A20/AN1 zinc-finger proteins positively regulate major latex-like proteins, transporting factors toward dioxin-like compounds in Cucurbita pepo

The Cucurbitaceae family accumulates dioxin-like compounds in its fruits. We previously showed that A20/AN1 zinc finger protein (ZFP) genes were highly expressed in the zucchini (Cucurbita pepo) subspecies pepo, which accumulates dioxin-like compounds at high concentrations. Transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants overexpressing A20/AN1 ZFP genes show accumulation of dioxin-like compounds in their upper parts. However, the mechanisms underlying the accumulation of dioxin-like compounds regulated by the A20/AN1 ZFPs remain unclear. Here, we show that A20/AN1 ZFPs positively regulate the expression of the major latex-like protein (MLP) and its homolog genes in N. tabacum and C. pepo. MLPs are involved in the transport of dioxin-like compounds from the roots to the upper parts of C. pepo. Overexpression of A20/AN1 ZFP genes in N. tabacum leads to the upregulation of pathogenesis-related protein class-10 genes with the binding ability toward dioxin-like compounds. Our results demonstrated that A20/AN1 ZFPs upregulate MLP and its homolog genes in N. tabacum and C. pepo, resulting in the accumulation of dioxin-like compounds.
