为了获得香蕉抗逆相关基因,通过随机克隆测序和RACE(rapid-amplification of cDNA ends)的方法从香蕉根系cDNA文库中获得3个谷胱甘肽硫转移酶基因,命名为MaGSTU1、MaGSTU2和MaGSTU3(GenBank登录号分别为:KC261934、KC261935和KC261936)...为了获得香蕉抗逆相关基因,通过随机克隆测序和RACE(rapid-amplification of cDNA ends)的方法从香蕉根系cDNA文库中获得3个谷胱甘肽硫转移酶基因,命名为MaGSTU1、MaGSTU2和MaGSTU3(GenBank登录号分别为:KC261934、KC261935和KC261936)。经5′RACE获得3个GST基因全长,分别包含1个627、675和699 bp的最大开放阅读框(Open Reading Frame,ORF),分别编码208、224和232个氨基酸的蛋白质。蛋白质序列同源比对发现其含有完整的GST_N_Tau和GST_C_Tau结构域。系统发育树显示所有Tau类GST基因聚成一大支,充分说明本研究克隆的3个基因为Tau类GST基因。这些结果为进一步分析该类基因的功能和今后香蕉抗逆分子育种提供了基础资料。展开更多
