Abstract: 【Objective】 Homologous structural domain-leucine zip (HD-Zip) transcription factors are involved in a variety of plant abiotic stress response processes. However, the HD-Zip I gene family has not been identified in loquat. 【Methods】 A genome-wide identification and analysis of the loquat HD-Zip Ⅰ transcription factor were carried out using bioinformatic methods for identification. The expression patterns of HD-Zip I family members in different tissues and by various drought treatments were examined by qPCR. 【Results】 A total of 20 putative loquat HD-Zip I family members were identified by searching the Big Seven Stars loquat genome database. The HD-Zip I members were further named EjHB1-EjHB20 according to their positions on 10 different chromosomes. We performed covariance analysis within the loquat genome and found 25 duplicate gene pairs in the HD-Zip I family, including 3 tandem duplicate gene pairs and 22 fragment duplicate gene pairs. The nucleotide sequence identity of the HD-Zip I duplicate pairs ranged from 42.04% to 93.71%, and the Ka/Ks ratios ranged from 0.08 to 0.43. To further investigate the phylogenetic relationships among HD-Zip I family members in different plant species, phylogenetic trees were constructed for HD-Zip I protein sequences in loquat, apple, Arabidopsis thaliana and rice. The HD-Zip I proteins were classified into nine clades, namely α, β1, β2, γ, δ, ε, φ1, φ2 and ζ. Among them, the φ1 and ζ clades contained only the family members of Arabidopsis thaliana and rice, respectively, and were not clustered with the HD-Zip I genes of apple and loquat. The members of the loquat HD-Zip I clades clustered closer to the apple homologues and further away from the rice homologues. In addition, loquat, apple, Arabidopsis and rice had the most members in the α clade, followed by the γ clade. Multiple sequence comparison of 20 loquat HD-Zip I proteins using DNAMAN software revealed that all HD-Zip I proteins had HD and Zip conserved structural domains. To further investigate the relationship between loquat HD-Zip I proteins, we constructed a phylogenetic tree of all loquat HD-Zip I protein sequences and analysed their gene structures and motifs. Similar to the results of the phylogenetic analysis described above, the loquat HD-Zip I gene family was divided into seven clades: α, β1, β2, γ, δ, ε and φ2. Since the intron-exon structure of genes played a crucial role in the evolution of multigene families, we examined the intron-exon structures of 20 loquat HD-Zip I genes to better understand their structural evolution. The γ clade members had one intron, the β1 clade members had three introns, and the other branch members contained two introns. Combined with phylogenetic analysis, we found that genes in the same branch had similar intron-exon structures, whereas the intron-exon structures of different branches differed. To gain insight into the differences and functions of the loquat HD-Zip I protein, we used the MEME programme to identify its motifs. We identified 10 motifs ranging from 20 to 50 residues in length. All predicted motifs were identified only once in each HD-Zip I protein. Except for motif 1, which was present in all HD-Zip I proteins, the remaining nine motifs were only present in certain branches. Tissue expression analysis showed that HD-Zip Ⅰ was found in loquat roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits. The results showed that EjHB3, EjHB6, EjHB8, EjHB15 and EjHB20 were mainly expressed in leaves, and EjHB9, EjHB16 and EjHB18 were mainly expressed in roots. Most members had high expression levels in stems and low expression levels in fruits. In addition, EjHB11, EjHB12 and EjHB13 were expressed at higher levels in flowers than in other tissues, while other members were also generally expressed at lower levels in flowers. Cis-acting element analysis revealed that most HD-Zip I promoters contained ABRE elements, which were normally involved in ABA-related responses. And HD-Zip I promoters contained drought-inducible elements (MBS), as well as defence and stress-responsive elements (TC-rich repeats). In addition, there were a number of cis-elements associated with stress response and stress-related hormone signalling, such as MYB, MYC, SA and MeJA. The HD-Zip I family contained cis-acting elements associated with drought stress. To identify the role of HD-Zip I in the regulation of drought tolerance in loquat, we analysed the expression of 20 HD-Zip I genes under drought stress. It was shown that the expression levels of EjHB9, EjHB10, EjHB17 and EjHB18 in the γ-clade and EjHB20 in the ε-branch significantly increased after drought treatment, whereas EjHB2 and EjHB19 in the β2-branch were significantly down-regulated by drought. 【Conclusion】 In this study, 20 members of the HD-Zip I transcription factor family were identified from the complete loquat protein sequence, and promoter prediction analysis indicated that they responded to drought stress. Expression analysis after drought treatment also confirmed that loquat HD-Zip I transcription factors may play an important role in drought stress response. The present study may provide a reference for the future analysis of the mechanism of loquat HD-Zip I genes and the development of drought-resistant breeding in loquat.

