摘要: 旨在揭示拟南芥CBL9(Calcineurin B-like protein 9)在花粉管顶端生长中的作用。基于花粉管瞬时表达体系,通过基因枪技术将带有黄色荧光蛋白(YFP)标签的CBL9在烟草花粉中进行瞬时表达,观察其亚细胞定位及过表达表型。针对CBL9的N端酰基化的保守位点,通过点突变技术构建CBL9G2A突变体,对比研究其表型及定位的改变情况。结果显示CBL9-YFP定位于花粉管顶端质膜及颗粒状细胞器上,CBL9过量表达可以引起显著的花粉管去极化生长。而CBL9G2A-YFP则表现出非特异性的胞内弥散定位,同时CBL9G2A过量表达没有显著影响花粉管的顶端生长。CBL9的N端酰基化位点是CBL9质膜定位的重要因素,而正确定位的CBL9才能发挥调控花粉管生长的相关功能。

Abstract: This work is aimed to understand the role of Arabidopsis thaliana CBL9(calcineurin B-like protein 9)in the growth of pollen tube tip. Based on the transient expression system,the CBL9 with YFP-tag were transiently expressed in tobacco pollen grains by gene gun,and the overexpression phenotypes and subcellular localization patterns of CBL9-YFP were observed. At the conservative sites for N-terminal acylation of CBL9,a mutant version of CBL9,CBL9G2A was constructed via overlap-PCR-mediated site mutagenesis,and the changes in their phenotypes and localization were compared and studied. The results demonstrated that CBL9-YFP was localized to plasma membrane(PM)of growing pollen tubes and granular organelles. CBL9 overexpression induced a severe loss of growth polarity,leading to a short tube with the swelling tip. CBL9G2A was evenly distributed in cytosol of pollen tubes,and its overexpression did not cause the depolarization growth of pollen tubes. These results suggested that N-terminal acylation site of CBL9 is an important factor in correct targeting to PM,which is required for its function in polarized growth of pollen tubes.
