摘要: 拟南芥RPS14(Ribosomal protein S14)是从拟南芥中分离出的一种核糖体蛋白,是核糖体40S 亚基的组成成分,属于S11P 核糖体蛋白家族,主要负责RNA 转录后加工。提取拟南芥总RNA,用RT-PCR 技术得到RPS14 全长基因,经T-A 克隆插入到pEASY-T3 载体上。利用亚克隆法成功构建pGEX-6P-1-RPS14 原核表达质粒。GST-RPS14 融合蛋白在大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)中表达,分子量约为43 kD。运用同样方法构建pET-28a-AK6 原核表达质粒,获得大小约为26 kD 的HIS-AK6 融合蛋白。运用体外pull-down 技术,并用SDS-PAGE 和Western blot 进行验证,证明拟南芥RPS14 蛋白与AK6 蛋白之间存在相互作用。因此,推测拟南芥的AK6 与RPS14 蛋白共同参与核酸代谢过程,影响RNA 转录后加工,进而抑制拟南芥茎细胞的生长,使植株表现矮小特征。

Abstract: RPS14(Ribosomal protein S14)is a ribosomal protein of Arabidopsis thaliana. It is a structural component of 40S ribosomalsubunit and belongs to the S11P ribosomal protein family. It is responsible for RNA post-transcriptional processing. We extracted the total RNAof Arabidopsis thaliana. The RPS14 full-length gene was obtained by RT-PCR. Through inserting the gene fragment into pEASY-T3 vector byT-A cloning, we successfully constructed a recombinant vector pGEX-6P-1-RPS14. The GST-RPS14 protein was expressed in BL21(DE3)strain and molecular weight was approximately 43 kD. We constructed the recombinant vector pET-28a-AK6 in the same way and obtained theapproximately 26 kD HIS-AK6 protein. We demonstrated the interaction between RPS14 and AK6 using pull-down, SDS-PAGE and Westernblot. Therefore, we speculate that they together participate in the nucleic acid metabolism and play a role in the RNA post-transcriptionalprocessing, thereby inhibiting growth of stem cells and making plants show dwarf phenotype.
