Abstract：
BACKGROUND:Dehydrins play positive roles in regulating plant abiotic stress responses. The objective of this study was to characterize two dehydrin genes, CdDHN4-L and CdDHN4-S, generated by alternative splicing of CdDHN4 in bermudagrass. RESULTS:Overexpression of CdDHN4-L with φ-segment and CdDHN4-S lacking of φ-segment in Arabidopsis significantly increased tolerance against abiotic stresses. The growth phenotype of Arabidopsis exposed to NaCl at 100 mM was better in plants overexpressing CdDHN4-L than those overexpressing CdDHN4-S, as well as better in E.coli cells overexpressing CdDHN4-L than those overexpressing CdDHN4-S in 300 and 400 mM NaCl, and under extreme temperature conditions at - 20 °C and 50 °C. The CdDHN4-L had higher disordered characterization on structures than CdDHN4-S at temperatures from 10 to 90 °C. The recovery activities of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) and alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) in presence of CdDHN4-L and CdDHN4-S were higher than that of LDH and ADH alone under freeze-thaw damage and heat. Protein-binding and bimolecular fluorescence complementation showed that both proteins could bind to proteins with positive isoelectric point via electrostatic forces. CONCLUSIONS:These results indicate that CdDHN4-L has higher protective ability against abiotic stresses due to its higher flexible unfolded structure and thermostability in comparison with CdDHN4-S. These provided direct evidence of the function of the φ-segment in dehydrins for protecting plants against abiotic stress and to show the electrostatic interaction between dehydrins and client proteins.
