Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of genetic engineering technology, specifically relating to a rubber tree DELLA3 gene and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Natural rubber, derived from latex produced by rubber trees and other latex-producing plants, is primarily composed of cis-1,4-polyisoprene. It is an irreplaceable high-molecular-weight biopolymer and a crucial raw material for industries such as transportation, medicine, and defense. Latex is a secondary metabolite for rubber trees and other latex-producing plants, mainly used for defense against various types of attacks from herbivores, fungi, parasites, and viruses. The biosynthesis of natural rubber (NR) is a typical secondary metabolic process, synthesized in latex ducts via the mevalonic acid pathway. Gibberellins (GA) are a large family of tetracyclic diterpenoids derived from gibberellinic acid. Gibberellins are widely present in higher plants as endogenous growth regulators, playing a regulatory role in physiological processes such as plant growth and flower development. Both gibberellin and natural rubber biosynthesis originate from the mevalonic acid (MVA) pathway in the cytoplasm and the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway in the plastids. Studies have shown that GA3 and choline chloride (CCC), an inhibitor of gibberellin biosynthesis, both inhibit flowering in rubber trees and reduce nutrient accumulation in inflorescences and leaves.

[0003] The DELLA protein, a core negative regulator of the gibberellin signaling pathway, plays a crucial role in plant hormone signal transduction and growth and development regulation. Belonging to the GAI-RGA-and-SCR (GRAS) family, the DELLA protein exhibits highly conserved structural features. The N-terminal DELLA and TVHYNP domains are key regions for recognition and binding to the GA receptor GIBBERELLIN-INSENSITIVE DWARF1 (GID1). Mutations in these two domains affect the protein's binding energy to the gibberellin receptor GID1. The GRAS domain, located at the C-terminus, consists of two leucine repeat sequences (LHRⅠ and LHRⅡ) and three conserved sequences: VHIID, PFYRE, and SAW. The DELLA protein is a core element of the gibberellin signaling pathway, participating in the regulation of flowering and secondary metabolism. In the presence of gibberellin, its receptor GID1 binds to the DELLA protein, triggering polyubiquitination degradation mediated by the SCFSLY1 / GID2 ubiquitin E3 ligase, thus relieving growth inhibition. DELLAs interact with FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) and enhance the transcriptional repression capacity of FLC. DELLA proteins are plant-specific transcriptional centers that integrate environmental and endogenous signals and are negative regulators of the gibberellin response pathway in angiosperms. Therefore, research on DELLA genes in rubber trees can identify a "regulator" for transcription factor genes involved in the regulation of secondary metabolism in rubber trees.

The correctly sequenced positive clones were stored at -80℃ for later use using the cryopreservation method. The plasmid that was correctly sequenced was named HbDELLA3-BD.

[0031] Example 2: Expression analysis of HbDELLA3 in rubber tree tissue culture seedlings after treatment with different hormones and hydrogen peroxide

[0032] Spraying the leaves of rubber trees or seedlings with uniform growth with 2mM gibberellin solution, 100 μM methyl jasmonate solution, 2mM salicylic acid (SA) solution, and 2% (VV) H2O2, respectively, collected materials at 0, 0.5, 2, 6, 12, and 24 h after spraying, and used real-time quantitative PCR to detect the expression of HbDELLA3 in rubber trees or seedlings after different hormone treatments.

[0033] The following primers for quantitative real-time PCR detection were designed based on the HbDELLA3 gene sequence:

After amplification, melting curves were plotted, with the temperature gradually increased from 50 ℃ to 95 ℃ at a rate of 0.2 ℃ / s. Fluorescence signals were detected throughout the process. The expression level of the HbDELLA3 gene was calculated using the formula Qt=2. -Ct(HbACTIN)-Ct(HbDELLA3) The calculation is performed, where Ct represents the number of cycles required for the fluorescence signal in each reaction tube to reach the set threshold.

[0039] Quantitative real-time PCR results showed that HbDELLA3 responded to treatment with methyl jasmonate, gibberellin, and salicylic acid. Furthermore, HbDELLA3 expression was upregulated in response to hydrogen peroxide treatment; results are shown below. Figure 1 .

