小菜蛾触角结合蛋白PxylOBP31的鉴定与结合特性分析

【目的】触角结合蛋白(antennal binding proteins,ABPs)为昆虫气味结合蛋白(odorant binding proteins,OBPs)家族的一个亚类,是昆虫识别和响应外界环境中气味信号的载体之一,对昆虫的生存和繁衍有着重要的意义。明确触角结合蛋白在小菜蛾Plutella xylostella(L.)嗅觉识别中的作用,有助于揭示小菜蛾嗅觉识别分子机制。【方法】利用PCR技术克隆小菜蛾的一个触角结合蛋白基因;采用实时荧光定量PCR技术对该基因在小菜蛾不同发育阶段和成虫不同组织中的表达量进行分析;利用荧光竞争结合实验测试该触角结合蛋白与39种配基化合物的结合特性。【结果】成功克隆了一个小菜蛾触角结合蛋白基因,命名为Pxyl OBP31(Gen Bank登录号:KT156676)。序列分析结果显示,其开放阅读框全长411 bp,编码136个氨基酸,N端自起始位置开始21个氨基酸为信号肽,含有气味结合蛋白家族的6个保守半胱氨酸残基,预测分子量为14.74 k D,等电点为4.41。表达谱分析表明,Pxyl OBP31主要在雄蛾中表达,且交配后的雄蛾中表达量明显降低;该基因在小菜蛾触角中有较高表达,在雄蛾触角中的表达量比雌蛾触角中高近2倍。结合特性实验结果显示,Pxyl OBP31与醛、酮、萜品油烯以及邻苯二甲酸二异丁酯等物质的结合能力较强,与3种性信息素及其他烯烃与酯类结合能力弱。【结论】本研究明确了Pxyl OBP31的核苷酸序列以及发育和组织表达谱。根据qRT-PCR和荧光竞争结合实验结果,推测Pxyl OBP31蛋白可能与小菜蛾觅偶、定位寄主植物等行为有关。

Analysis of cytochrome P450 genes in silkworm genome (Bombyx mori)

Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450) are im-portant metabolic enzymes involved in the metabolism not only of a wide range of endogenous compounds such as fatty acids, steroids, hormones or vitamins, but also of exogenous substrates such as drugs, chemicals including environmental pollutants, such carcinogens as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and pesticides[1]. P450s are found virtually in all aerobic organisms, including organisms as diverse as in insects, plants, mammals, birds and bacter…     

Cytochrome P450 and actin genes expressed in Helicoverpa zea and Helicoverpa armigera: paralogy/orthology identification, gene conversion and evolution.

Molecular phylogenetic analysis was conducted using conserved cytoplasmic actin and diversified cytochrome P450 (P450) sequences isolated from Helicoverpa zea and Helicoverpa armigera, two species thought to be closely related based on allozyme analyses. These sequences were compared in turn with published sequences from other insects to gain insight into how different gene families evolve. In Bombyx mori and these Helicoverpa species, cytoplasmic actin genes are present as a pair of tandemly duplicated paralogs with coding sequence identities as high as 95.5% (B. mori), 98.9% (H. zea) and 98.5% (H. armigera) due to recent 5'-polar gene conversions. Phylogeny and interspecies comparisons assign the six actin genes into two orthologous groups: HaA3a/HzA3a/BmA3 and HaA3b/HzA3b/BmA4, which exhibit more similarities between H. zea and H. armigera than between Helicoverpa species and B. mori. Like the actin genes in H. zea, four CYP6B genes exist as two pairs of duplicated paralogs with recent 5'-polar gene conversions. Interspecific comparisons and phylogeny analysis identified three groups of orthologous CYP6B genes: H. zea CYP6B8 or CYP6B28/H. armigera CYP6B7, H. zea CYP6B27/H. armigera CYP6B6, and H. zea CYP6B9/H. armigera CYP6B2/Heliothis virescens CYP6B10. The low degree of divergence in the first two of these groups is comparable to allelic variation within a single species. These orthologous relationships and the high degrees of similarity in both actin and P450 genes strongly indicate that these Helicoverpa species are extremely closely related.     

