Abstract: In order to study the function and molecular mechanism of SREBP-1 and SREBP-2, the open reading frames (ORF) of torafugu SREBP-1 and SREBP-2 genes were amplified from total RNA of adipose tissue by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).The results showed that the ORF of SREBP-1 was composed of 3 330 bp,encoding 1 109 amino acids,while the ORF of SREBP-2 was composed of 3 444 bp,encoding 1 147 amino acids.The expression of SREBP-1 gene in torafugu tissues was determined using Real-time quantitative PCR,presenting that the highest expression was in brain,followed in eye,adipose tissue,spleen,gill,intestine,heart and liver,but the lowest in muscle.The prokaryotic expression system of recombined vector pET32a-SREBP-1 was constructed successfully.SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the expressed protein accumulated and the molecular weight of expressed fusion protein was 141 kDa.

Key words: Takifugu rubripes, SREBP-1 gene, SREBP-2 gene, Prokaryotic expression
