HSP60 expression profile under different extreme temperature stress in albino northern snakehead, Channa argus.

ABSTRACT: The great albino northern snakehead, Channa argus, is one of the most important economical fish in China. In the present study, cDNA encoding heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) was cloned and characterized. The cDNA was 2462 bp, containing an open reading frame (ORF) encoding a 575-amino-acids polypeptide of 61.10 kDa (theoretical isoelectric point [pI]: 5.66). BLAST analysis showed that AcaHSP60 was highly similar with other HSP60s, and three conserved amino acid blocks and characteristic motifs or domains defined as HSP60 protein family signatures. Genomic DNA analysis showed that AcaHSP60 had ten exons in the coding region (from 94 to 336 bp). Changes in AcaHSP60 gene expression profiles in albino C. argus experimentally exposed to different temperature stress (8.5, 26, and 37 °C) was invest
