By construction of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var.capitata) genomic library and screening the library with pRCH8, a probe of rice chitinase gene fragment, a chitinase genomic sequence was isolated. The complete nucleotide sequence of the putative cabbage chitinase gene (cabch29) was determined, with its longest open reading frame (ORF)encoding a polypeptide of 413 aa. This polypeptide consists of a 21 aa N-terminal signal peptide,two chitin-binding domains different from those of other classes of plant chitinases, and a catalytic domain. Homology analysis illustrated that this cabch29 gene has 58.8% identity at the nucleotide level with the pRCH8 ORF probe and has 50% identity at the amino acid level with the catalytic domains of chitinase from bean,maize and sugar beet. Meanwhile,several kinds of cis- elements,such as TAT.A box, CAAT box, GATA motif, ASF-1 binding site, wound-response elements and AATAAA, have also been discovered in the flanking region of cabch29 gene.展开更多
