Molecular Cloning, Expression Patterns and Characterization of a New Spermidine Synthase Gene in Oryza sativa

Authors:

Abstract and Figures

Spermidine synthase is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of the propylamine group from S-adenosylmethionine to putrescine in the biosynthesis of spermidine, and which plays a critical role in a wide range of growth and developmental process. In this research, a new spermidine synthase gene, designated as OsSPDS3, was isolated by 3' RACE method in Oryza sativa. The OsSPDS3 contained an 1 194 bp open reading frame encoding 397 amino acids. The OsSPDS3 included a complete spermine_synth domain, two putative low complexity regions and several binding sites of S-adenosylmethionine. The predicted 3-D structure indicated that OsSPDS3 contained alpha-helices, bate-sheets and coils. The phylogenetic analyses revealed that OsSPDS3 belonged to plant spermidine synthase family, in which AtSODS3, OsSPDS3 and OsSPDS2 were clustered into one clade. OsSPDS3 transcripts were significantly up-regulated under high salinity stress. In contrast, no such induction of the OsSPDS1 and OsSPDS2 were observed under high salinity stress. In addition, the expressions of three rice spermidine synthase genes did not change under drought and cold treatments. The results suggested that OsSPDS3 indicated a distinct function in high salinity stress.

Thericegenomeprojectprovideduswithan
opportunitytosearchforanentireplantgenome

revealed that the rice genome contained three
geneswithahighsimilaritytoknownspermidine

(accession numbers: AK099606 and AB098063)
havebeenreportedbyImai etal.

.Anadditional

onchromosome2andwasonecopyinricegenome
inthisresearch.Differentfromtheinformationon
KOME(AccessionNO:AK065153),the OsSPDS3
encodes397 aminoacids,not 128 amino acids
provided by KOME(http://cdna01.dna.affrc.go.jp/
cDNA/report/KOME_J013002B15.html).
Beingsimilartoallthespermidinesynthases,
OsSPDS3containedconversedspermine_synthdomain
andbindingsitesofS-adenosylmethionine.Although
sperminesynthasealsobelongedtospermidinesynthase-
relatedgenesandpossessedspermine_synthdomain
andbindingsitesofS-adenosylmethionine,itsignificantly
diverged from spermidine synthase,which also
supported bythephylogenetic analysis.Different
fromplantandnon-plantspermidinesynthaseproteins,
sperminesynthaseproteinsformedanindependent
class, suggesting that spermidine and spermine
synthases might carry out different functions.
Consistentwith the previousresults

AtSPDS3 sharedsimilar3D structures,suggesting
thattheymightcarryoutsimilarfunctions.

Spermidine (SPD), as a signal molecule, participates in the response of plants to adversity stress. In the biosynthesis of SPD, spermidine synthase (SPDS) is the key enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of putrescine into SPD. TWO cDNA sequence coding spermidine synthases have been cloned from mulberry (MnSPDS) in the present report. Sequence analysis revealed that their ORF were 1005 and 1188bp in length, encoding 334 and 395 amino acid protein, respectively. MnSPDS genes belonged to S-adenosyl-L-methionone, AdoMet-MTase, Class I superfamily. Phylogenetic analysis of the amino acid sequences encoded by the spermidine synthase gene from different species reveals that Morus notabilis C.K. Schneid. was closely connected to Arabidopsis thaliana. MnSPDS genes expression patterns treated under drought, pathogen treatment were investigated using quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) in real-time. The level of mRNA showed a significant change in drought and pathogen treatment compared to the standard growth environment. Especially, the peak expression of MnSPDS2 gene was 3.2 times that of MnSPDS1gene under drought stress, however, for the treatment of Botrytis cinerea, the peak of transcript level of MnSPDS1 gene was 4.2 times that of MnSPDS2 gene. These findings provide useful reference information for the molecular basis of signal transduction in mulberry trees during stress responses.

Low temperature in early spring severely endangers the growth and development of melon seedlings. Abscisic acid (ABA) and polyamines (PAs) are important signal molecules in plant response to stress. However, the issue of whether they interact to regulate melon cold tolerance remains largely uncharacterized. Here, we identified a total of 14 key genes related to ABA and PAs biosynthesis, including four CmNCEDs, and ten genes in PA pathway (one CmADC, one CmODC, four CmSAMDCs, two CmSPDSs, and two CmSPAMs). Two oriental melon cultivars (IVF571, cold-tolerant; IVF004, cold-sensitive) were selected to explore the difference of ABA and PAs biosynthesis under cold stress (15 °C/6 °C, day/night). Results showed that the expressions of CmNCED3, CmNCED3-2, CmADC, CmSAMDCs, CmSPDS2 and CmSPMS1 were significantly up-regulated. ABA and putrescine levels were significantly increased in IVF571 under cold stress. Inhibiting the biosynthesis of endogenous ABA with nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) or Put with D-Arginine (D-Arg) dramatically decreased the levels of each other and aggravated the cold injury of melon seedlings. In addition, spraying with exogenous 75 μM ABA or 1 mM Put improved the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase and ascorbate peroxidase, and reduced the membrane lipid peroxidation damage of melon seedlings under cold stress. In all, the higher cold tolerance of IVF571 seedlings than that of IVF004 seedlings might be related to the increase in ABA and Put levels triggered by cold stress. ABA and Put could regulate the biosynthesis of each other and might act as signals to trigger the antioxidant system, thereby increasing melon cold tolerance.

Polyamines (PAs), including putrescine (Put), spermidine (Spd), and spermine (Spm), play key roles in plant growth, development, and abiotic/biotic stress tolerance. Their functions appear to be intimately related to their synthesis, which occurs via arginine/ornithine decarboxylase (ADC/ODC), Spd synthase (SPDS) and Spm synthase (SPMS) etc. Previously, the transcriptional regulation of cherry under the shelter covering was carried out, and the PA synthase-related genes, particularly spermidine synthase (SPDS) gene, were differentially expressed in the fruits as exposure to the shelter covering. In the present work, the full-length cDNA sequence of this gene was cloned and named as CpSPDS (GenBank accession: MK045261). Bioinformatics analysis indicated that the cDNA sequence of CpSPDS was 1243 bp in length. Cluster analysis showed that CpSPDS had the highest homologies with those of sweet cherry (XP 021826297, 100 %) and peach (XP 020413638, 99 %). Subcellular localization detected that target gene was located in both nucleus and cytoplasm. The qPCR quantification showed that CpSPDS was differentially expressed in alabastrums, fruitlets, mature fruits and mature leaves of cherry. Interestingly, shelter covering significantly improved the fruitsetting in comparison with those from the shelter-free, gave a positive effect on the expression of CpSPDS gene. The endogenous free PAs were quantified in different tissues by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The PAs contents of the sheltered trees, i.e. Put, Spm and Spd were diversely higher in comparison to the shelter-free, especially in alabastrums, whose Spd titer of the sheltered was 3.29 folds higher than that of the unsheltered, which somehow collaborated result of mRNA quantification. Therefore, shelter covering for cherry might substantially enhance the expression of CpSPDS gene, leading to altering PAs accumulation, which at least partially contributed to the elevation in fruitsetting in rainy regions.
