摘要
本研究从“Royal Gala” (Malus×domestica Borkh.) 皇家嘎啦苹果品种中克隆了一个生长素应答因子基因MdARF2 (HF41569)。系统发育分析表明，ARF2蛋白在不同物种间高度保守，MdARF2与PpARF2的亲缘关系最接近，但两者在DNA水平上存在差异。MdARF2蛋白包含三个典型的保守结构域:B3-DNA结合结合域、Auxin_resp结构域和AUX_IAA结构域。亚细胞定位分析表明，MdARF2定位于细胞核。蛋白质的三维结构预测表明，MdARF2与AtARF2高度相似，包含螺旋、折叠和无规则卷曲。MdARF2启动子含有顺式作用元件，用于响应各种胁迫、环境和激素信号。表达分析表明，MdARF2广泛表达于苹果各组织中，在根部表达量最高。通过对MdARF2转基因苹果愈伤组织的功能分析表明，MdARF2可以降低苹果对ABA信号的敏感性，增强其耐盐性。综上所述，本研究为研究arf对非生物胁迫的调控提供了新的依据。
Abstract
Auxin response factors (ARFs) play key roles throughout the whole process of plant growth and development, and mediate auxin response gene transcription by directly binding with auxin response elements (AuxREs). However, their functions in abiotic stresses are largely limited, especially in apples. Here, the auxin response factor gene MdARF2 (HF41569) was cloned from apple cultivar ‘Royal Gala’ (Malus×domestica Borkh.). Phylogenetic analysis showed that ARF2 proteins are highly conserved among different species and MdARF2 is the closest relative to PpARF2 of Prunus persica, but they differ at the DNA level. MdARF2 contains three typical conserved domains including the B3 DNA-binding domain, Auxin_resp domain and AUX_IAA domain. The subcellular localization demonstrated that MdARF2 is localized in the nucleus. The three-dimensional structure prediction of the proteins showed that MdARF2 is highly similar with AtARF2, and they contain helices, folds, and random coils. The promoter of MdARF2 contains cis-acting elements which respond to various stresses, as well as environmental and hormonal signals. Expression analysis showed that MdARF2 is widely expressed in all tissues of apple, with the highest expression of MdARF2 in root. Functional analysis with a series of MdARF2 transgenic apple calli indicated that MdARF2 can reduce the sensitivity to ABA signaling and enhance salt tolerance in apple. In summary, the results of this research provide a new basis for studying the regulation of abiotic stresses by ARFs.
