The complete mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit Ⅱ （COⅡ） gene of Penaeinae shrimp Fenneropenaeus chinensis was cloned and sequenced. The gene is 688 bp in length and codes for 229 amino acids. It shows 83.2%, 87.0% and 83.8% sequence similarity to Marsupenaeus Japonicus, Penaeus monodon and Farfantepenaeus notialis, respectively. The A＋T content of the whole gene and that at the third position of codons are 64.7% and 78.2%, respectively. The phylogenetic relationship between F. chinensis and three other species representing genera Farfanatepenaeus, Marsupenaeus and Penaeus was analyzed. Results showed that the genetic distances among the four taxa ranged from 0.144 0 to 0.200 5, exceeding those estimated with COⅠ and partial 16S rRNA gene sequences among Marsupenaeus, Litopenaeus and Melicertus, and being therefore larger than the value among subgenera. It has been suggested that the COⅡ gene has a faster evolutionary rate than that of the COⅠ gene and partial 16S rRNA gene and could be used for phylogenetic analysis at genus or species level. The results of the present study indicated that Farfantepenaeus, Fenneropenaeus, Marsupenaeus and Penaeus are at a higher phylogenetic level than subgenus, which supports the opinion of the elevation of phylogenetic status of the four subgenera to genus level. 相似文献

Cultures of a blue-green alga Spirulina maxima (Setch. et Gard.) Geitler with various concentrations of Se in Zarrouk's medium showed that not higher than 40 mg/L Se could
promote its growth. The present experiments showed that S. maxima grown under normal conditions, has an oxidant stress defence system for hydrogen peroxide (H 2O 2) removal, which is the Halliwell-Asada pathway. When 4 to 20 mg/L Se was added to the algal medium, this pathway was replaced
by a so-called Sestressed pathway containing GSH peroxidase (GSH-POD). As a result of the occurrence of both higher activity
of GSH-POD and lower levels of hydroxyl radical (OH·), the Se-stressed pathway scavenged H 2O 2 so effectively that the growth of S. maxima was promoted by 4 to 20 mg/L Se. While GSH-POD activity of the alga disappeared at 40 mg/L Se, the recovery of ascorbate
peroxidase was observed. The lower levels of ascorbic acid and GSH made the Halliwell-Asada pathway for scavenging H 2O 2 less effective, while the highest activity of catalase might be responsible in part for the H 2O 2 removal, causing the level of OH· in S. maxima grown at 40 mg/L Se to be much higher than the OH· level in this alga grown at 4 to 20 mg/L Se, but lower than that in the
control. The OH· level changes caused the growth of S. maxima cultured at 40 mg/L Se to increase slightly to close to that of the control. 相似文献

In order to understand the mechanisms of signal transduction and anti-desiccation mechanisms of Porphyra yezoensis, cDNA and its genomic sequence of Calmodulin gene (CaM) was cloned by the technique of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based
on the analysis of P. yezoensis ESTs from dbEST database. The result shows that the full-length cDNA of CaM consists of 603 bps including an ORF encoding
for 151 amino acids and a terminate codon UGA, while the length of genomic sequence is 1231 bps including 2 exons and 1 intron.
The average GC content of the coding region is 58.77%, while the GC content of the third position of this gene is as high
as 82.23%. Four Ca 2+ binding sites (EF-hand) are found in this gene. The predicted molecular mass of the deduced peptide is 16688.72 Da and the
pI is 4.222. By aligning with known CaM genes, the similarity of CaM gene sequence with homologous genes in Chlamydomonas incerta and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is 72.7% and 72.2% respectively, and the similarity of the deduced amino acid sequence of CaM gene with homologous genes
in C. incerta and C. reinhardtii are both 71.5%. This is the first report on CaM from a species of Rhodophyta. 相似文献

