大黄鱼肌肉组织cDNA全长文库的构建及EST分析

以大黄鱼肌肉组织为材料,利用Creator Smart cDNA Library Construction Kit构建了大黄鱼肌肉组织的全长cDNA文库.文库质量分析表明：cDNA文库容量不低于1.68×106cfu/mm3,重组率达96%,插入片断的平均长度大于1 000bp.随机挑取512个cDNA克隆进行5’端测序,其中430条ESTs的长度大于100bp;并初步拼接得到了230个单基因簇（unigene）,其中包括58个重叠群（contigs）,172个单拷贝ESTs（singletons）,冗余度为46.51%.经检索,35个ESTs在BLASTx上无明显的同源性（E值≤1.00×10-10）,为新基因.195个ESTs与已报道的基因有较高的同源性;其中与能量相关基因的ESTs丰度最高,占总数的20.00%.蛋白质合成、细胞骨架和信号传导次之,比例分别为13.48%、12.17%、10.00%,其中包括高迁移率族蛋白B1、瘦素受体、β1-热激蛋白等.这些EST数据为进一步筛选和克隆大黄鱼肌肉特异性表达基因提供了平台.

Existence of Microsatellites in Expressed Sequence Tags of Common Carp （Cyprinus carpio L. ） Available in GenBank dbEST Database

Common carp expressed sequence tags （ESTs） were analyzed for the existence of microsatellites, or simple sequence repeats （SSRs）. In the NCBI dbEST database, a total of 10612 sequences were registered before December 31, 2004. A complete search of 2-6 nucleotide microsatellites resulted in the identification of 513 SSR-containing ESTs, accounting for 4.8% of the total. Cluster analysis indicated that 73 sequences of SSR-containing ESTs fell into 27 groups and the remaining 440 ESTs were independent. A total of 467 unique SSR-containing ESTs were identified. These EST-SSRs contained a vari- ety of simple sequence types, and di- and tri-nucleotide repeats were the most abundant, accounting for 42.1% and 27.9% of the whole, respectively. Of the dinucleotide repeats, CA/TG was the most abundant, followed by GA/TC. BLASTx search showed that 38.1% of the SSR loci could be associated with genes or proteins of known or unknown function. BLASTx searches of SSR-containing ESTs also showed high frequencies （98/179） of hits on zebrafish sequences.     

Generation and analysis of expressed sequence tags from the salt-tolerant eelgrass species, Zostera marina

Zosteramarina, a monocotyledonous angiosperm, is one of themost important seagrass species. To investigate the salt-tolerancemechanismand discover salt-tolerant genes in Z. marina, a cDNA library was constructed. Single-pass sequencing of the 5' ends of 4 081 clones yielded 4 002 high quality expressed sequence tags (ESTs), which were assembled into 241 contigs and 1 673 singletons, representing 1 914 unigenes. The average length of the ESTs was 582 bp, with sizes ranging from100-1 500 bp. Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLASTX) analysis revealed that 1 664 unigenes had significant homology to known genes in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) non-redundant (nr) database (E-value≤5-10). Among them, the twomost abundant genes encoded metallothionein (157 ESTs) and chlorophyll a/b-binding protein (38 ESTs), accounting for 7.1% and 1.7% of the total ESTs, respectively. Using Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG), 1 462 unigeneswere assigned to 1 161 pathways (E-value≤5-10). A total of 938 unigenes were assigned Gene Ontology (GO) terms based on the GO hierarchy analysis, and InterProScan searches recognized 1 003 InterPro families. Three genes formetallothionein in Z. marina that belonged to Class II was identified. Results of this study will improve understanding of the molecular mechanisms of saline tolerance in Z.marina.
