摘要:

文章通过构建带金鱼Tgf2转座子左右臂、斑马鱼肌球蛋白轻链2(Mlyz2)启动子和红色荧光蛋白(RFP)的供体质粒Tgf2-Mlyz2-RFP, 与Tgf2转座酶mRNA共同显微注射入团头鲂1~2细胞期受精卵, 检测金鱼Tgf2转座子在团头鲂基因组中的整合效率。在团头鲂出膜仔鱼、30 d和180 d幼鱼阶段, 可在鱼体背部和侧面肌肉观察到荧光, 红色荧光蛋白的表达率为48.1%, PCR检测结果显示, 金鱼Tgf2转座系统在团头鲂成鱼基因组中的整合效率为31.5%; 对5尾阳性团头鲂进行了RT-PCR检测, 3尾团头鲂在12个组织均能检测到较高的RFP基因的表达, 2尾团头鲂仅在肌肉、皮和肾脏中存在较高的RFP基因的表达, 显示RFP基因在不同转基因团头鲂个体中的组织表达存在一定差异; 通过检测Tgf2转座子在团头鲂基因组插入位置5′端的侧翼序列, 检测出金鱼Tgf2转座系统在转基因团头鲂中的拷贝数至少为2个, 每尾鱼的平均拷贝数大约为5个, 50%以上插入位点的侧翼序列可找出其它脊椎动物的相关同源性序列。研究结果显示金鱼Tgf2转座子可高效介导基因在团头鲂基因组中插入, 为开展团头鲂转基因和基因捕获研究奠定了一定的基础。

Abstract:

To study insertion efficiency of goldfish Tgf2 transposon in the genome of Megalobrama amblycephala, we built Tgf2-Mlyz2-RFP donor plasmid with goldfish Tgf2 transposon left and right arms, and then co-injected with goldfish Tgf2 transposase mRNA into the 1–2 cell stage fertilized eggs of M. amblycephala. In 30 d- and 180 d-stage larval, RFP fluorescence can be observed in back and side muscle of the fish. The rate of RFP fluorescence expression was 48.1%. In adult fish, PCR results demonstrated that integration efficiency of goldfish Tgf2 transposition system was 31.5% in M. am-blycephala genome. RT-PCR analysis showed that RFP RNAs were highly transcribed among all the 12 tissues in three transgenic fishes, while it could be highly detected only in muscle, skin, and kidney in another two individuals. Our results suggested that RFP expression in tissues vaied among different M. amblycephala. By means of the inverse PCR, the copy numbers of Tgf2 transposon were at least 2 in transgenic M. amblycephala. The average copy number of each fish was about 5. Over 50% of flanking sequences at the insertion site have homologous sequence in other vertebrate species. Our data suggest that goldfish Tgf2 transposon can efficiently mediate gene insertion in M. amblycephala, which could been used in transgene and gene trap in M. amblycephala.
