Genome-Wide Identification and Evolution-Profiling Analysis of Heat Shock Protein Gene Family in Poaceae Barnhart
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) function as molecular chaperones to maintain protein homeostasis and repair denatured proteins, counteracting abiotic stresses. Despite their functional importance, a systematic bioinformatics analysis of the HSP gene family was lacking in Poaceae. In this study, we revealed that HSPs are widely distributed from algae to eudicots, with varying numbers in Poaceae including Oryza, Triticum, and Panicum. Gene duplication events, particularly dispersed duplication (DSD), tandem duplication (TD), and genome polyploidization, have probably driven the increased number of HSP genes and the expansion of HSP family proteins. Gene Ontology (GO) annotation analyses suggested their conserved functions. Promoter cis-acting element analyses indicated that their expression levels were tightly regulated by abiotic stresses. We validated that many collinear HSP genes are indeed regulated by the cold stress by analyzing the published RNA-seq data in rice, maize, and wheat, and performing RT-qPCR in rice. Our findings shed light on the role of HSPs in the abiotic stress response, laying the groundwork for further exploration of HSP functions in Poaceae.
