ABSTRACT

24

Glucosinolates are secondary metabolites that play important roles in plant defense and human

25

health, as their production in plants is enhanced by overexpressing transcription factors. Here,

26

four cabbage transcription factors (IQD1-1, IQD1-2, MYB29-1, and MYB29-2) affecting genes

27

in both aliphatic and indolic glucosinolates biosynthetic pathways and increasing glucosinolates

28

accumulation were overexpressed in watercress. Five IQD1-1, six IQD1-2, five MYB29-1, six

29

MYB29-2, and one GUS hairy root lines were created. The expression of all genes involved in

30

glucosinolates biosynthesis was higher in transgenic lines than in the GUS hairy root line, in

31

agreement with total glucosinolates contents, determined by high-performance liquid

32

chromatography. In transgenic IQD1-1(1), IQD1-2(4), MYB29-1(2), and MYB29-2(1) hairy root

33

lines total glucosinolates were 3.39-, 3.04-, 2.58-, and 4.69-fold higher than those in the GUS

34

hairy root lines, respectively. These results suggest a central regulatory function for IQD1-1,

35

IQD1-2, MYB29-1, and MYB29-2 transcription factors in glucosinolates biosynthesis in

36

watercress hairy roots.

INTRODUCTION

46

Glucosinolates (GSLs) are sulfur-rich secondary metabolites that play important roles in plant

47

defense against herbivores and microbes1 and have various biological activities related to human

48

health.2-5 These metabolites are found almost exclusively within the order Brassicales including

49

watercress (N. officinale),6 rapeseed (B. napus),7 cabbage (B. oleracea),8 Chinese cabbage (B.

50

rapa),1 and the model plant A. thaliana.9 In plants, roughly 200 different GSL are accumulation

51

occur naturally. According to their amino acid precursor, GSLs are divided into three groups:

52

aliphatic GSLs, derived from methionine, isoleucine, leucine, and valine; aromatic GSLs,

53

derived from phenylalanine or tyrosine; and indolic GSLs, derived from tryptophan.9 To date,

54

almost all genes involved in the GSL biosynthetic pathway have been identified10,11 and are

55

known to be positively regulated by several transcription factors (TFs)11 including IQD1-1,

56

Dof1.1, MYB28, MYB34, MYB29, MYB51, MYB76, and MYB122.12 MYB28, MYB29, and

57

MYB76 control the biosynthesis of aliphatic GSLs,13,14 but MYB34, MYB51, and MYB122

58

control the biosynthesis of indolic GSLs,15 and Dof1.1 and IQD1-1 control the biosynthesis of

59

both aliphatic and indolic GSLs.16,17 The MYB29 TF, which controls the biosynthesis of high

60

aliphatic GSLs, was shown to specifically trans-activate genes of the aliphatic GSL biosynthetic

61

pathway (Figure 1), i.e. MAM1-3, CYP79F1, CYP83A1, SUR1, SOT17, and SOT18.13,14,18

62

Yimeng Li et al.19 showed that expression levels of BCAT4 were affected by MYB29 gene

63

manipulation. The TF IQD1 (IQ67 Domain1) is a founding member of the IQD family that

64

affects the expression of multiple genes involved in GSL metabolism.16 Plant-specific IQD gene

65

families have been comprehensively annotated in A. thaliana,20,21 rice (O. sativa),20 tomato (S.

66

lycopersicum),22 Chinese cabbage (B. rapa),1,23 soybean (G. max),24,25 and black cottonwood (P.

67

trichocarpa)26 genomes. In cabbage (B. oleracea), IQD1-1 (Bo1g144340.1), IQD1-2



68

(Bo3g061890.1), MYB29-1 (Bo9g175680.1), and MYB29-2 (Bo3g004500.1) TF genes were

69

identified and published on http://plants.ensembl.org/Brassica_oleracea/; however, their

70

functions have not been studied so far.

