Abstract
The invention provides an oxalate metabolism related enzyme and application thereof in oxalate degradation, and particularly can obviously regulate and control the oxalate content in plants by regulating and controlling the expression or activity of oxalate metabolism related enzyme genes or proteins thereof in the plants.
Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to oxalate metabolism related enzyme and application thereof in oxalate degradation.
Background
Oxalic acid is the simplest dicarboxylic acid and can be found in most organisms, such as microorganisms, plants, and animals. Oxalic acid in plants exists mainly in two different forms, soluble free oxalic acid and insoluble metal oxalate crystals. The content of oxalic acid in the plant can reach 3-10% of dry weight, and the oxalic acid plays various roles in the growth, development and metabolic processes of the plant, such as metal tolerance, ion balance, insect defense and the like.
Oxalic acid in the plant body helps to improve its adaptability, but excessive accumulation of oxalic acid may also adversely affect the growth of the plant. For example, in Arabidopsis, overexpression of bacterial oxalate synthase can cause excessive accumulation of oxalate leading to stunting of the plant growth. Evidence also suggests that pathogens can increase their infectivity by promoting host oxalate secretion, stimulating stomatal opening and cell wall permeability, ultimately leading to programmed death of infected plant cells. Oxalic acid acts as a nutritional antagonist, impairing the absorption of calcium and other minerals. For example, spinach has a high level of oxalic acid, which can interfere with calcium absorption and utilization if eaten with a high calcium containing soy product. In addition, excessive intake of metal oxalate crystals in human bodies may induce breast cancer, kidney stones and other related serious diseases. Therefore, the content of oxalic acid in plants needs to be accurately regulated, and the biosynthesis and degradation pathways of oxalic acid are key steps for regulating the content of oxalic acid.
To date, a variety of (or potential) pathways for oxalate biosynthesis have been reported. Glyoxylic acid can be used to produce oxalic acid from ester oxidase or lactate dehydrogenase. In oxalate secreting fungi, oxaloacetate can be catalytically cleaved by oxaloacetate acetylhydrolase to produce oxalate. Ascorbic acid may also serve as a precursor for oxalate synthesis, but the enzymes responsible for this pathway have not been reported.
Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art to develop an enzyme capable of regulating the oxalate content in plants and a novel approach thereof.

The "same or similar functions" mainly refer to: "modulating agronomic traits in crops (such as maize), such as reducing or increasing oxalic acid content in plants".
The polypeptide of the present invention may be a recombinant polypeptide, a natural polypeptide, or a synthetic polypeptide. The polypeptides of the invention can be naturally purified products, or chemically synthesized products, or using recombinant technology from prokaryotic or eukaryotic hosts (e.g., bacteria, yeast, higher plant, insect and mammalian cells). Depending on the host used in the recombinant production protocol, the polypeptides of the invention may be glycosylated or may be non-glycosylated. The polypeptides of the invention may or may not also include an initial methionine residue.
The present invention also includes oxalate metabolism-related enzyme protein fragments and analogs having oxalate metabolism-related enzyme protein activity. As used herein, the terms "fragment" and "analog" refer to a polypeptide that retains substantially the same biological function or activity of the native SPL7 protein of the invention.
The polypeptide fragment, derivative or analogue of the invention may be: (i) polypeptides in which one or more conserved or non-conserved amino acid residues (preferably conserved amino acid residues) are substituted, and such substituted amino acid residues may or may not be encoded by the genetic code; or (ii) a polypeptide having a substituent group in one or more amino acid residues; or (iii) a polypeptide formed by fusing the mature polypeptide to another compound, such as a compound that increases the half-life of the polypeptide, e.g., polyethylene glycol; or (iv) a polypeptide formed by fusing an additional amino acid sequence to the polypeptide sequence (e.g., a leader or secretory sequence or a sequence used to purify the polypeptide or a proprotein sequence, or a fusion protein). Such fragments, derivatives and analogs are within the purview of those skilled in the art in view of the definitions herein.
