Since IMOs are stimulating materials to Bifidobacteria and total lactic acid bacteria of human intestines(7),they are of special interest to the food industry.In addition,IMOs are also utilized in animal feed to increase dry matter and calcium digestibility(9).It has been reported that,among all the R-glucosidases,A.niger R-glucosidase gives a notable yield of total transglycosylating pro-ducts(10),therefore,the preparation of R-glucosidase from A.niger has been long investigated by many researchers.However,low yield of R-glucosidase from wild-type A.niger makes it uneconomical for large-scale industrial application,thus genetic engineering approach is highly necessary for the expression of this enzyme in a new host of efficiency.Previously,A.niger R-glucosidase gene aglu was identi-fied by Kimura(1).Biochemical studies showed that aglu was a pro-protein(11).It was suggested that the pro-protein was subjectedto limited proteolysis after secretion from the A.niger cells and14residues inside the polypeptide were cleaved,which resulted in aheterosubunit protein of the mature form of R-glucosidase(11).Probably due to this special phenomena,expression of aglu has beenattempted only in fungal species,such as Aspergillus nidulans(11)andEmericella nidulans(12).Increasing copy number of aglu by chro-mosomal integration could also improve the yield of R-glucosidase inA.niger(13).However,the yield obtained by these efforts was still low and could not reach the requirement of industrial applications.The yeast Pichia pastoris expression system,as a eukaryoticexpression system,has been a favorite system for expressingheterologous proteins due to its many advantages,such as highproduction and high secretion efficiency(14).The Pichia expres-sion system has been extensively used in the enzyme industry forthe production of recombinant proteins(15).In our previous work,the cDNA of A.niger(No.SG136)R-glucosidase was clonedby overlap-PCR and expressed in P.pastoris(16).However,itwas found that the biological activity of the recombinant enzymewas low.This study described the cloning of the cDNA of R-glucosidase from another strain of A.niger(CICIM F0620)by RT-PCR and its expression in P.pastoris.In addition,thecharacterization of the recombinant enzyme from P.pastoriswas also investigated.These studies provide the basis for theapplication of recombinant R-glucosidase in the industry ofIMOs production.MATERIALS AND METHODSStrains,Vectors and Materials.The strain of A.niger(No.CICIM F0620)was from China Center for Type Culture Collection(CCTCC).*Corresponding author.Phone:þ86-510-85327802.Fax:þ86-510-85327802.E-mail:jingwu@(J.W.);jchen@jiangnan.(J.C.)./JAFCPublished on Web04/06/2010©2010American Chemical Society4820J.Agric.Food Chem.,Vol.58,No.8,2010Chen et al.P.pastoris KM71and the plasmid pPIC9K were obtained from Invitro-gen.The EZ-10Spin Column Plasmid Mini-Preps kit,agarose gel DNA purification kit,restriction enzymes,and T4DNA ligase were obtained from TakaRa(Dalian,China).p-Nitrophenyl-R-D-glucopyranoside (p NPG)was obtained from Seebio Biotech.Inc.(Shanghai,China).Endo H f was obtained from New England Biolabs(Beijing,China).Other chemicals were obtained from Sinopharm Chemical Reagent Co.Ltd. (Shanghai,China).DNA primers were synthesized by Shanghai Sangon Biological Engineering Technology&Services Co.Ltd.(Shanghai, China).DNA sequencing was performed by Shanghai Sangon Biological Engineering Technology&Services Co.Ltd.(Shanghai,China).Gene Cloning of A.niger r-Glucosidase.The cDNA of A.niger R-glucosidase exclude the fragment of its signal peptide was cloned by RT-PCR.Total RNA of A.niger was extracted and purified as described previously(17).cDNA was synthesized using SuperScript III First-Strand Synthesis System for RT-PCR(Invitrogen,USA).The obtained first-strand cDNA was served as template for PCR.The cloning primer sequences were designed according to GenBank(GeneID:4991096)as follows:ATTAATGCGGCCGCGTCCACCACTGCCCCT TCC(for-ward primer)and AGCACTAGCGGCCGCCCATTCCAATACC-CAGT TTTCC(reverse primer).The Not I restriction site(underlined) was designed into the primers.The amplification was carried out under the following conditions:the first step was at95°C for4min,followed by 30cycles of94°C for45s,58°C for45s,and72°C for4min,and the final extension was carried out at72°C for10min.The PCR product was digested with Not I,gel-purified and then ligated into pPIC9K which was subjected to a similar treatment.The recombinant plasmid,pPIC9K/aglu, was identified by restriction analysis and sequencing.Expression of r-Glucosidase in P.pastoris.The recombinant plasmid pPIC9K/aglu was linearized with Bgl II and then electroporated into P.pastoris KM71.The transformants were selected at30°C on the MD agar plates for2-4days.The presence of the R-glucosidase gene in the transformants was confirmed by PCR using yeast genomic DNA as template.For expression,the colonies were grown in10mL of YPD medium at30°C for24h,then inoculated into50mL of BMGY medium and shaken (200rpm)at30°C until OD600of5-6was reached.The cells were collected by centrifugation at5000rpm for5min at4°C,resuspended in25mL of BMMY.To maintain induction,methanol was supplemented every24h to a final concentration of1.0%(v/v)throughout the induction phase.The recombinant P.pastoris with the highest R-glucosidase yield was used to scale up fermentation in a3L fermentor(BIOFLO110,America). The fermentation began at batch growth phase in1.5L BSM at30°C and pH5.5,and the pH was maintained with ammonium hydroxide.After the level of dissolved oxygen increased,continuous glycerol feeding was carried out until the OD600reached100.When the dissolved oxygen increased again,a methanol solution was added to the fermentor.The level of dissolved oxygen was maintained above30%throughout the induction phase.DO-stat methanol feeding strategies were applied.Hydrolytic Activity of Enzyme.The hydrolytic activity of R-gluco-sidase was measured as the amount of p-nitrophenol(p NP)released from p NPG(18).The reaction mixture contained1mL of100mM sodium acetate buffer(pH5.5),0.05mL of10mM p NPG,and0.05mL of appropriately diluted enzyme.The reaction was incubated at50°C for 15min and terminated by1mL of1M sodium carbonate solution.One unit(U)of enzyme activity was defined as the amount of1μmol p NP produced per min under the above conditions.Transglycosylation Activity of Enzyme.The reaction mixture (2.5mL),which consisted of2mL of10%(w/v)maltose solution in 100mM sodium acetate buffer(pH5.5)and500μL of enzyme(to reach a final activity of0.4U/mL),was incubated at60°C.At different intervals, 100μL reaction mixtures were taken and incubated at100°C for5min to inactivate the enzyme.Samples were centrifuged at12,000rpm for5min and analyzed by HPLC.The HPLC analysis was performed on an Agilent separation module(model1200)equipped with quaternary pump,using a Hypersil NH2column(4.6Â250mm).The mobile phase consisted of75% acetonitrile and25%water used at a flow rate of1mL/min.A refractive index detector(Agilent model1200)was used(5).Purification of Recombinant r-Glucosidase.The culture super-natant of engineered P.pastoris was obtained by centrifugation at10000g for20min and then concentrated by ultrafiltration(30kDa cutoff membrane,Amicon).R-Glucosidase was precipitated with70%(v/v)ethanol and collected by centrifugation(10000g,20min).The precipitate was dissolved in50mL of buffer A(20mM sodium acetate buffer,pH5.5), and dialyzed against two liters of buffer A at4°C overnight.Solid (NH4)2SO4was added to the dialyzed sample to a final concentration of 20%(w/v).The sample was filtered(0.22μm)and loaded onto a Phenyl HP Sepharose FF column pre-equilibrated with20%(NH4)2SO4in buffer A.A reverse gradient from20%to0%(NH4)2SO4in buffer A was applied at a flow rate of1.0mL/mim over60min.The fractions containing p NPG hydrolase activity were pooled and dialyzed against1L of buffer A overnight.The purified enzyme was stored at-80°C.Molecular Weight Determinations.The subunit molecular weight of recombinant R-glucosidase was determined by SDS-PAGE.The native molecular weight of recombinant R-glucosidase was determined by gel filtration utilizing a Superdex20010/300GL column.The elution volume was determined in triplicate for all samples and standards.Deglycosylation of Recombinant r-Glucosidase.Ten micrograms of recombinant R-glucosidase was denatured with glycoprotein denaturing buffer at100°C for10min.After the addition of G5reaction buffer,Endo H f was added and the reaction mixture was incubated for1h at37°C(19).HPLC Analysis of Purified Recombinant Enzyme.The purified enzyme was analyzed by gel filtration HPLC on an Agilent separation module(model1200)equipped with quaternary pump,using a TSK-gel G3000SWXL column(7.5Â300mm).The mobile phase consisted of 10mM sodium phosphate buffer(pH6.8)used at a flow rate of0.6mL/ min.In addition,the enzyme was also subjected to a reverse-phase HPLC with a C18column(3.9Â150mm)(Delta-Pak).The reverse-phase HPLC analysis was performed according to the previous report(2).Temperature Optimum and Thermostability.The optimal tempera-ture of the recombinant enzyme was measured at temperatures ranging between30and90°C at pH5.5,using p NPG as substrate in100mM acetate buffer.Since the pH of acetate buffer is temperature-dependent, the pH of the buffers was adjusted to5.5at the desired temperatures.At each temperature,the buffer and p NPG were preincubated for5min.The reaction was initiated by the addition of the enzyme and allowed to proceed for an additional15min.The thermostability was determined by incubating the enzyme in100mM acetate buffer(pH5.5)at the various temperatures(50-70°C).At different intervals,samples were taken and