Description

Application of Pectin Methylesterase Inhibitor Gene GhPMEI39 and its
Encoded Protein in Plant Inflorescence Regulation
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to the field of plant performance gene regulation, in particular to the application of pectin methylesterase inhibitor gene
GhPMEI39 and its encoded protein in plant inflorescence regulation.
BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY
Vascular bundle is an important transport channel for plants, which is mainly composed of phloem and xylem cells. It is responsible for transporting water, inorganic salts, organic substances, various proteins and amino acids during plant development, thereby regulating vegetative and reproductive growth of plants. Previous studies have shown that CLE25 APL and other genes play important roles in regulating plant phloem initiation and development.
PMElIs are cell wall pectin methylesterase inhibitors, which play important roles in regulating cell wall toughness, permeability and biochemical properties, thereby affecting the various plant development such as seed germination, pathogen invasion, and the interaction with external factors.
HG is the most abundant pectin polymer. HG methyl esterification has a significant impact on the rheological properties of cell wall and plant development. Demethylated HG can be easily hydrolyzed by pectin-degrading enzymes {e.g., galactosidase), or by promoting the formation of intermolecular calcium bonds and the so-called egg box model structure to form rigid gels, which means that demethylated HG has a dual role. At the same time, HG methyl esterification can also hinder the establishment of calcium bridge and increase the flexibility of cell wall. The degree of methyl esterification (DM) of
HG is considered to be mediated by the reaction of pectin methylesterases (PME) and PME/invertase inhibitors (PMEI) through methyl transfer and release,
which forms a large plant sequence family, named PMEl-related proteins (PMEI-RP). It directly interacts through the indispensable hairpin motif.
Flowering is an important trait of plants, which is related to the yield of crops and the economic value of ornamental plants, but its specific regulatory mechanism is unclear.
In view of this, the invention is proposed.

Embodiment 1 1. Cloning of cotton pectin methylesterase inhibitory coding gene (GhPMEI39)
The GhPMEI39 cDNA is based on the total cDNA of cotton SDPA ovule of
China Cotton Research Institute 24 (ZM24), and 5'-
CACCATGGGAATTCTCTTGCCTCCT-3' (sense) and 5'-
TACAAACCTATCAACTATTCT-3' (antisense) are used as primers to obtain a 553bp gene sequence. (As shown in SEQ ID NO:1). The pENTR-GhPMEI39 entry clone is constructed by gateway and verified by sequencing. 2. Expression, purification and enzyme activity verification of GhPMEI39 protein in Escherichia coli (1) Prokaryotic induction and purification of GhPMEI39 protein
Using Infusion technology and pColdTF expression vector, the specific
PCR product of GhPMEI39 is amplified so that the 5’ and 3’ ends are the same sequences as the two ends of the linearized vector (BamHI/ECORI double- enzyme digestion linearization). pColdTF-GhPMEI39 recombinant plasmid is obtained by referring to Ultra One Step Cloning Kit (Vazyme, Cat. #115-02) seamless cloning method and it contains 6xHis-Tag tag. The pColdTF-
GhPMEI39 recombinant plasmid is transformed into Escherichia coli BL21{DE3) competent cells. The transformed cells are activated and cultured in Luria-
Bertani (LB) medium containing 50 pg/ml ampicillin. When the cell density at 600nm (OD600) reaches 0.4-0.6, the final concentration of 0.5mM IPTG is added to LB medium. After overnight incubation at 16°C, the cells are centrifuged at 5000g for 10mins at 4°C, and the pelleted cells are resuspended in binding buffer (50mM Tris-HCI, 150mM NaCl, pH7.5). The suspension is sonicated, and the lysate is centrifuged at 12,000 g for 10 mins at 4°C.
Referring to the purification method of Ni SepharoseTM6 Fast Flow (GE
Healthcare, Cat. #11-0008-87), the supernatant is added to the his-binding column with nickel, and the column solution is collected and washed with 30 mM, 50 mM and 100 mM imidazole, respectively. Remove the buffer to elute the target protein, and collect the eluate. The purification effect detected by
SDS-PAGE is shown in Figure 1.

