  • To explore the role of sucrose non-fermentation associated protein kinase 2 (SnRK2) in the response of Hevea brasiliensis to low temperature stress, a member of the SnRK2 subfamily, named HbSnRK2.7, was cloned from the leaves of the cold-resistant clone Reyan ‘93-114’ of Hevea brasiliensis by using RT-PCR. The gene cloned contains an open reading frame of 1 095 bp that encodes a protein of 364 amino acids. HbSnRK2.7 has a conserved serine/threonine protein kinase domain with a molecular weight of 41.39 kD and an isoelectric point of 4.70. It is predicted that it can catalyze the transfer of phosphate groups from ATP to the serine/threonine residues on the protein substrate, which is also the concentrated region of phosphorylation sites. It also has domains needed for abiotic stress and ABA-dependent domains for HbSnRK2.7 activation. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) results showed that HbSnRK2.7 gene was down-regulated in response to ABA induction. When treated with ABA for 8 h, the expression was down-regulated to the lowest point. Under low temperature stress, the expression of HbSnRK2.7 decreased significantly. The expression of HbSnRK2.7 was down-regulated continuously under low temperature stress for 4 h and 8 h, and the expression of HbSnRK2.7 was down-regulated to the lowest level at 24 h under low temperature stress, which was about 1/2 of non-stress expression. Moreover, the expression of HbSnRK2.7 was significantly higher in the cold-susceptible clones than in the cold-resistant clones. These results suggest that HbSnRK2.7 may act as a negative regulatory factor to mediate the formation of low temperature stress resistance of Hevea brasiliensis dependent on ABA.

  • 脱落酸(abscisic acid, ABA)是一种经典植物激素,在植物应对干旱、高盐和低温等非生物胁迫中起重要的调节作用。植物遭遇低温、干旱和高盐等逆境胁迫时,内源ABA迅速积累,应对环境胁迫的压力[1-2]。ABA诱导细胞中分子伴侣、LEA蛋白、防冻蛋白、糖、脯氨酸等保护剂的积累,或激活解毒机制,调节氧化还原平衡或改变离子转运来重建稳态,从而增强植物非生物胁迫的耐受性[3]。此外,ABA还调节植物种子成熟、种子休眠和萌发、营养发育、幼苗建立、根生长、开花、气孔运动和衰老等各方面的生长发育[4]

    人们对ABA信号传导途径已经有了较深入的了解。在高等植物逆境胁迫时,ABA含量增加,结合于受体PYR/PYL/RCAR蛋白内腔的配体结合位点,诱导受体蛋白的构象变化,ABA被封闭在受体蛋白内,重塑了受体蛋白的表面,为磷酸酶PP2Cs提供相互作用的结合位点,形成PYR/PYL/RCAR-ABA-PP2C复合物,从而阻断了底物进入PP2Cs的活性位点[5-7]。PP2Cs是ABA信号通路的负调节因子,可阻止ABA信号的传递,降低了植物对环境胁迫的耐受性[8-9]。PP2Cs与ABA受体的互作,增强了PYR/PYL/RCARs与ABA的结合力,其亲和力增加了大约10倍[10-11],从而减弱PP2C对下游蔗糖非发酵相关蛋白激酶2(Sucrose non-fermentating1-related protein kinase 2,SnRK2)的抑制作用[5-7]。一些没有与ABA结合的PYR/PYL/RCARs也可以自由与PP2Cs相互作用,但外源性ABA显著增强受体对PP2C活性的抑制作用[12]。在ABA信号转导途径中,SnRK2s是一个重要环节,能够磷酸化下游的转录因子和其他蛋白,从而调控植物的逆境反应。拟南芥有38个SnRKs,分为SnRK1、SnRK2和SnRK3三个亚家族[13],其中,SnRK2家族有10个成员。SnRK2s通过磷酸化bZIP23,介导干旱胁迫反应[14];通过磷酸化ABI5,介导ABA调控种子萌发[15];通过磷酸化ICE1,介导ABA调控抗寒性的形成[16]。低温胁迫下,拟南芥内源ABA含量增加,SnRK2.6/OST1被激活,从而磷酸化下游ICE1,增强它的转录活性和稳定性,提高了植株的抗寒性[16]。又因为JA也调节ICE1的转录[17],所以SnRK2.6/OST1在ABA和JA信号途径交互调控植物的ICE-CBF途径中起重要作用。

