IFIT 家族由一类受干扰素诱导表达并具有TPR 结构域的蛋白组成, 但是在鱼类关于IFIT 基因的研究还很少。研究利用哺乳类IFIT 家族基因IFI56 的序列搜索斑马鱼基因组数据库鉴定出一个未知基因, 该基因具有哺乳类IFIT 家族保守的基因组结构, 编码蛋白具有保守的TPR 结构域, 暂命名为IFIT-A。RT-PCR 分析表明, Poly I:C 能够诱导IFIT-A 基因转录水平上调。与哺乳类IFIT 家族基因相似, 斑马鱼IFIT-A 启动子存在ISG 基因特有的典型ISRE 结构域。荧光素酶活性实验揭示Poly I:C 和重组IFN 蛋白能激活斑马鱼IFIT-A 启动子活性。此外, 过量表达IFN 调控因子IRF3 和IRF7 能诱导斑马鱼IFIT-A 启动子活性。实验结果证明IFIT-A基因是斑马鱼IFIT 家族成员, IRF3 和IRF7 在其诱导表中具有重要调控作用。    相似文献

旨在更深入和广泛了解脊椎动物NMS前体基因的结构、进化和生理功能,利用生物信息学和分子生物学技术从斑马鱼脑组织中克隆得到了NMS前体基因序列,并对其基因和蛋白结构以及组织表达等方面进行了分析。结果表明,斑马鱼NMS前体基因cDNA序列编码110个氨基酸组成的多肽,其中包含22个氨基酸的信号肽。脊椎动物NMS前体蛋白序列比对结果显示,与哺乳动物不同,硬骨鱼类NMS前体蛋白在C端缺失很大一部分序列,不能形成类似哺乳动物的NMS成熟肽,经蛋白酶切割可能形成同源性较高的34个氨基酸的多肽。进化树和基因组分析显示,斑马鱼和青NMS前体蛋白聚类在一起,位于NMS这一分支上。同时,NMS前体基因在斑马鱼、青和人基因组中具有同线性关系。半定量RT-PCR结果显示,NMS前体基因在所检测的斑马鱼各组织中均有表达,其中以脑中表达量为最高。  相似文献

斑马鱼窖蛋白-1基因cDNA克隆及功能初步研究   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
窖蛋白-1(Cav-1)是胞膜窖的主要结构蛋白, 可与多种信号分子相互作用, 调节细胞的增殖、分化和凋亡, 其异常表达与多种人体疾病的发生和发展密切相关, 而在斑马鱼发育中的功能尚不很清楚。研究克隆出斑马鱼窖蛋白-1基因两个亚型的全长cDNA, 与其他物种窖蛋白-1的氨基酸序列进行比较, 发现该蛋白在脊椎动物中非常保守。利用逆转录多聚酶链反应检测发现, 在斑马鱼多个成年组织中窖蛋白-1的两个亚型均有转录表达。利用胚胎整体原位杂交检测组织或器官特异基因的时空表达变化发现, 过表达或利用Morpholino反义寡聚核苷酸(MO)抑制cav-1α的表达可影响脊索和体节的发育, 而过表达或MO抑制cav-1β可导致肝脏发育的异常;此外, 过表达或MO抑制cav-1α或-1β均可影响斑马鱼神经系统的发育。因此, 斑马鱼Cav-1在维持组织器官的生理功能和调控胚胎的正常发育中起着重要作用。    相似文献

在鱼类中关于转化生长因子β-激活激酶1(TAK1)在天然免疫反应中的功能研究较少。为了探究TAK1在斑马鱼天然免疫中的功能,本文克隆并获得了一种斑马鱼tak1剪接异构体(Drtak1),其开放阅读框含有1737个核苷酸,编码578个氨基酸,其中包括N端的丝氨酸/苏氨酸蛋白激酶结构域和C端的卷曲螺旋结构部。通过免疫荧光试验,证实DrTAK1是一种胞质蛋白。双荧光素酶报告试验显现在EPC细胞中单转DrTAK1不能诱导IFN的产生,但与IRF7共转时能显著提高其诱导干扰素启动子表达的能力。本文研究结果首次在斑马鱼中发现TAK1能正向调控IRF7介导的天然免疫反应,为后续DrTAK1功能研究奠定了基础。  相似文献

