Abstract:

Thaumatin-like protein (TLP) is an essential protein induced by low temperature stress and enhances plant resistance to adverse circumstances. In our study, we selected differential protein spots from Longyou 7 leaves under low temperature stress and separated TLP closely related to cold resistance by using two-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry. Using the primers of TLP cDNA sequences and reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR), we cloned the complete open reading frame of TLP gene of winter Brassica rapa cultivar Longyou7. The sequence length of TLP from Brassica rapa was 732 bp, encoding a protein of 243 amino acid residues with a predicted molecular weight of 26.02 kD and a theoretical pI of 9.02. Bioinformatics analysis showed a similarity of 99.18% in TLP amino acid sequence between B. rapa and Brassica napus, the predicted TLP contained a conserved amino acid sequence belonging to the plant GH69-TLP-SF superfamily. The TLP had one signal peptide which belongs to hydrophilic protein. Moreover, the detection of subcellular localization suggested the synthetic process of this protein is in the endoplasmic reticulum. The prediction of the second structures indicated that TLP is a labile protein consisting of random coils and extended strands. The expression analysis of TLP gene by utilizing real time and Semi-quantitative RT-PCR suggested that the TLP expression could be up-regulated in response to lower temperature. In conclusion, TLP gene of the winter Brassica rapa cultivar Longyou 7 might play a significant role in response to cold stress.
