Abstract

Magnesium is a macronutrient that plays essential roles in plant growth, development, photosynthesis, stress response as well as other biological processes. In higher plants, it has been established that absorption, transport, distribution, and reallocation of Mg2+ are mainly mediated by MGTs/MRS2s (magnesium transporters/mitochondrial RNA splicing2s) and MHXs (magnesium-proton exchangers). Among them, the family MGT, also known as CorA (cobalt resistance A) that was originally identified in Salmonella typhimurium, was most studied, especially in model plants such as arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) and rice (Oryza sativa). By contrast, little information is available in papaya (Carica papaya L.), an economically important tropical crop of the Caricaceae family within Brassicales. Based on mining accessible genome and transcriptome data of papaya, in this study, a magnesium transporter gene named CpMGT1, which includes an open reading frame of 1332 bp, was successfully cloned using RT-PCR (reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction). Furthermore, the protein physicochemical properties and conserved motifs were investigated using bioinformatics tools, the gene expression patterns were analyzed using qRT-PCR (quantitative real-time PCR), and functional complementarity was performed through heterologous expression in S. typhimurium mutant MM281 that lacks Mg2+ transporting systems (i.e. CorA, MgtA, and MgtB) and can’t grow on media containing low concentrations of Mg2+. Results showed that CpMGT1 was predicted to encode 443 amino acids with a theoretical molecular weight of 50.43 kDa and an isoelectric point of 5.12; the protein was shown to contain two hydrophobic transmembrane regions (i.e. TM1 and TM2), while TM1 harbored the highly conserved GMN motif; the subcellular localization prediction suggested that the CpMGT1 protein was located in the plasma membrane, whereas the evolutionary analysis revealed that it was closely related to AtMGT1 and AtMGT2, two high affinity Mg2+ transporters in arabidopsis; the expression analysis showed that CpMGT1 was constitutively expressed in tissues examined, with most abundance in roots, stems, and fruits; heterologous expression of CpMGT1 in the MM281 mutant could significantly improve the growth of engineering strain at low Mg2+ concentrations, implying its high Mg2+ transport activity. Taken together, this study presents the molecular cloning and characterization of the first MGT gene in papaya, including sequence features, physicochemical properties, evolutionary relationships, gene expression patterns as well as Mg2+ transport activity. These results could not only lay a solid foundation for further uncovering the accumulation mechanism of Mg2+ in different tissues especially in the fruit, but also provide a valuable resource for genetic improvement in papaya and other species.

Mg2+是生物体内广泛存在的二价金属阳离子,其在植物的各种生理生化过程中起重要作用[1-2]。Mg2+具有较大的水合半径、小的离子半径和高的电荷密度[1],这些物理结构决定了其转运蛋白的特异性。在高等植物中,Mg2+的转运主要由镁离子转运蛋白(magnesium transporter/mitochondrial RNA splicing 2, MGT/MRS2)和Mg2+/ H+交换体(magnesium-proton exchanger, MHX)介导[2-5]。其中,MGT基因最早在鼠伤寒沙门氏菌(Salmonella typhimurium)中被发现,缺失Mg2+转运系统(即CorA、MgtA和MgtB)的突变株MM281无法在低于10 mmol/L Mg2+的N-Minimal培养基上生长[6-7]。至今MGT家族成员已在拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana)、水稻(Oryza sativa)等植物中进行了较为深入的研究[8-10]。在拟南芥的10个MGT中,有9个基因的编码蛋白具有Mg2+转运活性,其中,AtMGT1、AtMGT2和AtMGT10为高亲和型,AtMGT3、AtMGT6、AtMGT7和AtMGT9为低亲和型,AtMGT5为双亲和型[11];对atmgt2atmgt3atmgt7等突变体的研究表明,其胞质中的Mg2+浓度明显低于野生型[7,12]。在水稻的9个家族成员中,OsMGT1的上调表达可明显增加细胞中的Mg2+浓度,从而增强植株的耐铝胁迫能力[10]。结构分析显示,MGT蛋白序列的C-末端通常含有两个保守的疏水跨膜结构域(TM1和TM2)及位于TM1末端的三肽基序GMN(Gly-Met-Asn)[13]

