超长链脂肪酸(VLCFAs)代谢在花药发育中发挥着重要的作用,而反式烯脂酰.CoA还原酶(trans-2,3-enoyl-CoAreductase,ECR)是催化超长链脂肪酸合成的脂肪酰。CoA延长酶之一。为进一步研究杀雄剂SQ-1诱导小麦雄性不育的机理,根据已报道二穗短柄草(Brachypodiumdistachyon)ECR基因,采用电子克隆获得序列并设计引物,从小麦(Triticumaestivum)中克隆ECR的开放阅读框cDNA序列,命名为TaECR,将该序列提交至GenBank,登录号为KC222053。序列分析表明,TaECR基因编码310个氨基酸,具有反式烯脂酰-CoA还原酶的经典结构域。表达分析表明,TaECR基因在小麦花药、颖片、叶和根中均有表达,其中在根中的表达量最底;与可育系相比,TaECR基因在生理型不育系三核期中表达急剧下调,在单核期和二核期表达趋势无显著变化,并与其蜡质积累量变化趋势基本一致,这表明TaECR基因调节的超长链脂肪合成途径可能参与了SQ-1诱导的败育过程。
Very-long-chain fatty acids(VLCFAs) play an important role in anther development. VLCFAs is catalyzed by the fatty acyl-CoA elongase, a membrane-bound enzymatic complex containing trans-2,3-enoyl- CoA reductase(ECR). To further study the mechanism of male sterility induced by gametocide SQ- 1 in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), primers were designed based on silicon cloning sequence of ECR gene sequences from Brachypodium distachyon, and the open reading frame of the cDNA were obtained, here as designated TaECR that had been registered under GenBank(No. KC222053).Sequence analysis showed the open reading frame of this gene putatively encoding 310 amino acids, and had classical domains of ECR. Analysis showed that 7)tECR was ubiquitously expressed in anther, glume, leaf and root in wheat, but it was less expressed in root. Compared with fertile lines, the expression levels of TaECR in the physiological male sterile line were much lower than those in fertile line in trinucleate stage, but it showed no significant difference in unicleate and binucleate stage, which very corresponded to trends of wax loads in the development of the anther. These results suggest that the pathway of very long chain fatty synthetic metabolism regulated by TaECR gene may participate in abortion process of sterile line induced by SQ-1.
