Description

One grow tobacco JAZ protein gene and application

Technical field

The present invention relates to the biosynthesis and regulation genes involved of tobacco Nicotine, the particularly synthetic application of gene aspect reduction tobacco nicotine content of regulation and control tobacco Nicotine.

Background technology

Smoking serious harm people's is healthy, thereby how to reduce harm of smoking and become national governments, medical expert, botanist one of the problem paying close attention to, study of going all out.The top tobacco company in the much world drops into huge fund pathways metabolism, the regulatory mechanism of tobacco secondary metabolite is studied.Nicotine is a kind of pyridine alkaloid, mainly is present in Solanaceae Nicotiana (Nicotiana) plant, is a kind of important secondary metabolite in the tobacco body.Biosynthetic research mainly concentrates on its metabolism involved enzyme of clone and analyzes its physiology and chemistry characteristic aspect to Nicotine at present.Nicotine is that the root plant forms and passes through xylem and is transported under the blade deposition.The synthetic precursor of Nicotine is basic amino acid: arginine and ornithine and aspartic acid.Their key enzyme PMT in a series of metabolism route of synthesis, the catalysis such as QPT and MPO finally generates Nicotine (Chintapakorn and Hamill, 2003.Antisense-mediated down-regulation of putrescineN-methyltransferase activity in transgenic Nicotiana tabacum L.can lead to elevated levels ofanatabine at the expense of nicotine.Plant Molecular Biology 53:87-105.).

The Nicotine biosynthesizing is subjected to the regulation and control of many factors, and the hormone signal of developmental regulation is exactly a very important class.Jasmonate (JAs) is the general designation of jasmonic and derivative thereof, is to play the plant growth regulating substance that global regulation acts in plant materials, is distributed widely in the reproductive organ of tender tissue, flower and growth of plant.And when plant was subject to biology and coerces with abiotic stress, JAs can also change the defensive raction of genetic expression and mediated plant in cell.Studies have shown that the key enzyme on the nicotine metabolite approach, as MPT, QPT and MPO all are subjected to the plant wound induce inducing of hormone-Jasmonate and express, thereby form Nicotine.From 1962, find jasmonic so far, people understand the route of synthesis of jasmonic very much, but growing and the molecular mechanism of stress reaction unclear to the signal transduction path of Jasmonate and regulating plant thereof.

Three seminars in 2007 in succession be reported in Arabidopis thaliana found a class new transcribe the inhibition regulon, be named as Jasmonate ZIM domain protein family (being called for short JAZ albumen).It brings into play its physiological function (Chini et al., 2007.The JAZ family of repressors is the missing link in jasmonate signalling.Nature 448:U664-U664 by the expression that suppresses the Jasmonate responsive genes; Thines et al., 2007.JAZ repressor proteins are targets of the SCFCO11complex during jasmonate signalling.Nature 448:U661-U662.; Yan et al., 2007.A DownstreamMediator in the Growth Repression Limb of the Jasmonate Pathway.Plant Cell 19,2470-2483.).When there is no Jasmonate, the C-of JAZ albumen end is combined in the N-end of MYC2 transcription factor, suppresses the expression of Jasmonate induced gene; When in plant materials, having Jasmonate to exist, the same SCF of JAZ albumen ^COI1Mixture interacts, thereby causes the poly-ubiquitin of JAZ albumen and degraded by the 26S proteasome, discharges the expression that the MYC2 transcription factor activates the Jasmonate induced gene.

The metabolic regulation of research Nicotine is a very significant job.Nicotine has very strong physiological stimulation effect to human body, is the basic substance that the tobacco commerciality is used.For tobacco, Nicotine is a kind of defensive material of resisting insect pest infestation.In the tobacco plant do not come to harm, nicotine content is approximately 0.1%-1.0%.After being subject to plant-feed insect infringement or physical abuse, in tobacco plant, Jasmonate content can be increased to 9 times of original (Ziegler et al., 2001.Herbivore-inducedallene oxide synthase transcripts and jasmonic acid in Nicotiana attenuata.Phytochemistry 58:729-738.), and nicotine content can reach doubly (Baldwin of 4-10, 1998.Jasmonate-induced responses arecostly but benefit plants under attack in native populations.Proceedings of the National Academyof Sciences of the United States of America 95, 8113-8118.), this concentration can make most of leaf-eating insects dead immediately, thereby protection is subjected to the tissue of insect infringement, reach pest-resistant purpose.The results show Jasmonate can regulate and control the generation of Nicotine, but its molecular mechanism unclear.

At present, for the research of JAZ albumen, in Arabidopis thaliana, find altogether 12 members, this is not difficult to make us to think deeply, and in tobacco, have and there is no such JAZ albumen, and whether these albumen has participated in the synthetic of tobacco Nicotine that Jasmonate induces.
