鲢鱼解偶联蛋白2全长cDNA序列的克隆及其组织表达

从淡水食毒藻鱼类鲢鱼(Hypophthalmichthys molitrix)肝脏，通过简并引物克隆解偶联蛋白2(uncoupling protein 2，UCP2) cDNA核心序列，应用5′RACE和3′RACE技术分别扩增该序列的5′末端和3′末端序列，最后通过序列拼接获得鲢鱼肝脏UCP2 cDNA全序列。序列分析结果表明，鲢鱼肝脏UCP2 cDNA全长1 452 bp，其中5′-UTR长337 bp，3′-UTR长182 bp，编码区933 bp，编码310个氨基酸，推测的氨基酸序列包含线粒体内膜载体蛋白3个特征结构及解偶联蛋白(UCPs)的特征序列。对鲢鱼不同组织UCP2的表达调控研究发现，鲢鱼组织UCP2基因在肠道、肝脏、肌肉、脂肪组织均大量表达，而在脑组织表达量较低，这与鲢鱼体内微囊藻毒素在这几个组织的分布完全一致，表明UCP2的功能可能与抑制微囊藻毒素引发过量活性氧(ROS)生成有关。

淡水鱼类可溶性谷胱甘肽S-转移酶(sGST)在微囊藻毒素去毒代谢过程中具有独特的关键作用,因而也称为微囊藻毒素去毒酶.从淡水食毒藻鱼类鲢鱼(Hypophthalmichthysmolitrix)肝脏通过简并引物克隆微囊藻毒素去毒酶基因cDNA核心序列,应用5′RACE和3′RACE技术分别扩增该序列的5′末端和3′末端序列,最后通过序列拼接获得鲢鱼肝脏微囊藻毒素去毒酶基因cDNA全序列.序列分析结果表明,鲢鱼肝脏微囊藻毒素去毒酶基因cDNA全长920bp,其中5′-UTR长74bp,3′-UTR长174bp,编码区长672bp,编码223个氨基酸.应用基因组步行法,在鲢鱼克隆得到淡水鱼类微囊藻毒素去毒酶基因5′侧翼区878bp序列.与哺乳动物及海水鱼sGST基因不同,鲢鱼微囊藻毒素去毒酶基因的5′侧翼区,发现存在多个脂多糖反应元件(LPSRE),表明来源于毒藻的脂多糖可能对鲢鱼微囊藻毒素去毒酶基因表达有潜在调控作用.

罗非鱼微囊藻毒素去毒相关基因克隆与活体表达研究

可溶性谷胱甘肽S-转移酶(Soluble glutathione S-transferase,sGST)催化微囊藻毒素(Microcystins,MCs)与还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)的加合去毒代谢过程,谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(Glutathione peroxidase,GPX)为sGST的去毒反应提供GSH,解偶联蛋白2(Uncoupling protein 2,UCP2)则可抑制微囊藻毒素诱发活性氧导致的肝细胞凋亡。本研究从罗非鱼肝脏通过简并引物克隆sGST、GPX与UCP2基因cDNA核心序列,并应用5’RACE和3’RACE技术分别扩增罗非鱼肝脏sGST基因cDNA序列5’末端和3’末端序列而获得其cDNA全序列。罗非鱼肝脏sGST基因cDNA全序列长861 bp,其中5’非翻译区(5-’UTR)为25 bp,3’非翻译区(3-’UTR)为167 bp,开放阅读框(ORF)为669 bp,编码222个氨基酸,包含脊椎动物完整sGST的2个功能域:N-末端功能域(GSH结合位点)和C-末端功能域(底物结合位点)。罗非鱼sGST与真鲷、条石鲷(Oplegnathus fasciatus)、斑马鱼同源性较高,达到64.3%—78.5%,而与人、大鼠、小鼠、牛、猪、鸡差异较大,氨基酸同源性为48.2%—55.9%。罗非鱼肝脏GPX、UCP2基因cDNA核心序列长280 bp、776 bp,分别编码92、258个氨基酸。罗非鱼GPX与条石鲷、虹鳟、斑马鱼、人、大鼠、小鼠、牛、猪GPX同源性均较高,达到69.6%—85.9%。罗非鱼UCP2与真鲷、斑马鱼、鲤鱼、欧洲白鲑(Leuciscus cephalus)、草鱼、人、大鼠、小鼠UCP2同源性更高,达到71.8%—93.8%。通过对罗非鱼(5—8 g)活体腹腔注射亚致死量MC-LR(50μg/kg bwt),发现微囊藻毒素对罗非鱼肝脏sGST基因表达有显著的诱导作用(p<0.05),注射微囊藻毒素24h后sGST基因mRNA表达水平上调80%。注射微囊藻毒素24h后,虽然罗非鱼肝脏GPX与UCP2基因mRNA表达水平亦出现明显的升高趋势,但两者均未出现显著性的变化(p>0.05)。本研究从基因表达调控的角度证实,罗非鱼肝脏sGST在微囊藻毒素去毒过程中可能发挥关键作用,同时也说明罗非鱼肝脏GPX、UCP2基因可能在微囊藻去毒过程中发挥协同作用。