家蚕P450基因CYP18A1的克隆、序列分析及转录活性

蜕皮激素对昆虫生长、发育和繁殖有重要调控作用,尤其对蜕皮和变态过程。利用GenBank上登录的蜕皮激素C₂₆羟基化酶候选基因CYP18A1的氨基酸序列对家蚕Bombyx mori全基因组数据库进行BLASTP比对,发现了家蚕直向同源基因(ortholog),其完全编码序列经RT-PCR检测和克隆、测序验证后,再以此为信息探针检索家蚕表达序列标签(expressed sequence tags,EST)数据库进行拼接延伸,获得了一条包括5′非翻译区在内的长度为1 737 bp的cDNA序列,验证结果也表明与电子克隆序列完全一致(GenBank登录号为EF421988,P450命名委员会将其命名为CYP18A1)。该基因的开放阅读框为1 623 bp,编码541个氨基酸,含有包括P450s特征结构域在内的所有昆虫P450基因的5个保守结构域,其推定的分子量为61.67 kD,等电点为 8.54。将该基因cDNA序列与家蚕基因组序列进行比对,结果表明该基因具有6个外显子,5个内含子,外显子／内含子边界符合经典的GT-AG规则。同源性分析也发现家蚕CYP18A1与其他昆虫的直向同源基因具有较高相似性。用RT-PCR方法对家蚕主要发育变态时期与组织进行检测,显示出该基因的转录表达不仅具有时空特异性,而且在表达时期上与已报道的蚕体内蜕皮激素含量变化有紧密的一致性。该研究进一步证实了CYP18A1基因与昆虫体内蜕皮激素代谢平衡相关联。     

Spatially distinct expression of two new cytochrome P450s in leaves of Nepeta racemosa/: identification of a trichome-specific isoform

Using a PCR-based approach, two novel cytochrome P450 cDNAs were isolated from a catmint (Nepeta racemosa) leaf cDNA library. The cDNAs (pBSK3C7 and pBSK4C3) were 76.9% identical in their nucleotide sequences, indicating that they are the products of two closely-related genes. A comparison of the sequence of these cDNAs with database sequences indicated that they represent new members of the CYP71 gene family of plant cytochrome P450s. Clone pBSK3C7 contains the full-length coding sequence of a cytochrome P450, whilst pBSK4C3 lacks ca. 6 codons at the 5' end. The cytochromes P450 encoded by these clones were designated CYP71A5 and CYP71A6 (pBSK3C7 and pBSK4C3, respectively). Southern blot analysis indicated that the corresponding genes were present as single copies in the genome of N. racemosa. Northern blot analysis showed that a gene homologous with CYP71A5 was expressed in the related species N. cataria, but no homologue of CYP71A6 was detected in this species. Expression of CYP71A5 in N. racemosa was maximal in flowers, tissues within the apical bud, and young expanded leaves. That of CYP71A6 was maximal in older leaves. Expression of CYP71A5 occurred exclusively in trichomes present on the leaf surfaces, in contrast to that of CYP71A6, which occurred predominantly within the leaf blade tissues.     

Identification and characterization of six cytochrome P450 genes belonging to CYP4 and CYP6 gene families in the silkworm,Bombyx mori

