摘要: 转座子是宿主基因组的重要组成部分。Ty3/gypsy反转座子是广泛存在于生物体内的一类反转座子。通过反向PCR(inverse PCR)和基因组步移方法成功地从二化螟体内获得一个具有完整结构的Ty3/gypsy反转座子拷贝,命名为CsuTy3(GenBank登录号:KJ191261)。该反转座子拷贝全长4 934 bp,在基因组上插入的靶位点(target sit duplications,TSDs)是“AACGT”,两端的长末端重复序列(long terminal repeat,LTR)不完全相同,5′端LTR长161 bp,3′端LTR长168 bp,两者的一致度为93.5%;在靠近3′端LTR处有一段长15 bp的嘌呤尾(polypurine tract,PPT)序列。经ORF Finder分析,CsuTy3中包含三个独立的ORF,从左至右第一个ORF编码类似病毒的结构蛋白,称为GAG蛋白;第二个ORF编码天冬氨酰蛋白酶(aspartic protease,AP)蛋白;第三个ORF编码一个多聚蛋白,包含反转录酶(reverse transcriptase,RT)、RNA酶H(RNase H,RH)以及整合酶(integrase,IN)。Southern杂交显示二化螟不同地理种群中均有较多的CsuTy3拷贝。在特定基因座位上,对CsuTy3拷贝插入与否的检测结果显示,二化螟不同地理种群中在该位点上均含有CsuTy3拷贝的插入,但在德阳和江津种群中有些个体在该位点上没有检测到CsuTy3拷贝的插入。

Abstract: Transposable elements constitute a substantial fraction of host genomes. Ty3/gypsy retrotransposon, one group of LTR retrotransposons, is widespread in different species. By inversePCR and genome walking, a novel member of Ty3/gypsy retrotransposons was cloned from Chilo suppressalis. This new member of Ty3/gypsy retrotransposons was named CsuTy3 (GenBank accession No. KJ191261). The sequence is 4 934 bp in length and integrated into the “AACGT” target site duplications (TSDs) of the genome. There is a pair of noncompletely identical long terminal repeats (LTRs) in the CsuTy3 retrotransposon. The 5′LTR is 161 bp in length and the 3′LTR is 168 bp, sharing 935% similarities. A polypurine tract (PPT), 15 bp in length, is adjacent to the 3′LTR. There are three independent open reading frames (ORFs) in CsuTy3. The first ORF encodes a protein which is related to viral structural protein, termed GAG. The second encodes aspartic protease (AP). The third encodes a polyprotein including a reverse transcriptase (RT) which produces a cDNA copy of the transposon′s RNA, an RNase H (RH) which splits the DNARNA hybrid and an integrase (IN) which inserts the cDNA into the host′s genome. The southern hybridization indicated that there were many CsuTy3 copies in different C. suppressalis populations. Flanking PCR results showed that the CsuTy3 copy was inserted at the same locus in different populations. At this locus, all the individuals have the CsuTy3 copy insertion except some individuals from Deyang and Jiangjin populations. The CsuTy3 insertion ratio varied with field populations.