The amplified product was obtained. pGADT7 was then digested with EcoRI and BamHI restriction endonucleases to obtain a linearized vector. The amplified product was constructed into the pGADT7 linearized vector using homologous recombination to obtain the pGADT7-HbDELLA3 vector.

[0042] Construction of the pGBKT7-HbbHLH48 vector: Using the gene plasmid with GenBank accession number PQ303617 as a template, and primers HbbHLH48-EcoRI-BD-F: 5′- atggccatggaggcc gaattc ATGGAGTCACCCGCTGGAC -3′ (underlined is the EcoRI restriction site) and HbbHLH48-BamHI-BD-R: 5′-ccgctgcaggtcgac ggatccTCATAGCTCCATTTTCAAGTGATTCG -3′ (underlined is the BamHI restriction site), PCR amplification was performed using Phanta Max Super-Fidelity DNA Polymerase (Nanjing Novizan Biotechnology Co., Ltd.). The 50 μL reaction mixture consisted of 1 μL Phanta Max Super-Fidelity DNA Polymerase, 25 μL 2×Phanta Max Buffer, 1 μL dNTPMix, 2 μL HbbHLH48-BamHI-BD-R, 2 μL HbbHLH48-EcoRI-BD-F, 2 μL cDNA, and 17 μL ddH2O. The reaction program was 94 ℃ for 3 min; 94 ℃ for 30 s, 58 ℃ for 50 s, 72 ℃ for 2 min, for 35 cycles; 72 ℃ for 10 min. The amplified product was obtained. pGBKT7 was double-digested with EcoRI and BamHI restriction endonucleases to obtain a linearized vector. The amplification product was then incorporated into the pGBKT7 linearized vector using homologous recombination to obtain the pGBKT7-HbbHLH48 vector.

[0043] Experimental group: pGBKT7-HbbHLH48 and pGADT7-HbDELLA3 were co-transformed into yeast strain Y2H;

[0044] Negative control group: pGADT7-T and pGBKT7-Lam were co-transformed into yeast strain Y2H;

[0045] Blank control group 1: yeast strain Y2H was co-transformed with pGBKT7 and pGADT7-HbDELLA3;

[0046] Blank control group 2: yeast strain Y2H was co-transformed with pGBKT7-HbbHLH48 and pGADT7;

[0047] Positive control group: pGADT7-T and pGBKT7-53 were co-transformed into yeast strain Y2H.

[0048] 1 μg of pGBKT7-HbbHLH48 and pGADT7-HbDELLA3 were transformed into competent yeast cells. The negative control combination pGADT7-T / pGBKT7-Lam, the blank control combinations pGBKT7 / pGADT7-HbDELLA3 and pGBKT7-HbbHLH48 / pGADT7, and the positive control combination pGADT7-T / pGBKT7-53 were also transformed into competent yeast cells. 10 μL of the transformed recombinant strain was diluted 1:10, 1:100, and 1:1000, and then spotted onto SD / -Trp / -Leu and SD / -Trp / -Leu / -His / -Ade+X-α-Gal agar plates, respectively. The plates were inverted and incubated at 30°C for 2-4 days.

[0049] See results Figure 2 The results showed that all combinations grew normally on SD / -Trp / -Leu plates; the co-transformed group pGBKT7-HbbHLH48 / pGADT7-HbDELLA3 and the positive control group pGADT7-T / pGBKT7-Lam yeast cells could all grow on SD / -Trp / -Leu / -His / -Ade+X-α-Gal plates, while the blank control group pGBKT7 / pGADT7-HbDELLA3, pGBKT7-HbbHLH48 / pGADT7, and the negative control pGADT7-T / pGBKT7-53 could not grow normally in SD / -Trp / -Leu / -His / -Ade+X-α-Gal plates, proving that HbbHLH48 and HbDELLA3 proteins directly interact and combine to form a complete complex. This complex catalyzes the conversion of x-α-gal, and therefore grows normally in SD / -Trp / -Leu / -His / -Ade+X-α-Gal plate medium.

