The products of mammalian LPIN2 and LPIN3 are phosphatidate phosphatase type 1 enzymes, which play an important role in the de novo biosynthesis of triacylglycerol,
phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine. In this study, we obtained a 2,985-bp cDNA sequence of porcine LPIN2, which contains a 2,676-bp open reading frame flanked by an 11-bp 5′UTR and a 298-bp 3′UTR, and a 2,843-bp cDNA sequence
of porcine LPIN3, which contains a 111-bp 5′UTR, a 2,580-bp open reading frame and a 152-bp 3′UTR. RT-PCR analysis showed that both LPIN2 and LPIN3 mRNA were ubiquitously expressed with a very high level in liver. By using the somatic cell hybrid panel (SCHP) and the radiation
hybrid (IMpRH) panel, porcine LPIN2 and LPIN3 were assigned to 6q24-(1/2)q31 and 17(1/2)q21-q23, respectively. One T2193C single nucleotide polymorphism in LPIN2 was identified and was detected by Hin6I PCR-RFLP. Association analysis showed that different genotypes of LPIN2 were associated with back-fat thickness between the 6th and 7th ribs (P < 0.01). 相似文献

Identification of Three <Emphasis Type="Italic">Superoxide dismutase</Emphasis> Genes from a <Emphasis Type="Italic">Geobacillus</Emphasis> sp. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We report the characterization of three Superoxide dismutase (sod) genes isolated from a bacterium in the Geobacillus genus. We isolated the bacterium from high-temperature pond mud and used 16S rRNA gene sequence to confirm its identity in
the Geobacillus genus. The three genes Mn-sod, Fe/Mn-sod, and Cu/Zn-sod were cloned and analyzed. Their open reading frames are Mn-sod: 615 bp encoding a 204 amino acid protein; Fe/Mn-sod: 1,236 bp encoding a 411 amino acid protein; Cu/Zn-sod: 522 bp encoding a 173 amino acid protein. When these sod genes were expressed in Escherichia coli, only Mn-SOD was able to be purified. The activity of the purified Mn-SOD we got was about 2,730 U/mg. Studies of this Mn-SOD
showed that it was thermostable at 60°, had 70% activity at 80° after 2.5 h, and still had 30% activity at 90° after 2.5 h.
Mn-SOD activity required the ion Mn2+. Based on gel electrophoresis, we deduced that this Mn-SOD was a homotetramer. No activity was detected after the other two
genes (Fe/Mn-sod, Cu/Zn-sod) were expressed in Escherichia coli, but activities were detected when expressed in Pichia pastoris. 相似文献

Salmonella causes the majority of infections in humans and homeothermic animals. This article describes a specific polymerase chain
reaction (PCR) method developed for a rapid identification of Salmonella. A gyrB-targeted species-specific primer pair, S-P-for (5′-GGT GGT TTC CGT AAA AGT A-3′) and S-P-rev (5′-GAA TCG CCT GGT TCT TGC-3′),
was successfully designed. PCR with all the Salmonella strains produced a 366- bp DNA fragment that was absent from all the non-Salmonella strains tested. The detection limit of the PCR was 0.01 ng with genomic DNA or 3.2 cells per assay. Good specificity was
also demonstrated by fecal samples, from which only the gyrB gene of Salmonella was amplified. Using the culture-PCR method, 27 isolates on Salmonella-Shigella (SS) medium were rapidly identified as Salmonella, which was confirmed by the sequencing of the gyrB gene. 相似文献

(S)-Tetrahydroberberine [(S)-THB] oxidase is the last enzyme of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids pathway which catalyzes the dehydrogenation of four hydrogen
atoms of (S)-THB to produce berberine, the final step of berberine biosynthesis. A (S)-THB gene, designated as Cs(S)-THBO (Genbank accession No. HQ393909), was cloned from a Corydalis saxicola cDNA library by rapid amplification of cDNA ends. The full-length of cDNA of Cs(S)-THBO was 1127 bp with an open reading frame of 699 bp that predicted to encode a 232-amino acid polypeptide, with a predicted
molecular mass of 25.20 kDa. Cs(S)-THBO was the first (S)-THBO gene found in C. saxicola. Real-time quantitative PCR analysis indicated that Cs(S)-THBO was constitutively expressed in roots, stems, leaves and flowers of C. saxicola, and with the highest expression level in roots. The results of treatment experiment for plant defense responses revealed
that expression of Cs(S)-THBO had a prominent diversity. Recombinant Cs(S)-THBO protein expressed in Escherichia coli strain BL21 (DE3) was active. The results of feeding experiment and HPLC–DAD–ESI–MSn analysis showed that Cs(S)-THBO had the function of catalyzing (S)-tetrahydroberberine to berberine. 相似文献

