In order to investigate the molecular mechanism of low nitrogen resistance in cucumber, the full-length cDNA of SnRK gene was cloned in this study. The result showed that SnRK gene was 1 548 bp in length, encoded 515 amino acids, and had more than 80% homology with other crops. The protein encoded by this gene was an unstable and hydrophilic protein with no transmembrane structure and no signal peptide. Under nitrogen-free conditions and low nitrogen conditions, the expression pattern analysis of SnRK gene showed that this gene was up-regulated and its expression increased and was significantly higher than the normal level as the nitrogen concentration decreased. In addition, the expression of SnRK gene was also inhibited in the high nitrogen level and was significantly lower than the normal level. The result of this study would help us understand the molecular mechanism of low nitrogen resistance in cucumber.展开更多

The result of sequence analysis indicated that M/o gene from Pericallis hybrida B. Nord. contained about 1296bp open reading frame and encoded 431 amino acids. According to the comparison of the exogenous gene sequences by BLAST analysis and phylogenetic analysis, Mlo gene shared over 85% nucleotide homology and 98% amino acid homology. Finally, through semi-quantitative-PCR and fluorescence quantitative analysis, we found that Mlo gene showed the highest expression levels in leaves and the lowest in roots after inoculated with powdery mildew pathogen for different days.展开更多

Samples of heart, liver, spleen, lung, longissimus dorsi, semimembranosus, m. triceps brachii and biceps muscle of thigh were collected from a total of 36 Nanjiang Mongolian Gazelles at the age of 0, 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 days after birth (3 males and 3 females at each age). The CDS was sequenced and ontogeny of mRNA levels of IGFBP-1 were measured by real-time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR. The size of IGFBP-1 ORF was 792 bp encoding 263 amino acid residues, and displayed higher nucleotide/amino acid sequence identities with other ruminants compared to non-ruminants. The levels of IGFBP-1 mRNA in liver were highest (P<0.01), levels were medium in lung, spleen and heart, and the lowest in the muscles; there were no significant differences among the muscles (P>0.05). Three expression patterns of IGFBP-1 mRNA during postnatal growth from birth to day 60 were found: consistently decreasing (liver), fluctuating as increasing then decreasing (heart) or as decreasing then increasing then decreasing (spleen, lung and muscles). The results indicate that the IGFBP-1 gene is highly conserved among species, and liver has the highest expression. It was concluded that IGFBP-1 plays important roles in early postnatal growth and is expressed in a developmental-tissue-dependent manner.展开更多

In this study, ompA I ofAeromonas veronii strain WA106 was cloned and sequenced, then, it was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21. The nucleotide sequence of ompA I gene was 1 023 base pairs （GenBank Accession NO.KC748024）, which showed 100% homology with that of A. veronii （NO.AB290200.1）. This predicted protein was composed of 340 amino acid residues. Its molecular weight was 35.78 ku and isoelectric point was 5.18. The protein was a hydrophilic protein containing alpha helix and random coil with percentage of 35.0% and 49.7%, respectively. The tertiary structure, quaternary structure prediction showed that ompA I protein contained two peptide chains. SDS-PAGE showed that the actual value of the fusion protein was consistent with the expected result. It will facilitate further study of the role of ompA I protein.展开更多
