Description

Role of HAK gene in regulating and controlling plant traits

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of biology, in particular to the field of plant biology, and specifically relates to an effect of a HAK gene in regulation and control of plant traits.

Background

The prior art reports that the KUP/HAK/KT family is the potassium transport family which is first discovered, most abundant in number and functions in the biology world and widely exists in various species. It mediates the potassium absorption of plant in low potassium stress, participates in the physiological process of plant cell enlargement, root auxin transport and the like, the expression of the family gene is regulated and controlled by the factors of plant growth and development regulating factors, environmental stimulation and the like, and participates in the growth and development and stress response mechanism of the plant. KUP (K + uptake permenase) is firstly found in Escherichia coli and is responsible for coding Escherichia coli potassium absorption permease; HAK (high-affinity K +) is a KUP homologous gene identified in Schwanniomyces. KT (K + transporter) is a transporter with a potassium transport function found in arabidopsis thaliana.

Salt stress is one of the major abiotic stresses of plants, and causes changes in a plurality of metabolic pathways of the plants, thereby generating complex physiological level changes, mainly manifested as ion imbalance, water deficiency and oxidative toxicity, and further causing reduction of plant photosynthesis, increase of energy consumption, acceleration of senescence, limitation of growth, reduction of yield and quality. One of the main ways plants increase their own salt stress resistance is to regulate potassium (K) and sodium (Na) transport in vivo by xylem parenchyma. The tolerance to salt stress is realized by the adaptation to the toxic action of Na + and the maintenance of K + nutrition, and the plant with higher K +/Na + ratio has stronger tolerance to salt stress.

Research reports that KUP/HAK/KT family genes are also induced by high-salt adversity stress, however, at present, the genes exerting salt resistance in a plurality of HAK subtypes and the mechanism thereof are not clear.

Therefore, there is a strong need in the art to resolve the mechanism of action of the related genes and to develop a method capable of enhancing the tolerance of plants to high salt stress.

Detailed Description

The present inventors have extensively and intensively studied and, after extensive screening, have for the first time unexpectedly found that a HAK gene of a plant (such as tomato) or a protein encoded by the gene or a promoter thereof can be used for controlling plant traits, including: root length, root weight, root branching, plant height, salt tolerance. Research has shown that overexpression of the HAK protein (transporter) or its encoding gene in tomato increases the salt resistance of plants. The HAK protein and the encoding gene can be used for regulating and controlling the Na + transport of plants, and under the condition of salt stress, the HAK protein can be used for regulating and controlling the loading and unloading of Na + in the plants so as to improve the salt tolerance of the plants. Specifically, the HAK protein enhances Na + transport to and from the xylem in plants, while facilitating Na + transport from the root to other tissues or the outside world.

Furthermore, the present inventors have also surprisingly found that when the amino acid sequence of the HAK protein is subjected to C-terminal deletion by gene editing techniques, under salt stress, root length and root branching can be increased, plant height of a plant can be increased, and salt tolerance of the plant can be enhanced. The improvement of the root can enhance the lodging resistance of the plant, promote the absorption of nutrient substances and enhance the environmental adaptability. And the increase of the plant height can increase the biomass and/or the yield of the plant.

The research also finds that the deletion of 6 bases at 48bp downstream of the HAK gene promoter and the replacement of the base G to A at 3093bp cause the reduction of the salt tolerance of the plant.

On the basis of this, the present invention has been completed.

HAK protein and encoding nucleic acid sequence

As used herein, the terms "HAK protein", "HAK polypeptide", "HAK transporter" are used interchangeably and refer to a class of ion transporters that are present on different organelle membranes, such as the plasma membrane, the vacuolar membrane, and the thylakoid membrane.

As used herein, the terms "mutant HAK protein", and "mutant HAK protein" are used interchangeably and refer to a mutant obtained by mutation of the amino acid sequence of a wild-type HAK protein.

As used herein, the terms "HAK gene of the present invention", "HAK gene", "nucleic acid sequence encoding HAK protein", which are used interchangeably under appropriate conditions, all refer to DNA sequences, all refer to HAK genes or variants thereof derived from plants (e.g., tomato, wheat, etc.).

In a preferred embodiment, the HAK gene of the invention is SlHAK20 gene, and the nucleotide sequence of the gene is shown in SEQ ID NO. 1.

The invention also includes nucleic acids having at least 10%, at least 20%, at least 30%, at least 40%, at least 50%, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98% or at least 99% sequence homology to a preferred gene sequence of the invention (SEQ ID NO:1), which nucleic acids are also effective in modulating an agronomic trait in a plant, such as tomato.