A chalcone reductase (CHR) gene was isolated from Astragalus membranaceus Bge. var. mongholicus (Bge.) Hsiao (A. mongholicus). The full-length cDNA of A. mongholicus CHR, designated as Amchr (GenBank accession No. HM357239), was 1196 bp long. It had a 957 bp open reading frame encoding a 318-amino acid protein
of 35 kDa, a 67 bp 5′ non-coding region and a 172 bp 3′-untranslated region. The putative AmCHR protein showed striking similarity
to CHR from other leguminous species. Two-dimensional structure modeling showed that AmCHR consisted of 45.28% α-helix, 10.38%
extended strand and 44.34% random coil. Prediction showed that three-dimensional AmCHR was a global protein containing an
aldo-ket-red domain, with a putative Asp-Tyr-Lys-His catalytic tetrad in the center. The AmCHR gene was 1251 bp long, consisting
of three exons and two introns. Intron I was 125 bp and intron II was 169 bp long. Southern blot analysis indicated that Amchr belonged to a small multigene family. Under natural conditions, Amchr was expressed differentially in the root, stem and leaf tissues of A. mongholicus, with a preferential expression in the root. The recombinant AmCHR protein was successfully expressed in Escherichia coli strain BL21 with pET42a vector. The result showed that the expressed AmCHR protein had molecular weight of about 35 kDa,
which matched the size of the predicted protein by bioinformatic analysis. This study opened avenues towards understanding
of the function of AmCHR protein and the role of the Amchr gene in the calycosin-7-O-β-d-glucoside branch pathway in A. mongholicus. 相似文献

An N-acetylglucosaminidase produced by Streptomyces cerradoensis was partially purified giving, by SDS-PAGE analysis, two main protein bands with Mr of 58.9 and 56.4 kDa. The Km and Vmax values for the enzyme using p-nitrophenyl-β-N-acetylglucosaminide as substrate were of 0.13 mM and 1.95 U mg−1 protein, respectively. The enzyme was optimally activity at pH 5.5 and at 50 °C when assayed over 10 min. Enzyme activity
was strongly inhibited by Cu2+ and Hg2+ at 10 mM, and was specific to substrates containing acetamide groups such as p-nitrophenyl-β-N-acetylglucosaminide and p-nitrophenyl-β-D-N,N′-diacetylchitobiose. 相似文献

Previously we reported the nucleotide sequence of a 14-3-3 cDNA cloned from the unicellular green alga Dunaliella salina, however, the nucleotide sequence of this gene have not been reported so far. In the present study, the cloning and characterization
of the nucleotide sequence, the gene copy and expression were undertaken. The coding sequence of the gene was found to be
interrupted by five introns of 132, 266, 153, 152 and 625 bp, respectively. Introns 3-5 were found in conserved positions
as compared to the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii 14-3-3 gene. D. salina 14-3-3 cDNA was inserted into the prokaryotic expression plasmid pET-28 and transformed into E. coli BL21, and the recombinant expressed 14-3-3 protein was purified from E. coli and immunized the rabbit. Indirect ELISA coated with 14-3-3 illustrated that the rabbit antisera titration was 1:1.00E + 06.
Western blotting assays confirmed that prepared rabbit antibodies could recognize the recombinant 14-3-3 protein. Southern
blotting results showed that there was only one copy of the 14-3-3 present in the genome of D. salina and 14-3-3 expression did not change throughout the Dnualiella cell cycle. 相似文献

