为了研究小麦谷氨酰胺合成酶(Glutamine synthetase,GS)的功能,利用RACE及RT-PCR技术克隆了小麦GSl(GenBank登录号:HQ840647)和GS2(GenBank登录号:JF894116)基因的全长cDNA.小麦GS1的cDNA全长为1494bp,GS2的cDNA全长为1631bp,并利用生物信息软件对GS1和GS2的基因序列以及所表达的蛋白特性进行了分析.利用半定量PCR和Western-bolt技术分别分析了小麦苗期叶片发育过程中GS同工酶基因转录和表达特点,结果表明,GS1在叶片开始衰老时转录和表达水平较高,GS2从叶片伸长期到定长期转录和表达水平最高.
In order to study the function of glutamine synthetase (GS) in wheat, the full-length cDNA of GS1 and GS2 were cloned by RACE and RT-PCR (The accession number of GS1 is HQ840647, and GS2 is JF894116). The full length cDNA of GS1 is 1 494 bp and that of GS2 is 1 631 bp. The se-quences and protein characteristics of GS1 and GS2 were analyzed with the biological software. Semi-quantitative PCR and western-blot were used to demonstrate the transcriptional and expressional levels of GS genes in wheat leaf during seedling stage, and the results showed that both levels of GS1 got high-er when the leaf began to senescence while both levels of GS2 kept the highest from the leaf expanding stage to the full expansion stage.