Reversible protein phosphorylation, catalyzed by protein kinases and phosphatases, is an important and versatile mechanism by which eukaryotic cells regulate almost all the signaling processes. Protein phosphatase 1 （PP1） is the first and well-characterized member of the protein serine/threonine phosphatase family. In the present study, a full-length cDNA encoding the beta isoform of the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase l（PPlcb）, was for the first time isolated and sequenced from the skin tissue of flatfish turbot Scophthalmus maximus, designated SmPPlcb, by the rapid amplification of cDNA ends （RACE） technique. The cDNA sequence of SmPPlcb we obtained contains a 984 bp open reading frame （ORF）, flanked by a complete 39 bp 5＇ untranslated region and 462 bp 3＇ untranslated region. The ORF encodes a putative 327 amino acid protein, and the N-terminal section of this protein is highly acidic, Met-Ala-Glu-Gly-Glu-Leu-Asp-Val-Asp, a common feature for PP1 catalytic subunit but absent in protein phosphatase 2B （PP2B）. And its calculated molecular mass is 37 193 Da and pI 5.8. Sequence analysis indicated that, SmPPlcb is extremely conserved in both amino acid and nucleotide acid levels compared with the PPlcb of other vertebrates and invertebrates, and its Kozak motif contained in the 5＇UTR around ATG start codon is GXXAXXGXXATGG, which is different from mammalian in two positions A6 and G3, indicating the possibility of different initiation of translation in turbot, and also the 3＇UTR of SmPPlcb is highly diverse in the sequence similarity and length compared with other animals, especially zebraf＇lsh. The cloning and sequencing of SmPPlcb gene lays a good foundation for the future work on the biological functions of PP1 in the flatfish turbot. 相似文献

Cloning and sequencing of the genes coding for the α- and β- subunit of phycoerythrin (PE) of a red alga— Gracilaria lemaneiformis (GL) are reported. Alignment of 1084 nucleotides sequenced with three known red algal PE genes, Rhodella violacea (RV), Polysiphonia boldii (PB) and Aglaothamnion neglectum (AN), showed high level of conservation, and similarities of 77,6% (between GL and RV), 77.9% (GL and AN) and 79.0% (GL and
PB). The similarities of amino acids were 84.8% (between GL and RV), 85.7% (GL and PB), and 80.6% (AN and GL), higher than
those among nucleotides.

The phylogeny of the oligotrich ciliates is currently a hot debate despite the availability of both morphological and molecular
data. In the present paper, further small subunit rRNA (SS rRNA) genes were analyzed from the Genera Omegastrombidium and Novistrombidium, as well as from Strombidium, and combined with three new SS rRNA sequences from Strombidium basimorphum, S. sulcatum population QD-1, and Novistrombidium testaceum population GD. The phylogenetic positions of these organisms were inferred using Bayesian inference, Maximum Likelihood,
and Maximum Parsimony methods. The main results are: (1) the SS rRNA gene sequence analyses match the recent findings about
the molecular evolution of oligotrichs, indicating that the family Strombidiidae is paraphyletic; (2) the Genus Omegastrombidium is separated from the Genus Strombidium, as shown in recent cladistic analyses; (3) morphospecies in Genus Novistrombidium, based on similarity of somatic ciliature, are separated from each other in all topological trees, indicating that this genus
could be a paraphyletic group; (4) the molecular data indicate a possibility of paraphyly for the genus Strombidium; and (5) the similarities of the SS rRNA gene of specimens identified as S. sulcatum and S. inclinatum are 99.8%–100%. However, present knowledge on the oligotrichs sensu stricto is still insufficient and further studies based
on both molecular and other technologies are required. 相似文献

The method to introduce foreign genes into the kelp,L. japonica
Biolistic bombardment has been proved to be an effective method to bombard foreign DNA through cell walls into intact cells of both sporophytes and gametophytes. The expression ofcat andlacZ was detected in regenerated sporophytes, which suggests that this method could induce random integration of foreign genes.

