摘要: 溶血磷脂酸酰基转移酶(lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase,LPAT)催化溶血磷脂酸(lysophosphatidic acid,LPA)sn-2位酰基化形成磷脂酸(phosphatidic acid,PA),是油脂合成过程中的关键限速酶之一。牡丹(Paeonia suffruticosa)是新型木本油料,研究其LPAT基因家庭的进化和表达模式,对进一步探索牡丹种子中油脂合成的规律具有重要意义。本研究从不同时期的牡丹中克隆了PoLPAT2基因,并利用生物信息学方法对其理化性质、系统进化、基因结构和表达模式等进行了分析。结果表明,PoLPAT2的CDS长为1 194 bp,编码397个氨基酸,由20种氨基酸组成,定位于质膜上。蛋白质的相对分子质量为44.82 ku,分子式为C2065H3235N541O544S15,共有6 400个原子,理论等电点为9.67,磷酸化位点为37个,拥有较高的脂肪族性质,属于亲水蛋白,跨膜区域为3个,没有信号肽,不平衡指数为43.68,属于不稳定蛋白。蛋白质结构预测表明,PoLPAT2蛋白由4种二级结构组成,分别是无规卷曲、α螺旋、β转角和延伸链。系统发育分析结果显示,牡丹PoLPAT2与圆叶葡萄、核桃的亲缘关系最近。qRT-PCR结果表明,该基因在牡丹种子发育后期105 d时表达量最高,整体趋势呈先降低后升高趋势,表明PoLPAT2可能与发育时期有关。研究结果可为牡丹PoLPAT2基因的功能验证、提高牡丹种子含油量提供参考。

Abstract:

Lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase (LPAT) catalyzes the acylation of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) at the sn-2 position to form phosphatidic acid (PA), which is one of the key rate-limiting enzymes in oil synthesis. Peony (Paeonia suffruticosa) is an emerging woody oil plant. Studying the evolution and expression patterns of the peony LPAT gene family is of great significance for further exploring the mechanisms of oil synthesis in peony seeds. In this study, we cloned the PoLPAT2 gene from peony seeds and analyzed its physicochemical properties, phylogenetic relationships, gene structure, and expression patterns using bioinformatics methods. The results showed that the coding sequence length of PoLPAT2 was 1 194 bp, encoding 397 amino acids, consisting of 20 different amino acids, and located on the plasma membrane. The relative molecular weight of the protein is 44.82 ku, with a molecular formula of C2065H3235N541O544S15, a total of 6 400 atoms, a theoretical isoelectric point of 9.67. It contains 37 phosphorylation sites and exhibits high aliphatic properties. Classified as a hydrophilic protein, it possesses 3 transmembrane regions, lacks signal peptides, and has an instability index of 43.68, indicating it is an unstable protein. Protein structure prediction indicates that PoLPAT2 protein consists of four secondary structures, namely irregular coil, alpha helix, beta helix, and elongation chain. Phylogenetic analysis show that PoLPAT2 in peony is most closely related to homologs in grapes and walnuts. qRT-PCR results showed that the expression level of this gene was peaked at 105 d post-late seed development, and the overall trend showed a decrease followed by an increase, indicating that PoLPAT2 may be related to the stage of seed development. This findings provide reference for the functional verification of the PoLPAT2 gene and the improvement of oil content in peony seeds.
