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

Peroxiredoxin is a superfamily of antioxidative proteins that play important roles in protecting organisms against the toxicity of reactive oxygen species. In this study, a full-length of peroxiredoxin 5 (designated EcPrx5) cDNA was cloned from the ridgetail white prawn Exopalaemon carinicauda by using rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) approaches. The full-length cDNA of the EcPrx5 was of 827 bp, containing a 5′ untranslated region (UTR) of 14 bp, a 3′ UTR of 228 bp with a poly (A) tail, and an open reading frame of 585 bp encoding a polypeptide of 194 amino acids with the predicted molecular weight of 20.83 kDa and estimated isoelectric point of 7.62. BLAST analysis revealed that amino acids of EcPrx5 shared 89, 68, 66, 65, 53 and 51 % identity with that of Macrobrachium rosenbergii, Megachile rotundata, Harpegnathos saltator, Acromyrmex echinatior, Danio rerio, and Homo sapiens counterparts, respectively. The conserved Prx domain and the signature of peroxiredoxin catalytic center identified in EcPrx5 suggested that EcPrx5 belonged to the atypical 2-Cys Prx subgroup. Real time quantitative RT-PCR analysis indicated that EcPrx5 could be detected in all the tested tissues with highest expression level in hepatopancreas. As time progressed, the expression level of EcPrx5 both in hemocytes and hepatopancreas increased in the first 6 h after Vibrio anguillarum and white spot syndrome virus challenge, and showed different expression profiles. The results indicated that EcPrx5 involved in immune response against bacterial and viral infection in E. carinicauda. 相似文献

Ring box protein-1 (RBX1), also called Regulator of Cullins-1 (ROC1), is a key component of SCF (Skp-1, cullins, F-box proteins) E3 ubiquitin ligases, which regulate diverse cellular processes by targeting protein substrates for degradation. Although RBX1 plays an important role in ubiquitination machinery of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, studies on the RBX1 have not been involved in the unicellular green alga Dunaliella salina. In this study, a full-length RBX1 cDNA fragment of 817 bp was cloned using rapid amplification of cDNA end (RACE) technique. The full-length sequence contained an open reading frame of 411 bp encoding 136 amino acids. The predicted protein had a molecular molar mass of 14.8 kDa and pI of 5.9 with a high degree of homology to RBX1 from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (92 %). Recombinant RBX1 was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 and was purified and characterized. The apparent molecular mass of the recombinant protein was approximately 17 kDa, and the optimal induction time and concentration were 3 h and 0.1 mmol/L IPTG, respectively. The predicted 3D structures of RBX1 proteins contained RING-H2 finger domain including “Cys59-X2-Cys62-X30-Cys93-X1-His95-X2-His98-X2-Cys101-X10-Cys112-X2-Cys115.” The expression of RBX1 protein was increased by 132 % during flagellar disassembly and decreased by 76 % during flagellar assembly of D. salina. The expression of RBX1 mRNA had a similar tendency with the expression of RBX1 protein. The results indicated that RBX1 responded to flagellar disassembly of D. salina. 相似文献

A xylanase gene (xynZF-2) from the Aspergillus niger XZ-3S was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The coding region of the gene was separated by only one intron with the 68 bp in length. It encoded 225 amino acid residues of a protein with a calculated molecular weight of 24.04 kDa plus a signal peptide of 18 amino acids. The amino acid sequence of the xynZF-2 gene had a high similarity with those of family 11 of glycosyl hydrolases reported from other microorganisms. The mature peptide encoding cDNA was subcloned into pET-28a(+) expression vector. The resultant recombinant plasmid pET-28a-xynZF-2 was transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3), and finally the recombinant strain BL21/xynZF-2 was obtained. A maximum activity of 42.33 U/mg was gained from cellular of E. coli BL21/xynZF-2 induced by IPTG. The optimum temperature and pH for recombinant enzyme which has a good stability in alkaline conditions were 40 °C and 5.0, respectively. Fe3+ had an active effect on the enzyme obviously. 相似文献

By using EST database from a full-length cDNA library of Curvularia lunata, we have isolated a 2.9 kb cDNA, termed PKAr. An ORF of 1,383 bp encoding a polypeptide of 460 amino acids with molecular weight 50.1 kDa, (GeneBank Acc. No. KF675744) was cloned. The deduced amino acid sequence of the PKAr shows 90 and 88 % identity with cAMP-dependent protein kinase A regulatory subunit from Alternaria alternate and Pyrenophora tritici-repentis Pt-1C-BFP, respectively. Database analysis revealed that the deduced amino acid sequence of PKAr shares considerable similarity with that of PKA regulatory subunits in other organisms, particularly in the conserved regions. No introns were identified within the 1,383 bp of ORF compared with PKAr genomic DNA sequence. Southern blot indicated that PKAr existed as a single copy per genome. The mRNA expression level of PKAr in different development stages were demonstrated using real-time quantitative PCR. The results showed that the level of PKAr expression was highest in vegetative growth mycelium, which indicated it might play an important role in the vegetative growth of C. lunata. These results provided a fundamental supporting research on the function of PKAr in plant pathogen, C. lunata. 相似文献

