Abstract:

This study was aimed to clone ovine interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) gene and analyze the gene structure using bioinformatics.The primers was designed according to the obtained SSH cDNA library IL-1Ra gene sequence information and the known nucleotide sequence(GenBank accession No.:KC425613.1),IL-1Ra gene was amplified and cloned by RT-PCR and RACE methods,IL-1Ra sequence and its related molecular characteristics were analyzed.The results showed that the length of IL-1Ra gene was 1 228 bp,and encoded 174 amino acids.It was predicted that IL-1Ra had a complete IL-1 conserved domain and IL-1Ra domain (PHA02651 domain).The molecular weight of IL-1Ra was 19 765.8 u,the isoelectric point (pI) was 5.72,its molecular was C885H1385N235O256S11.IL-1Ra contained the signal peptide.The secondary structure of IL-1Ra had more β-fold and receptor binding sites,which were consistent with the predicted results of tertiary structure,and had a similarity to the spatial structure of human/mouse IL-1Ra,up to more than 90%.The IL-1Ra contained a clover structure which was peculiar to the IL-1,and its enzyme-binding domain was located between TYR47 and GLU66.The results showed that there were five highly homologous cysteines between sheep and the other fourteen species.By establishing the phylogenetic tree of IL-1Ra,it was found that the full-length cDNA of IL-1Ra in sheep formed a branch with goat and cattle.This study result could provide the basis for the further study of the biological function of IL-1Ra gene.
