摘要

摘要: 目的分析ZmCOL3基因编码蛋白的结构及功能，预测ZmCOL3基因可能具备的功能，为该基因在玉米开花调控及其他功能的研究提供思路。方法通过生物信息学的方法对ZmCOL3基因编码蛋白质的理化性质、保守结构域、二级结构、三级结构、信号肽、跨膜结构域、亚细胞定位及启动子顺式作用元件进行了预测，并对该基因在玉米不同组织的表达量进行了分析。结果 ZmCOL3基因所编码的蛋白包含335个氨基酸，相对分子质量为35.39 kD，理论等电点为5.04，属于酸性蛋白，具有亲水性和不稳定性，含有1个CCT结构域和1个B-box结构域，没有信号肽和跨膜结构域，主要定位在细胞核中，其二级结构主要是由无规则卷曲组成，其次是α螺旋，还含有少量的延伸链和β转角，同源建模相似度为64.15%，该基因的启动子不仅含有TATA-box、CAAT-box启动子基本的顺式作用元件，还含有Sp1等光响应作用元件，以及脱落酸、茉莉酸甲酯等激素响应元件。在玉米的种子、初生根、节间、叶、雌穗和雄穗等6个部位中，叶片中ZmCOL3基因的表达量最高，其次是雄穗，在种子中该基因表达量最低，总体上看ZmCOL3基因在叶片中的表达量显著高于其他部位。结论 ZmCOL3蛋白是一个亲水、不稳定的酸性蛋白，其含有CCT结构域和B-box结构域，符合CCT基因家族中COL亚家族的结构特征，属于该家族成员，可能参与生物钟的调控来影响玉米开花。启动子顺式作用元件分析发现ZmCOL3基因的启动子包含光响应及各种激素响应元件，推断该基因可能受到光周期调控和激素等非生物胁迫调控，暗示其可在多重反应调控网络中发挥作用。

Abstract: Objective Functions of ZmCOL3 involving the flowering regulation and other mechanisms in maize were investigated by analyzing the structure and functions of the protein encoded by the gene. Method Based on bioinformatics, the physicochemical properties, conserved domain, secondary and tertiary structures, signal peptide, transmembrane domain, subcellular localization, and cis acting elements of ZmCOL3 protein were predicted. Expression of the gene in various organs of a maize plant were analyzed. Result The ZmCOL3-encoded protein contained 335 amino acids with a molecular weight of 35.39 KD and a theoretical isoelectric point of 5.04. It was an unstable acidic, hydrophilic protein located primarily in the nucleus and consisted of a CCT domain and a B-box domain but no signal peptide or transmembrane domain. Its secondary structure was mostly irregular coils with some α helixes and a small number of extended chains and β turns. The homology modeling similarity was 64.15%. The promoter of ZmCOL3 gene not only contained the basic cis acting elements, such as TATA and CAAT boxes, but also light response elements, such as SP1, as well as hormone response elements, such as abscisic acid and methyl jasmonate. In various tissues, the leaves, followed by the male ears, had the highest and significantly higher expression of ZmCOL3 than the primary roots, internodes, or tassels, while and the seeds the lowest. Conclusion The unstable acidic, hydrophilic ZmCOL3 protein contained CCT and B-box domains consistent with the structural characteristics of COL subfamily in the CCT gene family of which it belonged. It was postulated to participate in the regulation of biological clock that affects maize florescence. The promoter of ZmCOL3 gene contained the elements responding to light and various hormones that suggested a possible involvement on the multiple response network regulating the photoperiod and abiotic stress of a maize plant.
