海参微卫星DNA的多态性

微卫星DNA(microsatellite DNA)广泛存在于真核生物的基因组中。由于其具有突变频率快、多态性丰富、呈共显性遗传、通用性等特点,已成为近年来被广泛应用的分子遗传标记。本研究对10个海参微卫星DNA进行了克隆与测序。结果表明:90%的微卫星DNA序列存在长度多态性,这为进一步研究海参的分子标记辅助育种奠定了基础。

海参i型溶菌酶基因及其编码产物的结构特点

通过RT-PCR 和 RACE PCR技术,从海参(Stichopus japonicus)体壁中克隆得到一种溶菌酶基因(GenBank：EF036468).生物信息软件分析表明,其中全长cDNA为 713 bp,5′非编码区（UTR）246 bp,3′UTR 29 bp,开放阅读框438 bp,编码145个氨基酸,包括溶菌酶成熟肽124个氨基酸和信号肽21个氨基酸.对海参溶菌酶与多种无脊椎动物的c、g和i型溶菌酶进行分析比较,发现它与i型溶菌酶有较高的同源性,并具有i型溶菌酶高度保守的2个活性位点,即Glu34和Ser50.活性位点附近具有i型溶菌酶的一段特有的氨基酸保守序列MDVGSLSCG(P/Y)(Y/F)QIK,所以推断克隆的海参溶菌酶为i型.另外,通过搜索蛋白保守结构域数据库,发现海参溶菌酶与医用水蛭失稳酶相似性最高,并且这2个酶的三级结构模型也极其相似.因此推测,海参i型溶菌酶具有双功能特性,既能作用于细菌细胞壁的糖苷键使细胞裂解,又具有失稳酶的一些生化功能,能够水解纤维蛋白,这些特点在海参自溶过程中发挥重要的作用.     

Isolation and Characterization of Twenty Microsatellite Loci in Japanese Sea Cucumber (Stichopus japonicus)

Twenty microsatellite markers were first developed from the Japanese sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus using an enrichment protocol. Of the 20 microsatellite loci, 19 loci were polymorphic in the population examined. At these polymorphic loci, the number of alleles per locus varied from 2 to 15, and the observed heterozygosities ranged from 0.03 to 0.97, which is considerably higher than those previously found for allozymes. The high variability of the microsatellite markers identified in this study will make them excellent tools for genetic analyses of S. japonicus.     

Induction of larval metamorphosis in the sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus by periphitic diatoms

The mass production of juvenile seeds of the sea cucumber,Stichopus japonicus has recently developed by the SeaFarming Center of Saga Prefecture. Methods for the culture ofperiphicic diatoms have been improved. There are three importantsteps in propagating the diatoms. The first step is theenrichment, with the addition of the nutrient salts, undercontrolled light intensity. The second step is washing withhigh pressure seawater and reversal of the plates. The laststep is elimination of copepods, which feed on diatoms, usinga pesticide. Small periphitic diatoms such as Navicula,Amphora, Achnanthes, and Nitzschia are easily culturedat a density of more than one million cells cm^–2, andthese diatoms are able to induce larval metamorphosis andserve as a food source for juvenile sea cucumbers.     

Purification and Characterization of Two Lectins from the Sea Cucumber Stichopus japonicus

Two Ca^{2 +}–dependent lectins were purified from the sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus by affinity chromatography on lactosyl-Sepharose 4B and ion-exchange chromatography on Q-Sepharose. Their molecular masses were estimated to be 13kDa (SJL-I) and 15kDa (SJL-II) on SDS-PAGE. SJL-I agglutinated rabbit erythrocytes as well as human A, B, and O-type erythrocytes, but SJL-II agglutinated only rabbit erythrocytes. Hemagglutination by SJL-I was competitively inhibited by N-acetyl-D- galactosamine and galactose-containing carbohydrates. On the other hand, only lactose, melibiose, and raffinose gave weak inhibition of hemagglutination by SJL-II, suggesting that SJL-II may have high specificity for particular complex carbohydrate(s) on the surface of rabbit erythrocytes. SJL-II was activated at ten times lower Ca²⁺ concentration than SJL-I. Both lectins lost activity in acidic pH, while SJL-I appeared more stable down to pH 4.5.     

Microsatellite Analysis of Japanese Sea Cucumber, Stichopus (Apostichopus) japonicus, Supports Reproductive Isolation in Color Variants

The genetic relationship among the three color variants (Red, Green, and Black) of the Japanese sea cucumber, S. japonicus, was investigated using 11 microsatellite markers. Genetic differentiation testing among the three sympatric color types showed the strong heterogeneity of Red (p < 0.001), while no significant difference was observed between Green and Black (p = 0.301 to 0.961). UPGMA trees constructed from 10 sample lots from 5 localities showed two distinct clusters, one from the Red types and the other from the Green and Black types. In addition, the sympatric Green and Black formed one subcluster with strong bootstrap support at each locality. These results indicate the separate species status of Red and the other color types, and also support the population identity of sympatric Green and Black.

