Cloning and Sequence Analysis of Two cDNA Encoding Invertase Inhibitors from Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz)

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, two encoding invertase inhibitors (INH) named as MeINH1 and MeINH2 were isolated from cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz). TheMeINH1 contains a 583 bp fragment in length and codes a region of 172 amino acids; and the MeINH2 contains a 538 bp fragment in length and codes a region of 169 amino acids. The amino acid sequence analysis showed that both MeINH1 and MeINH2 have typical structure of invertase inhibitor proteins with a N-terminal signal peptide, four conserved cysteine residues and two disulfide bridges, respectively; whereas, they showed low homology to other organisms. This research provides a foundation for further study of the cassava INH.
