Abstract: Cochliobolus lunatus is a destructive pathogen of foxtail millet and causes significant yield losses.A G protein alpha protein genes named cfga-J(Genbank accession number:HQ69908 1)was cloned using degenerate PCR and RACE method from Cochliobolus lunatus.The predicated C/as-J gene contains a 1062 bp ORF and it was interrupted by three small introns of 57,49,59 bp.The Ctga-J gene encodes a polypeptide of 353 amino acids and phylogenetic analysis showed CtgoL-1 gene was similarity to the Ga subunit of other fungi.The analysis of Southern bloting indicated that there was a single copy of Clgct-j gene in the genome.Clga-Z gene also contained conservative motifs among the Got protein family,such as sites for myristoylation at the N-terminus,ADP-ribosylation by pertussis toxin at the C-terminus.The cloning of the gene will lay afoundation for further functional analysis of heterotrimericG protein signal transduction pathway in Cochliobolus lunatus.

Key words: Cochliobolus lunatus, Heterotrimeric G protein, RACE, Equence analysis
