Identification and Validation of Appropriate Reference Genes for qRT-PCR Analysis in Corynebacterium glutamicum

Abstract
Real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) is a fast and efficient technology for detecting gene expression levels in the study of the Corynebacterium glutamicum protein expression system, but it requires normalization to ensure the reliability of the results obtained. We selected 13 genes from the commonly used housekeeping genes and from transcriptome data as candidate reference genes. The Ct values of the 13 genes were obtained by qRT-PCR at different fermentation stages and under three stress conditions (temperature, acid, and salt). The expression stability of the reference genes was evaluated by geNorm and NormFinder software. For the study of different growth stages, the most appropriate reference genes are Ncgl2772 and leua, which encode acetyl-CoA carboxylase beta subunit and 2-isopropylmalate synthase, separately. For the study of different stress factors, the optimal minimum number of reference genes is 3, with Ncgl2772, gyrb encoding DNA gyrase B and siga encoding RNA polymerase sigma factor A as the most suitable combination. Additionally, clpx and clpc, encoding ClpX and ClpC protease subunits, were used to validate the candidate reference genes. The identification of new reference genes makes qRT-PCR more convenient, and using these genes for normalization can improve the accuracy and reliability of the measurements of target gene expression levels obtained by qRT-PCR for C. glutamicum.
