摘要 AP2/EREBP (APETALA2/ethylene-responsive element binding protein)转录因子是植物中最大和最保守的基因家族之一,在植物生长、发育和极端温度(冻害、热胁迫)、干旱、高盐和病原体感染等多种逆境胁迫应答过程中发挥着重要作用,同时还参与了各种激素相关的信号转导通路。该转录因子超家族可分为4个亚类,即乙烯应答因子(ethylene-responsive factor, ERF),干旱应答元件结合蛋白(dehydration-responsive element binding protein, DREB),RAV(related to ABI3/VP1)和AP2。其中DREB亚类转录因子在高等植物应答干旱、高盐和低温胁迫中发挥着重要作用。前期对二穗短柄草(Brachypodium distachyon) AP2/EREBP基因超家族进行分析时,发现DREB亚类中的BdDREB38基因受到冷胁迫诱导,而其在其他几种非生物胁迫及其启动子的表达模式尚不清楚。本研究利用qRT-PCR首先检测了BdDREB38基因冷、干旱、盐、脱落酸(abscisic acid, ABA)、水杨酸 (Salicylic acid, SA)和H2O2几种非生物胁迫条件下的表达模式。结果表明:在NaCl和H2O2处理的各个时间点,BdDREB38基因的表达量与对照差异不大;而在干旱处理条件下,BdDREB38基因的表达量随着处理时间的延长而逐渐上升。此外,冷处理2 h与ABA处理1 h,BdDREB38基因的表达量显著高于对照,而在SA处理5 h时,BdDREB38基因的表达量有所下降。这些结果暗示了BdDREB38基因的启动子有可能是一个逆境胁迫响应启动子。为了进一步分析BdDREB38基因的启动子结构与功能,本研究利用PCR的方法克隆了该基因上游1 510 bp的启动子区域(命名为PBdDREB38)。PlantCARE启动子在线分析表明:PBdDREB38不但含有TATA-box、CAAT-box基本的顺式作用元件,同时还含有LTR、HSE、TC-rich repeats、TCA、SP1等多种胁迫及光响应相关元件。为验证该启动子的表达特性,将PBdDREB38启动子连接到pCAMBIA1381-GUS载体上,并通过农杆菌(Agrobacterium)介导法转化烟草(Nicotiana tabacum),获得的阳性转基因烟草T1代植株GUS染色结果表明:该启动子在干旱胁迫条件下能够显著诱导GUS报告基因的表达。本研究结果为进一步研究BdDREB38基因及其启动子功能提供了理论依据。

Abstract:The APETALA2/ethylene-responsive element binding protein (AP2/EREBP) superfamily is one of the largest and most conserved gene families in plant. It has great contributions in plant growth, development and response to diverse stresses such as extreme temperature (freezing damage, and heat stress), drought, high salinity and pathogen infection. It has also been involved in various hormone-related signal transduction pathways. The AP2/EREBP superfamily could be classified as four subfamilies, i.e., ERF (ethylene-responsive factor), DREB (dehydration-responsive element binding protein), RAV (related to ABI3/VP) and AP2. DREB subfamily genes play an important role in response to drought, high salt and low temperature stress in higher plants. In our previous analysis of Brachypodium distachyon AP2/EREBP gene superfamily, we found that B. distachyon DREB38 gene (BdDREB38) of DREB subfamily was significantly induced by cold, while its expression profile under other stress conditions and the activity of its promoter was still unclear. In this study, the expression profile of BdDREB38 gene under several abiotic stress conditions including cold, drought, NaCl, abscisic acid (ABA), salicylic acid (SA) and H2O2 was detected by qRT-PCR. The result showed that the expression of BdDREB38 gene had no obvious change at each time point of NaCl and H2O2 treatments in contrast with the control (without treatment), but increased gradually with the extension of drought treatment time. Moreover, the expression of BdDREB38 gene was significantly higher than that of control at 1 h point after cold treatment and at 2 h point after ABA treatment, whereas the expression of BdDREB38 gene decreased at 5 h point after SA treatment. These results indicated that the promoter of BdDREB38 gene might be a stress-inducible promoter. To further investigate the structure and function of BdDREB38 promoter in B. distachyon, a 1 510 bp fragment (named as PBdDREB38) at the upstream of this gene was cloned. Plant CARE analysis reveals that this promoter not only consists of the basic cis-elements such as TATA box and CAAT box, but also includes some cis-elements involved in adversity stress and light response, such as LTR (lower temperature response element)、HSE (Heat shock response element), TC-rich repeats (defense and stress response element), SP1(light response element), TCA-element (SA response element) and so on. To investigate the expression profiles of this promoter, it was fused with the β-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene in the recombinant expression vector pCAMBIA1381-GUS, and then the constructed expression vector was transformed into tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) through Agrobacterium-mediated method. GUS staining result showed that BdDREB38 promoter could be significantly induced by drought stress, but was not induced by cold treatment, although BdDREB38 gene enhanced its expression after 2 h cold treatment. This case may be the reason that one regulatory element in the promoter region is not enough to drive the expression of its downstream target genes and needs other remote cis-acting element such as enhancer in the promoter region to promote the binding of transcription factors and finally activates their downstream target genes. This study would provide a theoretical basis for further functional study of BdDREB38 gene and its promoter in B. distachyon.