"homology" or "identity" refers to the match of sequences between two polypeptides or between two nucleic acids. When a position in both of the sequences being compared is occupied by the same base or amino acid monomer subunit (e.g., a position in each of two DNA molecules is occupied by adenine, or a position in each of two polypeptides is occupied by lysine), then the molecules are identical at that position. The "percent identity" between two sequences is a function of the number of positions compared at the first by the number of matching positions shared by the two sequences x 100. For example, if 6 of 10 positions of two sequences match, then the two sequences have 60% identity. Typically, the comparison is made when it is difficult to Align the two sequences to produce maximum identity, such alignment can be conveniently performed by Needleman et al (1970) j.mol.biol.j.mol.biol.biol.j.biol.j.mol.biol.48: 443-453. The algorithm of E.Meyers and W.Miller (Compout.Applbiosci., 4:11-17(1988)) which has been incorporated into the ALIGN program (version 2.0) can also be used to determine percent identity between two amino acid sequences using a PAM120 weight residue table (weight residue table), a gap length penalty of 12, and a gap penalty of 4. The method is realized. Furthermore, percent identity between two amino acid sequences can be determined using the Needleman and Wunsch (J MoI biol.48: 444-. In this context, variants of the genes can be obtained by insertion or deletion of regulatory regions, random or site-directed mutagenesis, and the like.

In the present invention, the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO. 1 can be substituted, deleted or added with one or more, to generate a derivative sequence of SEQ ID NO. 1, and due to the degeneracy of codons, even if the homology with SEQ ID NO. 1 is low, the amino acid sequence shown as SEQ ID NO. 2 can be basically encoded. In addition, the meaning of "a nucleotide sequence in SEQ ID NO. 1 is substituted, deleted or added with at least one nucleotide-derived sequence" also includes a nucleotide sequence that hybridizes to the nucleotide sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 1 under moderate stringency conditions, more preferably under high stringency conditions. These variants include (but are not limited to): deletion, insertion and/or substitution of several (usually 1 to 90, preferably 1 to 60, more preferably 1 to 20, most preferably 1 to 10) nucleotides, and addition of several (usually less than 60, preferably less than 30, more preferably less than 10, most preferably less than 5) nucleotides at the 5 'and/or 3' end.

It is to be understood that although the genes provided in the examples of the present invention are derived from tomato, the gene sequences of HAK derived from other similar plants (especially plants belonging to the same family or genus as tomato) and having a certain homology (conservation) with the sequence of the present invention (preferably, the sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:1) are also included in the scope of the present invention, as long as the sequence can be easily isolated from other plants by those skilled in the art based on the information provided in the present application after reading the present application.

The polynucleotide or nucleic acid sequence of the present invention may be in the form of DNA or RNA. The DNA forms include: DNA, genomic DNA or artificially synthesized DNA, the DNA may be single-stranded or double-stranded. The DNA may be the coding strand or the non-coding strand. The sequence of the coding region encoding the mature polypeptide may be identical to the sequence of the coding region shown in SEQ ID NO. 1 or may be a degenerate variant.

Polynucleotides encoding mature polypeptides include coding sequences encoding only mature polypeptides; the coding sequence for the mature polypeptide and various additional coding sequences; the coding sequence (and optionally additional coding sequences) as well as non-coding sequences for the mature polypeptide.

The term "polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide" may include a polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide, and may also include additional coding and/or non-coding sequences. The invention also relates to variants of the above polynucleotides which encode fragments, analogs and derivatives of the polyglycosides or polypeptides having the same amino acid sequence as the invention. The variant of the polynucleotide may be a naturally occurring allelic variant or a non-naturally occurring variant. These nucleotide variants include substitution variants, deletion variants and insertion variants. As is known in the art, an allelic variant is a substitution of a polynucleotide, which may be a substitution, deletion, or insertion of one or more nucleotides, without substantially altering the function of the polypeptide encoded thereby.

The present invention also relates to polynucleotides which hybridize to the sequences described above and which have at least 50%, preferably at least 70%, and more preferably at least 80% identity between the two sequences. The present invention particularly relates to polynucleotides which hybridize under stringent conditions to the polynucleotides of the present invention. In the present invention, "stringent conditions" mean: (1) hybridization and elution at lower ionic strength and higher temperature, such as 0.2 XSSC, 0.1% SDS, 60 ℃; or (2) adding denaturant during hybridization, such as 50% (v/v) methyl phthalein amine, 0.1% calf serum/0.1% Ficoll, 42 deg.C, etc.; or (3) hybridization occurs only when the identity between two sequences is at least 90% or more, preferably 95% or more.

