چکیده
The full length cDNA of a novel metallothionein (LbMT2) gene was cloned from a cDNA library of Limonium bicolor. The LbMT2 gene cloned is 518 bp in length, which includes a 64 bp of 5' untranslated region (UTR) and a 205 bp of 3' untranslated region. This gene has an open reading frame (ORF) of 249 bp in length, encoding a protein of 82 amino acid residues with the molecular mass of 8.1 kDa and theoretical pI of 4.71. The expression of LbMT2 gene in L. bicolor in response to CuSO4, CdCl2, NaCl, cold, and PEG was further investigated using real time quantitative PCR. In both leaf and root of L. bicolor, the expression of LbMT2 was induced by CuSO4, CdCl2, NaCl, and cold, but inhibited by PEG stress. LbMT2 gene was inserted into a prokaryotic expression vector (pGEX-4T-2) to produce the recombinant expression vector pGEX-LbMT2. The expression of LbMT2 in E. coli BL21 was induced with IPTG, which produced a protein band with expected size of 35 kDa on SDS-PAGE.

Plants are naturally exposed to frequent changes in environmental conditions such as salt stress affecting their growth and development, and consequently a considerable reduction in total productivity. Monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR), a key enzyme in ascorbate-glutathione cycle, serves as an important antioxidative enzyme in scavenging of reactive oxygen spices (ROS). In this study, ...

Background and Aims: NDV (Newcastle Disease Virus) is one of the viruses that cause disease in avian with severe economic losses in the poultry industry in many countries. Fusion protein (F) which plays a major role in the virus pathogenicity contains several regions that have a role in the fusion process. Mutation in the sequence of HR1 & HR2 regions of this protein prevents fusion of the viru...

Alcanivorax borkumensis is a marine bacterium that has ability to grow on limited substrates that mainly is alkanes. The ability to use wide range of hydrocarbons is advantage of this bacterium to other marine community bacteria. A. borkumensis have two genetic systems for alkane biodegradation. The First system is alkane hydroxylase (alk-B1and alk-B2) and the second system is...

Drought stress is one of the serious problems that restricted agronomic plant production worldwide. In molecular level, the harmful effect of drought stress is mostly caused by producing of large amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Catalase and Metallothionein genes have a crucial role to mope the hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) resulting reducing oxidative damage. In this research the gene expre...
