Abstract:

Based on our previous findings of cloning, expression characteristics and subcellular-location of gene ZmHSF-Like, We analyzed the signal transduction pathway responding to different abiotic stresses. The results showed that the relative expression of gene ZmHSF-Like was up-regulated by H2O2. Up-regulating gene expression by heat shock of 42 ºC was dependent on existence of H2O2, while that PEG-6000 treatment was not. Up-regulating gene expression with ABA was partially dependent on H2O2. The relative expression of gene ZmHSF-Like was up-regulated by Ca2+ too, and chelating Ca2+ with methyleneglycol-bis- (2-aminoethylether)-N,N,N´,N´-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) and blocking Ca2+ intracellular transport with verapamil (Vp) did not decrease gene expression up-regulated by heat shock, PEG and ABA treatments. Those results illustrated that ZmHSF-Like realizes the response to heat shock and ABA through H2O2 signal transduction pathway. While treated with H2O2, the HSP704 gene expression was synchronous with that of ZmHSF-Like gene, HSP704might be the downstream binding protein of ZmHSF-Like in this signal transduction pathway. HSP701, HSP702, and HSPeu701 had the synchronous gene expression with that of ZmHSF-Like gene after Ca2+ treatment, suggesting that they are the downstream binding proteins of ZmHSF-Likeresponding to Ca2+. Those results further indicated that ZmHSF-Like makes response to different stresses through binding different HSPs.
