Studies have shown that fungi cause plant diseases through cross-species RNA interference mechanism (RNAi) and secreted protein infection mechanism. The small RNAs (sRNAs) of use the RNAi mechanism of rice to realize the infection process, and different effector proteins can increase the autotoxicity by inhibiting pathogen-associated molecular patterns triggered immunity (PTI) to achieve the purpose of infection. However, the coordination of sRNAs and proteins in the process of infecting rice is still poorly understood. Therefore, the combination of transcriptomics and proteomics to study the mechanism of infecting rice has important theoretical significance and practical value for controlling rice diseases and improving rice yields. In this paper, we used the high-throughput data of various omics before and after the infecting rice to screen differentially expressed genes and sRNAs and predict protein interaction pairs based on the interolog and the domain-domain methods. We were then used to construct a prediction model of the -rice interaction proteins according to the obtained proteins in the proteomic network. Finally, for the differentially expressed genes, differentially expressed sRNAs, the corresponding mRNAs of rice and , and the interacting protein molecules, the -rice sRNA regulatory network was built and analyzed, the core nodes were selected. The functional enrichment analysis was conducted to explore the potential effect pathways and the critical infection factors of sRNAs and proteins were mined and analyzed. The results showed that 22 sRNAs of , 77 secretory proteins of were used as effect factors to participate in the infection process of . And many significantly enriched GO modules were discovered, which were related to the infection mechanism of .
研究表明,真菌通过跨物种RNA干扰机制(RNAi)和分泌蛋白感染机制引发植物病害。利用水稻的RNAi机制实现感染过程,不同的效应蛋白可通过抑制病原体相关分子模式触发的免疫反应(PTI)来增强自身毒性,从而达到感染的目的。然而,在感染水稻的过程中,小RNA(sRNA)与蛋白之间的协同作用仍知之甚少。因此,结合转录组学和蛋白质组学来研究感染水稻的机制,对于控制水稻病害和提高水稻产量具有重要的理论意义和实用价值。本文利用感染水稻前后的各种组学高通量数据,筛选差异表达基因和sRNA,并基于同源互作和结构域-结构域方法预测蛋白质相互作用对。然后根据蛋白质组网络中获得的蛋白质构建-水稻相互作用蛋白的预测模型。最后,针对差异表达基因、差异表达sRNA、水稻和的相应mRNA以及相互作用的蛋白质分子,构建并分析了-水稻sRNA调控网络,筛选出核心节点。进行功能富集分析,探索潜在的效应途径,挖掘并分析sRNA和蛋白质的关键感染因子。结果表明,的22个sRNA、的77个分泌蛋白作为效应因子参与了的感染过程。并且发现了许多显著富集的GO模块,这些模块与的感染机制有关。
