Construction of a muscle cDNA library of Chinese shrimp <Emphasis Type="Italic">Fenneropenaeus chinensis</Emphasis> and sequence analysis of the troponin I gene

A muscle cDNA library of Chinese shrimp (Fenneropenaeus chinensis) was constructed with the SMART™ cDNA Library Construction Kit. The titer of optimal primary library was 7.7×10⁵ pfu mL⁻¹ and that of the amplified library was 3.0×10⁹ pfu mL⁻¹. The percentages of the recombinant clones of primary and amplified libraries were over 98%. The insert sizes were longer than 400 bp with an average of 1000 bp. A positive clone containing a 794 bp insert was sequenced and identified encoding fast skeletal troponin I gene. This library provided a useful resource for the functional genomic research of F. chinensis.     

Construction of a Muscle cDNA Library of Chinese Shrimp Fenneropenaeus chinensis and Sequence Analysis of the Troponin Ⅰ Gene

A muscle cDNA library of Chinese shrimp (Fenneropenaeus chinensis) was constructed with the SMARTTM cDNA Li- brary Construction Kit. The titer of optimal primary library was 7.7×105 pfu mL-1 and that of the amplified library was 3.0×109 pfu mL-1. The percentages of the recombinant clones of primary and amplified libraries were over 98%. The insert sizes were longer than 400 bp with an average of 1000 bp. A positive clone containing a 794 bp insert was sequenced and identified encoding fast skeletal troponin Ⅰ gene. This library provided a useful resource for the functional genomic research ofE chinensis.     

Cloning and analysis of phycoerythrin genes inGracilaria Lemaneiformis (Rhodophyceae)

Cloning and sequencing of the genes coding for the α- and β- subunit of phycoerythrin (PE) of a red alga—Gracilaria lemaneiformis (GL) are reported. Alignment of 1084 nucleotides sequenced with three known red algal PE genes,Rhodella violacea (RV),Polysiphonia boldii (PB) andAglaothamnion neglectum (AN), showed high level of conservation, and similarities of 77,6% (between GL and RV), 77.9% (GL and AN) and 79.0% (GL and PB). The similarities of amino acids were 84.8% (between GL and RV), 85.7% (GL and PB), and 80.6% (AN and GL), higher than those among nucleotides.

不同品系节旋藻cpcB基因上游序列的克隆与分析

采用体外克隆技术获得来自节旋藻6个品系的cpcB基因的257 bp的上游序列和217 bp的编码区序列,并和来自FACHB341的cpcB基因序列对应部分进行比较分析。结果表明,所获得的上游序列和编码区序列都有高度的保守性,而编码区所推导的氨基酸序列的保守性更高。启动子软件预测,在每一上游序列中都存在5条启动子序列,其中,FACHB439的启动子种类和结构与其他品系存在一定的差异。同时,FACHB439的翻译起始区mRNA二级结构与其他品系也有所不同。因此推测,在大多数品系节旋藻中藻蓝蛋白基因存在相同的表达调控机制,而品系FACHB439则可能存在一定程度的差异。

Searching for novel CYP members using cDNA library from a minke whale liver

The contaminant-induced cytochrome P450 (CYP) members in minke whale (Balaenoptera acutorostrata) can be potential biomarkers of the contaminant exposure and toxic effects. In this study, we constructed a cDNA library from the liver of minke whale from the North Pacific, and further screened a total of 6930 clones randomly selected in the library for the isolation of cDNA clones encoding novel members of CYP superfamily. The screening revealed the isolation of six novel CYP cDNA clones that are classified into CYP1A, CYP2C, CYP2E, CYP3A, CYP4, and CYP4A subfamilies. The BLAST homology search using the partial cDNA fragments of four CYP subfamilies (CYP1A, CYP2C, CYP2E and CYP4A) demonstrated that the minke whale CYPs were most closely related to pig CYPs (81-91%). Identification of multiple CYP genes in marine mammal species such as minke whale will provide new insights into the metabolic or toxicological functions of individual CYP members.