簸箕柳AP3同源基因SsMADS的克隆与特性分析

用cDNA末端快速扩增(rapid-amplification of cDNA ends,RACE)方法从簸箕柳雄花序中克隆了一个AP3同源基因的cDNA,长826 bp,包括完整的编码区、5′-UTR和3′-UTR,并将其相应的基因命名为SsMADS。该基因由7个外显子和6个内含子组成,编码区长723 bp,编码241个氨基酸,其N-端具有典型的MADS保守结构域。序列分析表明,SsMADS编码的氨基酸序列与毛果杨(Populus trichocarp)AP3同源蛋白有95.7%相似性,与其他几种柳属植物的AP3同源蛋白相似性达96.1%～99.6%。实时定量RT-PCR表明,SsMADS在叶、茎和根中表达量极低,在花序中表达量较高,并且其表达量在花器官的早中期发育阶段逐步提高,说明该基因在簸箕柳花器官的发育中起作用。     

真鲷肝脏解偶联蛋白2(UCP2)基因及其功能的探讨

从真鲷(Pagrus major)肝脏通过简并引物PCR克隆解偶联蛋白2(UCP2)cDNA部分序列。该片段长674bp,编码224个氨基酸残基。推测的此部分氨基酸序列包含线粒体载体蛋白的特征结构,并与其它脊椎动物UCP2氨基酸序列同源性在72．8％以上。对变温动物色类UCP2组织表达调控研究表明：与哺乳类UCP2基因不同,真鲷UCP2基因在肝脏大量表达,而在腹腔肠系膜脂肪组织则仅有痕迹量表达,两者表达水平相差20倍以上。饲料中添加10％绿鳕油或48h饥饿对真鲷肝脏UCP2基因的表达水平均无显著影响,表明UCP2基因在脂肪含量高的鱼类肝脏表达十分稳定,为维持其基本功能所必需。真鲷肝脏和腹腔肠系膜脂肪组织UCP2基因表达水平的强烈反差,与鱼类这两种贮脂器官完全不同的氧化活性相一致[动物学报49(1)：110—117,2003]。

珊瑚藻R-藻红蛋白γ亚基基因的克隆(英文)

根据珊瑚藻(Corallina afficinalis L.)R-藻红蛋白γ亚基N末端部分氨基酸序列(P83592)设计简并引物,结合RACE方法,扩增获得g亚基的全长cDNA序列。结果表明,序列全长为2308 bp(AY209894),5′非编码区长1203bp,3′非编码区长145 bp,编码区长960 bp,编码320个氨基酸组成的前体,包含71个氨基酸构成的信号肽和249个氨基酸组成的成熟蛋白。成熟蛋白序列内部存在重复序列与前人的报道一致。珊瑚藻亚基cDNA序列不同克隆子的测序结果表明,g亚基cDNA序列存在不同的3′末端,说明该基因可能存在多个拷贝或存在转录后加工。此外,扩增获得g亚基DNA序列(AY308999),比较表明编码区内部没有内含子存在。本文是对珊瑚藻R-藻红蛋白g亚基基因序列的首次报道。

