英文摘要 | Phytoene desaturase is one of the most important enzymes necessary for the biosynthesis of carotenoids in some cyanobacteria, green algae and plants. In this study, genomic DNA and cDNA of pds were cloned from unicellular green alga Haematococcus pluvialis strain323 using PCR and RT-PCR methods. The cDNA was cloned into plasmid pET-28a and efficiently expressed in Escherichia coli BL21. The complete genomic PDS gene of H. pluvialis, 3.3 kb in size, included eight exons and seven introns. To locate transcriptional regulation elements, an approximate 1 kb of 5'-flanking region was isolated by genome-walking method. Results of bioinformatic analysis showed several putative cis-elements e.g. the ABRE motif (abscisic acid responsive element), the C-repeat/DRE (dehydration responsive element) motif and the GCN4 motif were located in 5'-flanking region of pds. Results of phylogenetic analyses reveal that different sources of PDS genes form a separate clade, respectively, with 100% bootstrap support. Moreover, a maximum likelihood approach was employed to detect evidence of positive selection in the evolution of PDS genes. Results of branch-site model analysis suggest that 7.9% of sites along the green algal branch are under positive selection, and the PDS gene in green algae exhibits a different evolutionary pattern from its counterparts in cyanobacteria and plants.; Phytoene desaturase is one of the most important enzymes necessary for the biosynthesis of carotenoids in some cyanobacteria, green algae and plants.