It is to be understood that although the HAK gene of the invention is preferably from tomato, other genes from other plants that have some homology and function in close proximity to the tomato HAK gene are also within the contemplation of the invention. Methods and means for aligning sequence identity are also well known in the art, for example BLAST.

For example, in another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the HAK gene of the present invention may also be OsHAK4 gene derived from rice, the nucleotide sequence of which is shown in SEQ ID NO. 3, and the amino acid sequence of the encoded protein of which is shown in SEQ ID NO. 4.

The full-length sequence of the HAK nucleotide or a fragment thereof of the present invention can be obtained by PCR amplification, recombination, or artificial synthesis. For PCR amplification, primers can be designed based on the nucleotide sequences disclosed herein, particularly open reading frame sequences, and the sequences can be amplified using a commercially available DNA library or a cDNA library prepared by conventional methods known to those skilled in the art as a template. When the sequence is long, two or more PCR amplifications are often required, and then the amplified fragments are spliced together in the correct order. Once the sequence of interest has been obtained, it can be obtained in large quantities by recombinant methods. Usually, it is cloned into a vector, transferred into a cell, and then isolated from the propagated host cell by a conventional method to obtain the relevant sequence.

In addition, the sequence can be synthesized by artificial synthesis, especially when the fragment length is short. Generally, fragments with long sequences are obtained by first synthesizing a plurality of small fragments and then ligating them. At present, DNA sequences encoding the proteins of the present invention (or fragments or derivatives thereof) have been obtained completely by chemical synthesis. The DNA sequence may then be introduced into various existing DNA molecules (or vectors, for example) and cells known in the art. Furthermore, mutations can also be introduced into the protein sequences of the invention by chemical synthesis.

Expression vector

The invention also relates to a vector comprising the polynucleotide of the invention, and a host cell comprising the vector of the invention or the coding sequence of the mutein of the invention, as well as a method for producing the SlHAK20 mutein of the invention by recombinant techniques.

The polynucleotide sequences of the present invention may be used to express or produce recombinant muteins by conventional recombinant DNA techniques. Generally, the following steps are performed:

(1) transforming or transducing a suitable host cell with a polynucleotide (or variant) of the invention encoding a mutein of the invention, or with a recombinant expression vector comprising the polynucleotide;

(2) a host cell cultured in a suitable medium;

(3) isolating and purifying the protein from the culture medium or the cells.

The present invention also provides a recombinant vector comprising the gene of the present invention. In a preferred embodiment, the promoter downstream of the recombinant vector comprises a multiple cloning site or at least one cleavage site. When it is desired to express the target gene of the present invention, the target gene is ligated into a suitable multiple cloning site or restriction enzyme site, thereby operably linking the target gene with the promoter. As another preferred mode, the recombinant vector comprises (in the 5 'to 3' direction): a promoter, a gene of interest, and a terminator. If desired, the recombinant vector may further comprise an element selected from the group consisting of: a 3' polyadenylation signal; an untranslated nucleic acid sequence; transport and targeting nucleic acid sequences; resistance selection markers (dihydrofolate reductase, neomycin resistance, hygromycin resistance, green fluorescent protein, etc.); an enhancer; or operator.

In the present invention, the polynucleotide sequence encoding the mutein may be inserted into a recombinant expression vector. The term "recombinant expression vector" refers to a bacterial plasmid, bacteriophage, yeast plasmid, plant cell virus, mammalian cell virus such as adenovirus, retrovirus, or other vectors well known in the art. Any plasmid or vector may be used as long as it can replicate and is stable in the host. An important feature of expression vectors is that they generally contain an origin of replication, a promoter, a marker gene and translation control elements.

Methods well known to those skilled in the art can be used to construct expression vectors containing the DNA sequences encoding the muteins of the present invention and appropriate transcription/translation control signals. These methods include in vitro recombinant DNA techniques, DNA synthesis techniques, in vivo recombinant techniques, and the like. The DNA sequence may be operably linked to a suitable promoter in an expression vector to direct mRNA synthesis. Representative examples of such promoters are: lac or trp promoter of E.coli; a lambda phage PL promoter; eukaryotic promoters include CMV immediate early promoter, HSV thymidine kinase promoter, early and late SV40 promoter, LTRs of retrovirus, and other known promoters capable of controlling gene expression in prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells or viruses. The expression vector also includes a ribosome binding site for translation initiation and a transcription terminator.

