摘    要:microRNA(miRNA)是一类长度为18~25 nt的单链小分子RNA。它可以调控基因的表达调控。通过与目标mRNA的特定位点的结合,从而抑制蛋白质的翻译或诱导该mRNA的降解。目前鱼类miRNA方面以斑马鱼miRNA的研究较多。为发掘另一种鱼类模式生物——青鳉鱼(Oryzias latipes,medeka)的miRNA,利用BLAST同源搜索方法与比较基因组学方法,并根据成熟miRNA的序列保守性以及miRNA前体(premiRNA)的二级结构的特征,对该模式生物的pre-miRNA进行了计算鉴定与分析。通过与miRBase19中已经发布的miRNA进行比较,在青鳉鱼基因组中共找到了56条新序列。设定miRNA基因间距的阈值为5000nt,新发现的与已知的pre-miRNA共形成31个基因簇。同时,这56条新发现的pre-miRNA可以划分到33个已知的基因家族中,并分析了新发现的、保守miRNA的靶标与功能。

关 键 词:miRNA  BLAST  比较基因组学  青鳉鱼

Abstract:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a kind of small single-strand RNA molecules whose length are 18-25 nt. miRNAs could regulate the gene expression by combining with the specific sites in mRNAs, which is subject to suppress the translation of proteins or induce degradation of the target mRNAs. Among fish species, zebra fish is the most studied organism on miRNA studies. To identify the miRNA precursors (pre-miRNAs)of model organism, medaka (Oryzias latipes), two methods including the BLAST method and comparative genomic approach, and two characters, such as the conservation of mature miRNA sequences and the characters of precursor's hairpin structure have been used in this research. By comparing with the data from miRBase19, 56 novel pre-miRNAs have been determined from the predicted pre-miRNAs. The 56 new pre-miRNAs and the 165 known pre-miRNAs in the miRBase19 could form into 31 gene clusters along the chromosomes with the threshold of gene interval was set at 5 000 nt. And these new pre-miRNAs could be classified into 33 miRNA gene families. Moreover, the targets and their functions of the new pre-miRNAs have also been analyzed.
Keywords:miRNA  BLAST  Comparative genomics  Medaka
