In silico study on Arabidopsis BAG gene expression in response to environmental stresses
BAG (Bcl-2 athanogene) family proteins are conserved in a wide range of eukaryotes, and they have been proposed to play a crucial role in plant programmed cell death (PCD). During the past decade, with the help of advanced bioinformatics tools, seven homologs of BAG genes have been identified in the...

description | BAG (Bcl-2 athanogene) family proteins are conserved in a wide range of eukaryotes, and they have been proposed to play a crucial role in plant programmed cell death (PCD). During the past decade, with the help of advanced bioinformatics tools, seven homologs of BAG genes have been identified in the Arabidopsis genome; these genes are involved in pathogen attack and abiotic stress conditions. In this study, gene expression of Arabidopsis BAG family members under environmental stresses was analyzed using the Botany Array Resource (BAR) expression browser tool and the in silico data were partially confirmed by qRT-PCR analysis for the selected stress- and hormone-treated conditions related to environmental stresses. Particularly, the induction of AtBAG6 gene in response to heat shock was confirmed by using GUS reporter lines. The loss of the AtBAG6 gene resulted into impairment in basal thermotolerance of plant and showed enhanced cell death in response to heat stress. To elucidate the regulatory mechanisms of BAG genes, we analyzed ∼1-kbp promoter regions for the presence of stress-responsive elements. Our transcription profiling finally revealed that the Arabidopsis BAG genes differentially respond to environmental stresses under the control of specifically organized upstream regulatory elements. ELECTRONIC SUPPLEMENTARY MATERIAL: The online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s00709-016-0961-3) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users. |
