An open reading frame coding precursor protein of cab gene was cloned from the first strand of bamboo cDNA through RT-PCR methods,and named as cab-PhE1 (cab gene 1 from Phyllostachys edulis EF207229). The sequence analysis showed that the deduced polypeptide was highly homologous to some other CAB proteins from monocotyledon,and the gene belonged to lhcb2 family. Tissue specific expression showed that cab-PhE1 expressed higher in leaf than sheath and stem. The prokaryotic expression vector of cab-PhE1 gene encoding the mature protein was constructed by subcloning the fragment into pET-23 a and was expressed in Escherichia coli induced by IPTG. The molecular weight of the induced protein was about 28 ku,approximate to that of the mature protein. This work is a key to the further research on in vitro reconstitution of light-harvesting Chl a/b complexes.展开更多

文摘与野生型油菜相比 ,叶绿素缺乏油菜突变体 Cr35 2 9L HC 多肽组成并未发生改变 ,但其含量却都明显降低 .RNA印迹及点杂交结果都显示出 Cr35 2 9cab基因的转录增加 .这些结果表明 :该叶绿素缺乏突变体仅影响L HC 多肽的蛋白含量 ;并未影响其组成 ;突变体 L HC 蛋白量的减少并非 cab基因转录降低所致 .可见转录水平的调节仅对 L HC 在类囊体膜上的积累起有限作用 ;