In the present invention, the polypeptide variant is an amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO. 1 or 2, a derivative sequence obtained by several (usually 1-60, preferably 1-30, more preferably 1-20, and most preferably 1-10) substitutions, deletions or additions of at least one amino acid, and one or several (usually less than 20, preferably less than 10, and more preferably less than 5) amino acids added at the C-terminal and/or N-terminal. For example, in the protein, when the performance similar or similar amino acid substitution, usually does not change the protein function, C terminal and/or \ terminal addition of one or several amino acids usually does not change the protein function. These conservative changes are preferably made by making substitutions according to Table A.
TABLE A
In a preferred embodiment, the polypeptide of the invention refers to a polypeptide having the sequence of SEQ ID No. 1 or 2 that modulates an agronomic trait (e.g., reducing or increasing oxalic acid content in a plant) of a crop (e.g., maize). Also included are variants of the sequence of SEQ ID No. 1 or 2 having the same function as the oxalate metabolism-related enzyme. These variants include (but are not limited to): deletion, insertion and/or substitution of one or more (usually 1 to 50, preferably 1 to 30, more preferably 1 to 20, most preferably 1 to 10) amino acids, and addition of one or several (usually up to 20, preferably up to 10, more preferably up to 5) amino acids at the C-terminus and/or N-terminus. For example, in the art, substitutions with amino acids of similar or similar properties will not generally alter the function of the protein. Also, for example, the addition of one or several amino acids at the C-terminus and/or N-terminus does not generally alter the function of the protein. The term also includes active fragments and active derivatives of oxalate metabolism-related enzymes.
Variants of the polypeptide include: homologous sequences, conservative variants, allelic variants, natural mutants, induced mutants, proteins encoded by DNA that hybridizes under high or low stringency conditions with DNA of an oxalate metabolism-related enzyme, and polypeptides or proteins obtained using antisera raised against oxalate metabolism-related enzymes. The invention also provides other polypeptides, such as fusion proteins comprising an oxalate metabolism-related enzyme or fragment thereof. In addition to almost full-length polypeptides, the invention also includes soluble fragments of oxalate metabolism-related enzymes. Typically, the fragment has at least about 10 contiguous amino acids, usually at least about 30 contiguous amino acids, preferably at least about 50 contiguous amino acids, more preferably at least about 80 contiguous amino acids, and most preferably at least about 100 contiguous amino acids of the sequence of the oxalate metabolism-related enzyme.
The invention also includes analogs of the claimed proteins that differ from the native SEQ ID NO. 1 or 2 by amino acid sequence differences, by modifications that do not affect the sequence, or by both, analogs of these proteins include natural or induced genetic variants, induced variants can be obtained by various techniques, such as random mutagenesis by radiation or exposure to a mutagen, by site-directed mutagenesis, or other known biological techniques.
Modified (generally without altering primary structure) forms include: chemically derivatized forms of the protein such as acetoxylation or carboxylation, in vivo or in vitro. Modifications also include glycosylation, such as those performed during protein synthesis and processing. Such modification may be accomplished by exposing the protein to an enzyme that performs glycosylation, such as mammalian glycosylating or deglycosylating enzymes. Modified forms also include sequences having phosphorylated amino acid residues (e.g., phosphotyrosine, phosphoserine, phosphothreonine).
The present invention also provides a polynucleotide sequence encoding an oxalate metabolism-related enzyme or a variant thereof. The polynucleotide of the present invention may be in the form of DNA or RNA. The DNA forms include: DNA, genomic DNA or artificially synthesized DNA, the DNA may be single-stranded or double-stranded. The DNA may be the coding strand or the non-coding strand. The sequence of the coding region encoding the mature polypeptide may be identical to the sequence of the coding region as shown in SEQ ID NO.3 or 4 or may be a degenerate variant.
The term "polynucleotide encoding a mutein" may be a polynucleotide comprising a polynucleotide encoding a protein of the invention, or may also comprise additional coding and/or non-coding sequences. In the present invention, a preferred polynucleotide sequence encoding an oxalate metabolism-related enzyme is shown in SEQ ID No.3 or 4.
The present invention also relates to variants of the above polynucleotides which encode polypeptides having the same amino acid sequence as the present invention, fragments, analogues and derivatives thereof. These nucleotide variants include substitution variants, deletion variants and insertion variants. As known in the art, an allelic variant is a substitution form of a polynucleotide, which may be a substitution, deletion, or insertion of one or more nucleotides, without substantially changing the function of the oxalate metabolism-related enzyme encoded thereby.