In order to obtain the crude extract of PME, 1 g of A. thaliana stems (1 month) is grinded with liquid nitrogen and dissolved in 1 mL of extraction buffer (PBSpH7.4, 1 M NaCl) to form homogenate. After placing on ice for 1 h (three times of up-down mixing), the homogenate is centrifuged at 11000 g for 10 min, repeat once, and the supernatant is collected and stored in ice. Protein concentration is measured by NanoDrop2000 spectrophotometer (Thermo
Science, USA). PMEI purified protein and PME crude extract are placed in 25 °C water bath for 30 mins before enzyme activity assay. The mixture of reaction solution is added to each reaction tube, including 1 mL of 0.5 % (w/v) pectin, 400 pL of 0.01 % bromothymol blue, 1.50 mL of distilled water (mixture pH=7.5), and then 100 pl of different proportions of PME: GhPMEI39purified protein mixture (1:0, 1:0.5, 1:1 and 1:2) are added. The mixture is heated at 30 °C for 16 h to detect the OD value of the reactants at the wavelength of 620 nm. The calculation method is to calculate the AOD value of different proportions of PME: PMEI reactants within 1 s. In this experiment, pColdTF empty-cvector-induced protein is used as theinternal control. The results are shown in Figure 2. As the ratio of PME:GhPMEI39 changes from 1:0 to 1:2, the
PME enzyme activity in the corresponding reaction solution also decreases from 100% to 24%, while the PME activity in the negative control pColdTF empty vector induced protein did not change, indicating that GhPMEI39 protein has the ability to inhibit PME activity.
In Fig. 2, the crude protein of pColdTF-GhPMEI39 or empty vector (pColdTF-, EV) is extracted from Escherichia coli BL21 cells expressing pColdTF-GhPMEI39 or empty vector (pColdTF, EV) by IPTG induction.

Arabidopsis stems to purified protein extracted from Escherichia coli BL21 pColdTF-GhPMEI39 or empty vector pColdTF. The white column represents the reaction solution of PME: pColdTF-GhPMEI39, and the black column represents the reaction solution of PME: pColdTF-. 3. Subcellular localization analysis of GhPMEI39 protein
The construction of the vector pCAMBIA2300: GhPMEI39: YFP, the
GhPMEI39 CDS PCR product is cloned into the upstream of the Kpn1/Asc1
YFP (yellow fluorescent protein) gene, and the GhPMEI39: YFP fusion protein is generated and transferred into GV3101 Agrobacterium. 35S:GhPMEI39: YFP overexpression transgenic Arabidopsis is obtained by Floral-dip method. The
Arabidopsis thaliana-positive seedlings grown for 4 days and the roots of WT are used as the observation objects, and are observed by LSM 510 laser confocal scanning microscope. Green (YFP) is GhPMEI39 protein localization, and red (FM4-64, cell membrane dye) is fluorescently labeled for the cell membrane (Figure 3). The results of the study are shown in the figure below.
The GhPMEI39 protein is located between the cell wall and the cell membrane, which is an exocrine protein.

Embodiment 2 1. Construction of overexpressed GhPMEI39 vector
GhPMEI39 cDNA fragment is cloned into the target vector PGWB2 (CaMV 358 promoter) by using pENTR-GhPMEI39 and Gateway LR reaction. 355:GhPMEI39 overexpression transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana is obtained by
Floral-dip method after pGWB2-GhPMEI39 Ti plasmid is transformed into
Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain GV3101. 2. DNA extraction and detection of GhPMEI39 expression in transgenic
Arabidopsis thaliana
A total of 12 transgenic plants of GhPMEI39 are obtained, and DNA of 10 transgenic and WT plants are extracted. DNA is amplified by primers
CaMV3585 -AACACGGGGGACTCTAGA-3 (sense) and GhPMEI395' -
TACAAACCTATCAACTATTCT-3 (antisense), and 12 transgenic plants of
GhPMEI39 shows bands (Figure 4A). The expression levels of GhPMEI39 in 9
Arabidopsis thaliana stems are detected. Compared with the negative control
WT, the expression levels of 6 transgenic plants are up-regulated (Figure 4B, 4C).