The CaMV35S promoter was first used by us to induce the expression of GUS gene in brown algae. But results of further studies suggested that CaMV35S could be a tissue-specific promoter. Our use of SV40 promoter resulted in both transient and stable expression oflacZ andcat in sporophytes or gametophytes. No GUS or LacZ background was found in either sporophytes or gametophytes.The regeneration route of transgenic kelp
The regeneration efficiency of explants is still very low. By using female gametophytes as gene hosts and parthenogenesis as regeneration route, CAT activity and LacZ activity were detected in regenerated sporophytes of parthenogenetic kelp. li]4.|The way to select transgenic kelp

Results of sensitivity tests showed that kelp was only sensitive to chloramphenicol and hygromycin among many antibiotics. The regenerated sporophytes by parthenogenesis were more sensitive to hygromycin than to chloramphenicol. Resistant kelp was created by transforming female gametophytes with pSV40-CAT and stimulating parthenogenesis followed by selection in medium with lethal concentration of chloramphenicol.
Safety consideration of transgenic kelp
L. japonica was originally introduced from Japan. In China it is a cultured population. The possibility of its negative impact on natural populations is very low. 2) The vectors and target genes used for transformation should be restricted in order to avoid any negative impacts on human health and environment. 3) Specially devised containers (3.6 L, made of 200 μm membrane) were used to ensure that the kelp cannot escape or be eaten by marine animals. 4) To avoid the release of spores, it is very necessary to harvest the kelp at suitable age before the sporangium forms.

A spectral method to investigate the effect of Fe3+, Fe2+ on the thermostability of phycocyanin (PC) ofSpirulina maxima showed that iron ions provent decrease of visible light absorbance and fluorescence intensity of PC. Increase in denaturation temperature caused by Fe3+ was observed by the micro-differential scanning calorimetric method. All results showed iron ions maintain the aggregation stability of the PC. The absorption spectrum of phycocyanobilin (PCB, a prosthetic group of PC) with Fe3+ in chloroform was quite different from that of free PCB. 相似文献

The total content ot the nch amino acids in two common red algae, Potystpnoma urceolata and Polysiphonia japonica growing in the Qingdao seashore were determined. The algae powder was hydrolyzed by 6 mol/L HC1 at 110℃ for 48 h and determined by amino acid analyzer. The content was 25.35% and 24.16% , respectively, much higher than that of some other species. In addition, a nutritive liquid with abundant amino acids was prepared (by the enzymatic hydrolysis method using Polysiphonia urceolata ) as raw material for a kind of health beverage. The dried seaweed was decolored by 0.25% KMnO4 and 0.5% active carbon, then enzymalized. In the selection of enzymalizing condition, the orthogonal experimental design was used. Four factors including kinds of enzyme, quantity of enzyme, temperature and time were studied at 3 levels. According to the orthogonal design results, we can choose an optimal condition: hydrolyzing at 45℃ by neutral proteinase (0.25% , w/w) for 2 h, adjusting pH to 8.5, then adding trypsin (0.25% , w/w) and hydrolyzing for 2 h. Finally the above solution was alkalized by NaOH and neutralized by casein. After the hydrolyzed liquid was filtered and concentrated, suitable additives were added. The final products contain rich amino acids. 相似文献

The isotherms of the interaction between the suspended particles and Cu 2+, and the effects of lysine and asparaginic acid on the isotherms in the Huanghe (Yellow) River were studied by applying the
theory and method of interfacial stepwise ion/coordination particle exchange. We obtained a new stepped river isotherm, formed
by two curves joined together with a “plateau” in the middle. The adsorption equilibrium constants K
1 and K
2 were calculated by using the isothermal equation of surface stepwise ion exchange. Amino acid in small amount promotes exchange
adsorption of the suspended particles with Cu 2+. The degree of promotive action relates to the isoelectric point of amino acid. The promotive effect of lysine is bigger
than that of asparaginic acid.

Nannochloropsis oculata CS179, a unicellular marine microalga, is rich in long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs). Elongase and desaturase
play a key role in the biosynthesis of PUFAs. A new elongase gene, which encodes 322 amino acids, was identified via RT-PCR and 5′ and 3′ RACE. The sequence of the elongase gene was blast-searched in the NCBI GenBank and showed a similarity
to those of the cryptosporidium. But the NJ-tree revealed that the N. oculata CS179 elongase clustered with those of the microalgae Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Ostreococcus tauri and Thalassiosira pseudonana. 相似文献

