-
摘要:目的
克隆龙眼Dimocarpus longan己糖激酶(Hexokinase, HXK)基因,并对其进行生物信息学分析及原核表达分析.
方法以龙眼总RNA为模板,采用RT-PCR结合RACE法获得基因全长cDNA序列,构建pET-32a-DlHXK原核表达载体,转化到大肠埃希菌Escherichia coli Rosetta (DE3)中诱导表达.
结果和结论成功克隆龙眼己糖激酶基因的cDNA全长序列,命名为DlHXK,登录号为KF776906.1.龙眼DlHXK序列全长2 101 bp,包括1个1 488 bp的开放阅读框,预测编码495个氨基酸;进化树和相似性分析发现,该基因与温州蜜柑Citrus unshiu的相似性最高,达到了82%;荧光定量表达分析表明,DlHXK基因随着果实的发育成熟表达量逐渐上升;经IPTG诱导和SDS-PAGE检测,所构建的原核表达载体表达的融合蛋白与预期蛋白大小相吻合.由此可见,利用RT-PCR结合RACE方法成功克隆了龙眼的己糖激酶基因,构建原核表达载体,并在大肠埃希菌Rosetta (DE3)中获得高效表达.
Abstract:ObjectiveHexokinase gene (named DlHXK) was cloned from longan, Dimocarpus longan cv. Shixia, fruit. The bioinformatics and prokaryotic expression of DlHXK were analyzed.
MethodTotal RNA extracted from longan fruit was used as a template. The full length cDNA of the gene was cloned using a combination of RT-PCR and RACE-PCR. Prokaryotic expression vector pET-32a-DlHXK was constructed and transformed into Escherichia coli Rosetta (DE3) to induce expression.
Result and conclusionThe full length cDNA of DlHXK was cloned and its NCBI GeneBank accession number was KF776906.1, which has 2 101 bp nucleotides including a 1 488 bp ORF. It was predicted to encode 495 amino acids. It had the highest homology with the Citrus unshiu (82%) through the NCBI and evolutionary tree analysis. The results of quantitative RT-PCR showed that DlHXK gene expression increased gradually during the longan fruit maturation. Induced by IPTG and determinated by SDS-PAGE, the inducing expressed recombinant protein from prokaryotic expression vector was consistent with the putative protein of DlHXK. Therefore, the full length of DlHXK has been cloned and its prokaryotic expression vector has been constructed successfully. It was induced to express effectively in E. coli Rosetta (DE3).
