The coat protein (CP) genes of five PRSV isolates originating from different locations in China were cloned and sequenced. The CP-coding region varied in size from 864-873 nucleotides, encoding proteins of 288-291 amino acids. The five Chinese isolates of PRSV have been characterized as papaya-infecting (PRSV-P). The CP sequences of the Chinese isolates were compared with those of previously published PRSV isolates originating from different countries at amino acid levels. A number of KE repeat boxes in the N terminus of the PRSV-CP were found in all Chinese isolates. The phylogenetic branching pattern revealed that there was certain extended grouping between geographic locations, and the Asian type probably represents the oldest population of PRSV. The information of CP genes will be useful in designing and developing durable virus resistant-PRSV transgenic papaya in China. Meanwhile broad-spectrum-virus resistant, strongly resistant-PRSV and good safe papaya lines are required.展开更多

文摘以马铃薯普通栽培种"甘农薯2号"块茎为材料,利用RNA提取试剂盒提取总RNA,通过RT-PCR技术和DNA序列测定分析,证实获得了马铃薯颗粒结合淀粉合成酶(GBSS I)基因的cDNA序列。该cDNA全长1824bp,包括607个氨基酸和1个终止密码子序列,且与原序列(accession number X58453)同源性为99.78%,但与其他科植物GBSS基因的同源性较低,注册该基因到GenBank中,注册号为EU403426。利用生物信息学相关软件分析预测GBSS I基因cDNA序列编码的蛋白质功能和结构,结果发现,该蛋白与其他15种植物GBSS蛋白一样,具有3个完全保守区域,并具许多重要功能位点,且与农杆菌淀粉合成酶具有相似三级结构模型,表明该蛋白具淀粉合成功能。
