Abstract:

In order to explore the role and expression patterns of members of the Calmodulin-like proteins gene family in castor, the family gene CML42 was extracted from castor, and its cloning and expression were analyzed. Zhebi No.3 plant was used as the material to clone and obtain the complete coding region sequence (CDS) of RcCML42, bioinformatics method was used to analyze RcCML42 gene sequence, included amino acid coding, protein molecular weight and isoelectric, transmembrane domain, amino acid sequence consistency and so on. Using qRT-PCR to analyze the changes of expression of castor RcCML42 gene in root, stem and leaf tissues at different time points.The results showed that RcCML42 CDS was 597 bp in length, encoded 198 amino acids, contained three EF-hand calcium-binding domains, the protein molecular weight was 22.27 ku, the isoelectric point was 4.55, and there was no transmembrane domain. Analysis of amino acid sequence identity showed that RcCML42 had the highest identity with Hevea brasiliensis, reaching 86.84%.The results of qRT-PCR analysis showed that the expression of RcCML42 in the roots after NaCl treatment showed a trend of first decreasing and then rising. The expression level of RcCML42 was highly expressed at 12 h in the stem and at 8 h in the leaf. And expression in stems was significantly higher than its expression in roots and leaves CML is one of the most important calcium receptors in plants. It regulates plant cells by binding with calmodulin binding protein. When plants are affected by NaCl in the environment, CML can participate in the regulation of calcium ions in the body, thus reducing the damage to plants caused by salt stress.In summary, RcCML42 plays an important role in the signal transduction of castor under salt stress.
