2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and related planar halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons (PHAHs) are highly toxic to most vertebrate animals, but there are dramatic species differences in sensitivity, both within and among vertebrate classes. For example, studies in cultured avian hepatocytes have revealed differential sensitivity of birds to PHAHs [Kennedy et al. (1996). Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol., 141, 214-230]. Differences in the characteristics or expression of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) could contribute to these species differences in PHAH responsiveness. To investigate the molecular mechanism of differential PHAH sensitivity, we have begun to characterize the AHR in white leghorn chicken (Gallus gallus), Pekin duck (Anas platyrhynchos), and common tern (Sterna hirundo), as well as an amphibian, mudpuppy (Necturus maculosus). Partial AHR cDNAs encompassing the helix-loop-helix and PAS domains were cloned and sequenced. Comparison of amino acid sequences in this region indicated a high degree of sequence conservation among the bird species (97% amino acid identity). The percent identity between bird sequences and either mouse or mudpuppy was lower (79%); the mudpuppy AHR was 74% identical to the mouse AHR. Phylogenetic analysis of these and other AHR amino acid sequences showed that the bird and mudpuppy AHRs were more closely related to mammalian and fish AHR1 forms than to fish AHR2. Future studies include the in vitro expression and functional characterization of AHRs from these and other non-mammalian vertebrates. 相似文献

Species differences in sensitivity to related planar halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons (PHAH) add significant uncertainty in assessing the ecological risk to aquatic mammals. To investigate mechanisms of PHAH sensitivity in aquatic mammals, we cloned and sequenced the cDNA of Baikal seal aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), an intracellular protein that initiates PHAH-mediated effects. The Baikal seal AHR cDNA has an open reading frame of 843 amino acid residues with a predicted molecular mass of 94.6 kDa. Comparison of AHR amino acid sequences indicated a high degree of sequence conservation (98%) between Baikal and harbor seals. The high conservation of AHRs between Baikal and harbor seals indicates that these seals express AHR proteins closely related structurally. In our previous report (Kim & Hahn, 2002), the dioxin-binding affinity of the harbor seal AHR was at least as high as that of the AHR from a dioxin-sensitive strain of mice, suggesting that this seal species may be sensitive to PHAH effects. This implies that Baikal seal may also be sensitive to dioxin effects. 相似文献

克隆获得缢蛏(Sinonovacula constricta)谷胱甘肽S-转移酶(Sc-GSTσ)和热休克蛋白90(Sc-HSP90)基因的cDNA全长，分析了它们的组织表达差异及其在氨氮胁迫下的表达特征。结果表明，Sc-GSTσ的全长cDNA为1 414 bp，含有639 bp的开放阅读框(Open Reading Frame，ORF)，编码212个氨基酸，Sc-GSTσ氨基酸序列与其他物种的GST氨基酸序列同源性为31.88%～43.40%；而Sc-HSP90的全长cDNA为2 752 bp，ORF为2 181 bp，编码726个氨基酸，其氨基酸序列与其他物种HSP90的氨基酸序列同源性为76.77%～87.05%。荧光定量PCR分析发现，Sc-GSTσ和Sc-HSP90在缢蛏各组织中均有表达，两者均在肝胰腺中表达量最高。氨氮胁迫后，Sc-GSTσ和Sc-HSP90 mRNA在肝胰腺中表达均显著上调(p<0.05)，表明氨氮胁迫引起机体的应激反应，2个基因可能参与机体解毒或防御过程。但胁迫后期表达量下降推测是机体的防御能力有限，不足以完全保护宿主免受应激诱导的细胞损伤。 相似文献

