两种泥鳅中Sox基因的检出(英文)

性别决定基因ＳＲＹ都具有一个高度保守的基因序列──ＨＭＧ－ｂｏｘ，编码Ｓｏｘ蛋白，在胚胎发育过程中起重要作用。本文利用两种引物检测了泥鳅和大鳞副泥鳅的Ｓｏｘ基因。第一对引物特异扩增人类ＳＲＹ基因的保守区。在扩增泥鳅的基因组ＤＮＡ时可见长度分别为２００、５５０、９４０和１０００ｂｐ的四条扩增带。在大鳞副泥鳅中可以扩增出２００、５５０、９００ｂｐ三条带（Ｆｉｇ．１）。Ｓｏｕｔｈｅｒｎ杂交表明２００和５５０ｂｐ两条带可以和ＳＲＹ基因探针杂交（Ｆｉｇ．２）。第二对引物是兼并引物，可以特异扩增Ｓｏｘ基因的ＨＭＧ－ｂｏｘ区域。以基因组ＤＮＡ为模板可以在大鳞副泥鳅中扩增出２２０、５５０、７００和１５００ｂｐ四条带（Ｆｉｇ．３）；而在泥鳅中则为２２０、５３０、５７０和１５００ｂｐ四条带（Ｆｉｇ．４）。ＰＣＲ产物的长度差异被认为是由于部分Ｓｏｘ基因的ＨＭＧ－ｂｏｘ区域中存在着内含子。没有发现性别特异扩增带。以上结果说明哺乳动物与性决定有关的组分在脊椎动物中是广泛存在的。但这些组分在鱼类中是否与性决定有关，或仅是哺乳动物性决定因子的进化前体尚不得而知。无论如何广泛深入研究鱼类的Ｓｏｘ基因对于揭示性决定系统和因子的进化方式是十分

Detection of Sox Genes in Two Kinds of Loaches

The Sox genes of Misgurnus auguillicaudatus and Paramisgurnus dabryanuswere detected by PCR with two primer sets. The first primer set was specific to theconservative motif of human SRY gene. Four bands of 200, 550, 940 and 1 000 hp andthree bands of 200, 550 and 900 bp were presented in the PCR products of M.Auguillicaudatus and P. Dabryanas, respectively. Results from Southern blottingindicated that the 200 and 550bp bands are positive. This study also used thedegenerate primer within the HMG-box. With the genomic DNA as template, fourbands were observed with the lengths of 220, 550, 700 and 1500 bp in P. Dabryanus; butfour bands of 220, 530, 570 and 1500hp in M. Auguillicaudatus. It is suggested that thelength divergence in PCR products were due to different sizes of nitrons in the HMG boxes. In addition no sex-specific band was found in these two species.
