Abstract: NAD-malic enzyme is a key enzyme in malic acid metabolism pathway of plants. Two
apple NAD-ME genes(MdNAD-ME1 and MdNAD-ME2)were isolated from the‘Fuji’apple leaves
Malus × domestica Borkh.)by homologous comparison and RT-PCR confirmation. MdNAD-ME1 and
MdNAD-ME2 contained 1 785 bp and 1 818 bp ORFs,which encoded 595- and 605-aa proteins,
respectively. Amino acid sequence and structure analysis indicated that MdNAD-MEs contained five
conservative amino acid areas(Ⅰ–Ⅴ)and two functional structure domains:Malic and NAD_bind_1_
malic_enz. The result of phylogenetic analysis showed that MdNAD-ME1 belonged to dicotyledon
subgroup of α group,while MdNAD-ME2 belonged to dicotyledon subgroup of β group. qRT-PCR result
showed that MdNADP-MEs were constitutively expressed in all examined tissues,and the expression level
of MdNAD-ME1 were higher than of MdNAD-ME2 during more tissues. MdNAD-ME1 and MdNAD-ME2
had different patterns of expression during fruit development of‘Fuji’apple. Taken together,the above
results indicated that MdNAD-MEs belonged to NAD-ME family,and MdNAD-ME1 and MdNAD-ME2
might play different roles in the growth and development of apple.
