摘要: 旨在研究黄鳝转铁蛋白受体1基因的功能及其组织表达特异性,采用同源克隆结合RACE技术从黄鳝肝脏中分离其转铁蛋白受体1基因,用生物信息学方法对获得的氨基酸序列进行分析,用半定量RT-PCR技术研究各组织中TfR1表达水平。结果表明,克隆获得黄鳝TfR1,GenBank注册序列号为KF819396。该cDNA全长2 839 bp,5' UTR长134 bp,3' UTR长380 bp,编码一个长774个氨基酸的多肽链。氨基酸多序列比对结果表明,黄鳝TfR1基因推断的氨基酸序列同其他鱼类的同源性较高,达55.68%-68.41%;而同哺乳动物的TfR1基因同源性较低。半定量RT-PCR分析表明,黄鳝TfR1基因转录本在不同组织表达量有明显差异;在血细胞中表达量最高,而在肾脏、脾脏和小肠中表达中等,在肝脏、胃、皮肤、脑、心脏和肌肉中表达量很低。

Abstract: For investigating the function and tissue expression specificity of transferrin receptor 1 gene(TfR1)from swamp eel, TfR1 gene was isolated from the liver of swamp eel using homologous cloning and RACE techniques, the bioinformatics method was used to analyze the putative amino acid sequence, and semi-quantitative RT-PCR was used to study the expression of TfR1 gene in different tissues. The results showed that the full length of cDNA(GenBank accession number:KF819396)was 2 839 bp including a 134 bp 5' un-translated region(UTR)and a 380 bp 3' UTR, and it encoded a polypeptide of 774 amino acids. Sequence alignment by amino acid indicated that the inferred amino acid sequence of TfR1 from swamp eel shared high identity with those of other teleosts in 55.68%-68.41%. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR analyses demonstrated that the TfR1 transcripts were significantly varied in different tissues, the highest in blood cells, moderate in kidney, spleen and intestine, and little in liver, stomach, skin, brain, heart and muscle.