assayed for residual activity.The experiments were carried out in three independent experiments.pH Optimum and Stability.pH optimum of the recombinant enzyme was measured over a pH range of3.0-7.0by using acetate buffer (pH3.0-5.0),sodium phosphate buffer(pH5.0-6.0)and Tris-HCl buffer (pH6.0-7.0),respectively.To determine the pH stability,the enzyme was preincubated in the various buffers described above at4°C for24h,and then assayed for residual activity at pH5.5.The experiments were carried out in three independent experiments.Determination of Kinetic Parameters.Enzyme assays were per-formed in acetate buffer(pH5.5)at50°C using p NPG as substrate.Sub-strate concentrations were in the range of0.1-2.0mM.The Michaelis-Menten parameters,V max and K m,were calculated from double reciprocal plots of reaction curve(20).The experiments were carried out in three independent experiments.Effect of Ions on Enzyme Activity.To determine the effect of metal ions(Ca2þ,Co2þ,Mg2þ,Mn2þ,Pb2þ,Zn2þ,Fe2þ,Ba2þ,Ni2þ,Cu2þ, Al3þ,and Pb2þ)on the recombinant R-glucosidase activity,the enzyme was preincubated with each metal ion at a1mM concentration in100mM acetate buffer(pH5.5)at50°C for1h.The residual enzyme activity was assayed at50°C.The experiments were carried out in three independent experiments.RESULTSCloning and Expression of r-Glucosidase in P.pastoris.The cDNA of R-glucosidase excluding the fragment of signal peptide was reverse transcribed from the total RNA of A.niger(CICIM F0620)and cloned into P.pastoris expression vector pPIC9K. Nucleotide sequence analysis showed that the gene length was 2883bp encoding a protein consisting of960amino acids.The cDNA sequence and amino acid sequence were compared with those of A.niger CBS513.88R-glucosidase.It was shown that the cDNA sequence shared99.8%homology with that of A.nigerArticle J.Agric.Food Chem.,Vol.58,No.8,20104821CBS513.88R -glucosidase (GenBank Accession No.4991096)and differed by four nucleotides.The amino acid sequence shared 100%identity with that of A.niger CBS513.88R -glucosidase (NCBI Accession No.XP_001402053).For expression,the recombinants were screened in MD and YPD/G418plates,and the insert was identified by PCR.The P.pastoris KM71transformed with vector pPIC9K was used as control.After 120h of induction on methanol in a shake flask,the p NPG hydrolase activity in the culture supernatant of recombi-nant P.pastoris KM71/pPIC9K-aglu reached 1.15U/mL,which was 18.2-fold higher than that of native R -glucosidase extracted from A.niger (CICIM F0620).The protein concentration in the culture medium was 517μg/mL.SDS -PAGE analysis showed that there was one major band of protein,approximately 145kDa,secreted into the culture medium (Figure 1).No p NPG hydrolase activity was detected in the culture supernatant of the control strain under the same culture conditions.The expression efficiency of the engineered P.pastoris was further explored in a 3L fermentor.As shown in Figure 2,after methanol induction for 5days,R -glucosidase activity and protein concentration in the culture supernatant were 2.07U/mL and 918μg/mL,which were 1.80-fold and 1.78-fold higher than those in shake condition,respectively.The yield of recombinant enzyme in the culture media of engineered P.pastoris was 32.8-fold higher than that of native R -glucosidase extracted from A.niger (No.CICM F0620).Transglycosylation Activity of Recombinant r -Glucosidase.To determine whether the expressed R -glucosidase has transglycosy-lation activity,the culture supernatant of recombinant P.pastoris KM71/pPIC9K-aglu was incubated with 10%(w/v)maltose solution at 60°C.The progress of the reaction was monitored by HPLC.To identify the components in the reaction mixture,theretention time of each peak from HPLC was compared with those of IMOs standards.As shown in Figure 3,isomaltose,panose,isomaltotriose were able to be detected in the reaction mixture by HPLC.The results showed that recombinant R -glucosidase had transglycosylation activity.Purification of the Recombinant r -Glucosidase.The recombi-nant R -glucosidase was purified from culture supernatant by ultrafiltration,ethanol fraction and hydrophobic interaction chromatography.The purified enzyme was homogeneous by SDS -PAGE with a specific activity of 2.52U/mg.Physical Properties.The molecular weight of recombinant enzyme as determined by SDS -PAGE was 145kDa (Figure 4).The molecular weight of the native enzyme determined by gel filtration chromatography was 277kDa (Figure 5),1.9times the molecular weight determined by SDS -PAGE.Therefore,recom-binant R -glucosidase is predicted to have a dimeric structure in solution.In addition,the calculated molecular weight of the mature R -glucosidase was 106kDa (http://www.expasy.ch/tools/pi_tool.html),which is different from that estimated from SDS -PAGE.This difference is probably caused by glycosylation.Sequence analysis showed that there were 18potential N-glycosylation sites in A.niger R -glucosidase (http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/).In order to confirm whether the recombinant enzyme is glycosy-lated,the purified enzyme was subjected to be treated by deglycosylase (Endo H f ).As shown in Figure 4,the molecular weight of the expressed enzyme was reduced after the treatment.These results indicated that the recombinant protein was glyco-sylated in the host of P.pastoris .Furthermore,the purified enzyme showed one single peak by HPLC with a TSK-gel column,while it showed two peaks by HPLC with a reverse phase column (Figure 6).Temperature Optimum and Thermostability.The optimum temperature curve of the purified R -glucosidase showed that the enzyme activity increased with increasing temperature from 30to 60°C and decreased from 60to 90°C (Figure 7A ).At the optimum temperature of 60°C,the activity was 5-fold higher than that at 30°C.The thermostable experiment showed that the enzyme retained 50%of activity after 72h at 50°C or 3h at 60°C,but was rapidly inactivated above 70°C (Figure 7B ).Since the stability of the recombinant R -glucosidase is similar to the wild-type enzyme (2),which was stated to be stable,the recombinant enzyme from the yeast expression system in the present study is also considered to be stable against heat.pH Optimum and Stability.The optimum pH of recombinant R -glucosidase was 4.5(Figure 8A ).The enzyme exhibited the highest enzymatic activity (>90%of maximum)between pH 3.5and 5.5.It retained more than 50%of its maximal activity between pH 3.0and 8.0after incubation at 4°C for 24h (Figure 8B ).Kinetic Studies.The kinetics of the recombinant enzyme was analyzed using p NPG as substrate.At 50°C,the K m and V max of the recombinant enzyme were 0.446mM and 43.48U/mg,respectively.The K m value was similar to that of the native enzyme,which was 0.620mM (12).Metal Requirement.Previously,it was reported that the activity of R -glucosidases from Escherichia coli (21),Mucor racemosus (22)and Thermotoqa maritima (23)was able to be stimulated in the presence of Al 3þ,Ca 2þ,K þ,Mg 2þor Mn 2þ(1-10mM),while there is no metal requirement information for R -glucosidase of A.niger .In the present study,the metal requirement of the recombinant R -glucosidase was analyzed by using 1mM metal ions (Ca 2þ,Co 2þ,Mg 2þ,Mn 2þ,Pb 2þ,Zn 2þ,Fe 2þ,Ba 2þ,Ni 2þ,Cu 2þ,Al 3þ,and Pb 2þ).The enzyme was preincubated witheachFigure 1.SDS -PAGE analysis of culture supernatant of engineered P.pastoris .Lane 1marker;lanes 2-6culture

enzyme,which suggested that the structure and the catalysis of the enzyme are not sensitive to the metal ions in the experimental condition.DISCUSSIONIn the industry of functional oligosaccharides,the transglyco-sylation activity of A.niger R -glucosidase has been applied to produce IMOs (7).In order to improve the yield of enzyme production,in the present study,cDNA of A.niger R -glucosidase was cloned and expressed in P.pastoris KM71.Previously,A.niger R -glucosidase was expressed in A.nidulans (11)and E.nidulans (12),and the expression level was reported to be 0.04U/mg and 0.96U/mg,respectively.In addition,the yield of recombinant R -glucosidase obtained from E.nidulans was re-ported to be 0.65U/mL (11).In the present study,the enzyme activity in the culture supernatant of a 3L fermentor could reach 2.07U/mL and 2.21U/mg protein.The high expression level obtained in the present study probably due to that,compared with filamentous fungal expression systems,the P.pastoris expression system has several advantages for expression of heterologous proteins,including use of the strong and regulated AOX1promoter,the effectively selectable markers,secretion signals and methods for coping with proteases (24).Previously,cDNA of A.niger (No.SG136)R -glucosidase was cloned and expressed in P.pastoris in our laboratory;however,the yield of recombinant R -glucosidase was only 0.08U/mL.The low expression level compared to that in the present study of A.niger (CICIM F0620)might be caused by nonidentical gene sequences in both cases as well as the low copy number of the target gene in the host cell.Thus,to the best of our knowledge,the production of recombinant R -glucosidase obtained in the present study represents the highest yield reported sofar.Figure

