Abstract:
On the basis of the
Uncaria transcriptome, specific primers were designed for
UrSTR. The full-length cDNA of
UrSTR (GeneBank:OL310251) was 1 541 bp, encoding 345 amino acid residues, and the promoter region sequence of
UrSTR (GeneBank:OL310252) was 1 179 bp. Phylogenetic tree is revealed that
UrSTR had a closest relationship with
STR from
Ophiorrhiza pumila and
Ophiorrhiza japonica. Localization of
UrSTR protein is revealed located in the vacuole membrane. Plant-care analysis indicated that the promoter region sequence of
UrSTR, covering multiple light, stress and hormone-response
cis-regulatory elements, and verified transcriptional activity. The results of SDS-PAGE show that pET-28a-
UrSTR recombinant protein was successfully expressed, and the size was anticipated. The
UrSTR prokaryotic expression system needs to be optimized in the later stage. The research lays the foundation for further purification to study its structure and functional characterization of the
UrSTR protein.
