-38,GmOFP-39,and GmOFP-40 were significantly down-regulated after drought treatment.Eight members of GmOFPs showed significant differences in gene expression levels after salt treatment,among which GmOFP-7,GmOFP-14,GmOFP-31,GmOFP-32,GmOFP-36,and GmOFP-40 were significantly up-regulated,and GmOFP-1 and GmOFP-15 were significantly down-regulated.The above results suggest that the soybean OFP gene family may have important functions in response to drought stress and salt stress.