干旱脅迫是最嚴(yán)重的環(huán)境限制因素之一,影響植物的地理分布和生長,極大地限制了作物的產(chǎn)量[1]。轉(zhuǎn)錄因子(TF)在植物響應(yīng)逆境脅迫過程中發(fā)揮著重要的調(diào)控作用,被認(rèn)為是作物耐旱性遺傳改良的靶標(biāo)[2-3]。同源結(jié)構(gòu)域-亮氨酸拉鏈(HD-Zip)轉(zhuǎn)錄因子是植物中所特有的,在植物逆境信號轉(zhuǎn)導(dǎo)及適應(yīng)中發(fā)揮著重要作用[4-6]。所有HD-Zip轉(zhuǎn)錄因子都含有2個結(jié)構(gòu)域,HD同源結(jié)構(gòu)域和Zip結(jié)構(gòu)域,根據(jù)其基因結(jié)構(gòu)和功能可將其分為4個亞家族[5]。很多證據(jù)表明,HD-Zip I轉(zhuǎn)錄因子廣泛參與植物對干旱脅迫的響應(yīng)[6-8],在番茄中過表達(dá)HD-Zip I轉(zhuǎn)錄因子ATHB7可提高轉(zhuǎn)基因番茄的耐旱性[9];過表達(dá)玉米HD-Zip I基因ZmHDZ4和ZmHDZ10可降低轉(zhuǎn)基因水稻的相對電導(dǎo)率(REL)和丙二醛(MDA)含量,從而提高轉(zhuǎn)基因水稻的抗旱性[10-11];此外,HD-Zip I轉(zhuǎn)錄因子ZmHDZ9通過調(diào)控脫落酸和木質(zhì)素積累來提高玉米的抗旱性[12]。
枇杷(Eriobotrya japonica)是多年生常綠小喬木,秋冬開花,初夏成熟,果實(shí)酸甜適度,風(fēng)味獨(dú)特,是中國重要的亞熱帶水果之一[13]。但枇杷根系分布淺,須根稀少,對水分要求較高,而中國的枇杷園大多建在灌溉條件差的山坡上,特別容易受干旱危害,因此,季節(jié)性干旱嚴(yán)重影響了枇杷的生長發(fā)育、果實(shí)產(chǎn)量和品質(zhì)[14-16]。目前有關(guān)枇杷耐旱性的研究相對較少,且針對枇杷HD-Zip I轉(zhuǎn)錄因子的系統(tǒng)研究更是鮮見報道。鑒于HD-Zip I轉(zhuǎn)錄因子在植物中的重要意義,筆者在本研究中利用Jiang等[17]發(fā)布的大七星枇杷參考基因組,對枇杷HD-Zip I轉(zhuǎn)錄因子家族的基因結(jié)構(gòu)、蛋白結(jié)構(gòu)域、共線性關(guān)系及系統(tǒng)發(fā)育進(jìn)行分析,并通過qPCR檢測該家族成員在不同組織中及干旱處理下的表達(dá)模式,為進(jìn)一步研究其在干旱下的生理功能與作用機(jī)制奠定基礎(chǔ),從而為開展枇杷抗旱基因工程育種提供參考。

利用DNAMAN軟件對枇杷HD-Zip I家族成員的氨基酸序列進(jìn)行多序列比對。利用在線Gene Structure Display Server(GSDS,http://gsds.cbi.pku.edu.ch)程序構(gòu)建HD-Zip I基因家族的外顯子-內(nèi)含子的結(jié)構(gòu)。利用MEME程序(http://meme-suite.org/tools/meme)預(yù)測出枇杷HD-Zip I蛋白的保守基序(Motif),最優(yōu)基序?qū)挾仍O(shè)置為6~50個氨基酸,程序設(shè)置為搜索10個Motif。
1.5 共線性和系統(tǒng)發(fā)育分析
使用MCScanX對HD-Zip I家族成員進(jìn)行共線性分析,并使用TBtools對HD-Zip I基因的共線性關(guān)系進(jìn)行可視化[18-19]。利用TBtools軟件計算Ks(同義替換率)和Ka(非同義替代率)。使用鄰接法在MEGA 10版本中構(gòu)建系統(tǒng)發(fā)育樹,bootstrap值1000。
1.6 啟動子中的順式作用元件分析
