1-DE/MS Analysis of Proteins Related to the Spathe Color Variation in an Anthurium andraeanum Mutant

摘要

[Objectives] This study was conducted to explore the color variation mechanism of Anthurium andraeanum spathe at the protein level. [Methods]The differential proteins of wild type and its white mutant were separated and identified by using one-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry( 1-DE/MS). [Results] Compared with leaves and spadices,the 1-DE patterns of two kinds of spathe proteins were significantly different,and two different bands were detected in wild type spathes and mutant spathes respectively. The four significantly differential bands were selected and analyzed by mass spectrometry,and 138,111,70 and 427 proteins were identified respectively. The results of GO functional annotation analysis showed that the molecular functions of the proteins were mainly catalytic activity and binding,and the main biological processes involved were cellular process and metabolic process. Many proteins involved in the synthesis of anthocyanins and flavonoids,sugar metabolism and some resistance proteins were screened,indicating that the spathe color difference of A. andraeanum‘Pink champion''is not only related to anthocyanin anabolism,but also regulated by various metabolic pathways. [Conclusions]The study provides a new experimental basis for elucidating the molecular mechanism of the regulation of A. andraeanum flower color.
