目的测定并分析湖北钉螺(Oncomelania hupensis)线粒体基因组全序列。方法利用特异引物和通用引物分别扩增湖北钉螺线粒体细胞色素C氧化酶Ⅰ(COⅠ)、细胞色素b(Cytb)、16SrRNA(16S)和细胞色素C氧化酶Ⅲ(COⅢ)基因片段,在此基础上利用长PCR技术扩增上述4个基因间的长片段,纯化克隆后采用引物步移法测序。结果湖北钉螺线粒体基因组全序列为15182bp(GenBank登记号为FJ997214),为闭合环状分子,A+T含量为67.3%;包括13个蛋白基因、22个tRNA基因、2个RNA基因和一段72bp的A+T富集区;蛋白质编码基因均以ATG为启动子,除呼吸链NADH脱氢酶的第一亚单位(ND1)基因以潜在的T作为终止密码子外,其余基因均以典型的TAA或TAG为终止子;基因重叠区有2处,分别为4bp和7bp;基因间隔区共21处合计145bp,长度范围为1~30bp;22个tRNA中,除2个tRNASer和tRNAGln、tRNAIle以外均能形成典型的二级结构。结论获得了湖北钉螺的线粒体基因组全序列。
Objective To sequence and analyze the complete nucleotide sequence of the mitochondrial genome of Oncomelania hupensis. Methods Four long fragments were amplified by long PCR using the primers designed based on mtDNA-COⅠ, Cytb, 16S rRNA and COⅢ gene sequences, and sequenced by conserved primer-walking. Rusults The mitochondrial genome (GenBank accession no. FJ997214) was a circular molecule of 15 182 bp with a total A+T content of 67.32%, and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 tRNA genes, and an A+T-rich region of 72 bp. All 13 protein-coding genes of the O. hupensis mtDNA used ATG as start codon. Canonical TAA and TAG termination codons were found in 12 protein-coding genes, and the remaining one (ND1) had an incomplete termination codon (T). Two short gene overlaps were found with a length of 4 bp and 7 bp, respectively. The length of 21 total intergenic region of mtDNA was 145 bp ranging from 1-30 bp. A total of 22 transferring RNA were found, all of which were typical cloverleaf structure except for two tRNA^Ser, one tRNA^Gln and one tRNA^Ile. Conclusion The complete sequence of O. hupensis mitochondrial genome has been determined.
