尼罗罗非鱼、萨罗罗非鱼及其杂交子代的催乳素I基因克隆及序列分析

本研究采用RT-PCR方法对生长快、耐盐性弱的尼罗罗非鱼(Oreochromis niloticus),耐盐性强、生长慢的萨罗罗非鱼(Sarotherodon melanotheron)以及生长与耐盐均较优的杂交子代(O.niloticus ♀早×S. melanotheron ♂)的催乳素PRLI基因cDNA序列片段进行了克隆与序列分析,以探讨罗非鱼耐盐性的分子机制,分析和筛选与耐盐性相关的基因.主要结果:(1)序列克隆及ClustalX1.83分析表明克隆所得cDNA序列长度为339 bp,编码112个氨基酸.(2)3种罗非鱼PRLI的cDNA具有高度的保守性,核苷酸序列同源性介于97.94%～99.71%之间,氨基酸序列同源性均在99.11%以上,表明罗非鱼的PRLI基因具有高度保守性.(3)杂交子代同尼罗罗非鱼的cDNA序列相比有5个碱基的变异,变异比例为1.47%;同萨罗罗非鱼相比有1个碱基的变异,变异比例为0.30%.(4)尼罗罗非鱼推导氨基酸序列中第80位氨基酸残基为脯氨酸残基(P),而杂交子代和萨罗罗非鱼在该位点均为丝氨酸残基(S).(5)MEGA4系统进化树分析显示,杂交子代同萨罗罗非鱼聚为1支.结果(3)、(4)、(5)表明,在PRLI基因的表达方面,杂交子代同父本萨罗罗非鱼的关系较近.

PRLI gene cloning and sequence analysis of Oreochromis niloticus,Sarotherodon melanotheron and their hybrid

PRLI is an important osmoregulation hormone, which belongs to GH/PRL/SL hormone family. Its most important role in tilapia is to change the osmotic pressure of plasma through changing the activity of Na+-K+-ATPase. Through crossbreeding we got a new hybrid between Oreochromis niloticus and Sarotherodon melanotheron. The hybrid grows faster than the male parent and shows a stronger osmoregulation ability than the female parent. In order to explore the molecular mechanism of salinity tolerance of tilapia, lea...
