Abstract:

Low cadmium(LCD)gene is involved in grain Cd accumulation of rice. To screen LCD-interacting proteins is beneficial for revealing the molecular mechanism of LCD-mediated grain Cd accumulation and regulation. Using Oryza sativa ssp. japonica cv. Nipponbare as experimental material,the cDNA libraries of yeast two hybrid membrane system and nuclear system were constructed,and LCD was used as bait protein to screen the membrane system and nuclear system respectively. A total of 29 genes were obtained,and the gene ontology(GO)analyses were conducted to annotate their molecular function. Further,these genes were cloned and one-to-one interaction verification with LCD was performed. Finally,a total of 21 LCD-interacting proteins including 16 from membrane system and 5 from nuclear system were identified. Among them,6 proteins were related to the tolerance and transport of metal ions,5 were related to the stress responses,4 were related to plant development responses,and the rest 6 were related to cellular and physiological metabolisms.

Key words: rice, LCD, low cadmium, yeast two-hybrid(Y2H), interacting protein