71

Watercress is an aquatic herb belonging to family Cruciferae (mustard family) rich in

72

secondary metabolites such as GSLs, carotenoids, and chlorophyll, and with potential

73

antioxidant,27,28 anti-genotoxic, anti-proliferative, and anti-metastatic29 activities. In particular,

74

watercress contains high amounts of 2-phenylethyl glucosinolate (gluconasturtiin) and 2-

75

phenylethyl isothiocyanate, which participate in tumor growth suppression.30 Several studies

76

have recently identified GSLs in watercress hairy roots. Wielanek et al.31 identified

77

glucotropaeolin and gluconasturtiin (7.03 and 24.30 mg g-1 dry weight, respectively) in

78

watercress hairy roots using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. Il Park

79

et al.6 reported that the levels of indolic GSLs, including glucobrassicin and 4-

80

methoxyglucobrassicin, as well as that of the aromatic glucosinolate gluconasturtiin, were

81

identical or higher in transformed than in wild type roots of watercress. However, the effects of

82

TFs on the accumulation of GSLs in watercress hairy roots have not been examined so far.

83

Hairy roots, which are induced by A. rhizogenes R1000 at or near the site of infection of

84

a plant, with phenotypic and biochemical stability, al so fast growth rate, they are considered as

85

alternative material for the production of secondary metabolites. Given the richness of GSL

86

compounds in watercress and the good characteristics of hairy roots, watercress hairy root are

87

probably a good model for large-scale production of GSL. In the present study, we enhanced

88

GSL production in watercress hairy roots by overexpressing the cabbage TFs IQD1-1, IQD1-2,

89

MYB29-1, and MYB29-2, which affect genes in both indolic and aliphatic GSL pathways, as

90

well as GSL accumulation. These results will be a valuable resource for further research on 4 ACS Paragon Plus Environment

MATERIALS AND METHODS

95

Plasmid Construction. Plasmid construction followed the method of Pham Anh Tuan et

96

al..32 A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to generate the coding regions of GUS

97

(Accession numbers: AJ298139.1) and IQD1-1, IQD1-2, MYB29-1, and MYB29-2, based on their

98

full-length sequences reported in http://plants.ensembl.org/Brassica_oleracea/ with accession

99

numbers Bo1g144340.1, Bo3g061890.1, Bo9g175680.1, Bo3g004500.1, respectively. A BP

100

Clonase II (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) kit was used to insert these genes into the

101

pDONR221 vector (Invitrogen), which was subsequently transformed into TOP10 Escherichia

102

coli cells (Invitrogen) by the heat-shock method (42°C for 30 s). Kanamycin (50 mg/L) and

103

sequencing methods were used for selecting and confirming gene inserts in the recombinant

104

plasmids. Briefly, vectors pDONR221-GUS, pDONR221-IQD1-1, pDONR221-IQD1-2,

105

pDONR221-MYB29-1, and pDONR221-MYB29-2 were excised and recombined into a

106

pK7FWG2 (http://www.psb.ugent.be/gateway/) overexpression vector using LR Clonase

107

(Invitrogen). The resulting constructs, named pK7FWG2-GUS, pK7FWG2-IQD1-1, pK7FWG2-

108

IQD1-2, pK7FWG2-MYB29-1, and pK7FWG2-MYB29-2, respectively, consisted of a

109

cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter, neomycin phosphotransferase (NPTII) gene,

110

and GUS, IQD1-1, IQD1-2, MYB29-1, or MYB29-2 sequences, respectively. The electroporation

111

method was use to transfer constructs into A. rhizogenes strain R1000, then grown on Luria-

112

Bertani medium consists of kanamycin (50 mg/L) at 28 °C and sequenced.



113

Plant Material. Watercress (N. officinale) seeds were obtained from Asia Seed Co., Ltd

114

(Seoul, Korea). After surface-sterilization with 70% (v/v) ethanol for 30 s, seeds preserved in

115

4.5% (v/v) sodium hypochlorite solution for 10 min were rinsed five times in sterilized water,

116

germinated on half-strength Murashige and Skoog (1/2 MS) medium33 with 0.8% agar (pH 5.7),

117

and incubated at 25°C under 16 h light/8 h dark conditions.

118

Induction of Hairy Roots. Leaves of 2-week-old watercress seedlings were exposed to A.

