From eggplant hypocotyl tissues we have cloned two closely related cDNAs encoding cytochromes P450 (P450s) by PCR amplification using a primer designed based on the highly conserved sequence among the known eggplant P450s. One cDNA lacks the NH2-terminal short sequence that is present in the other, full-length cDNA. The two predicted protein sequences are 71% identical with each other and show less than 30% identity with any other known P450s. It is concluded that these P450s, which are termed CYP77A1 and -A2, belong to a hitherto unknown P450 family.
我们从茄子下胚轴组织中,使用基于已知茄子细胞色素P450(P450s)中高度保守序列设计的引物,通过PCR扩增克隆了两个密切相关的编码细胞色素P450的cDNA。一个cDNA缺少另一个全长cDNA中存在的NH2末端短序列。这两个预测的蛋白质序列彼此有71%的同一性,并且与任何其他已知的P450s的同一性低于30%。得出的结论是,这些被称为CYP77A1和 -A2的P450s属于一个迄今未知的P450家族。
