Embodiment 1

[0026] Example One The extraction and RT-PCR amplification of the tentacle total RNA

[0027]Extraction of total RNA and synthesis of cDNA; Isolate the tentacles of a sea anemone lateralis, extract the total RNA of the tentacles by guanidine isothiocyanate method, remove the protein by phenol / chloroform extraction, and obtain 100 μg total RNA of venomous glands, the A 260 / A 280 =2.03, two clear bands of 18s and 28s can be seen by 1% formaldehyde denaturing gel electrophoresis, the ratio>1, and several specific RNA bands (see Figure 3), indicating that the integrity of the total RNA is good. 5 μg of RNA was reverse-transcribed with Oligo-dT to synthesize the first-strand cDNA, and 20 μl of the first-strand cDNA product was obtained.

[0028] Primer design and RT-PCR amplification were based on; according to the amino acid sequence at both ends of Ap-B, oligo primer design software was used to assist analysis, and two degenerate primers were designed.

Embodiment 2

[0033] Example 2 Determination and Analysis of Recombinant Sea Anemone Neurotoxin Gene Sequence

[0034] The recovered electrophoresis product was connected to a T vector, transformed into DH5α Escherichia coli, and the recombinant clone sequence was selected. A total of 16 clones were determined, and Blast homology analysis showed that 6 of them were neurotoxin gene sequences, and the length of these 7 toxin genes was 141bp, encoding a toxin protein with a length of 47 amino acids. The toxin protein number was As6, its amino acid sequence is not identical with the reported sea anemone neurotoxin protein, it is a new toxin protein.

[0035] At present, there are more than 20 kinds of sea anemone neurotoxins reported, the number of amino acids is between 46-49 (in addition, there are several toxins with amino acid residues between 27-31, called short-chain neurotoxins), of which 12 amino acids are conserved . According to their amino acid sequences, they can be divided into t...

[0045] Example 3 Construction of Recombinant Sea Anemone Neurotoxin Expression Plasmid

[0046] A pair of primers were synthesized according to the sequences at both ends of the As6 gene, the upstream primers contained Kpn I and PrescissionProtease cleavage sites, and the downstream primers contained BamH I cleavage sites.

[0047] Upstream primer (B1): 5'CGG GGT ACC CTG GAA GTT CTG TTC CAG GGG CCC GGG GTT

[0051] Bam H I

[0052] Using the pGEM-T Easy plasmid containing the As6 gene as a template, and using B1 and B2 as primers for PCR amplification, a specifically amplified single band was obtained, and the product size was about 200 bp. The PCR amplified product was first cloned into the BSK plasmid with the combination of Kpn I / BamHI to construct BSK-A...

Abstract

The present invention discloses one kind of actinia neurotoxin gene As6 separated from lateral actinia tentacle general RNA through RT-PCR process and with sequence length 141 bp. The obtained recombinant actinia neurotoxin has certain bioactivity and strong constriction promoting effect on isolated rat heart. The present invention also discloses the expression and application in preparing medicine for cardiac vascular diseases of the said gene.

Description

(1) Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a gene, especially a sea anemone neurotoxin gene. The invention also relates to the application of its protein in the preparation of medicines for treating cardiovascular diseases. (2) Background technology [0002] Sea anemone (anthopleura), belonging to coelenterate (soelenterata), coral class (anthozoa), is a relatively primitive animal in the ocean. In the long-term biological evolution process, in order to resist predators and capture food, the nematocysts of sea anemone tentacles can secrete a variety of sea anemone toxins, basically polypeptide toxins, which have various physiological activities on humans and animals. Sea anemone toxins are divided into three categories according to their physiological functions: sea anemone neurotoxins, sea anemone cytolysins, and sea anemone potassium channel inhibitors. [0003] Foreign studies on sea anemone neurotoxins began in the 1970s. In 1976, Shib...
