摘要： Most of R (resistance) genes encode the protein containing NBS-LRR (nucleotide binding site and leucine-rich repeat) domains. Here, N. benthamiana plants were used for transient expression assays at 3-4 weeks of age. We identified a TNL (TIR-NBS-LRR) encoding gene GmRUN1 that was resistant to both soybean mosaic virus (SMV) and tobacco mosaic virus (TMV). Truncation analysis indicated the importance of all three canonical domains for GmRUN1-mediated antiviral activity. Promoter-GUS analysis showed that GmRUN1 expression is inducible by both salicylic acid (SA) and a transcription factor GmDREB3 via the cis-elements as-1 and ERE (ethylene response element), which are present in its promoter region. Interestingly, GmRUN1 gDNA (genomic DNA) shows higher viral resistance than its cDNA (complementary DNA), indicating the existence of intron-mediated enhancement (IME) for GmRUN1 regulation. We provided evidence that intron2 of GmRUN1 increased the mRNA level of native gene GmRUN1, a soybean antiviral gene SRC7 and also a reporter gene Luciferase, indicating the general transcriptional enhancement of intron2 in different genes. In summary, we identified an antiviral TNL type soybean gene GmRUN1, expression of which was regulated at different layers. The investigation of GmRUN1 gene regulatory network would help to explore the mechanism underlying soybean-SMV interactions.