Concentrations of PCBs and their toxic potential were examined in subcutaneous fat of eight albatross and one petrel species collected from the North Pacific and the Southern Oceans. Among all the species analyzed, high PCB levels were found in adult male blackfooted albatross from the North Pacific with the mean value of 92 microg/g wet weight. No significant gender difference in PCB accumulation was observed (P>0.1). The mean PCB levels in Southern Oceanic birds were 1 or 2 orders of magnitude lower than those from the North Pacific albatrosses. A regional-specific accumulation of non-ortho coplanar congeners were observed, most birds from the Southern Ocean had higher IUPAC 169 levels while IUPAC 126 concentrations were higher in those from the North Pacific. The estimated toxic equivalents for black-footed and Laysan albatrosses from the North Pacific were in the same range of some fish-eating birds, which were highly contaminated by PCBs. The correlation between ratio of IUPAC 169/126 concentration and total PCBs concentration indicated the possibility of induction in cytochrome P450 activities in North Pacific albatrosses (P<0.01). The calculated hazard indices indicated that black-footed and Laysan albatrosses inhabiting in the North Pacific had similar threshold levels which were known to cause toxic effects in some populations of fish-eating birds. 相似文献

大菱鲆生长激素基因cDNA的克隆、序列分析及分子系统研究 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
为了从分子水平研究大菱鲆生长激素作用机制及进化机制.以大菱鲆(Scophthalmus maximus)为材料从脑垂体中提取mRNA,利用SMART-RACE技术建立大菱鲆脑垂体cDNA文库,并从该文库中克隆出大菱鲆生长激素(growth Hormone,GH)cDNA全长序列.测序结果表明,克隆的大菱鲆GH cDNA序列全长为876 bp,包括108 bp的5'UTR和174 bp的3'UTR序列.该基因的开放阅读框全长591 bp,编码由197氨基酸残基组成的生长激素成熟肽序列,用生物软件DNASTAR计算大菱鲆生长激素蛋白分子量为1*!909.22,等电点为6.24.将大菱鲆与漠斑牙鲆、褐牙鲆等共7种鲆鲽鱼类GH成熟肽氨基酸序列进行比较分析,结果显示大菱鲆与其他6种鲆鲽鱼类序列同源性均为70%左右,而鲆科鱼类与鲽科鱼类间生长激素基因同源性很高(≥80%),说明大菱鲆与鲆科、鲽科鱼类的同源性较低.另外,运用PAUP软件对7种鲆蝶科鱼类与另外8种不同种属鱼类进行了分子系统进化树分析,结果与根据传统的形态学和生化特征分类进化地位基本一致,大菱鲆单独形成1个分支且与鲆科和鲽科鱼类相距较远,此结果为在形态学分类基础上进一步定义菱鲆属鱼类分类提供了理论依据. 相似文献

泛素结合酶(UbcE2)是蛋白泛素化过程中所必需的酶,在泛素转移和底物的特异性识别方面发挥着重要的作用。本实验利用RACE技术克隆获得了全长为993bp的松江鲈泛素结合酶E2-D2基因cDNA序列(命名为TfUbcE2-D2),其开放阅读框为444bp,编码147个氨基酸。通过SMART预测得知,TfUbcE2-D2含有一个UBCc结构域。同源比对结果表明该基因与其他物种的同源性为92.31%。实时荧光定量PCR显示,TfUbcE2-D2广泛表达于松江鲈各组织,在肾脏中的相对表达量最高,其次为鳃。鳗弧菌(Vibrio anguillarum)刺激后,TfUbcE2-D2在血液、脾脏、肝脏和鳃中表达均上调,其中,脾脏和鳃中的表达量上调约40倍。由以上实验结果推测,TfUbcE2-D2可能参与松江鲈的先天免疫防御。 相似文献

The cytochrome P450 1 (CYP1) family has expanded with the addition of the CYP1B and CYP1C subfamilies. We recently identified a new CYP1 subfamily in zebrafish, CYP1D, with a single gene, CYP1D1. Here we examined sequences found in other fish genomes, i.e., stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) and medaka (Oryzias latipes), for similarities among fish CYP1D1 genes. The full-length deduced amino acid sequences for CYP1D1 in these two species averaged about 43% identity to the CYP1As, but nearly 50% when sequence alignment ambiguities were masked. CYP1D1 has seven exons, similar in size and position to the exons in CYP1D1 and CYP1A in zebrafish. However, the intronic distances were substantially smaller in the medaka and stickleback. There also were differing numbers of putative xenobiotic response elements in the CYP1D1 of the various species. Whether the stickleback or medaka genes are inducible by aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) agonists is yet to be determined. 相似文献

