Abstract:

In the present study,a PG gene BcPG17 and its promoter were cloned from Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis Makino‘Aijiaohuang’inbred-line Bcajh97-01. Gene expression and promoter activity were explored by qRT-PCR,in situ hybridization and transient transformation of promoter-GUS fusion. The genomic DNA fragment of BcPG17 was 2 015 bp in length,containing nine exons and eight introns. The ORF of BcPG17 was 1 344 bp in length,encoding 447 amino acids. The predicted molecular weight and the theoretical pI of BcPG17 were 48.61 kD and 8.39,respectively. The protein contained a transmembrane domain with a signal peptide sequence at the N-terminus,indicating that the protein may be associated with the cell membrane. Analysis of the amino acid sequence indicated the presence of four typical domains of PG protein,closely relating to other species of Brassica. The highest expression level of BcPG17 was found in the inflorescence stem during flowering,then to a less level in the tetrad stage and uninucleate microspore stage of pollen development. The results of in situ hybridization showed that BcPG17 had a strong signal in all tissues of inflorescence stems during flowering. The 1 442 bp promoter contained at least one cis-acting element related to meristem expression, multiple motifs or elements related to plant hormone response,and four anther-specific motifs,as well as two tapetum-degeneration- retardation(TDR)binding sites. Moreover,transient expression of the promoter-GUS showed strong signal in the second internode and node of the inflorescence stem during flowering,and there was also a significant GUS signal in the anthers in the middle development stage of flower. The above results illustrated that the BcPG17 may regulate the elongation of the inflorescence stem by interacting with other proteins,presumably related to plant hormone metabolism,and it may be involved in the development of the pollen wall by the regulation of TDR protein.
