西伯利亚蓼PsPIP1基因的克隆及其在NaHCO3胁迫下的表达

应用cDNA末端快速扩增(RACE)技术从西伯利亚蓼叶cDNA文库中克隆了质膜内在蛋白基因(PsPIP1)的完整编码区cDNA序列(GenBank accession No. EU626398), 长度为1 004 bp, 编码285个氨基酸。基于和其他植物水通道蛋白的氨基酸序列、推测的三维结构的比较以及系统进化分析结果, 初步确定此基因为水通道蛋白基因家族中的PIP1亚族成员。RT-PCR结果显示, PsPIP1在西伯利亚蓼的地下茎、茎、叶中均有表达, 叶中表达量最高, 地下茎次之, 茎中最低。在NaHCO₃胁迫与去胁迫的过程中, 此基因在地下茎、茎、叶中的表达模式也有较明显的差异。

Cloning of PsPIP1 gene from Polygonum sibiricum Laxm. and analysis of its expression in response to NaHCO3

Abstract: Gene PsPIP1 (GenBank accession No. EU626398) containing a complete ORF was obtained using rapid ampli-fication of cDNA ends (RACE) from the cDNA library of Polygonum sibiricum Laxm. leaves. The length of cDNA was 1 004 bp, which encoded a peptide of 285 amino acid residues. Based on other kinds of plant aquaporin amino acid sequences, the phylogenetic evolution, and tertiary structure of protein comparison, this gene was classified into aquaporin subfamily. Expression analysis by Real-time PCR showed that PsPIP1 gene was expressed in leaves, stems, and underground stems. The expression level of PsPIP1 gene was higher in leaves than in underground stems and was the lowest in stems. The ex-pression pattern of PsPIP1 gene induced by NaHCO₃ stress and de-stressing also varied remarkably.
