摘要:

RNAi途径是RdDM途径的衍生途径,其中的AGO、DCL和RDR蛋白在植物的生长发育和响应非生物/生物胁迫过程中发挥重要作用。为了研究RNAi途径的3种主要蛋白在青狗尾草中的序列及结构特征,利用比较基因组学方法,在青狗尾草中鉴定到13个AGO基因、7个DCL基因和4个RDR基因,并对其蛋白质亚细胞定位、系统发育关系、保守结构域进行预测。同时,利用转录组数据分析RNAi途径的3类相关基因在青狗尾草的16种不同生长时期、不同生长条件下的表达模式。蛋白质结构域分析发现,SvDCL3b和SvRDR3缺少重要的结构域。转录组分析发现,SvAGO1bSvDCL1aSvRDR1在各家族中表达量较高,可能在RNAi途径中发挥主要作用,且大多数青狗尾草和谷子的同源基因间的表达模式基本一致。综上,本研究为理解RNAi途径的3种主要基因在调控青狗尾草的表观遗传修饰中的功能和作用提供初步的理论依据,为青狗尾草和谷子之间驯化的分子机制提供 参考。

Abstract:

RNAi pathway is a derived pathway of RdDM pathway, proteins AGOs, DCLs and RDRs of which play important roles in plant growth and development and in responses to abiotic/biotic stresses. In order to study the sequence and structural characteristics of these three main proteins of the RNAi pathway in Setaria viridis, we identified 13 AGO genes, seven DCL genes and four RDR genes in S. viridis by comparative genomics. Further we predicted the protein subcellular localization, phylogenetic relationship and conserved domain of these proteins. Meanwhile, the transcriptome data were used to analyze the expression patterns of three types of genes families in different organs in 16 different growth stages and different growth conditions of S. viridis. Protein conserved domain analysis revealed that SvDCL3b and SvRDR3 were lack of important domains. Transcriptome analysis showed that SvAGO1b, SvDCL1a and SvRDR1 were highly expressed in each family, which might play a major role in the RNAi pathway, and the expression patterns of homologous genes of S. viridis and S. italica were basically the same. In conclusion, this study provides a preliminary theoretical basis for understanding the functions and roles of the three main genes of the RNAi pathway in regulating the epigenetic modification of S. viridis, and provides a reference for the molecular mechanism of domestication between S. viridis and S. italica.
