Molecular cloning and characterization of alpha-class glutathione S-transferase gene from the liver of silver carp, bighead carp, and other major Chinese freshwater fishes

Two full-length cDNAs encoding glutathione S-transferase (GST) were cloned and sequenced from the hepatopancreas of planktivorous silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis). The silver carp and bighead carp GST cDNA were 920 and 978 bp in length, respectively, and both contained an open reading frame that encoding 223 amino acids. Partial GST cDNA sequences were also obtained from the liver of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus), crucian carp (Carassius auratu), mud carp (Cirrhinus molitorella), and tilapia (Oreochromis nilotica). All these GSTs could be classified as alpha-class GSTs on the basis of their amino acid sequence identity with other species. The three-dimensional structure of the silver carp GST was predicted using a computer program, and was found to fit the classical two-domain GST structure. Using the genome walker method, a 875-bp 5'-flanking region of the silver carp GST gene was obtained, and several lipopolysaccharide (LPS) response elements were identified in the promoter region of the phytoplanktivorous fish GST gene, indicating that the GST gene expression of this fish might be regulated by LPS, released from the toxic blue-green algae producing microcystins. To compare the constitutive expression level of the liver GST gene among the six freshwater fishes with completely different tolerance to microcystins, beta-actin was used as control and the ratio GST/beta-actin mRNA (%) was determined as 130.7 +/- 6.6 (grass carp), 103.1 +/- 8.9 (bighead carp), 92.6 +/- 15.0 (crucian carp), 72.3 +/- 7.8 (mud carp), 58.8 +/- 11.5 (silver carp), and 33.6 +/- 13.7 (tilapia). The constitutive expression level of the liver GST gene clearly shows that all the six freshwater fishes had a negative relationship with their tolerance to microcystins: high-resistant fishes (phytoplanktivorous silver carp and tilapia) had the lowest tolerance to microcystins and the high-sensitive fish (herbivorous grass carp) had the highest tolerance to microcystins. Taken together with the reciprocal relationship of constitutive and inducible liver GST expression level in some of the tested fish species to microcystin exposure, a molecular mechanism for different microcystin detoxification abilities of the warm freshwater fishes was discussed.     

淡水鱼类微囊藻毒素去毒酶基因的克隆

微囊藻毒素去毒酶在鱼类微囊藻毒素去毒过程中起着关键作用,研究成功克隆鲢鱼、鳙鱼、草鱼、鲫鱼、鳜鱼、罗非鱼等淡水鱼类微囊藻毒素去毒酶基因cDNA核心片段而首次获得这些淡水鱼类微囊藻毒素去毒酶氨基酸序列。鲢鱼、鳙鱼、草鱼、鲫鱼、鳜鱼、罗非鱼微囊藻毒素去毒酶基因与人、小鼠、大鼠、牛、猪、羊的谷胱甘肽S-转移酶基因氨基酸同源性为60%左右,表明淡水鱼类微囊藻毒素去毒酶基因在进化上变异性较大,与其承担微囊藻毒素去毒代谢之特殊功能相适应。

研究采用Illumina高通量测序技术对鲢(Hypophthalmichthys molitrix)卵组织进行转录组测序分析, 筛选多态EST-SSR标记并与生长性状进行关联性分析。研究结果显示: (1)测序组装总Unigene 77129个, SSR共24458个, 占所测EST数据的31.7%。鲢包含SSR的EST序列主要有二碱基、三碱基、四碱基和五碱基组成。二碱基中, AC含量最丰富; (2)随机挑选175条EST序列设计SSR引物, 筛选出多态EST-SSR标记36个, Blast结果显示有10条已知基因功能; (3)全同胞家系检测结果显示有两个标记与鲢的生长性状相关。SCE26与体长和体重显著相关(P<0.05), SCE65与肥满度显著相关(P<0.05)。研究结果将为鲢的分子标记辅助育种的应用提供基础理论指导。     

三种室内饲养鱼类肠道微生物群落PCR-DGGE指纹分析

以室内饲养的斑点叉尾(Ictalurus punctatus)、银鲫和异育银鲫(中科三号)(Carassius auratus gibelio)幼鱼为对象,通过PCR-DGGE指纹技术对其肠道微生物群落进行了探索研究。在三种鱼的肠道中检测到不同的PCR-DGGE指纹谱带,其中斑点叉尾的平均谱带数(7.5)相对于银鲫和异育银鲫的谱带数(分别为15和14)要少。基于PCR-DGGE指纹谱带及各谱带相对丰度的UPGMA聚类和MDS排序结果显示银鲫和异育银鲫肠道微生物相似性高,而与斑点叉尾的差异比较大;rank-abundance散点图及回归分析也显示斑点叉尾与银鲫、异育银鲫肠道微生物群落存在显著差异(P0.05),而银鲫和异育银鲫之间无显著差异(P=0.383)。在斑点叉尾肠道中检测到的菌群主要是变形杆菌,包括-变形杆菌和-变形杆菌;而银鲫和异育银鲫肠道中菌群主要包括梭杆菌属中的类群,还包括变形杆菌门中的气单胞菌属,以及一些未知的类群。以上结果均表明在所研究的三种鱼的幼鱼阶段,其肠道微生物组成在不同种类鱼中存在差异,且该差异受基因型的影响可能更大。       

Swimming performance of adult bighead carp Hypophthalmichthys nobilis (Richardson, 1845) and silver carp H. molitrix (Valenciennes, 1844)

Although the movement of invasive bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) and silver carp (H. molitrix) in the Upper Mississippi River system is dependent on their ability to swim through its numerous lock‐and‐dams, the swimming performance of adults of these species is at present unknown. Using a large (2,935‐L) mobile swim tunnel, the swimming performance of adult bighead and adult silver carp was quantified at water velocities that challenged them to exhibit either prolonged and/or burst swimming (76–244 cm/s) with fatigue times of less than 10 min. Simple log‐linear models best described the relative swim speed to fatigue relationships for both species. Under these conditions, the swimming performances of adult bighead and silver carp were similar to several species of adult fishes native to the Mississippi River system, but relatively low (<3 total body lengths per second, TL/s) compared to previously studied juveniles and sub‐adult bigheaded carps (3–15 TL/s). The decline in endurance with water velocity was three times greater in bighead carp (slope = ?2.98) than in silver carp (slope = ?1.01) and the predictive ability of the bighead model was appreciably better than the silver carp model. The differences in adult swimming performance between the two species were coincident with behavioral differences (e.g. breaching in silver carp but not in bighead carp). The swimming performance data of adult bighead and silver carp can now be used to evaluate whether their passage through manmade river structures including the gates of lock‐and‐dams in the Upper Mississippi River might be reduced.
