Abstract
大麦籽粒糊粉层层是植物激素调控基因表达的重要模型体系。在糊粉层细胞中, 萌发或早期幼苗发育所需的基因由赤霉素 (GA) 激活, 而与应激反应相关的基因则由脱落酸 (ABA) 激活。通过粒子轰击引入糊粉层细胞的基因构造, 可以对 GA 和 ABA 信号的机制进行审问, 并利用酶法测定结果的瞬态表达。报告了一种改进的协议, 部分自动化和简化了谷物均匀化步骤和酶的测定, 使吞吐量大大超过现有方法。采用全自动组织均质器进行谷物样品的均匀化, 用96井板系统进行 GUS (β glucuronidase) 测定。使用该协议的代表性结果表明, 磷脂酶 D 活性可以发挥重要作用, 激活HVA1基因表达的 ABA, 通过转录因子 TaABF1。
Introduction
大麦糊粉层层是植物激素调控基因表达研究的一个成熟的模型系统1。特别是, 一些需要发芽或早期幼苗发育的基因由赤霉素 (GA) 激活, 而与应激反应相关的基因则由脱落酸 (ABA) 激活。ga 和 aba 信号通路是交织在一起的, 因为一些 ga 激活基因的表达被 ABA 抑制, 反之亦然1。
了解特定行为者在 GA/ABA 信号中的作用的一个有价值的策略是通过粒子轰击引入效应基因构造, 接着是记者构造的瞬态表达, 从而使结果影响下游基因表达的确定。使用报告基因, 如GUS (β-glucuronidase) 或荧光素酶允许对基因表达式的敏感和定量测量, 特别是在接收到效应器结构的细胞内。例如, 引入了一个对转录因子 TaABF15,6编码的效应器构造, 它建立了 ABA 诱导的基因, 如HVA1是由 TaABF1 诱导的, 而 GA 诱导的基因, 如Amy32b被压抑。粒子轰击作为一种实验策略已被多个实验室用来研究遗传/ABA 信号的不同方面。这项工作已导致识别启动子元素重要的激活两个 GA 诱导的2和 ABA 诱导的基因3, 并发现蛋白激酶4和转录因子5 , 调节这些基因的表达。
现有协议2,3,4,5,6为粒子轰击和随后的瞬态基因表达测量是相当劳动密集型的, 因为每套轰炸在砂浆和杵中, 几乎没有谷物是均匀的, 酶的测定是单独进行的。这篇手稿报告了一个改进的协议, 部分自动化和优化均匀化步骤和 GUS 化验, 以允许大量的吞吐量, 允许更多的治疗在同一实验中测试, 和/或包含更多的复制, 每种治疗获得更有统计学意义的结果。代表的结果显示为HVA1和Amy32b报告器构造的表达式, 由转录因子 TaABF1 以及 GA、ABA 和其他调控分子调控。
Protocol
1. 效应器和报告基因构造的制备 构建使用本构启动子 (如玉米泛素, UBI) 的效应器构造, 以从所需的开放阅读框架中驱动表达式。例如, 构造一个包含UBI::TaABF1的质粒, 以驱动 TaABF15的强本构表达式。 生成包括要测量其活动的启动器的报告器结构, 放置在打开的阅读框架的上游, 如GUS。例如, 构造一个包含HVA1::GUS的质粒, 用于测量从HVA1?…

然而, 在大麦糊粉层单元格中进行此类实验的现有 协议2, 3, 4, 5, 6 是非常劳力密集.每组被轰击的颗粒必须在砂浆和杵中手…