    巴西橡胶树(Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg.)(简称橡胶树)原产南美洲亚马逊河流域,是商业用天然橡胶的主要来源。我国的橡胶树种植区位于世界热带北缘,经常性遭遇的寒流是我国发展橡胶树种植业面临的一种主要的非生物逆境。所以选育“高产抗寒”品种一直是我国橡胶树育种的首要目标。通过60余年的杂交育种,选育出一批抗寒性强的橡胶树品种,为研究橡胶树低温胁迫抗性形成机制提供了优良材料。橡胶树无性系‘93-114’是我国自主选育的次生代抗寒品种,尤其是抗平流型寒害的能力强。笔者从橡胶树无性系‘93-114’的叶片中分离到一个SnRK2基因家族的一个成员—HbSnRK2.7。为了探索蛋白激酶基因HbSnRK2.7在巴西橡胶树应对低温胁迫反应中的作用,采用q-PCR技术,分析了该基因在外源ABA处理和低温胁迫下的表达模式,以及不同抗寒性种质间的表达差异,旨在为进一步鉴定 HbSnRK2.7的功能提供理论依据。

    • HbSnRK2.7阅读框的两端设计引物,通过RT-PCR技术及核苷酸测序技术,以橡胶树‘93-114’的cDNA为模板,克隆了HbSnRK2.7基因的完整阅读框(图1)。HbSnRK2.7包含364个氨基酸,预测的分子量和等电点分别为41.39 kD和4.70。HbSnRK2.7与拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana L Heynh.)AtSnRK2.2AtSnRK2.3、黄瓜(Cucumis sativus L.)CsSnRK2.2、葡萄(Vitis vinifera L)VvSnRK2.3的核苷酸序列的同源性分别为73.39%、74.98%、80.87%和77.99%。HbSnRK2.7氨基酸序列与黄瓜CsSnRK2.2、葡萄VvSnRK2.3、蓖麻(Ricinus communis L)RcSnRK2.2、玉米(Zea mays L)ZmSnRK2.2的氨基酸序列同源性分别为90.96%, 84.07%, 65.11%和67.58%。虽然氨基酸序列同源性有一定差异,但是它们具有保守的丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶结构域(结构域Ⅰ),可催化磷酸基从ATP转移到蛋白质底物上的丝氨酸/苏氨酸残基上(图2)。另外,它们都有结构域Ⅱ、结构域Ⅲ和结构域Ⅳ。结构域Ⅱ是HbSnRK2.7响应非生物胁迫所需的结构域;结构域Ⅲ紧挨结构域Ⅱ,位于蛋白的C端,是ABA依赖的HbSnRK2.7激活所需结构域;结构域Ⅳ位于结构域Ⅰ内,HbSnRK2.7蛋白的N端,是与ATP结合的保守结构域(图2)。结构域的保守性表明它们可能具有相似的生物学功能。通过NetPhos 3.1软件分析HbSnRK2.7的磷酸化位点,结果显示HbSnRK2.7含有13个丝氨酸、5个苏氨酸和4个酪氨酸磷酸化位点,大部分磷酸化位点集中在丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶结构域(图2)。聚类结果显示,橡胶树HbSnRK2.7与拟南芥AtSnRK2.2、AtSnRK2.3、黄瓜CsSnRK2.2、葡萄VvSnRK2.3等属于SnRK2亚家族的第Ⅲ组(图3)。

    • ABA处理下,抗寒橡胶树‘93-114’树皮中的HbSnRK2.7基因呈下调表达趋势。在ABA处理2 h时,HbSnRK2.7的表达量稍微变动,没有显著差异。处理4 h时,HbSnRK2.7已极显著下调表达,在处理8 h时,表达量下调到最低点。在处理12 h和24 h时,HbSnRK2.7表达量稍微上调且趋于稳定,但是其表达量仍显著低于ABA处理0 h时的表达量。低温胁迫下,HbSnRK2.7基因在橡胶树‘93-114’中的表达呈下调趋势。在低温胁迫2 h时,HbSnRK2.7的表达量极显著降低。低温胁迫4 h和8 h时,HbSnRK2.7继续下调表达,在低温胁迫12 h时,表达量上调,但极显著低于低温胁迫0 h的表达量。低温胁迫24 h时,HbSnRK2.7表达量下调到最低,是低温胁迫0 h的表达量的1/2(图4)。

    • 橡胶树HbSnRK2.7在不抗寒种质‘热垦515’中的本底表达最高,在抗寒种质‘桂研73-165’中的本底表达最低。在不抗寒种质‘PB235’、‘热垦514’、‘热垦515’、‘海垦1’和‘热垦501’中的整体表达量显著高于抗寒种质‘桂研73-165’、‘GT1’、‘INA873’、‘湛试32-713’和‘93-114’中的表达量(图5)。

