Background
E2F/DP proteins have been shown to regulate genes implicated in cell cycle control and DNA repair. However, to date, research into the potential role of Moso bamboo E2F/DP family has been limited.
Results
Here, we identified 24 E2F/DPs in the Moso bamboo genome including nine E2F, six DP, eight DEL and one gene with partial E2F domain. Estimation of the divergence time of paralogous gene pairs suggested that E2F/DP family expansion was mainly contributed by whole-genome duplication event. The regulatory element and coexpression network analysis indicated that E2F/DP regulated the expression of cell cycle-related genes. Yeast two hybrid assay and expression analysis based on transcriptome data and in situ hybridization indicated that PheE2F-PheDP complex played important roles in winter moso bamboo shoot growth. qRT-PCR results showed that PheE2F/DPs performed diverse expression patterns in response to drought and salt treatment and diurnal cycles.
Conclusion
Our findings provide novel insights into the Moso bamboo E2F/DP family and partial experimental evidence for further functional verification of the PheE2F/DPs.
