Abstract [Objective]Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) treatment significantly induced the transcription levels of the Ib bHLH(Ib basic helixloophelix) family four transcription factors bHLH38, bHLH39, bHLH100 and bHLH101 of Arabidopsis thaliana. To further analyze the potential role of these four genes in response to PFOA, we used the CRISPR/Cas9 technology to construct their coknockout vector. [Method]Primers were designed using exons in the wildtype Arabidopsis thaliana genes as a template, and the target genes were ligated to the CRISPR/Cas9 vector by twostep PCR amplification. The successfully constructed recombinant plasmid was transformed into Escherichia coli DH5α, positive colonies were picked. After PCR identification, the plasmid was extracted and transferred into Agrobacterium GV3101 receptive cells, positive colonies were picked again for PCR identification. The plasmid was extracted and sequenced. [Result]Four target expression cassettes were successfully transferred into the CRISPR/Cas9 vector by twostep PCR amplification, and a binary CRISPR/Cas9 knockout vector of bHLH38, bHLH39, bHLH100 and bHLH101 was constructed. [Conclusion]The successfully constructed Ib BHLH family CRISPR/Cas9 knockout vector provides an availability vector for the subsequent Arabidopsis thaliana Ib BHLH family of tetramer mutant materials.
全氟辛酸(perfluorooctanoic acid,PFOA)是一種人工合成化合物,被廣泛應(yīng)用于如油漆、紡織品和化妝品在內(nèi)的各種工商業(yè)產(chǎn)品中。PFOA的持續(xù)使用和大量排放使其越來越多地分布于環(huán)境中。目前,幾乎在所有環(huán)境和生物基質(zhì)中都能檢測(cè)到其存在[1]。環(huán)境中存在的PFOA可以經(jīng)過水體和土壤進(jìn)入植物,在植物體內(nèi)進(jìn)行富集。目前,已經(jīng)在小麥、土豆、胡蘿卜等多種作物體內(nèi)發(fā)現(xiàn)了PFOA的積累[2-3]。植物體內(nèi)高濃度的PFOA會(huì)造成嚴(yán)重的生長(zhǎng)和發(fā)育毒害[3-5],但其毒性作用機(jī)制目前尚不清楚。采用模式植物擬南芥對(duì)PFOA造成的毒性作用機(jī)制進(jìn)行分析,發(fā)現(xiàn)PFOA會(huì)強(qiáng)烈誘導(dǎo)擬南芥bHLH Ib亞族所有4個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)錄因子bHLH38、bHLH39[6]、bHLH100和bHLH101[7]的表達(dá)。
Ib亞族的4個(gè)bHLH轉(zhuǎn)錄因子在鐵穩(wěn)態(tài)中發(fā)揮重要作用,在缺鐵條件下,至少有1個(gè)與FIT形成二聚體,才能激活鐵吸收相關(guān)蛋白FRO2和IRT1的表達(dá),促進(jìn)植物根部對(duì)鐵的吸收[8]。在擬南芥的研究中發(fā)現(xiàn),以上4個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)錄因子中任何一個(gè)基因的突變都不會(huì)對(duì)植物生長(zhǎng)造成影響,但是bHLH38與bHLH100/bHLH101及bHLH39與bHLH100/bHLH101的雙基因或三基因突變,會(huì)使擬南芥出現(xiàn)小化和黃化的癥狀[9]。擬南芥bHLH38和bHLH39由于連鎖,所以無法通過傳統(tǒng)雜交手段獲得四突突變體。