119

rhizogenes strain R1000 harboring pK7FWG2-GUS, pK7FWG2-IQD1-1, pK7FWG2-IQD1-2,

120

pK7FWG2-MYB29-1, or pK7FWG2-MYB29-2 constructs and cultured on Luria-Bertani (LB)

121

medium (sodium chloride 10g/l, trypton 10g/l, yeast extract 5g/l, bactoMT agar 15g/l). After for

122

10 min exposure, using sterile filter paper to blotted dry, then watercress leaves were transferred

123

to agar-solidified MS medium (pH 5.7), and put in cultivation chamber for 2 days under dark

124

light condition at 25°C. After 2 days, watercress leaves washed with sterile distilled water, put in

125

agar-solidified 1/2 MS contained 250 mg/L cefotaxime and grown in cultivation chamber under

126

dark light for 3 weeks. Hairy roots produced during this period were isolated and cultured

127

independently on agar-solidified 1/2 MS with 250 mg/L cefotaxime. Once fully grown, 100 mg

128

of each hairy root were transferred to 1/2 MS liquid medium and grown at 25°C and 16 h light/8

129

h dark conditions under continuous shaking (100 rpm). After 4 weeks, hairy roots were harvested

130

and immediately incubated in liquid nitrogen then stored at - 80°C for analysis of gene

131

expression or accumulation GSL compounds.

132

Genomic DNA Isolation and PCR Analysis. Total DNAs were isolated from different

133

hairy root lines using the Plant Genomic DNA Mini Kit (Geneaid Biotech Ltd., New Taipei City,

134

Taiwan), and their quality and concentration were determined by electrophoresis using a 1.2%

135

agarose gel and the NanoVue™ Plus spectrophotometer (GE Healthcare UK Limited,


Page 6 of 25

Page 7 of 25


136

Buckinghamshire, UK), respectively. To determine if hairy root transformation was successful,

137

each hairy root was examined by PCR with primers for Rol and NPTII genes (Table 1). The PCR

138

profile used for amplifications was: 95°C for 5 min; 35 cycles of 95°C for 10 s; annealing

139

temperature of each gene for 30 s (Table 1), and 72°C for 1 min; final extension at 72°C for 10

140

min. After amplification, 20 µL of amplified PCR products were examined by electrophoresis on

141

1.2% agarose gels.

142

RNA Isolation and cDNA Synthesis. Total RNAs of different hairy root lines were

143

isolated using the Easy BLUE Total RNA Kit (iNtRON, Seongnam, Korea). The quality and

144

concentration of each RNA were determined by electrophoresis using a 1.2% agarose gel and the

145

NanoVue™ Plus spectrophotometer, respectively. The ReverTra Ace-kit (Toyobo Co. Ltd.,

146

Osaka, Japan) was used for cDNA synthesis based on 1 μg high-quality total RNA. The cDNA

147

samples obtained were diluted 20-fold as template for quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR).

148

Quantitative Real-time PCR Analysis. Based on the sequences of the cabbage TFs IQD1-

149

1 (Bo1g144340.1), IQD1-2 (Bo3g061890.1), MYB29-1 (Bo9g175680.1), and MYB29-2

150

(Bo3g004500.1) published in http://plants.ensembl.org/Brassica_oleracea/Transcript/ and on the

151

19 GSL gene sequences reported for watercress,30 Primer 3 (http://bioinfo.ut.ee/primer3-

152

0.4.0/primer3/)34 were designed qRT-PCR primers in this study (Table 1). The qRT-PCR

153

reaction include cDNA (5 µL), primers (2 µL), water(3 µL), 2× SYBR Green buffer (10 µL)

154

with amplification conditions were: 95°C (5 min); 40 cycles of 95°C (20 s), 56°C (20 s), 72°C

155

(20 s); and 72°C (8 min). The expression of genes was calculated relative to that of elongation

156

factor 1-α (EF-1-α; Accession number: GO479260), which was used as the internal reference

157

gene. Each reaction was performed in triplicate and analyzed using the Bio-Rad CFX Manager

158

2.0 software (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA).