-glucosi-dase has been performed previously when the gene of A.niger R -glucosidase (including introns and extrons)was cloned and expressed using fungal species as host cell (11-13).Although in our previous study,the cDNA of A.niger R -glucosidase was cloned and expressed in yeast,only the condition of transglyco-sylation reaction of the recombinant enzyme was investi-gated (16).In order to demonstrate if the R -glucosidase from the fungal source A.niger has been successfully post-translational modified in the yeast expression system,in the present study,the biochemical properties of the recombinant enzyme were char-acterized in detail.Comparative biochemical characterization of native R -gluco-sidase from A.niger and recombinant enzyme from P.pastoris indicated that they had similar optimal pH and temperature.The recombinant R -glucosidase remained active at a wide pH range and was stable against thermal denaturation.These results showed that the recombinant R -glucosidase was potentially to be effectively useful in the preparation of IMOs.Wild-type R -glucosidase from A.niger is a glycoprotein con-taining 25.5-27.6%carbohydrate (25).Deglycosylation analysis of the recombinant enzyme indicated that it was glycosylated in P.pastoris .Considering the similar catalytic properties between the wild-type and recombinant enzyme,it seems like the recom-binant enzyme has the correct glycosylation patterns to ensure its biological activity.Previously,it was reported that the gene length of aglu is 3124bp,containing three introns and four extrons.It encodes 985amino acids,and the N-terminal sequence from Met-1to Leu-25is predicted to be a signal peptide which is similar to the typical eukaryotic signal sequence (11).In addition,it was found that the mature wild-type R -glucosidase was actually a heterosubunit protein,in which the two heterosubunits were composed of residues 26-252and 267-985of aglu respectively.Even though the mechanism of this mature protein formation process has not been demonstrated,it was suggested that the pro-protein of aglu was subjected to a limited proteolysis after secretion from the cells (11).Interestingly,it was found that the two heterosubunits had a very tight interaction and could not be separated by SDS -PAGE,while they were able to be separated by reverse-phase HPLC (2).In the present study,a similar phenomenon was also observed.The recombinant enzyme exhibitedoneFigure 7.Effects of temperature on activity and stability of recombinant R -glucosidase.(A )Temperature optimum.The activity of

the recombinant enzyme failed probably due to glycosylation issues.Considering that the biochemical pro-perties of recombinant enzyme in the present study are similar to those of the wild-type,it is assumed that the recombinant enzyme was also proteolyzed after synthesis and formed a heterosubunit protein.If this is correct,it may be presumed that the protease which hydrolyzes the pro-R-glucosidase has no strict substrate specificity.It not only exists in A.niger but also exists in P.pastoris.Further information is needed to support this hypothesis.In summary,cDNA of A.niger R-glucosidase was cloned, expressed and characterized in detail.The expression level of2.07 U/mL and2.21U/mg protein obtained in the culture media in the present study represents the highest yield of A.niger R-glucosi-dase reported so far.Detailed biochemical characterization demonstrated that the recombinant enzyme from P.pastoris was similar to that of native R-glucosidase from A.niger, suggesting that the recombinant enzyme has been successfully post-translationally modified in the P.pastoris expression system. Further enhancement of the yield of the recombinant R-glucosi-dase by fermentation technology is currently underway in our laboratory,and these studies will provide the basis for the application of recombinant R-glucosidase in the industry of IMOs production.LITERATURE CITED(1)Kimura, A.;Takata,M.;Sakai,O.;Matsui,H.;Takai,N.;Takayanagi,T.;Nishimura,I.;Uozumi,T.;Chiba,plete amino acid sequence of crystalline alpha-glucosidase from Aspergil-lus niger.Biosci.,Biotechnol.,Biochem.1992,56(8),1368–1370.

PH4of Petunia Is an R2R3MYB Protein That Activates Vacuolar Acidification through Interactions withBasic-Helix-Loop-Helix Transcription Factors of the Anthocyanin Pathway WFrancesca Quattrocchio,1Walter Verweij,1Arthur Kroon,Cornelis Spelt,Joseph Mol,and Ronald Koes2Institute for Molecular and Cellular Biology,Vrije Universiteit,1081HV Amsterdam,The NetherlandsThe Petunia hybrida genes ANTHOCYANIN1(AN1)and AN2encode transcription factors with a basic-helix-loop-helix (BHLH)and a MYB domain,respectively,that are required for anthocyanin synthesis and acidification of the vacuole in petal cells.Mutation of PH4results in a bluerflower color,increased pH of petal extracts,and,in certain genetic backgrounds,the disappearance of anthocyanins and fading of theflower color.PH4encodes a MYB domain protein that is expressed in the petal epidermis and that can interact,like AN2,with AN1and the related BHLH protein JAF13in yeast two-hybrid assays. Mutation of PH4has little or no effect on the expression of structural anthocyanin genes but strongly downregulates the expression of CAC16.5,encoding a protease-like protein of unknown biological function.Constitutive expression of PH4 and AN1in transgenic plants is sufficient to activate CAC16.5ectopically.Together with the previousfinding that AN1 domains required for anthocyanin synthesis and vacuolar acidification can be partially separated,this suggests that AN1 activates different pathways through interactions with distinct MYB proteins.INTRODUCTIONIn plants,the vacuole occupies a large part(up to90%)of the cell volume and is important for a variety of physiological processes, such as pH homeostasis,osmoregulation,ion transport,and stor-age of metabolites.Moreover,it plays an important role in cell growth,because the enlargement of a cell is mostly attributable to an increase in the volume of the vacuole rather than of the cytoplasm(reviewed in Taiz,1992;Maeshima,2001;Gaxiola et al., 2002).The lumen of vacuoles is acidic compared with the cytoplasm, and in some cells(e.g.,in lemon[Citrus limon]fruit)it can reach pH values as low as1.Among the most abundant proteins on the vacuolar membrane are vacuolar ATPase(v-ATPase)and pyrophosphatase proton pumps(Szponarski et al.,2004)that transport protons from the cytoplasm into the vacuole,thereby contributing to the acidification of the vacuolar lumen.The resulting electrochemical gradient across the vacuolar mem-brane is the driving force for the transport of a variety of compounds(ions,sugars)via secondary symport and antiport transporters and channels(reviewed in Taiz,1992;Maeshima, 2001;Gaxiola et al.,2002).In most species,the coloration offlowers and fruits results from the accumulation offlavonoid pigments(anthocyanins)in the vacuoles of(sub)epidermal cells.Because the absorption spectrum of anthocyanins depends on the pH of their environ-ment(de Vlaming et al.,1983),the color of a tissue depends in part on the pH of the vacuolar lumen,thus makingflower color a convenient and reliable reporter to monitor alterations in vacuolar pH(Yoshida et al.,1995,2003)In morning glory(Ipomoea tricolor)petals,the vacuolar pH is relatively low when theflower bud opens,resulting in a red color, but upon further maturation,the vacuolar pH increases and the petals acquire a strong blue color(Yoshida et al.,1995).This color change and the increase of vacuolar pH require a putative Naþ/Hþexchanger encoded by the PURPLE gene(Fukada-Tanaka et al.,2000).Most likely,PURPLE transports sodium ions into and protons out of the vacuole,resulting in a less acidic vacuole and a bluer color.Petunia hybridaflowers normally have a lower pH than Ipo-moeaflowers,and the color of wild-typeflowers stays on the reddish(low pH)side of the color spectrum.By genetic analyses, seven loci(named PH1to PH7)have been identified that,when mutated,cause a more bluishflower color and an increase in the pH of crude petal extracts(Wiering,1974;de Vlaming et al.,1983; van Houwelingen et al.,1998),suggesting that these genes are required for acidification of the vacuole(de Vlaming et al.,1983). Mutations in the genes ANTHOCYANIN1(AN1),AN2,and AN11 cause,besides the loss of anthocyanin pigments,an increased pH of petal extracts.That this pH shift is at least in part attributable to an increased pH of the vacuolar lumen was evident from the bluishflower color specified by particular an1 alleles(formerly known as ph6)that lost the capacity to activate the vacuolar acidification function but could still drive anthocy-anin synthesis(Spelt et al.,2002).1These authors contributed equally to this work.2To whom correspondence should be addressed.E-mail ronald.koes@falw.vu.nl;fax31-20-5987155.The authors responsible for distribution of materials integral to thefindings presented in this article in accordance with the policy describedin the Instructions for Authors()are:FrancescaQuattrocchio(francesca.quattrocchio@falw.vu.nl)and Ronald Koes(ronald.koes@falw.vu.nl).W Online version contains Web-only data.Article,publication date,and citation information can be found at/cgi/doi/10.1105/tpc.105.034041.The Plant Cell,Vol.18,1274–1291,May2006,ª2006American Society of Plant BiologistsAN1and AN11are required for transcriptional activation of a subset of structural anthocyanin genes,encoding the enzymes of the pathway,in all pigmented tissues(Quattrocchio et al., 1993)and encode a basic-helix-loop-helix(BHLH)transcription factor and a WD40protein,respectively(de Vetten et al.,1997; Spelt et al.,2000).AN2encodes a MYB-type transcription factor whose function appears to be(partially)redundant,because it is expressed only in petals and not in other pigmented tissues (Quattrocchio et al.,1999).Moreover,even in the an2null mutant, pigmentation of the petals is reduced,but not fully blocked,and the pH shift in an2petal homogenates is smaller than that in an1 or an11petals(Quattrocchio et al.,1993;Spelt et al.,2002).In addition,AN1and AN11play a role in the development of epidermal cells in the seed coat(Spelt et al.,2002).The anthocyanin pathway has