Cloning and sequencing of cDNA encoding for a human sperm antigen involved in fertilization

A cDNA encoding for a sperm antigen, designated NZ-2, was cloned and sequenced from human testis cDNA-λgt11 expression library by using antibodies to human sperm surface antigens belonging to 14–18 kD molecular regions. These sperm antigens are involved in binding to zona pellucida of the human oocyte. Computer generated translation analysis of 963-bp cDNA yielded an open reading frame (ORF) of 163 amino acids (aa) with first ATG, Met start codon at nucleotide (nt) 335 and the stop codon TAA at nt 824. The NZ-2 cDNA has 335-bp 5′ and 139-bp 3′ noncoding regions. The translated protein has a calculated molecular weight of ∼19 kD, and has two casein kinase II (CK-2) sites at aa 94–97 and 149–152, respectively. Extensive computer search in the GenBank, National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), and Swiss database indicates it to be a novel protein, having 99.5% nt sequence similarity, except for the first 40-bp, only with the human bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) containing cloned human sperm DNA, at position 76935–76009. The in vitro translated product of T3 RNA polymerase by using NZ-2 cDNA digested with XhoI yielded a protein band of ∼20 kD, indicating it to be sense strand. The in vitro translated product of T7 RNA polymerase by using NZ-2 cDNA digested with NotI did not yield any protein band, indicating it to be antisense strand. The ∼20 kD protein was recognized specifically by the antisperm IgG, not by the control IgG in the Western blot procedure. Neither antisperm IgG nor control IgG recognized any protein band in the in vitro translation products of the antisense strand. The human genomic DNAs from three different cells/tissues namely, sperm, kidney, and testis when cut by HindIII, and then hybridized with the NZ-2 cDNA probe in the Southern blot procedure, showed restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). The recombinant human sperm NZ-2 antigen may find applications in the development of a contraceptive vaccine, and diagnosis and treatment of infertility in humans. Mol. Reprod.

Cloning, sequencing and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of a porcine cDNA for OCT2

A full-length pig cDNA for the POU-domain protein OCT2 has been isolated and sequenced. The 478 amino acid-long reading frame in pig OCT2 is 97% identical to human OCTZA, indicating strong conservation of function for this immunoglobulin regulatory protein. To investigate the potential use of this cDNA for mapping and identifying linkage of OCT2 to economic traits, restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis was used to identify a TaqI polymorphism. A population of 60 unrelated animals, as well as multigenerational families, were typed for this RFLP and showed variability in several American and Chinese breeds. The Taq I polymorphism was also detected by a non-POU-domain OCT2 probe, demonstrating that this RFLP is located in the OCT2 gene. This result suggests that OCT2 is likely to be a single-copy gene in swine as seen in other mammals.     

Cloning and sequence analysis of the cDNA encoding a snake neurotoxin precursor

A recombinant plasmid has been constructed containing a sequence of 186 nucleotides encoding a potent neurotoxin found in the venom of the sea-snake Laticauda semifasciata and designated as erabutoxin a. This sequence is flanked, in the upstream region, by a sequence of 60 nucleotides encoding a hydrophobic peptide fragment presumably involved in the secretion process of the neurotoxin. The sequence coding for the toxin ends with a termination codon which is followed by a 3'-untranslated sequence of approximately 240 nucleotides (excluding the poly(A) tract).     

Molecular cloning and expression analysis of RrNHX1 and RrVHA-c genes related to salt tolerance in wild Rosa rugosa

Salt stress is one important factor influencing the growth and development of plants, and salt tolerance of plants is a result of combined action of multiple genes and mechanisms. Rosa rugosa is not only an important ornamental plant, but also the natural aromatic plant of high value. Wild R. rugosa which is naturally distributed on the coast and islands of China has a good salt tolerance due to the special living environment. Here, the vacuolar Na⁺/H⁺ reverse transporter gene (NHX1) and the vacuolar H⁺-ATPase subunit C gene (VHA-c) closely related to plant salt tolerance were isolated from wild R. rugosa, and the expression patterns in R. rugosa leaves of the two genes under NaCl stress were determined by real-time quantitative fluorescence PCR. The results showed that the RrNHX1 protein is a constitutive Na⁺/H⁺ reverse transporter, the expression of the RrNHX1 gene first increased and then decreased with the increasing salt concentration, and had a time-controlled effect. The RrVHA-c gene is suggestive of the housekeeping feature, its expression pattern showed a similar variation trend with the RrNHX1 gene under the stress of different concentrations of NaCl, and its temporal expression level under 200 mM NaCl stress presented bimodal change. These findings indicated that RrNHX1 and RrVHA-c genes are closely associated with the salt tolerance trait of wild R. rugosa.     

Cloning and Expression Analysis of Salt Responsive Gene from Kandelia candel

Identification of gene expression patterns in mangroves grown under salinity will help to reveal the molecular mechanisms of salt tolerance. Here, 10 cDNAs of genes were isolated from Kandelia candel and identified by representational difference analysis of cDNA (cDNA RDA) under different NaCl concentrations. Of five genes expressed preferentially under salt condition, two were unknown, three were two kinds of low molecular mass heat-shock proteins (sHSPs) and ADP-ribosylation factor, respectively. The expressions of other five genes were repressed under NaCl stress, two encoded cyclophilins, three were tonoplast intrinsic protein, early light-induced protein and 60S ribosomal protein, respectively.
