Total RNA isolatedfrom the serum was used as template, and the cDNAof the 5’ untranslated region was amplified using rap-id amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). The frag-ments were recombinated by A-T clone strategy, andthe recombinants were confirmed by RFLP andPCR, and sequenced subsequently. Secondary struc-tures were analysed by RNAdraw.Results: Very end full-length cDNA of genotype 2aHCV 5’ UTR was obtained by RACE. In five clonesobtained, three contained full-length 5’UTR cDNA;A21G, G170A, T222C, T247C, C339T substitutionswere found as compared to HC-J6. Homological re-sults of HCV-1, HC-J6, HC-C2, HC-J8 were 93.6%-94.4%, 92.1%-93%, 98.8%-99.7%, 96.2%-96.5%, respectively; however, the substitutions didnot alter secondary structure. Two of 5 clones weredeletions of 53bp and 135bp at the 5’terminal ofHCV 5’UTR, respectively.Conclusions: RACE can be used to obtain the full-length cDNA of 2a genotype HCV 5’UTR. Genes de-leted at the 5’ terminal of HCV circulate in hepatitisC patients.展开更多

Compared with the anchored PCR RACE, inverse PCR RACE has better specificity and higher amplification.展开更多
利用RT-PCR和cDNA末端快速扩增技术(rapid amplification of cDNA ends,RACE)克隆了黄颡鱼DMRT1基因cDNA全长序列,并利用实时荧光定量RT-PCR技术对该基因在黄颡鱼成体不同组织及不同发育阶段的表达情况进行研究。结果表明,黄颡鱼DMRT1基...利用RT-PCR和cDNA末端快速扩增技术(rapid amplification of cDNA ends,RACE)克隆了黄颡鱼DMRT1基因cDNA全长序列,并利用实时荧光定量RT-PCR技术对该基因在黄颡鱼成体不同组织及不同发育阶段的表达情况进行研究。结果表明,黄颡鱼DMRT1基因cDNA序列全长1 381bp,其中5′端非翻译区30bp,3′端非翻译区454bp[不包括poly(A)],开放阅读框885bp,编码295个氨基酸。氨基酸序列同源性分析表明,黄颡鱼DMRT1基因与革胡子鲶同源性最高(为81%),与黑鲷、虹鳟、斑马鱼、青鳉的同源性分别为60%、59%、64%和52%,与小鼠、人的同源性较低,分别为42%和44%。实时荧光定量RT-PCR分析表明:DMRT1基因在黄颡鱼胚胎发育阶段及胚后发育的1～51d仔鱼均有表达,且在胚后发育的第31天表达量最高;在成体,只在雄性精巢中特异性表达,其他组织均无表达,且性腺发育阶段的Ⅳ期精巢表达量最高,表明该基因可能在黄颡鱼雄性性腺的形成或功能维持上具有重要作用。展开更多
