To investigate the evolutional significance of Sox9 in fish, we isolated and characterized Sox9a cDNA and genomic clones in triploid crucian carp. The cDNA encoded a protein of 457 amino acids with an HMG box and showed more than 60% amino acid sequence identity with known vertebrate Sox9 proteins. Triploid crucian carp and vertebrate Sox9s showed similar gene structure, and two introns in the coding region were located at conserved positions. On the basis of the amino acid sequences, Sox9a can be categorized into the same subgroup of Sox-E proteins as Sox8, 9, and 10. Interestingly, the expression of triploid crucian carp Sox9a was predominantly observed not in the ovary but in the testis by Northern blot and RT-PCR analysis. The expression analysis of Sox9a suggested that it may seldom contribute to the formation of normal functions of spermatozoa, but it may play an important role in the development of testicular tubules. Besides the testicular expression, Sox9a was also shown to be expressed in many other tissues including the brain, kidney, and heart of triploid crucian carp, indicating that Sox9 may have unique functions in some specific tissues during development.  相似文献

The growth hormone (GH) gene isolated and cloned from various Labeo species (L. rohita, L. calbasu, L. fimbriatus, L. gonius, L. bata, and L. kontius) is shown to contain a single copy in the haploid genome, with an overall size of ∼2.5 kb. The GH gene in all the Labeo species studied has five exons and four introns of various sizes with the exon/intron boundary sequence of GT/AG. The length variation of the GH gene between the species is found to be due to length variation in the form of several deletions in the third intron. The length of individual exons is the same in all the species with an open reading frame (ORF) of 630 bp (210 amino acids) except in L. rohita, which has a 9 bp deletion in the fourth exon, resulting in a shorter GH of 621 bp (207 amino acids). The similarity in the nucleotide and amino acid sequences between the different Labeo species is greater than 97%, in spite of eight amino acids being altered in the GH protein of Labeo that reside outside the conserved domain sequence required for its function. Nucleotide substitutions are seen in the form of 20 transitions and three transversions in the ORF of the GH gene. Both types of transitions (A–G; T–C) and only one type of transversion (A–C) are detected in the GH gene. Codon preference in GH gene shows a strong preference for G and C in the wobble position of the codons. Genetic interrelationships determined between Labeo and other species of fishes using nucleotide sequence of GH cDNA supports the overall teleost classification of Nelson (Fishes of the World. Wiley, New York, 1984) with separate clades for Ostariophysi, Protacanthopterygii, and Acanthopterygii. Besides, the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic means (UPGMA) analysis clearly distinguishes between the species having five exons and four introns in the GH gene from the species having six exons and five introns in the same gene. The Labeo species analyzed in the present study could be clustered into two groups using the maximum-parsimony method on the intron sequences data of the GH gene.  相似文献

Two isoforms of the full-length cDNA of the growth hormone receptor (GHR) of the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar; ss) were cloned by a PCR approach using RACE. Respectively, the cDNA sequences of ssGHR isoforms 1 and 2 are 2654 and 2608 nucleotides long, with 1782 and 1773 nucleotide ORFs. The resulting coded proteins are 594 and 590 aa long, with 19 and 20 aa signal peptides. The two isoforms share 86% protein and 87% cDNA sequence similarity. Isoform 1 is most similar to other salmonid GHR isoforms 1 while isoform 2 is most similar to salmonid GHR isoforms 2 (93–95%). Similarity with other teleost species was lower (37–44%). The bioactivity of the cloned ssGHR was tested by transfecting the ssGHR isoform 1 cDNA into CHO-K1 hamster cells, incubating with recombinant salmon GH (sGH) or native ovine prolactin (oPRL), and measuring cell proliferation by the MTT assay. The ssGHR-transfected cells significantly increased proliferation when stimulated by sGH at all concentrations. oPRL stimulated ssGHR-transfected cells at higher concentrations due to receptor cross reaction. ssGHR isoforms 1 and 2 contain a single transmembrane domain and the typical conserved motifs found in other teleost GHRs, including four paired cysteine residues and five potential N-glycosylation sites in the extracellular domain, Box I and Box II, as well as seven potential tyrosine phosphorylation sites in the intracellular domain. However, in salmonids, these motifs differ from those of other teleosts, and could be responsible for differentiated hormone binding, signal transduction and response.  相似文献

