摘要: 根据糖海带(Laminaria saccharina)光捕获蛋白基因lhcf4的cDNA全长序列(GenBank登录号:AF226860)设计引物,通过RT-PCR方法获得海带(Saccharina japonica)配子体lhcf4基因的cDNA全长序列,共1 042 bp,编码一个含218个氨基酸的前体蛋白lhcf4,推测分子量为23.11 kDa,等电点为5.36。与其同源基因相似度分析表明,lhcf基因的开放阅读框(Open reading frame,ORF)在家族内及物种间高度保守,变异主要发生在非翻译区(Untranslated re-gion,UTR)。预测lhcf4成熟蛋白三级结构存在4个α螺旋区,其中第一、三螺旋较长,形成跨膜螺旋,第二个螺旋相对较短,完全镶嵌在膜中,另外一个为短螺旋,位于类囊体膜-类囊体腔界面上。杂色藻类、绿藻及豌豆光捕获蛋白氨基酸多序列比对显示叶绿素a结合位点及盐桥形成氨基酸残基在植物进化中高度保守;将预测的海带lhcf4蛋白3D结构与豌豆X-衍射晶体结构进行空间重叠,获得了结合在lhcf4蛋白上的5个叶绿素a的空间分布。Neighbor-joining分子进化树显示原绿球藻、绿藻和杂色藻类的光捕获蛋白基因是三个独立进化的系统,共同起源于蓝细菌的只结合叶绿素a的光捕获蛋白;海带lhcf4基因与糖海带lhcf4及巨藻的fcpb基因为直系同源;糖海带lhcf4、lhcf7及lhcF1基因为旁系同源。实时荧光定量PCR结果证实lhcf4基因具有雌、雄配子体差异表达特征。

Abstract: lhcf4gene full length cDNA of Saccharina japonicawas cloned by using RT-PCR technique with primers designed based on Laminaria saccharinalhcf4full length cDNA sequence(accession number: AF226860). Its ORF encoded a precursor protein containing 218 amino acids with a molecular weight of 23. 11 kDa and an isoelectric point of 5. 36. ORFs of lhcf4gene and its homologs were conserved,while their UTRs were diverse according to results of similarity analysis. The predicted 3D structure of lhcf4contained 4 α-helixes in which the first and third helix were transmembrane helices, the second one was a little shorter and embedded in the thylakoid membrane, the fourth one was a short helix on the lumenal side. Chlorophyll a binding sites and amina acid residues forming salt-bridge between the first and third helix were conserved in chromophytes,green algae and higher plants. The spatial distribution of chlorophyll a in lhcf4protein was determined by overlapping its 3D structure with Xray diffraction structure of pea LHC-II monomer at 2. 5 resolution. The Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree constructed by MEGA4. 0 revealed three significantly different lineages from lhc genes: chromophytes,green alga and prochlorococcus,which might be have the same ancestor from cyanobacteria. Otherwise, it also revealed that lhcf4genes of S. japonicaand L. saccharina, fcpb gene of Macrocystis pyrifera were orthologs while lhcf4, lhcF1and lhcF7 genes of L. saccharina were Paralogs. Real-time PCR results confirmed that lhcf4gene of S. japonicadifferentially expressed between in female and male gametophytes.
