Comparative molecular and biochemical characterization of segmentally duplicated 9-lipoxygenase genes ZmLOX4 and ZmLOX5 of maizePlanta, 231
Gene duplication and alternative splicing (AS) are two evolutionary mechanisms that can increase functional diversification of genes. Here, we found that a previously uncharacterized ZmMPK4 (ZmMPK3-1b in this research) is a splicing variant. ZmMPK3-1 can undergo AS by retaining the third intron (90 nucleotides) to generate an atypical mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) gene: ZmMPK3-1b. Furthermore, we found that ZmMPK3-1 and ZmMPK3-2 were segmentally duplicated genes in the maize genome, located on chromosomes 9 and 1, respectively. ZmMPK3-1 and ZmMPK3-2 were expressed differentially in maize root, stem, and leaf. ZmMPK3-1 was expressed predominantly in roots under normal growth conditions, whereas ZmMPK3-2 accumulated predominantly in stem and leaf. In leaf, both ZmMPK3-1 and ZmMPK3-2 were regulated by ABA (100 μM) or NaCl (200 mM). AS of ZmMPK3-1 occurred mainly in leaves in our tested organs. In leaves, splicing variant ZmMPK3-1a, but not ZmMPK3-1b, is regulated by ABA (100 μM) or NaCl (200 mM).