159

HPLC Analysis. Extraction and HPLC analysis of the desulfated forms of GSLs were

160

performed as previously reported. 1 GSLs were extracted from 100 mg of freeze-dried sample in

161

4.5 mL boiling 70% (v/v) methanol for 5 min, and centrifuged (12,000 rpm) in 10 min at 4°C. To

162

elute the extracted GSLs in extract solution, a DEAE-Sephadex A-25 ion exchanger (Sigma-

163

Aldrich Korea, Seoul, South Korea) was used. The Agilent Technologies 1200 series HPLC

164

system (Palo Alto, CA, USA) including ODS-2 column (10 × 2.0 mm i.d., particle size 5 μm)

165

and ODS-3 column (150 × 3.0 mm i.d., particle size 3 μm) from GL Sciences, Tokyo, Japan

166

were used to identify GSLs in sample with 227 nm of maximum wavelength, 40°C of column

167

oven temperature and 0.2 mL/min of flow rate, respectively. The solvent systems employed were

168

water (solvent A) and 100% acetonitrile (solvent B). The following gradient program (27 min in

169

total) was used: 0% solvent B, 0 min; 0% to 10% increase in solvent B, 0–2 min; 10% solvent B,

170

2–7 min; 10% to 31% steadily increase in solvent B, 7–16 min; 31% solvent B, 16–19 min; 31%

171

to 0% decrease in solvent B, 19–21 min; and 0% solvent B, 21–27 min. Individual GSLs were

172

identified based on their HPLC peak area ratios, reference to a desulfo-sinigrin external standard,

173

and response factors (ISO 9167-1, 1992). Measurements were performed in triplicate and

174

analyzed using SAS 9.2 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA).

175

Statistical Analysis. For real-time PCR or HPLC statistical analysis, measurements were

176

performed in triplicate and analyzed using Bio-Rad CFX Manager 2.0 software (Bio-Rad

177

Laboratories, Hercules, CA, USA) or SAS 9.2 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA), respectively.

181

(data not show), the transcription levels of IQD1-1, IQD1-2, MYB29-1, and MYB29-2 of hairy

182

roots from different watercress lines were analyzed by qRT-PCR. High levels of IQD1-1, IQD1-

183

2, MYB29-1, and MYB29-2 transcripts were found in the respective transgenic hairy root lines,

184

but not in the GUS hairy roots line (Figure 2). Maximum transcript expression levels for IQD1-1,

185

IQD1-2, MYB29-1, and MYB29-2 were detected in IQD1-1(1), IQD1-2(4), MYB29-1(2), and

186

MYB29-2(1) lines, respectively. Overall, transcript levels were ranked in descending order as

187

follows: IQD1-1(1)> IQD1-1(3)> IQD1-1(5)> IQD1-1(4)> IQD1-1(2) for IQD1-1; IQD1-2(4)>

188

IQD1-2(6)> IQD1-2(5)> IQD1-2(1)> IQD1-2(2)> IQD1-2(3) for IQD1-2; MYB29-1(2)>

189

MYB29-1(4)> MYB29-1(1)> MYB29-1(5)> MYB29-1(3) for MYB29-1; and MYB29-2(1)>

190

MYB29-2(3)> MYB29-2(6)> MYB29-2(5)> MYB29-2(2)> MYB29-2(4) for MYB29-2. Lines

191

IQD1-1(1), IQD1-2(4), MYB29-1(2), and MYB29-2(1) were selected for further analysis.

