Abstract:

To investigate the function of ATP-binding cassette transporter subfamily G11(ABCG11)in xerophytic economic shrub Lycium barbarum ssp. Bianguo,using the Lycium barbarum ssp. Bianguo as the material. The cDNA sequence of Lycium barbarum ssp. Bianguo LbABCG11 gene was obtained by RT-PCR and RACE method, the sequence patterns were analyzed by bioinformatics software. Quantitative Real-time PCR(qRT-PCR)was used to analyze the expression patterns of LbABCG11 in different organs of Lycium barbarum ssp. bianguo under salt treatment,osmotic stress and abscisic acid(ABA)treatments.The results showed that LbABCG11 gene contained 2 971 bp in full length and a 2 130 bp open reading frame,encoding 710 amino acids.The protein contained six transmembrane regions, the calculated molecular weight, isoelectric point, adipose index, instability index and average hydropathicity was 79.39 ku,8.42, 89.63, 35.52, 0.070, the encoded protein chemical formula was C3590H5577N935O1027S35. LbABCG11 is a stable alkaline hydrophobic protein.The protein contained a nucleotide-binding domain(NBD)and a transmembrane domain(TMD),which were arranged in the form of NBD-TMD.LbABCG11 was a white-brown complex (WBC)half-size molecular transporter.The secondary structure of the protein was mainly composed of α-helix and random coil, accounting for 45.21% and 33.66%, respectively, which was consistent with the predicted results of the tertiary structure. Phylogenetic analysis showed that LbABCG11 had closer genetic relationship with ABCG11 from Solanum lycopersicum and Capsicum barbarum, but has low homology with ABCG11 from Arabidopsis thaliana and Chenopodium quinoa. LbABCG11 gene was expressed in some organs of Lycium barbarum ssp. bianguo,including leaves,stems and roots.The LbABCG11 expression level was induced by NaCl,osmotic stress and ABA,manifesting that LbABCG11 was involved in the stress response of xerophytes.
