黄梁木NcTWD1基因的克隆及功能分析

Cloning and functional analysis of NcTWD1 in Neolamarckia cadamba (Roxb.) Bosser

  • 摘要: 生长素是调控植物生长发育的重要激素,TWD1(Twisted dwarf 1)介导生长素转运蛋白在分泌途径中的折叠。本研究利用生物信息学和分子生物学手段从黄梁木(Neolamarckia cadamba (Roxb.) Bosser)中鉴定并克隆了一个与拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh.)AtTWD1同源的基因,将其命名为NcTWD1。分析结果显示,NcTWD1编码序列长度为1 098 bp,编码365个氨基酸。NcTWD1和AtTWD1蛋白质三维空间结构相似,均含有FKBP结构域、TRP结构域和C端膜锚定结构域。RT-qPCR分析结果表明,NcTWD1在黄梁木的根、茎、芽尖、嫩叶、老叶、叶柄和幼苗中均有表达。亚细胞定位分析结果显示NcTWD1主要定位于内质网。本研究进一步构建过表达载体,发现在拟南芥twd1-4突变体中异源过量表达NcTWD1能够恢复其矮小卷曲的表型。利用免疫共沉淀技术分析,发现黄梁木NcTWD1与生长素转运蛋白NcABCB1存在相互作用,表明NcTWD1在黄梁木中具有和拟南芥AtTWD1相似的生物学功能。

     

    Abstract: Auxin is a key phytohormone that orchestrates diverse processes in plant growth and development. Twisted dwarf 1 (TWD1) is known to facilitate the folding and functional maturation of auxin transporter proteins within the secretory pathway. In this study, a homolog of Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh AtTWD1 was identified and cloned from Neolamarckia cadamba (Roxb.) Bosser using integrated bioinformatics and molecular approaches, designated NcTWD1. Results indicated that the NcTWD1 sequence was 1 098 bp in length, encoding a 365-amino acid protein. Structural modeling indicated that NcTWD1 and AtTWD1 share highly similar tertiary conformations, each containing an FKBP domain, a TRP domain, and a C-terminal membrane-anchoring domain. RT-qPCR analysis demonstrated that NcTWD1 is expressed across multiple tissues, including roots, stems, shoot tips, young leaves, mature leaves, petioles, and seedlings. Subcellular localization revealed predominant accumulation of NcTWD1 within the endoplasmic reticulum. Overexpression of NcTWD1 in the A. thaliana twd1-4 mutant rescued its characteristic dwarf and twisted phenotypes. Co-immunoprecipitation assays further confirmed a physical interaction between NcTWD1 and the auxin transporter NcABCB1 in N. cadamba, indicating that NcTWD1 likely performs a conserved regulatory role analogous to AtTWD1 in A. thaliana.
