Abstract:

To explore the role of Osp39 gene in the regulation of rice chloroplast protein import, the sequence of Osp39 gene and upstream elements in its promoter were searched and analyzed by using bioinformatics assay,and the homology,properties and structure of the OsP39 protein were also carried out.The tissue expression of Osp39 gene and subcellular localization of OsP39 protein were analyzed by quantitative PCR and transient expression in protoplasts,respectively.The results showed that the Osp39 gene was located on chromosome 5 of rice.There were 11 exons in the coding region of Osp39 gene,and its transcription product had no alternative splicing mode,so there was only one type of transcription product.The Osp39 promoter contained a variety of light-responsive and chloroplast regulatory elements such as I box and ATCT-motif.Transcriptional analysis of Osp39 gene also showed that the transcription level of Osp39 gene in green tissues such as leaf and leaf sheath was significantly than that in non-green tissue such as root and flower during seeding and flowering stages.OsP39 protein was stable and heat-resistant,which molecular weight was about 38.7 ku and theoretical isoelectric point was pH 8.64.There were a total of 361 amino acid residues in OsP39 protein,of which the content of glycine was the highest.The 245-271 amino acid residues formed a highly conserved L6 loop region,which belonged to the characteristic domain of the OMP85 protein family.Spatial structural analysis revealed that OsP39 was a β-barrel membrane protein rich in β-sheets.Subcellular localization analysis showed that OsP39 protein was localized at the rice chloroplast membrane.The above results indicated that Osp39 gene was a chloroplast membrane related gene,which was involved in the regulation of light response and chloroplast function in rice.