The present invention also relates to polynucleotides which hybridize to the sequences described above and which have at least 50%, preferably at least 70%, and more preferably at least 80% identity between the two sequences. The present invention particularly relates to polynucleotides hybridizable under stringent conditions (or stringent conditions) with the polynucleotides of the present invention. In the present invention, "stringent conditions" mean: (1) hybridization and elution at lower ionic strength and higher temperature, such as 0.2 XSSC, 0.1% SDS, 60 ℃; or (2) adding denaturant during hybridization, such as 50% (v/v) formamide, 0.1% calf serum/0.1% Ficoll, 42 deg.C, etc.; or (3) hybridization occurs only when the identity between two sequences is at least 90% or more, preferably 95% or more.
The proteins and polynucleotides of the invention are preferably provided in isolated form, more preferably, purified to homogeneity.
It is to be understood that while the genes encoding the oxalate metabolism-related enzymes of the invention are preferably from maize, other genes from other plants that are highly homologous (e.g., have greater than 80%, such as 85%, 90%, 95%, or even 98% sequence identity) to the genes encoding the oxalate metabolism-related enzymes of maize are also within the contemplation of the invention. Methods and means for aligning sequence identity are also well known in the art, for example BLAST.
The full-length sequence of the polynucleotide of the present invention can be obtained by PCR amplification, recombination, or artificial synthesis. For PCR amplification, primers can be designed based on the nucleotide sequences disclosed herein, particularly open reading frame sequences, and the sequences can be amplified using commercially available cDNA libraries or cDNA libraries prepared by conventional methods known to those skilled in the art as templates. When the sequence is long, two or more PCR amplifications are often required, and then the amplified fragments are spliced together in the correct order.
Once the sequence of interest has been obtained, it can be obtained in large quantities by recombinant methods. This is usually done by cloning it into a vector, transferring it into a cell, and isolating the relevant sequence from the propagated host cell by conventional methods.
In addition, the sequence can be synthesized by artificial synthesis, especially when the fragment length is short. Generally, fragments with long sequences are obtained by first synthesizing a plurality of small fragments and then ligating them.
At present, DNA sequences encoding the proteins of the present invention (or fragments or derivatives thereof) have been obtained completely by chemical synthesis. The DNA sequence may then be introduced into various existing DNA molecules (or vectors, for example) and cells known in the art. Furthermore, mutations can also be introduced into the protein sequences of the invention by chemical synthesis.
Methods for amplifying DNA/RNA using PCR techniques are preferably used to obtain the polynucleotides of the invention. Particularly, when it is difficult to obtain a full-length cDNA from a library, it is preferable to use the RACE method (RACE-cDNA terminal rapid amplification method), and primers used for PCR can be appropriately selected based on the sequence information of the present invention disclosed herein and synthesized by a conventional method. The amplified DNA/RNA fragments can be isolated and purified by conventional methods, such as by gel electrophoresis.
The method of the invention
As described above, based on the above findings concerning oxalate metabolism-related enzymes or genes encoding the same (e.g., OCD1, O7), the present inventors further provide a method for modulating agronomic traits in plants, such as reducing or increasing the content of oxalate in plants.
The methods of the invention achieve regulation of an agronomic trait, such as oxalate content in a plant, by increasing or decreasing expression of an oxalate metabolism-related enzyme or a gene encoding the same, and/or increasing or decreasing activity of an oxalate metabolism-related enzyme.
In a preferred embodiment, the method comprises the steps of:
(a) providing a plant;
(b) identifying an oxalate metabolism-related enzyme in the plant;
(c) changing the expression amount and/or activity of the oxalate metabolism-related enzyme so as to regulate the oxalate content in the plant;
wherein the oxalate metabolism-related enzyme is selected from the group consisting of: OCD1, O7, or a combination thereof.
Method for improving plant traits
The invention also provides a method for improving plant traits, which comprises the following steps:
increasing or decreasing the expression level or activity of an oxalate metabolism-related enzyme or a gene encoding the same in a plant, thereby improving an agronomic trait of the plant, wherein the oxalate metabolism-related enzyme is selected from the group consisting of: OCD1, O7, or a combination thereof.
