摘要：

前期研究发现自然反义转录本cis-NATZmNAC48可负调控干旱响应基因ZmNAC48, 为了进一步探索cis- NATZmNAC48的功能, 本研究以cis-NATZmNAC48 cDNA序列、ZmNAC48蛋白质编码序列检索玉米B73参考基因组, 获取基因上游启动子序列, 并利用PlantCARE[1]和New PLACE[2]预测启动子调控元件, 发现cis-NATZmNAC48和ZmNAC48启动子序列中除含有CAAT-box, TATA-box等基本元件外, 还含有激素响应元件以及转录因子结合元件等。构建cis-NATZmNAC48和ZmNAC48启动子融合GUS的表达载体, 并通过花序侵染法获得转基因拟南芥。分析GUS染色和GUS酶活性发现, Procis-NATZmNAC48:GUS和ProZmNAC48:GUS转基因拟南芥根、茎、叶中均有GUS表达, 且渗透胁迫处理后Procis-NATZmNAC48:GUS转基因拟南芥中GUS 基因的表达量和GUS酶活性显著降低, 而ProZmNAC48:GUS转基因拟南芥中GUS基因的表达量和GUS酶活性显著增加, 可见cis-NATZmNAC48和ZmNAC48启动子均响应渗透胁迫。DNA甲基化是影响启动子活性的调控事件之一, 本研究通过分析cis-NATZmNAC48启动子区域DNA甲基化情况, 发现在cis-NATZmNAC48序列前400~1000 bp存在DNA甲基化修饰, 渗透胁迫处理后, 该甲基化区域甲基化富集情况发生了显著的变化, 但发生显著性变化的甲基化位点并未在顺式调控元件上。这些结果为后续cis-NATZmNAC48的调控分析奠定了重要的基础。

Abstract:

Previous studies indicate that natural antisense transcript, cis-NATZmNAC48, acts as a negative regulator for maize drought stress response gene ZmNAC48. To further characterize the function of cis-NATZmNAC48, we used cis-NATZmNAC48 cDNA sequence and ZmNAC48 protein coding sequence to retrieve maize B73 reference genome and obtain the upstream promoter. PlantCARE and New PLACE were used to predict promoter regulatory elements, which revealed that the promoter of cis-NATZmNAC48 and ZmNAC48 contained not only CAAT-box, TATA-box, and other basic elements, but also hormone response elements and transcription factor binding element. Plant expression vectors of GUS fusion with cis-NATZmNAC48 and ZmNAC48 promoters were constructed and transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana was obtained by infecting inflorescences. GUS staining analysis showed that Procis-NATZmNAC48:GUS and ProZmNAC48:GUS was expressed in roots, stems, and leaves of Arabidopsis thaliana. After osmotic stress treatment, the relative expression level of GUS gene and GUS enzyme activity of Procis-NATZmNAC48:GUS transgenic Arabidopsis were significantly decreased and increased significantly in ProZmNAC48:GUS transgenic Arabidopsis, which indicating that both cis-NATZmNAC48 and ZmNAC48 promoters responded to osmotic stress. DNA methylation was one of the regulatory events that affected promoter activity. In this study, we found that DNA methylation modification existed in the promoter region of cis-NATZmNAC48. After osmotic stress treatment, the methylation enrichment changed significantly, but the methylation sites with significant changes were not in the cis-regulatory elements. These results laid an important basis for the analysis of cis-NATZmNAC48 regulation.

Key words: maize, natural antisense transcript, promoter, osmotic stress
