摘要:

【目的】验证SmERF B3-45是否在植物响应盐胁迫中起着正向调控的作用,为揭示AP2/ERF转录因子在调控旱柳耐盐性中的作用奠定基础。【方法】分析旱柳AP2/ERF超家族中SmERF B3-45的启动子区顺式作用元件,利用特异性引物克隆得到SmERF B3-45的CDS全长序列,对其进行生物信息学和亚细胞定位分析,并通过过表达载体的构建转化拟南芥突变体ERF-OE1、ERF-OE2和进行病毒诱导的基因沉默(VIGS)阐明其功能。【结果】顺式作用元件分析表明,SmERF B3-45可能参与逆境胁迫响应表达调控途径。RT-qPCR结果显示,NaCl处理可诱导SmERF B3-45的表达,且该基因在旱柳的不同组织中广泛表达。亚细胞定位显示,SmERF B3-45蛋白定位于细胞核。转基因拟南芥中,SmERF B3-45的表达量大幅提高,在盐胁迫条件下,与野生型相比,过表达SmERF B3-45拟南芥的根长显著增加,总蛋白含量、Na+含量、MDA含量和Na+/K+显著降低,CAT含量和K+含量显著升高。基因沉默植株显著下调了SmERF B3-45的表达水平,与对照相比,基因沉默植株的总蛋白含量显著降低,而MDA和脯氨酸含量却显著高于阴性对照植株,并且沉默植株出现了叶片萎蔫,表明SmERF B3-45的沉默降低了旱柳的耐盐性。【结论】SmERF B3-45是植物响应盐胁迫的正向调控转录因子。

Abstract:

【Objective】To validate whether SmERF B3-45 plays a positive regulatory role in plant response to salt stress may lay the foundation for revealing the role of AP2/ERF transcription factors in regulating the salt tolerance of Salix matsudana.【Method】The cis-acting elements in the promoter region of SmERF B3-45 from the AP2/ERF superfamily of Populus euphratica were analyzed. The full-length CDS sequence of SmERF B3-45 was cloned using specific primers, and bioinformatics and subcellular localization analysis were conducted. The function was elucidated by constructing overexpression vectors and transforming Arabidopsis thaliana mutants ERF-OE1 and ERF-OE2, and by using virus-induced gene silencing(VIGS).【Result】Cis-acting element analysis suggested that SmERF B3-45 may be involved in the expression regulation pathways responding to stress. RT-qPCR results showed that the expression of SmERF B3-45 was induced by NaCl treatment and was widely expressed in different tissues of Populus euphratica. Subcellular localization indicated that the SmERF B3-45 protein was localized in the nucleus. In transgenic Arabidopsis, the expression of SmERF B3-45 significantly increased. Under salt stress, compared with the wild type, the root length of overexpressing SmERF B3-45 Arabidopsis significantly increased, while the total protein content, Na+ content, MDA content, and Na+/K+ ratio significantly decreased, and the CAT content and K+ content significantly increased. Gene-silenced plants showed a significant downregulation of SmERF B3-45 expressions. Compared with the control, the total protein content of the gene-silenced plants significantly reduced, while MDA and proline content were significantly higher than that of the negative control plants. Additionally, the silenced plants demonstrated wilting leaves, indicating that the silencing of SmERF B3-45 reduced the tolerance of Salix matsudana to salt. 【Conclusion】SmERF B3-45 is confirmed as a positive regulatory transcription factor in the plant response to salt stress.
