艾滋病患者马尔尼菲青霉菌优势株酵母相全长cDNA文库的构建和初步分析

Objective To construct a full length cDNA library of the dominant strain of Penicillium marneffei (PM) in yeast phase isolated from AIDS patients in Guangdong province and screen UniGenes as well as full-length genes, so as to establish the foundation for the study of PM's functional genes and pathogenic mechanisms. Methods CloneMiner cDNA construction kit was utilized to extract mRNA of the dominant PM strain isolated from AIDS patients in Guangdong province. The mRNA was reversed into cDNA, then cloned into a pDONR222 vector by BP recombination to obtain an Uncut cDNA library, which was homogenized later to construct a normalized cDNA library with the principal of saturation hybridization for DNA genome. 2000 clones were chosen randomly to make a bi-directional sequencing and analyzed with bioinformatics for screening UniGenes and full-length genes. Results The total clone number of the Uncut cDNA library was 1.16 × 107 cfu/mL, with a recombination rate of 95% and an average insertion element being over 1 kb. The total clone number of the normalized cDNA library was 1.18 × 106 cfu/mL, with a recombination rate of 95% and an average insertion element being over 1 kb as well. 1945 genes which DNA length were longer than 1 kb were obtained by sequencing and merged into 1360 UniG enes, of which 632 genes were full-length ones. Conclusions The full-length cDNA library of the dominant strain of PM from AIDS patients in Guangdong province possesses good quality.Meanwhile, the technical routine presents high efficiency in obtaining full-length genes and establishing a gene expression spectrum, which can contentedly meet the needs of future experiments.
