For Amur sturgeon, the encoded amino acid sequences exhibited 98%, 98%, 98%, 86% of sequence homology with those reported for human SOX HMG box, respectively, and for chum salmon, the encoded amino acid sequences exhibited 93%,98%,98%,98%,96% of sequence homology with those reported for human SOX HMG box, respectively. Two different forms of Sox9 gene in chum salmon were found, and Sox9 contained a 303 bp and 258 bp introns in the HMG box for chum salmon respectively while 572 bp for Amur sturgeon. No clear similarity was observed between the introns in the Sox9 HMG box of different fishes, but the introns occur in the HMG box region between the second and third bases of the codon for arginine at residue 42 in HMG box for the three fishes, and obey the rule of “GT AG”. and the encoded amino acid sequences in the three Sox9 genes HMG box are very conservative in the two fishes (100% identification). Identification of these genes is a potential step in understanding development regulations including sex determination in Amur sturgeon.展开更多
SRY基因(sex-determining region of the Y chromosome)是人类及哺乳动物睾丸决定因子TDF(testisdetermining factor)的最佳候选基因。SRY蛋白含有204个氨基酸,其中1个约79个氨基酸区域即HMG盒(high mobility group box)是SRY基因编码...SRY基因(sex-determining region of the Y chromosome)是人类及哺乳动物睾丸决定因子TDF(testisdetermining factor)的最佳候选基因。SRY蛋白含有204个氨基酸,其中1个约79个氨基酸区域即HMG盒(high mobility group box)是SRY基因编码蛋白质的唯一功能区。由于SRY的发现,人们进而发现了1个庞大的与性别决定有关的SRY盒-Sox(SRY-related HMG box gene)基因家族。锯缘青蟹是我国重要的海洋经济蟹类之一,其性染色体和性别决定机制仍处于进化的早期阶段,在分子水平上探讨其性别决定机制尚不多见。通过采用PCR技术,以特异扩增人SRY基因HMG盒保守区的1对兼并引物,扩增了锯缘青蟹基因组的Sox基因。结果表明锯缘青蟹雌雄个体与人一样,均能扩增出1条大小约为216bp左右的基因片段,显示出该基因在进化上的高度保守性,为探索锯缘青蟹的性别决定机制及Sox基因的进化提供了分子资料。展开更多
