摘要
Vertebrate RACK1 plays a key role in embryonic development. This paper described the cloning, phy- logenetic analysis and developmental expression of AmphiRACK1, the RACK1 homologous gene in amphioxus. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that amphioxus RACK1 was located at the base of verte- brate clade. AmphiRACK1 expression in lithium-treated embryos was also examined. During embryonic development, AmphiRACK1 was expressed strongly in cerebral vesicles, neural tubes and somites. In lithium-treated embryos, the segmental expression of AmphiRACK1 in somites became blurry and decreased. Its expression in cerebral vesicles and neural tubes was also weaker or disappeared. In the adult animal, AmphiRACK1 transcripts were detected in the epithelium of midgut diverticulus and gut, wheel organ, gill blood vessels and testis.
