Hemerythrin is a non-heme respiratory protein involved in oxygen storage and transport in invertebrates. In the present study, the hemerythrin cDNA was cloned from Phascolosoma esculenta (denoted as PeHr) by PCR and rapid amplification of cDNA ends approaches. The full-length PeHr consisted of 770 bp containing of a 5′-terminal untranslated region (UTR) of 83 bp, a 3′-terminal UTR of 327 bp, and a coding domain sequence of 360 bp encoding a polypeptide of 120 amino acids with estimated molecular mass of 13.6 kDa and theoretical isoelectric point of 5.78. The expression profiles of PeHr were evaluated by real-time RT-PCR under blood loss stress. The expression level of PeHr was significantly up-regulated from 45 to 48 h, then slightly recovered to its original level. The coding sequence of the PeHr was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) for antibodies preparation. Western blotting analysis conformed that the generated antibodies could specifically identify not only recombinant product, but also native protein from the total protein extraction. Our results indicated that PeHr might be involved into haemocytes regeneration, and its function roles should be further investigated by the generated antibodies. 相似文献

The methionine adenosyltransferase gene (MAT) had been isolated from an economic seaweed Undaria pinnatifida by PCR using degenerate primers. The cDNA was 1,491 bp in length with an open reading frame of 1,194 nucleotides, encoding a deduced protein of 397 amino acids. The protein had a predicted molecular weight of 43.2 kDa, and the isoelectric point was 5.244. The sequence contains a 92 bp 5′-untranslated region (UTR) and a 205 bp 3′-UTR. The methionine adenosyltransferase (MAT) sequence of U. pinnatifida (UpMAT) shared 68–92 % identities with the previous published MAT sequences of other species. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the phylogenetic relationship of UpMAT with some other seaweeds was closer than with those of higher plants. Under different stress conditions, the relative mRNA expression levels of the MAT of U. pinnatifida (UpMAT) were measured by real-time quantitative PCR, and the results demonstrated that the UpMAT might help to protect the alga against various abiotic stresses. 相似文献

Flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) is an important monooxygenase for catalytic oxygenation of many harmful xenobiotics. Mutations in the FMO3 gene have been identified as causing trimethylaminuria in human and fishy off-flavor in cow milk and chicken eggs. In this study, the full-length cDNA sequence of Pekin duck FMO3 gene was cloned, sequenced, and characterized. The full-length cDNA sequence consisted of 1,846 bp and contained a 1,599 bp open-reading frame encoding 532 amino acids. Duck FMO3 gene shared a similar nine exon–eight intron structure with chicken and human. The duck FMO3 putative protein sequence showed high identity with that of chicken (82 %), and relative low identity with those of mammals (61–66 %). We also found that the duck FMO3 gene was dramatically expressed in liver, lung, and kidney compared to that in other tissues in the ducks, indicating the possible roles the FMO3 gene could play in the three tissues. By bidirectional sequencing, we also found one nonsense mutation, 5 nonsynonymous, and 21 synonymous mutations in the coding region of the FMO3 gene in 11 duck breeds and some of them were predicted to be potentially associated with the activities of FMO3 protein. 相似文献

We have cloned and sequenced a 1.7 kb macronuclear chromosome encoding the pheromone 4 gene of Euplotes octocarinatus. The sequence of the secreted pheromone is preceded by a 42 amino acid leader peptide, which ends with a lysine residue. The sequence coding for the leader peptide contains information for a putative signal peptide and is interrupted by a 772 bp intron as shown by comparison with a cDNA clone. A 64 bp intron and a 145 bp intron interrupt the sequence coding for the secreted pheromone. The three introns contain typical 5′ and 3′ splice junctions and a putative branch point site. The small introns have a low GC content. The large intron has a GC content similar to that of the pheromone 4 gene exons. The amino acid sequence of pheromone 4, deduced from both the genomic DNA and the cDNA of pheromone 4, shows that the secreted pheromone consists of 85 amino acids. One of its amino acids is encoded by a UGA codon. Since it has been shown for pheromone 3 of E. octocarinatus that UGA is translated as cysteine, it is assumed that the UGA codon encodes cysteine in pheromone 4 as well. The 164 bp noncoding region upstream of the leader peptide is AT-rich and contains an inverted repeat capable of forming a stem-loop structure with a stem of 11 bp. The 151 bp noncoding region at the 3′ end of the chromosome contains a putative polyadenylation sequence and an inverted repeat. The macro-nuclear molecule is flanked by telomeres and carries the pentanucleotide motif TTGAA, located at a distance of 17 nucleotides from the telomeres. This motif has been suggested to be involved in the formation of macronuclear chromosomes. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

White Lupin (Lupinus albus) response to phosphorus stress: evidence for complex regulation of LaSAP1
Proteoid roots are a unique adaptation that allow white lupin (Lupinus albus L. var Ultra) to survive under extreme phosphorus (P) deficient conditions. The cascade of events that signals P-deficiency induced gene expression in proteoid roots remains unknown. Through promoter::GUS analysis we showed that expression of acid phosphatase (LaSAP1) in P-deficient proteoid roots depends on DNA located from ?465 bp to ?345 bp 5′ of the ATG start codon and that the P1BS (PHR1 Binding Site) element, located at ?160 bp, also contributes regulatory control. DNA located within the ?414 bp to ?250 bp region of the LaSAP1 promoter was bound by nuclear proteins isolated from P-sufficient normal roots in electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA), suggesting negative regulation. Competition experiments were performed with unlabeled oligonucleotides to further delineate the region of the LaSAP1 promoter bound by P-sufficient normal root nuclear proteins to a motif spanning ?361 bp to ?346 bp. The promoter motif characterized through EMSA spanning ?361 bp to ?345 bp was used as “bait” in a yeast one-hybrid (Y1H) experiment and 31 putative DNA binding proteins were isolated. Taken together, our results increase understanding of P-deficiency signaling by identifying regulatory regions and putative regulatory proteins for LaSAP1 expression. 相似文献

