Abstract

Calcineurin B-like proteins (CBLs) are involved in plant-specific Ca2+ signaling as calcium (Ca) sensors and are essential for plant response to abiotic stress. Peanut is an important oilseed crop, and salt stress seriously affects the growth and development of peanut and its seed quality.At present, the response of peanut CBL genes to salt stress is unknown. In this study, members of the CBL gene family were identified from the peanut genome-wide database using bioinformatics methods and were analyzed for physicochemical properties, gene structure, phylogenetic tree and colinearity. The study found that there are 89 CBL genes in the peanut genome distributed on 19 chromosomes. Analysis of the physicochemical properties of the proteins showed that peanut CBLs are mainly composed of acidic amino acids. Subcellular localization predictions revealed that most of the CBLs in peanut are localized in the nucleus. To investigate the response of peanut CBL genes to salt stress, the expression patterns of five CBL genes were analyzed under salt stress. After treating with 200 mmol/L NaCl for 3 h, the expression of AhCBL46.1 was significantly increased, and the expressions of AhCBL4, AhCBL33 and AhCBL66 were significantly increased after 12 h of NaCl treatment. However, AhCBL61.3 showed a negative response to salt stress, suggesting that the peanut CBL genes play an important role in salt stress regulation. This research lays the groundwork for further exploration into the functionality of AhCBL genes.

生物和非生物胁迫对作物的生长发育具有负面影响。非生物胁迫包括渗透胁迫(如干旱和盐胁迫)、高温和低温胁迫、重金属胁迫以及养分缺乏等,严重影响作物产量[1-2]。盐胁迫是影响植物生长发育的重要障碍,土壤中盐分过量会引发植物的渗透胁迫、离子中毒、失水、萎蔫、代谢紊乱以及膜系统受损等问题,严重时甚至会导致植物死亡[3-5]
钙离子(Ca2+)作为植物体内的第二信使,是各种信号途径不可或缺的组成部分,其在植物体内的浓度会随着环境变化而变化,对植物响应非生物胁迫至关重要[6-7]。先前的研究发现了三大类钙受体:钙调素(calmodulin,CaM)、钙依赖性蛋白激酶(calcium-dependent protein kinase,CDPK)和类钙调磷酸酶B亚基蛋白(calcineurin B-like protein,CBL)[8]。其中,CBL能够与CBL互作蛋白激酶(CBL-interacting protein kinase,CIPK)结合形成CBL-CIPK蛋白复合物,并参与信号传导,使植物能够对盐、干旱、低温等胁迫做出响应[7,9-11]
在拟南芥中,目前共鉴定出10个编码CBL蛋白的基因(AtCBL1~10)[12],其中,AtCBL1AtCBL2AtCBL5AtCBL9AtCBL10基因已被证实对非生物胁迫具有响应能力[13-17]。玉米中,ZmCBL3ZmCBL4ZmCBL5ZmCBL8通过与ZmCIPK16互作,响应干旱、高盐等非生物胁迫[18]。此外,过表达OsCBL8能够赋予水稻高温抗性,OsCBL5是水稻盐胁迫的负调控因子[19-20]。研究表明低温处理会提高豌豆中PsCBL的转录水平,但干旱处理对PsCBL的表达没有影响[21]。在杨树中,盐胁迫条件下PeCBL1PeCBL2PeCBL4PeCBL5PeCBL9基因均会上调表达[22]。这些结果进一步表明,CBL基因能够响应多种非生物胁迫,参与调节植物体内离子稳态,协助植物适应环境胁迫。
花生(Arachis hypogaea L.)为异源四倍体豆科作物,由分属于A、B基因组的二倍体花生野生种Arachis duranensisArachis ipaensis杂交及自然加倍演化而来[23-25]。据2022年数据统计,全球共有84个国家种植花生,面积达3 400万公顷,总产量5 045万吨[26]。在花生种植过程中,各种非生物胁迫严重影响其产量和品质。
自花生基因组测序完成以来,已有多个花生基因家族被鉴定[27-28],但花生CBL(AhCBL)基因家族的研究尚未开展。本研究对花生中的CBL基因进行全面鉴定,对其结构特征、保守序列、蛋白结构等进行系统分析,探讨AhCBL与其他物种之间的进化关系,并对其在盐胁迫条件下的基因表达情况进行测定,以期深入了解CBL基因在植物生长发育中的功能,挖掘宝贵的遗传资源,初步探究CBL响应胁迫的调控机制,为花生抗逆育种的候选基因筛选提供参考。

