摘要:

【目的】大豆作为一种重要的经济和油料作物,其产量和品质常受大豆花叶病毒病的严重威胁,大豆花叶病毒病由大豆花叶病毒(Soybean mosaic virus,SMV)引发。实验室前期筛选到一个差异表达的C2H2型单锌指蛋白基因GmSZFP,在大豆抵抗SMV侵染过程中发挥正调控作用。利用酵母双杂交文库筛选其互作蛋白,并探究互作蛋白在大豆与SMV互作过程中的功能,为进一步解析大豆抵御SMV侵染过程中转录因子的调控网络提供理论依据。【方法】以大豆品种冀豆7号、SMV毒株SC-8和N3组成的亲和、不亲和组合为试验材料,利用酵母双杂交文库筛选GmSZFP的潜在互作蛋白,借助酵母双杂交技术(Y2H)和双分子荧光互补试验(BiFC)验证二者的互作关系。运用实时荧光定量PCR(qPCR)和烟草脆裂病毒(Tobacco rattle virus,TRV)介导的基因沉默技术(TRV-VIGS)分析潜在互作蛋白基因的表达特征及其在大豆与SMV互作过程中的功能。【结果】利用酵母双杂交文库筛选到GmSZFP的潜在互作靶蛋白GmERF7,Y2H和BiFC试验证明二者存在互作关系。GmERF7全长393个AA,包含一个AP2/ERF结构域和2个核定位(NLS)结构域;qPCR结果表明,在亲和组合中,GmERF7在接种病毒后4、12和24 h的表达水平显著高于不亲和组合,且在24 h时表达量达到峰值;利用VIGS技术沉默GmERF7,在亲和组合中,大豆叶片的接种部位有明显的胼胝质积累,而对照中几乎看不到胼胝质荧光;并且在接种后14 d,在基因沉默植株的上位叶中未检测到SMV外壳蛋白基因CP的表达,叶片未出现感染SMV症状,而在对照组中检测到CP的表达,并出现花叶、失绿等感病症状。以上结果表明,沉默GmERF7降低了SMV对大豆植株的侵染能力,增强了大豆对SMV的抗性,说明GmERF7负调控大豆的抗病性。【结论】ERF类转录因子GmERF7能够与锌指蛋白GmSZFP互作,在大豆与SMV互作过程中负调控大豆对SMV的抗性。

Abstract:

【Objective】Soybean, an important economic and oil crop, is frequently threatened by soybean mosaic virus (SMV) disease, which is caused by the soybean mosaic virus (SMV). Previous studies identified a differentially expressed C2H2 single zinc finger protein gene, GmSZFP, which positively regulated soybean resistance to SMV infection. Using a yeast two-hybrid library, we screened for proteins that interact with GmSZFP and explored their functions in the soybean-SMV interaction. This research provides a theoretical basis for further elucidating the regulatory network of transcription factors involved in soybean resistance to SMV infection. 【Method】In this study, the compatible (Jidou 7 and SMV strain SC-8) and incompatible (Jidou 7 and SMV strain N3) combinations were used to screen the potential interaction proteins of GmSZFP by yeast two-hybrid library. the protein-protein interactions were validated through yeast two-hybrid system (Y2H) and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC). Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) and Tobacco rattle virus (TRV)-based virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) were employed to analyze the transcriptional expression levels and functions of the identified interaction proteinin the soybean-SMV interaction. 【Result】We identified GmERF7 as apotential target protein of GmSZFP through yeast two-hybrid system. The interaction between GmSZFP and GmERF7 was confirmed by Y2H and BiFC. GmERF7 is a 393 -amino acid protein containing an AP2/ERF domain and two nuclear localization signals (NLS). qPCR results showed that the expression levels of GmERF7 were significantly higher in the compatible combination than those in the incompatible combination at 4, 12, and 24 hours after infection, peaking at 24 hours. VIGS-mediated silencing of GmERF7 in Jidou 7 plants infected with SC-8 (compatible combination) results in increased callose deposition at the inoculation site compared to the control. At the 14 days after inoculation, the expression of SMV coat protein CP gene was undetectable in the upper leaves of the GmERF7-silenced plants, and no SMV infection symptoms were observed. In contrast, the CP gene was detected in the control plants, which exhibited typical susceptibility symptoms such as mosaic and green-loss. These results indicate silencing GmERF7 weakened virus transport and spread between cells, thereby enhancing plant resistance to SMV. This suggest that GmERF7 negatively regulates soybean resistance to SMV. 【Conclusion】The ERF transcription factor GmERF7 interacts with the zinc finger protein GmSZFP, and negatively regulates soybean resistance to SMV.
