Abstract: In order to obtain the full-length of actin’s sequence in Bufo bufo gargarizans,the total RNA was extracted from the parotid gland of B. bufo gargarizans,and high-throughput sequencing of transcriptome was used to obtain the full-length cDNA of actin (BbgActin)in B. gargarizansas 2 055 bp. The sequence of ORF(open reading frame)was verified by RT-PCR and sequencing. Sequence analysis showed that the ORF was 1 131 bp encoding for a polypeptide of 376 amino acid residues. Homologous alignment by software BLAST P revealed that it shared over 89% of nucleotide identities and over 90% of amino acid identities with actins from other animals in GenBank. Phylogenetic analysis showed that BbgActin clustered in a class with γ-Actin and highly conserved during evolution. In conclusion,it is the first time to acquire the full-length sequence of γ-Actin cDNA in B. bufo gargarizans,which lays a foundation for further studies on the role of gene Bbgγ-Actin on the life activities of B. bufo gargarizans.
