摘要:

背景:变形链球菌是公认的主要致龋菌,细菌的黏附、生物膜形成、产酸、耐酸等各个表型都与细菌的致龋性相关。有研究结果提示,苏氨酰-tRNA合成酶基因(threonyl-tRNA synthetase, thrS)可能与变形链球菌的黏附、产酸、耐酸等致龋性表型相关。
目的:对苏氨酰-tRNA合成酶基因进行保守性分析,构建用于变形链球菌苏氨酰-tRNA合成酶基因敲除的重组质粒。
方法:首先通过生物信息学结合Southern Blot对苏氨酰-tRNA合成酶基因的保守性进行分析,再将变形链球菌苏氨酰-tRNA合成酶基因上下游序列分别克隆至自杀质粒pFW5上的多克隆位点,构建用于基因敲除的重组质粒。观察苏氨酰-tRNA合成酶基因的保守性及重组质粒的构建结果。
结果与结论:苏氨酰-tRNA合成酶基因在实验中所列6种变形链球菌中保守存在;经过聚合酶链反应和酶切分析,重组质粒所插入片断无误。表明重组质粒pFW5-thrS构建成功。重组质粒pFW5-thrS的构建可用于今后变形链球菌苏氨酰-tRNA合成酶基因功能的研究。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is generally considered to be the principal aetiological agent for dental caries. thrS gene may relate to the virulence of S. mutans involved in the adherence, acidogenicity and acidodurance.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the conservation status of the thrS gene of S. mutans and to construct the homologous recombinant plasmid.
METHODS: Southern Blot was used to analyze the distribution of thrS gene in S. mutans. The upstream and downstream sequences of thrS gene were cloned respectively into multiple cloning sites of suicide plasmid pFW5 to construct the recombinant plasmid.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The thrS gene was conserved in 6 strains of S. mutans in this test. By PCR analysis and enzyme digesting, it was confirmed that S. mutans thrS gene homologous recombinant plasmid was successfully constructed, which can be used in future research of construction of thrS -negative mutans of S. mutans strain UA159
