    摘要:

    控制水稻胚乳直链淀粉合成的 Wx 基因是决定稻米蒸煮食味品质的主效基因。适当降低稻米的直链淀粉含量可显著提高稻米蒸煮食味品质。编辑 Wx 基因编码的 GBSSI 蛋白 C 末端非关键位点有望微调其酶活性和胚乳直链淀粉含量,进而改良稻米蒸煮食味品质。在未检测到关键结构域和位点的 Wx 基因 3′端设计靶位点 T1 和 T2(分别位于 Wx 基因第 12 和 第 13 外显子),利用 CRISPR/Cas9 技术进行编辑。通过 PCR 和测序筛选获得纯合突变株系,用表观直链淀粉含量测定、凝胶渗透色谱、Western Blot 和 qRT-PCR 等技术分析其对水稻胚乳直链淀粉合成和 Wx 基因表达的影响。共获得 8 种保留 GBSSI主要结构域的纯合突变系 C1~C8。其中,C2 和 C3 中推测翻译的 GBSSI 蛋白仅有第 518~550/551 位密码子发生移码;C1、C4~C8 中推测翻译的 GBSSI 蛋白分别从第 551 位和第 517/518 位密码子开始移码。C1~C8 米粉中表观直链淀粉含量显著降低,从野生型的 16.79% 下降到 3.69%~4.44%,但均稍高于含自然突变 wx 基因的糯稻近等基因系的 2.92%。GPC 结果显示,突变系中无直链淀粉合成,但其支链淀粉中长链(Ap2)的链长均长于糯稻近等基因系 wx。qRT-PCR 和 Western Blot 结果显示,C1~C8 发育种子中 Wx 基因的转录水平无显著变化,但除 C2 和 C3 有一定量 GBSSI 蛋白表达外,其他纯合系中均无GBSSI 蛋白表达。综上所述,本研究通过 CRISPR/Cas9 技术创建了淀粉精细结构略区别于常规糯稻的新型糯稻种质 C1~C8,为水稻品质改良提供了新种质。同时也证明 GBSSI 蛋白 C 末端第 518~551 位氨基酸对其酶活性的形成有重要影响。这些结果为进一步解析 GBSSI 蛋白的结构以实现其精准编辑提供了参考。

    Abstract:

    The Wx gene,which controls the synthesis of amylose in rice endosperm,is the major gene that determines rice eating and cooking quality(ECQ). It can significantly improve rice ECQ by moderately reducing amylose content(AC)of endosperm. Editing the C-terminal of Wx encoded GBSSI enzyme to fine-tune its enzyme activity and grain AC is expected to further improve rice ECQ. By analyzing the functional domain of GBSSI through bioinformatics websites,two target sites,T1 and T2(located in the 12th and 13th exons of the Wx gene,respectively),were subjected for CRISPR/Cas9-medicated editing. The homozygous mutants were validated by PCR and Sanger sequencing,followed by quantifying the apparent amylose content,gel-permation chromatography,western blot and qRT-PCR. A total of 8 homozygous lines,C1-C8,with retained major domains of GBSSI were obtained. Among which,the 518-550/551 codons were shifted in the predicted protein in C2 and C3 lines and the predicted protein in C1,C4-C8 were shifted after codon 551,517 or 518. The apparent amylose content of C1-C8 was significantly reduced from 16.79% to 4.44%-3.69%,but significantly higher than that of near-isogenic line(NIL)carrying the conventional wx allele(AAC=2.92%). GPC results showed that there was no amylose synthesis in the selected mutants,but their chain length distribution of Ap2 was longer than that in NIL wx. The qRT-PCR and western blot suggested no significant difference on transcript of Wx gene but obvious reduction of GBSSI accumulation in the developing seeds in mutants. No GBSSI accumulation was detected in all the homozygous lines except for C2 and C3. As a result,this study generated glutinous rice lines with fine-tuned starch fine structure to conventional glutinous rice by CRISPR strategy,and provided evidence of the 518-551 amino acids on the formation of GBSSI enzyme activity. These results provide a reference for further analyzing the structure of GBSSI protein to achieve its precise editing.