In Figure 4, A represents the DNA identification figure of twelve
GhPMEI3%transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana, B and C represent the semi- quantitative RNA expression level of GhPMEI39 transgenic Arabidopsis plants and the qRT-PCR identification results respectively, and Bar value represents the standard deviation of three repetitive PCRs. 3. Phenotype observation of GhPMEI39 transgenic Arabidopsis
Further, three lines of GhPMEI39-5, 8, and 9 are selected to obtain single- copy homozygotes for phenotypic observation. The results are shown in Figure 5. In Figure 5, A represents the phenotype of GhPMEI3S0E-5, 8, 9 transgenic
Arabidopsis thaliana and WT plants, B- E represent the primary inflorescence, flower bud, the first rosette leaf and the main stem respectively. F is the silique phenotype of transgenic and WT Arabidopsis.
According to the observation of the three transgenic lines and WT plants, it is found that the phloem cellss of the main stem and rosette leaves in the overexpression GhPMEI39 transgenic plants increases (Fig. 5A, 5D, 5E). More importantly, due to the overexpression of GhPMEI39 gene, the inflorescence of the primary main stem of Arabidopsis thaliana changes from raceme to umbel, and the number of buds also increases significantly (Fig. 5A-5C), which leads to the simultaneous production of two or even three silique phenotypes at a pod growth point on the main stem at the same time (Fig. 5F). 4. Overexpression of GhPMEI39 causes an increase in the number of vascular tissue cells in the first rosette leaf and primary stem of Arabidopsis thaliana.
In order to explore the reasons for the increase of transverse diameter of leaves and main stem of GhPMEI39 transgenic lines, the vascular tissue structure of main stem and rosette leaves of over-expression GhPMEI39 transgenic plants OE-5,8,9 and WT plants are observed by paraffin section.
The results are shown in Figure 8. In Figure 6, A represents the cross-section of thefirst rosette leaf of the transgenic lines and WT plant and t, B is the enlarged view of the vascular tissue in Figure A, and C is the vascular tissue of main stem in the WT and OE lines. D is the single vascular tissue in C diagram, E is the number of phloem cells in the first rosette leaf, the total number of vascular tissues in primary inflorescence and the total number of phloem is also calculated statistically in GhPMEI39 transgenic Arabidopsis and wild-type plants. wherein n=6.
Due to the overexpression of GhPMEI39, the number of phloem cells in the first rosette leaf increases from 69 of WT to 108, 117, 121 of OE lines (Fig. 6A, 6B, 6E). At the same time, the number of vascular tissues in the primary stem also increases from 6 — 8 of WT to 12 — 15 of OE transgenic materials, and the number of phloem cells in a single vascular tissue also increases significantly, from 330 of WT to 1079 — 1181in OE lines (Fig. 6C, 6D, 6E). 5. Increased Methylation Degree (DM) in primary stem of GhPMEI39 overexpressing Arabidopsis thalianaByimmuno-observation of cross-sections of primary stem vascular tissue of three OE lines and WT Arabidopsis plants with two pectin antibodies LM19 and LM20 representing different degrees of methylesterification, it is found that in the OE line, LM19 fluorescencerepresenting a low methyl ester pectin was weak, and the high methyl ester pectin label LM20 was stronger, while WT showed the opposite trend (Figure 7). In Figure 7, LM19 represents low methyl ester pectin, while
LM20 represents high methyl ester pectin, Bar=300 um in all images.
The results show that the content of methylated pectin is higher in the OE line, that is, the methylated degree (DM) of primary stem of GhPMEI39 overexpression Arabidopsis increases.
Embodiment 3 1. Construction of GhPMEI39 transgenic cotton
GhPMEI39 cDNA fragment is cloned into the target vector pGWB2 (CaMV35S promoter) by using pENTR-GhPMEI39 and GatewayLR reaction.
The pGWB2 - GhPMEI39 Ti plasmid is transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404, and the hypocotyls of 7 - day ZM24 sterile cotton seedlings (5 - day dark treatment and 2 - day light) are used as explants for immersion cultivation to obtain transgenic overexpression cotton. 2. DNA extraction and detection of GhPMEI39 expression
The plant genomic DNA extraction kit (Bioteke, Cat#DP3112) is used to extract the genomic DNA of the young leaves of all the quasi-transgenic and
ZM24 cottons obtained from tissue culture. DNA is used as a template, and
CAMV35S-F :5 '-AACACGGGGGactcTAGa-3' (Sense) and GHPMEI39-R :5 -
TacaaaccTATCAactATTCT-3' (Antisense) are used for PCR amplification. The expression level of the plants with 562 bp fragment detected by gel is further detected.
