چکیده

Cystatin C is one of a family of proteinase inhibitors of cathepsins and other cysteine proteinases. Among warm-blooded vertebrates, small functional regions of cystatin amino acid sequences are well conserved among species, but major portions of cystatin amino acid sequences vary evolutionarily. Although considerable attention has been given to mammalian and avian cystatins, little data exist on cystatins from other vertebrates. A cDNA clone for trout cystatin C was isolated from a lambda gt11 cDNA library of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) liver. An apparently full-length cDNA clone of 674 bp encoding 132 amino acid residues was obtained. Sequence analysis indicated that trout cystatin C contains an N-terminal signal sequence extension of 21 amino acids and a mature sequence of 111 amino acid residues, with amino acid residues conserved in functional regions relative to mammalian and avian cystatin C. Using cloned cDNA as a probe, we investigated expression of the cystatin C gene in trout tissues, several cell lines of trout liver or liver tumor, and cell cultures of liver tumor origin. Cystatin C mRNA was in high abundance in trout embryo tissue, a tumor-derived liver cell line and some normal adult tissues. Southern hybridization analysis indicated one copy of the trout cystatin C gene per haploid genome, and sequence comparisons indicated considerable divergence in large portions of the coding region of the trout cystatin C gene relative to a variety of species.

Cloning and sequencing of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) interferon regulatory factor 7

  Interferon regulatory factor 7 (IRF7) gene was cloned from a subtractive cDNA library constructed with mRNAs obtained from rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) macrophage cell line (RTS-11). Using expressed sequence tag clones of submitted IRF7 amino acid sequences, specific primers were designed. Results showed that IRF7 cDNA contains an ORF of 1251 nucleotides that translates into a 416 resi...

Cytochrome P450 1b-hydroxylase (P45011b) is an important steroidogenic enzyme for glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid production in vertebrates. In teleosts, P45011b also plays a role in the production of 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT), the predominant androgen in male fish. In this study, we cloned a cDNA encoding rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) testicular P45011b. The cDNA contains 1,740 nu...
