Abstract

Cysteine proteinases have been known to participate in developmental processes and in response to stress in plants. Our present research reported that a novel CP gene, CaCP, was involved in leaf senescence in pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). The full-length CaCP cDNA is comprised of 1316 bp, contains 1044 nucleotides in open reading frame (ORF), and encodes a 347 amino acid protein. The deduced protein belongs to the papain-like cysteine proteases (CPs) superfamily, containing a highly conserved ERFNIN motif, a GCNGG motif and a conserved catalytic triad. This protein localized to the vacuole of plant cells. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis revealed that the expression level of CaCP gene was dramatically higher in leaves and flowers than that in roots, stems and fruits. Moreover, CaCP transcripts were induced upon during leaf senescence. CaCP expression was upregulated by plant hormones, especially salicylic acid. CaCP was also significantly induced by abiotic and biotic stress treatments, including high salinity, mannitol and Phytophthora capsici. Loss of function of CaCP using the virus-induced gene-silencing technique in pepper plants led to enhanced tolerance to salt- and osmotic-induced stress. Taken together, these results suggest that CaCP is a senescence-associated gene, which is involved in developmental senescence and regulates salt- and osmotic-induced leaf senescence in pepper.

<abstract>
<p>Cysteine proteinases have been known to participate in developmental processes and in response to stress in plants. Our present research reported that a novel CP gene,
<italic>CaCP</italic>
, was involved in leaf senescence in pepper (
<italic>Capsicum annuum</italic>
L.). The full-length
<italic>CaCP</italic>
cDNA is comprised of 1316 bp, contains 1044 nucleotides in open reading frame (ORF), and encodes a 347 amino acid protein. The deduced protein belongs to the papain-like cysteine proteases (CPs) superfamily, containing a highly conserved ERFNIN motif, a GCNGG motif and a conserved catalytic triad. This protein localized to the vacuole of plant cells. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis revealed that the expression level of
<italic>CaCP</italic>
gene was dramatically higher in leaves and flowers than that in roots, stems and fruits. Moreover,
<italic>CaCP</italic>
transcripts were induced upon during leaf senescence.
<italic>CaCP</italic>
expression was upregulated by plant hormones, especially salicylic acid.
<italic>CaCP</italic>
was also significantly induced by abiotic and biotic stress treatments, including high salinity, mannitol and
<italic>Phytophthora capsici.</italic>
Loss of function of
<italic>CaCP</italic>
using the virus-induced gene-silencing technique in pepper plants led to enhanced tolerance to salt- and osmotic-induced stress. Taken together, these results suggest that
<italic>CaCP</italic>
is a senescence-associated gene, which is involved in developmental senescence and regulates salt- and osmotic-induced leaf senescence in pepper.</p>

Dark-blue shading and gray shading reflect 100% and 75% amino acid residues conservation, respectively. The arrow indicates the cleavage site of the signal peptide; the double line indicates the ERFNIN motif; the single line indicates the GCNGG motif, and the catalytic triad Cys, His, and Asn and also the Glu active site residue are indicated by the asterisks. Besides CaCP, other amino acid sequences included in this alignment were NtCP1 (ADV41672.1), NtSAG12 (AAW78661.2), TcCP (EOY28020.1), RcCP (XP_002523447.1), MtCP (XP_003612210.1), AgCP (AAA50755.1) and AtSAG12 (AAC49135.1).
