番茄多蛋白桥梁因子基因LeMBF1的克隆及抗病性分析

采用同源序列克隆法,从番茄中克隆了多蛋白桥梁因子基因LeMBF1,该基因包含一个完整的420 bp的开放阅读框,编码139个氨基酸,具有MBF1保守结构域.LeMBF1氨基酸序列与马铃薯StMBF1、烟草NtMBF1和葡萄VvMBF1的氨基酸序列相似度分别是99.3%、91.4%和84.2%.为了研究番茄多蛋白桥梁因子LeMBF1在植物抗病性中的作用,以LeMBF1超表达转基因番茄和野生型番茄为材料,对其进行接种病原细菌Pst.DC3000和尖孢镰刀菌Fusarium.oxysporum的生物胁迫实验.抗菌表型分析发现,LeMBF1超表达转基因番茄叶片上的菌斑数明显少于对照植株;实时定量PCR分析表明,LeMBF1超表达番茄植株中防卫基因PR1、PR6的表达水平明显增强.由此可见,LeMBF1可能通过激活部分PRs基因的表达提高了植物的抗病性.     

Isolation and characterization of a potato cDNA corresponding to a 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) oxidase gene differentially activated by stress

1-Aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) oxidase enzyme catalyses the final step in ethylene biosynthesis, converting 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid to ethylene. A cDNA clone encoding an ACC oxidase, ST-ACO3, was isolated from potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) by differential screening of a Fusarium eumartii infected-tuber cDNA library. The deduced amino acid sequence exhibited similarity to other ACC oxidase proteins from several plants species. Northern blot analysis revealed that the ST-ACO3 mRNA level increased in potato tubers upon inoculation with F. eumartii, as well as after treatment with salicylic acid and indole-3-acetic acid, suggesting a cross-talk between different signalling pathways involved in the defence response of potato tubers against F. eumartii attack.     

辣椒ATP硫酸化酶基因（CaATPS1）的克隆与逆境表达

采用 RT-PCR和RACE方法,克隆了叶绿体ATP硫酸化酶基因的全长序列,命名为CaATPS1,GenBank 登录号为KX009745。该基因包含1个长为1 377 bp的完整开放阅读框,编码 458个氨基酸,预测分子量51.11 kD,等电点6.74。氨基酸同源性分析表明,该基因与 GenBank 中登录的茄科植物烟草、马铃薯及其它物种中的ATPS1氨基酸序列具有较高的同源性;进化树分析表明,辣椒CaATPS1与同为茄科属的烟草、马铃薯和胡麻属的芝麻处于同一进化分枝上,而与十字花科植物进化关系较远;荧光定量PCR分析显示,CaATPS1能被低温、干旱、高盐、机械损伤、过氧化氢、水杨酸、乙烯利以及DC3000侵染等各种胁迫和信号分子诱导。
