TCP转录因子是一类高等植物所特有的转录家族,由TEOSINTE BRANCHED 1(TB1)、CYCLOIDEA(CYC)和PROLIFERATING CELL FACTORS(PCFs)这3个分离到的成员的首字母缩写而得名。鉴于TCP转录家族有着重要且广泛的调控作用,区分并说明TCP转录因子的作用机制对研究植物生物学功能具备重要的意义。随着不同物种基因组测序的完成,越来越多的TCP转录因子家族被相继挖掘和分析鉴定,如从番茄中分离到30个TCP转录因子[1],从西瓜中筛选出来27个TCP转录因子[2],从油菜中筛选到39个TCP转录因子[3],不同棉花品种中的TCP转录因子家族也随基因组测序的完成相继被分离鉴定出来并进行表达分析[4]。

许多报道表明TCP转录因子家族与植物成长发育的多个进程以及胁迫条件下的生存有关,因此TCP转录因子家族成员的功能研究受到科研工作者的普遍欢迎。笔者就植物TCP转录因子的最新研究进展进行介绍,并预测未来的研究方向。

1TCP转录因子的结构特点及分类

TCP转录因子家族参与植物生物学功能的多个进程,如植物分枝[5-6]、叶片发育[7]、激素途径[8-9]、种子萌发[10]、昼夜节律[11]。而这些转录因子之所以具有这些功能特征主要是因为它们拥有被称为TCP域的N末端非典型螺旋-环-螺旋(bHLH)结构域。但是,TCP 转录因子又与bHLH 转录因子几乎没有同源性,并和不同于bHLH 转录因子识别的DNA结构域结合[12]。 根据TCP蛋白保守结构域的序列同源性分析,可将TCP蛋白分为两类,即I类和Ⅱ类[13]。I类在TCP结构域中缺失4个保守的氨基酸,Ⅱ类在TCP结构域中插入4个保守的氨基酸,例如谷氨酸-半胱氨酸-谷氨酸(ECE)[14]延伸或富含精氨酸的R结构域[15-16]。Ⅱ类成员可以根据TCP结构域中的序列差异进一步细分为CIN和CYC两个分支[17]。CIN子代以Antirrhinum CINCINNATA(CIN)为代表[18],而CYC子代以CYC/TB1为代表[14]。

已知Ⅱ类TCP蛋白调节许多植物生长过程,最显著的是植物发育(如枝叶分化[5]、腋生分生组织发育[9,19]、激素信号传导[20]和胁迫[21]等)。例如,拟南芥中的AtBRC1[5]、水稻中的OsFC1[6]和郁金香中的TgTB1[22]参与腋芽的发育和分枝控制。另外,I类TCP成员参与植物子叶发育、生长和增殖[23-24]。如在拟南芥中,AtTCP15在雌蕊发育过程中调节内部遗传物质复制以及细胞分裂素和生长素的刺激[8],AtTCP14和AtTCP15共同调节植物节间长度[7]和种子发芽[10],而AtTCP23参与植物开花节律和植物发育[25-26]。然而,由于它们结合的顺式调控竞争位点相似,使得这两类基因共同参与调控植物生长和发育[24,27]。

Liu等[28]利用系统发育分析表明TCP家族中的每个基因类别在其进化过程中均保守地分布在陆地植物中,并且Ⅱ类基因的CYC和CIN基因在陆地植物建立之初就出现了(图1)。

2TCP转录因子的生物学功能

最初的报道显示TCP转录因子家族与细胞增殖和植物生长的调控有关,此后又有许多研究表明TCP家族不同成员的详细作用,这些研究揭示了TCPs参与调控了多个生物学功能的进程并以不同的机制来发挥作用。

