Abstract:

Objective The aim of this study is to identify the transcription factors binding to patatin promoters and provide new gene resources for patatin protein accumulation. Method We selected Stpatatin 05 gene as a candidate gene. Its promoter was cloned and integrated into the pAbAi vector to obtain the pAbAi-Stpatatin 05 bait vector. The resultant vector was then transformed into Y1H yeast cells to yield the yeast bait strain. Yeast one-hybrid (Y1H) screening was conducted based on the cDNA library of young potato tuber tissues. The interaction of candidate proteins was verified and the interaction motif was analyzed. The effect on the expression of the target gene was investigated using dual-luciferase reporter system. Result A candidate protein StMYB86-like was obtatined by Y1H. StMYB86-like belongs to the MYB-like transcription factors family and encodes a protein of 320 amino acids. It is located in the nucleus. The full length sequence of StMYB86-like was cloned to verify the interaction. The Y1H results showed that the yeast cells in the control group did not grow normally under the condition of 30 mmol/L 3-amino-1, 2, 4-triazole (3-AT), while the yeast cells in the experimental group grew normally, supporting the interaction between StMYB86-like and the promoter of Stpatatin 05 gene. Y1H results indicated that StMYB86-like bound to the CAACTG motif in the promoter, and the dual-luciferase reporter system showed that StMYB86-like negatively regulates the expression of its downstream target gene. Conclusion StMYB86-like interacts with Stpatatin 05 promoter; which may play a role in the accumulation of patatin protein in potato tubers.