14·3·3 protein, a brain-specific protein, is an activator of tyrosine and tryptophan hydroxylases, key enzymes for biosynthesis of dopamine and serotonin. In this article, we describe cloning of cDNA for human brain 14·3·3 ν chain and expression of 14·3·3 ν chain mRNA in some human cultured cells. The cloned cDNA is 1730 bp long and contains 191 bp of a 5′-noncoding region, the complete 738 bp of coding region, and 801 bp of a 3′-noncoding region, containing three polyadenylation signals. This cDNA encoded a polypeptide of 246 amino acids (M, 28,196). Furthermore, usingin situ hybridization histochemistry, the expression of mRNA for this protein was examined in the rat central nervous system.In situ hybridization histochemistry indicated that 14·3·3 ? chain mRNA is detected not only in the monoamine-synthetic neurons, but also in other neurons in the discrete nuclei, which synthesize neither cathecholamine nor serotonin. Northern blot analysis demonstrated that the addition of methamphetamine into the cultured medium increased the mRNA level for 14·3·3 ? chain in U-251 cells, but did not increase that of GFAP. 相似文献

The melanophilin (MLPH) gene has been characterized as the candidate gene for dilute coat color in some species, but little is known about it in the goat. In this study, part of the genomic DNA sequence (19,289 bp) containing the whole coding region of the MLPH gene from goat, as well as from sheep, was determined. We found 16 exons and 15 introns; the coding region was 1767 bp distributed in 15 exons (2–16). In sheep, the length of part of the genomic DNA sequence was 16,988 bp, with 16 exons and 15 introns, and the coding region was 1833 bp, distributed in 15 exons (2–16). Dozens of SNPs as well as some noticeable motifs in the goat MLPH gene were found during the process of sequencing and polymorphism screening. Based on the SSR Tool, three simple sequence repeat motifs were detected in the goat and sheep DNA sequences. Compared with cattle, we found insertions of 4 amino acids in goats and 26 amino acids in sheep. 相似文献

Polymorphisms in the FTO gene are associated with obesity and body mass index in humans and livestock. Little information of whether FTO plays an important role in aquaculture fish species is available. We cloned and characterized the FTO gene in an economically important food fish species: Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer). The full-length cDNA of the gene is 3679 bp, containing an ORF of 1935 bp encoding 644 amino acids, a 216 bp 5′ UTR and a 1538 bp 3′ UTR. The gene consisted of nine exons and eight introns and was 117,679 bp in length. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the gene in Asian seabass was closely related to those of Japanese flounder and Nile tilapia. Analysis of its expressions using qRT-PCR showed that it was expressed ubiquitously, but was higher in the liver, stomach and intestine. Comparative analysis of the genomic sequences of part of intron 1 of the gene among 10 unrelated individuals identified two SNPs. Analysis of associations between SNPs and traits (i.e. growth, oil content, omega-3 and -6 contents) in an F2 family demonstrated that the two SNPs were significantly associated with growth, oil content, omega-3 content and omega-3/-6 ratio. Altogether, our data suggest that the gene or/and its linked genes play an important role in growth and fatty acid synthesis, and that the SNPs associated with traits may be used as markers for selecting quicker growth and higher omega-3/-6 ratio at the fingerling stage. 相似文献

Molecular cloning and sequence analysis of a mannitol dehydrogenase gene and isolation of mdh promoter from Candida magnoliae 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The mdh gene encodes mannitol dehydrogenase (MDH), which catalyzes the conversion of fructose into mannitol. The putative mdh gene of Candida magnoliae was isolated by PCR using the primers deduced from the N-terminal amino acid sequences of an intact MDH and its tryptic peptides, cloned in E. coli, and sequenced. The mdh gene consisted of 852 bp encoding for 283 amino acids. Analysis of the amino acid sequence revealed that MDH consisted of typical NADPH-dependent short chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDRs). To develop a strong promoter to induce expression of the foreign genes in C. magnolia, the putative promoter was isolated. The reporter protein, GFP, was well-expressed under the control of the putative mdh promoter of 153 bp in C. magnoliae. 相似文献

Peroxiredoxin (Prx) play vital parts in oxidative stress belonging to a cellular antioxidant protein family. Natural killer enhancing factor (NKEF) is a member of the Prx family, which is newly defined. In addition to antioxidant activity, NKEF also can protect DNA from oxidative damage. In order to study immune defense mechanism of NKEF in teleost, NKEF-A gene of miiuy croaker (Miichthys miiuy) was cloned and characterized. The genomic organization containing one non-coding exon, five coding exons and five introns, inclouding one intron located in 5′-terminal untranslated region. The full-length cDNA was 1235 bp, consisting of a 597 bp open reading frame coding for a protein of 198 amino acids. Sequence comparison showed that the deduced amino acid sequence of miiuy croaker NKEF-A had 71.4–90.3 % identity with those of mammal and teleost. Five single nucleotide polymorphisms were detected by direct sequencing of eight samples from three different populations. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that miiuy croaker NKEF-A forms a cluster with other known teleost and mammalian NKEF-As. NKEF-A gene was constitutively expressed in ten examined tissues, and expression level was up-regulated in liver, spleen and kidney after challenge with Vibrio anguillarum. Finally, the NKEF-A was constructed and expressed in Escherichia coli. Then purified recombinant pET-NKEF protein was used to produce the polyclonal antibody and the polyclonal antibody against NKEF-A was tested by Western blot analysis. These results indicate that NKEF may be involved in immune responses as well as homeostatic processes in miiuy croaker. 相似文献