In order to determine the expression level of GhPMEI39 in transgenic and wild-type cotton plants, the 5 DPA ovules of transgenic GhPME/39 and wild-type
ZM24 cotton are collected from 8:00 to 9:00 a.m, soaked in liquid nitrogen and stored in a refrigerator at -80 °C, or it is immediately ground and RNA is isolated from all samples according to the instructions of polysaccharide polyphenol plant total RNA extraction kit (Tiangen, Cat. # DP441). Invitrogen (Cat. # 18080- 093) is used to reverse transcription about 1ug total RNA to obtain cDNA.
GhUBQ7 (DQ116441) is used as the reference gene by qRT-PCR. The primers are 5 -CCCGAAACCTGCATAAAATG-3' (sense) and 5 -
GCGATCAAATTGGTTTTCGT-3 (antisense).
The 5 DPA ovules of transgenic and wild-type cotton stored at -80 °C are removed and ground into powder in liquid nitrogen, then add protein extract (150mM NaCl; 1M Tris-HCI, pH = 7.5; 0.1% NP40; 0.1% TritonX-100). After fully mixing, place it on ice for 30 mins. Then it is centrifuged at 12000g for 30mins at 4°C, and the supernatant is collected. GhPMEI39 polyclonal antibody is produced by Shanghai Youke Company. Westernblotting experiment is carried out according to previous reports.
A total of 146 GhPMEI39-overexpression transgenic cotton plants are obtained, and the DNA of all transgenic and WT plants is extracted. The DNA is amplified and detected by using CaMV35S5 -AACACGGGGGACTCTAGA-3' (sense) and GhPMEI39 - R:5' -TACAAACCTATCAACTATTCT-3 (antisense) as primers. As shown in Fig. 8, a total of 10 over-expression transgenic GhPMEI39 cotton lines show bands.
By detecting the expression of GhPME/39 in the 5 DPA ovules (RNA in Fig. 8), compared with the negative control WT, the expression of all transgenic plants is up-regulated. Randomly select five lines of GhPMEI39-8, 9, 13, 15, and 17 with low, medium and high expression levels of SDPA ovule proteins, and perform western blot detection with GhPMEI39 autoprotein antibody. It is found that compared with WT, four strains GhPMEI39-9, 13 ‚15,17 protein levels are also up-regulated (Protein in Fig. 8), indicating that these four lines are indeed transgenic GhPME/39 overexpressing plants. 3. Phenotypic analysis of the transgenic plants
By observing the vegetative growth and reproductive growth stages of three transgenic lines and ZM24 plants, it is found that the vegetative growth of
OE-13,15,17 transgenic plants with overexpression of GhPMEI39 is not different from that of ZM24. However, in the reproductive growth stage, overexpression of GhPMEI39 promotes the appearance of flower bud clusters in fruiting branches (Figure 9A, 9B), and flower bud clusters could further develop into flowers and even mature bolls (Figure 9C). Meanwhile, the observation on the structures of three OE lines and ZM24 fruiting branches shows that overexpression of GhPMEI39 can promote the development of phloem in fruiting branches (Fig. 9D).
In Figure 9, A is the whole plant phenotype of ZM24 and GhPMEI39 transgenic cotton lines OE-13,15,17 in the bud stage from left to right. B is the magnifying figure of bud differentiation of different lines in Figure A. Fig. C is the vascular tissue structure observation of ZM24 and OE branches and stems, wherein bar = 600 um. Fig. D is the bolls and mature fiber formed by transgenic line andZM24.
Based on the above studies, it is found that the overexpression of
GhPMEI39 promotes the development of plant vascular tissues, especially the development of phloem, thereby changing inflorescence differentiation and inflorescence characteristics.
Wherein, DPA is the abbreviation of days post anthesis, which means the number of days after flowering.