been shown to be activated by similar MYB,BHLH,and WD40proteins in a wide variety of species,indicating that this function is well conserved(reviewed in Winkel-Shirley,2001;Koes et al.,2005).Several studies revealed that these MYB,BHLH,and WD40proteins could interact physically,indicating that they may operate in one transcription activation pathway and may activate their target genes as a(ternary)complex(Goff et al.,1992;Zhang et al.,2003; Baudry et al.,2004;Kroon,2004;Zimmermann et al.,2004). Besides petunia,Arabidopsis thaliana is the only other species in which these activators are known to control multiple processes. In Arabidopsis,the WD40protein TRANSPARENT TESTA GLABRA1(TTG1)(Walker et al.,1999)is required for the syn-thesis of anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin pigments,the pro-duction of seed mucilage,and the development of trichomes on stems and leaves(Koornneef,1981),whereas in roots it sup-presses the formation of root hairs in certain cells(Galway et al., 1994).During the regulation of anthocyanin synthesis,trichome development,and nonhair development in the root,TTG1coop-erates with two functionally equivalent BHLH proteins encoded by GLABRA3(GL3)and ENHANCER OF GLABRA3(EGL3) (Payne et al.,2000;Bernhardt et al.,2003;Ramsay et al.,2003; Zhang et al.,2003),whereas synthesis of proanthocyanidins in the seed coat depends on a distinct BHLH protein encoded by TRANSPARENT TESTA8(TT8)(Nesi et al.,2000).TTG1and GL3/ EGL3or TT8activate these distinct processes by associating with distinct MYB partners.During trichome development,they interact with R2R3MYBs encoded by GLABROUS1(GL1)or MYB23(Oppenheimer et al.,1991;Kirik et al.,2001,2005),and for the development of nonhair cells in the root they interact with a functionally equivalent MYB encoded by WEREWOLF(WER) (Lee and Schiefelbein,2001),whereas for anthocyanin synthesis, their MYB partner is probably PRODUCTION OF ANTHOCYA-NIN PIGMENT1(PAP1)or PAP2(Borevitz et al.,2000;Baudry et al.,2004;Zimmermann et al.,2004).The involvement of anthocyanin regulators in trichome and root hair development is seen only in Arabidopsis and not in other species for which regulatory anthocyanin mutants have been isolated,such as Antirrhinum majus,maize(Zea mays),or petunia. Nevertheless,RED(R)(BHLH)and PALE ALEURONE COLOR (PAC1)(WD40)from maize can restore the hair defects in Arabi-dopsis ttg1mutants(Lloyd et al.,1992;Carey et al.,2004), indicating that the functional diversification did not depend on alterations in these WD40and BHLH proteins but on the diver-gence of their MYB partners and/or their downstream target genes.Whether these MYB,BHLH,and WD40proteins also activate vacuolar acidification in species other than petunia is unclear.To unravel the mechanisms and the biochemical pathways by which AN1,AN11,and AN2control vacuolar pH,we set out to isolate the genetically defined PH loci by transposon-tagging strategies and the downstream structural genes by RNA profiling methods.Here,we describe the isolation and molecular char-acterization of PH4.We show that PH4is a member of the MYB family of transcription factors that is expressed in the petal epidermis and that can interact physically with AN1and JAF13,a functionally related BHLH protein that can also drive anthocyanin synthesis(Quattrocchio et al.,1998).Because PH4plays no apparent role in anthocyanin synthesis,we propose that AN1 activates anthocyanin synthesis and vacuolar acidification through interactions with distinct MYB proteins.RESULTSMutations That Alter pH in PetalsThe petunia line R27contains functional alleles for all of the regulatory anthocyanin genes that color the petal(AN1,AN2,and AN11)but contains mutations in the structural genes HYDROX-YLATION AT FIVE(HF1)and HF2,both encoding FLAVONOID 3959HYDROXYLASE(Holton et al.,1993),and RHAMNOSYLA-TION AT THREE(RT),encoding ANTHOCYANIN RHAMNOSYL-TRANSFERASE(Kroon et al.,1994);consequently,the major anthocyanins synthesized are cyanidin derivatives(de Vlaming et al.,1984;Wiering and de Vlaming,1984)(Figure1).In addition, R27is mutant for FLAVONOL(FL),which strongly reduces flavonol synthesis(Figure1)and increases the accumulation of cyanidin derivatives(de Vlaming et al.,1984;Wiering and de Vlaming,1984)(Figure1).Consequently,theflowers of R27have a bright red color(Figure2A).The lines W138and W137derive from R27by dTPH1insertions in AN1and AN11,respectively (alleles an1-W138and an11-W137),and,consequently,bear whiteflowers with red or pink revertant spots(Doodeman et al., 1984a,1984b)(Figure2B).Among progeny of W138and W137,we found several new mutations affectingflower color(van Houwelingen et al.,1998; Spelt et al.,2002).In one class of mutants,the color of the AN1or AN11revertant spots(in an an1-W138or an11-W137back-ground)(Figure2C)or of the whole corolla(in an AN1or AN11 germinal revertant)had changed from red to purplish(Figures2D and2E).Subsequent complementation analyses showed that these mutations represented new alleles of PH2(allele ph2-A2414),PH3(allele ph3-V2068),and PH4(alleles ph4-V2166, ph4-B3021,ph4-X2052,and ph4-V2153)(see Supplemental Table1online).Yet another unstable ph4allele(ph4-X2377)was recovered from the Syngenta breeding program in a family segregating3:1for wild types with red petals and mutants with purplish petals with an occasional revertant red spot.The alleles ph4-V2166,ph4-V2153,an1-W138,an1-W225, and an11-W134all cause a similar increase in petal extract pH (Figure2F)(Spelt et al.,2002).To determine at which stage AN1,The PH4Gene of Petunia1275AN11,PH3,and PH4are active,we analyzed flowers of different developmental stages.Figure 2G shows that wild-type petals start to acidify around developmental stage 4,when the bud is about to open.In an1,ph3,and ph4mutants,this acidification is reduced but not blocked completely.This finding suggests that multiple vacuolar acidification pathways operate in petals,some of which are independent of AN1,AN11,PH4,and PH3.Analysis of double mutant flowers showed that the pH of an1ph4or an11ph4petal homogenates is not significantly different from that of any of the single mutants,suggesting that these genes operate in the same vacuolar acidification pathway (Figure 2F).To test whether alterations in pigment synthesis also contrib-uted to the color change in ph4petals,we analyzed anthocyanins in wild-type (R27)and ph4-V2153petals of closed buds (stage 4)by HPLC.Figure 2H shows that both genotypes accumulate a nearly identical mixture of anthocyanins.R27petals synthesize only small amounts of flavonol copigments (quercetin deriva-tives)as a result of its fl/flgenotype,and HPLC analysis did not reveal clear differences in the accumulation of these compounds in ph4petals (see Supplemental Figure 1online).Thus,the ph4mutation has,at least in the R27genetic background,little or no effect on the synthesis and modification of anthocyanins.Early genetic work had shown that a mutation in PH4or a closely linked gene triggers the complete fading of flower colorand the disappearance of anthocyanins after opening of the flower bud,if combined with a dominant allele at the FADING locus (Wiering,1974;de Vlaming et al.,1982).Anthocyanins with a 3RGac5G substitution pattern are particularly sensitive to fading,whereas the 3-glucosides (as in rt mutants like R27and derived lines)and the 3-rutinosides show little or no fading (de Vlaming et al.,1982).When we crossed the unstable ph4-V2166allele into a genetic background that allows the synthesis of 3RGac5G-substituted anthocyanins,the flowers displayed upon opening a blue-violet color and were dotted with red-violet spots and sectors resulting from reversions of ph4(Figure 2H).In the next days,the color of the blue-violet (ph4)cells faded to nearly white,whereas the red-violet (PH4)revertant sectors retained their color.Control crosses with isogenic PH4plants (lines R27and W138)yielded only progeny with evenly red-colored,nonfading corollas,whereas crosses with a stable reces-sive ph4-V2153parent gave only progeny with evenly colored blue-violet,fading corollas (ph4).This finding demonstrates that it is the mutation of PH4,and not that of a linked gene,that triggers fading.The an1-G621allele expresses a truncated AN1protein that can drive anthocyanin synthesis but not vacuolar acidification (Spelt et al.,2002).When crossed into a background that allows the synthesis of 3RGac5G-substituted anthocyanins,the an1-G621allele also triggered fading (Figure 2I),and similar results were obtained with the an1-B3196allele in distinct crosses.Strikingly,the unstable ph2-A2414(Figure 2J)and ph5(data not shown)alleles did not induce fading when crossed into an FA background synthesizing 3RGAac5G-substituted anthocyanins,suggesting that fading in an1and ph4petals is not triggered by the upregulation of vacuolar pH alone and may depend on some other vacuolar defect.Isolation of PH4Using Transposon-Tagged AllelesBecause most mutant alleles that arose in W138were attribut-able to insertions of a 284-bp dTPH1transposon (Souer et al.,1996;de Vetten et al.,1997;van Houwelingen et al.,1998;Quattrocchio et al.,1999;Spelt et al.,2000;Toben˜a-Santamaria et al.,2002;Vandenbussche et al.,2003),we anticipated that the unstable alleles ph4-V2166,ph4-X2052,and ph4-B3021might also harbor insertions of dTPH1.To identify the dTPH1copy in ph4-B3021,we analyzed dTPH1flanking sequences in mutant and wild-type plants by transpo-son display (van den Broek et al.,1998)and found a 98-bp fragment that was amplified from the three ph4-B3021plants analyzed but not from the two wild-type plants homozygous for the parental PH4allele (Figure 3A).Subsequent isolation,clon-ing,and sequencing of this fragment showed that it contained 