| 摘要: |
| VASA 蛋白属于DEAD-box 家族蛋白, 是一种RNA 解旋酶, 在生殖细胞的分化中具有重要作用。本研究从脊尾白虾(Exopalaemon carinicauda)卵巢中克隆得到vasa 基因cDNA 全长(将其命名为Ec-vasa), Ec-vasa 序列长度为2516bp, 开放阅读框(ORF)长度为1800bp, 编码600 个氨基酸, 具有DEAD-box 家族蛋白的8 个高度保守的结构域, 与日本沼虾(Macrobrachium nipponense)的同源性最高(80%)。半定量RT-PCR 结果显示, Ec-vasa 在卵巢组织中特异表达, 在肌肉、肝胰腺、心脏和鳃等组织中均未检测到表达。荧光定量结果显示, Ec-vasa 在卵巢发育Ⅰ期具有较高表达量, 随着卵巢的发育, 表达量逐渐降低, 在第Ⅳ期达到最低水平。结果表明, Ec-vasa 基因可能在脊尾白虾卵巢的早期分化和卵子发生过程中起重要作用。 |

| Abstract: |
| The vasa gene encodes DEAD box family protein of ATP-dependent RNA helicase, and it plays a crucial role in primordial germ cell proliferation. In this report, a vasa gene was isolated from Exopalaemon and named Ec-vasal carinicauda using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) coupled with rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) approaches. The Ec-vasa cDNA sequence comprises 2516bp with an open reading frame of 1 800bp encoding 600 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence contains 8 conserved motifs of DEAD-box family protein. Comparisons in the deduced amino acid sequence with those of other invertebrates revealed the highest homology (80%) with Macrobrachium nipponense. In the organs of the adult, the Ec-vasa transcripts were detected in ovary. In the ovarian development cycle, the highest mRNA expression level of vasa gene was found instage I , and then the transcripts decreased with ovarian development. As the time progressed, the expression level of Ec-vasa reached the lowest level at stage IV. These results indicate that Ec-vasa gene may play an important role in oogenesis during ovarian development cycle, and it was expected as an effective molecular marker to the origin of PGCs and gonadogenesis. |
