MYB类蛋白是一类与植物防卫反应有关的转录因子家族,本研究利用构建的甜橙健株与感染黄龙病的病株差减(SSH)文库,采用RACE技术克隆了一个MYB类基因的cDNA全长序列,命名为CsMYB(GenBank登录号为HQ841074)。柑橘CsMYB基因的cDNA全长为1 306 bp,生物信息学分析显示,该基因包括一个909 bp的完整开放读码框以及一个典型的26 bp poly-A,编码302个氨基酸,分子量为32.97 kD,等电点为8.5。同时,还有MYB类基因的保守特征区域,即在N端有两个典型的MYB DNA结合域:R2和R3。实时荧光定量PCR分析表明,柑橘CsMYB基因受到黄龙病菌侵染后的不同时期表达量不同,伴随着黄龙病病程的变化呈现不同的表达变化。推测CsMYB基因是一个转录因子,可能参与柑橘对黄龙病菌的防御反应过程。
In the present study,according to the results of Citrus sinensis SSH library analysis,primers of one up-regulation expressed EST sequence were designed,a MYB type gene was cloned by rapid amplification of cDNA ends(RACE).This gene was named as CsMYB,and submitted in GenBank(accession No.HQ841074).The full-length cDNA sequence of CsMYB is 1306bp,including an open reading frame(ORF) of 909bp and the typical 26bp poly-A.Bioinformatics analysis showed that the gene putatively encodes a protein which has 302 amino acids with molecular weight 32.97kD,and its theoretical pI is 8.5.The CsMYB gene contains two typical conserved motifs: R2 and R3.The gene expression profile under the treatment of Ca.Liberibacter asiaticus(Las) was investigated by Real-time qPCR.The results showed that CsMYB gene expression varied at different times infected by Las,and was different in huanglongbing development progresses.Therefore,the CsMYB gene is speculated to be a transcription factor and possibly to be involved in the procedure induced defense of Las.