192

Expression of The Genes Involved in The GSL Biosynthesis Pathway. To investigate the

193

regulation of GSL biosynthetic genes by IQD1-1, IQD1-2, MYB29-1, and MYB29-2 TFs, the

194

expression levels of NoBCAT4, NoMAM1, NoMAM3, NoCYP79F1, NoCYP83A1, NoGSTF11,

195

NoGSTF20, NoGGP1, NoSUR1, NoUGT74C1, NoST5b, NoST5c, NoCYP79B2, NoCYP79B3,

196

NoCYP83B1, NoGSTF10, NoUGT74B1, NoST5a, NoCYP81F2, and NoIGMT1 were analyzed in

197

IQD1-1(1), IQD1-2(4), MYB29-1(2), MYB29-2(1), and GUS hairy root lines (Figure 3). Genes

198

involved in aliphatic GSL biosynthesis include NoBCAT4, NoMAM1, NoMAM3, NoCYP79F1,

199

NoCYP83A1, NoGSTF11, NoGSTF20, NoGGP1, NoSUR1, NoUGT74C1, NoST5b, and NoST5c

200

and these were expressed to a higher extent in IQD1-1(1), IQD1-2(4), MYB29-1(2), and

201

MYB29-2(1) hairy root lines than in GUS hairy root line.

202

Expression levels of NoCYP79B2, NoCYP83B1, NoGSTF10, NoUGT74B1, NoST5a,

203

NoCYP81F2, and NoIGMT1, which are involved in indolic GSL biosynthesis pathway were also 9 ACS Paragon Plus Environment


204

expressed to a higher extent in IQD1-1(1) and IQD1-2(4) hairy root lines than in GUS hairy root

205

line. Expression levels of NoCYP79B2, NoCYP79B3, NoCYP83B1, and NoST5a in MYB29-1(2)

206

and MYB29-2(1) hairy root lines were similar to that in GUS hairy root line (Figure 3), whereas

207

expression levels of NoGSTF10, NoCYP81F2, NoUGT74B1, and NoIGMT1 in MYB29-1(2) and

208

MYB29-2(1) hairy root lines were not much higher than in GUS hairy root line. Expression

209

levels of NoUGT74B1 and NoIGMT1 were higher in MYB29-2(1) than in MYB29-1(2) hairy

210

root line. These results suggested that NoGSTF10, NoCYP81F2, NoUGT74B1, and NoIGMT1

211

expression was responsible for the small increase in the accumulation of indolic GSLs observed

212

in MYB29-1 and MYB29-2 hairy root lines compared to that observed in the GUS hairy root

213

line.

214

GSL Production in Lines Overexpressing IQD1-1, IQD1-2, MYB29-1, and MYB29-2.

215

According to HPLC results, GSL content significantly increased in transgenic hairy root lines

216

compared to the GUS hairy root line (Table 2). Specifically, total GSL content in IQD1-1(1),

217

IQD1-2(4), MYB29-1(2), and MYB29-2(1) hairy root lines was 17.77, 15.91, 13.50, and 24.59

218

µg/g dry weight, and increased by 3.39-, 3.04-, 2.58-, and 4.69-fold compared to that in the GUS

219

hairy root line (5.24 µg/g dry weight), respectively. The accumulation of total aliphatic GSLs

220

was higher in transgenic hairy root lines than in the GUS hairy root line. In fact, glucoiberin,

221

glucocochlearin, glucobrassicanapin, and glucoerucin, all aliphatic GSLs, were not detected in

222

the GUS hairy root line but appeared in transgenic hairy root lines. Furthermore, glucoiberin and

223

glucocochlearin were detected in all transgenic hairy root lines, while glucobrassicanapin and

224

glucoerucin were only found in MYB29-1(2) and MYB29-2(1) hairy root lines. The

225

accumulation of total aliphatic GSLs was highest in MYB29-2(1) (2.23 µg/g dry weight),

226

followed by IQD1-2(4) (1.81 µg/g dry weight), MYB29-1(2) (1.58 µg/g dry weight), and IQD1-

227

1(1) (1.50 µg/g dry weight), and increased by 3.27-, 2.55-, 2.23-, and 2.11-fold compared to that

228

in the GUS hairy root line (0.71 µg/g dry weight), respectively. The accumulation of total indolic

229

GSLs was highest in IQD1-1(1) (11.59 µg/g dry weight), followed by IQD1-2(4) (8.98 µg/g dry

230

weight), MYB29-2(1) (7.04 µg/g dry weight), and MYB29-1(2) (4.74 µg/g dry weight), and