The brain morphology of vertebrates exhibits huge evolutionary diversity, but one of the shared morphological features unique to vertebrate brain is laminar organization of neurons. Because the Reelin signal plays important roles in the development of the laminar structures in mammalian brain, investigation of Reelin signal in lower vertebrates will give some insights into evolution of vertebrate brain morphogenesis. Although zebrafish homologues of Reelin, the ligand, and Dab1, a cytoplasmic component of the signaling pathway, have been reported, the Reelin receptor molecules of zebrafish are not reported yet. Here, we sought cDNA sequence of zebrafish homologue of the receptors, vldlr and apoer2, and examined their expression patterns by in situ hybridization. Developmental gene expression pattern of reelin, dab1, vldlr, and apoer2 in the central nervous system of zebrafish was compared, and their remarkable expression was detected in the developing laminar structures, such as the tectum and the cerebellum, and also non-laminated structures, such as the pallium. The Reelin receptors exhibited different spatial and temporal gene expression. These results suggest a possibility that duplication and subsequent functional diversity of Reelin receptors contributed to the morphological and functional evolution of vertebrate brain.  相似文献

An understanding of the origin of different body plans requires knowledge of how the genes and genetic pathways that control embryonic development have evolved. The Hox genes provide an appealing starting point for such studies because they play a well-understood causal role in the regionalization of the body plan of all bilaterally symmetric animals. Vertebrate evolution has been characterized by gene, and possibly genome, duplication events, which are believed to have provided raw genetic material for selection to act upon. It has recently been established that the Hox gene organization of ray-finned fishes, such as the zebrafish, differs dramatically from that of their lobe-finned relatives, a group that includes humans and all the other widely used vertebrate model systems. This unusual Hox gene organization of zebrafish is the result of a duplication event within the ray-finned fish lineage. Thus, teleosts, such as zebrafish, have more Hox genes arrayed over more clusters (or "complexes") than do tetrapod vertebrates. Here, I review our understanding of Hox cluster architecture in different vertebrates and consider the implications of gene duplication for Hox gene regulation and function and the evolution of different body plans.  相似文献

Hundreds of gene families expanded in the early vertebrate tetraploidizations including many gene families in the phototransduction cascade. We have investigated the evolution of the heterotrimeric G-proteins of photoreceptors, the transducins, in relation to these events using both phylogenetic analyses and synteny comparisons. Three alpha subunit genes were identified in amniotes and the coelacanth, GNAT1-3; two of these were identified in amphibians and teleost fish, GNAT1 and GNAT2. Most tetrapods have four beta genes, GNB1-4, and teleosts have additional duplicates. Finally, three gamma genes were identified in mammals, GNGT1, GNG11 and GNGT2. Of these, GNGT1 and GNGT2 were found in the other vertebrates. In frog and zebrafish additional duplicates of GNGT2 were identified. Our analyses show all three transducin families expanded during the early vertebrate tetraploidizations and the beta and gamma families gained additional copies in the teleost-specific genome duplication. This suggests that the tetraploidizations contributed to visual specialisations.  相似文献

Summary During the last decade, zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) have emerged as a novel and attractive system to study embryogenesis and organogenesis in vertebrates. The main reason is that both extensive genetic studies and detailed embryologic analysis are possible using this small tropical fresh water teleost. However, in vitro analysis using cell culture or molecular genetics are still far less advanced than in other vertebrate systems. Here we report the generation and characterization of a fibroblast like cell line, ZF4, derived from 1-day-old zebrafish embryos. The hyperploid cell line has been stable in multiple passages for more than 2 yr now and is the first zebrafish cell line that can be maintained in conventional medium containing mammalian serum. Using a series of plasmids for expression of a marker gene, we evaluate in ZF4 cells the relative strength of expression from several different viral, fish, and mammalian promoters. Stable integration can be obtained by using G418 selection. We hope that our cell line will be a useful tool for the analysis of gene regulation in zebrafish.  相似文献
