A cDNA clone was isolated after difference screening from cotyledons of two-week cold-treated Ammopiptanthus mongolicus. The full-length cDNA sequence [designated as AmCIP (A. mongolicus cold-induced protein) gene] was 806 bp long and contained a 465 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding a 16.6 kD protein of 154 amino acids. Bioinformatic analyses indicated that CIP belongs to dehydrin family with the features of high hydrophilicity, a helix K-segment, a long Gly-rich region and a phosphorylatable tract of Set as well as deficiency in Cys and Trp. The expression of CIP gene increased after two weeks of cold treatment and more expression was detected in radicle than in cotyledon. And PCR amplification of the AmCIP gene from genome of A. mongolicus revealed this gene has no intron. Function prediction suggested this protein seems to protect the stabilization of membrane structure and prevent macromolecular coagulation or sequestrate calcium ions by association or disassociation with membrane under low temperature conditions.