Identification and characterization of microsatellite markers derived from expressed sequence tags of the sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus

Eleven polymorphic microsatellite markers were identified in expressed sequence tags generated from Stichopus japonicus cDNA libraries. The numbers of alleles ranged from three to 10, and the expected and observed heterozygosities ranged from 0.378 to 0.870 and from 0.077 to 0.690, respectively. Significant deviations from Hardy–Weinberg expectations were observed at eight loci due to homozygote excess, suggesting the widespread occurrence of null alleles. The microsatellite markers will be useful for examining genetic population structure, parentage analysis and mapping studies of S. japonicus.

Purification and Characterization of a Thermo- and Organic Solvent-Tolerant Alkaline Protease from Bacillus sp. JER02

Bacillus sp. JER02 is a bacterial strain that can be grown in a medium containing organic solvents and produce a protease enzyme. JER02 protease was purified with a yield of 31.9% of total protein and 328.83-fold purification. K _m and V_max of this protease were established as 0.826 µM and 7.18 µmol/min, respectively. JER02 protease stability was stimulated about 80% by cyclohexane. It exhibited optimum temperature activity at 70°C. Furthermore, this enzyme was active in a wide range of pH (4-12) and showed maximum activity at pH 9.0. The nonionic detergents Tween-20 and Triton X-100 improved the protease activity by 30 and 20%, respectively. In addition, this enzyme was shown to be very stable in the presence of strong anionic surfactants and oxidizing agents, since it retained 77%, 93%, and 98% of its initial activity, after 1 hr of incubation at room temperature with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), sodium perborate (1%, v/v) and H₂O₂ (1%, v/v), respectively. Overall, the unique properties of the Bacillus sp. JER02 protease suggested that this thermo- and detergent-stable, solvent-tolerant protease has great potential for industrial applications.

Expression,purification, and characterization of arginine kinase from the sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus

The arginine kinase gene of sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus was cloned and inserted into the prokaryotic expression plasmid pET-21b. The protein was expressed in a soluble and functional form in Escherichia coli and purified by Blue Sepharose CL-6B, DEAE-32, and Sephadex G-100 chromotography with a final yield of 83 mgL(-1) of LB medium. The specific activity, electrophoretic mobility, and isoelectric focusing were all identical with those of arginine kinase that was purified from sea cucumber muscle. The fluorescence emission spectrum of arginine kinase had a maximum fluorescence at a wavelength of 330 nm upon excitation at 295 nm. These results are the first report of this purified protein.     

Urea Induced Inactivation and Unfolding of Arginine Kinase from the Sea Cucumber Stichopus japonicus

Urea titration was used to study the inactivation and unfolding equilibrium of arginine kinase (AK) from the sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus. Both fluorescence spectral and circular dichroism spectral data indicated that an unfolding intermediate of AK existed in the presence of 1.0 to 2.0 M urea. This was further supported by the results of size exclusion chromatography. The spectral data suggested that this unfolding intermediate shared many structural characteristics with the native form of AK including its secondary structure, tertiary structure, as well as its quaternary structure. Furthermore, according to the residual activity curve, this unfolding intermediate form still retained its catalytic function although its activity was lower than that of native AK. Taken together, the results of our study give direct evidence that an intermediate with partial activity exists in unfolding equilibrium states of AK during titration with urea.

酰基辅酶A结合蛋白(acyl-CoA-binding protein,ACBP)对长链脂酰基辅酶A(long-chainfatty acyl-CoA esters,LCACoA)有很高的亲和力,因而对LCACoA在细胞内的运输和利用过程起重要的作用。本文采用RACE技术从鲈鱼肝脏中克隆了Acbp基因的全长cDNA序列,该基因全长cDNA 679 bp,5'端和3'端的非翻译区分别为83 bp和326 bp,开放阅读框为270 bp。推测编码89个氨基酸,理论等电点为5.44,分子量为10.14 kDa。鲈鱼Acbp与青鳉鱼、银鳕鱼、大西洋鲑和人的同源性分别为87%、84%、78%和68%。用RT-PCR和实时定量PCR检测鲈鱼肌肉、心脏、眼、大脑、消化道、肾脏、脂肪组织、脾脏、鳃和肝脏等10种组织的Acbp基因的表达情况,结果表明,在肾脏和肝脏的表达量高,肌肉、眼睛和大脑中表达低。定量PCR检测表明鲈鱼肝脏Acbp的表达在饥饿时明显下降,胰岛素上调其表达,葡萄糖对其表达则没有影响。
