Molecular Cloning and Characterization Analysis of Phosphofructokinase Gene from Dunaliella parva

Article Preview

Abstract:

Phosphofructokinase (PFK), which catalyses the phosphorylation of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6- bisphosphate, a key regulatory step in the glycolytic pathway. The former studies indicated the PFK could enhance glycolysis. The full-length cDNA encoding PFK was obtained from oleaginous microalgae Dunaliella parva, which include 1572 bp open reading frame (ORF), 254 bp 5′-untranslated sequence and 323 bp 3′-untranslated sequence. Dunaliella parva PFK showed the highest sequence similarity with the PFK from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Volvox carteri. The Dunaliella parva PFK also showed wide similarity with other species.
