cDNA Cloning and Expression of Translationally Controlled Tumour Protein (TCTP) Isolated from Mud Crab Scylla paramamosain in Escherichia coli
نویسنده
چکیده
Translationally controlled tumour proteins (TCTP) cDNA were cloned from the haemolymph of Scylla paramamosain by reverse transcription PCR using primers derived from Penaeus monodon. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed 507 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding 168 amino acid residues with a predicted molecular mass and pI of approximately 19.2 kDa and 4.5, respectively. Interestingly, mud crab-TCTP shows 99 % homology with Penaeus monodon translationally controlled tumour proteins (Pm-TCTP) and Fenneropenaeus merguiensis TCTP. This gene was also expressed in pQE40 vector as histidine tagged fusion proteins. The recombinant protein has a molecular mass of approximately 25 kDa. From the biological function study of Pm-TCTP, It is proposed that mud crab-TCTP might function as anti-apoptosis like Pm-TCTP does.

Molecular cloning and functional analysis of the fatty acid-binding protein (Sp-FABP) gene in the mud crab (Scylla paramamosain)
Intracellular fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) are multifunctional cytosolic lipid-binding proteins found in vertebrates and invertebrates. In this work, we used RACE to obtain a full-length cDNA of Sp-FABP from the mud crab Scylla paramamosain. The open reading frame of the full length cDNA (886 bp) encoded a 136 amino acid polypeptide that showed high homology with related genes from other...

The thioredoxin (Trx) system consists of thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), Trx, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). TrxR is an NADPH-dependent oxidoreductase. Trx is a ubiquitous small protein with a redox-active disulfide bridge that plays important regulatory roles in some vital metabolic reactions. In this study, a cDNA sequence (SpTrx1) showing high identity to the first Tr...
