摘要: 【目的】克隆龙眼咖啡酰辅酶A-O-甲基转移酶(DLCCoAOMT)基因,分析其序列特征和在低温胁迫下不同组织中的表达情况并进行原核表达研究。【方法】采用RT-PCR 和RACE 技术从龙眼叶片中克隆DLCCoAOMT基因,用生物信息学方法对获得的氨基酸序列进行分析,利用荧光定量PCR 研究DLCCoAOMT 基因在不同组织中的表达。【结果】克隆得到DLCCoAOMT 基因,GenBank 登录号为JN093023。该cDNA 全长993 bp,具有1 个744 bp 的完整开放阅读框(ORF),编码247 个氨基酸。序列分析表明,DLCCoAOMT 编码的氨基酸序列与其它植物的 CCoAOMT 蛋白有很高的相似性。系统进化树分析显示,龙眼 DLCCoAOMT 与桦木属的CCoAOMT 蛋白亲缘关系较近。利用荧光定量技术进行组织表达模式分析发现,DLCCoAOMT 基因在根、茎、叶中均有表达。总体上表达量在根和茎中较多,叶中较少,随着低温胁迫时间延长,DLCCoAOMT 基因在各组织的表达量也发生变化。原核表达结果表明,DLCCoAOMT 基因在大肠杆菌中获得表达。【结论】从龙眼中克隆到咖啡酰辅酶A-O-甲基转移酶基因,该基因可能参与调控低温胁迫。

Abstract: 【Objective】The aim of this study was to clone full-length cDNA of a key enzyme gene DLCCoAOMT related to lignin metabolism in longan, investigate its sequence characteristics and analyze its expression in different organs under low temperature stress, as well as expression in the prokaryote. 【Method】 The DLCCoAOMT gene cDNA sequence was cloned from longan leaf using RT-PCR and RACE techniques. The bioinformatics methods were used to analyze putative amino acid sequence and real-time PCR method were used to study the expression of DLCCoAOMT gene in different tissues. 【Result】 The full-length cDNA of DLCCoAOMT (GenBank accession number: JN093023) in longan was cloned. The sequence consists of 993 bp with an open reading frame of 744 bp, encoding a polypeptide of 247 amino acids. Homology analysis showed that the deduced DLCCoAOMT protein was highly homologous to other CCoAOMT proteins from different species. Phylogenetic analysis also indicated that DLCCoAOMT was very closely related to DLCCoAOMT of Betula. Real-time PCR results showed that the DLCCoAOMT expressed in root, stem and leaf, and its expression was different among three organs. The mRNA of DLCCoAOMT was abundant in root and stem, but less in leaf. Furthermore, DLCCoAOMT transcription level was significantly different among root, stem and leaf with time courses of chilling treatment. Prokaryotic expression showed that recombinant plasmid was efficiently expressed in Escherichia coli BL21. 【Conclusion】 Gene DLCCoAOMT was firstly isolated and characterized from longan, which may be involved in chilling stress.
