ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To clone AsWRKY25, a transcription factor gene of Aquilaria sinensis, for bioinformatic analysis and tissue expression analysis, and express its protein in prokaryotic cells, thus to lay a foundation for further study of the biological function of AsWRKY25.METHODS:
With the cDNA isolated from A. sinensis callus as template, the full-length coding sequence (CDS) of AsWRKY25 was amplified using PCR method. The recombinant vector pET-28a-AsWRKY25 was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) for prokaryotic expression. The physiochemical properties and bioinformatic characters of AsWRKY25 were calculated by a series of bioinformatics tools and softwares. The expression patterns in different tissues were detected by RT-PCR.RESULTS:
The full-length coding sequence of AsWRKY25 transcription factor was cloned from the callus of A. sinensis. The CDS of AsWRKY25 was 1 728 bp in length and contained a 1 728 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding 575 amino acids. The CDS sequence was codon-optimized and then ligated into the pET-28a expression vector. The optimal induction condition of recombinant pET-28a-AsWRKY25 was 1 mmol•L-1 IPTG at 37℃ for 6 h in E. coli BL21 (DE3). The result of tissue expression analysis showed that AsWRKY25 had the highest expression level in the agarwood layer and the lowest level in roots, stems and branches.CONCLUSION:
The WRKY transcription factor AsWRKY25 is successfully cloned from A. sinensis and expressed in E. coil. It is speculated that AsWRKY25 may be involved in the wound-induced agarwood-formation process in A. sinensis.
