Embodiment 1

[0094] Embodiment 1, the cloning of gene and the construction of recombinant vector

[0095] 1. Cloning of CBL2 and CBL3 genes

[0096] The 14-day-old wild-type Arabidopsis (Col-0) RNA was extracted, reverse-transcribed into cDNA by ReverTra Ace reverse transcriptase (TOYOBO, Japan), and the gene sequences of CBL2 and CBL3 were respectively amplified using the cDNA as a template. The primers used are as follows:

[0097] CBL2F: CTAATG TCGCAGTGCGTTGACGGT (SEQ ID NO: 7);

[0098] CBL2R: GCCGCTGCTTGCTTTTGCTTTTG (SEQ ID NO: 8);

[0099] CBL3F: CATATG TCGCAGTGCATAGACGGT (SEQ ID NO: 9);

[0100] CBL3R:TTCCCAAATTGTCTCCTCTGCTAA (SEQ ID NO: 10).

[0101] The full-length gene sequences were ligated into the EcoRV digested pBluescript KS (pKS) plasmid (Invitrogen) and sequenced.

[0102] 2. Construction of CBL2-YFP and CBL3-YFP vectors and acquisition of transgenic plants

[0103] Using the pKS plasmids containing CBL2 and CBL3 as templates, high-fidelity Taq enzyme KOS-plus wa...

Embodiment 2

[0138] Embodiment 2, cell localization

[0139] The CBL2 and CBL3 genes in Arabidopsis thaliana were isolated and cloned by molecular cloning technology, and the recombinant vectors for transient expression of CBL2-YFP and CBL3-YFP were constructed.

[0140] The method of PEG-mediated transformation of plant leaf protoplasts (Yoo SD, Cho YH, Sheen J (2007); Arabidopsis mesophyll protoplasts: a versatile cell system for transient gene expression analysis. Nat Protoc 2: 1565-1572) in Arabidopsis 35S:CBL2-YFP and 35S:CBL3-YFP were transiently expressed in mustard protoplasts. Then the position of the fused fluorescent protein was observed under a fluorescent confocal microscope.

[0141] The results showed that the signals of 35S:CBL2-YFP and 35S:CBL3-YFP were clearly localized on the tonoplast membrane of Arabidopsis cells, as shown in figure 1 a.

[0142] In order to exclude the effects of transient expression and high osmotic potential environment, the inventors constructed...

Embodiment 3

[0143] Example 3, Tonoplast Membrane Localization Related Sequences

[0144] Sequence comparison shows that CBL2 and CBL3 have 16 more amino acids than plasma membrane localized proteins such as CBL1 in the same family, which may be very important for its tonoplast localization ( figure 2 Figure below, box marked). Since CBL2 and CBL3 proteins are highly homologous, the inventors further took CBL2 as an object to study the determinants of their tonoplast membrane localization. A recombinant vector expressing the N-terminal 16 amino acids of CBL2 and YFP fusion protein (CBL2N16-YFP) and a recombinant vector expressing CBL2 and YFP fusion protein (CBL2ΔN16-YFP) without the N-terminal 16 amino acids of CBL2 were constructed. After transient expression in Arabidopsis protoplasts, the position of the fused fluorescent protein was visualized under a fluorescent confocal microscope.

[0145] It was found that after removing the 16 amino acids at the front end of CBL2, the protein ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a tonoplast localization sequence and its application. The inventor, for the first time, separates a segment of signal sequence for specific location of cell tonoplast, i.e. a tonoplast targeting sequence (TTS). The sequence can lead accurate and efficient location of protein on intracellular tonoplast. The sequence can be utilized to perform localization transformation on target protein, and expression of the target protein at other sites other than the tonoplast can be reduced or prevented.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the fields of biotechnology and botany; more specifically, the invention relates to a tonoplast membrane localization sequence and its application. Background technique [0002] Cells are the basic unit of various life forms, and various proteins are distributed orderly in each division of the cell according to their own characteristics to perform corresponding biological functions (Cavalier-Smith, 2009). The main divisions of plant cells include plasma membrane and other inner membrane systems, nucleus, cytoplasm, and various organelles such as mitochondria, chloroplasts, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, peroxisomes, and vacuoles located therein. These tiny structures or divisions that make up cells are collectively called subcellular structures. In plant cells, a variety of biologically active proteins are distributed on each subcellular structure. The study of protein subcellular localization is an essent...
