管角螺触角转录组及嗅觉受体基因研究

Study on antennal transcriptome and olfactory receptor genes of Hemifusus tuba

  • 摘要: 管角螺 (Hemifusus tuba Gmelin) 是一种具有重要经济价值的海洋腹足类生物,其嗅觉感受机制尚未阐明。本研究采用高通量测序平台 (Illumina HiSeq) 对管角螺触角进行转录组测序、序列组装、功能注释及差异表达基因分析,通过测序数据组装、注释、数据库序列检索、序列比对及差异表达基因分析等生物信息学分析,共获得61 114条Unigenes,平均长度为1 115 bp,N50为1 599 bp,GC含量为42.9%。鉴定出10个嗅觉受体基因 (HetOR1HetOR10),qRT-PCR分析显示这些基因具有组织特异性表达模式:HetOR2HetOR3HetOR7HetOR10在触角中高表达;HetOR1在鳃中高表达;HetOR5在腹足中高表达;HetOR6在肝胰腺中高表达;HetOR4在触角和外套膜中高表达。结果表明:管角螺嗅觉受体基因可能参与不同组织的特定功能调控,为理解腹足类化学感受的分子机制提供了基础数据。

     

    Abstract: Hemifusus tuba Gmelin is a marine gastropod species of significant economic importance, whose olfactory sensing mechanisms remain to be elucidated. The antennae of H.tuba were subjected to transcriptome sequencing using the Illumina HiSeq high-throughput sequencing platform. Bioinformatics analyses, including sequence assembly, functional annotation, database sequence retrieval, sequence alignment, and differential gene expression analysis, were performed to identify olfactory genes. The transcriptome sequencing generated 61 114 unigenes with an average length of 1 115 bp, an N50 of 1 599 bp, and a GC content of 42.9%. Through homology comparison, 10 olfactory receptor genes were identified and systematically named HetOR1HetOR10. qRT-PCR analysis reveals tissue-specific expression patterns: HetOR2, HetOR3, HetOR7HetOR10 exhibited relatively high expression levels in the antennae; HetOR1 was highly expressed in the gill; HetOR5 showed elevated expression in the foot; HetOR6 was predominantly expressed in the hepatopancrea; HetOR4 displayed high expression in both the antennae and mantle. The results suggest that the olfactory receptor genes in H. tuba might be involved in tissue-specific functional regulation, which provides fundamental data for understanding the molecular mechanisms of chemoreception in gastropods.