2.1植物生长发育功能

据报道TCP转录因子普遍参与了植物生长发育的生物学进程。研究表明,TCP转录因子的Ⅱ类(CIN)成员主要参与叶片发育。之前的研究已经报道了包括TCP2、TCP3、TCP4、TCP10和TCP24在内的拟南芥TCP基因具有miR319结合位点。而miR319已经证实了对这些AtTCP转录物具有切割活性,TCP转录因子的Ⅱ类(CIN)成员起着抑制叶子中细胞增殖的作用。具有高水平的miR319或低水平的miR319结合位点的TCP蛋白可能会导致过量的细胞增殖,从而导致拟南芥、金鱼草和番茄中的皱叶或单子叶植物(大米和蔓生的草皮)中的叶变大[29];AtTCP3间接调节边界特异性基因CUC和LOB的表达[30];在番茄LA中,这类基因主要参与调节叶片的形成[31]。除此之外,还有研究表明几个CIN同源基因在细胞增殖中起到明显作用[32];另外还有一些CYC家族成员参与调节枝条分化,如豌豆TCP转录因子PsBRC1作用于Strigolactones的下游以抑制芽的生长和控制枝条的分枝[32];有些基因在花的生长发育过程中起着重要作用[33-34]。总之,这些结果表明CIN和CYC两类基因主要参与植物发育,此外,虽然I类成员也参与调节植物的发育,但与Ⅱ类成员的作用相反。其中最显著的功能是叶片发育的调节:I类成员促进细胞增殖,而Ⅱ类(CIN)成员则负调控此过程[35-36]。除此之外,I类成员还可以在许多其他发育功能过程中发挥作用。如拟南芥中的AtTCP14和AtTCP15基因在节间、叶片和花组织的细胞增殖中起作用,并影响节间长度和叶片形状[7];菊花CmTCP14基因调节器官大小[37],蝴蝶兰PePCF10基因影响胚珠发育[3];陆地棉GhTCP14基因参与植物生长素介导的棉纤维发育[38]。

2.2非生物胁迫功能

Mukhopadhyay等[39]证实了过表达OsTCP19可以诱导一些反应通路如JA、ABA、IAA、CK和ET通路,并能促进脂肪滴合成、降低水分损失和減少氧离子,进而提高转基因株系的甘露醇处理和高盐的耐受力。

Guan等[40]、Almeida等[41]研究表明,使用一个杂化酵母(Y1H)系统,可以确定5个TCP转录因子,使OSPCF2、OSCPP5、AtTCP20这3个转录因子去结合OsNHX1启动子。研究发现这些转录因子编码的基因在OsNHX1作用下可以参与调节不同的非生物胁迫反应,并证实OsPCF2调节参与盐胁迫。

通过使用硝酸盐增强剂筛选酵母单杂交系统中拟南芥转录因子的文库,鉴定了转录因子基因TEOSINTE BRANCHED1 / CYCLOIDEA / PROLIFERATING的细胞因子1-20(TCP20)。TCP20属于古老植物特有的基因家族,可调控芽、花和胚的发育。该植物具有结合100多个受硝酸盐调节的基因能力,从而参与了硝酸盐信号传导。根据TCP20插入突变体的分析表明,它们在均质硝酸盐培养基上具有正常的初生和侧根生长,但在分裂根中的异质培养基上,其优先侧根生长(根觅食)受到损害。即使铵盐均匀地存在于培养基中,突变体仍优先抑制侧根生长,这表明TCP20对硝酸盐的刺激具有一定的响应。比较TCP20突变体与NLP7突变体,发现TCP20突变体在根生长的局部控制方面有缺陷,但在根觅食反应中没有缺陷,这表明TCP20功能独立于NLP7功能且与NLP7功能不同。进一步的分析表明,无论局部硝酸盐浓度如何,TCP20突变体均缺乏对根生长的系统控制。总之,TCP20在介导拟南芥根硝酸盐觅食的系统信号传导途径中起着关键作用[42]。

2.3生物胁迫功能

研究表明,在植物免疫中TCP基因有着显著的作用。如拟南芥中的一些TCP基因,如Ⅱ类(CIN)成员中的AtTCP13和I类成员中的AtTCP14,15,19和21是作为病原体的效应目标[43]。在对旱稻(O.sativa)报道中,Ⅱ类(CIN)成员中的OsTCP21参与病原体防御[44]。在对西红柿(S.lycopersicum)报道中,AtTCP14-2(AtTCP14的直系同源物)有助于增强对辣椒疫霉菌的免疫力[45]。同时,许多Ⅱ类TCP基因已被证明是植原体效应[46]。如在拟南芥中,SAP11作用在Ⅱ类不稳定的不同成员中,因此导致严重的叶起皱和茉莉酸水平下调[44,46]。最近,一些Ⅱ类(CYC)成员也被证明是SAP11效应子(如小麦蓝矮植原体效应子SWP1[47-48])。研究表明TCP13、TCP14和TCP19 这3种免疫互作因子是2种病原体效应物的直接靶标[49]。进一步的功能研究也表明了tcp13、tcp14和tcp19单突变体对2种不同的无毒性Hyalop-eronosporaarabidopsidis(Hpa)分离株(Emwa1和Emoy2)更敏感,因此这3种TCP转录因子中的每一种都是完整免疫系统功能所必需的;此外,TCP15突变体对毒性Hpa分离株Noco2的抗病性在增强[50]。
