Genome-Wide Identification and Transcriptional Analysis of Arabidopsis DUF506 Gene Family.

ABSTRACT: The Domain of unknown function 506 (DUF506) family, which belongs to the PD-(D/E)XK nuclease superfamily, has not been functionally characterized. In this study, 266 DUF506 domain-containing genes were identified from algae, mosses, and land plants showing their wide occurrence in photosynthetic organisms. Bioinformatics analysis identified 211 high-confidence DUF506 genes across 17 representative land plant species. Phylogenetic modeling classified three groups of plant DUF506 genes that suggested functional preservation among the groups based on conserved gene structure and motifs. Gene duplication and Ka/Ks evolutionary rates revealed that DUF506 genes are under purifying positive selection pressure. Subcellular protein localization analysis revealed that DUF506 proteins were present in different organelles. Transcript analyses showed that 13 of the Arabidopsis DUF506 genes are ubiquitously expressed in various tissues and respond to different abiotic stresses and ABA treatment. Protein-protein interaction network analysis using the STRING-DB, AtPIN (Arabidopsis thaliana Protein Interaction Network), and AI-1 (Arabidopsis Interactome-1) tools indicated that AtDUF506s potentially interact with iron-deficiency response proteins, salt-inducible transcription factors, or calcium sensors (calmodulins), implying that DUF506 genes have distinct biological functions including responses to environmental stimuli, nutrient-deficiencies, and participate in Ca(2+) signaling. Current results provide insightful information regarding the molecular features of the DUF506 family in plants, to support further functional characterizations.

Genome-wide analysis of lipoxygenase gene family in Arabidopsis and rice.

Project description:The enzymes called lipoxygenases (LOXs) can dioxygenate unsaturated fatty acids, which leads to lipoperoxidation of biological membranes. This process causes synthesis of signaling molecules and also leads to changes in cellular metabolism. LOXs are known to be involved in apoptotic (programmed cell death) pathway, and biotic and abiotic stress responses in plants. Here, the members of LOX gene family in Arabidopsis and rice are identified. The Arabidopsis and rice genomes encode 6 and 14 LOX proteins, respectively, and interestingly, with more LOX genes in rice. The rice LOXs are validated based on protein alignment studies. This is the first report wherein LOXs are identified in rice which may allow better understanding the initiation, progression and effects of apoptosis, and responses to bitoic and abiotic stresses and signaling cascades in plants.

The phytocyanin gene family in rice (Oryza sativa L.): genome-wide identification, classification and transcriptional analysis.

Project description:BackgroundPhytocyanins (PCs) are plant-specific blue copper proteins involved in electron transport, and a large number of known PCs are considered to be chimeric arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs). To date there has not been a genome-wide overview of the OsPC gene family. Therefore, as the first step and a useful strategy to elucidate the functions of OsPCs, there is an urgent need for a thorough genome-wide analysis of this gene family.Methodology/principal findingsIn this study, a total of 62 OsPC genes were identified through a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis of the rice (Oryza sativa L.) genome. Based on phylogeny and motif constitution, the family of OsPCs was classified into three subclasses: uclacyanin-like proteins (OsUCLs), stellacyanin-like proteins (OsSCLs) and early nodulin-like proteins (OsENODLs). Structure and glycosylation prediction indicated that 46 OsPCs were glycosylphosphatigylinositol-anchored proteins and 38 OsPCs were chimeric AGPs. Gene duplication analysis revealed that chromosomal segment and tandem duplications contributed almost equally to the expansion of this gene family, and duplication events were mostly happened in the OsUCL subfamily. The expression profiles of OsPC genes were analyzed at different stages of vegetative and reproductive development and under abiotic stresses. It revealed that a large number of OsPC genes were abundantly expressed in the various stages of development. Moreover, 17 genes were regulated under the treatments of abiotic stresses.Conclusions/significanceThe genome-wide identification and expression analysis of OsPC genes should facilitate research in this gene family and give new insights toward elucidating their functions in higher plants.

Genome-Wide Identification and Transcriptional Analysis of the MYB Gene Family in Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum).

Project description:The MYB gene family widely exists in the plant kingdom and participates in the regulation of plant development and stress response. Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.), as one of the most important cereals, is not only considered a good source of protein and nutrients but also has excellent tolerances to various abiotic stresses (e.g., salinity, water deficit, etc.). Although the genome sequence of pearl millet was recently published, bioinformatics and expression pattern analysis of the MYB gene family are limited. Here, we identified 208 PgMYB genes in the pearl millet genome and employed 193 high-confidence candidates for downstream analysis. Phylogenetic and structural analysis classified these PgMYBs into four subgroups. Eighteen pairs of segmental duplications of the PgMYB gene were found using synteny analysis. Collinear analysis revealed pearl millet had the closest evolutionary relationship with foxtail millet. Nucleotide substitution analysis (Ka/Ks) revealed PgMYB genes were under purifying positive selection pressure. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR analysis of eleven R2R3-type PgMYB genes revealed they were preferentially expressed in shoots and seeds and actively responded to various environment stimuli. Current results provide insightful information regarding the molecular features of the MYB family in pearl millet to support further functional characterizations.

