Abstract:

SWEET proteins play important regulatory roles in plant growth and development, stress response and sugar metabolism, but few research has been reported on SWEET proteins in sweet potato. It is of great theoretical and practical significance to carry out functional studies on sweet potato SWEET proteins to reveal their functions in sugar transport and starch and sugar metabolism. Based on the transcripts of SWEET encoding gene differentially expressed in sweet potato storage roots with different starch-related traits, specific primers were designed and the full-length cDNA sequence of IbSWEET15 was cloned using RACE method. IbSWEET15 bioinformatics was performed using online software, and its classification was clarified by phylogenetic tree analysis. The subcellular localization of the protein encoded by IbSWEET15 gene was identified by transient expression of IbSWEET15-GFP fusion protein in Nicotiana benthamiana, while yeast mutant complementation experiments were carried out to identify the sugar transport function of IbSWEET15 in yeast. The relative expression pattern of IbSWEET15 genes in various organs of sweet potato were analyzed by qRT-PCR. IbSWEET15 expression vector was constructed and transformed into Arabidopsis wild-type Col-0 by floral dip method to obtain IbSWEET15 heterologously expressed Arabidopsis lines, and the starch and sugar contents of the transgenic plants were measured and compared with those of wild-type Arabidopsis plants, and the function of IbSWEET15 in starch and sugar metabolism was identified. IbSWEET15, with an open reading frame of 879 bp, encoded a 292 amino acid sucrose transporter protein with two MtN3_slv conserved structural domains and seven transmembrane structural domains, and was a member of clade III of the SWEET protein family. The protein encoded by IbSWEET15 localized at the plasma membrane and did not transport sucrose and hexose in yeast mutant. IbSWEET15 gene had the highest expression in sweet potato branches, followed by stems and leaves, and the lowest expression in storage roots. The leaf soluble sugar contents of the IbSWEET15 heterologously expressed Arabidopsis lines were significantly decreased, while the seed soluble sugar and starch contents were higher than wild type. We proposed that IbSWEET15 played an important role in phloem loading during the source to sink transport of photosynthetic product as well as sugar and starch accumulation. This study provides the critical information for understanding the function of IbSWEET15 in starch and sugar metabolism, and formation of important quality traits in sweet potato.

Key words: sweet potato, IbSWEET15, soluble sugar, starch
