摘要:

【目的】Phomeroids为分离自海洋真菌Phomopsis tersa FS441的聚酮杂萜类新骨架化合物,具有良好的抗肿瘤活性。为便于后期对phomeroids生物合成关键基因萜类环化酶编码基因ctg1509和P450单加氧酶编码基因ctg1511进行转录调控,对其启动子功能进行鉴定。【方法】对海洋真菌P. tersa FS441中ctg1509ctg1511基因启动子p1509p1511进行克隆,用荧光素酶报告基因载体分析启动子的转录活性,并进一步采用点板实验和生长曲线鉴定其在大肠杆菌中启动氨苄青霉素抗性基因转录的功能,采用PlantCARE数据库分析启动子的调控元件。【结果】p1509的启动子转录活性最强,其活性远强于阳性对照PgpdA启动子,p1509p1511能在大肠杆菌中启动氨苄青霉素抗性基因的转录。p1509p1511启动子区域除了含有CAAT-box、TATA-box核心元件,还有参与低温响应、光响应等顺式调控元件。【结论】验证了启动子p1509p1511的功能。发掘了一个转录活性强于阳性对照的新型强启动子p1509,该启动子含有丰富的调控元件。

Abstract:

【Objective】 Phomeroids are novel skeleton polyketide meroterpenoids isolated from the marine fungus Phomopsis tersa FS441, demonstrating promising anti-tumor activity. To facilitate the transcriptional regulation of the crucial genes for the biosynthesis of phomeroids, including the terpene cyclase gene ctg1509 and the P450 monooxygenase gene ctg1511, the functions for the promoters of these two genes were identified in this study.【Method】 This study cloned the promoter p1509 and p1511 of ctg1509 and ctg1511 genes in marine fungus P. tersa FS441. The transcriptional activities of the p1509 and p1511 promoters were validated using luciferase reporter gene vectors, the plate experiment and the growth curve were employed to identify the function of the two promoters. Moreover, PlantCARE database was used to analyze the regulatory elements of the promoter. 【Result】 The promoter of p1509 has the strongest transcriptional activity, which is stronger than the positive promoter PgpdA. p1509 and p1511 promoters can initiate the transcription of ampicillin resistant gene AmpR in Escherichia coli. p1509 and p1511 promoters’ regions not only contain core components such as CAAT box and TATA box, but also include cis-acting regulatory elements involved in low temperature response and light response. 【Conclusion】 This study confirmed the function of p1509 and p1511 promoters, and excavated a novel strong promoter, p1509, which had stronger transcriptional activity than the positive control and contained abundant regulatory elements.