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of Pseudouridine Synthase Family in Arabidopsis and Maize.

Project description:Pseudouridine (Ψ), the isomer of uridine (U), is the most abundant type of RNA modification, which is crucial for gene regulation in various cellular processes. Pseudouridine synthases (PUSs) are the key enzymes for the U-to-Ψ conversion. However, little is known about the genome-wide features and biological function of plant PUSs. In this study, we identified 20 AtPUSs and 22 ZmPUSs from Arabidopsis and maize (Zea mays), respectively. Our phylogenetic analysis indicated that both AtPUSs and ZmPUSs could be clustered into six known subfamilies: RluA, RsuA, TruA, TruB, PUS10, and TruD. RluA subfamily is the largest subfamily in both Arabidopsis and maize. It's noteworthy that except the canonical XXHRLD-type RluAs, another three conserved RluA variants, including XXNRLD-, XXHQID-, and XXHRLG-type were also identified in those key nodes of vascular plants. Subcellular localization analysis of representative AtPUSs and ZmPUSs in each subfamily revealed that PUS proteins were localized in different organelles including nucleus, cytoplasm and chloroplasts. Transcriptional expression analysis indicated that AtPUSs and ZmPUSs were differentially expressed in various tissues and diversely responsive to abiotic stresses, especially suggesting their potential roles in response to heat and salt stresses. All these results would facilitate the functional identification of these pseudouridylation in the future.

Genome-Wide Identification and Transcriptional Expression of the METTL21C Gene Family in Chicken.

Project description:The chicken is a common type of poultry that is economically important both for its medicinal and nutritional values. Previous studies have found that free-range chickens have more skeletal muscle mass. The methyltransferase-like 21C gene (METTL21C) plays an important role in muscle development; however, there have been few reports on the role of METTL21C in chickens. In this study, we performed a genome-wide identification of chicken METTL21C genes and analyzed their phylogeny, transcriptional expression profile, and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). We identified 10 GgMETTL21C genes from chickens, 11 from mice, and 32 from humans, and these genes were divided into six groups, which showed a large amount of variation among these three species. A total of 15 motifs were detected in METTL21C genes, and the intron phase of the gene structure showed that the METTL21C gene family was conservative in evolution. Further, both the transcript data and qPCR showed that a single gene's (GgMETTL21C3) expression level increased with the muscle development of chickens, indicating that the METTL21C genes are involved in the development of chicken muscles. Our results provide some reference value for the subsequent study of the function of METTL21C.

Genome-wide identification and analysis of the TIFY gene family in grape.

Project description:BackgroundThe TIFY gene family constitutes a plant-specific group of genes with a broad range of functions. This family encodes four subfamilies of proteins, including ZML, TIFY, PPD and JASMONATE ZIM-Domain (JAZ) proteins. JAZ proteins are targets of the SCF(COI1) complex, and function as negative regulators in the JA signaling pathway. Recently, it has been reported in both Arabidopsis and rice that TIFY genes, and especially JAZ genes, may be involved in plant defense against insect feeding, wounding, pathogens and abiotic stresses. Nonetheless, knowledge concerning the specific expression patterns and evolutionary history of plant TIFY family members is limited, especially in a woody species such as grape.Methodology/principal findingsA total of two TIFY, four ZML, two PPD and 11 JAZ genes were identified in the Vitis vinifera genome. Phylogenetic analysis of TIFY protein sequences from grape, Arabidopsis and rice indicated that the grape TIFY proteins are more closely related to those of Arabidopsis than those of rice. Both segmental and tandem duplication events have been major contributors to the expansion of the grape TIFY family. In addition, synteny analysis between grape and Arabidopsis demonstrated that homologues of several grape TIFY genes were found in the corresponding syntenic blocks of Arabidopsis, suggesting that these genes arose before the divergence of lineages that led to grape and Arabidopsis. Analyses of microarray and quantitative real-time RT-PCR expression data revealed that grape TIFY genes are not a major player in the defense against biotrophic pathogens or viruses. However, many of these genes were responsive to JA and ABA, but not SA or ET.ConclusionThe genome-wide identification, evolutionary and expression analyses of grape TIFY genes should facilitate further research of this gene family and provide new insights regarding their evolutionary history and regulatory control.

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the cucumber PP2C gene family.

Project description:BackgroundType 2C protein phosphatase (PP2C) is a negative regulator of ABA signaling pathway, which plays important roles in stress signal transduction in plants. However, little research on the PP2C genes family of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), as an important economic vegetable, has been conducted.ResultsThis study conducted a genome-wide investigation of the CsPP2C gene family. Through bioinformatics analysis, 56 CsPP2C genes were identified in cucumber. Based on phylogenetic analysis, the PP2C genes of cucumber and Arabidopsis were divided into 13 groups. Gene structure and conserved motif analysis showed that CsPP2C genes in the same group had similar gene structure and conserved domains. Collinearity analysis showed that segmental duplication events played a key role in the expansion of the cucumber PP2C genes family. In addition, the expression of CsPP2Cs under different abiotic treatments was analyzed by qRT-PCR. The results reveal that CsPP2C family genes showed different expression patterns under ABA, drought, salt, and cold treatment, and that CsPP2C3, 11-17, 23, 45, 54 and 55 responded significantly to the four stresses. By predicting the cis-elements in the promoter, we found that all CsPP2C members contained ABA response elements and drought response elements. Additionally, the expression patterns of CsPP2C genes were specific in different tissues.ConclusionsThe results of this study provide a reference for the genome-wide identification of the PP2C gene family in other species and provide a basis for future studies on the function of PP2C genes in cucumber.