    • 本研究利用RT-PCR技术从橡胶树‘93-114’中分离鉴定了丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶HbSnRK2.7基因,橡胶树HbSnRK2.7基因与草本植物拟南芥AtSnRK2.2AtSnRK2.3、黄瓜CsSnRK2.2、木本植物葡萄VvSnRK2.3的同源性较高,核苷酸序列的一致性在73%以上,氨基酸序列的一致性在65%以上。它们具有共同的保守丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶催化结构域[22-24],同源性比较高,该结构域是SnRK2蛋白磷酸化功能的核心催化中心,其中包含ATP结合结构域,可催化磷酸基从ATP转移到蛋白质底物上的丝氨酸/苏氨酸残基上,使底物磷酸化[25]。SnRK2s参与了植物对非生物胁迫和脱落酸(ABA)依赖的植物发育的响应。SnRK2亚家族分为3个组:组Ⅰ中的蛋白激酶是不被ABA激活的;组Ⅱ中的蛋白激酶不被ABA激活或被ABA微弱激活,取决于植物种类;组Ⅲ中的蛋白激酶强烈响应ABA诱导[22]HbSnRK2.7属于丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶家族的SnRK2亚家族的组Ⅲ成员,具有ABA激活所需结构域,推测HbSnRK2.7能够响应ABA的刺激反应。另外,HbSnRK2.7还具有响应非生物胁迫所需的结构域,推测HbSnRK2.7能够响应非生物胁迫反应。磷酸化位点主要集中在HbSnRK2.7的丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶催化结构域,磷酸化/去磷酸化调控了HbSnRK2.7对底物的磷酸化活性。

      植物在遭受干旱、低温、高盐等环境胁迫时,其内源激素ABA迅速合成和积累,在植物应对环境胁迫中起着重要作用[1-2]。SnRK2s蛋白激酶是ABA信号途径的关键环节,介导依赖ABA的非生物胁迫反应[26-27]。拟南芥AtSnRK2.2AtSnRK2.3响应ABA刺激反应,呈下调表达趋势[28-30]HbSnRK2.7与黄瓜CsSnRK2.2核苷酸序列的同源性为80.87%,CsSnRK2.2响应ABA诱导下调表达[23]HbSnRK2.7与葡萄VvSnRK2.1核苷酸序列的同源性为75.08%,VvSnRK2.1同样响应ABA诱导下调表达[31]HbSnRK2.7与拟南芥AtSnRK2.2AtSnRK2.3、黄瓜CsSnRK2.2、葡萄VvSnRK2.1的表达模式一致,受ABA诱导下调表达。推测HbSnRK2.7可能在ABA信号转导途径中起着负调控的作用。然而与HbSnRK2.7同属于亚家族Ⅲ的水稻SAPK8SAPK9SAPK10受ABA诱导上调表达[32],暗示即使同一亚家族的成员,在不同的物种对于ABA刺激的响应也存在差异。

      SnRK2s是ABA信号途径的重要环节,参与植物低温胁迫反应[33]。拟南芥AtSnRK2.6受低温胁迫上调表达,激活的AtSnRK2.6磷酸化ICEs,干扰了E3连接酶HOS1与ICEs的互作,从而抑制了ICEs经26S蛋白酶体的降解,增强其稳定性和转录活性,提高植物的抗寒性[16]。橡胶树HbSnRK2.6A/B/C受ABA和低温诱导上调表达,且通过调控抗寒关键因子HbICE2的转录活性,参与ABA调控橡胶树响应低温胁迫[34]。本研究克隆的橡胶树HbSnRK2.7对ABA处理和低温胁迫的响应与HbSnRK2.6s相反,该基因既在ABA处理下显著下调表达,又受低温胁迫显著下调表达,而且在不抗寒种质中的表达量显著高于抗寒种质,表明橡胶树HbSnRK2.7可能作为负调控因子,介导ABA依赖的橡胶树低温胁迫抗性的形成。与HbSnRK2.7同源性比较高的玉米ZmSnRK2.2[35]、葡萄VvSnRK2.1VvSnRK2.3 [36]在低温胁迫下呈下调表达模式。鹅掌楸(Liriodendron chinense)SnRK2家族2个成员(Lchi00543Lchi01348)受ABA和低温诱导同样下调表达[37]HbSnRK2.7类似的基因都是对应物种SnRK2家族的极少数成员,与其他受ABA和低温正向调控的多数成员不同[38]。因此,这些基因可能作为负调控因子在植物响应低温胁迫中起着特殊的作用。