231

increased by 2.85-, 2.21-, 1.73-, 1.17-fold compared to that in the GUS hairy root line (4.06 µg/g

232

dry weight), respectively. The accumulation of 4-methoxyglucobrassicin in the MYB29-2(1)

233

hairy root line was higher than in the GUS hairy root line, in agreement with the transcript levels

234

of NoUGT74B1 and NoIGMT1, which were higher in the MYB29-2(1) hairy root line than in the

235

GUS hairy root line. Interestingly, the concentration of gluconasturtiin, a main content of

236

aromatic GSL, increased by 9.58-, 10.89-, 15.42-, and 32.42-fold in IQD1-1(1), IQD1-2(4),

237

MYB29-1(2), and MYB29-2(1) hairy root lines in relation to the GUS hairy root line (Table 2).

238

In the present study, GSL production in watercress hairy roots was enhanced by overexpressing

239

the cabbage TFs IQD1-1, IQD1-2, MYB29-1, and MYB29-2, all regulating genes in the indolic

240

and aliphatic GSL pathway and GSL accumulation. To assess differences in GSL biosynthetic

241

pathways between transgenic and GUS hairy root lines, we compared the accumulation of GSLs

242

with the expression levels of the genes involved in their biosynthesis in tissues from 3-week-old

243

transgenic watercress hairy root lines and from a GUS hairy root line. Both the GSL profile and

244

expression levels of the genes involved in their corresponding biosynthetic pathways were

245

considerably distinct between transgenic and GUS hairy root lines. The total GSL content was

246

considerably higher in the transgenic hairy root lines than in the GUS hairy root line, in

247

agreement with the generally higher transcript levels of the genes related to GSL biosynthesis.

248

The overexpression of IQD1-1 and IQD1-2 led to an increase in the expression of genes

249

associated with GSL biosynthesis and accumulation (including both aliphatic and indolic GSLs),



250

similar to that previously reported by Maggie Levy et al. These authors reported that IQD1

251

functions as a positive regulator of GSL accumulation, increasing the content of total GSLs up to

252

2-fold that observed in wild-type A. thaliana. While MYb29-1 and MYB29-2 overexpression led

253

to an increase in aliphatic GSLs in watercress hairy roots, IQD1-1, IQD1-2, MYB29-1, and

254

MYB29-2 overexpression stimulated the expression of genes involved in the GSL biosynthetic

255

pathway, inducing GSL accumulation. Similarly, Hirai et al. and Gigolashvili et al. 35,36 reported

256

that MYB29 probably played a key role in the regulation of aliphatic GSL biosynthetic genes in

257

A. thaliana. Moreover, MYB29 overexpression increased the levels of both short- and long-

258

chained aliphatic GSLs in plants.13 In fact, the content of the main short-chained aliphatic

259

glucosinolate 4-methylsulfinylbutyl was increased about 2- to 4-fold, and that of 3-

260

methylsulfinylpropyl and 5-methylsulfinylpentyl GSLs about 2- to 6-fold in relation to control

261

plants. The MYB29 TF was shown to specifically trans-activate genes within the aliphatic GSL

262

biosynthetic pathway, namely, MAM1-3, CYP79F1, CYP83A1, SUR1, SOT17, and SOT18.13,14,18

263

Yimeng Li et al.19 showed that expression levels of BCAT4 were also affected by MYB29 gene

264

manipulation.

265

To our knowledge, this is the first study to enhance GSL production in the hairy roots of

266

watercress by overexpressing the cabbage TFs IQD1-1, IQD1-2, MYB29-1, and MYB29-2.

267

Results obtained here might be useful for elucidating GSL biosynthetic pathways in hairy roots

268

or for targeted genetic engineering, as it is clearly shown that GSL production depends on the

269

examined TFs. Transgenic hairy roots produced higher levels of GSLs and generally exhibited

270

higher gene transcript levels than GUS hairy roots, suggesting that MYB29-1 and MYB29-2 TFs

271

have a central regulatory role in the aliphatic GSL pathway while IQD1-1 and IQD1-2 TFs play

272

a key role in both aliphatic and indolic GSL biosynthesis.
