Methods： The single strand antisense transcription system containing mt-p53 exon 8 sequence （pGEM3zf（＋/-）p53exon8） was constructed. The ligation of antisense RNAwith mt-p53 gene was confirmed by in situ hybridization; MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cells were transfected with ASp53exon8＇RNA cotionic liposome-mediated. Expression of mt-p53 protein was examined by immunocytochemical staining and Western blot. Cell proliferation was evaluated by MTT assay; Cell cycle distribution was determined by flow cytometry （FCM）; Apoptosis was observed by TUNEL. Results： In transfected MDA-MB-231 cells, hybridization signals were observed in cytoplasm. ASp53exon8＇RNA transfection induced inhibition of cell proliferation, G2/M phase arrest and increasing apoptotic rates. In addition, expression of p53 protein was down-regulated. Conclusion： pGEM3zf（＋/-）p53exon8 was well constructed and ASp53exon8＇RNA can block mt-p53 gene expression specifically and then inhibit MDA-MB-231 cell proliferation in vitro, which may serve as therapeutic means for human malignancy.展开更多

Its cDNA sequence （2094 bp） contains an opening reading frame （ORF） encoding a 569 amino acids protein （63.2 kD）. OsCaMBP has the typical structural features of the CaMBP family, including the conserved IQ calmodulin-binding motif at the N-terminus. Homology analysis revealed 38.25%-47.28% identities of OsCaMBP with other CaMBPs in plants. RT-PCR analysis showed that the expression of OsCaMBP was remarkably inducible under the chilling （8℃） and heat-shock （42℃） treatments. OsCaMBP was undetectable under the normal conditions, and induced under the chilling treatment for 1 h, as well as the heat-shock treatment for 15 min, suggesting that the gene plays important roles in the signaling pathway in rice under both chilling and heat-shock stresses.展开更多
非特异性脂质转移蛋白(nsLTP,non-specific lipid transfer proteins)在植物脂质转运和分泌中发挥重要作用。本研究从薰衣草(Lavandula angustifolia)中克隆到2个II型nsLTP基因,命名为nsLTP2-1和nsLTP2-2,并对其进行功能分析。生信分析...非特异性脂质转移蛋白(nsLTP,non-specific lipid transfer proteins)在植物脂质转运和分泌中发挥重要作用。本研究从薰衣草(Lavandula angustifolia)中克隆到2个II型nsLTP基因,命名为nsLTP2-1和nsLTP2-2,并对其进行功能分析。生信分析表明,nsLTP2-1和ns LTP2-2分别编码119个和117个氨基酸,具有脂转移蛋白(LTP,lipid transfer proteins)保守结构域和8个高度保守的半胱氨酸残基;系统进化分析显示它们处于两个分支,与同科的紫苏(Perilla frutescens)相似性最高。基因表达分析显示2个基因均在花蕾中高表达,在叶片、茎和花瓣中几乎不表达,在花萼中的表达存在差异,nsLTP2-1和nsLTP2-2分别在成熟花萼和幼嫩花萼中表达量更高;2个基因在花蕾和叶片中的表达均受到强光诱导,且在花蕾中的表达均受脱落酸诱导,而叶片中nsLTP2-1和nsLTP2-2的表达分别受茉莉酸甲酯和乙烯诱导。亚细胞定位显示2个nsLTPs均定位在细胞膜和细胞壁上,可能与次生代谢物的转运有关。过表达nsLTP2-1和nsLTP2-2烟草叶片经尼罗红染色后,经485~543 nm激发光激发,叶片腺毛头部的荧光显示多于野生型,说明本研究中的nsLTPs可能在脂类的合成和转运中起重要作用。这些结果为明确薰衣草脂转移蛋白在脂类及萜类转运中的功能研究提供了参考。展开更多

An open reading frame coding precursor protein of cab gene was cloned from the first strand of bamboo cDNA through RT-PCR methods,and named as cab-PhE1 (cab gene 1 from Phyllostachys edulis EF207229). The sequence analysis showed that the deduced polypeptide was highly homologous to some other CAB proteins from monocotyledon,and the gene belonged to lhcb2 family. Tissue specific expression showed that cab-PhE1 expressed higher in leaf than sheath and stem. The prokaryotic expression vector of cab-PhE1 gene encoding the mature protein was constructed by subcloning the fragment into pET-23 a and was expressed in Escherichia coli induced by IPTG. The molecular weight of the induced protein was about 28 ku,approximate to that of the mature protein. This work is a key to the further research on in vitro reconstitution of light-harvesting Chl a/b complexes.展开更多