The main advantages of the invention include:
(1) the invention discovers a key enzyme (oxalate metabolism related enzyme, OCD1 and O7) of an oxalate degradation pathway capable of obviously regulating and controlling the oxalate content in plants for the first time.
(2) The invention clones the coding gene of oxalyl coenzyme A decarboxylase in the corn oxalate metabolism process and verifies the biochemical function of the oxalate decarboxylase in detail; the invention also verifies the biochemical function of the corn oxalyl coenzyme A synthetase. The research of the invention clearly clarifies the first two steps of reactions of the maize oxalic acid degradation pathway, increases the understanding of the maize oxalic acid degradation pathway, and provides an important theoretical basis for accurately regulating and controlling the oxalic acid level of maize and other crop vegetables in the future.
(3) The invention firstly discovers that the OCD1 gene can catalyze oxalyl CoA to generate formyl CoA, and the O7 gene can catalyze oxalyl CoA to generate oxalyl CoA.
(4) The invention discovers for the first time that the oxalate metabolism-related enzyme can significantly reduce the oxalate content in plants (at least 10%, preferably 20%, more preferably 50%).
The invention will be further illustrated with reference to the following specific examples. It should be understood that these examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Experimental procedures without specific conditions noted in the following examples, generally followed by conventional conditions, such as Sambrook et al, molecular cloning: the conditions described in the laboratory Manual (New York: Cold Spring harbor laboratory Press,1989), or according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Unless otherwise indicated, percentages and parts are percentages and parts by weight.
Unless otherwise specified, reagents and materials in the examples of the present invention are commercially available products.
EXAMPLE 1 acquisition of maize ocd1 mutant
One seed, numbered UFMu06493, was obtained from the international corn genetic improvement center during the course of the study (W22 background). After sub-species selfing, the grain on one ear exhibited a clear floury endosperm phenotype (fig. 1A) with a 1: 3, separating. The identification found that UFMu06493 seed produced a mutant phenotype that is not linked to the predicted insertion site, suggesting that the phenotype is caused by another gene mutation. We named this powdery mutant ocd1-1 (see below). The mutant seeds were observed on a light box to be opaque (FIGS. 1B and 1C). Cross-sections of the grain showed that the ocd1-1 endosperm was completely loose white (FIG. 1E) while the wild-type control grain was tightly transparent around and slightly white in the central region (FIG. 1D). Scanning electron microscopy showed that the starch granules in the peripheral region of endosperm were tightly packed with proteosome (Wu and Messing, 2010), and the ocd1-1 kernel starch granules were naked and loose (FIGS. 1F and 1G).
Example 2 cloning and characterization of the maize Ocd1 Gene
The Ocd1 gene was located on the long arm of chromosome eight using the F2 population obtained by crossing with the B73 inbred line and SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) markers (fig. 2A). SSR and Indel markers were then used for fine localization. By 597 single DNA samples, the Ocd1 gene was mapped to a region of 210kb between the markers SSR17.80 and SSR18.21 (FIG. 2A). Based on the B73 genome sequence in the MaizeGDB database, this interval contains four protein-encoding genes GRMZM2G080722, GRMZM2G080521, GRMZM2G175253, and GRMZM2G175171 (fig. 3A). PCR amplification and sequencing showed a 1.4kb transposon (Mutat) element (Mu8) in the first exon (+297-bp relative to the start codon) of GRMZM2G175171 (FIG. 2B), with no changes in the other three genes. To confirm that the ocd1-1 phenotype is linked to GRMZM2G175171, four primers were designed. GRMZM2G175171 specific primers P1 and P2, Mu8 specific primers 810F and 810R. The results show that in homozygous inserted seeds P1+810R and P2+801F can be amplified, P1+ P2 amplification produces bands containing the inserts. Whereas control wild type seeds did not have a Mu8 insertion (fig. 2C), indicating that the Mu8 insertion on GRMZM2G175171 is linked to the floury endosperm phenotype. To further confirm that GRMZM2G175171 is a gene causing a mutation, we obtained the strains UFmu-06550 and UFmu-02221 from the International maize genetic improvement center with an additional transposon insertion on this gene. We named these two mutants ocd1-2 and ocd 1-3. PCR amplification and sequencing show that the two mutants have transposon insertions in +94bp and +540bp of the first exon of GRMZM2G175171 gene. The transposon insertions at the two loci were closely linked to the phenotype of the floury endosperm of the selfed progeny of the heterozygous plants (fig. 2D). Semi-quantitative RT-PCR showed that expression of GRMZM2G175171 could not be detected in none of the ocd1-1, ocd1-2 and ocd1-3 mutants, indicating that all three mutants were knock-out mutants (FIG. 2E).
