Cloning and Prokaryotic Expression of Squalene Epoxidase Gene from Panax vietnamensis var. fuscidiscus
and perform bioinformatics analysis and prokaryotic expression.
Method:
2
Total RNA was extracted from root of
P
.
vietnamensis
var.
fuscidiscus
by trizol method
and reverse-transcribed into first stand of cDNA. Specific primers for
PvfSE
cloning were designed according to the transcriptome data of
P
.
vietnamensis
var.
fuscidiscus
and the cDNA sequence of
PvfSE
gene was isolated. Bioinformatics of
PvfSE
was analyzed by relevant software. The prokaryotic expression vector pMal-c2X-
PvfSE
was built to express recombinant protein in
Escherichia coli
cells.
Result:
2
The
PvfSE
gene contained a 1 887 bp open reading frame
encoding a predicted protein of 628 amino acids. The calculated molecular weight was 68.8 kDa
the theoretical isoelectric point was 9.28
the aliphatic index was 95.18
the grand average of hydropathicity was -0.060
and the instability index was 40.36. The protein was unstable. Bioinformatics analysis showed that PvfSE had two transmembrane domains and no signal peptide. PvfSE was most likely to be located in chloroplast or cytoplasmic membrane. PvfSE was a mixed protein with FAD/NAD(P) binding domain and squalene epoxidase domain. Sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that PvfSE had a relatively close relationship with CpSE1
CpSE3
OsSE1 and OsSE2
which was involved in the biosynthesis of triterpene saponins in
Cucurbita pepo
and
Ononis spinosa
. In addition
PvfSE protein was expressed in
E
.
coli
.
Conclusion:
2
In this study
PvfSE
gene was cloned and expressed in BL21(DE3)
which lays a foundation for the further study on the gene functions of PvfSE and the biosynthetic pathway of triterpenoid saponins in
P
.
vietnamensis
var.
fuscidiscus
.
