Abstract

A full length amphioxus cDNA

encoding a novel phosducin-like protein (Amphi-PhLP)

was identified for the first time from the gut cDNA library of Branchiostoma belcheri. It is comprised of 1 550 bp and an open reading frame (ORF) of 241 amino acids

with a predicted molecular mass of approximately 28 kDa. In situ hybridization histochemistry revealed a tissue-specific expression pattern of Amphi-PhLP with the high levels in the ovary

and at a lower level in the hind gut and testis

hepatic caecum

gill

endostyle

and epipharyngeal groove

while it was absent in the muscle

neural tube and notochord. In the Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells transfected with the expression plasmid pEGFP-N1/Amphi-PhLP

the fusion protein was targeted in the cytoplasm of CHO cells

suggesting that Amphi-PhLP is a cytosolic protein. This work may provide a framework for further understanding of the physiological function of Amphi-PhLP in B. belcheri.
