盐胁迫对库拉索芦荟叶片中NADP-苹果酸酶基因的诱导表达

为弄清景天酸代谢植物 库拉索芦荟中NADP 苹果酸酶 (NADP ME)基因的表达与其耐盐间的关系 ,根据已知NADP 苹果酸酶序列设计引物 ,从库拉索芦荟的 2个月幼苗中扩增克隆了NADP 苹果酸酶 4 96bp的cDNA片段 ,并对其进行了序列测定 ;选用敏感品种皂质芦荟和耐盐品种库拉索芦荟做材料 ,分别检测高盐胁迫条件下NADP ME的表达和NADP ME的活性。结果表明 ,两者在不同品种的芦荟中均被诱导 ,但诱导的强度与芦荟的耐盐程度相关。Northern杂交分析表明 ,高盐、干旱、外源ABA均能强烈诱导苹果酸酶的表达 ,但寒冷对其影响不大 ,这与库拉索芦荟的生物学特性相符合 ;此外 ,为了检测库拉索芦荟中NADP 苹果酸酶受盐诱导情况 ,利用Western印迹对样品进行了分析 ,结果显示高盐条件不仅明显诱导NADP ME的合成 ,而且随着处理时间的延长其合成量也在增多。

Induced Expression of the Gene for NADP-malic Enzyme in Leaves of Aloe vera L. under Salt Stress

A cDNA fragment for NADP-malic enzyme, catalyzing the reversible oxidative decarboxylation of L- malate to produce CO 2, pyruvate and NADPH, was isolated from the leaves of a 2-month-old Aloe vera L., The level of expression of NADP-ME mRNA and accumulation of NADP-ME (AvME) protein under salt stress conditions were compared between a tolerant aloe, Aloe vera L. and a sensitive aloe, Aloe saponarea Haw. The results suggested that both the expression of the gene and the accumulation of the protein were induced in the two kinds of aloe, and the strength was related to the degree of salt tolerance. Northern blot analysis revealed that the gene for NADP-malic enzyme in Aloe vera L.( AvME ) was induced by high salt, dehydration, and exogenous abscisic acid (ABA), but not by cold treatment. To further confirm whether the synthesis of AvME protein was induced with hours of treatment, Western blot analysis of the samples was conducted. The results indicated that the induction of AvME protein expression was obvious after 48 h at high salt and the level was increased with the hours of treatment.
