利用RT-PCR和RACE技术,从新疆栽培扁桃‘鹰嘴’花药中获得了一个全长的SFB(S-hap-lotype-specific F-boxgene)基因(GenBank登录号为FJ362525),命名为AcSFBd。该基因全长1125bp,编码374个氨基酸,在N末端含有一个大约50个氨基酸组成的F-box基序,含有两个高变区(Hva和Hvb)和两个可变区(V1和V2)。生物信息学的方法成功预测了AcSFBd蛋白分子质量为43kD,为亲水性、非分泌型蛋白,在基质内起连接酶(EC6.-.-.-)的作用。成功构建了原核表达载体,并转化大肠杆菌BL21(DE3),SDS-PAGE检测结果显示表达了一个约60kD的蛋白。
Style S-determinants have been determined to be S-RNase and the SFB (S-haplotype-specific F-box gene) alleles are considered to be the first candidates of the pollen S-determinants. A total length SFB gene ( GenBank accession No. FJ362525) named AcSFBd was cloned with RT-PCR and RACE technolgy from the anther of almond Yingzui planted in Xinjiang. AcSFBd was 1 125 bp in length encoding a protein of 374 amino acids. This gene encoded proteins with the F-box motif in the N-amino terminus, and with four (hyper) variable regions, i e. , V1, V2, Hva and Hvb which were similar with S-RNase genes, considered to be recognition site between SFB and S-RNase. With the bioinformatics analysis, the AcSFBd protein was 43 kD, was instable, hydrophilicity and non-secretory protein and had ligase enzyme activity. After transformed to Escherichia coli BL21 and induced by isopropyl-13-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) , recombinant protein about 60 kD was expressed in pET-AcSFB system and separated by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis.
