摘要: 【目的】通过对棉花脱水素基因结构特征及其在低温胁迫下表达模式进行分析,探讨脱水素在棉花响应低温过程中的功能,为棉花抗冷育种提供理论基础。【方法】以棉花抗冷品种豫2067为试验材料,根据棉花陆地棉基因组序列查找已知脱水素(dehydrin,Dhn)基因的CDS序列,利用Primer5软件设计引物,克隆该基因,并命名为GhDHN1;采用生物信息学方法分析其蛋白质性质、氨基酸含量特征、功能结构域、系统进化树;选择XbaⅠ和SmaⅠ酶切位点对植物表达载体pBI121::GFP进行双酶切,采用In-Fusion连接技术构建融合蛋白瞬时表达载体pBI121-GhDHN1::GFP;分析其在洋葱表皮细胞中的瞬时表达,进行亚细胞定位;利用抗冷材料豫2067在三叶期对低温处理(4℃,24 h)前后的叶片和根系进行转录组测序,筛选差异表达基因;在三叶期时分别对豫2067(抗冷品种)和衡棉3号(冷敏感品种)进行低温(4℃,24 h)处理,利用实时荧光定量方法分别比较根、茎、叶中GhDHN1表达量,对该基因在2个抗冷差异材料叶中的表达量进行比较;对豫2067进行不同时间低温(4℃)处理,分析GhDHN1在叶片和根中的动态表达模式。【结果】该基因全长为726 bp,开放阅读编码框为636 bp,编码211个氨基酸,预测分子量为23.79 kD,等电点为5.04,富含谷氨酸(26.10%)和赖氨酸(19.40%),不含色氨酸,半衰期为30 h,蛋白呈酸性,带负带荷,带负电荷的残基总数为60%;GhDHN1的二级结构α螺旋(Alpha helix)包含116个氨基酸残基,占54.98%,组成该蛋白的主体结构,无规则卷曲(Random coil)的氨基酸残基有87个;GhDHN1位于陆地棉D亚组第9染色体(Dt_chr9)上,在cDNA的259—348位置上含有一个长度为90 bp的内含子,2个外显子长度分别为258和378 bp;SMART和CDD分析表明该氨基酸序列含有2个保守的富含赖氨酸的K片段和1个保守的富含丝氨酸S片段,具有亲水素蛋白结构域pfam00257,表明该蛋白为K2S型脱水素;系统进化树分析表明,陆地棉亲水素GhDHN1与可可亲缘关系最近;洋葱表皮细胞中瞬时表达分析表明,GhDHN1蛋白主要定位在细胞膜附近。转录组分析表明,该基因在棉花三叶期叶片和根中,受低温处理后上调表达;荧光定量PCR分析表明,GhDHN1在4℃低温胁迫24 h后,在叶片、茎、根中均上调表达,在叶中上调表达倍数最大,在低温处理4 h和24 h时叶片中有2个表达高峰,在低温处理6 h和12 h时在根中有2个表达高峰,在抗冷材料叶片中的表达是冷敏感材料的2.47倍,说明该基因可能参与了棉花对低温的适应性调控。【结论】陆地棉GhDHN1属于典型的K2S型脱水素,与可可亲缘关系最近。该基因响应低温胁迫,在抗冷材料和冷敏感材料中表达差异显著,其表达量与棉花的抗冷性呈正相关,可以作为筛选不同抗冷材料的标记,同时可以作为重要的候选基因来培育棉花抗冷新材料。

Abstract: 【Objective】In order to explore functional genes related to low temperature stress tolerance of cotton, the characteristics of cotton dehydrin gene and its expression patterns responsed to low temperature stress in cotton were analyzed, thus providing a theoretical basis for the application of dehydrin gene in cotton chilling tolerant breeding. 【Method】 In this study, based on the upland cotton genome sequence, specific primers were designed by Primer 5 software and the dehydrin gene was cloned from the upland cotton variety Yu2067, named GhDHN1. Bioinformatics analysis was conducted to analyze the properties, amino acids content, functional domains and evolutionary relationships of the gene. Plant expression vector pBI121::GFP at XbaⅠand SmaⅠ restriction sites was constructed with double enzyme digestions and the transient expression vector pBI121-GhDHN1::GFP was constructed by In-Fusion connection technology. And the subcellular localization of GhDHN1 was studied by transient expression analysis of onion epidermal cells. Combined with the transcriptome sequencing data of chilling-resistant cotton variety Yu2067, real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR expression of leaves, stems, and roots in chilling-resistant Yu2067 and chilling-sensitive variety Hengmian No.3 under low temperature stress treatments (4℃, 24 h) at trefoil stage was performed to study the function of GhDHN1. The expression of the gene in the leaves of two different cold resistant varieties was compared. The dynamic expression of GhDHN1 gene in leaves and roots of Yu2067 was detected under 4℃ low temperature treatment. 【Result】 A cotton dehydrin gene was cloned and the sequencing analysis showed that the cDNA of the dehydrin gene was 726 bp, and the gene encoded 211 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of about 23.79 kD and the isoelectric point was 5.04. Amino acid sequence analysis indicated that the GhDHN1 was rich in glutamic acid content (26.10%) and lysine amino acid content (19.40%) with a half-life of 30 hours. GhDHN1 was acidic and negatively charged, of which 60 percent were negatively charged residues. The second structure analysis showed that the alpha helix of GhDHN1 contained 116 amino acid residues, accounting for 54.98% of the protein composition and random coil contained 87 amino acid residues. GhDHN1 gene was located on Dt_chr9 chromosome of AD genome. GhDHN1 gene contained a 90 bp intron at 259-348 position of cDNA and two exons in lengths of 258 bp and 378 bp, respectively. SMART and CDD analysis showed that GhDHD1 includes two conserved lysine-rich K fragments, a conserved serine-rich S fragment and a dehydrin functional domain pfam00257 and therefore was sorted into K2S subfamily of dehydrins. Phylogenetic analysis showed that GhDHN1 of cotton had the closest relationship with DHN1 of cacao. The analysis of the transient expression in onion epidermal cells showed that GhDHN1 was mainly localized near the cell plasma membrane. Transcriptome analysis showed that GhDHN1 gene was up-regulated in leaves and roots of cotton after low temperature treatments at the trefoil stage. qRT-PCR analysis showed that GhDHN1 was up-regulated in leaves, stems and roots after low temperature. The expression fold in leaves was higher than that in stems and roots. There were two expression peaks in leaves under low temperature treatment for 4 h and 24 h, and there were also two peaks in roots of the low temperature treatment for 6 h and 12 h. The leaf expression of the gene in cold resistant varieties was 2.47 times the expression in the cold sensitive varieties. The results showed that GhDHN1 gene may be involved in the adaptability regulation of low temperature. 【Conclusion】 GhDHN1 belonged to the member of K2S subfamily of dehydrins. Phylogenetic analysis showed that GhDHN1 had the closest relationship with DHN1 of cacao. GhDHN1 gene was induced by low temperature stress. Significant expression difference of GhDHN1 between the cold-resistance variety and cold-sensitive variety was found, and the expression of GhDHN1 was positively correlated with cotton cold-resistance. The expression of GhDHN1 can be thus employed as a marker of cotton chilling resistance. At the same time GhDHN1 gene can also serve as an important candidate gene in cotton cultivation of cold-resistant materials.
