| 中文摘要: |
| Ghrelin是联系生殖和能量代谢的重要桥梁信号分子，通过克隆黄鳝（Monopterus albus）的ghrelin基因并对其基因结构和功能进行了初步分析；运用cDNA末端快速扩增技术获得了黄鳝ghrelin 基因的cDNA序列和DNA序列全长。结果表明，黄鳝ghrelin 基因cDNA全长552 bp（GenBank accession no. JX122807），包括115 bp的5’端非编码区、324 bp的完整开放阅读框以及113 bp的3’端非编码区；DNA序列全长1323 bp，由3个内含子和4个外显子构成，内含子剪切位点具有典型识别核苷酸GT/AG，3个内含子分别为594 bp、84 bp和93 bp，4个外显子长度分别为229 bp、78 bp、112 bp和133 bp。氨基酸序列分析显示，ghrelin基因推导的Ghrelin蛋白前体原（propreghrelin）序列由26 aa的信号肽、19 aa的成熟肽以及C端氨基酸残基等构成；其中，成熟肽第3位为丝氨酸（Ser3），是Ghrelin的酰基化位点；C端氨基酸残基序列极可能包括与Ghrelin成熟肽功能相互拮抗的肥胖抑制素（Obestatin）。氨基酸的同源性及进化关系分析表明，黄鳝与某些鲈形目鱼类的蛋白前体原存在高度相似性，且在进化上黄鳝与较高级的鲈形目、鲽形目鱼类聚为一支。ghrelin基因结构及其蛋白质某些氨基酸残基序列的高度保守，预示着Ghrelin在脊椎动物中有着重要的生理功能与类似的作用机制。 |

| Ghrelin is an important signaling molecule for reproductive behavior and metabolism. The rice-field eel is a fresh water fish with natural sexual reversal from female to male via intersex, and is now widely used as a model animal in research of vertebrate sex determination and development. The ghrelin gene of Monopterus albus was cloned and the structure and function of the ghrelin gene were analyzed. The sequence of the ghrelin gene was determined at DNA and cDNA levels using rapid amplification of cDNA. The full-length of the ghrelin cDNA sequence was 552 bp (GenBank accession no. JX122807), consisting of a 115 bp 5’-untranslated region, a 324 bp open frame and a 113 bp 3’-untranslated region. The full-length of the ghrelin DNA sequence was 1323 bp, consisting of three introns and four exons, and the exon/intron junctions were found to conform to the GT/AG rule. The sequences of the three introns were 594 bp, 84 bp and 93 bp and the sequences of the four exons were 229 bp, 78 bp, 112 bp and 133 bp. Amino acid sequence analysis shows that the deduced propreghrelin sequence of M. albus contains a 26 aa signal peptide (SP), a 19 aa mature peptide (MP) and a C-terminal amino acid residue. Among them, the third amino acid (Ser3) of MP is the site for N-acylation and N-deacetylation, and the C-terminal amino acid residue likely includes an obestatin peptide, a physiological antagonist of the mature Ghrelin peptide. Homological and phylogenic analyses of amino acid sequences suggest that the propreghrelin of the rice-field eel has high similarity to those of Perciformes and, phylogenetically, the rice-field eel clusters with Perciformes and Pleuronectiformes. The highly conservative gene structure of ghrelin indicates that it has important physiological functions. |
