英文摘要 | Superoxide dismutases (SODs) are crucial in scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS); however, studies regarding SOD functions in insects under cold conditions are rare. In this paper, two novel Cu/Zn-SOD genes in the desert beetle Microdera punctipennis, an extracellular copper/zinc SOD (MpecCu/Zn-SOD) and an intracellular copper/zinc SOD (MpicCu/Zn-SOD), were identified and characterized. The results of quantitative real-time PCR showed that MpecCu/Zn-SOD expression was significantly up-regulated by 4 degrees C exposure for 0.5 h, but MpicCu/Zn-SOD was not. Superoxide anion radical (O-2(center dot-)) content in beetles under 4 degrees C exposure for 0.5 h showed an initial sharp increase and fluctuated during the cold treatment period, which was consistent with the relative mRNA level of MpecCu/Zn-SOD. The total SOD activity in the beetle was negatively correlated to the O-2(center dot-) content with a correlation coefficient of -0.437. An E. coli system was employed to study the function of each MpCu/Zn-SOD gene. The fusion proteins Trx-His-MpCu/Zn-SODs were over expressed in E. coli BL21 using pET32a vector, and identified by SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. The transformed bacteria BL21(pET32a-MpecCu/Zn-SOD) and BL21(pET32a-MpicCu/Zn-SOD) showed increased cold tolerance to -4 degrees C as well as increased SOD activity compared to the control BL21(pET32a). The relative conductivity and malondialdehyde content in the two MpCu/Zn-SODs transformed bacteria under -4 degrees C were significantly lower than the control BL21(pET32a). Furthermore, BL21(pET32a-MpecCu/Zn-SOD) had significantly higher SOD activity and cold tolerance than BL21(pET32a-MpicCu/Zn-SOD) under -4 degrees C treatment, and had lower conductivity than BL21(pET32a-MpicCu/Zn-SOD). In conclusion, low temperature led to the accumulation of O-2(center dot-) in M. punctipennis, which stimulated the expression of extracellular MpCu/Zn-SOD gene and the increase of total SOD activity. E. coli overexpressing Trx-His-MpCu/Zn-SODs increased resistance to cold treatment-induced oxidative stress. Our findings will be helpful in further study of Cu/Zn-SOD genes in insect cold-tolerance. |