Marine sponge Tedania anhelans distributes throughout the intertidal zone of Fujian, southeastern China, and is a potential source of natural bioactive products. The sponge harbors a large number of bacterial groups that have been identified using various techniques, including fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Fractionation of dissociated sponge allowed isolation of 25 bacterial species. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing, phylogenetic analysis attributed most of these eubacteria to α-Proteobacteria, γ-Proteobacteria, Cytophaga/Flavobacterium/Bacteroidetes (CFB group), and the family Bacillaceae of Gram-positive bacteria. In sequence similarity, five putatively novel species were identified with less than 98% similarity to other strains in the NCBI database. Tests for antimicrobial activities were performed against Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, antitumor indicators Escherichia coli 343/591 (with DNA repair deficiency), regular E. coli 343/636 (with different DNA repair capacity), and 10 bacterial isolates exhibited inhibitory bioactivities. Among these strains, three isolates were detected involving function gene NRPS-A domains, which were most closely related to the amino acid sequences of linear gramicidin synthetase and pyoverdine synthetase. These results contribute to our knowledge of the microbes associated with marine sponges and further reveal novel bacterial resources for the screening of bioactive marine natural products. 相似文献

A novel immune-related gene was expressed in Japanese flounder ( Paralichthys olivaceus) injected with Vibrio anguillarum. The complete cDNA contained a 169 bp 5’UTR, a 336 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding 111 amino acids and a 556bp 3’UTR.
Six exons and five introns were identified in the PoIR2 gene. Blastp similarity comparison showed its encoding protein had 50% similarity to Danio rerio neuromedin S (NMS), but further alignment indicated they did not have NMS C-terminal conservational signature domain. So
it was not defined as an NMS homologue. Protein structure analysis indicated it had a 26aa signal peptide and was a secretory
pathway protein. RT-PCR demonstrated that the expression of PoIR2 was quickly induced and drastically increased in liver, kidney, spleen, gills, intestine, heart, and skeletal muscle after
infected with V. anguillarum. These results indicated that the PoIR2 might play some important role in Japanese flounder immune response system. This gene was named PoIR2 ( P.olivaceus immune-related gene 2, GenBank accession number: EU224372). The mature PoIR2 peptide was expressed in BL21(DE3) pLysS using pET-32a(+) vector and a great part of the recombinant mature peptide existed
as soluble type. 相似文献

The complete mitogenome of Parachiloglanis hodgarti was sequenced and characterized, which is the first mitogenome of the genus Parachiloglanis within Sisoridae. The mitogenome is 16 511-bp long and included 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNAs, two ribosomal RNAs, and one control region. The genome composition was A+T biased (58.64%) and exhibited a positive AT-skew (0.095) and a negative GC-skew (?0.283). Compared with other Sisoridae fishes, the characteristics of nucleotide skews, codon usage, and amino acid usage of the P. hodgarti mitogenome are more similar to those of non-Glyptosternoid fishes. Furthermore, the phylogenetic trees show that Sisoridae fishes fall into four major clades and P. hodgarti (Clade I) is basal to the Sisoridae family, forming a sister clade to the Glyptosternoids (Clade IV). The topological structures constructed in this study raised doubts over the traditional classification system. These results will help better understand the features of the P. hodgarti mitogenome and provide a reference for further phylogenetic research on Sisoridae species. 相似文献

The myosin heavy chain (MyHC) is one of the major structural and contracting proteins of muscle. We have isolated the cDNA
clone encoding MyHC of the grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella. The sequence comprises 5 934 bp, including a 5 814 bp open reading frame encoding an amino acid sequence of 1 937 residues.
The deduced amino acid sequence showed 69% homology to rabbit fast skeletal MyHC and 73%–76% homology to the MyHCs from the
mandarin fish, walleye pollack, white croaker, chum salmon, and carp. The putative sequences of subfragment-1 and the light
meromyosin region showed 61.4%–80% homology to the corresponding regions of other fish MyHCs. The tissue-specific and developmental
stage-specific expressions of the MyHC gene were analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR. The MyHC gene showed the highest
expression in the muscles compared with the kidney, spleen and intestine. Developmentally, there was a gradual increase in
MyHC mRNA expression from the neural formation stage to the tail bud stage. The highest expression was detected in hatching
larva. Our work on the MyHC gene from the grass carp has provided useful information for fish molecular biology and fish genomics. 相似文献
