简介:Theproteinstructureofthecellulosesynthase-likeprotein(CSL)wassimilartocellulosesynthase(CesA),includingtheconservativesequenceD,D,D,QXXRW.Onefull-lengthcDNAofthecellulosesynthase-likeproteinD(CslD)genewasclonedbyreversetranscriptase(RT)-polymerasechainreaction(PCR)with5’,3’rapidamplificationofcDNAends(RACE)methodsusingdegenerateprimersdesignedfromthehomologoussequencesoftheCesAgenes.Amultiplecomparisonsequenceanalysiswasconductedconcurrentlywithbioinformaticmethodstoanalyzetheobtainedsequence.ResultsofthesequenceanalysisshowedthatthiscDNAwas4150bpinlengthandcontainedasingleopenreadingframeencodingaproteinof1132aminoacids.Themultiplecomparisonsequenceanalysisshowedthatthededucedaminoacidsequencesharedhighsimilarity(over71%)withtheClCslDgenesfromPopulustremuloides,Oryzasativa,andArabidopsisthaliana.Thisworkwillhelplayanimportantfoundationforfurthermolecularstudieswithcellulosesynthesisofplants.
