Abstract:

Aspartate protease (AP) is one of the four major proteolytic enzymes and plays an important role in protein processing, signal transduction, and stress response. Brassica napus is an important oil crop in China. We identified 154 APs coding genes in Brassica napu by protein homology analysis, which encoded typical, atypical, and nucellar aspartate proteases, respectively. Gene structure analysis showed that most BnAPs genes contained 1-4 exons and the motif distribution of the same type of aspartic protease was similar. Collinearity analysis revealed that there was a large number of homologous genes between Brassica napus and Brassica rape, Brassica oleracea and Arabidopsis thaliana, and about 89% of BnAPs genes came from genome-wide replication events. Transcriptional analysis demonstrated that BnAPs gene family was expressed in all tissues. The stigma of BnAP30.A05.1/ A05.2/C05.1/C05.2, BnAP36.A04/C08, and BnAP39.A06/C03 increased significantly after pollination. Cis-element analysis in the promoter region of BnAPs gene presented that stress-related cis regulatory elements were significantly enriched. We further verify that the relative expression levels of these genes rich in stress-related cis regulatory elements changed significantly after stress (ABA, NaCl, or 4℃), suggesting that these BnAPs genes may be involved in response to stress in Brassica napus. Compared with Arabidopsis homologous genes, about 24% of BnAPs had the same expression pattern as their homologous AtAPs. This study laid a foundation for further understanding the biological function of aspartic protease family in Brassica napus.

Key words: Brassica napus, aspartic protease, collinearity analysis, expression patterns, RT-qPCR
