幼叶黄化油菜突变体Cr3529中Toc33 cDNA的克隆和序列分析

 分别提取甘蓝型油菜幼叶黄化突变体Cr3529和野生型近等基因系3529幼叶期总RNA,反转录合成cDNA,根据拟南芥Toc33基因的编码区序列设计引物,RT-PCR扩增出叶绿体外膜转运机器构件蛋白基因Toc33。扩增产物与T载体连接,转化E.coli。获得cDNA克隆,分别命名为BnToc33-c和BnToc33,长度均为894 bp,与拟南芥Toc33cDNA有着较高的同源性。突变油菜Cr3529与野生型3529在Toc33的基因序列上有3处碱基存在差异,均为错义突变,其中一处位于TOC33蛋白的跨膜区域

Molecular Cloning and Sequence Analysis of the Toc33 cDNA in Brassica napus Line Cr3529

Two primers, designed according to the Arabidoposis thaliana Toc33 sequence, were used to amplify the full coding region of the Toc33 cDNAs in leaves of a chlorophyll-reduced (Cr) mutant Cr3529 and its wild type 3529, Brassica napus, by RT-PCR technique. The RT-PCR results showed that the fragment homologous to Toc33 was expressed in Cr3529 as well as 3529 seedlings. PCR fragments were inserted into the pMD18-T vector and transferred into E. coli, then two cDNA clones, BnToc33-c and BnToc33, were obtained. Sequence analysis showed that the two sequences were 894 bp and the nucleotide and the deduced amino acid sequences were highly homologous to those of A. thaliana. There were three diverged nucleotides between the Cr3529 and the 3529 Toc33 cDNAs, i.e, GGT/AGT, TTG/TTT, AGG/AGT, all which belonged to missense mutation. The amino acid replacement (Leu/Phe) caused by TTG/TTT mutation located in the membrane anchor domain may result in chlorophyll-reduced character in Cr3529.