Example 3 validation of maize Ocd1 Gene allelic hybridization
To further verify that the GRMZM2G175171 mutation is responsible for the pink nature of the ocd1 mutant. We identified heterozygous backgrounds for ocd mutants. We conferred pollen from ocd1-2/+ and ocd1-3/+ on the ear of ocd1-1/+ while selfing. At 45 days post pollination harvest, both the ears after ocd1-2/+ and ocd1-3/+ selfing (FIG. 3A) and after crossing to ocd1-1/+ ear were found to separate the floury grains (FIG. 3B), with normal and floury seeds separated at a 3:1 ratio. Allelic hybridization experiments further confirmed that the GRMZM2G175171 mutation is the gene that causes flourishing in the ocd1 endosperm.
Example 4 maize Ocd1 Gene is widely expressed in maize
The spatiotemporal expression pattern of Ocd1 was analyzed by quantitative PCR. Ocd1 was found to be expressed in different tissues of maize and was higher in roots, cusps, filaments and seeds 10(10DAP) days after pollination (FIG. 4A). The expression of the Ocd1 gene during seed development was further investigated. We extracted seed and endosperm RNA at different times after pollination. Quantitative PCR analysis showed that Ocd1 expression increased gradually after pollination, peaking at 10DAP (fig. 4B). Thereafter from 12DAP to 32DAP, Ocd1 slowly decreased in endosperm and at 36DAP, expression of Ocd1 appeared to increase again (fig. 4B).
Example 5 Domain, sequence and subcellular localization analysis of ZmOCD1 protein
Ocd1 contains two exons and an intron that encodes a protein consisting of 575 amino acid residues. Search of Pfam database using the full-Length amino acid sequence of ZmOCD 1: (http://pfam.xfam.org) The protein is shown to contain three conserved domains, the N-terminal thiamine pyrophosphate (ThDP) binding domain, the middle ThDP and magnesium ion binding domain and the C-terminal ThDP binding and catalytic active domain (fig. 5A). To gain more insight into the function of the ZmOCD1 protein, we also used the ZmOCD1 protein sequence to perform a query at the NCBI database, identifying the homologous proteins of ZmOCD1 in Arabidopsis and oxalic acid producing Bacillus (Oxalobacter formigenes) (AtOCD1 and OfOCD1, respectively). The alignment found that ZmOCD1 and AtOCD1 and OfOCD1 were in sequenceThe similarity was very high (83% and 62%, respectively). Structural biology analysis identified ThDP of OfOCD1, key amino acid tastes of Adenosine Diphosphate (ADP) and magnesium ion binding, and the active center of the enzyme (Berthold et al, 2005). We compared these key amino acid sites and found that the ThDP binding site and the ADP binding site were identical in the three proteins, OfOCD1, AtOCD1 and ZmOCD1 (FIG. 5B). Both magnesium ion binding sites and active site amino acids of ZmOCD1 and OfOCD1 were the same or similar (fig. 5B). The high similarity of ZmOCD1 to the sequence of OfOCD1 suggests that ZmOCD1 may also be involved in oxalate degradation as an Oxalyl-CoA Decarboxylase (Oxalyl-CoA decarbonylase 1). Therefore, we named its coding gene GRMZM2G175171 as ZmOcd1 and its mutant as ocd1 mutant. Next, the subcellular localization of ZmOCD1 protein was studied and, as found by transient transformation of arabidopsis protoplasts and tobacco epidermal cells by fusion of GFP fluorescent protein, GFP fluorescence was predominantly localized in the cytoplasm (fig. 5C), indicating that ZmOCD1 is a cytoplasmic-localized protein that fits the subcellular localization pattern of most enzymes.
