为研究蛛丝蛋白编码基因和蛋白的组成结构模式、进化,并为蛛丝仿生提供更多的基因资源,运用3D/PCR(three-dimensional polymerase chain reaction)技术对大腹园蛛(A.ventricosus)Fosmid基因组文库进行主壶腹腺丝(MaSp1)编码基因的筛选,并对部分序列进行分析.通过筛选实验室前期构建的Fosmid文库获得含有MaSp1基因的阳性克隆Av11-19-5,通过shotgun测序得到MaSp1部分基因序列MaSp1RC.MaSp1RC长786bp,编码的262个氨基酸(AvMaSp1RC)可划分为保守的C端非重复区(CT)和重复区(Rep).Rep主要由poly-Ala,Glyx和GlyGlyx等模块组成,Ala和Gly含量占总氨基酸的78%;CT中参与形成离子键的氨基酸及helix 4上的疏水模块高度保守.研究结果为蛛丝蛋白二聚化及仿生学研究提供了更多的基因资源.
To research the spider silk protein coding gene architecture,protein modules and supply different kinds of gene resources for bio-mimicing spider silk,major ampullate spidroin gene-1(MaSp 1)gene is screened from an Araneus ventricosus(A.ventricosus)Fosmid gene library by 3D/PCR(three-dimensional polymerase chain reaction)technology and partial MaSp1 sequence is analyzed.By screening the Fosmid gene library,apositive clone containing the MaSp1 gene is obtained,termed Av11-19-5,which is now being sequenced,and partial MaSp1 coding gene,MaSp1 RC,has already been found out.MaSp1 RC is 786 bp in size and encodes 262 amino acids which can be divided into non-repetitive C terminal domain(CT)and repetitive domain(Rep).The Rep is mainly composed of poly-Ala,Glyxand GlyGlyx modules,in which Ala and Gly content is about 78%.In CT domain,amino acids involved in forming salt bridge and hydrophobic domain in elix 4are highly conserved.The study result supplies a new biomimetic gene resource,and gives a basis for working with spider silk protein coding gene architecture and dimerization.
