摘要: 旨在揭示钙依赖蛋白激酶CPK14在花粉管极性生长中的生物学功能。利用基因芯片数据绘制花粉高量表达CPK的表达图谱。去除CPK14位于C端的自抑制区及Ca2+结合区,保留完整的激酶区及N端可变区,构建组成激活型(CA)的CPK14(CA-CPK14)。利用基因枪技术在烟草花粉中进行瞬时表达,比较分析全长CPK14、CA-CPK14及GFP对照之间的花粉管表型差异。通过CA-CPK14与GFP-RIC4ΔC(活性ROP1的标记物)共同表达试验,分析CA-CPK14对ROP1活性的影响。结果显示,CPK家族中存在8个花粉高量表达成员(其中包括CPK14),它们在花粉中高量表达而在其他组织中表达较少。CPK14过量表达可以造成花粉管顶端的膨大,而持续激活且不受Ca2+调控的CA-CPK14则抑制花粉管萌发及生长。ROP1是花粉管生长的调控关键因子,CA-CPK14的表达可以抑制活性ROP1的标记物(GFP-RIC4ΔC)在花粉管顶端的积累与分布,说明CPK14在ROP1所介导的花粉管生长调控机制中发挥一定的作用。

Abstract: The purpose of the study is to reveal the biological function of CPK14(calcium-dependent protein kinase 14)in pollen tube polar growth. Based on the available microarray database,the expression heat-map of pollen-specific CPK was depicted. The constitutively active CPK14(CA-CPK14)was constructed by removing the auto-inhibitor and Ca2+ binding domain at the C-terminal and retaining the complete kinase and N-terminal variable regions. The resulting construct(full-length CPK14,CA-CPK14 or GFP alone)was transiently expressed in tobacco pollen tubes via particle bombardment,and the overexpression phenotypes of transformed tubes were compared and analyzed. The effect of CA-CPK14 on the activity of ROP1 was analyzed by co-expression experiment of CA-CPK14 and GFP-RIC4ΔC(a marker of active ROP1). The results showed that eight pollen-specific CPKs(including CPK14)were identified,and they were highly expressed in mature pollen grains and less expressed in other tissues. CPK14 overexpression caused a swelling tip of pollen tubes,while CA-CPK14(continuous activation and lack of Ca2+ regulation)inhibited the germination and growth of pollen tube. ROP1 was a key regulator of pollen tube growth. The expression of CA-CPK14 inhibited the accumulation and distribution of active ROP1 maker(GFP-RIC4ΔC)at the top of pollen tube. These results suggest that CPK14 may play a role in the ROP1-mediated regulation mechanism of pollen tube growth.
