Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Pattern Analysis of BAHD Acyltransferase Family in Taxus mairei.

ABSTRACT: BAHD acyltransferases are involved in catalyzing and regulating the secondary metabolism in plants. Despite this, the members of BAHD family and their functions have not been reported in the Taxus species. In this study, a total of 123 TwBAHD acyltransferases from Taxus wallichiana var. mairei genome were identified and divided into six clades based on phylogenetic analysis, of which Clade VI contained a Taxus-specific branch of 52 members potentially involved in taxol biosynthesis. Most TwBAHDs from the same clade shared similar conserved motifs and gene structures. Besides the typical conserved motifs within the BAHD family, the YPLAGR motif was also conserved in multiple clades of T. mairei. Moreover, only one pair of tandem duplicate genes was found on chromosome 1, with a Ka/Ks ratio < 1, indicating that the function of duplicate genes did not differentiate significantly. RNA-seq analysis revealed different expression patterns of TwBAHDs in MeJA induction and tissue-specific expression experiments. Several TwBAHD genes in the Taxus-specific branch were highly expressed in different tissues of T. mairei, suggesting an important role in the taxol pathway. This study provides comprehensive information for the TwBAHD gene family and sets up a basis for its potential functions.

Project description:The LOX genes have been identified and characterized in many plant species, but studies on the banana LOX genes are very limited. In this study, we respectively identified 18 MaLOX, 11 MbLOX, and 12 MiLOX genes from the Musa acuminata, M. balbisiana and M. itinerans genome data, investigated their gene structures and characterized the physicochemical properties of their encoded proteins. Banana LOXs showed a preference for using and ending with G/C and their encoded proteins can be classified into 9-LOX, Type I 13-LOX and Type II 13-LOX subfamilies. The expansion of the MaLOXs might result from the combined actions of genome-wide, tandem, and segmental duplications. However, tandem and segmental duplications contribute to the expansion of MbLOXs. Transcriptome data based gene expression analysis showed that MaLOX1, 4, and 7 were highly expressed in fruit and their expression levels were significantly regulated by ethylene. And 11, 12 and 7 MaLOXs were found to be low temperature-, high temperature-, and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Cubense tropical race 4 (FocTR4)-responsive, respectively. MaLOX8, 9 and 13 are responsive to all the three stresses, MaLOX4 and MaLOX12 are high temperature- and FocTR4-responsive; MaLOX6 and MaLOX17 are significantly induced by low temperature and FocTR4; and the expression of MaLOX7 and MaLOX16 are only affected by high temperature. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis revealed that the expression levels of several MaLOXs are regulated by MeJA and FocTR4, indicating that they can increase the resistance of banana by regulating the JA pathway. Additionally, the weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) of MaLOXs revealed 3 models respectively for 5 (MaLOX7-11), 3 (MaLOX6, 13, and 17), and 1 (MaLOX12) MaLOX genes. Our findings can provide valuable information for the characterization, evolution, diversity and functionality of MaLOX, MbLOX and MiLOX genes and are helpful for understanding the roles of LOXs in banana growth and development and adaptations to different stresses.
