In this study the gene encoding HSP70 was isolated from Phascoloma esculenta by homologous cloning and rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). The full-length of cDNA (2520 bp) consists of a 5′-terminal untranslated region (UTR) (125 bp), a 3′-terminal UTR (421 bp) with a canonical polyadenylation signal sequence (AATAAA), a poly (A) tail, and an open reading frame (ORF) (1974 bp). The predicted molecular mass and isoelectric point for HSP70 is 71.6 kDa and 5.15, respectively. BLAST analysis showed that P. esculenta HSP70 gene shared high similarity. Classical HSP signature motifs, ATP/GTP-Binding Site Motif A, Bipartite Nuclear Targeting Sequence, the cytosolic HSP70 could be expressed in Escherichia coli BL21. After purification, the recombinant pET-HSP70 protein was used to produce the polyclonal antibody in mice and the specificity of the antibody was confirmed by Western blot analysis. Fluorescent real-time quantitative PCR analysis showed that expression of Hsp70 in sipuncula was increased significantly after exposure to 10 mM Zn for12 h, Cd for 24 h, Cu for 48 h, and was exposure to 37 °C for 24 h sea water. 相似文献

Arginine kinase (AK) is an important phosphotransferase that plays a critical role in energy metabolism in invertebrates.
In this paper, the cDNA of AK (designated as PtAK) was identified from the eyestalk cDNA library of swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus. The full-length cDNA was 1,479 bp, containing an open reading frame of 1,074 bp that coded for 357 amino acids. The estimated
molecular mass of mature PtAK was 40.30 kDa and theoretical isoelectric point was 6.18. Amino acid sequence alignment showed
that PtAK had very high similarity with other shrimp and crab AKs ranging from 0.876 to 0.983. The genomic DNA fragments of
about 1,434 bp consisted of two exons interrupted by an intron. Totally 24 SNPs, including 17 in the coding region and seven
in the non-coding region, were detected by direct sequencing of 19 genomic samples. In exon 1, the coding SNPs (cSNPs) were
only found in the disease-resistant specimens. The fluorescent real-time PCR analysis revealed that the expression of PtAK
was detected in all the examined tissues with the highest expression in the muscle and the lowest in the eyestalk. The expression
of PtAK after Vibrio alginolyticus injection was tested in haemocytes, showing that two peak values were 5.01-fold (at 3 h) and 3.60-fold (at 24 h) compared
with the control values, respectively. The results suggested that AK might play an important role in the immune response in
crabs. 相似文献

Eggs of the American horseshoe crab, Limulus polyphemus L., develop on sandy estuarine beaches during the spring and summer, and are potentially vulnerable to thermal stress during the 3-4 weeks of development to the first instar (trilobite) larval stage. In many marine taxa, heat shock (stress) proteins (Hsp's) help individuals acclimate to stresses by restoring the proper folding of cellular proteins whose shape has been altered by temperature shock or other forms of environmental stress. We examined the survival of embryos and first instar (trilobite) larvae following heat shock, and compared the levels of Hsp70 in heat shocked and control animals. Animals acclimated to 13 or 22 °C had close to 100% survival when heat shocked for 3 h at 35 or 40 °C, but exposure to 45 °C for 3 h was lethal. To study the effect of heat shock on Hsp70 production under environmentally realistic conditions, animals were acclimated to either 13 or 22 °C, heat-shocked at 35 °C for 3 h, and soluble proteins were extracted following 0, 2, 4, or 6 h recovery at 22 °C. The relative amounts of Hsp70 in horseshoe crab embryos and larvae were examined using SDS-PAGE and Western blotting. Relative to controls animals held at a constant temperature, there was a slight elevation of Hsp70 only among heat shocked trilobite larvae in the 6 h recovery treatment. Hsp70 levels did not differ significantly between control and heat shocked embryos. Horseshoe crabs have adapted to living in a thermally stressful environment by maintaining a high baseline (constitutive) level of cellular stress proteins such as Hsp70, rather than by synthesizing inducible Hsp's when stressful temperatures are encountered. This may be an effective strategy given that the heat shocks encountered by intertidal embryos and larvae occur regularly as a function of diurnal and tidal temperature changes. 相似文献

