Abstract:

Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) is a key enzyme eliminating reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the copper and zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD) is the most important active oxygen scavenger in SOD family, which can improve plant tolerance to environmental stresses. The cDNA of Brassica campestris L. cultivar Longyou 7 was cloned by RT-PCR, using the primers designed according to the published crucifer Cu/Zn-SOD cDNA sequences. The sequence of Cu/Zn-SOD from B. campestris L. was 459 bp, encoding a predicted protein of 152 amino acid residues. Bioinformatics analysis showed that amino sequence similarity with Brassica napus was 99%, and the predicted Cu/Zn-SOD protein was a hydrophilic protein without signal-peptide as well as transmembrane region. It contained specific sequence characteristics and conserved domain of copper and zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD) superfamily. The expression analysis of Cu/Zn-SOD gene using semi-quantitative RT-PCR and results of SOD activity in response to lower temperature showed that the Cu/Zn-SOD was a differential expressed gene induced by lower temperature. Results of separating low-temperature-induced proteins from Brassica campestris L. cultivar Longyou 6 by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and mass spectrometry further showed that Cu/Zn-SOD was a stress-responsed gene, whose expression was induced by lower temperature.

Key words: Winter rape (Brassica compestris L.), Cu/Zn-SOD gene cloning, Lower temperature, Expression analysis, Activity of SOD, Low-temperature-induced protein
