摘要
本研究鉴定了一个新的lncRNA，命名为干旱诱导型lncRNA（DIR，DROUGHT-INDUCED INTERGENIC lncRNA)。基因表达分析表明，干旱胁迫显著诱导了DIR的表达，而植物激素脱落酸和茉莉酸处理不影响DIR的表达。此外，过表达DIR基因可增强转基因木薯脯氨酸的积累从而提升抗旱性。RNA测序分析发现，DIR优先影响与干旱相关的转录基因和代谢相关基因。利用RNA下拉技术（RNA pull-down）联合质谱分析发现DIR与325个蛋白存在相互作用。蛋白-蛋白互作分析（Protein-protein interaction analysis，PPI）发现，mRNA胞质运输和蛋白质翻译质控通路相关的蛋白质被显著富集。这些结果表明，DIR与其互作蛋白可通过调控mRNAs或蛋白质的代谢来响应干旱胁迫。因此，干旱胁迫下通过调节DIR的表达有提高木薯产量的潜力。
Abstract
Cassava is an important tropical cash crop. Severe drought stresses affect cassava productivity and quality, and cause great economic losses in agricultural production. Enhancing the drought tolerance of cassava can effectively improve its yield. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are present in a wide variety of eukaryotes. Recently, increasing evidence has shown that lncRNAs play a critical role in the responses to abiotic stresses. However, the function of cassava lncRNAs in the drought response remains largely unknown. In this study, we identified a novel lncRNA, DROUGHT-INDUCED INTERGENIC lncRNA (DIR). Gene expression analysis showed that DIR was significantly induced by drought stress treatment, but did not respond to abscisic acid (ABA) or jasmonic acid (JA) treatments. In addition, overexpression of the DIR gene enhanced proline accumulation and drought tolerance in transgenic cassava. RNA-seq analysis revealed that DIR preferentially affected drought-related genes that were linked to transcription and metabolism. Moreover, RNA pull-down mass spectrometry analysis showed that DIR interacted with 325 proteins. A protein–protein interaction (PPI) analysis found a marked enrichment in proteins associated with the mRNA export and protein quality control pathways. Collectively, these results suggest that DIR and its interacting proteins that regulate mRNA or protein metabolism are involved in mediating the drought stress response. Thus, regulating DIR expression has potential for improving cassava yield under drought conditions.
