鹅PPAR基因全长cDNA的克隆和序列分析

Cloning and Sequence Analysis of cDNA Encoding PPAR from Goose

PPAR基因是近年发现的与脂类代谢有重要关联的核受体基因。参考鸡、人类、啮齿类等动物的PPAR基因序列,用RT PCR方法首次获得了鹅PPARα和PPARγ基因的cDNA序列,2个基因CDS长度分别为1407bp和1428bp。鹅与鸡、人、鼠等5种动物PPARα基因、PPARγ基因CDS序列同源性分别为87.43%、92.00%,氨基酸序列同源性分别为93.38%、96.95%。进一步对包括鹅在内的17个物种PPAR基因的CDS序列进行同源性比较结果显示,PPAR基因不同亚型的同源性相对较低,为66.18%;PPAR基因相同亚型的同源性很高,PPARα、PPARγ和PPARβ(PPARδ)的同源性分别为84.80%、86.23%和87.36%。这些研究结果反应了PPAR基因在进化过程中是保守的,并且不同的亚型在基因组成和功能上有一定的差异,它将有利于对PPAR基因与鹅生长及脂类代谢关系的进一步研究。

The peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) belongs to a large family of nuclear receptors. This study was designed to clone and sequence analysis of cDNA encoding PPAR from goose .The RT-PCR method was (developed) to clone the cDNA, and the lengths of cDNA encoding PPARαand PPARγwere1407bp and 1428bp (respectively.) The cDNAs of the two genes were cloned and sequenced for the first time. The identities of CDS of PPARαand PPARγgene were 87.43% and 92.00% by homologous comparison among goose and other five species, and that were 93.38% and 96.95% in amino acid sequences. The further analysis among seventeen species including goose showed that the identities of PPAR genes were low(66.18%) among different sub-type (α、γ、β) of PPAR genes and that was high for the same sub-type of PPAR genes: PPARα、PPARγ and PPARβ(or PPARδ)were 84.80%、86.23% and 87.36% respectively. The results showed that these two genes are conservative in the process of evolution and has important physiological function for the growth and development of birds and mammals. The results of the present study will benefit the further study of relationship between PPAR genes and the growth and development, especially in fat metabolism of goose.
