摘要
为认识葫芦科植物中葫芦素生物合成途径所需鲨烯合酶基因结构特征,克隆白皮黄瓜鲨烯合酶(squalene synthase,SS)基因c DNA并进行生物信息学分析。根据葫芦科植物绞股蓝、罗汉果、红花栝楼等的鲨烯合酶基因cDNA序列,设计白皮黄瓜鲨烯合酶引物,分别采用3'RACE和5'RACE技术扩增鲨烯合酶基因3'端和5'端。获得白皮黄瓜鲨烯合酶基因的两个cDNA克隆,命名为CsSS1和CsSS2,其cDNA序列全长分别为1 627 bp和1 534 bp,都编码417个氨基酸残基,分子质量为47.6 k D。成功克隆得到白皮黄瓜鲨烯合酶基因全长cDNA序列并对其进行序列分析,后续可用于葫芦素生物合成途径所需鲨烯合酶基因正选择位点功能分析。
We cloned the full length cDNA encoding squalene synthase （SS） from white cucumber and did bioi- nformatic analysis, in order to get more insight into the structural characteristics of SS involved in cucurbitacine biosynthesis pathway of Cucurbitaceae. According to the cDNA sequence of SS gene from Cucurbitaceae including Gynostemma pentaphyllum, Siraitia grosvenorii, Trichosanthes rubriflos and so on, primers of squalene synthase of white Cucumber were designed to amplify 3＇-terminal and 5＇-terminal sequence of SS by 3＇RACE and 5＇RACE respectively. Two cDNAs of SS of white cucumber were obtained, named CsSS1 （1 627 bp） and CsSS2 （1 534 bp） respectively, all coding a polypeptide containing 417 amino acid residues with molecular weight of 47.6 kD. We successfully cloned the full length eDNA sequence of white cucumber squalene synthase gene and did bioinformatic analysis. Furthermore, these two cDNA clones will be utilized for the analysis of the positive selection site of squalene synthase involved in cucurbitacine biosynthesis nathway.
