Sequence analysis of the fragment indicated that 1089 bp sequenced included the whole coding region for Rubisco small subunit. The rbcS gene in wild soybean encoded a precursor composed of a transit peptide of 55 amino acids and a mature protein of 123 amino acids. There were two introns found in the rbcS gene as other dicotyledonous species previously sequenced.Comparison of DNA sequences showed high degree homology of rbcS genes between wild soybean and cultivated soybean (Glycine max var. wayne). Some changes of amino acids emerged from the diverse nucleotides did not affect the function of the small subunit. These results may contribute some basic data in molecular biology to study the origin and evolution of soybean.展开更多

In our study, we cloned the full-length Rubisco gene from S.japonica （SJ-rbc）. It contained an open reading frame for a large subunit gene （SJ-rbcL） of 1 467 bp, a small subunit gene （SJ-rbcS） of 420 bp, and a SJ-rbcL/S intergenie spacer of 269 bp. The deduced peptides of SJ-rbcL and SJ-rbcS were 488 and 139 amino acids with theoretical molecular weights and isoelectric points of 53.97 kDa, 5.81 and 15,84 kDa, 4.71, respectively. After induction with 1 mmol/L isopropyl-β-D- thiogalactopyranoside for 5 h and purification by Ni2＋ affinity chromatography, electrophoresis and western blot detection demonstrated successful expression of the 55 kDa SJ-rbcL protein. Real-time quantitative PCR showed that the mRNA levels of SJ-rbcL in gametophytes increased when transferred into normal growth conditions and exhibited diurnal variations： increased expression during the day but suppressed expression at night. This observation implied that Rubisco played a role in normal gametophytic growth and development. In juvenile sporophytes, mRNA levels of SJ-rbcL, carbonic anhydrase, Calvin-Benson- Bassham cycle-related enzyme, and chloroplast light-harvesting protein were remarkably increased under continuous light irradiance. Similarly, expression of these genes was up-regulated under blue light irradiance at 350 umol/（m2.s）. Our results indicate that long-term white light and short-term blue light irradiance enhances juvenile sporophytic growth by synergistic effects of various photosynthetic elements.展开更多
