擬南芥profilin2啟動子5′端缺失對維管束特異表達(dá)的影響Introduction

Plantvasculartissuesplayacriticalroleinthetransportationanddistributionofnutrients,water,andsignalingmoleculesthroughouttheplantbody.ThemolecularmechanismsregulatingvasculardevelopmentandfunctionhavebeenextensivelystudiedinArabidopsisthaliana,amodelplantspecieswidelyusedinplantbiologyresearch.Profilin2(PRO2)isasmall,actin-bindingproteinthathasbeenimplicatedinvariouscellularprocesses,includingcytoskeletonorganization,celldivision,andsignalingpathways.InArabidopsis,PRO2isexpressedinatissue-specificmanner,includinginthevasculartissues.PreviousstudieshaveidentifiedaPRO2promoterregionthatiscriticalforitsvascular-specificexpression,buttheexactsequenceelementsinvolvedarenotwellcharacterized.Inthisstudy,weinvestigatedtheeffectofa5′-enddeletioninthePRO2promoterregiononitsvascular-specificexpression.

Methods

TogeneratethePRO2promoterdeletionconstruct,weusedPCRamplificationandcloningtechniquestoremovethe5′-endpromotersequence,spanningfrom-800to-400basepairsrelativetothetranscriptionstartsite.WethentransformedthisconstructintoArabidopsisplantsusingthefloraldipmethod.WeanalyzedtheresultingtransgeniclinesforchangesinPRO2expressionbyRT-qPCRandinsituhybridizationtechniques.Wealsoexaminedtheeffectofthepromoterdeletiononplantgrowthandvasculardevelopmentbymeasuringplantheight,stemdiameter,andvasculartissuepatterns.

Results

Ouranalysesrevealedthatthe5′-enddeletioninthePRO2promoterresultedinasignificantreductioninitsvascular-specificexpression.RT-qPCRdatashoweda70%reductioninPRO2transcriptlevelsinthestemtissuesoftransgenicplantscarryingthedeletionconstructcomparedtowild-typeplants.InsituhybridizationconfirmedthereducedexpressionofPRO2specificallyinthevasculartissuesoftransgenicplantswiththedeletionconstruct.Wealsoobservedaslightreductioninplantheightandstemdiameterintransgenicplantswiththedeletionconstruct,butnoobviousalterationsinthearrangementormorphologyofthevasculartissues.

Discussion

Ourresultsindicatethatthe5′-endregionofthePRO2promoterplaysanessentialroleinregulatingitsvascular-specificexpression.Consistentwithpreviousstudies,wefoundthatPRO2isprimarilyexpressedinthevasculartissuesofArabidopsis,andthatitsexpressioniscriticalfornormalplantgrowthandvasculardevelopment.TheobservedreductioninPRO2expressionintransgenicplantswiththedeletionconstructsuggeststhatthedeletedsequencecontainsimportantcis-regulatoryelementsthatpromotevascular-specificexpressionofPRO2.Althoughwedidnotobservesignificantalterationsinvasculartissuemorphologyorarrangementintransgenicplantswiththedeletionconstruct,theslightreductioninplantheightandstemdiametermayindicatethatPRO2playsaroleinpromotingcelldivisionorelongationinthestemtissues.

Conclusion

Inconclusion,ourstudyprovidesevidencethatthe5′-endregionofthePRO2promoteriscriticalforitsvascular-specificexpression.Ourresultssuggestthatthedeletedsequencecontainscis-regulatoryelementsthatareinvolvedintheregulationofPRO2expressioninthevasculartissues.TheslightreductioninplantgrowthobservedintransgenicplantswiththedeletionconstructsuggeststhatPRO2playsaroleinplantdevelopment,possiblybypromotingcelldivisionorelongationinthestemtissues.Furtherstudiesareneededtoidentifythespecificcis-regulatoryelementsandtranscriptionfactorsthatregulatePRO2expressioninthevasculartissues,andtoelucidatetheprecisemolecularmechanismsbywhichPRO2promotesplantgrowthandvasculardevelopment.Potentialimplicationsandfuturedirections
