Cloning and prokaryotic expression of SKP1 homologous genes from Nervilia fordii

Objective In order to study the function of SCF complex in Nervilia fordii, five SKP1 homologous genes, the NSKs were cloned, and the encoded proteins were analyzed by bioinformatics, and the recombinant proteins were obtained by prokaryotic expression. Methods Sequences of five SKP1 homologous gene were screened from the N. fordii transcriptome, designated NSK2, NSK3, NSK5, NSK7, and NSK11. The open reading frames (ORFs) of these five genes were amplified by RT-PCR using specific primers. The genes were introduced into the prokaryotic expression vectors pGEX-4T-NSKs for expression of the recombinant proteins in Escherichia coli Rosetta (DE3) cells under IPTG induction. Results The ORFs of the NSK genes were 495, 483, 489, 498, and 486 bp, encoding 164, 160, 162, 165, and 161 amino acids, respectively. The protein similarity reached 73.65%, all belong to the SKP1 protein family, containing F-box and Cullin protein binding sites. The prediction of subcellular locations showed that NSK2, NSK3, and NSK5 were located in the nucleus, while NSK7 and NSK11 were located in the cytoplasm and nucleus. The phylogenetic tree showed that NSK2, NSK3, and NSK5 clustered together with Triticum aestivum and Zea mays, and NSK7 and NSK11 clustered together sharing high homology with Phytophthora polycephalum. By constructing a prokaryotic expression vector, the favorable induction conditions in E. coli Rosetta (DE3) were determined, and GST-NSKs recombinant proteins were successfully induced and purified. Conclusion Five SKP1 homologous genes, NSKs were cloned and the correspondent NSK proteins were obtained, which provided a reference for further study on function of SCF complexes in N. fordii.