2.3 进化分析

2.5 功能互补分析

为鉴定CpMGT1的Mg2+转运活性,将构建的重组质粒pTrc99A-CpMGT1转入MM281突变株中。功能互补实验显示,实验组和对照组在10 mmol/L Mg2+的平板上均可正常生长。然而,当培养基中的Mg2+浓度降低到5 mmol/L时,阴性对照未见生长,而实验组与阳性对照长势相当。随着Mg2+浓度的进一步降低,实验组和阳性对照的生长虽然都呈现减弱趋势,但是趋势相当,这表明CpMGT1是与AtMGT1活性相当的高亲和型Mg2+转运蛋白(图5)。

3 讨论

植物的生长发育依赖于根系所吸收的矿质营养元素,这些元素需通过质外体和共质体途径转移到地上部组织中,这一过程不仅需要蒸腾作用的驱动,还需要各种离子通道和转运体的运输,其中包括Mg2+转运蛋白[12]。在植物中,Mg2+转运蛋白由多个成员构成的基因家族MGT编码,如拟南芥中含有10个成员[18-22]、水稻中有9个成员[10,23]、玉米中有12个成员[13]、甘蔗中有10个成员[24]、香蕉中有10个成员[25]、油菜中有36个成员[26]。对拟南芥、水稻等模式植物的深入研究表明,MGT蛋白广泛参与了Mg2+吸收、转运及分区储藏[22]
本研究首次报道了一个隶属于MGT基因家族的番木瓜Mg2+转运蛋白基因CpMGT1,该基因编码443 aa、分子量为50.43 kDa、等电点为5.12,细胞膜定位。更重要的是,蛋白含有该家族特有Mrs2_Mfm1p-like或CorA(PFAM登陆号PF01544)结构域及位于C端疏水跨膜区TM1上的GMN基序。早前的研究表明,GMN基序为Mg2+转运所必需[4,13]。根据基因表达分析结果,CpMGT1总体为一组成型表达基因,其中在根、茎和果实中的表达量较高,暗示该基因可能在多个部位发挥Mg2+转运功能。根据进化分析结果,CpMGT1与拟南芥中AtMGT1和AtMGT2的亲缘关系较近,相似性高达80%以上,这不仅暗示它们之间的直系同源关系及类似的生物学功能,同时,该结果跟番木瓜与拟南芥同属十字花目的分类学关系是一致的[19]。前人的研究结果表明,AtMGT1AtMGT2均可互补沙门氏菌突变株MM281,且二者均编码高亲和型Mg2+转运蛋白[7,12]。AtMGT1定位于细胞质膜,具有较高的组织特异性,主要在根部和表皮中表达;基因表达受Al3+诱导,其过量表达可增强转基因植株对铝毒的抗性[27-29]。AtMGT2定位于液泡膜,主要在幼嫩叶片中发挥Mg2+转运功能[12],并与AtMGT3共同维持叶肉细胞中液泡的Mg2+平衡[20]。此外,有研究显示,AtMGT2还能互补Mg2+转运缺陷型酵母突变株CM66,并显著提高酵母的生长效率[19]。与进化结果相应的是,CpMGT1的异源过表达可互补MM281突变株,并显著提高工程菌在低Mg2+浓度下的生长速率,这初步证实CpMGT1编码一个高亲和的Mg2+转运蛋白,且其活性与AtMGT1相当。虽然如此,CpMGT1具体是如何调控Mg2+平衡的分子机制还有待深入研究。
综上,本研究完成了番木瓜CpMGT1基因的克隆及序列特征、进化关系、表达模式和Mg2+转运活性分析。这些结果不仅为进一步揭示番木瓜MGT基因在不同组织特别是在果实中Mg2+的积累机制奠定了坚实的基础,也为今后的品种改良提供了宝贵的资源。