66bp of dTPH1sequence and 32bp of flanking sequence that was identical to a cDNA clone (MYBa )that had been isolated inde-pendently by yeast two-hybrid screen using an AN1bait (see below).PCR experiments with gene-specific primers showed that in ph4-B3021and ph4-V2166plants,MYBa was disrupted by a 284-bp dTPH1insertion in the 59and 39ends of the protein-coding region,respectively (Figure 3B).Analysis of PH4progeny plants that originated from germinal reversions ofph4-B3021Figure 1.Genetic Control of the Anthocyanin Pathway in Petunia Petals.The main anthocyanins and flavonols (gray boxes)are synthesized via a branched pathway.Genes that control distinct steps are indicated in boldface italics.Malonyl-CoA and p -coumaroyl-CoA are converted by the enzymes CHALCONE SYNTHASE (expressed from two distinct genes,CHSa and CHSj ),CHALCONE ISOMERASE (encoded by CHIa ),and FLAVONOID 3HYDROXYLASE (encoded by AN3)into dihydro-kaempferol (dHK).Hydroxylation of dHK on the 39or the 39plus 59position is controlled by HT (for HYDROXYLATION AT THREE )and the homologs HF1and HF2(for HYDROXYLATION AT FIVE )to yield dihydroquercitin (dHQ)and dihydromyricitin (dHM),respectively.The simplest anthocyanins in petunia flowers are 3-glucosides (3G).Through the action of RT (for RHAMNOSYLATION AT FIVE )and AAT (for ANTHOCYANIN-RUTINOSIDE ACYLTRANSFERASE )and others,antho-cyanins with a 3-rutinoside p -coumaroyl-5-glucoside (3RGac5G)substi-tution pattern are generated.The colors displayed by the various anthocyanins (in a flPH background)are shown in parentheses.1276The Plant CellFigure

genetic background.The PH4Gene of Petunia 1277(Figure3C)and ph4-V2166(Figure3D)showed that reversion of the ph4phenotype correlated with excision of dTPH1from MYBa.DNA analyses of plants containing ph4-X2052or ph4-C3540, either in homozygous or heterozygous condition,showed that these mutants also contained dTPH1insertions in MYBa, whereas the stable recessive ph4-V2153mutants contained an ;4-kb TPH6insertion that is nearly identical to the TPH6 element found in the alleles an1-W17and an1-W219(Spelt et al.,2002)(Figure3B).Plants harboring the weakly unstable ph4-X2377allele contained a177-bp insertion29bp down-stream from the translation start site.The insertion isflanked by an8-bp target site duplication and has a12-bp terminal inverted repeat with similarity to the terminal inverted repeats of hAT family transposons,including dTPH1and Activator from maize. Because the internal sequences of the insertion show no simi-larity to other transposons and are too short to encode a transposase,it apparently represents a new(sub)family of non-autonomous petunia transposons that we named dTPH7.The ph4lines V64and M60both contain a dTPH1insertion in MYBa in exactly the same position(Figure3B).In summary,these data show that mutations in the isolated gene(MYBa)fully correlate with the phenotype conferred by the ph4mutant,implying that PH4is identical to MYBa.Below,we refer to this gene as PH4.PH4Encodes a MYB Domain ProteinSequence analysis of a full-size PH4cDNA and the correspond-ing genomic region showed that the PH4mRNA is encoded by two exons separated by a715-bp intron(Figure3B).The cDNA contains a single large open reading frame encoding a291–amino acid protein.Database searches showed that a103–amino acid domain,located near the N terminus,is conserved in a large number of plant and animal proteins all belonging to the MYB family of transcription factors(Figures4A and4B).The MYB domain consists of one,two,or three helix-helix-turn-helix motifs that potentially bind DNA.PH4,like the majority of plant MYBs(Stracke et al.,2001),contains only the repeats R2and R3 (Figure4B).R2R3MYB genes constitute a large family of;125genes in Arabidopsis and>85genes in rice(Oryza sativa)and have been categorized into42subgroups based on similarities in the encoded proteins and intron–exon structures(Stracke et al., 2001;Jiang et al.,2004).Generally,sequence similarity between MYB proteins is restricted to the N-terminal MYB domain,but19 subgroups of R2R3MYBs share some conserved motifs in their C-terminal domains that may indicate similarities in function (Stracke et al.,2001;Jiang et al.,2004).PH4is most similar to the R2R3MYB proteins BNLGHi233 from upland cotton(Gossypium hirsutum),MYBCS1and MYB5 from grape(Vitis vinifera),MYB5from Arabidopsis,and MYB4from rice(Figure4A).The clustering of R2R3MYBs in Figure4is in good agreement with previous analyses based on a much larger set of MYBs(Stracke et al.,2001;Jiang et al.,2004) and extends the data at some points.For example,grape MYBA1and tomato(Solanum lycopersicum)ANT1,recently identified regulators of the anthocyanin pathway in grape (Kobayashi et al.,2004)and tomato(Mathews et al.,2003), respectively,cluster with known members(AN2of petunia,PAP1 and PAP2of Arabidopsis)of subgroups6and N9as defined by Stracke et al.(2001)and Jiang et al.(2004),respectively.Curi-ously,C1and Pl,regulators of the anthocyanin pathway in maize, cluster in a distinct group(5/N8)together with TT2,a regulator of proanthocyanidin and anthocyanin synthesis in Arabidopsis (Shirley et al.,1995),again consistent with previous results. ODO1,an activator of the synthesis of phenylpropanoid vol-atiles in petuniaflowers,clusters with Arabidopsis MYB42and MYB85,similar to previous results(Verdonk et al.,2005),but it does not contain the conserved motif found in the C termini of MYB42and MYB85(Jiang et al.,2004).Figure4B shows that PH4,Arabidopsis MYB5,grape MYBCS1 and MYB5,cotton BNLGHi233,and rice MYB4share two con-served motifs in their C-terminal domains.Such motifs have been used as signatures for the classification of subgroups(Stracke et al.,2001;Jiang et al.,2004).Given that these C-terminal motifs in PH4and related R2R3MYBs are much better conserved than those in proteins of subgroup N9,we propose that these MYBs form a new subgroup that we tentatively named G20,in accor-dance with the numbering of Jiang et al.(2004).This classificationFigure2.(continued).(F)pH values(means6SD;n¼7)of petal homogenates of different genotypes in the R27genetic background.Note that the absolute pH values that are measured

background)displays fading. 1278The Plant Cellis supported by the finding that both Arabidopsis MYB5and PH4contain only one intron (Li et al.,1996)(Figure 3),whereas the majority of R2R3MYBs contain two (Jiang et al.,2004).Yeast two-hybrid assays showed that Arabidopsis MYB5(Zimmermann et al.,2004)and PH4(see below)can interact physically with functionally similar BHLH proteins,consistent with the idea that they have similar functions.However,the expression pattern of MYB5(Li et al.,1996)seems quite differentfrom that of PH4(see below).Rice MYB4induces freezing and chilling tolerance when constitutively expressed in Arabidopsis (Vannini et al.,2004),and grape MYB5induces the synthesis of anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins when overexpressed in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum )(Deluc et al.,2006).Definite proof for functional equivalence and/or orthology will require the swapping of genes between species and/or the identification of (direct)target genes (see Discussion).Expression of PH4and Mutant AllelesTo determine the expression pattern of PH4,we measured the amount of PH4mRNAs in different tissues of the wild-type line V30by RT-PCR.We used line V30because it contains functional alleles of all regulatory pigmentation genes (Koes et al.,1986),whereas R27is mutant for an4,a regulator of anthocyanin synthesis and AN1expression in anthers (Quattrocchio et al.,1993;Spelt et al.,2000).Figure 5A shows that PH4is relatively strongly expressed in the limb of the petal,whereas in the tube only weak PH4expression is detected.Possibly,the low amount of transcripts in the tube sample originated from cells near the border of the limb and the tube.The expression in the limb reaches a maximum at developmental stages 5to 6(Figure 5A),when the bud is opening,which correlates with the moment that pH differences were first seen between wild-type and ph4petal limb extracts (Figure 2E).Ovaries are the only other tissue besides petals in which we detected clear PH4expression.This organ also expresses AN1(Figure 5A)(Spelt et al.,2000),which directs the activation of the anthocyanin biosynthetic gene DFR ,but for unknown reasons this does not result in the accumulation of anthocyanin pigments (Huits et al.,1994).Anthers of V30are pigmented by anthocyanins and express AN1mRNA during early stages of development (stages 1to 3).However,no PH4transcripts were detected in this tissue.The same holds for the stigma and style.AN1is weakly expressed in sepals,leaves,and stems of V30,which correlates with the synthesis of low amounts of anthocyanin;PH4,however,is not expressed in these tissues.Roots are normally not pigmented and do not express PH4or AN1.To examine to what extent the transposon insertions affected the expression of PH4,we analyzed ph4mRNAs in petal limbs of different mutants by RNA gel blot analysis,RT-PCR (data not shown),and rapid amplification of 39cDNA ends (39RACE).Figure 5B shows that the amount of PH4transcripts in petal limbs homozygous for the ph4alleles X2052,B3021,C3540,and V2166is strongly reduced compared with that of the isogenic wild-type line R27.The same holds for PH4transcripts ex-pressed from the X2377allele compared with an isogenic rever-tant (ph4-X2377R ).Presumably,the dTPH1insertions in these alleles result in highly unstable mRNAs that are rapidly degraded.The small amount of wild-type-size PH4transcripts in these corollas presumably originates from cells in which dTPH1was excised from PH4.The insertions in ph4-V64and ph4-V2153cause the accumu-lation of short ph4transcripts.Cloning and sequencing of these products revealed that they resulted from polyadenylation within the dTPH1and TPH6sequences,respectively,andencodeFigure 3.Molecular Analysis of

