马铃薯Y病毒基因组3′-端区域的克隆和序列分析

以马铃薯Y病毒(PVY,中国分离株)基因组RNA的cDNA为模板,我们用聚合酶连锁反应(PCR)合成了完整的外壳蛋白(CP)基因及部分3′末端非编码区序列。在5′-引物Y5中引入了限制性酶NcoI位点及起始密码AUG,3′-引物Y3中引入了Sall位点。PCR产物经NcoI及Sall双酶切后克隆入pGEM衍生质粒,并测定了其中一个克隆pPCY6的CP基因的序列,以此克隆的CP基因片段作探针,从cDNA库中钓出相关的几个克隆,并测定了序列,由此我们获得了包含部分NIb基因,全部的CP基因及3′-非编码区共1317个碱基。序列分析表明,该株系CP基因核苷酸序列与0株系同源性(94.2％)较与N株系(89.6％)同源性稍高,但氨基酸序列的同源性差别不大(分别为93.3％及91.8％)。目前我们已将该基因克隆入双元载体pBI121.1,并通过脓杆菌转化马铃薯,以期得到抗PVY的马铃薯工程株。     

CLONING AND SEQUENCE ANALYSIS OF 3''''-END REGION OF POTATO VIRUS Y GENOME

The entire coat protein (CP) gene and part of the 3'-noncoding sequence of the potatovirus Y (PVY, the Chinese isolate) genome were synthesized with polymerase chain reaction(PCR) using cDNA of its genomic RNA as a template. A restriction endonuclease site Ncoland the initiation codon AUG were included in primer Y5 while the SalI site was includedin primer Y3. After being double digested with Ncol and SalI enzymes, the PCR product wascloned into a pGEM derivative plasmid, and the CP gene in one of the clones, pPCY6, wassequenced. Several clones were selected from the cDNA library by using the CP gene frag-ment of pPCY6 as a probe and the sequences of these clones were determined. These se-quences included part of the NIb gene, entire CP gene and 3'-noncoding region, 1317 bp alltogether.Sequence analysis indicated that the nucleotide sequence homology of the CP geneof this strain with that of the 0 strain (94.2%) was a little higher than with that of the Nstrain (89.6%), but the homology of amino acid se
