番茄果实特异性E8启动子的基因克隆与序列分析

Cloning and sequence analysis of tomato fruit-specific E8promoter from Lycopersicon esculentum(Zhongshu No.5)

目的获取番茄果实特异性E8启动子基因,为实现外源基因在转基因番茄中果实特异性表达做准备。方法培养中蔬5号(Zhongshu No.5)番茄幼苗, 采集叶片,用Omega公司的植物基因组提取试剂盒提取番茄基因组DNA;设计引物,从基因组中通过PCR扩增获得番茄果实特异性E81.1和E82.2启动子基因;克隆进pGEM-T载体,酶切鉴定;送上海基康公司测序;序列分析。结果从番茄基因组DNA中PCR扩增得到预期大小的启动子片段;构建重组pGEM-T-E81.1和pGEM-T-E82.2载体,经酶切证实具有与目标片段长度相符的插入片段;测序结果分析显示:番茄果实特异性E8启动子序列高度保守,所获得的Zhongshu No.5 E82.2启动子DNA序列与Deikman报道的Cherry种的E82.2启动子同源性为99%, 登陆GenBank, ID号为AF515784。结论成功获得Zhongshu No.5番茄果实特异性E81.1、E82.2启动子基因,为下一步转基因番茄口服疫苗的研制奠定了一定的工作基础。

Objective To obtain the gene encoding tomato fruit-specific E8 promoter therefore to prepare for exogenous gene transcription and expression in transgenic tomato fruit. Methods The cotyledons of tomato Lycopersicon esculentum(Zhongshu No.5) were collected for extracting the genomic DNA of this plant. The fruit-specific E81.1 and E82.2 promoter DNA were then amplified by PCR, the product of which was subcloned into pGEM-T vector. After identification by restriction enzymes, the recombinant T-vectors were subjected to sequence analysis. Results The fragments of the promoter as amplified by PCR were of predicted length. Digestion with XbaⅠand HindⅢ/BamHⅠproved correct insertion of the target fragments with expected length into the recombinant T vectors. As indicated by homology analysis, the resultant tomato fruit-specific E8 promoter was highly conservative, and E82.2 promoter of Zhongshu No.5, with GenBank submission number of AF515784, proved to share 99% homology with E82.2 promoter of Zhongshu No.5 Cherry as reported by Deikman J. Conclusion Tomato fruit-specific E8 promoter of Zhongshu No.5 has been successfully cloned, thus making possible the subsequent research in oral vaccine of transgenic tomato.
