对甘蔗(Saccharumofficinarum L.)叶片全长cDNA文库进行测序,获得了1个细胞质型苹果酸脱氢酶(cMDH)基因的全长cDNA序列,命名为Sc—cMDH。生物信息学分析表明,该基因全长1314bp,开放阅读框为999bp,编码332个氨基酸。Sc—cMDH与其他植物cMDH的氨基酸序列同源性高达86.5%~97.0%。Sc.cMDH包含典型的NAD结合基元T“GAAGQI”和催化基元1184WGNH’船,还有相当保守的6个半胱氨酸残基,因此推断该基因为细胞质型NAD—MDH。定量PCR分析结果表明,该基因在甘蔗叶片和根中的表达量高于茎。
A full-length cDNA sequence of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) cytosolic malate dehydrogenase (cMDH) gene, named as Sc-cMDH, was obtained from sugarcane full-length cDNA library by EST sequencing and bioinformatics analysis. The full-length of Sc-cMDH was 1314 bp with 999 bp open reading frame, encoding 332 amino acids. Sc-cMDH shared 86.5%-97.0% of amino acids with cMDH from other 9 species. Sc-cMDH contains typical NAD+ binding motif (THGAAGQ117) and catalytic motif (II84WGNH188). Real-time PCR analysis showed that the expression of Sc-cMDH was higher in leaves and roots than that in stems of sugarcane.
