title: Whole genome identification and analysis of FK506-binding protein family genes in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.).
abstract: In plant and animal species FK506-binding protein (FKBP) family genes are important conserved genes and it is defined as the receptors of FK506 and rapamycin, where they work as PPIase and protein folding chaperones. FKBP have been isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana, Oryza sativa, and Zea mays. In grape, twenty-three genes containing the FK506-binding domain (FKBP_C) were first time identified by HMMER and blast research, they were classified into three groups and 17 out of the 23 genes were located on 11 chromosomes (Chr1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19). The predicted gene expression pattern and semi-quantitative RT-PCR results revealed that five VvFKBPs were expressed in all tissues, while seven VvFKBPs were expressed only in some of the tissues, and the remaining VvFKBPs were not expressed in leaf, stem, inflorescences, flowers, and a mixture of fruit tissues (small, medium and big-sized fruits). Most of the VvFKBPs in grapevine 'Summer Black' were similar to those predicted one in 'Pinot Noir' except for VvFKBP16-4 and VvFKBPa. VvFKBP12, FaFKBP12 and PpFKBP12 were cloned from 'Summer Black', 'Sweet Charlie' and 'Xiahui 6'. Protein structure analysis confirmed that homologous genes have some differences during the process of protein structure construction. In this study, we characterized and verified 23 FKBP family genes in grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) as well as their sub-cellular and chromosome location. The successful cloning of CDS regions and protein structural analysis of VvFKBP12, FaFKBP12, and PpFKBP12 can provide useful information for further study.