ORIGINAL PAPERHeterologous expression of gentian MYB1R transcription factors suppresses anthocyanin pigmentation in tobacco flowersTakashi Nakatsuka •Eri Yamada •Misa Saito •Kohei Fujita •Masahiro NishiharaReceived:12July 2013/Revised:28August 2013/Accepted:29August 2013/Published online:14September 2013ÓSpringer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013AbstractKey message Single-repeat MYB transcription factors,GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9,were isolated from gentian.Overexpression of these genes reduced anthocyanin accumulation in tobacco flowers,demonstrating their applicability to modification of flower color .Abstract RNA interference (RNAi)has recently been used to successfully modify flower color intensity in sev-eral plant species.In most floricultural plants,this tech-nique requires prior isolation of target flavonoid biosynthetic genes from the same or closely related species.To overcome this limitation,we developed a simple and efficient method for reducing floral anthocyanin accumu-lation based on genetic engineering using novel transcrip-tion factor genes isolated from Japanese gentians.We identified two single-repeat MYB genes—GtMYB1R and GtMYB1R9—predominantly expressed in gentian petals.Transgenic tobacco plants expressing these genes were produced,and their flowers were analyzed for flavonoid components and expression of flavonoid biosynthetic genes.Transgenic tobacco plants expressing GtMYB1R1or GtMYB1R9exhibited significant reductions in floral anthocyanin accumulation,resulting in white-flowered phenotypes.Expression levels of chalcone isomerase(CHI ),dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR ),and anthocy-anidin synthase (ANS )genes were preferentially sup-pressed in these transgenic tobacco flowers.A yeast two-hybrid assay demonstrated that both GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9proteins interacted with the GtbHLH1protein,previously identified as an anthocyanin biosynthesis reg-ulator in gentian flowers.In addition,a transient expres-sion assay indicated that activation of the gentian GtDFR promoter by the GtMYB3-GtbHLH1complex was partly canceled by addition of GtMYB1R1or GtMYB1R9.These results suggest that GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9act as antagonistic transcription factors of anthocyanin biosyn-thesis in gentian flowers.These genes should consequently be useful for manipulating anthocyanin accumulation via genetic engineering in flowers of other floricultural plant species.Keywords Antagonistic transcription factor ÁAnthocyanin biosynthesis ÁFloral pigmentation ÁJapanese gentian ÁMYB1RAbbreviations 4CL 4-Coumatate:CoA-ligase

polymerase chain reactionRNAi RNA interferenceIntroductionFlower color is one of the most important traits infloricul-tural plants.Molecular breeding by genetic transformation has consequently been used to alter this trait in various plant species(Davies2009;Nishihara and Nakatsuka2011;Ta-naka et al.2010).To obtain desired colors through such manipulation offloral pigmentation,the silencing of endogenous genes is often required to reduce or redirect the metabolicflow of intermediates.Although techniques for inducing suppression of specific genes of interest inflowers are proven strategies,including transcriptional or post-transcriptional gene-silencing technologies such as anti-sense,co-suppression,and RNA interference(RNAi) methods(Tsuda et al.2004;Nakamura et al.2006),they usually require the isolation of target genes from individual floricultural plants.Genomic or expressed sequence tag analyses have still not been performed for mostfloricultural plant species,and even when sequence information is available,cloning and vector construction is a time-con-suming process.To solve this problem,some researchers have applied dominant-negative mutant-based methods.For example,a dominant-negative chalcone synthase(CHS), developed by mutating a165th-residue cysteine,essential for catalytic activity,and a138th-residue methionine pro-truding into the adjoining CHS monomer,has been reported to modulateflower color intensity in transgenic petunias (Hanumappa et al.2007).Similarly,constitutive expression of a mutated allele of c1,which encodes a transcription factor for anthocyanin biosynthesis in maize kernels,has been found to significantly reduce anthocyanin accumulation in transgenic tobacco petals(Chen et al.2004).Chimeric repressor gene-silencing technology(CRES-T)has also been developed as an efficient silencing system.In this system,a transcription factor is converted from an activator into a repressor by fusion to the ERF-associated amphiphilic repression(EAR)motif;this chimeric repressor dominantly suppresses expression of target genes of the transcription factor(Hiratsu et al.2003;Mitsuda et al.2006).CRES-T has been found to be useful for suppressing anthocyanin bio-synthetic genes regulated by certain transcription factors, with color intensity reduction and color pattern design suc-cessfully achieved in Japanese gentian(Nakatsuka et al. 2011)and torenia(Shikata et al.2011)flowers.Transcription factor genes are thus promising targets for regulatingflower color intensity via these genetic engineering techniques.The MYB family is one of the largest transcription factor families in higher plants and has acquired diverse biological functions over the course of its evolution(Dubos et al.2010; Feller et al.2011;Martin and Paz-Ares1997;Stracke et al. 2001).Some MYB transcription factors have been charac-terized as regulators of secondary metabolite synthesis(e.g., lignins,flavonoids,and volatile compounds)and cell mor-phological development(e.g.,trichome,hairy root,epider-mal cell,and pollen development).Of these factors,those controllingflavonoid biosynthesis have been well studied in Arabidopsis(Arabidopsis thaliana),maize(Zea mays), snapdragon(Antirrhinum majus),and petunia(Petunia hybrida).Flavonoids,including anthocyanins,flavonols,flavones,and proanthocyanins,are secondary metabolites playing important biological roles in plants(Winkel2006), with anthocyanins the most visible of these inflower and fruit pigmentation.Anthocyanin and proanthocyanidin biosyn-theses are regulated by a transcriptional activation complex (MYB-bHLH-WDR)consisting of R2R3-MYB,basic helix-loop-helix(bHLH),and WD-repeat(WDR)proteins,which activates transcription offlavonoid biosynthetic genes (Baudry et al.2004;Xu et al.2013).In petuniaflowers, ANTHOCYANIN2(AN2,R2R3-MYB)interacts with bHLH proteins,either ANTHOCYANIN1(AN1)or JAF13, and the resulting complexes activate transcription of the dihydroflavonol4-reductase(DFR)gene(Quattrocchio et al. 1999;Spelt et al.2000).In Arabidopsis,PRODUCTION OF ANTHOCYANIN PIGMENT1(PAP1)and PAP2,which belong to R2R3-MYB subgroup6,control anthocyanin biosynthesis in vegetative tissues(Borevitz et al.2000), while TRANSPARENT TESTA2(TT2),belonging to subgroup2,controls proanthocyanidins in the seed coat (Baudry et al.2004).The[D/E]Lx2[R/K]x3Lx6Lx3R signa-ture motif,involved in the interaction with bHLH proteins (Zimmermann et al.2004),is present in the R3repeat region of MYB proteins responsible for regulation of trichome patterning,root hair formation,and proanthocyanin,antho-cyanin,and sinapate ester biosynthesis in Arabidopsis(Du-bos et al.2010).We have previously demonstrated that biosynthesis of polyacylated anthocyanin(gentiodelphin)in Japanese gentian(Gentiana triflora)flowers is controlled by a complex between GtMYB3and GtbHLH1transcription factors(Nakatsuka et al.2008).In contrast to the above examples,someflavonoid bio-synthesis pathways are controlled by R2R3-MYB tran-scription factors independently of bHLH proteins (Grotewold et al.2000).For example,R2R3-MYBs At-MYB11,AtMYB12,and AtMYB111,classified into sub-group7,controlflavonol biosynthesis in all Arabidopsis plant tissues(Mehrtens et al.2005;Stracke et al.2007).In addition,maize P1and P2control C-glycosylflavone mysine and3-deoxyanthocyanidin phlobaphene biosyn-theses(Cocciolone et al.2005;Grotewold et al.1994).More recently,we reported that GtMYBP3and GtMYBP4 from Japanese gentian activate transcription of earlyfla-vonoid biosynthetic genes(Nakatsuka et al.2012).In addition to the transcription activators forflavonoid biosynthesis described above,transcription repressors have also been reported in several plants.Arabidopsis At-MYBL2,strawberry FaMYB1have the features of MYBR1and R2R3-MYB,respectively,and contain C-terminal motifs such as EAR or TLLLFR(L2R)(Aha-roni et al.2001;Dubos et al.2008;Matsui et al.2008). Arabidopsis MYB4,categorized into R2R3-MYB sub-group4,controls sinapate ester biosynthesis in a UV-dependent manner and suppresses cinnamate4-hydroxy-lase(C4H)gene expression(Jin et al.2000;Hemm et al. 2001).The AtMYB4protein also contains an EAR motif at the C-terminal.Petunia PhMYB27was also an R2R3-MYB subgroup4repressor and involved in the light-induced anthocyanin accumulations in vegetative tissues(Albert et al.2011).In addition to MYB transcription factors with repression motifs,Arabidopsis CAPRICE(AtCPC),a MYB1R transcription factor,is not only involved in root hair differentiation and trichome initiation(Wada et al. 1997),but is also a negative regulator of anthocyanin biosynthesis(Zhu et al.2009).The amino acid sequence of AtCPC also contains a bHLH interaction motif.The At-CPC protein is thus believed to negatively control antho-cyanin biosynthesis by competing with anthocyanin biosynthetic R2R3-MYB(PAP1/2,in the case