Abstract:
We have partially sequenced 785 sequences of 596 independent complementary DNA clones isolated from a cDNA library of Japanese flounder leukocytes infected with hirame rhabdovirus. These sequences consist of a total of 565,977 base pairs. The average size of the sequenced lengths was 721 bp. Of 596 clones, 386 (64.8%) were identified as previously reported genes by the BLASTN and BLASTX programs. About 30% of the identified clones could be recognized by only the BLASTX program. A total of 251 distinct genes were identified, and 181 of these genes are the first such genes reported from the teleostei. Approximately 27% of the identified Japanese flounder genes appear to be associated with cell division, cell structure or motility, and basic energy metabolism, 29% with gene or protein expression, and 17% with cell signaling, cell communication, and cell or organism defense. The most frequently identified expressed sequence tags of leukocytes of Japanese flounder were gelatinase b and ribosomal protein L23, which both had 1.34% prevalence.
