Cloning and Sequence Analysis of Gene Encoding psbZ from Silybum marianum (L.) Gaertn

Photosystem II is known as the core of photosynthesis and among of the photosystem II protein complex, PsbZ protein is very important because of its role in connection PSII and LHCII. For identifying and sequencing of the psbZ gene in Silybum marianum plant, seeds were prepared from botanical garden...

description Photosystem II is known as the core of photosynthesis and among of the photosystem II protein complex, PsbZ protein is very important because of its role in connection PSII and LHCII. For identifying and sequencing of the psbZ gene in Silybum marianum plant, seeds were prepared from botanical garden in Tabriz, Iran. DNA was extracted by CTAB method and by using the PCR amplification the fragment length was estimated to be 705 bp. The amplified fragment was cloned in pGEM-T vector and E.coli transformation was carried out. The plasmid was extracted and the sequence was recorded at NCBI with accession number of GQ225868. BLAST of psbZ, glycine tRNA and psbZ-tRNA GLY intergenic spacer showed that each region is highly conserved among species. BLAST of predicted PsbZ protein also represents a severe conservation among species. Because of the importance of PsbZ protein in photosynthesis, it is necessary to create targeted mutations to determine the active sites of proteins.