為了檢測枇杷HD-Zip I基因啟動子中可能存在的順式作用元件,筆者根據(jù)枇杷基因組序列下載基因起始密碼子上游2000 bp的序列。利用Plant CARE(http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be/beg/tools/plantcare)預(yù)測枇杷HD-Zip I基因啟動子中潛在的順式作用元件。
1.7 基因的表達(dá)分析
根據(jù)枇杷HD-Zip I基因的預(yù)測序列設(shè)計了特定引物(表1),用于表達(dá)分析。通過熒光實(shí)時定量PCR(qRT-PCR)方法檢測枇杷HD-Zip I基因在不同組織中和干旱處理下的表達(dá)情況,所用儀器為:Bio-Rad CFX Opus 96(Bio-Rad),qRT-PCR的反應(yīng)體系和反應(yīng)程序根據(jù)熒光實(shí)時定量染料說明書進(jìn)行設(shè)置。EjActin被用作內(nèi)源對照基因來計算目的基因的△Ct值[20]。使用2???CT方法計算相對表達(dá)量[21]。使用熔解曲線確定擴(kuò)增片段的特異性。
1.8 數(shù)據(jù)分析
使用IBM SPSS Statistics 17.0軟件中的單因素方差分析(one-way analysis of variance,ANOVA)進(jìn)行試驗(yàn)數(shù)據(jù)的統(tǒng)計分析。枇杷HD-Zip I在不同組織中的相對表達(dá)量采用Tukey多重比較分析法分析(p<0.05)。
2 結(jié)果與分析
2.1 枇杷HD-Zip I家族成員鑒定
通過對大七星枇杷基因組數(shù)據(jù)庫的搜索,共鑒定到20個假定枇杷HD-Zip I家族成員,檢測了這些候選蛋白序列中HD和Zip結(jié)合結(jié)構(gòu)域的存在和完整性,共有20個基因被確認(rèn)為HD-Zip I家族成員,并根據(jù)HD-Zip I成員在染色體上的位置對其進(jìn)行命名(表2)。HD-Zip I蛋白的長度在215~333個氨基酸(aa)之間,分子質(zhì)量在24.82~37.50 kDa之間,理論等電點(diǎn)為4.51~7.93。
2.2 枇杷HD-Zip I基因的共線性和系統(tǒng)發(fā)育分析
如圖1所示,HD-Zip I家族基因在枇杷10條染色體上隨機(jī)分布。4個HD-Zip Ⅰ家族成員位于第3條染色體上,3個HD-Zip I家族成員位于第16條染色體上,2個HD-Zip I家族成員位于第7、8、10、11和13染色體上,1個HD-Zip I家族成員位于第14、15、和17染色體上。筆者在枇杷基因組內(nèi)進(jìn)行了共線性分析,發(fā)現(xiàn)HD-Zip I家族中存在25個重復(fù)基因?qū)?,其?對串聯(lián)復(fù)制基因和22對片段復(fù)制基因(圖1)。HD-Zip I重復(fù)對的核苷酸序列一致性在38.11%~93.71%之間,Ka/Ks比值在0.08~0.43之間(表3)。這些結(jié)果表明,不同基因之間的差異主要是由純化選擇驅(qū)動的。重復(fù)對的Ks值變化范圍為0.13~2.30 (表3),表明基因?qū)蓛芍g的進(jìn)化速率不同。

為了進(jìn)一步研究不同植物物種中HD-Zip I家族成員之間的系統(tǒng)發(fā)育關(guān)系,對枇杷、蘋果、擬南芥和水稻中的HD-Zip I蛋白序列構(gòu)建了系統(tǒng)發(fā)育樹(圖2)。HD-Zip I蛋白被分為9個分支,分別是α,β1,β2,γ,δ,ε,φ1,φ2和ζ,其中φ1分支和ζ分支分別只含有擬南芥和水稻的家族成員,與蘋果、枇杷的HD-Zip I基因不聚在一起。枇杷HD-Zip I各分支成員與蘋果的同系物聚集更近,與水稻的同系物相距較遠(yuǎn)。另外,枇杷、蘋果、擬南芥和水稻在α分支的成員最多,其次是γ分支。
2.3 枇杷HD-Zip I蛋白的多重序列比對、基因結(jié)構(gòu)和Motif分析