The host cell may be a prokaryotic cell, such as E.coli, Streptomyces, Agrobacterium; or lower eukaryotic cells, such as yeast cells; or higher eukaryotic cells, such as plant cells. It will be clear to one of ordinary skill in the art how to select an appropriate vector and host cell. Transformation of a host cell with recombinant DNA can be carried out using conventional techniques well known to those skilled in the art. When the host is a prokaryote (e.g., Escherichia coli), CaCl may be used₂The treatment can also be carried out by electroporation. When the host is a eukaryote, the following DNA transfection methods may be used: calcium phosphate coprecipitation, conventional mechanical methods (e.g., microinjection, electroporation, liposome encapsulation, etc.). The transformed plant may be transformed by methods such as Agrobacterium transformation or biolistic transformation, for example, leaf disc method, immature embryo transformation, flower bud soaking method, etc. The transformed plant cells, tissues or organs can be regenerated into plants by conventional methods to obtain transgenic plants.

When the polynucleotide of the present invention is expressed in higher eukaryotic cells, transcription will be enhanced if an enhancer sequence is inserted into the vector. Enhancers are cis-acting elements of DNA, usually about 10 to 300 base pairs, that act on a promoter to increase transcription of a gene. Examples include the SV40 enhancer at the late side of the replication origin at 100 to 270 bp, the polyoma enhancer at the late side of the replication origin, and adenovirus enhancers.

It will be clear to one of ordinary skill in the art how to select appropriate vectors, promoters, enhancers and host cells.

The obtained transformant can be cultured by a conventional method to express the polypeptide encoded by the gene of the present invention. The medium used in the culture may be selected from various conventional media depending on the host cell used. The culturing is performed under conditions suitable for growth of the host cell. After the host cells have been grown to an appropriate cell density, the selected promoter is induced by suitable means (e.g., temperature shift or chemical induction) and the cells are cultured for an additional period of time.

The recombinant polypeptide in the above method may be expressed intracellularly or on the cell membrane, or secreted extracellularly. If necessary, the recombinant protein can be isolated and purified by various separation methods using its physical, chemical and other properties. These methods are well known to those skilled in the art. Examples of such methods include, but are not limited to: conventional renaturation treatment, treatment with a protein precipitant (such as salt precipitation), centrifugation, cell lysis by osmosis, sonication, ultracentrifugation, molecular sieve chromatography (gel filtration), adsorption chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), and other various liquid chromatography techniques, and combinations thereof.

The agrobacterium carrying the target vector is incubated with detoxified tomato cotyledons for 20min for infection, after the agrobacterium is discarded, the tomato cotyledons are placed in a co-culture medium (components 4.3g/L MS salt (519),0.2mg/L IAA,2mg/L ZT,30g/L sucrose,7.4g/L agar, pH 5.5-5.6) for dark culture for 2-3 days. The co-cultured tomato cotyledons were transferred to a selection medium containing 6mg/L of Hygromycin and 300mg/L of Timentin antibiotic (the composition was the same as the co-culture medium) for 7-10 days of selection subculture each generation until tissue culture seedlings were differentiated. The tissue culture seedlings are cut down and inserted into a rooting culture medium (components of 4.3g/L MS salt (524),20g/L sucrose,300mg/L Timentin,7.4g/L Agar, pH 5.7-5.8) for rooting, and the seedlings can be acclimatized and transplanted after the root systems develop to be strong.

Detection of protein levels was achieved by Western Blot. Total proteins in the over-expressed strains Hap1OE-1, Hap1OE-2 and Hap1OE-3 were extracted with 1% SDS protein extract, 20. mu.g of each total protein was run on SDS-PAGE gel, then the proteins were filmed onto nitrocellulose membranes (0.45. mu.m HATF, Nitrocellulose membrane, Merck Millipore), 5% skim milk powder was blocked for 1h, 1:2500 dilution of antibody anti-GFP (Thermo Fisher) or 1:3000 dilution of antibody anti-ACI (Thermo Fisher) was added to 5% skim milk powder and incubated overnight at 4 ℃, then the membranes were transferred to 1:5000 dilution of anti-antibody IgG (Ababmart) and incubated for 1h, rinsed 3 times with 1 XTST (pH8.0, NaCl, 0.05% Tween 20) for 15min each time, the front membrane was added with chromogenic solution (Chemimor Thermax), and after incubation, the membranes were placed on Lab + Biotech (TM) imaging system (XRS + imaging).

