Resveratrol is a plant-derived phenol but the mechanism that regulates its biosynthesis remains unidentified. Stilbene synthase (STS) catalyzes resveratrol formation in vivo and we have proposed that inducers of resveratrol production affect STS expression through an unidentified epigenetic mechanism. To investigate the role of DNA methylation in resveratrol biosynthesis, we treated both rolB transgenic and empty vector control Vitis amurensis cell cultures with the DNA demethylation agent, 5-azacytidine. Treated cells had increased resveratrol production through activation of VaSTS10 expression. The lowest levels of cytosine methylation were at the 5′- and 3′-ends of the VaSTS1 protein-coding sequence. Cytosine methylation decreased mostly at the 5′- and 3′-ends of VaSTS10 after azaC treatment with an intriguing regularity in the number of cytosine nucleotides within the 5′- and 3′- ends of the protein-coding sequences. Thus, cytosine methylation is crucial for the regulation of the resveratrol biosynthetic pathway.  相似文献

It is known that somatic mutations arising during animal growth and ageing contribute to the development of neurodegenerative and other animal diseases. For plants, several studies showed that small-scale somatic DNA mutations accumulated during Arabidopsis life cycle. However, there is a lack of data on the influence of environmental stresses on somatic DNA mutagenesis in plants. In this study, we analyzed the effects of ultraviolet C (UV-C) irradiation, high soil salinity, and cadmium (CdI3) stresses on the level of small-scale somatic DNA mutations in Arabidopsis thaliana. The number of DNA mutations was examined in the Actin2 3′UTR (Actin-U1), ITS1-5.8rRNA-ITS2 (ITS), and ribulose-1,5-biphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rbcL) DNA regions. We found that somatic mutation levels considerably increased in CdI3-treated Arabidopsis plants, while the mutation levels declined in the UV-C- and NaCl-treated A. thaliana. Cadmium is a mutagen that is known to inhibit DNA repair processes. The detected stress-induced alterations in somatic DNA mutation levels were accompanied by markedly increased expression of base excision repair genes (AtARP, AtDME, AtDML2, AtDML3, AtMBD4, AtROS, AtUNG, and AtZDP), nucleotide excision repair genes (AtDDB1a, AtRad4, and AtRad23a), mismatch repair genes (AtMSH2, AtMSH3, and AtMSH7), and photoreactivation genes (AtUVR2, AtUVR3). Thus, the results demonstrated that UV-C, high soil salinity, and cadmium stresses influence both the level of DNA mutations and expression of DNA repair genes. Salt- and UV-induced activation of DNA repair genes could contribute to the stress-induced decrease in somatic mutation level.  相似文献

DNA methylation is known to be involved in the regulation of plant development and defense mechanisms. However, there is a general lack of data on the role of methylation in plant secondary metabolism. We have investigated the effect of a cytidine analog, 5-azacytidine (azaC), which is known to block DNA methylation, on resveratrol biosynthesis and stilbene synthase (STS) gene expression in Vitis amurensis cultured cells. Resveratrol is a naturally occurring polyphenol that has been reported to exhibit a wide range of important biological and pharmacological properties. We previously obtained a control cell line of V. amurensis (VV) as well as a rolB-transgenic cell line of V. amurensis (VB2) that has a higher level of resveratrol accumulation. In our experimental setup, the azaC-treated VV and VB2 calli produced 0.092% and 0.455% dry weight (DW) resveratrol, respectively. We found that treatment with 200 μM of azaC resulted in 1.9- and 2.0-fold increases in resveratrol production in VV and VB2 calli, respectively. A quantitative real-time PCR assay for STS gene expression in the azaC-treated VV and VB2 cells revealed that there were statistically increased expression levels of VaSTS10 in VV calli and of VaSTS5, VaSTS6, and VaSTS10 in VB2 calli. These results demonstrate that azaC is able to increase resveratrol production in V. amurensis calli through a mechanism that involves the induction of STS gene expression.  相似文献

The numbers of chromosomes and nucleoli in cultured cells of Vitis amurensis transformed with the rolB oncogene from A. rhizogenes have been studied. In general, the integration of the rolB gene in grape DNA mostly caused the elevation of the level of the chromosome variability, as well as higher numbers of nucleoli in the cultured cells. The possible influence of the observed chromosomal modifications on the productivity parameters of the grape cell cultures is discussed.  相似文献

DNA becomes methylated in vivo through the action of a specific group of enzymes known as methyltransferases or methylases. Plants are known to possess the methyltransferases (Met), chromo methyltransferases (CMT), and domainrearranged methyltransferases (DRM) methylase families, which affect cytosine methylation within different contexts. DNA methylation has been proposed to play a role in secondary plant metabolism, but there is a lack of valid data connecting these two processes. In this study, we treated control and transformed with rolB gene from Agrobacterium rhizogenes cell cultures of Vitis amurensis with the demethylation agent 5-azacytidine (azaC). The purpose of the current investigation was to study effects of induced DNA demethylation on methyltransferase gene expression in connection to resveratrol production, a naturally occurring polyphenol that has a wide range of intriguing biological properties. Using semi-quantitative and real-time PCR, we showed that rolB gene transformation of V. amurensis cells decreased Met and CMT expression, but significantly increased DRM expression. AzaC treatment of the control and the rolB-transgenic calli significantly increased expression of all methylases (excluding Met). Following 3 months of azaC treatment, we detected significantly elevated levels of rolB gene expression in the transgenic calli. In current paper, we discuss how methylase expression may influence resveratrol biosynthesis and rolB transgene expression. Effects of azaC application are discussed.  相似文献
