小菜蛾Argonaute2和Argonaute3在RNA干擾途徑中的作用
發(fā)布時間:2022-12-04 19:09
背景:RNA干擾(RNAi)是雙鏈RNA(dsRNA)介導(dǎo)的轉(zhuǎn)錄后基因沉默機制,已成為熱門的遺傳學(xué)工具用于研究動物、植物以及節(jié)肢動物上的基因功能。該過程可在轉(zhuǎn)錄水平上的細胞核內(nèi)發(fā)生,亦可通過RNA引導(dǎo)的沉默復(fù)合體(RISC)的轉(zhuǎn)錄后水平上的細胞質(zhì)中發(fā)生。Ago蛋白是RISC組成的核心酶,起到切割靶標(biāo)mRNA的作用。然而,Ago蛋白在小菜蛾上的功能還未有研究。因此,研究小菜蛾Ago蛋白在RNA干擾通路上的作用是很有必要的,也有助于提高鱗翅目昆蟲RNAi的效率。方法:從福州敏感品系小菜蛾(Plutella xylostella)的三齡幼蟲提取總RNA,以總RNA為模板通過反轉(zhuǎn)錄PCR擴增小菜蛾Ago2和Ago3基因,克隆PxAgo2和PxAgo3并送公司測序。利用多序列比對和構(gòu)建系統(tǒng)發(fā)生樹分析小菜蛾P(guān)xAgo2和PxAgo3功能域。構(gòu)建PxAgo2和PxAgo3表達載體用于小菜蛾細胞的瞬時表達。合成PxAgo2、PxAgo3,、PxActin Burs-α和EGFP基因的dsRNA,并注射小菜蛾三齡幼蟲,或轉(zhuǎn)染小菜蛾細胞系,以抑制靶標(biāo)基因的表達。利用qRT-PCR檢測基因在mRNA水平的表...
