This invention discloses a small basic membrane intrinsic
protein TtSIP1;2 of mitochondrial
aquaporin and its encoding
gene. TtSIP1; 2 Its cDNA
reading frame sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.2, and the encoded
amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.1. This invention... TtSIP1;2 The
gene-encoded
protein TtSIP1;2 is associated with the tolerance of
Saccharomyces cerevisiae to high salt, high
osmotic pressure (simulated drought), high temperature, and H2O2 (
oxidative stress). TtSIP1;2 The
gene can enhance
yeast's tolerance to various abiotic stresses, improve its
survival rate under stress, and promote
yeast vitality. Overexpression of this gene in
Arabidopsis thaliana can improve the salt and
drought tolerance of transgenic plants. This invention... TtSIP1;2 Genes can be applied to the genetic improvement of stress tolerance in engineered
bacteria and plants, and can be used to cultivate transgenic engineered
bacteria or
plant varieties with improved tolerance to high salt, drought, high temperature and
oxidative stress.
