目的 克隆获得鸢尾Iris tectorum糖基转移酶基因ItUGT349和ItUGT419,并对其进行生物信息学分析、基因差异表达检测和蛋白原核表达等特性分析。方法 以鸢尾转录组中筛选到的ItUGTs基因全长开放阅读框(open reading frame,ORF)设计特异性引物,进行PCR扩增,经测序后获得基因序列并进行生物信息学分析;通过荧光定量PCR(real-time PCR,qRT-PCR)进行基因差异表达检测;最后构建pET-32a(+)原核表达载体在大肠杆菌中表达蛋白。结果 PCR扩增ItUGT349和ItUGT419的ORF长度分别为1461、1488 bp,编码蛋白相对分子质量大小分别为53 830、54 910。荧光定量PCR显示,ItUGT349的表达量在叶片中最高,而ItUGT419在花器官中表达最高。进化树表明,ItUGT419与三萜类糖基转移酶聚类在一起,ItUGT349与三萜、黄酮和木质素等多种类型的糖基转移酶聚类到一支。ItUGT349和ItUGT419在大肠杆菌中均成功的表达出可溶性蛋白。结论 通过ItUGT349和ItUGT419基因全长ORF克隆,并对其进行序列分析,基因差异表达检测及原核表达等研究,为后续进一步鉴定其催化功能奠定基础。

Objective To clone the glycosyltransferase genes ItUGT349 and ItUGT419 from Iris tectorum and conduct bioinformatics analysis, gene differential expression analysis and protein prokaryotic expression analysis. Methods Gene-specific primers were designed based on the open reading frame (ORF) of ItUGTs, which were screened from the transcriptome data; And the gene products were obtained by PCR amplification. After sequencing identification, bioinformatics analysis was performed. Moreover, the different expression of both genes among various tissues were detected by real-time qPCR. Finally, the target gene was constructed into the prokaryotic expression vector pET-32a (+) and the soluble proteins were obtained in Escherichia coli. Results The length of open reading frame (ORF) of ItUGT349 and ItUGT419 were 1461 bp and 1488 bp, respectively; And the molecular weight of the encoding proteins were 53 830 and 54 910. The fluorescence quantitative PCR results showed that the expression level of ItUGT349 was highest in leaves, while ItUGT419 was highly expressed in flowers. The phylogenetic tree showed that ItUGT419 was clustered with the UGTs, which were related to triterpene biosynthesis; And ItUGT349 was clustered with the UGTs, which were involved in the biosynthesis of triterpene, flavonoids and lignin. Finally, ItUGT349 and ItUGT419 were successfully expressed in E. coli. Conclusion The full-length ORF cloning, sequences analysis, differential gene expression detection and prokaryotic expression of ItUGT349 and ItUGT419 lay a foundation for the subsequent identification of their catalytic function in I. tectorum.