3 讨论

植物中的Ca2+感知蛋白感知并响应Ca2+浓度的变化,调控特定的信号转导并参与植物对各种环境刺激(包括生物和非生物胁迫)的响应,在植物的各种生命活动中发挥重要作用[33]。作为Ca2+感知蛋白,CBL蛋白通过结合Ca2+并与特定蛋白激酶相互作用来传递钙信号。目前,CBL家族成员已在多种植物中被鉴定,如苜蓿(68个)[30]、小麦(68个)[34]、水稻(10个)[35]和玉米(12个)[36]。本研究利用生物信息学分析,在花生中共鉴定出89个CBL基因家族成员,89个AhCBL基因编码的氨基酸数在54~774 aa之间,相对分子质量介于6.429~87.948 kDa,等电点介于4.00~9.34,AhCBL蛋白中的酸性氨基酸占比95%以上,脂肪系数介于69.40~97.91。已有许多研究显示,外显子和内含子的结构在基因家族的演化和成员功能分化中起着关键作用。内含子的数量和长度对真核生物的基因表达也具有至关重要的调控作用[37-39]。本研究发现,AhCBL家族内各成员的内含子数量介于0~10个,且内含子长度差异较大,暗示AhCBL基因家族组内成员之间的基因功能差异较大(图 2c)。花生CBL基因在染色体上的分布呈不规则状态,在13号染色体上的分布较为密集(图3),由此推测花生基因组中的AhCBL之间可能存在功能冗余。在逆境条件下,机体可通过激活转录因子并结合基因的顺式作用元件来调节基因表达,以适应外界压力。研究指出,CBL基因家族普遍参与植物的发育过程以及对非生物胁迫的响应[40-41]。本研究通过分析顺式作用元件发现,AhCBL家族成员基因上游2 000 bp启动子区域含有大量与抗逆、激素响应和生长发育相关的结合元件(图 5)。此外,AhCBL基因在花生的不同组织中广泛表达,包括根、成熟叶、发育中的花以及固氮根瘤(图 6),表明它们在植物的生长发育过程中扮演着关键角色。
高盐度是限制植物生长发育和作物产量的主要环境因素,CBLCIPK基因家族在植物应对盐胁迫中具有重要作用[42-43]。通常情况下,根是植物感知和应对胁迫的关键器官。在拟南芥中,AtCBL4/SOS3激活AtCIPK24/SOS2,启动SOS途径,以维持盐胁迫下根系中的离子平衡[44-45]。这一途径在水稻、玉米和甘蔗的盐胁迫反应中也被广泛报道[18,20,46-48]。在大豆中共鉴定出15个CBL基因家族成员,其中GmCBL1基因在大豆对盐和碱胁迫的响应中发挥重要作用。GmCBL1可能作为钙信号感受器,感知细胞内钙离子浓度的变化,并激活下游CBL-CIPK信号通路,该通路进而调控离子通道、渗透调节、抗氧化等基因的表达,增强植物对盐、碱胁迫的耐受性[49]。苜蓿中多数CBL基因在盐胁迫和干旱胁迫条件下表达水平显著上调,表明它们可能在苜蓿抗逆性调控中发挥重要作用[30]。鹰嘴豆中CaCBL1CaCBL4CaCBL10等基因在根、茎、叶等组织中均有表达,且在盐胁迫、干旱胁迫下表达量显著上调,表明它们参与鹰嘴豆的非生物胁迫响应[50]。利用盐、干旱、寒冷、损伤和脱落酸暴露等多种刺激均可诱导AtCBL1表达[51-52]。同时,AtCBL9在负向调节冷胁迫的过程中,使得拟南芥对脱落酸不敏感[53]。在转基因拟南芥中,紫花针茅CBL6的过表达提高了植株的耐寒性并降低了耐旱性,萝卜的BrrCBL9.2则提高了植株的耐盐性[54-55]AhCBL基因在不同亚家族中的表达模式各不相同。本研究中,在盐胁迫条件下,AhCBL4AhCBL33AhCBL46.1AhCBL66的表达均上调,而AhCBL61.3的表达受到抑制(图 7)。这些结果表明,AhCBL4AhCBL33AhCBL46.1AhCBL66能够提高花生的耐盐性,而AhCBL61.3可能具有相反的功能。

4 结论

本研究在花生中共鉴定出89个CBL基因。根据系统进化和结构域分析结果,花生CBL基因家族可分为4组。基因表达分析显示,AhCBL4AhCBL33AhCBL46.1AhCBL61.3AhCBL66在花生的不同组织中均表现出显著的调节作用。RT-qPCR结果表明,AhCBL4AhCBL33AhCBL46.1AhCBL66可能对盐胁迫具有正向调节作用,而AhCBL61.3可能对盐胁迫具有负向调控作用。研究结果为今后研究花生中CBL基因的生物学功能奠定了基础。