[0051] Construction of the HbDELLA3-pYES2 vector: Using the HbDELLA3 plasmid prepared in Example 1 as a template, and primers HbDELLA3-HindIII-pYES2-F: 5′-actatagggaatatt aagctt ATGAAAAGGGAACACCCGAAT -3′ (underlined is the HindIII restriction site) and HbDELLA3-XhoI-pYES2-R: 5′-ccctctagatgcatg ctcgagCTGCTTGTTGGCCAGCCG -3′ (underlined is the XhoI restriction site) was amplified by PCR using Phanta Max Super-Fidelity DNA Polymerase (Nanjing Novizan Biotechnology Co., Ltd.). The 50 μL reaction mixture consisted of 1 μL Phanta Max Super-Fidelity DNA Polymerase, 25 μL 2×Phanta Max Buffer, 1 μL dNTP Mix, 2 μL HbDELLA3-EcoRI-BD-F, 2 μL HbDELLA3-BamHI-BD-R, 2 μL cDNA, and 17 μL ddH2O.

The yeast expression vector pYES2 was linearized by double digestion with HindIII and XhoI restriction endonucleases. The amplification product was then incorporated into the linearized pYES2 vector using homologous recombination to obtain the HbDELLA3-pYES2 vector.

[0052] Construction of the HbbHLH48-pYES2 vector: Using the gene plasmid with GenBank accession number PQ303617 as a template, and primers HbbHLH48-HindIII-pYES2-F: 5′-actatagggaatatt aagctt ATGGAGTCACCCGCTGGAC -3′ (underlined is the HindIII restriction site) and HbbHLH48-XhoI-pYES2-R: 5′-ccctctagatgcatg ctcgagTCATAGCTCCATTTTCAAGTGATTCG -3′ (underlined is the XhoI restriction site), PCR amplification was performed using Phanta Max Super-Fidelity DNA Polymerase (Nanjing Novizan Biotechnology Co., Ltd.). The 50 μL reaction mixture consisted of 1 μL Phanta Max Super-Fidelity DNA Polymerase, 25 μL 2×Phanta Max Buffer, 1 μL dNTP Mix, 2 μL HbbHLH48-HindIII-pYES2-F, 2 μL HbbHLH48-XhoI-pYES2-R, 2 μL cDNA, and 17 μL ddH2O. The reaction program was 94 ℃ for 3 min; 94 ℃ for 30 s, 58 ℃ for 50 s, 72 ℃ for 2 min, 35 cycles; 72 ℃ for 10 min. The amplified product was obtained. The yeast expression vector pYES2 was linearized by double digestion with HindIII and XhoI restriction endonucleases. The amplification product was then incorporated into the linearized pYES2 vector using homologous recombination to obtain the HbbHLH48-pYES2 vector.

[0053] Experimental group 1: HbbHLH48-pYES2 transformed yeast strain INVSC1;

[0054] Experimental group 2: HbDELLA3-pYES2 transformed yeast strain INVSC1;

[0055] Experimental group 3: HbbHLH48-pYES2 and HbDELLA3-pYES2 were co-transformed into yeast strain INVSC1.

[0056] Experimental groups 1, 2, and 3 were transformed into competent yeast cells, and positive clones were selected and inoculated into liquid selective medium. Cells were collected by centrifugation and induced to express expression using liquid induction medium (SC-Ura-2% galactose). After induction, cells were collected by centrifugation and treated with 15% PEG-6000 and 3 mM H2O2 solutions for 24 h, respectively. Cells were collected by centrifugation after treatment, resuspended in sterile water, and the OD600 of the bacterial solution was precisely adjusted to 0.2 for a 10-fold serial dilution. 8 μL of each serial dilution was spotted onto SC-Ura-2% glucose agar plates. Each treatment was repeated three times. Cells were observed after incubation at 30°C for 2-3 days.

[0057] See results Figure 3The results showed that after treatment with 15% PEG and 3mM H2O2, the survival rate of yeast expressing HbDELLA4 and HbbHLH48 (experimental group 2) was higher than that of HbbHLH48 (experimental group 1) and HbDELLA3 (experimental group 2), indicating that the interaction between HbDELLA4 and HbbHLH48 significantly enhanced the yeast's resistance to osmotic stress (15% PEG6000) and oxidative stress (3mM H2O2). This suggests that HbDELLA3 can enhance the resistance of HbbHLH48 to osmotic and oxidative stress.
