摘要： 【目的】对绵羊Luman/CREB3募集因子(CREBRF)基因进行克隆和生物信息学分析，并检测其在绵羊不同组织中的表达量，为探究CREBRF基因在绵羊中的生物学功能提供理论参考。【方法】以绵羊卵巢cDNA为模板，通过PCR扩增和克隆绵羊CREBRF基因完整CDS区序列，并进行相似性比对、系统进化树构建及生物信息学分析;利用实时荧光定量PCR方法检测CREBRF基因在绵羊不同组织中的表达水平。【结果】绵羊CREBRF基因CDS区序列全长1 920 bp，编码639个氨基酸。相似性比对结果表明，绵羊CREBRF氨基酸序列与山羊、牛、人、小鼠、猪、犬、马、鸡、鸭和斑马鱼的相似性分别为99.8%、99.1%、95.4%、93.6%、98.3%、97.5%、98.4%、88.0%、87.5%和61.3%。系统进化树分析结果显示，绵羊与山羊、牛的亲缘关系最近，与斑马鱼亲缘关系最远。生物信息学分析发现，绵羊CREBRF蛋白分子式为C₃₁₂₆ H₄₉₁₄ N₈₅₈ O₁₀₅₆ S₂₁，分子质量为72.08 ku，等电点(pI)为4.77，半衰期为30 h，肽链N-端为蛋氨酸(Met)，不稳定系数为54.83;CREBRF蛋白存在于细胞核内，不具备跨膜性，无信号肽，为亲水性不稳定蛋白。CREBRF蛋白二级结构主要以无规则卷曲(47.57%)为主，其次为α-螺旋(37.09%)。实时荧光定量PCR结果显示，CREBRF基因在绵羊不同组织中均有表达，其中在心脏、肾脏和卵巢中表达量显著高于其他组织(P<0.05)。【结论】本试验获得了绵羊CREBRF基因CDS区全长序列，并初步研究了其组织表达规律，为研究绵羊胚胎发育的调控机制及提高繁殖力等提供了材料。
