简介:MYB蛋白质在真核细胞的有机体起重要作用。在植物,R1R2R3类型MYB蛋白质在房间周期控制工作。然而,R2R3类型MYB蛋白质是否也涉及房间部门过程,仍然保持未知。这里,我们报导那R2R3类型抄写因素基因,AtMYB59,涉及房间周期前进和根生长的规定。AtMYB59蛋白质在洋葱的原子核是局部性的表皮的房间并且transactivation活动。在酵母房间的AtMYB59的表示压制房间增长,和transformants与更长的房间有更多的原子核和更高的aneuploidDNA内容。在AtMYB59的保存领域的变化在酵母细胞生长上废除它的效果。在同步Arabidopsis房间暂停,AtMYB59基因明确地在房间周期前进期间在S阶段被表示。表示和promoter-GUS分析表明AtMYB59基因富有地在根被表示。转基因的植物overexpressingAtMYB59更短的根与野类型的植物(Arabidopsis就职Col-0)相比,并且在在根尖端的有丝分裂的房间的一半附近在中期。相反地,空变异的myb59-1比关口在中期让更长的根和更少有丝分裂的房间,建议那AtMYB59可以由扩大有丝分裂的房间的中期禁止根生长。AtMYB59调整许多下游的基因,包括CYCB1;1基因,可能通过到MYB应答的元素的绑定。这些结果在细胞周期规定和植物根生长为AtMYB59支持一个角色。
简介:目的:构建4E—BPl及其T37A、T46A、$65A、T70A突变体4E—BPl-4A基因表达的重组慢病毒载体,研究其对胃癌HGC27细胞生长的影响。方法:PCR扩增4E—BPl基因及其突变体aE—BPl-4A基因并克隆到pCDH载体,构建成pCDH-4E—BPl、pCDit一4E—BPl—4A,将其-9包装载体共转染293T细胞,包装成Lenti-4E—BPl及Lenti-4E—BPl—4A重组慢病毒载体,将此慢病毒感染胃癌HGC27细胞,Western印迹鉴定病毒载体介导的4E—BPl、4E~BPl—4A蛋白的表达,MTT、克隆形成和软琼脂方法研究过量表达4E—BPl、4E—BPl—4A对胃癌HGC27细胞生长的影响。结果:包装成Lenti-4E—BPl及Lenti-4E—BPl—4A重组慢病毒载体,并将此慢病毒载体感染胃癌HGC27细胞;MTT、克隆形成、软琼脂实验表明过量表达4E—BP!可抑制胃癌HGC27细胞的生长,过量表达4E—BP!一4A时抑制效果更明显。结论:构建了4E—BPl、4E—BPI-4A的重组慢病毒表达载体,在胃癌HGC27细胞中过量表达4E—BPl可抑制细胞生长,过量表达4E—BPl-4A的抑制效果更明显。

简介:目的:通过检测藏獒黑素皮质激素受体1(MClR)基因的单链构象多态性(SSCP)在不同毛色群体中的分布,探讨MClR基因多态性与毛色表型的相关性。方法:采用DNA测序技术,选择不同毛色藏獒的DNA为样本,根据GenBank发布的荷斯坦牛MClR基因序列设计一对引物,采用PCR-SSCP技术分析MClR基因在藏獒中的SSCP。结果:MClR基因在藏獒中具有PCR-SSCP多态性,分别检测到3种基因型(AA、AB和BB);对MClR基因多态性片段DNA克隆测序后发现,MClR基因在编码区第313位存在单碱基突变(G-,A),该突变导致第105位氨基酸发生由丙氨酸向苏氨酸的改变(T105A)。结论:肘CJR基因的多态性与毛色性状不存在显著的相关性。
