The sonic hedgehog protein not only plays a key role in early embryonic development, but also has essential effects on the adult nervous system, including neural stem cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and neuronal axon guidance. The N-terminal fragment of sonic hedgehog is the key functional element in this process. Therefore, this study aimed to clone and analyze the N-terminal fragment of the sonic hedgehog gene. Total RNA was extracted from the notochord of a Sprague-Dawley rat at embryonic day 9 and the N-terminal fragment of sonic hedgehog was amplified by nested reverse transcription-PCR. The N-terminal fragment of the sonic hedgehog gene was successfully cloned. The secondary and tertiary structures of the N-terminal fragment of the sonic hedgehog protein were predicted using Jpred and Phyre online.
sonic hedgehog 蛋白不仅在早期胚胎发育中起关键作用,而且对成年神经系统有重要影响,包括神经干细胞增殖、分化、迁移和神经元轴突导向。 sonic hedgehog 的 N 端片段是这一过程中的关键功能元件。因此,本研究旨在克隆和分析 sonic hedgehog 基因的 N 端片段。从胚胎第 9 天的 SD 大鼠脊索中提取总 RNA,通过嵌套反转录-PCR 扩增 sonic hedgehog 的 N 端片段。成功克隆 sonic hedgehog 基因的 N 端片段。使用 Jpred 和 Phyre 在线预测 sonic hedgehog 蛋白 N 端片段的二级和三级结构。
