摘要
【目的】着丝粒是真核生物染色体的基本功能元件之一,其功能是在细胞有丝分裂和减数分裂时期精确地调控染色体配对和分离并维持染色体的稳定。着丝粒结构是由DNA和蛋白质形成的一种复合体。着丝粒特异组蛋白(centromere-specific histone H3,CENH3)是功能着丝粒是否具有活性的最基本特征。所以制备CENH3的相关抗体是进行着丝粒结构与功能研究的前提条件之一。【方法】通过设计短肽进行兔免疫实验,制备了水稻着丝粒特异组蛋白CENH3兔源抗体,利用ELISA和蛋白免疫荧光(immunofluorescence,IF)等检测方法对抗体有效性进行了鉴定。【结果】ELISA检测显示制备的CENH3抗体有效稀释度为1:40万,并且蛋白免疫荧光信号在水稻体细胞每条染色体的着丝粒区域均能检测到。同时,该抗体也可以应用于玉米等其他物种。通过染色质免疫沉淀(ChIP)技术获得与CENH3相结合的DNA分子,并进行PCR扩增和FISH定位分析,结果显示相应的Ch IP-DNA位于水稻功能着丝粒区域。【结论】本研究制备的水稻CENH3兔源抗体能满足着丝粒研究中相关实验的要求,可进一步应用于着丝粒的结构与功能研究。
【Objective】The centromeres of eukaryotic chromosomes are essential for cell division and inheritance ofgenetic information.The centromere is a complex composed of centromeric proteins and DNA motifs.In particular,acentromere-specific histone3variant,referred to CENH3,is a key centromere-specific protein for centromericchromatin.So the preparation of CENH3antibody is necessary for the research of centromeric structure and function.【Method】We designed a short-peptide for the rabbit immune experiment and prepared CENH3antibody in rice.ELISAand protein immunofluorescence(IF)assay were performed to detect the effectiveness and availability of CENH3antibody.【Result】The effective dilution of CENH3antibody was detected at1:400000.Through IF analysis,obvioussignals were detected in the centromeric region of each chromosome in rice and maize.DNA associated with CENH3was selectively immunoprecipitated in chromatin immunoprecipitation assay(ChIP).After PCR amplification andFISH(fluorescence in situ hybridization)analysis,the results showed ChIP-DNA was located in functional centromerein rice.【Conclusion】These results demonstrated that CENH3antibody prepared in this study can meet the requirementof related experiments in the research of centromere,and the antibody was prepared successfully.
