摘要

Abstract

As a key component of the plant antioxidant enzymatic system

superoxide dismutase (SOD) can efficiently protect cells from oxidative stress and maintain redox homeostasis. Currently

there are few studies related to SOD genes in various taxa of algae

and the specific functions and evolutionary patterns of these family members remain unclear. In this study

comprehensively evolutionary analysis of SOD gene family in the bladed Bangiales was carried out. A total of 9

and 12 SOD genes were identified from three species of

Pophyra

umbilicalis

Pyropia

haitanensis

and

Pyropia

yezoensis

respectively. Based on phylogenetic analysis

SOD gene members within the same subfamily exhibited similar motif patterns as well as conserved domains

which could be attribute to Cu/Zn-SOD and Fe/Mn-SOD. The promoter regions of SOD genes were rich in hormone-responsive

stress-responsive

and growth cis-acting elements

with variations and similarities observed among different species of other red algae and subfamilies. According to subcellular location prediction

it is suggested that Cu/Zn-SOD was predominantly located in chloroplasts

while Fe/Mn-SOD was primarily located in mitochondria. Also

the two subfamilies differed significantly in the two-/three-dimensional protein structures. In terms of gene evolution

the strongest collinearity relationship was shown be

tween

Pyropia

haitanensis

and

Pyropia

yezoensis

with all the 1꞉1 orthologous gene pair being subjected to a purifying selection (

: non-synonymy rate;

: synonymy rate). Moreover

12 SOD genes underwent positive selection during the evolutionary process. Furthermore

gene expression analysis based on transcriptomic data from

Pyropia

haitanensis

showed that the expression patterns of SOD genes varied under different stress conditions. Together

this study revealed the evolutionary pattern of SOD genes in three bladed Bangiales species

which will lay the foundation for subsequent studies on the function of SOD genes.
