Cloning of UGPase is a premise for further study on molecular level, and it is also crucial for study of carbohydrate metabolism. UGPase cDNA sequence as a template, designed primer, then 3＇-untranslate region （3＇ UTR） of UGPase were amplified by 3＇-rapid amplification of cDNA ends （3＇-RACE）. The results suggested the 3＇ UTR were 243 bp, contained AATAA sequence and Poly（A）.展开更多

Using rattus norvegicus CD72 gene probes were used to hybridize analysis of CD72 difference expression in the Microtus fortis liver tissues which were infected with Schistosoma japonicum before and after being infected. At the same time, the cDNA sequence and encoded amino acid sequence of the rattus norvegicus CD72 gene and CD72 protein structural domains were analyzed by using bioinformatics. The results showed that the CD72 expression levels in the liver tissue of Microtus fortis after being infected was significantly higher than before being infected. The rattus norvegicus CD72 cDNA sequence of a total length is 1479 bp and encode 364 amino acid residues and rattus norvegicus CD72 protein containing a CD72 superfamily domain.展开更多

Two expression vectors containing cDNA sequences of bkt and bch were constructed and co-transformed into cell-wall-deficient Chlamydomonas reinhardtii CC-849. Transgenic algae were screened on TAP agar plates containing 10 gg mL 1 Zeomycin. PCR-Southern analysis showed that bkt and bch were integrated into the genomes of C. reinhardtii. Transcripts of bkt and bch were further confirmed by RT-PCR-Southern analysis. Compared with the wild type, transgenic algae produced 29.04% and 30.27% more carotenoids and xanthophylls, respectively. Moreover, the transgenic algae could accumulate 34% more astaxanthin than wild type. These results indicate that foreign bkt and bch genes were successfully translated into β-carotene ketolase and β-carotene hydroxylase, which were responsible for catalyzing the biosynthesis of astaxanthin in transgenic algae.展开更多
