摘要:

花青苷是决定柑橘果实着色的重要次生代谢物,受环境信号与多层级调控网络共同调控。以血橙果实为材料,克隆获得CsBBX20,阅读框长609 bp,编码202个氨基酸,含有2个高度保守的B-box结构域。在光照情况下,CsBBX20超量表达苹果愈伤系花青苷积累显著增加,而野生型苹果愈伤株系仅微量积累;在黑暗情况下,CsBBX20超表达系和野生型苹果愈伤均不积累花青苷。CsBBX20可直接结合CsF3’H、CsDFR、CsRuby1、CsHY5启动子并显著激活其表达,且CsBBX20与光信号关键因子CsHY5存在蛋白—蛋白互作,两者共表达对CsRuby1的激活效应显著增强。综上,CsBBX20可直接激活花青苷代谢关键基因,并与CsHY5形成复合体协同调控靶基因表达,促进光照条件下柑橘果实花青苷积累。

Abstract:

Anthocyanins are important secondary metabolites responsible for citrus fruit coloration,and their accumulation is regulated by environmental signals and multilayered regulatory networks. In this study,CsBBX20 was cloned from blood orange fruit. The open reading frame of CsBBX20 is 609 bp,encoding a protein of 202 amino acids. Sequence analysis showed that CsBBX20 contains two highly conserved B-box domains. Functional analysis revealed that anthocyanin accumulation was significantly increased in CsBBX20-overexpressing apple calli under light conditions,whereas only trace amounts of anthocyanins accumulated in wild-type calli. However,under dark conditions,neither CsBBX20-overexpressing lines nor wild-type calli accumulated anthocyanins. Further biochemical analyses demonstrated that CsBBX20 can directly bind to the promoters of CsF3’H,CsDFR,CsRuby1,and CsHY5,and significantly activate their expression. Moreover,CsBBX20 physically interacts with the light signaling regulator CsHY5,and their co-expression markedly enhances the activation of CsRuby1. Taken together,CsBBX20 directly activates key genes involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis and forms a complex with CsHY5 to coordinately regulate the expression of target genes,thereby promoting anthocyanin accumulation in citrus fruit under light conditions.
