摘要
从两份西藏青稞材料中分离克隆出4个B组醇溶蛋白基因(BH1-BH4),DNA测序结果表明:它们均包含完整的开放阅读框。推断的氨基酸序列与先前报道的大麦B组醇溶蛋白具有相同的蛋白质基本结构。系统分析表明:它们推断的氨基酸序列与栽培大麦中的B组醇溶蛋白具有较高的相关性,与野生大麦和山羊草属的醇溶谷蛋白相似性较低。并且,在4个基因BH1-BH4中,BH1与先前报道的B组醇溶蛋白基因有较低的序列相似性,因此我们对BH1基因进行了原核表达,含该基因的表达载体在大肠杆菌中表达出相对分子质量为28．15 kDa．并以包涵体形式存在的蛋白,进一步对其在青稞谷粒品质改良中的潜在价值进行了探讨。
Four B-hordein genes, designated BH1-BH4, were cloned using PCR amplification from two hull-less barley cultivars, ZQ7239 and ZQ148, collected from Tibet. The results of sequencing indicated that BH1-BH4 contained complete open reading frames （ORFs）. Comparison of their predicted polypeptide sequences with the published sequences suggested that they all share the same basic protein structure. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that the deduced amino-acid sequences of BH1-BH4 genes were more closely related to B-hordeins from cultivated barley （Hordeum vulgare L.） than to any other prolamins from wild barley and Aegilops tauschii. Comparison of the coding regions of BH1-BH4 genes showed that BH1 had a lower sequence identity to other previously published B-hordeins than the other three B-hordeins obtained in this study. Bill was then cloned in a bacterial expression vector based on bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase. The resulting plasmid produced a 28.15 kDa protein in Escherichia coli. The potential value of B-hordein genes in grain quality improvement of hull-less barley has been discussed.
