玫瑰红绿海葵触手cDNA表达文库的构建和初步分析

海葵共有 10 0 0多种 ,栖息于世界各地的海洋中 ,从极地到热带、从潮间带到深海都有分布 ,我国地处温带和亚热带 ,海葵种类较多1 ] 。海葵的单体呈圆柱状 ,柱体开口端为口盘 ,口盘周围环生众多触手 ,触手上有被称为刺丝囊的毒腺结构 ,能分泌毒液 ;柱体下端为基盘 ,海葵以其基盘吸附于甲壳、海藻等物体上 ,较少运动。海葵毒液成分主要是蛋白质和多肽 ,它们对甲壳类动物有较大毒性 ,对人或其它高等动物的毒性则相对较小。现代研究表明 ,海葵多肽毒素有多种药理效果 ,这些毒素主要作用于神经及心血管系统 ,可引起强心、降低血压、麻痹肌肉等多…

The Construction of cDNA Expression Library from the Tentacles of Sagartia rosea

A cDNA expression library of the tentacles of Sagartia rosea was constructed. The cDNA was cloned into eukaryotical expression plasmid pcDNA3. SMART TM protocol was used for cDNA library construction and bioinformatics analysis was carried out. 71 novel EST clones were obtained from 130 sequences in the library, of which there were 21 full-length clones, including cytolysin genes, flourescent protein, ubiquinol-cytochrome C reductase gene, elongation factor, ferritin gene riboflavin kinase gene, ribosomal protein. This provides a base for further investigating their biological activity and application.