Cause of Senescence of Nine Sorts of Flowers

The levels of endogenous phytohormones and respiratory rate in nine sorts of flowers such as Cymbidium faberi Rolfe, Nopalxochia ackermannii Kunth and others were investigated both at full bloom and senescence and meanwhile the effect of exogenous phytohormones on prolonging the blossoms and promoting ethylene production were tested. There is a high content of endogenous ethylene in all the long-lived flowere, about 3–16 folds higer than the short-lived ones. There is a high level of ABA at full blooming flowers of short-lived flowers, in which there is no or only some cytokinins in it, but the ratio of CTK (6BA+zeatin)/ABA is smaller(l.7). The endogenous ABA reached a much higher level at senescence in all nine sorts of flowers, so it is reasonable to consider that it is ABA which plays an important role of regulation in controlling flower's senescence. There is a much higher level of GA3 and zeatin in the long-lived flowers which is not demonstrated in the shortlived ones. The respiratory rate is one of the factors controtling the longevity of flowers, but it does not play a decided role. Application of 6BA and zeatin prolongs distinctly orchid’s longevity, however exogenous IAA through the promotive action on ethylene production, evidently extends the longevity of the flowers of the Nopalxochia ackermannii Kunth.

Time of detection of recessive genes: effects of system of mating and number of examined individuals

Summary Anthers were cultured from two sets of seven lines of hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) with different cytoplasms, the euplasmic nucleus donors, Siete Cerros 66 and Penjamo 62, as well as their six alloplasmic lines derived from wild relative species of the genera Triticum and Aegilops. Significant cytoplasmic and nuclear effects but no cytoplasmic-nuclear interaction were found for embryogenic anther response, with the best performance of Penjamo 62 in Ae. kotschyi cytoplasm. Plant regeneration was not affected significantly by the cytoplasmic background of the lines cultured. The possible genetic implications of the observed cytoplasmic and nuclear influences on the in vitro haploid induction of wheat are discussed.     

The effects of glutamine of the maintenance of embryogenic cultures of Cryptomeria japonica

Summary Embryogenic tissues of sugi (Cryptomeria japonica) were induced on a modified Campbell and Durzan (CD) medium containing 1 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 600 mg l⁻¹ glutamine, and subcultured in the medium of the same composition for over 1 yr. This resulted in a mixed culture of embryogenic and non-embryogenic cells. When embryogenic cells were isolated and cultured independently, their capacity to form embryogenic aggregates was lost. Thus, the non-embryogenic cells present within a mixed culture system were essential to the formation of embryogenic aggregates. When embryogenic tissues were isolated and cultured independently on a high glutamine-containing (2400 mg l⁻¹) medium, dry weights and endogenous levels of glutamine increased, and the tissue could generate a large number of embryogenic aggregates. Amino acid analysis of embryogenic and non-embryogenic cells from the maintenance culture indicated a higher level of glutamine was present in the latter. The high endogenous level of glutamine in the non-embryogenic portion of mixed cell masses may be the supplier of glutamine for maintaining the embryogenic property of the tissues.     

Photoregulation of seed germination of wild-type and of an aurea-mutant of tomato

Seed germination of an aurea mutant of tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) is promoted by continuous irradiation with red, far-red or long-wavelength far-red (758 nm) light as well as by cyclic irradiations (5 min red or 5 min far-red/25 min darkness). Far-red light applied immediately after each red does not change the germination behaviour. Seed germination of the isogenic wild-type, cv. UC-105, is promoted by continuous and cyclic red light while it is inhibited by continuous and cyclic far-red light and by continious 758 nm irradiation. Far-red irradiation reverses almost completely the promoting effect of red light. The promoting effect (in the aurea mutant) and the inhibitory effect (in the wild-type) of continuous far-red light do not show photon fluence rate dependency above 20 nmol m⁻² s⁻¹. It is concluded that phytochrome controls tomato seed germination throgh low energy responses in both the wild type and the au mutant. The promoting effect of continuous and cyclic far-red light in the au mutant can be attributed to a greater sensitivity to P_fr.
