The grapevine transcription factor VvMYBPA1 regulates proanthocyanidin synthesis during fruit development

Abstract

Proanthocyanidins (PAs; or condensed tannins) can protect plants against herbivores, contribute to the taste of many fruits, and act as dietary antioxidants beneficial for human health. We have previously shown that in grapevine (Vitis vinifera) PA synthesis involves both leucoanthocyanidin reductase (LAR) and anthocyanidin reductase (ANR). Here we report the characterization of a grapevine MYB transcription factor VvMYBPA1, which controls expression of PA pathway genes including both LAR and ANR. Expression of VvMYBPA1 in grape berries correlated with PA accumulation during early berry development and in seeds. In a transient assay, VvMYBPA1 activated the promoters of LAR and ANR, as well as the promoters of several of the general flavonoid pathway genes. VvMYBPA1 did not activate the promoter of VvUFGT, which encodes the anthocyanin-specific enzyme UDP-glucose:flavonoid-3-O-glucosyltransferase, suggesting VvMYBPA1 is specific to regulation of PA biosynthesis in grapes. The Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) MYB transcription factor TRANSPARENT TESTA2 (TT2) regulates PA synthesis in the seed coat of Arabidopsis. By complementing the PA-deficient seed phenotype of the Arabidopsis tt2 mutant with VvMYBPA1, we confirmed the function of VvMYBPA1 as a transcriptional regulator of PA synthesis. In contrast to ectopic expression of TT2 in Arabidopsis, constitutive expression of VvMYBPA1 resulted in accumulation of PAs in cotyledons, vegetative meristems, leaf hairs, and roots in some of the transgenic seedlings. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a MYB factor that controls genes of the PA pathway in fruit, including both LAR and ANR, and this single MYB factor can induce ectopic PA accumulation in Arabidopsis.

Scheme of the flavonoid pathway leading to synthesis of anthocyanins, flavonols, and PAs. The enzymes involved in the pathway are shown as follows: CHS, chalcone synthase; CHI, chalcone isomerase; F3′H, flavonoid-3′-hydroxylase; F3′5′H, flavonoid-3′,5′-hydroxylase; F3H, flavanone-3β-hydroxylase; DFR, dihydroflavonol-4-reductase; LDOX, leucoanthocyanidin dioxygenase; FLS, flavonol synthase; LAR, leucoanthocyanidin reductase; ANR, anthocyanidin reductase; and UFGT, UDP-Glc:flavonoid-3-O-glucosyltransferase. The F3′H and F3′5′H enzymes, which hydroxylate flavanones and dihydroflavonols, were omitted to clarify the scheme of the flavonoid pathway (see Bogs et al., 2006). Note that Arabidopsis lacks LAR.

A, Alignment of the deduced amino acid sequences of the MYB-type transcriptional regulators ZmC1 (maize), AtTT2, AtPAP1, AtMYB12 (Arabidopsis), and the grapevine regulators VvMYBPA1, VvMYBA2, and VvMYB5a. The R2 and R3 repeats of the MYB domain are indicated below the alignment. Identical amino acids are indicated in black, similar amino acids in gray. Sequences were aligned with the ClustalW program and displayed using the GeneDoc program (Version 2.6.002). B, Phylogenetic tree showing selected plant MYB transcription factors from GenBank or EMBL database. Functions of some of the proteins are given in bold. The ClustalW multiple sequence alignment was formed using the domain of the MYB proteins and the default parameters of the MEGA package (Kumar et al., 2004). The tree was constructed from the ClustalW alignment using the neighbor-joining method by the MEGA program. The scale bar represents 0.1 substitutions per site and the numbers next to the nodes are bootstrap values from 1,000 replicates. The GenBank accession numbers of the MYB proteins are as follows: VvMYBPA1 (AM259485), AtGL1 (P27900), ZmP (P27898), ZmC1 (AAA33482), VvMYBA1 (BAD18977), VvMYBA2 (BAD18978), AtPAP1 (AAG42001), PhAN2 (AAF66727), LeANT1 (AAQ55181), OsMYB4 (T02988), AtMYB5 (U26935), PhMYB1 (Z13996), AmMixta (CAA55725), AtMYB12 (CAB09172), AtMYB111 (AAK97396), PmMBF1 (AAA82943), AtTT2 (Q9FJA2), PH4 (AAY51377), AtPAP1 (AAG42001), AtPAP2 (AAG42002), AtWER (CAC01874), VvMYB5a (AAS68190), and VvMYB5b (Q58QD0).

VvMYBPA1 activates promoters of flavonoid pathway genes involved in PA synthesis. The MYB transcription factors and promoters used for transfection of grape cell cultures are indicated. Control indicates the activity of the respective promoter transfected without a MYB factor. Each transfection (except E, MybPA1 without bHLH) contained the35S∷EGL3 construct encoding the bHLH protein EGL3 (GenBank accession no. NM20235) from Arabidopsis and as internal control the Renilla luciferase plasmid pRluc (Horstmann et al., 2004). The normalized luciferase activity was calculated as the ratio between the firefly and the Renilla luciferase activity. Each column represents the mean value of three independent experiments with error bars indicating ±ses.