促性腺激素释放激素(Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone,GnRH)是脊椎动物下丘脑-垂体-性腺轴的关键信号分子。近年来的研究显示,GnRH也存在于贝类等无脊椎动物,且在雌雄异体性别分化与繁殖中起重要作用,然而雌雄同体贝类GnRH的研究仍处于空白。本文以海湾扇贝为研究对象,利用RACE技术克隆获得GnRH的cDNA全长序列,该基因长1335 bp,编码101个氨基酸,前体包含1个由24个氨基酸组成的信号肽以及1个具有酰胺化修饰的活性肽(QNFHYSNGWQP-amide)。GnRH在脑足神经节和脏神经节中均有表达,且在2015年10月-2016年1月,GnRH在脑足神经节中的表达量显著高于脏神经节(P<0.05);GnRH在两个神经节中的表达均呈现先上升后下降的趋势,峰值出现在11月份,推测可能与性腺发育启动有关。本研究为深入理解GnRH在贝类繁殖调控中的作用奠定了基础。 相似文献

作为先天性免疫反应中重要的模式识别受体之一, TLR(toll-like receptor)基因家族介导的先天性免疫是脊椎动物抵御病原微生物的重要防线。研究分析了线纹海马Hippocampus erectus tlr21基因的序列特征, 并基于抗原注射实验探讨了海马tlr21的免疫功能。线纹海马tlr21基因的开放阅读框长度为2946bp, 编码981个氨基酸, 预测其编码蛋白相对分子量为246.98kDa, 理论等电点为4.78。tlr21编码蛋白主要包含1个信号肽和3个功能结构域: 胞外区具有14个富含亮氨酸重复序列的结构域(LRR), 跨膜区具有富含半胱氨酸的结构域, 胞内区则具有TIR结构域。同源性比较和系统进化分析表明, 线纹海马tlr21基因与虎尾海马Hippocampus comes tlr21基因的同源性最高, 其次与斜带石斑鱼Epinephelus coioides、牙鲆Paralichthys olivaceus、大菱鲆Scophthalmus maximus和红鳍东方鲀Takifugu rubripes的tlr21基因聚为一枝。tlr21基因在线纹海马的脑、鳃、肝、肠、肾、性腺、肌肉和育儿袋各组织均有分布, 肾脏中表达量最高。抗原注射实验结果发现, 线纹海马Tlr21对不同类型CpG寡脱氧核苷酸(CpG-ODNs)的识别能力存在差异, 其中, CpG-2007和CpG-HC4040对海马肾脏tlr21的mRNA表达量具有显著的促进作用(P<0.05)。研究表明, 线纹海马Tlr21能够通过识别含CpG序列的DNA发挥免疫识别作用, 研究结果将有助于系统认识海马免疫系统中TLR家族基因的功能特征, 为建立海马病害防治策略提供理论依据。 相似文献

We cloned the complete cDNA of the β-tubulin from the soft coral,Scleronephthya gracillimum (Kükenthal) (Alcyonacea, Octocorallia, Anthozoa, Cnidaria), via the random sequencing of a cDNA library and the 5′-rapid
amplification of cDNA end (RACE) technique. The full-length cDNA of theS. gracillimum β-tubulin comprised 1541 bp, not including the poly (A)+ stretch, also contained a complete open reading frame, which codes for a total of 445 amino acids. The amino acid residues
16-402 appeared to be in a state of conservation in a variety of animals. Northern blot analysis clearly demonstrated that
the sequence we have obtained is, indeed, the full-length cDNA of the β-tubulin gene inS. gracillimum. 相似文献
