三带双锯鱼(Amphiprion ocellaris)烟碱型乙酰胆碱受体基因的克隆及生物信息学分析

Gene Cloning and Bioinformatic Analysis of Nictinic Acetylcholine Receptor in Amphiprion ocellaris

  • 摘要: 鱼类的许多生理过程都受到烟碱型乙酰胆碱受体(nicotinic acetylcholine receptors)的调节,如神经肌肉信号传递。在海洋环境中,三带双锯鱼(Amphiprion ocellaris)被芋螺(Conus)捕食的过程与烟碱型乙酰胆碱受体密切相关。本研究以三带双锯鱼肌肉、脑、肠道组织的cDNA作为模板,克隆三带双锯鱼烟碱型乙酰胆碱受体不同亚基的基因,在此基础上进行生物信息学分析,同时构建系统进化树。研究结果表明,从三带双锯鱼肌肉组织中克隆得到了烟碱型胆碱能受体α1亚基(cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha1 subunit,chrna1)和烟碱型胆碱能受体ε亚基(cholinergic receptor nicotinic epsilon subunit,chrne)基因序列;从脑组织中克隆获得烟碱型胆碱能受体α10亚基(cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha10 subunit,chrna10)基因序列。将得到的基因序列利用Colabfold软件对其编码蛋白的3D结构进行预测,所得结果与已经解析的烟碱型乙酰胆碱受体的结构高度相似。采用荧光定量PCR技术对chrna1、chrne、chrna10基因在三带双锯鱼肌肉、脑、肠组织中的表达水平进行检测,结果显示,chrna1、chrne基因在肌肉组织中的表达量非常高,在脑组织中的表达量非常低,肠道组织中没有检测到表达。chrna10基因在脑组织中的表达量较低,在肌肉、肠道组织中没有检测到表达。系统进化树结果表明不同物种间乙酰胆碱受体的蛋白序列高度保守,三带双锯鱼与模式生物斑马鱼(Danio rerio)几乎同源。

     

    Abstract: Many physiological processes in fish are influenced by nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, such as neuromuscular signaling and parasympathetic neurotransmission. In the marine environment, predation on Amphiprion ocellaris by Conus is closely linked to the presence of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. In this study, genes encoding different subunits of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor were cloned using cDNAs from muscle, brain, and intestine tissues of Amphiprion ocellaris as templates. Subsequently, a bioinforma-tics analysis was conducted based on the genes and a phylogenetic tree of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor of Amphiprion ocellaris was constructed. The results revealed the successful cloning of the gene sequences of the cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha1 subunit(chrna1) and the cholinergic receptor nicotinic epsilon subunit(chrne) from muscle tissues of Amphiprion ocellaris. Additionally, the gene sequence of the cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha1 subunit(chrna10) was obtained from brain tissues. The three-dimensional structure of the encoded protein was predicted using Colabfold software, and the results were highly similar to the structure of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor obtained from previous studies. Fluorescence quantitative PCR was employed to examine the expression levels of the chrna, chrne and chrna10 genes in muscle, brain, and intestine tissues of Amphiprion ocellaris. The results indicated that the expression levels of the chrna and chrne genes were higher in muscle tissues, whereas chrna10 gene expression was lower in brain tissues and absent in muscle or intestinal tissues. Furthermore, evolutionary tree analysis demonstrated a high conservation of the acetylcholine receptor sequence across species, with significant homology to the model organism zebrafish(Danio rerio).
