摘要:

目的 WRKY转录因子是植物转录调节因子家族之一,参与调控植物病原菌的防御、生长发育和抗逆应答等多种生理过程。小麦WRKY转录因子基因TaWRKY33可以提高转基因拟南芥对干旱和高温的抗性。通过分析TaWRKY33的耐盐性,检测TaWRKY33转录因子的转录活性,深入分析转录因子基因TaWRKY33的功能,以解析其耐盐调控机制。方法 以盐胁迫处理的小麦cDNA为模板,利用实时荧光定量PCR检测TaWRKY33在盐胁迫条件下的表达模式;将TaWRKY33的CDS序列插入带有CaMV35S启动子的pCAMBIA1302表达载体中,构建表达载体pCAMBIA1302- TaWRKY33,转入农杆菌,侵染野生型拟南芥获得转基因株系;同时利用pWMB110-TaWRKY33双元载体创建了过表达小麦株系。用转TaWRKY33的拟南芥和小麦进行耐盐性鉴定。构建诱饵载体pGBKT7-TaWRKY33,通过单转法将诱饵载体pGBKT7-TaWRKY33重组质粒和文库质粒逐步转化到酵母AH109感受态细胞。通过SD/-Trp/-Leu/-His/-Ade和X-α-gal显蓝反应筛选得到阳性克隆,进行测序和BLAST分析。制备小麦原生质体,通过瞬时表达试验共转化报告子和效应子质粒,计算相对荧光值分析转录因子的转录活性。结果 实时荧光定量PCR结果显示,TaWRKY33受盐胁迫的诱导表达。双荧光素酶瞬时表达试验表明TaWRKY33在小麦细胞中可以激活相应荧光素酶的活性。从功能分析,在正常生长条件下转基因拟南芥和野生型拟南芥没有明显差异;在盐处理条件下,转基因拟南芥的根长大于野生型拟南芥的根长;过表达拟南芥的鲜重大于野生型,呈显著性差异。重要的是,在盐处理下,鲜重、相对电导率和Na +含量表明,过表达TaWRKY33的小麦较其受体对照有更好的耐盐性。对TaWRKY33候选互作蛋白分析表明,这些候选互作蛋白主要参与植物体的信号转导或免疫过程,表明TaWRKY33在植物的逆境信号转导、基因转录调控过程中发挥着重要作用。结论 小麦TaWRKY33受盐胁迫的诱导表达,具有潜在的转录激活活性,提高了转基因拟南芥和小麦的耐盐性;TaWRKY33可能需要其他蛋白共同作用提高小麦耐盐性。

Abstract:

【Objective】 WRKY transcription factors are one of the largest families of transcriptional regulators in plants which functions in the regulation of various physiological programs, including pathogen defense, growth, development and abiotic stresses. Wheat transcription factor TaWRKY33 enhanced drought and heat tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis. To further investigate its function and stress response mechanism, this article studied its salt tolerance and screened wheat cDNA library to obtain its putative interacting proteins by yeast two-hybrid system. Meanwhile, dual luciferase system was used to detect transcriptional activity of TaWRKY33 transcription factors.【Method】 TaWRKY33 was tested under salt stress using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) based on SYBR Green I technology. The coding sequence of TaWRKY33 was cloned into pBI121 driven by CaMV35S promoter. The construct was transformed mediated by Agrobacterium into Arabidopsis plants (Col-0) to obtain transgenic lines. Meanwhile, pWMB110- TaWRKY33 binary vector was used to create over expressed wheat lines. Homozygous T3 seeds of Arabidopsis transgenic lines and T2 wheat overexpression lines were used for salt tolerance analysis. The wheat cDNA was used as the template for amplifying the TaWRKY33 coding sequence, and the bait plasmid pGBKT7- TaWRKY33 was constructed. We transformed the recombinant plasmid and cDNA library into yeast cell AH109. We screened positive clones via SD/-Trp/-Leu/-His/-Ade and SD/Raf/Gal/X-α-gal plate. Predicted clones were sequenced and analyzed by BLAST. The protoplasts of wheat were prepared, and the reporters and effector plasmids were transformed by transient expression experiments, and the relative fluorescence values were calculated to illustrate transcription activity of transcription factors. 【Result】 qRT-PCR analysis showed that TaWRKY33 was induced by salt. The transient expression experiment of double luciferase showed that TaWRKY33 could activate the luciferase activity in wheat cells. From the perspective of functional analysis, formed longer roots compared with wild type plants, the fresh weight of overexpressing Arabidopsis was significantly different from that of wild type. Importantly, from the perspective of fresh weight, relative electrical conductivity and Na + content in salt treatment showed that wheat with overexpression of TaWRKY33 had better salt tolerance than control. Through preliminary analysis, the candidate proteins screened by yeast two-hybrid system showed influence on signal transduction and immune process, which demonstrates that TaWRKY33 plays an important role in stress signal transduction and gene transcription regulation in plants.【Conclusion】 Salt-inducible TaWRKY33 improved salt tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis and wheat and it has potential transcriptional activation activity in cells; TaWRKY33 might function via interacting with a diverse array of protein partners.
