[Objective] Nearly 40 000 unique SAGE Tags of Bombyx mori were identified through serial analysis of gene expression technique. In order to understand the function of these Tags, one of them was selected to get the knowledge of the gene sequence and its expression profiles. [Method] Firstly, the SAGE Tag was elongated through GLGI to several hundreds base pair of EST; Secondly, through 3'RACE and 5'RACE, the full length gene sequence was obtained. Thirdly, the homology of the Tag corresponding sequence was analyzed with other species and a primary phylogenetic tree was constructed. In addition, the gene from various stage or tissue of Bombyx mori was amplified to achieve the gene expression profile in silkworm. Furthermore, the gene was cloned into E. coli to test its expression. [Result] The full length cDNA sequence with 794 bp of silkworm TCTP gene was obtained and the recombination protein was obtained through E. coli expression system. The RT-PCR expression tests indicated that the TCTP gene expressed in various tissues ofBombyx mori at different stages. [Conclusion] TCTP gene obtained from SAGE Tag is one of the important genes in silkworm. It does not have specific expression profiles at different stages. The results show that it is possible to get genes from SAGE tags for gene identification and expression study.
