A new cold-regulated (COR) gene, msa CIC, was isolated by differential screening of a cDNA library from cold-acclimated crowns of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L. cv. Apica). Transcripts of msa CIC were not detectable in unacclimated alfalfa and accumulated to higher levels in cold-acclimated plants of the cold-tolerant cv. Apica than in those of the cold-sensitive cv. CUF-101. The DNA sequence analysis of a full-length cDNA clone revealed that msa CIC encodes for a putative protein (MSACIC) of 166 amino acids with distinct proline-rich and hydrophobic domains. Protein sequence comparisons indicated that MSACIC is similar to a group of bimodular proteins that are developmentally regulated in other plant species.
通过对来自冷驯化苜蓿(Medicago sativa L. cv. Apica)冠部的cDNA文库进行差异筛选,分离出一个新的冷调节(COR)基因msa CIC。在未驯化的苜蓿中检测不到msa CIC的转录本,而在耐寒品种Apica的冷驯化植株中,其转录本积累水平高于冷敏感品种CUF - 101的冷驯化植株。对一个全长cDNA克隆进行的DNA序列分析表明,msa CIC编码一种推定的蛋白质(MSACIC),该蛋白质由166个氨基酸组成,具有明显的富含脯氨酸结构域和疏水结构域。蛋白质序列比较表明,MSACIC与其他植物物种中受发育调控的一组双模块蛋白质相似。