of Arabi-dopsis)for complexation with bHLH transcription factors (GLABRA3[GL3]/ENHANCER OF GLABRA3[EGL3]) (Zhu et al.2009).More recently,an MYB1R repressor, ROSE INTENSITY1(ROI1),was identified as a major quantitative trait locus(QTL)regulating anthocyanin concentration in Mimulus(Yuan et al.2013).In this study,we identified and characterized two novel MYB1R transcription factors,GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9,from a Japanese gentian petal cDNA library. Overexpression of GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9in tobacco plants induced a decrease infloral anthocyanin accumula-tion,indicating that these two genes had anthocyanin suppression abilities in planta.Detailed molecular biolog-ical analysis suggested that they act as competitive repressors in anthocyanin biosynthesis.These genes should therefore serve as useful biotechnological tools for gener-ation offlowers having different anthocyanin levels. Materials and methodsConstruction of a cDNA library from gentian petalsTotal RNAs were isolated from petal samples of Japanese gentian(G.triflora‘Maciry’)using RNAiso Plus and Fruit-Mate for RNA Purification(Takara-bio,Otsu,Japan). mRNAs were purified using a polyATract mRNA isolation system(Promega,Madison,WI,USA)and normalized using a TRIMMER cDNA normalization kit(Evrogen, Moscow,Russia).Normalized gentian petal cDNAs were subjected to sequencing on a Roche FLX genome sequencer,with the resulting cDNA contigs assembled by Genaris(Yokohama,Japan).Isolation of single MYB transcription factorsfrom gentian petalsWe searched the assembled contigs from the normalized gentian petal cDNA library for MYB transcription factor candidates using BLAST and InterProScan with the Blas-t2GO program(Conesa et al.2005).To obtain full-length cDNAs of GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9,30-and50-rapid amplification of cDNA ends(RACE)technology was performed using a GeneRacer kit(Invitrogen,Carlsbad, CA,USA).Amplified fragments were subcloned into a pCR4TA TOPO cloning vector(Invitrogen)and sequenced using a Big Dye terminator cycle sequencing kit version 1.1on an ABI PRISM3130DNA sequencer (Applied Biosystems,Foster City,CA,USA).Nucleotide sequences were conceptually translated into amino acid sequences using GENETYX-MAC version12(GEN-ETYX,Tokyo,Japan)and compared using the BLAST network service from the National Center for Biotechnol-ogy Information(NCBI).A phylogenetic tree was con-structed by the neighbor-joining method with1,000 bootstrap replicates using MEGA version5(Tamura et al. 2011).Expression analysis of GtMYBs and GtbHLH1 transcription factorsGene expression analysis was carried out using quantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR).Total RNA was isolated from petals at severalfloral developmental stages(as defined by Nakatsuka et al.2005),leaves,and stems of Japanese gentian cultivar Maciry.qRT-PCR was performed on a StepOne Plus system(Applied Biosystems)using SYBR GreenER qPCR Super Mix(Invitrogen).After removal of genomic DNAs,cDNAs were synthesized from total RNAs using a PrimeScript RT reagent kit with gDNA eraser (Takara).Reaction mixtures(10l l)included the following components:19Master Mix,0.2l M of each primer,and 1l l cDNA.Cycling conditions were95°C for20s, followed by40cycles of95°C for1s and60°C for20s. The following primers are used:GtMYB1R1,50-GC GAAGGAAATAATATCCACCA-30and50-CCAAATA GAACGATCAATGCAA-30;GtMYB1R9,50-AAGATT ACCTGGACGGAGTGAA-30and50-TTGATGCTTTCTGAATTTCCAA-30;GtMYB3,50-TGCACAAAATGACGA TAATACCCT-30and50-CCCCCGCTACTTTGAAAGT G-30;GtbHLH1,50-TCTCTTACTTTTTCCCTCCGGC-30 and50-CCGGACTACCAGGAAGGGCATACGC-30.Indi-vidual gene expression levels were calibrated using ubiq-uitin(GtUBQ)gene expression as a reference.Protein-to-protein interaction assayA yeast two-hybrid assay was performed using a Match-maker Yeast Two-Hybrid System3(Clontech,Mountain View,CA,USA)as described previously(Nakatsuka et al. 2008).Briefly,open reading frame(ORF)sequences of GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9were cloned into pGAD-T7 vectors.We also used pGAD-GtMYB3and pGBK-GtbHLH1constructs as described in Nakatsuka et al. (2008).A quantitative assay of b-galactosidase(b-Gal) activity was performed using o-nitrophenyl b-D-galacto-pyranoside(ONPG)as a substrate.Production of transgenic tobacco plantspSKan-35SpGtMYB1R1and pSKan-35SpGtMYB1R9 were constructed from binary vectors harboring a pSMAB704backbone.Their constructs were transformed into Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain EHA101by elec-troporation.Tobacco plants(Nicotiana tabacum‘SR-1’), aseptically grown from seeds for about a month,were transformed via an A.tumefaciens-mediated leaf disc pro-cedure(Horsch et al.1985)and selected using200mg l-1 of kanamycin.After rooting and acclimatization,regener-ated plants were grown in a greenhouse to set seeds by self-pollination.T1transgenic plant lines were used for further analyses.Concentrations of anthocyanin andflavonol pig-ments in petals of transgenic tobacco plants were measured as described by Nakatsuka et al.(2007).Expression analysis of endogenousflavonoid biosynthetic genes in transgenic tobacco plantsTotal RNAs of transgenic tobacco were isolated from their petals atfloral developmental stage3using a FastRNA Green kit(Q-Bio,Irvine,CA,USA).qRT-PCR analysis was performed as described above.Primer sets for tobacco flavonoid biosynthetic genes are given in Nakatsuka et al. (2012).Transient expression assay using tobacco BY2cellsTo evaluate whether GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9are responsible for regulation offlavonoid biosynthesis,tran-sient expression assays were performed using protoplasts from tobacco BY2suspension cells as described in Na-katsuka et al.(2012).We constructed the reporter vector GtDFRpro-LUC,which contained thefirefly luciferase (LUC)gene under the control of the Japanese gentian DFR promoter.ORFs of GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9were inserted into a p35Spro expression vector under the control of the CaMV35S promoter and NOS terminator,resulting in p35Spro-GtMYB1R1and p35Spro-GtMYB1R9, respectively.pBI221(Clontech)was used as a negative control vector.p35Spro-RLUC,the Renilla luciferase (RLUC)gene under the control of the CaMV35S promoter, was used as a transformation control.Protoplast isolation and PEG-transfection experiments were performed as described by Hartmann et al.(1998).Firefly and Renilla luciferase activities were measured using a Dual-Glo luciferase assay system(Promega)and a Luminescencer JNR II(ATTO,Tokyo,Japan).To demonstrate reproduc-ibility,at leastfive independent transfections were per-formed for each plasmid combination.ResultsIsolation of MYB1R transcription factorsA normalized cDNA library was synthesized from Japa-nese gentian petals and subjected to sequencing analysis using GS FLX454pyrosequencing.After clustering and assembly,a total of701,124reads were incorporated into 16,534contigs with an average length of952.7bp.Fig.1Phylogenetic tree and alignment of MYB proteins.a Results of phylogenetic analysis of MYB transcription factors based on R3 repeat sequences.The phylogenetic tree was created by neighbor-joining using MEGA5software(Tamura et al.2011).GenBank accession numbers for analyzed transcription factors are as follows: Japanese gentian(Gentiana triflora)GtMYB1R1(AB779612,this study),GtMYB1R9(AB779613,this study),GtMYB3(AB289445), GtMYBP3(AB733016),and GtMYBP4(AB289446);Arabidopsis CPC(NM_130205),ETC2(NM_179814),GL1(NM_113708), MYB2(NM_130287),MYB4(NM_120023),MYB12(DQ224277), MYB24(NM_123399),MYB32(NM_119665),MYBL2 (NM_105772),PAP1(NM_104541),TRY(NM_124699),TT2 (NM_122946),and WER(NM_121479);maize C1(MZEMYBAA) and P1(M73028);snapdragon MIXTA(X79108);petunia AN2 (AF146702),PH4(AY973324),mybPh1(Z13996)and mybPh2 (Z13997);potato mybSt1(S74753);strawberry FaMYB1 (AF401220),FaMYB5(JQ989280),FaMYB9(JQ989281),FaM-YB10(EU155162),and FaMYB11(JQ989282),and Mimulus lewisii MlROI1(JX992854).Closed circles indicate MYB1R transcription factor genes.Numbers at branches correspond to bootstrap values from1,000replicates,and the bar below the phylogenetic tree indicates genetic distance.b Amino acid sequence alignments of GtMYB1R1,GtMYB1R9,Arabidopsis AtMYBL2,AtCPC,and Mimulus MlROI1.The thick underline indicates the R3repeat region. The bHLH1interaction motif([D/E]Lx2[R/K]x3Lx6Lx3R),EAR-like repressor motif,and L2R motif are boxedcIn addition to previously characterized MYB genes (Nakatsuka et al.2008,2012),14candidate MYB tran-scription factor genes,including partial fragments,were newly identified from the Japanese gentian cDNA library using BLAST analysis.Of these,two MYB1R genes,termed GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9,showed high simi-larities to Arabidopsis anthocyanin biosynthetic negative regulator MYBL2(Dubos et al.2008;Matsui et al.2008;Fig.1).The GtMYB1R1cDNA sequence (GenBank accession number AB779612)was 908bp long and encoded a protein of 188amino acid residues,whereas the GtMYB1R9cDNA (accession no.AB779613)was 735bp and encoded 197amino acid residues.The deduced amino acid sequence of GtMYB1R1showed 90.6%identity with that of GtMYB1R9in the R3repeat motif and 67.7%identity overall (Fig.1b).The bHLH interaction motif [D/E]Lx 2[R/K]x 3Lx 6Lx 3R (Zimmermann et al.2004)was well conserved within the R3repeat domain of both GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9;however,neither EAR nor L2R motifs (Fig.1b),the repression motifs characterized in AtMYBL2(Matsui et al.2008)and FaMYB1(Aharoni et al.2001)were found in GtMYB1R1or GtMYB1R9.Gene expression profiles of GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9in gentian