Whole genome identification and tissue expression of CesA gene family in Eucalyptus urophylla × Eucalyptus grandis

  • 摘要: 【目的】 对尾巨桉CesA基因家族进行全基因组鉴定并分析其组织表达模式,挖掘在茎中高度表达的候选基因,为解析该家族的功能和调控机制及尾巨桉纤维品质改良提供理论依据。【方法】 基于尾巨桉全基因组数据,鉴定尾巨桉CesA基因家族成员并进行基因结构、染色体定位和共线性分析,预测其编码蛋白理化性质、亚细胞定位、保守基序、保守结构域、二级结构和三级结构并进行系统发育分析。利用实时荧光定量PCR检测尾巨桉CesA基因家族成员在速生期尾巨桉芽、叶、茎、根中的相对表达量。【结果】 共鉴定出15个尾巨桉CesA基因家族成员,按照其在染色体上的位置分别命名为EuCesA1~EuCesA15。15个EuCesAs蛋白的分子量为8027.03~123688.28 Da,理论等电点为4.67~9.95,多为不稳定的亲水蛋白。15个EuCesAs蛋白多定位于叶绿体,二级结构以无规则卷曲和α-螺旋为主。15个EuCesAs基因不均匀分布于8条染色体上,4对基因(EuCesA2EuCesA3EuCesA4EuCesA9EuCesA5EuCesA10EuCesA8EuCesA13)存在共线性关系。根据系统发育分析可将15个EuCesAs蛋白分为a组和b组,二者的保守基序数量和位置差异较大且所含保守结构域不同。实时荧光定量PCR检测结果表明,大部分EuCesAs基因表达具有组织特异性,其中 EuCesA2、EuCesA3、EuCesA7基因在茎中的相对表达量均显著高于芽(P<0.05),且EuCesA2基因在茎和根中高度表达。【结论】 鉴定出15个尾巨桉CesA基因家族成员,其中EuCesA2基因在茎中高度表达,推测其参与尾巨桉初生壁纤维素合成和韧皮纤维细胞壁加厚过程,从而影响木材纤维素含量和生物质转化效率。

     

    Abstract: 【Objective】 To identify whole genome of Eucalyptus urophylla × Eucalyptus grandis CesA gene family and analyze its expression pattern, and to explore candidate genes with high expression in the stem, which could provide theoretical reference for exploring the function and regulatory mechanism of this family and improving fiber quality of Eucalyptus urophylla × Eucalyptus grandis.【Method】 Based on whole genome of Eucalyptus urophylla × Eucalyptus grandis, CesA gene family members of Eucalyptus urophylla × Eucalyptus grandis were identified, and gene structure, chromosome localization, and collinearity were analyzed, the physicochemical properties, subcellular localization, conserved domains, secondary structure, tertiary structure, and phylogenetic analysis were conducted. The relative expression of Eucalyptus urophylla × Eucalyptus grandis CesA gene family members in different buds, leaves, stems, and roots were detected using real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR.【Result】 A total of 15 CesA gene family members in Eucalyptus urophylla × Eucalyptus grandis were identified, and named EuCesA1-EuCesA15 according to their chromosome localization. The molecular weights of the 15 EuCesAs proteins ranged from 8027.03 to 123688.28 Da, and their theoretical isoelectric points ranged from 4.67 to 9.95. Most of them were unstable hydrophilic proteins. The 15 EuCesAs proteins were mostly located in the chloroplasts, and their secondary structures were mainly characterized by random coiling and α-helix. The 15 EuCesAs genes were unevenly distributed on 8 chromosomes, and 4 pairs of genes (EuCesA2 and EuCesA3EuCesA4 and EuCesA9EuCesA5 and EuCesA10EuCesA8 and EuCesA13) had collinear relationship. Based on the phylogenetic analysis, the 15 EuCesAs proteins could be divided into group a and group b. The number and position of their conserved motifs were quite different, and the conserved domains they contained were also different. The results of real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR indicated that expression of most EuCesAs genes had tissue specificity. Among them, the relative expression of EuCesA2EuCesA3, and EuCesA7 genes in the stem were significantly higher than those in the bud (P<0.05), and EuCesA2 gene was highly expressed in both stem and root.【Conclusion】 The 15 selected members of CesA gene family in Eucalyptus urophylla × Eucalyptus grandis undergo a certain degree of differentiation, among them, EuCesA2 gene is expressed in the stem. It is speculated that it is involved in the synthesis of primary wall cellulose in young eucalyptus stems and the thickening of phloem fiber cell walls, thereby affecting cellulose content in wood and efficiency of biomass conversion.