Little is known about molecular mechanisms involved in gonad differentiation in sturgeon species. In non‐mammalian vertebrates, sox9, dmrt1, cyp17a1 and ar are male specific genes in testicular differentiation and are highly conserved. In order to understand the mechanism underlying testicular development in sturgeon, we investigated sex steroids level of 11‐ketotestosterone (KT) and testosterone (T) and relative expression of sox9, dmrt1, cyp17a1 and ar in great sturgeon gonads during different stages of sexual maturity. The results showed all studied genes had dimorphic patterns in males. In immature gonads (stage I), only cyp17a1 expressed in male gonads, while other genes did not express, and KT and T levels were low. Dmrt1 showed dimorphic expression pattern in male gonads at maturity stage II, III and IV. Furthermore, sox9 and ar mRNA presented significant dimorphic expression pattern in male gonads only at maturity stage 4. Plasma androgens levels were significantly higher in males compared to females during maturity stages II, III and IV. The results showed that among these four genes, only cyp17a1 expressed in male gonads at maturity stage I (immature), suggesting that this gene may be applicable as a sex marker in recently differentiated male great sturgeon. Sexually dimorphic patterns in other studied genes (sox9, dmrt1 and ar) suggesting that these genes may be important for testicular development and differentiation in premature great sturgeon. The obtained results provide a foundation for further research on sex differentiation and developing strategies for the sexing of sturgeon for aquaculture.  相似文献

Dermatopontin (DPT), a component of the extracellular matrix, plays important roles in cell‐matrix interactions and matrix assembly. Some studies have revealed that it has more general functions in biological activities. However, its function in molluscs is poorly understood. In this study, a molluscan DPT gene, saDPT2, was cloned from small abalone Haliotis diversicolor. The full‐length cDNA of saDPT2 sequence is 620 bp, with a 531 bp open reading frame encoding a protein of 177 amino acids (aa). Amino acid sequence analysis revealed that saDPT2 shares conserved signature motifs with other DPT proteins, including three repeats of 10‐residue motif (S‐X‐H‐X‐N‐X‐Y‐E‐D‐R), which is similar to mammalian 6‐residue repeating sequence of D‐R‐E/Q‐W‐X‐F/Y. Quantitative real‐time PCR was employed to investigate the tissue distribution of saDPT2 mRNA, its expression at different developmental stages, and in abalone under bacteria challenge. The saDPT2 mRNA could be detected in all examined tissues and developmental stages. Moreover, the saDPT2 mRNA was up‐regulated in haemocytes and gills after bacteria injection. The results indicate that the saDPT2 could respond to pathogenic infection and may play a role in adult abalone immune system.  相似文献

AMP-deaminase (AMPD, EC 3.5.4.6), which catalyzes the irreversible hydrolytic deamination of AMP to IMP and ammonia, is an important energy-related enzyme. The partial genomic sequence of the gene encoding myoadenylate deaminase (AMPD1) from the teleost fish Platichthys flesus was determined. The amino acid sequence of P. flesus AMPD1 shows 82% homology with that of the teleost fish Danio rerio. Comparison of genomic sequences of P. flesus and Rattus norvegicus reveals a high degree of conservation of both sequence and structural organization. A phylogenetic analysis of AMPD sequences shows that bony fish and mammalian AMPD1s arise by duplication of a common primordial gene.  相似文献

The DNA of two laboratory strains of guppy (Poecilia reticulata), Black Yellow (BYS) and Red Flame (RFS), was studied with respect to their colour differences, in two generations (F1 and F2). Their varying morphological colours were related to their cloned fragments of cytochrome b mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and random‐amplified polymorphic DNA‐polymerase chain reaction (RAPD‐PCR). The F1 generation was characterized by various forms. The male BYS could be divided into 68% having black–yellow tails and 14% having black–yellow–red tails. The other variations were found in very low percentages. The percentage of black–yellow‐tailed males increased to 85 in the F2 generation, and the percentages of the various other forms consequently decreased. Only 63% of BYS males had black–yellow dorsal fins in the F1 generation, but this percentage increased to 84 in F2. Compared with the males, fewer variations were found in female colour patterns in the F1 generation. A high percentage of BYS females (81%) colour was found with no significant increase in the F2 generation. However, variations decreased in the F2 females. On the other hand, a very high variation was found in female fins in the F1 generation: only 32% were of BYS colour and 25% had no‐colour fins. However, a significant increase in BYS colour was found in the F2 generation (61%) and 39% had no colour. The variation in RFS was lower than BYS in the F1 generation: 81% of the F1 males had red–yellow tails with colour, 46% of the fins were yellow and 36% were red–white. In females, a very high percentage (84%) had red–yellow tails and 76% had no‐colour dorsal fins. Mitochondria DNA markers and genomic DNA were studied in various laboratory strains. In the clone of the fragments of cytochrome b, the bands correlated to the colour phenotype. A fragment of the cDNA sequence was determined from a 268‐bp cloned with fragments of the guppy cytochrome b mtDNA gene. The genes varied for the two strains in only two base pairs, starting at the nucleotide position 171 and ending at position 174. Three primers showed good results in the RAPD‐PCR and were found suitable for the study of DNA variations in guppy. The high variation detected in BYS, in comparison with RFS, was reflected by changes in band‐sharing (BS) values ranging from 0.66 to 1, versus 0.8 to 1 in RFS.  相似文献
