The Cucurbitaceae family accumulates dioxin-like compounds in its fruits. We previously showed thatA20/AN1zinc finger protein(ZFP) genes were highly expressed in the zucchini (Cucurbita pepo) subspeciespepo, which accumulates dioxin-like compounds at high concentrations. Transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants overexpressingA20/AN1 ZFPgenes 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 themajor latex-like protein(MLP) and its homolog genes inN. tabacumandC. pepo. MLPs are involved in the transport of dioxin-like compounds from the roots to the upper parts ofC. pepo. Overexpression ofA20/AN1 ZFPgenes inN. tabacumleads to the upregulation ofpathogenesis-related protein class-10genes with the binding ability toward dioxin-like compounds. Our results demonstrated that A20/AN1 ZFPs upregulateMLPand its homolog genes inN. tabacumandC. pepo, resulting in the accumulation of dioxin-like compounds.
