[Method] The Acer truncatum ‘Luhong No.1＇ cultivar was used as the material for cloning the MYB gene by mean of RTPCR and RACE-PCR. [Results] Sequence analysis showed that the fragment contained a full coding region of 831 bp encoding 276 amino acid residues with a molecular weight of 32.17 kD and a molecular formula C_（1430）H_（14052）N_（2247）O_（406）S_（14）. The gene was named as AtrMYB with a Gen Bank accession number of 1825712. This coded protein had apI of 9.44. The results showed that the AtrMYB exhibited typical features of the R2R3-MYB domain. The AtrMYB was highly homologous with the MYB of other species at nucleotide and amino acid levels. The AtrMYB had no signal peptide, but a nuclear localization signal. The phylogenetic tree showed that the AtrMYB was at the same clade as the MYB from Citrus sinensis. [Conclusion] The AtrMYB was cloned from Acer truncatum ‘Luhong No.1＇ cultivar. These results have provided a foundation for further purification and identification of target protein and function study of the AtrMYB.展开更多