Molecular cloning and expression profiles of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in mud crab Scylla paramamosain 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The importance of the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) gene family is demonstrated by many studies in vertebrates and invertebrates in recent years. However, it keeps unknown of nitric oxide (NO) system and NOS gene family in mud crab Scylla paramamosain, an important cultured commercial crustacean in China and Pacific area. In this report, the cDNA of NOS containing full-length ORF was cloned from mud crab, S. paramamosain. It was of 4424 bp, including a 5′-terminal untranslated region (UTR) of 239 bp, a 3′-terminal UTR of 540 bp, which contained two ATTTA motifs, and an open reading frame (ORF) of 3645 bp encoding a polypeptide of 1214 amino acids. Structural analysis indicated that NOS contained a typical NO synthase domain at the N-terminal, next to a flavodoxin 1 domain, a flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) binding domain, respectively, and a conservative nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) binding domain structure at the C-terminal. Quantitative real-time PCR analysis revealed S. paramamosain NOS (SpNOS) to be expressed in all tissues examined, with the highest expression in midintestine and the weakest level in heart and eyestalk. The expression profiles of SpNOS indicated that the NOS expression levels were significantly induced in midintestine, hepatopancrease and hemocytes after challenged with Vibrio Parahaemolyticus, the synthetic double-stranded RNA polyinosinic polycytidylic acid (poly I:C) and lipopolysaccharides (LPS). The NOS activity in hemocytes showed significant increase during at 24 h-48 h time period after immune challenges with V. Parahaemolyticus, poly I:C and LPS. Results here may suggest that the inducible NOS play an important role in mud crab’s defense against pathogenic infection. 相似文献

Molecular cloning and expression analysis of a cytosolic Hsp70 gene from Antarctic ice algae Chlamydomonas sp. ICE-L 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A cDNA encoding heat shock protein 70 of Antarctic ice algae Chlamydomonas sp. ICE-L (designated as CiHsp70) was identified by RT-PCR and rapid amplification of cDNA ends approaches. The full-length
cDNA of CiHsp70 was 2,232 bp, consisting of a 5′-terminal untranslated region (UTR) of 76 bp, a 3′-terminal UTR of 203 bp
with a poly (A) tail, and an open reading frame of 1,953 bp. The CiHsp70 cDNA encoded a polypeptide of 651 amino acids with
an ATPase domain of 388 amino acids, the substrate peptide binding domain of 246 amino acids and a C-terminus domain of 17
amino acids. The inducible CiHsp70 cDNA was highly homologous to other plant cytosolic Hsp70 genes and clustered together
with green algae and higher plant rather than brown algae, diatom and Cryptophyta. Antarctic ice algae were treated with different
stress conditions and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels of CiHsp70 were quantified by quantitative RT-PCR. The results
showed that both cold and heat shock treatments could stimulate CiHsp70 mRNA expression. Meanwhile, CiHsp70 mRNA expression
level increased 2.9-fold in response to UV-B radiation for 6 h, while the expression levels of CiHsp70 were remarkably increased
after removing the UV-B radiation and immediately providing additional 6 h visible light. Furthermore, treating with 62 or
93‰ NaCl for 2 h, CiHsp70 mRNA expression level increased 3.0- and 2.1-fold, respectively. Together, our observations revealed
that CiHsp70 as a molecular chaperone might play an important role in Antarctic ice algae Chlamydomonas sp. ICE-L acclimatizing to polar environment. 相似文献

The heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) family is widely expressed in eukaryotic cells as the major chaperone protein. In this study,
the full-length complementary DNA (cDNA) of a novel inducible cytosolic Hsp70 family member (FcHsp70) was cloned from Fenneropenaeus chinensis. FcHsp70 full-length cDNA consists of 2,511 bp with a 1,890-bp open reading frame encoding 629 amino acids. Three Hsp70 protein family
signatures, IDLGTTYS, IIDLGGGTFDVSIL, and IVLVGGSTRIPKVQK, were found in the predicted FcHsp70 amino acid sequence. Phylogenetic
analysis showed that FcHsp70 was categorized together with the inducible HSP70s reported in other crustaceans. Compared to
the previously identified cognate Hsp70 (FcHsc70) in F. chinensis, the expression of FcHsp70 showed quite different expression profiles when the shrimp were subjected to different stresses
including heat shock and heavy metal treatments. Under heat shock treatment, the expression of FcHsp70 showed much higher
up-regulation than FcHsc70. Copper treatment also induced higher up-regulation of FcHsp70 than FcHsc70. Cadmium treatment
did not induce the expression of FcHsp70, but caused down-regulation of FcHsc70. The different expression profiles of FcHsp70
and FcHsc70 in shrimp may indicate their different reactions to different stresses. Therefore, Hsp70 or Hsc70 could be developed
as a biomarker to indicate different stresses in shrimp. 相似文献
