摘要： Tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT, EC 2.6.1.5) is the first key enzyme that catalyzes the reversible interconversion of tyrosine and 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate in the tyrosine-derived pathway for syntheses of important secondary metabolites and compounds. Although plant TAT genes have been proposed to be important in response to abiotic stress, there is little information about TAT genes in woody perennial tree species, especially in economic fruit trees. Based on TAT domain searching, sequence homology screening and phylogenetic analysis, we identified four TATs in apple genome. Then, we carried out a detailed phylogenetic analysis of TAT genes from multi-species, focusing on apple (Mains domestica). The result showed that the TAT family comprises three major classes corresponding to genes from angiosperms, mammals, and bacteria. Angiosperm TAT genes could be further divided into six subclasses. Analysis of intron-exon structure revealed that the typical TAT gene contains six introns and seven exons, with exons of similar size at each exon location. Promoter analysis showed that the 5'-flanking region of apple MdTATs contain multiple cis-acting elements including those implicated in light, biotic stress, abiotic stress, and hormone response. MdTATs were expressed to various levels in all apple structures and organs evaluated, and showed distinct expression patterns under water deficit stress. Ectopic expression of MdTAT2 in Arabidopsis or over-expression of MdTAT2 in apple callus tissue conferred enhanced tolerance to drought and osmotic stress. Collectively, these results suggest a role for TAT genes in drought and osmotic stresses and provide valuable information for further research of TAT genes and their function in plants.
