[Method] The total proteins of the pistillate flowers of two mulberry cultivars Dal0 (Morus atropurpurea Roxb.) and SG01 (Morus muIticaulis Perr.) were extracted, separated and detected through two- dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and mass spectrometry. [Result] There was sig- nificant difference in the expression of proteins from the pistillate flowers of different mulberry cultivars. From the 2-DE images of Dal0 and SG01, 445_+17 and 425_+12 protein spots were respectively detected. The expression levels of 75 protein spots differed significantly. Thirteen spots those were expressed at high levels and well separated were analyzed by mass spectrometry, and nine of them were identified successfully. The nine proteins are involved in the glycometabolism, protein and amino acid metabolism and defense responses during the development of mulberry pistillate flower after they were pollinated. [Conclusion] The findings will provide reference for further study on the molecular mechanism of mulberry pistillate flower de- velopment.展开更多

Using Rattus norvegicus CD36 gene probe to hybridize analysis of CD36 difference expression in the Microtus fortis liver tissues which were infected with Schistosorna japonicum before and after being infected. At the same time, the cDNA sequence and encoded amino acid sequence of the Rattus norvegicus CD36 gene and CD36 protein structural domains were analysized by using bioinformatics. The results showed that the CD36 expression levels in the liver tissue of Microtus fortis after being infected were significantly higher than before being infectied. The Rattus norvegicus CD36 cDNA sequence of a total length is 1625 bp and encoded 472 amino acid residues and Rattus norvegicus CD36 protein containing a CD36 superfamily domain.展开更多

The molecular mechanisms responsible for this change are poorly understood. As an initial step to clarify these mechanisms, we used representational difference analysis of cDNA for the identification of genes active during metamorphosis in the Japanese flounder, Paralichthys olicaceus. One of the up-regulated genes was identified as creatine kinase muscle type 1 (CK-M1). Sequence analysis of CK-M1 revealed that it spanned 1 708 bp and encoded a protein of 382 amino acids. The overall amino acid sequence of the CK-M1 was highly conserved with those of other organisms. CK-M1 was expressed in adult fish tissues, including skeletal muscle, intestine and gill. Whole mount in-situ hybridization showed that the enhanced expression of CK-M1 expanded from the head to the whole body of larvae as metamorphosis progressed. Quantitative analysis revealed stage-specific high expression of CK-M1 during metamorphosis. The expression level of CK-M1 increased initially and peaked at metamorphosis, decreased afterward, and finally returned to the pre-metamorphosis level. This stage-specific expression pattern suggested strongly that CK-M1 was related to metamorphosis in the Japanese flounder. Its specific role in metamorphosis requires further study.展开更多
