In this study, the full-length cDNA of a thioredoxin-like protein gene from rotifer Brachionus plicatilis was obtained. The protein was found to have antioxidant capacity and may be involved in regulating excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) during environmental stress or pathogen invading.
The thioredoxin-like protein exists widely, in various organisms, as a regulator of redox homeostasis. In this study, the full-length cDNA of a thioredoxin-like protein gene from rotifer Brachionus plicatilis (designated as BpTXNL) was obtained by 5 ' rapid amplification of cDNA end (RACE) technology. The complete cDNA of BpTXNL was 1111 bp, and contained a 5 ' untranslated region (UTR) of 69 bp, a 3' UTR of 163 bp with a polyadenylate additional signal and a polyadenylation site (PAS), and an open reading frame (ORF) of 878 bp, encoding 292 amino acids. The calculated molecular weight and the theoretical isoelectric point (pI) of the deduced BpTXNL peptide were 32.7 kDa and 4.97, respectively. The deduced protein sequence of BpTXNL contained a thioredoxin domain with the conserved redox-active site at 33CGPC36 and a proteasome-interacting thioredoxin (PITH) domain. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that BpTXNL was clustered with TXNLs of Strongyloides ratti and Caenorhabditis elegans. The temporal mRNA expression level of BpTXNL significantly decreased at 6 h, then increased to the peak 24h after the 2,2 ',4,4 '-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) challenge, while the mRNA transcripts of BpTXNL significantly increased and reached the peaks twice, at 6 h and 24 h after the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge. The recombinant BpTXNL protein quickly exhibited a concentration-dependent antioxidant capacity and the peak occurred at 55 min in the 20 mu M group. All these results showed that BpTXNL possesses an antioxidant capacity, and that it may be involved in the regulation of excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) during environmental stress or pathogen invading.
