摘要:

目的 查尔酮异构酶(CHI)是类黄酮生物合成途径中的关键限速酶。对杜仲CHI基因家族成员进行全基因组鉴定,系统分析其表达特征,以探究其在杜仲生长发育及逆境响应中的生物学功能。 方法 基于杜仲基因组数据,采用生物信息学方法系统鉴定CHI基因家族成员,并全面分析其理化性质、染色体定位、启动子顺式作用元件、进化关系、保守基序和基因结构等特征。同时,结合转录组数据和RT-qPCR技术,探究EuCHIs在不同组织及非生物胁迫处理下的表达模式。 结果 在杜仲基因组中共鉴定出7个EuCHI基因家族成员(EuCHI-1-EuCHI-7),其编码蛋白的氨基酸长度为84-388 aa,分子量为9 473.24-43 248.30 Da,等电点范围为4.81-9.42,不稳定指数范围为23.09-46.43,亲疏水性范围为-0.381-0.206,不均匀地分布在5条染色体上。亚细胞定位预测显示,除EuCHI-2定位于细胞核中;其余成员均定位于叶绿体中,此外,EuCHI-1在细胞膜中也有分布,EuCHI-4在细胞质和线粒体中也有分布。系统进化分析将EuCHIs划分为Group Ⅰ、Group Ⅱ和Group Ⅵ 3个亚家族,各成员含有1-10个外显子。启动子分析表明,EuCHIs可能参与生长发育和激素响应等生物学过程,转录组数据表明大部分EuCHIs基因参与杜仲叶色形成以及花发育等多种生物学过程。RT-qPCR结果显示,EuCHIs具有组织表达特异性,除EuCHI-3外,其余均在根部高量表达;与ABA和GA3胁迫处理相比,干旱胁迫处理更能显著诱导EuCHI基因的表达。 结论 鉴定出7个EuCHIs基因,分为3个亚家族,EuCHIs在杜仲不同组织和不同胁迫中表达模式存在差异,表明它们在杜仲生长发育和非生物胁迫中发挥重要作用。

Abstract:

Objective Chalcone isomerase (CHI) is a key rate-limiting enzyme in the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway. The aim of this study is to conduct a genome-wide identification of the CHI gene family members in Eucommia ulmoides, systematically analyze their expression characteristics, and explore their biological functions in the growth, development, and stress response of E. ulmoides. Method Based on the genome data of E. ulmoides, bioinformatics methods were used to systematically identify the members of the CHI gene family, and comprehensively analyze their physicochemical properties, chromosomal localization, cis-acting elements in promoters, evolutionary relationships, conserved motifs, and gene structures. Meanwhile, transcriptome data and RT-qPCR technology were combined to investigate the expression patterns of EuCHIs in different tissues and under abiotic stress treatments. Result A total of 7 EuCHI gene family members (EuCHI-1 to EuCHI-7) were identified in the genome of E. ulmoides. The amino acid lengths of their encoded proteins ranged from 84 to 388 aa, the molecular weights ranged from 9 473.24 to 43 248.30 Da, the isoelectric points ranged from 4.81 to 9.42, the instability indices ranged from 23.09 to 46.43, and the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity values ranged from -0.381 to 0.206. They were unevenly distributed on 5 chromosomes. Subcellular localization prediction showed that except for EuCHI-2, which was localized in the nucleus; the other members were all localized in the chloroplast, additionally, EuCHI-1 was also distributed in the cell membrane, EuCHI-4 was also distributed in both the cytoplasm and mitochondria. In the phylogenetic analysis, EuCHIs were classified into three subfamilies: Group Ⅰ, Group Ⅱ, and Group Ⅵ, and each member contained 1 to 10 exons. Promoter analysis indicated that EuCHIs might be involved in biological processes such as growth, development, and hormone response. Transcriptome data showed that most EuCHIs genes were involved in various biological processes of E. ulmoides, such as leaf color formation and floral development. The RT-qPCR results showed that EuCHIs had tissue expression specificity. Except for EuCHI-3, the other genes were highly expressed in the roots. Compared with the treatments of ABA and GA3 stress, the drought stress treatment could more significantly induce the expression of EuCHI genes. Conclusion Seven EuCHIs genes are identified and divided into three subfamilies. The expression patterns of EuCHIs differ among different tissues and under different stress conditions in E. ulmoides, indicating that they play important roles in the growth, development, and abiotic stress responses of E. ulmoides.