plantsTo investigate temporal and spatial expression of GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9genes,we performed qRT-PCR analysis (Fig.2).Transcripts of both GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9were abundant in petal tissues,with maximum expression detected at stages 2and 3before anthesis.Slight GtMYB1R1expression was also detected in stems,pistils,and especially leaves,whereas the GtMYB1R9transcript was barely detected in any tissues except for petals.GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9gene expression profiles were similar to those of the GtMYB3gene,a transcription activator for anthocyanin biosynthesis (Fig.2c).On the other hand,expression of GtbHLH1,a counterpart interacting with GtMYB3,was detected throughout the entire plant (Fig.2d).Effects of GtMYB1R overexpression in tobacco plants To investigate whether GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9are involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis in petals,we produced and analyzed transgenic tobacco plants overexpressing GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9.Two independent T 1transgenicFig.2Temporal and spatial expression analysis ofGtMYB1R1,GtMYB1R9,and anthocyanin biosynthetic transcription factor genes in gentian.Expressions ofa GtMYB1R1,b GtMYB1R9,c GtMYB3,and d GtbHLH1were investigated byquantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR)analysis of samples of petals at four different floral development stages,stamens,pistils,leaves,and stems of G.triflora ‘Maciry’.Each value was normalized relative to GtUBQ expression and is indicated as theaverage ±standard deviation (SD)of five biological replicateslines from each construct were selected based on transgene expression levels (Fig.3a,b).After growing in a closed greenhouse,almost all of the flowers of GtMYB1R1-or GtMYB1R9-expressing transgenic tobacco plants were white,compared with the pink flowers of wild-type tobacco (Fig.3c).Anthocyanin levels in transgenic tobacco petals were 4.4–11.0%of wild-type petals (Fig.3d).Total flavo-nol accumulations in transgenic tobacco petals were also significantly decreased,showing 40–70%reductions com-pared with the wild type (Fig.3e).In transgenic tobacco flowers,levels of quercetin derivatives were more reduced than those of kaempferol.Based on HPLC analyses,how-ever,no significantly different peak related to anthocyanin and flavonol compounds was observed between wild-type and transgenic flowers (data not shown).We then carried out an expression analysis of endoge-nous genes involved in the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway in transgenic tobacco petals.These genes were phenylala-nine ammonia lyase (NtPAL ),NtC4H ,and 4-coumarate:CoA-ligase (Nt4CL )from phenylpropanoidbiosynthesis,chalcone synthase (NtCHS ),chalcone isom-erase (NtCHI ),flavanone 3-hydroxylase (F3H ),flavonol 30-hydroxylase (NtF30H ),and flavonol synthase (NtFLS )from flavonol biosynthesis,and NtDFR and anthocyanidin syn-thase (NtANS )from anthocyanin biosynthesis.Of these ten structural genes,the expressions of three,NtCHI ,NtDFR ,and NtANS ,were consistently downregulated in transgenic tobacco petals compared with wild type (Fig.4).In par-ticular,NtDFR and NtANS transcripts in both GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9transgenic tobacco showed remarkable reductions,3.2–37.5and 1.6–22.6%,respectively,com-pared with wild type.The expression levels of these two endogenous genes correlated with accumulated anthocya-nin amounts in petals (Fig.3d).NtCHI transcripts were also significantly suppressed in transgenic plants,with a 46.4–54.2%reduction compared with wild-type petals (Fig.4).Expression levels of other phenylpropanoid bio-synthetic genes did not differ between wild-typeandFig.3Typical phenotypes and flavonoid amounts ofGtMYB1R1-and GtMYB1R9-expressed tobacco flowers.a Expression levels of the GtMYB1R1transgene in wild type (WT)and two lines of GtMYB1R1-overexpressed transgenic plants(GtMYB1R1ox).b Expression levels of the GtMYB1R9transgene in WT and two lines of GtMYB1R9-overexpressed transgenic plants(GtMYB1R9ox).c Typical floral phenotypes of WT,GtMYB1R1ox (Nos.1and 2),and GtMYB1R9ox (Nos.1and 2)plants.d Relativeanthocyanin concentrations of WT and transgenic petals.Anthocyanins were extracted with methanol containing 1%(v/v)hydrochloric acid,and the absorbance of the solution was then measured at 530nm.Replicates consisted of at least five flowers per line.e Flavonol concentrations of WT and transgenic petals.Flavonols were extracted with 80%methanol and converted to aglycon by hydrolysistreatment.They were analyzed by HPLC as described in ‘‘Materials and methods ’’.Replicates consisted of at least five flowers per linetransgenic tobacco flowers.NtAN2is a transcription factor that regulates late flavonoid biosynthesis in tobacco plants (Pattanaik et al.2010).Although slight variations in NtAN2expression were observed between wild-type and transgenic petals (Fig.4),reduced anthocyanin accumula-tions observed in transgenic tobacco petals appear to be due to suppression of ANS and DFR transcription levels rather than to that of NtAN2.Fig.4Expression analysis of endogenous flavonoid biosynthetic genes in transgenic tobacco flowers.The effects of GtMYB1R1-and GtMYB1R9-overexpression on endogenous phenylpropanoid,flavo-nol,and anthocyanin biosynthetic genes were investigated by qRT-PCR analysis of petals of wild-type (WT)and transgenic plants immediately before anthesis,as defined by Nishihara et al.(2005).The following plants,shown in Fig.3,were analyzed:WT,GtMYB1R1ox no.1(1–1)and no.2(1–2),and GtMYB1R9ox no.1(9–1)and no.2(9–2).Asterisks indicate statistically significant differences between means of WT and transgenic lines,as judged by Student’s t test (*P \0.05;**P \0.01)Protein-to-protein interaction between GtMYB1Rs and GtbHLH1Because both GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9contained a bHLH interaction motif in the R3repeat region (Fig.1b),we performed a yeast two-hybrid analysis to confirm their interaction with the GtbHLH1protein.Yeasts harboring either pGAD-GtMYB1R1/pGBD-GtbHLH1or pGAD-GtMYB1R9/pGBD-GtbHLH1were able to survive on quadruple-dropout medium (data not shown),showing that GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9proteins formed heterodimers with the GtbHLH1protein.Interaction intensity between the three MYBs (GtMYB1R1,GtMYB1R9,and GtMYB3)and GtbHLH1was determined based on b -Gal activity (Fig.5).The strongest interaction with GtbHLH1was shown by the GtMYB3protein,followed by GtMYB1R1and then GtMYB1R9;in particular,GtMYB3exhibited 2.3-and 3.8-fold stronger b -Gal activity than GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9,respectively.Promoter activation assay by transient expression of GtMYB1Rs and GtbHLH1To investigate whether GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9had transcription suppression ability against anthocyanin bio-synthetic genes,we employed a transient expression assay using tobacco BY2cells and a GtDFR pro-LUC reporter vector (Fig.6).As observed previously (Nakatsuka et al.2008),the combination of GtMYB3and GtbHLH1enhanced GtDFR promoter activity 9.5-fold.In contrast,neither GtMYB1R1nor GtMYB1R9alone affected GtDFR promoter activity.Activation of the GtDFR promoter by coexpression of GtMYB3and GtbHLH1(100%)was partly canceled,however,by the addition of GtMYB1R1(47.3%)or GtMYB1R9(67.3%)(Fig.6).These levels of competitive suppression by GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9correlated with GtbHLH1protein interaction intensities observed using the yeast two-hybrid assay (Fig.5).DiscussionTo establish an alternative method for suppression of floral pigmentation by genetic transformation,we identified two novel negative regulator genes involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis from Japanese gentian petals and analyzed the effects of heterologous expression in transgenic tobacco plants.GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9possess the features of MYB1R transcription factors and exhibit high similarity (Fig.1)with the N-terminal R3repeat motif of Arabidopsis MYBL2,a known negative regulator of flavonoid biosyn-thesis (Dubos et al.2008;Matsui et al.2008).Arabidopsis AtMYBL2and strawberry FaMYB1,both negative regu-lators of anthocyanin biosynthesis,contain EAR and L2R repressor motifs in their C-terminal regions (Aharoni et al.2001;Matsui et al.2008).In contrast,the C-terminal regions of GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9do not includeanyFig.5Protein-to-protein interaction analysis using a yeast two-hybrid assay.The GtbHLH1protein was fused to the GAL4DNA-binding domain (BD)and assayed for its ability to bind with GtMYB1R1,GtMYB1R9,and GtMYB3fused to the GAL4activa-tion domain (AD).Interaction intensity between each protein is shown by yeast b -galactosidase activity.pGBK-T7and pGAD-T7are the negative controls for bait and prey,respectivelyFig.6Effect of GtMYB1R1and GtMYB1R9on promoter activities of the gentian DFR gene.Transient expression assays were performed by transfecting reporter and effector plasmid DNA into protoplasts from tobacco BY2cells.GtDFRpro-LUC was used as the reporter,and p35Spro-GtMYB1R1,p35Spro-GtMYB1R9,p35Spro-GtMYB3/p35Spro-GtbHLH1,or pBI221(negative control)was used as the effector.Our previous study discovered that the combination of p35Spro-GtMYB3and p35Spro-GtbHLH1can activate transcripts of anthocyanin biosynthetic genes (Nakatsuka et al.2008).p35Spro-RLUC was also used as a transformation control.Promoter activation activities are indicated as relative values compared with that of the negative control。
