Spider dragline silk is synthesized in special gland named major ampulate (MA) gland. The MA glands were dissected from the abdomen of the spiders Nephila clavata and the total RNA was extracted by the TRIZOL. The cDNA of dragline silk was amplificated by RT-PCR (reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction), multiplex PCR and cloned. PCR identification, restriction analysis and DNA sequence analysis were carried out to verify the recombinant plasmids. The codon usage frequencies of the cloned cDNA were added up, and the predicted amino acid sequence was compared with Spidroin2 of Nephila clavipes. Predicted secondary structure of the predicted amino-acid sequence was analysized by DNAStar software. All results showed that the cloned cDNA we got (GenBank Accession No. AF441245) was the very fragment of spider dragline silk Spidroin2 cDNA.
为了克隆与研究盐胁迫相关的基因,以盐胁迫后的短芒大麦叶片为材料,用Trizol一步法提取总RNA,Oligo(dT)纤维素柱纯化mRNA,反转录合成第一链cDNA和第二链cDNA.cDNA纯化后,与λZAP表达载体连接,体外包装后得到盐胁迫下短芒大麦cDNA文库,其重组率达96%,滴度为2×107 pfu/mL,插入片段长度0.5～3.0 kb.
