Cloning,Sequence Analysis and Amino Acid Structure Prediction of TLR9 Gene from Wild Ovis ammon in Xinjiang

[目的]克隆鉴定新疆天山亚种野生盘羊Toll样受体9(TLR9)基因,预测其结构与功能,并对序列进行分析。[方法]以外周血液的总DNA为模板,运用PCR方法分3段克隆了新疆野生盘羊TLR9基因,PCR产物经凝胶回收纯化后测序,并运用分子生物学软件将测序结果进行分析及结构预测。[结果]克隆得到的新疆野生盘羊TLR9基因大小是3 192 bp,含1个完整的开放阅读框(ORF),共编码1 064个氨基酸,其氨基酸组成中亮氨酸的含量高达18.51%,含有30个氨基酸的信号肽序列;在野生盘羊TLR9蛋白455～4757、40～760和780～800位氨基酸有3个跨膜区;新疆野生盘羊TLR9蛋白的3D结构是由胞外段富含亮氨酸的重复序列(LRR)和胞内段TIL(Toll/IL IR)结构域构成的。[结论]上述结构特征为TLR9发挥生物学功能奠定了基础,同时也为进一步研究新疆野生盘羊TLR9基因提供了理论依据。

[Objective] The study aimed at cloning and identifying the toll receptor gene 9（TLR9） of wild Ovis ammon in Xinjiang,and predicting its structure and function.[Method] The TLR9 complete sequence of wild Ovis ammon was cloned from its peripheral blood by PCR technology.Then the PCR products were purified by agarose gel electrophoresis and then sequenced.Finally,the structure and function of TLR9 sequence were predicted by molecular biological software.[Result] The complete sequence of TLR9 gene was 3 192 bp in length,encoding 1 064 amino acids with a signal peptide composed of 30 amino acids;the leucine percentage reached as high as 18.5%.The TLR9 amino acid possibly contained three hydrophobic regions,at amino acids 455-475,740-760 and 780-800.The 3-D structure of TLR9 was constructed by the extracellular LRR domain and intracellular TIL domain（Toll/IL IR）.[Conclusion] The characteristics of TLR9 provided theoretical basis for further study on the TLR9 gene of wild Ovis ammon in Xinjiang.