Using 3′-RACE and 5′-RACE, we have cloned and sequenced the genomic gene and complete cDNA encoding l-glutamine d-fructose 6-phosphate amidotransferase (GFAT) from the edible straw mushroom, Volvariella volvacea. Gfat contains five introns, and encodes a predicted protein of 697 amino acids that is homologous to other reported GFAT sequences.
Southern hybridization indicated that a single gfat gene locus exists in the V. volvacea genome. Recombinant native V. volvacea GFAT enzyme, over-expressed using Escherichia coli and partially purified, had an estimated molecular mass of 306 kDa and consisted of four equal-sized subunits of 77 kD. Reciprocal
plots revealed K
m values of 0.55 and 0.75 mM for fructose 6-phosphate and l-glutamine, respectively. V. volvacea GFAT activity was inhibited by the end-product of the hexosamine pathway, UDP-GlcNAc, and by the glutamine analogues N
3-(4-methoxyfumaroyl)-l-2,3-diaminopropanoic acid and 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucitol-6-phosphate. 相似文献

Recently, the prenyltransferase SirD was found to be responsible for the O-prenylation of tyrosine in the biosynthesis of sirodesmin PL in Leptosphaeria maculans. In this study, the behavior of SirD towards phenylalanine/tyrosine and tryptophan derivatives was investigated. Product
formation has been observed with 12 of 19 phenylalanine/tyrosine derivatives. It was shown that the alanine structure attached
to the benzene ring and an electron donor, e.g., OH or NH2, at its para-position are essential for the enzyme activity. Modifications were possible both at the side chain and the benzene ring.
Enzyme products from seven phenylalanine/tyrosine derivatives were isolated and characterized by MS and NMR analyses including
HSQC and HMBC and proven to be O- or N-prenylated derivatives at position C4 of the benzene rings. K
M
values of six selected derivatives were found in the range of 0.10–0.68 mM. Catalytic efficiencies (K
cat/K
M
) were determined in the range of 430–1,110 s−1·M−1 with l-tyrosine as the best substrate. In addition, 7 of 14 tested tryptophan analogs were also accepted by SirD and converted to
C7-prenylated derivatives, which was confirmed by comparison with products obtained from enzyme assays using a 7-dimethylallyltryptophan
synthase 7-DMATS from Aspergillus fumigatus. 相似文献

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) (Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) is the most important pathogen in soybean production worldwide and causes substantial yield losses. An apparent
narrow genetic base of SCN resistance was observed in current elite soybean cultivars, and searching for novel SCN resistance
genes as well as novel resistance sources rather than focusing on the two important genes rhg1 and Rhg4 has become another major objective in soybean research. In the present paper we report a 1,477 bp Hs1
pro-1
homolog, named GmHs1
pro-1
. This gene was cloned from soybean variety Wenfeng 7 based on information for Hs1
pro-1
, a beet cyst nematode resistance gene in sugar beet. It has two domains, Hs1pro-1_N and Hs1pro-1_C, both of which are believed
to confer resistance to nematodes. Of the 1,477 bp sequence in GmHs1
pro-1
, an open reading frame of 1,314 bp, encoding a protein with 437 amino acids, was flanked by a 5′-untranslated region of 27 bp
and a 3′-untranslated region of 135 bp. Fourteen single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were observed in 44 soybean accessions
including 23 wild soybeans, 8 landraces, and 13 soybean varieties (or lines), among which 5 in wild soybeans and 3 in landrace
accessions were unique. Sequence diversity analysis on the 44 soybean accessions showed π = 0.00168 and θ = 0.00218 for GmHs1
pro-1
; landraces had the highest diversity, followed by wild soybeans, with varieties (or lines) having the lowest. Although we
did not detect a significant effect of selection on GmHs1
pro-1
in the three populations, sequence diversity, unique SNPs, and phylogenetic analysis indicated a slight domestication bottleneck
and an intensive selection bottleneck. High sequence diversity, more unique SNPs, and broader representation across the phylogenetic
tree in wild soybeans and landraces indicated that wild collections and landrace accessions are invaluable germplasm for broadening
the genetic base of elite soybean varieties resistant to SCN.
