Abstract:

In order to understand the biological characteristics of Dmrta1 gene and its physiological role in the growth and development of Silurus lanzhouensis,and to provide theoretical basis and technical support for the realization of full male S.lanzhouensis population production.Homologous cloning and cDNA terminal rapid cloning(RACE)techniques were used to obtain the full-length cDNA sequence of S.lanzhouensis Dmrta1.qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression characteristics of this gene in different tissues of S.lanzhouensis such as embryo development,larvae and juveniles,third instar hermaphroditic and third instar hermaphroditic.The results showed that the cDNA length of Dmrta1 gene was 1 415 bp and that of ORF was 1 158 bp,encoding 385 amino acids.SMART prediction showed that the gene belonged to a typical Dmrta subfamily protein with conserved DM and DMA domains.The sequence alignment and phylogenetic tree analysis showed that S.lanzhouensis and S.meridionalis had the highest similarity(95.47%) and were closely related.The results of tissue expression showed that Dmrta1 mRNA was expressed in all stages of unfertilized and embryonic development,and the highest expression was in unfertilized egg(P<0.05).In different developmental stages of S.lanzhouensis within 40 days after incubation,the expression of Dmrta1 mRNA in XX individuals was significantly higher than that in XY individuals,and rapidly reached the peak value on 35 days(P<0.05).The expression of Dmrta1 mRNA in the ovary and gills of female catfish of the third age was significantly higher than that in other tissues(P<0.05),and the expression in the ovary was significantly higher than that in the gills of male and female catfish.Except that the expression in the ovary was 47.07 times that in the sperms,there was no difference between male and female in other tissues.The expression characteristics of the third instar hermaphrodite and the third instar hermaphrodite were the same,and the egg expression was significantly higher than that of the gill and germ nest(P<0.05).These results indicated that Dmrta1 gene had parental genetic characteristics and belongs to the mother gene.This gene may play an important role in the process of sex differentiation,ovum formation and gill arch formation of S.lanzhouensis,and it has the same role in the gonads of both hermaphroditic and hermaphroditic S.lanzhouensis.
