摘要:

【目的】以中国莲(Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.)的多酚氧化酶家族成员之一NnPPO1(GenBank: ADC92563.1)为研究对象,筛选、验证与其互作的蛋白,为深入研究莲藕PPO的分子作用机制、精准抑制其活性奠定基础。【方法】利用酵母双杂交(Y2H)技术,验证莲藕抗氧化酶是否与NnPPO1存在互作关系。通过转化酵母试验检测互作蛋白过氧化氢酶同工酶NnCAT1(GenBank:XP_010242894.1)的毒性和自激活活性。构建双分子荧光标记试验(BiFC)所用的35S-NnPPO1-SPYNER173、35S-NnCAT1-SPYCEM表达载体,通过农杆菌介导法,将重组质粒转化烟草,进一步验证NnPPO1与NnCAT1之间的互作关系。根据NnPPO1和NnCAT1的结构域截短蛋白,寻找互作关键结构域。利用PlantCARE分析NnPPO1NnCAT1启动子相关作用元件,利用实时荧光定量PCR(qRT-PCR)分析NnPPO1NnCAT1在莲藕不同组织中的表达水平。采用同源重组的方法构建35S-NnCAT1-GFP融合蛋白表达载体,用于亚细胞定位分析。运用DNAMAN软件对NnCAT1序列和其他物种序列进行多序列比对。运用生物信息学网站对NnCAT1进行理化性质与结构分析。【结果】NnCAT1与NnPPO1存在蛋白互作,且NnCAT1蛋白无自激活作用,对酵母菌株也没有毒性。在细胞膜和细胞核上观察到黄色荧光信号,进一步证实NnPPO1与NnCAT1之间存在互作。NnPPO1的酪氨酸酶结构域在蛋白互作中发挥主要作用。NnPPO1NnCAT1启动子序列上存在多种顺式调控元件,如光响应元件Box 4、GT1-motif、TCT-motif,逆境响应元件ARE以及激素响应元件CGTCA-motif、TGACG-motif等。NnPPO1NnCAT1的表达模式基本相同,在各组织中均有表达,均在叶中表达量最高,在茎尖中表达量最低。亚细胞定位结果显示NnCAT1定位于细胞膜和细胞核中。莲藕NnCAT1的相对分子质量约为57.0 kD,理论等电点(PI)为6.93;该蛋白为同源四聚体亲水性蛋白质;无跨膜结构和信号肽,存在叶绿体转运肽,前21 aa为转运肽区域;二级结构由27.64%的α-螺旋、15.65%延长链、6.30%β-转角和50.41%无规则卷曲构成。【结论】筛选出NnCAT1与NnPPO1之间存在蛋白互作,用BiFC进一步证实两者互作的真实性,NnPPO1保守的酪氨酸酶结构域在互作中发挥主要作用;NnPPO1NnCAT1的表达模式基本相同,推测NnPPO1与NnCAT1协同互作导致莲藕等果蔬褐变。

Abstract:

【Objective】The protein interacting with NnPPO1 (GenBank: ADC92563.1), a member of the polyphenol oxidase family of China Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.), was screened and verified, which laid the foundation for further studying of the molecular mechanism of PPO and precise inhibition of its activity in Nelumbo nucifera. 【Method】The interaction between Nelumbo nucifera antioxidant enzyme and NnPPO1 was verified by yeast double hybridization (Y2H). The toxicity and self-activation activity of the interacting protein catalase isoenzyme NnCAT1 (GenBank: XP_010242894.1) were detected by the transformed yeast experiment. The expression vectors of 35S-NnPPO1-SPYNER173 and 35S-NnCAT1-SPYCEM used in the BiFC experiment were constructed. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into tobacco by an agrobacteria-mediated method to further verify the interaction between NnPPO1 and NnCAT1. The proteins were truncated based on the domains of NnPPO1 and NnCAT1 to find the key domains of interaction. PlantCARE and real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) were used to analyze the promoter-related components of NnPPO1 and NnCAT1 as well as their expression levels in different tissues of Nelumbo nucifera. The 35S-NnCAT1-GFP fusion protein expression vector was constructed by homologous recombination method to analyze subcellular localization. DNAMAN software was used to perform multi-sequence alignment between the NnCAT1 sequence and other species sequences. The basic character and structure of NnCAT1 were analyzed by using bioinformatics website. 【Result】NnCAT1 interacts with NnPPO1, had no self-activation or toxicity to yeast. The interaction between NnPPO1 and NnCAT1 was further confirmed by the yellow fluorescence signal observed on the cell membrane and nucleus. The tyrosinase domain of NnPPO1 played a major role in protein interactions. NnPPO1 and NnCAT1 promoter sequences contained a variety of cis-regulatory elements, such as photoresponse element (Box 4, GT1-motif, and TCT-motif), stress response element (ARE), and hormone response element (CGTCA-motif and TGACG-motif). The expression patterns of NnPPO1 and NnCAT1 were almost the same. They were expressed in all tissues, with the highest expression in leaf and lowest expression in stem tip. Subcellular localization showed that NnCAT1 was localized in the cell membrane and nucleus. NnCAT1 had a molecular weight of 57.0 kD and a theoretical isoelectric point (PI) of 6.93. This protein was a homologous tetramer hydrophilic protein without transmembrane structure and signal peptide, and its chloroplast transport peptide was located in the former 21 aa. The secondary structure was composed of 27.64% α-helix, 15.65% extended chain, 6.30% β-turn and 50.41% random coil. 【Conclusion】Firstly, NnCAT1 interacted with NnPPO1, and the authenticity of the interaction was further verified by the BiFC test. Secondly, the conserved tyrosinase domain of NnPPO1 played a major role in the interaction. NnPPO1 and NnCAT1 had almost the same expression pattern, and they might lead to browning of fruits and vegetables such as Nelumbo nucifera through a synergistic effect.