如圖3所示,使用DNAMAN軟件對枇杷20個HD-Zip Ⅰ蛋白進(jìn)行多重序列比對,發(fā)現(xiàn)所有的HD-Zip I蛋白都具有HD和Zip保守結(jié)構(gòu)域。為了進(jìn)一步研究枇杷HD-Zip I蛋白之間的關(guān)系,構(gòu)建了所有枇杷HD-Zip Ⅰ蛋白序列的系統(tǒng)發(fā)育樹,并分析了他們的基因結(jié)構(gòu)和Motif(圖4)。與上述系統(tǒng)發(fā)育分析的結(jié)果相似,枇杷HD-Zip I基因家族被分為7個分支:α,β1,β2,γ,δ,ε和φ2(圖4-A)。由于基因的內(nèi)含子-外顯子結(jié)構(gòu)在多基因家族的進(jìn)化中起至關(guān)重要的作用[22],筆者研究了20個枇杷HD-Zip I基因的內(nèi)含子-外顯子結(jié)構(gòu),以更好地了解其結(jié)構(gòu)進(jìn)化。γ分支成員有1個內(nèi)含子,β1分支成員有3個內(nèi)含子,其他分支成員含有2個內(nèi)含子(圖4-B)。結(jié)合系統(tǒng)進(jìn)化分析,筆者發(fā)現(xiàn)同一分支的基因具有相似的內(nèi)含子-外顯子結(jié)構(gòu),而不同分支的內(nèi)含子-外顯子結(jié)構(gòu)存在差異。這一結(jié)果表明,基因結(jié)構(gòu)是枇杷HD-Zip I家族基因進(jìn)化的重要組成部分。
為了深入了解枇杷HD-Zip I蛋白的差異和功能,筆者對其Motif進(jìn)行了鑒定。筆者鑒定了10個Motif,寬度從20到50個殘基不等(表4)。所有預(yù)測的Motif在每個HD-Zip I蛋白中僅識別一次(圖4-C)。除Motif 1在所有HD-Zip I蛋白中都存在外,其余9個Motif只存在于特定的分支中。例如,Motif 4只存在于α分支中,Motif 10只存在于β1分支中。這與枇杷HD-Zip I蛋白的系統(tǒng)發(fā)育一致,表明來自同一分支的HD-Zip I具有相似的氨基酸序列和相似的Motif,暗示他們也具有相似的功能。
2.4 枇杷HD-Zip I家族成員在不同組織中的表達(dá)
為了研究HD-Zip I家族成員在枇杷不同組織中的表達(dá)模式,對HD-Zip Ⅰ在枇杷根、莖、葉、花和果實(shí)中的表達(dá)進(jìn)行分析。結(jié)果表明,EjHB3、EjHB6、EjHB8、EjHB15和EjHB20主要在葉中表達(dá),EjHB9、EjHB16和EjHB18主要在根中表達(dá)。多數(shù)成員在莖中具有較高的表達(dá)水平,在果實(shí)中具有較低的表達(dá)水平。此外,EjHB10、EjHB11、EjHB12、EjHB13、EjHB14和EjHB17在花中的表達(dá)量高于其他組織,而其他成員在花中的表達(dá)量也普遍較低(圖5)。
2.5 枇杷HD-Zip I家族成員啟動子分析和在干旱處理下的表達(dá)分析
啟動子順式調(diào)控元件對調(diào)控基因表達(dá)具有重要意義。通過PlantCARE數(shù)據(jù)庫(圖6)鑒定了HD-Zip I啟動子中推定的順式元件(從假定翻譯起始位點(diǎn)上游<2 kb),并鑒定了與脅迫和激素反應(yīng)相關(guān)的順式作用元件。大多數(shù)HD-Zip I啟動子含有ABRE元件,該元件通常參與ABA相關(guān)的反應(yīng)。啟動子中還含有干旱誘導(dǎo)元件(MBS)、防御和脅迫響應(yīng)元件(TC-rich repeats)。此外,還有許多順式元件與脅迫和脅迫相關(guān)激素信號的響應(yīng)有關(guān),如MYB、MYC、SA、MeJA。MBS和ABRE等干旱響應(yīng)相關(guān)順式元件的存在,表明HD-Zip I可能在枇杷干旱脅迫響應(yīng)中發(fā)揮重要作用。
HD-Zip I家族包含與干旱脅迫相關(guān)的順式作用元件。為了鑒定HD-Zip I在枇杷抗旱性調(diào)控中發(fā)揮的作用,筆者分析了干旱脅迫下20個HD-Zip I基因的表達(dá)情況(圖7)。研究表明,干旱處理后,γ分支的EjHB9、EjHB10、EjHB17、EjHB18和ε分支的EjHB20的表達(dá)水平大幅度升高,β2分支的EjHB2和EjHB19受干旱影響顯著下調(diào)。
