运用同源克隆的方法设计简并引物,通过3’和5’RACE技术,从蜘蛛抱蛋(Aspidistraelatior Bulme)中克隆了编码甘露糖结合集素(Aspidistra elatior Bulme Lectin,AEL)的全长cDNA序列.其cDNA全长为1149bp,包含930bp的开放阅读框,编码309个氨基酸的前体蛋白.前体蛋白经翻译后剪切成分子量分别为12.31kD和12.26kD两个成熟蛋白亚基(AEL—DOM1,AEL—DOM2).AEL—DOM1和AEL—DOM2分别具有两个和一个典型的甘露糖专一结合位点(QDNY).
The cDNA sequence of a mannose-binding lectin (AEL) of Aspidistra elatior Blume was cloned by the degenerate primers through RACE (rapid-amplification of cDNA ends) technology. The full-length cDNA was 1149 bp, and has a 930 bp open reading frame encoding a protein precursor with 309 amino acids. The protein precursor was processed to two subunits (AEL-DOM1, AEL- DOM2) with molecular weight 12.31 and 12.26 kD, respectively. There are two typical mannose-binding sites (QDNY) located in AEL-DOM1, and only one mannose-binding site located in AEL- DOM2.
