摘要
测定和分析霍乱弧菌分型噬菌体VP3基因组序列,并为ElTor型霍乱弧菌两类菌株的分型方法原理提供研究基础。鸟枪法构建VP3噬菌体全基因组随机文库;测序拼接成最小重叠群,引物步移法填补缝隙序列,拼接后获得VP3全基因组序列。PCR随机扩增噬菌体DNA片段并酶切鉴定;预测可能存在的开放读码框(ORF);对VP3和相关噬菌体的DNA聚合酶基因作进化树分析,协助判定VP3的分类;对预测的部分启动子区利用报道基因进行活性分析。VP3全基因组为环状双链DNA,长度39504bp;酶切鉴定结果与序列一致。确定了49个ORF,注释了27个ORF的编码产物,其中有20个基因产物与T7样噬菌体同源,包括RNA聚合酶(RNAP)、参与DNA复制的蛋白、衣壳蛋白、尾管及尾丝蛋白、DNA包装蛋白等。DNA聚合酶(DNAP)进化树分析表明VP3与T7样噬菌体有同源性。将预测的10个启动子序列克隆到lacZ融合质粒pRS1274上,经检测均具有启动子活性。测定和分析VP3的基因组序列,基因组结构与进化树分析提示VP3属于T7噬菌体家族。
DNA sequence and the genome of phage VP3 (a typing phage of V. cholera) were analyzed. A random library of VP3 DNA was constructed by shot-gun library method. The VP3 genome sequence was assembled with contigs sequences, the gaps between different contigs were filled with sequencing data from primer walking. ORFs were predicted ; Phylogeny of DNA polymerase sequences was analyzed to determine the class of VP3 ; The activity of putative promoter genes were analyzed using lacZ report system. VP3 genome is a 39504bp of circular double-stranded DNA. Twenty-seven out of forty-nine putative ORFs were annotated; twenty gene products were homologous with T7-like phages, including DNAP, DNA replicative protein, capsid, tail tubular, tail fiber protein, and DNA packaged protein. The activity of the putative promoter regions was confirmed through cloning those regions to LacZ-fuse plasmid pRS1274 and analysis of the expression of beta galactosidase. The complete genomic sequence of VP3 and phylogenetic tree analysis suggests VP3 is a member of T7 phage family.