Example 6 purification of ZmOCD1 protein expression and chemical Synthesis of oxalyl-CoA as substrate
The oxalate degradation process is divided into four steps, the first two steps are reaction of catalyzing and connecting oxalic acid and coenzyme A by oxalyl coenzyme A synthetase to form oxalyl coenzyme A, and ZmOCD1 protein catalyzes and degrades oxalyl coenzyme A to generate formyl coenzyme A and carbon dioxide (figure 6A). To investigate whether ZmOCD1 indeed functions as an oxalyl decarboxylase in the oxalate degradation pathway, we constructed and purified a 6 × histidine (ZmOCD1-His) tagged protein. Empty vector containing no recombinant sequence was purified for use as an experimental control (FIG. 6B). Another key element of the enzymatic activity reaction is the substrate, and we searched for oxalyl-coa that was not commercially available from many companies. By searching the literature, a method for chemically synthesizing oxalyl-CoA was found (Quayle, 1962). We bought relevant reagents from the literature and performed chemical synthesis reactions. The LC-MS/MS detection of the product shows that the synthesized oxalyl-CoA has a specific peak (FIG. 6C), and the peak pattern of the secondary mass spectrum also accords with the mode of oxalyl-CoA fragment (FIG. 6D), which indicates that the enzyme activity experiment can be carried out after the substrate of ZmOCD1 protein, oxalyl-CoA, is successfully synthesized.
Example 7 ZmOCD1 degradation of oxalyl-CoA to formyl-CoA
Purified ZmOCD1-His protein or control protein (vector control), synthetic oxalyl-CoA and other cofactors were mixed well and incubated at 37 ℃. After 15 min incubation the reaction was stopped with methanol and the product was detected by LC-MS/MS. The results showed that in the reaction system to which ZmOCD1-His protein was added, oxalyl-CoA (m/z) as a substrate+840.1) a new peak (m/z) was generated in addition to the corresponding peak at the nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio 796.1 (formyl-CoA)+796.1) (fig. 7A). Further secondary mass spectrometry ion fragmentation showed that the product was similar to the formyl-CoA fragmentation pattern, indicating that formyl-CoA was produced in the reaction system for ZmOCD1-His protein (FIG. 7C). Whereas the control protein incubated with substrate was only at oxalyl-CoA (m/z)+840.1) one peak at position and no peak corresponding to formyl-CoA was generated (FIG. 7B). At the same time we found that the difference between the nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio of the two peaks is equal to 44.0, which is exactly the nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio of carbon dioxide (m/z 44.0). In addition, we performed in vivo enzyme activity assays, which showed that wild-type (WT) endosperm could catalyze the production of formyl-CoA from oxalyl-CoA (FIG. 7D), whereas ocd1-1 mutant did not produce formyl-CoA (FIG. 7E). The above in vitro and in vivo enzyme activity experiments show that ZmOCD1 can degrade oxalyl-CoA to formyl-CoA and carbon dioxide.
Example 8 corn O7 degradation of oxalate to oxalyl-CoA
Corn ZmO7 is a homologous protein of Arabidopsis thaliana oxalyl-CoA synthetase (Miclaus et al, 2011; Wangt al, 2011), however, to date, the function of ZmO7 in corn has not been validated, nor has maize oxalyl-CoA synthetase been reported. To demonstrate that ZmO7 in maize is an oxalyl-coa synthetase, capable of linking oxalate to coa and thereby degrading oxalate to produce oxalyl-coa. ZmO7 protein was expressed and purified (FIG. 6A), and enzymatic activity was carried out using oxalic acid and coenzyme A as substrates. LC-MS/MS analysis of the reaction product shows that ZmO7 protein can be in nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio (m/z)-838.1) generated a new peak (fig. 8A) corresponding to oxalyl-coa. ZmO7 ProteinThe amount of oxalyl-coa was directly proportional to the oxalate concentration (fig. 8A). The secondary mass spectrometric ion fragmentation showed that the product was in a similar pattern to the oxalyl-coa fragmentation (fig. 8B), indicating that ZmO7 is indeed an oxalyl-coa synthetase that degrades oxalic acid to produce oxalyl-coa.