Genome-Wide Identification, Characterization and Expression Analysis of Soybean CHYR Gene Family.

Project description:The CHYR (CHY ZINC-FINGER AND RING FINGER PROTEIN) proteins have been functionally characterized in iron regulation and stress response in Arabidopsis, rice and Populus. However, their roles in soybean have not yet been systematically investigated. Here, in this study, 16 GmCHYR genes with conserved Zinc_ribbon, CHY zinc finger and Ring finger domains were obtained and divided into three groups. Moreover, additional 2-3 hemerythrin domains could be found in the N terminus of Group III. Phylogenetic and homology analysis of CHYRs in green plants indicated that three groups might originate from different ancestors. Expectedly, GmCHYR genes shared similar conserved domains/motifs distribution within the same group. Gene expression analysis uncovered their special expression patterns in different soybean tissues/organs and under various abiotic stresses. Group I and II members were mainly involved in salt and alkaline stresses. The expression of Group III members was induced/repressed by dehydration, salt and alkaline stresses, indicating their diverse roles in response to abiotic stress. In conclusion, our work will benefit for further revealing the biological roles of GmCHYRs.

Gibberellin Oxidase Gene Family in L. chinense: Genome-Wide Identification and Gene Expression Analysis.

Project description:GAox is a key enzyme for the transformation of gibberellins, and belongs to the 2-ketoglutarate dependent dioxygenase gene family (2ODD). However, a systematic analysis of GAox in the angiosperm L. chinense has not yet been reported. Here, we identified all LcGAox gene family members in L. chinense, which were classified into the three subgroups of GA20ox, C19GA2ox, and C20GA2ox. Comparison of the gene structure, conserve motifs, phylogenetic relationships, and syntenic relationships of gibberellin oxidase gene families in different species indicated that the gene functional differences may be due to the partial deletion of their domains during evolution. Furthermore, evidence for purifying selection was detected between orthologous GAox genes in rice, grape, Arabidopsis, and L. chinense. Analysis of the codon usage patterns showed that mutation pressure and natural selection might have induced codon usage bias in angiosperms; however, the LcGAox genes in mosses, lycophytes, and ambarella plants exhibited no obvious codon usage preference. These results suggested that the gibberellin oxidase genes were more primitive. The gene expression pattern was analyzed in different organs subjected to multiple abiotic stresses, including GA, abscisic acid (ABA), and chlormequat (CCC) treatment, by RNA-seq and qRT-PCR, and the stress- and phytohormone-responsive cis-elements were counted. The results showed that the synthesis and decomposition of GA were regulated by different LcGAox genes in the vegetative and reproductive organs of L. chinense, and only LcGA2ox1,4, and 7 responded to the NaCl, polyethylene glycol, 4 °C, GA, ABA, and CCC treatment in the roots, stems, and leaves of seedlings at different time periods, revealing the potential role of LcGAox in stress resistance.

Genome-Wide Identification and Transcriptional Analysis of AP2/ERF Gene Family in Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum).

Project description:The apetala2/ethylene response factor (AP2/ERF) gene family plays a crucial role in regulating plant growth and development and responding to different abiotic stresses (e.g., drought, heat, cold, and salinity). However, the knowledge of the ERF family in pearl millet remains limited. Here, a total of 167 high-confidence PgERF genes are identified and divided into five subgroups based on gene-conserved structure and phylogenetic analysis. Forty-one pairs of segmental duplication are found using collinear analysis. Nucleotide substitution analysis reveals these duplicated pairs are under positive purification, indicating they are actively responding to natural selection. Comprehensive transcriptomic analysis reveals that PgERF genesare preferentially expressed in the imbibed seeds and stem (tilling stage) and respond to heat, drought, and salt stress. Prediction of the cis-regulatory element by the PlantCARE program indicates that PgERF genes are involved in responses to environmental stimuli. Using reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR), expression profiles of eleven selected PgERF genes are monitored in various tissues and during different abiotic stresses. Transcript levels of each PgERF gene exhibit significant changes during stress treatments. Notably, the PgERF7 gene is the only candidate that can be induced by all adverse conditions. Furthermore, four PgERF genes (i.e., PgERF22, PgERF37, PgERF88, and PgERF155) are shown to be involved in the ABA-dependent signaling pathway. These results provide useful bioinformatic and transcriptional information for understanding the roles of the pearl millet ERF gene family in adaptation to climate change.