It was predicted that the genome of silkworm, Bombyx mori, has at least 79 P450 genes; however, P450 genes that are related to the catabolism of exogenous compounds were not reported. In this study we cloned two CYP4 (named CPY4M5 and CYP4M9) and four CYP6 (named CYP6AB5, CYP6AE9, CYP6AE22 and CYP6AU1) genes by using both bioinformatics and RT-PCR approaches. Sequence analysis showed that these genes contained conserved P450 gene sequence regions and one conserved intron. CYP4M5 and CYP4M9 genes were clustered together in a mode of “head-to-tail” possibly due to gene duplication. Blast analysis showed that these P450 genes shared significant similarity with CYP4 and CYP6 genes that are involved in the catabolism and detoxification of exogenous compounds in other insect species. RT-PCR results showed that these P450 genes were highly expressed in the midgut and fat body of B. mori. As the instar age increased, these P450 genes exhibit different expression patterns. When B. mori was exposed to 1.75 × 10^?5 % of cypermethrin, 3.5 × 10^?6 % of cypermethrin and 0.1 % of rutin, expression of CYP6AB5 was increased by 2.3-fold, 2.2-fold and 1.9-fold, respectively. Exposure of B. mori to 0.1 % quercetin does not change the expression of CYP6AB5. In contrast, expression of the other five P450 genes was inhibited after exposed to these compounds.     

Genome-wide analysis of cytochrome P450 monooxygenase genes in the silkworm, Bombyx mori

Based on the advances in the silkworm genome project, a new genome-wide analysis of cytochrome P450 genes was performed. A total of 84 CYP-related sequences were identified and could be classified into 26 families and 47 subfamilies according to standard nomenclature. Seventy eight of the eighty four genes appear to be functional and six are probable pseudogenes. The distribution of Bombyx mori P450s in the genome shows that most of them are tandem arranged on chromosomes, only 34 genes are present as singletons, with 8 clusters including 3 or more than 3 genes. Sequence alignments were used to reconstruct phylogenetic trees and to analyze the intron-exon organizations of the functional genes. The conserved intron positioning agrees perfectly with their common grouping on the tree. The presence of three extremely ancient introns which are conserved across different clans indicates that a few introns are still highly conserved after they have undergone extensive evolutionary changes of B. mori P450 duplication and divergence. Comparison of the P450s from B. mori to the P450s from Drosophila melanogaster shows that the expansion is not uniform across the gene families. Remarkably, two mitochondrial families, the B. mori CYP333 and D. melanogaster Cyp12, formed two orthologous groups in the phylogenetic tree. All CYP333s can be proposed to be related to xenobiotic metabolism in accordance with the D. melanogaster Cyp12s. The characterization and evolutionary analysis of P450s from B. mori in the current study provide useful information for understanding the characteristics and diversity of P450s from B. mori and the baseline for functional analyses of individual P450s in this model Lepidopteran insect.     

两种泥鳅芳香化酶基因的克隆与时空表达

鱼类的性别分化易受发育环境的影响。向性成熟的泥鳅和大鳞副泥鳅个体注射绒毛膜促性腺激素,获得卵子和精子进行人工授精。把胚胎分别置于20℃、25℃和30℃条件下,使其发育。经性腺检查发现随着温度的升高两种泥鳅中雄性个体所占的比例明显升高,获得明显的偏雄比率群体。根据已知细胞色素P450芳香化酶CYP19 b基因序列设计嵌套简并引物用巢式PCR扩增并克隆出了两种泥鳅的CYP19 b的DNA片段。MaCYP19 b片段和Pd-CYP19 b片段分别长1337bp和1473bp。在此基础上用各自的特异引物克隆出两种泥鳅CYP19 b的相应cDNA片段。通过基因组DNA和cDNA序列的比较证明两种泥鳅的CYP19 b基因均包含三个内含子和四个外显子,编码的蛋白质序列长145氨基酸残基。以GAPDH基因为对照,分别对两种泥鳅成体组织和不同发育阶段的胚胎的CYP19 b进行了半定量RT-PCR表达分析,结果表明泥鳅CYP19 b基因只在成体泥鳅卵巢、肾以及原肠胚和神经胚中表达。大鳞副泥鳅CYP19 b基因在成体的脑、卵巢和肾以及神经胚和卵黄吸收期表达。这些结果为揭示细胞色素P450芳香化酶基因与环境性别决定机制的关系奠定了基础。
