巴西橡胶树去泛素化酶UCHs基因的克隆及功能分析

Cloning and Functional Analysis of Deubiquitinating Enzyme Gene UCHs from Hevea brasiliensis

  • 摘要: 为探究去泛素化酶中泛素羧基末端水解酶(UCHs)在巴西橡胶树乳管泛素化过程中发挥的潜在功能,从巴西橡胶树中成功分离2个UCHs家族成员(HbUCH-L3和HbUCH-L5)的全长序列,开放阅读框分别长993、558 bp,编码330、185个氨基酸,具有典型的UCHs结构域;qRT-PCR结果表明HbUCH-L3和HbUCH-L5在各组织中均有表达,且在胶乳中表达丰度较低;HbUCHs重组蛋白的体外泛素化底物切割试验表明,HbUCH-L3和HbUCH-L5均具有水解泛素的功能。HbUCHs显著降低C乳清中总蛋白整体泛素化水平,且HbUCH-L3去泛素化酶活性高于HbUCH-L5。由此推测橡胶树UCHs在乳管中参与维持泛素化动态平衡进而发挥其特定的生物学功能,但具体的作用及调控机制尚不清楚。

     

    Abstract: To investigate the potential function of ubiquitin carboxyl terminal hydrolases(UCHs) in the ubiquitination process of laticiferous of Hevea brasiliensis, the full-length sequences of two UCHs family members(HbUCH-L3 and HbUCH-L5) were isolated from Hevea brasiliensis, and both had typical UCHs domains. The open reading frame of HbUCH-L3 and HbUCH-L5 were 993 bp and 558 bp, and encoded 330 and 185 amino acids, respectively. The results of qRT-PCR showed that HbUCH-L3 and HbUCH-L5 were constitutively expressed in all tissues, but was low in latex. In vitro ubiquitination substrates cleavage of recombinant HbUCHs showed that both HbUCH-L3 and HbUCH-L5 had the function of hydrolyzing ubiquitin.HbUCHs significantly reduced the overall ubiquitination level of C-serum proteins; while, the deubiquitinating activity of HbUCH-L3 was higher than that of HbUCH-L5. Therefore, it was speculated that UCHs played a role in maintaining the dynamic balance of laticiferous ubiquitination and thus played a specific biological function, but the exact mechanism was still unclear.
