蔗糖合成酶(SUS,sucrose synthase)在植物的生长发育、非生物胁迫响应及品质形成中起着至关重要的作用。为了探究枸杞(Lycium barbarum)中SUS基因(LbaSUS)表达对果实可溶性糖积累的影响,采用生物信息学方法鉴定LbaSUS基因家族成员,进而系统分析其编码蛋白的理化性质、基因结构、保守基序、系统发育关系及共线性特征;通过qRT-PCR技术,结合果实发育时期蔗糖含量变化,分析SUS基因家族成员表达和蔗糖含量相关性。理化性质与亚细胞定位预测显示,从枸杞基因组中共鉴定获得6个SUS基因,编码蛋白的氨基酸长度范围在739~918 aa之间,主要定位在细胞质中,且非均匀分布在5条染色体上。系统发育分析结果表明,LbaSUS基因家族成员可划分为3个亚家族,即SUS I、SUS II和SUS III;同一亚家族内成员的基因结构与保守基序组成高度保守。LbaSUS基因家族成员的启动子区域含有大量与植物生长发育、激素响应及逆境胁迫相关的顺式作用元件。荧光定量分析显示,LbaSUS1、LbaSUS5和LbaSUS6表达随着果实成熟逐渐降低,LbaSUS2和LbaSUS3表达先升高后下降,LbaSUS4表达无显著变化。亚细胞定位显示,LbaSUS3蛋白定位在叶绿体。相关性分析表明,LbaSUS3的表达量与蔗糖的含量呈显著正相关。研究结果为后续开展枸杞SUS基因功能研究奠定基础。
Sucrose synthase (SUS) plays a crucial role in plant growth and development, as well as in responses to abiotic stress and the formation of plant quality. To explore the effect of LbaSUS gene expression on soluble sugar accumulation in fruits, members of the LbaSUS gene family were identified using bioinformatic tools. The physicochemical properties, gene structure, conserved motifs, phylogeny and collinearity were systematically analyzed. The correlation between the expression of LbaSUS genes and soluble sugar content was further investigated via quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) combined with the dynamic changes in sucrose content during fruit development. Based on the prediction of physicochemical properties and subcellular localization, six LbaSUS genes were identified from the Lycium barbarum genome, encoding proteins ranging from 739 to 918 amino acids. These genes were unevenly distributed across five chromosomes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the LbaSUS gene family members can be divided into three subfamilies: SUS I, SUS II, and SUS III. Notably, the gene structures and conserved motif compositions of LbaSUS were highly conserved within the same subfamily. Additionally, the promoter regions of LbaSUS gene family members contain a large number of cis-acting elements associated with plant growth and development, hormone responses, and stress tolerance. qRT-PCR analysis indicated that the expression levels of LbaSUS1, LbaSUS5 and LbaSUS6 gradually decreased with fruit ripening; LbaSUS2 and LbaSUS3 exhibited an initial increase followed by a decline in expression, while LbaSUS4 expression showed no significant change during fruit development. Subcellular localization analysis indicated that LbaSUS3 protein is localized in the chloroplast. Correlation analysis demonstrated a significant positive correlation between LbaSUS3 expression level and sucrose content. Collectively, these findings provide a solid foundation for further functional analysis and characterization of SUS genes in Lycium barbarum.