3 討 論
HD-Zip I家族的鑒定和全基因組分析已經(jīng)在各種物種中進(jìn)行,并且HD-Zip I基因的數(shù)量在物種間差異顯著。在番茄[23]、梨[24]、葡萄[25]、毛竹[26]、木薯[27]、水稻[28]和小麥[29]中分別鑒定出22、18、11、17、23、14和20個HD-Zip I基因。筆者在本研究中對枇杷中的HD-Zip I基因進(jìn)行了全基因組普查,共鑒定出20個HD-Zip I家族基因,包括7個分支。與擬南芥等其他植物相比,HD-Zip I家族成員在枇杷中較為豐富。
串聯(lián)復(fù)制和片段復(fù)制是基因家族擴(kuò)張的主要機(jī)制。基因復(fù)制事件在不同物種中產(chǎn)生了許多旁系同源基因?qū)?,因此在基因家族的快速擴(kuò)張和進(jìn)化中發(fā)揮了重要作用[30]。本研究結(jié)果表明,片段重復(fù)是枇杷HD-Zip I家族擴(kuò)張的主要方式。此外,22對HD-Zip I重復(fù)對的Ka/Ks比值表明,枇杷HD-Zip I基因家族在進(jìn)化過程中主要經(jīng)歷了純化選擇。
研究表明,擬南芥中的HD-Zip I基因被劃分為8個分支(α,β1,β2,γ,δ,ε,φ1和φ2)[28],在水稻、玉米、大豆和小麥中還含有ζ分支[28-29]。在本研究中,系統(tǒng)發(fā)育分析表明,枇杷的20個HD-Zip I蛋白被分為7個分支,不含有φ1和ζ分支,表明枇杷在進(jìn)化過程中失去了這兩個分支的成員。相同的分支擁有相似的內(nèi)含子-外顯子組織結(jié)構(gòu)。結(jié)合系統(tǒng)發(fā)育樹,內(nèi)含子-外顯子結(jié)構(gòu)分析使筆者能夠進(jìn)一步區(qū)分屬于不同分支的基因。但保守基序分析發(fā)現(xiàn),β2和φ2分支中的成員的保守基序存在一定差異。
植物通過誘導(dǎo)脅迫相關(guān)基因表達(dá)來適應(yīng)環(huán)境脅迫,如干旱,許多HD-Zip I家族基因的表達(dá)已被證明受干旱脅迫調(diào)控,并在干旱脅迫響應(yīng)中扮演重要的角色[31]。筆者對枇杷HD-Zip I家族基因的啟動子順式作用元件的分析發(fā)現(xiàn),枇杷HD-Zip I基因的啟動子中含有多個與干旱脅迫相關(guān)的順式作用元件,因此筆者研究了枇杷HD-Zip I基因在干旱脅迫響應(yīng)中的表達(dá)模式。結(jié)果表明,大多數(shù)枇杷HD-Zip I基因響應(yīng)干旱脅迫,且γ分支成員在干旱脅迫下被強(qiáng)烈誘導(dǎo),這一結(jié)果與擬南芥、小麥、桑樹和蘋果中該家族基因的研究結(jié)果相同[32-34]。研究發(fā)現(xiàn),HD-Zip I轉(zhuǎn)錄因子γ分支成員AtHB12受干旱脅迫誘導(dǎo)表達(dá)[32],且AtHB12過表達(dá)增強(qiáng)了轉(zhuǎn)基因擬南芥對干旱脅迫的耐受性[35]。HD-Zip I轉(zhuǎn)錄因子γ分支成員MdHB-7和MdHB7-like通過調(diào)節(jié)蘋果的氣孔密度提高了轉(zhuǎn)基因蘋果植株對干旱的適應(yīng)性和水分利用效率[36-37]。這表明該分支的成員可能在干旱脅迫響應(yīng)中發(fā)揮重要作用。
4 結(jié) 論
首次從枇杷全基因組中鑒定了HD-Zip I轉(zhuǎn)錄因子,啟動子預(yù)測分析表明HD-Zip I轉(zhuǎn)錄因子響應(yīng)干旱脅迫。對HD-Zip I家族基因在干旱處理后的表達(dá)進(jìn)行了分析,結(jié)果表明,EjHB9、EjHB10、EjHB17、EjHB18和EjHB20在干旱脅迫下表達(dá)量均顯著上調(diào),因此推測這些基因可能在干旱脅迫響應(yīng)中發(fā)揮重要作用。