Inhibitor of growth protein 3 (ING3), a new member of ING family, is involved in the regulation of various processes. In this study, a full-length cDNA of ING3 (named as RpING3) was cloned from the gill of Ruditapes philippinarum by rapid amplification of cDNA ends method for the first time. The cDNA obtained was 1442 bp exclusive of poly (A) residues with a 1248 bp open reading frame encoding 415 amino acids. The RpING3 protein has a calculated molecular weight of 46.59 kDa and isoelectric point of 6.62. Two conserved motif and some functional sites were found. Tissue distribution analysis of the RpING3 mRNA revealed that the RpING3 expression level was much higher in gill and digestive gland while lower in mantle, foot and adductor muscle. The temporal expression of RpING3 in digestive gland after lead exposure was recorded by quantitative real-time PCR. The result showed that RpING3 was rapidly up-regulated at 6 h post-exposure and reached tenfold of the control group. These results suggest that RpING3 dependent signaling pathway is present in Manila clam and RpING3 may play important roles in protecting cells from heavy metal damage in R. philippinarum. 相似文献

Elongator proteins comprise six subunits (ELP1–ELP6) and form protein complexes. The elongator protein 2 gene (elp2) encodes a protein with a WD40 repeats domain that acts as a scaffold for complex assembly. It also plays an important role in growth and development. In this study, the full-length cDNA of elongator protein 2 (Ajelp2) was cloned from the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus (A. japonicus) using rapid amplification of cDNA ends PCR techniques and comprised 3,058 bp, including a 54 bp 5′ untranslated (UTR), a 526 bp 3′ UTR and a 2,478 bp open reading frame encoding a polypeptide of 825 amino acids. The Ajelp2 sequence showed high homology to 12 other species. The molecular weight and isoelectric of point the presumptive protein were 91.6 kDa and 5.84, respectively. In situ hybridization indicated that the gene is expressed in the body wall, intestine, respiratory tree and longitudinal muscle. The expression level of Ajelp2 increased in recovering of organs in sea cucumber and showed it’s the highest expression level at the 15th day in the intestine and respiratory tree. Its expression then gradually decreased to normal levels. In the body wall, the expression level of Ajelp2 was up-regulated and then down-regulated. These results indicated that Ajelp2 is involved in protein regulation during the regeneration process in the sea cucumber A. japonicus. 相似文献

GTP-binding proteins such as Ras act as molecular switches in a large number of signal pathways. In this report, we isolated and characterized a novel Ras small monomeric GTPase Rsr1 gene, designated PmRsr1, from yeast-form Penicillium marneffei. The full-length PmRsr1 cDNA sequence is 1,866 bp in size, and contains an open reading frame of 642 bp encoding 213 amino acids. The predicted molecular mass of PmRsr1 is 24.41 kDa with an estimated theoretical isoelectric point of 9.21. The deduced amino acid sequence of PmRsr1 shows 87% identity with that of Aspergillus fumigatus and A. clavatus. Eight exons and seven introns are identified within the 2,102 bp PmRsr1 genomic DNA sequence of P. marneffei. The open reading frame was subcloned into the pcDNA6-myc-His B expression vector, and the recombinant plasmid was transfected into Vero cell line. The expressed fusion protein was analyzed by SDS-PAGE and western blotting. Differential expression of the PmRsr1 was demonstrated by real-time RT-PCR. The expression of PmRsr1 was the highest in the yeast phase comparing with that in the mycelia and conidia phases. 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

The genes of the mitochondrial and cytosolic malate dehydrogenase (mMDH and cMDH) of Phytophthora infestans were cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli as active enzymes. The catalytic properties of these proteins were determined: both enzymes have a similar specific activity. In addition, the natural mitochondrial isoenzyme was semi-purified from mycelia and its catalytic properties determined: the recombinant mitochondrial isoform behaved as the natural enzyme. A phylogenetic analysis indicated that mMDH, present in all stramenopiles studied, can be useful to study the relationships between these organisms. MDH with the conserved domain MDH_cytoplasmic_cytosolic is absent in some stramenopiles as well as in fungi. This enzyme seems to be less related within the stramenopile group. The Phytophthora cMDHs have an insertion of six amino acids that is also present in the stramenopile cMDHs studied, with the exception of Thalassiosira pseudonana cMDH, and is absent in other known eukaryotic cMDHs. 相似文献

Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is a highly conserved molecular chaperone that plays key roles in the folding, maintenance of structural integrity, and regulation of a subset of cytosolic proteins. In this study, the cDNA of Haematococcus pluvialis HSP90 (designated HpHSP90) was cloned by the combination of homology cloning and rapid amplification of cDNA ends approaches. The full-length cDNA of HpHSP90 was of 2,606 bp, including an open reading frame of 2,109 bp encoding a polypeptide of 702 amino acids with predicted molecular weight of 80.14 kDa and theoretical isoelectric point of 5.07. BLAST analysis revealed that HpHSP90 shared high similarity with other known HSP90s, and the five conserved amino acid blocks defined as HSP90 protein family signatures were also identified in HpHSP90, which indicated that HpHSP90 should be a cytosolic member of the HSP90 family. Under different stress conditions, messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels of HpHSP90 were quantified by quantitative RT-PCR. To H. pluvialis kept at different temperatures for 1 h, maximum HpHSP90 expression was observed in the range 5 to 10°C and 35 to 40°C and the expression level of HpHSP90 at 40°C was the highest (threefold compared with that at 25°C). In H. pluvialis kept at 35°C for different times, the mRNA expression level of HpHSP90 reached a maximum level after 7 h and then dropped progressively. The results indicate that HpHSP90 responded to cold and heat stresses with a temperature-dependent expression pattern as well as exposure time effect and could be used as a molecular biomarker in adverse stress environment. 相似文献