5. Salt resistance assay

After the seeds of the positive seedlings and the negative seedlings are disinfected by 10% sodium hypochlorite for 20min, the seeds are finally cultured in 1/4MS culture medium, horizontally placed and germinated, and then transferred to 1/4MS culture medium for vertical culture for about 10 days. The seedlings were transplanted into soil or liquid culture boxes (1/4MS liquid medium), and after 18 days of further culture 175mM NaCl was added to the culture broth or the tomato cultured in the soil was watered with it. After 2-3 weeks of salt treatment, rehydration is carried out, i.e. tomatoes are cultured and irrigated by using culture solution or water without NaCl, and the survival rates of different transgenic materials are counted after 2 weeks.

6. Results and analysis of the experiments

Oven drying at 75 deg.C for more than 24h, adding 1mL of concentrated nitric acid containing internal standard indium (In) into 1mg (accurately weighing and recording weight) dry sample, digesting at 115 deg.C for 4h, adding 9.2mL of deionized water, diluting, and mixing. The diluted samples were examined by ICP-MS (NexION 350D; Perkinelmer) and the sodium and potassium ion contents were calculated.

C linkers are respectively added to upstream and downstream primers of Single guide RNA 5 'GGTCTCCTATCATGGGTGCATGG 3' designed before 3093bp downstream of ATG of SlHAK20 genome, and after synthesis (Thermo Fisher Scientific), the primers are diluted to 10 mu M of final concentration, and 10 mu L of each primer is mixed. After annealing in a PCR instrument (BioRAD) to form double strands, directly cutting with Bsa I-HF (New England Biolabs) of a target vector pCAMBIA1300-Cas9, carrying out T4 chaining for 2h, after a reaction product transforms escherichia coli DH5 alpha competence, screening kanamycin to obtain a correct recombinant binary vector, carrying out colony PCR identification by using M13F and sgRNA downstream primers, carrying out Sanger sequencing on a PCR product to further determine, and transforming tomatoes by an agrobacterium-mediated callus floral dip transformation method for subsequent experiments.

2. Genetic transformation

3. Plant culture and mutant screening

4. Identification of phenotype (root development, plant height, sodium potassium ion content)

And (3) disinfecting the gene editing homozygote and the corresponding wild seeds for 20min by using 10% sodium hypochlorite, finally carrying out 1/4MS culture medium, horizontally placing and germinating, transferring to 1/4MS culture medium containing 200mM NaCl, vertically placing and culturing for 1 week or 1 month, and then counting characters such as fresh weight and the like. The control group was cultured in 1/4MS medium containing no NaCl for 10 days while standing upright.

Or transferring the germinated seedlings to 1/4MS culture medium for about 10 days vertically. The seedlings were transplanted into soil or liquid culture boxes (1/4MS liquid medium), and after 18 days of further culture, 200mM NaCl was added to the culture solution or the tomatoes cultured in the soil were watered with water containing 200mM NaCl. After 2-3 weeks of salt treatment, rehydration is carried out, namely the characters such as plant height and the like are counted after 2 weeks of culture solution or water culture without NaCl and tomato irrigation. The control group was cultured with 1/4MS medium containing no NaCl or water-drenched soil blocks for 30 days and then the plant heights were counted.

5. Determination of sodium and potassium content

6. Results and analysis of the experiments

(1) SlHAK20 mutation can affect the development of plant roots

As shown in FIG. 10, the mutant slhak20-3, slhak20-4, increased root length and increased number of root branches compared to wild type after salt treatment.

(2) Influence of SlHAK20 mutation on plant height and biomass

As shown in FIG. 11, the mutant slhak20-3, slhak20-4 increased in plant height compared to wild type after salt treatment.

(3) Influence of SlHAK20 mutation on plant sodium ion and potassium ion content

As shown in FIG. 12a, in salt stress conditions, Na +/K + of mutant slhak20-3 and slhak20-4 was significantly reduced compared to wild-type roots.

As shown in FIG. 12b, under salt stress conditions, the mutant slhak20-3 and slhak20-4 showed a significant decrease in Na +/K + as compared to wild-type aerial parts.

6. Conclusion of the experiment

Experimental results show that the root length and the plant height of the SlHAK20 large-fragment deletion mutant are obviously superior to those of a wild type under salt stress, and the biomass of the plant can be improved, even the yield of the plant is isophenotypic; the Na +/K + ratio of plant tissues can be reduced, and the salt resistance of the plant is enhanced.

The research result has application value for improving the characters, can realize the regulation and control of the characters such as salt resistance and the like by improving the HAK gene of the plant, and has important scientific value for cultivating new stress-tolerant plant varieties.
