谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶在植物响应盐胁迫中具有重要作用。依据盐芥EST序列进行RACE实验,获得1个新的谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶基因,命名为ThGPX6(GenBank注册号为FJ357244)。该基因的cDNA全长892bp,包含1个长为702bp的开放读码框.编码234个氨基酸。生物信息学分析表明,该蛋白具有植物GPX的典型结构,即GPX催化活性区(NVASKCGLT)和标志性基序(ILAFPCNQF),以及PHGPX特有序列(KwNF(S/T)KFL)。实时荧光定量PCR分析结果表明,ThGPX6在盐芥叶片和根中表达,其表达受NaCl诱导,显示ThGPX6在植物高盐响应中发挥作用。亚细胞定位结果表明,ThGPX6存在于线粒体和内体中的可能性最大,预示着ThGPX6在清除ROS过程中起着重要作用。
Glutathione nalysis on EST sequence of oxidase was discovered and cleotides,including a single peroxidase(GPX) plays an important role in response to salt stress in plant. Through the a- Thellungiella halophila, a novel gene exhibiting high homology with plant glutathione per- named as ThGPX6(GenBank accession number:F J357244). ThGPX6 consists of 892 nu- 702bp opening reading frame which encodes a 234-amino acid peptide. Bioinformatics a- nalysis showed that ThGPX6 had typical structures of GPX, such as catalysis region (NVASKCGLT), characteristic mo- tif(ILAFPCNQF) and PHGPX special sequence (KWNF (S/T)KFL). Quantitative real-time PCR analysis revealed that the gene expressed in shoot and root, and could be induced by NaC1 in T. halophila. These results showed that the ThGPX6 played a crucial role under salt stress in T. halophila. ThGPX6 is most likely localized in the mitochondria and endosome, suggesting importence of ThGPX6 in the process of cleaning ROS.
