摘要
We report the isolation and expression profiles of a single-copy gene from the mycoparasitic fungus Trichoderma hamatum encoding a 60 S cytoplasmic ribosomal protein. The gene, named RPL36, was cloned through its nutrient-mediated expression, using mRNA differential screening. Its predicted ORF, interrupted by two introns, encoded a 105-aa polypeptide. The deduced rpL36 protein showed high overall homologies with other L36-type ribosomal proteins isolated from yeast, rat and human. Analysis of the promoter region of RPL36 revealed the presence of two ribosomal protein gene (RPG) boxes and a T-rich region known to be involved in the regulation of most ribosomal protein genes. Expression of RPL36 was tightly regulated by carbon and nitrogen availability. The mRNA levels of this gene decreased upon exposure of the mycelium to different stresses, whereas the addition of cycloheximide resulted in a super-induction. Levels of RPL36 transcripts also increased during mycoparasitic interaction between T. hamatum and Botrytis cinerea.
