Abstract
BACKGROUND: Chitinase is responsible for chitin metabolism in a wide range of organisms.
However, current knowledge on insect chitinase and their possible functions in relation to low
temperature stress is very limited. OBJECTIVE: Six chitinase genes from cold treated desert beetle
Microdera punctipennis obtained by RNA-seq technology were characterized, and their expression
patterns in different tissues and in response to cold were investigated. METHODS: Multiple sequence
alignment was carried out using ClustalW1.81 and Phylogenetic trees were generated by MEGA5. The
expression patterns were studied by quantitative real-time PCR. RESULTS: These genes were belong
to three different chitinase groups. Almost all of them were highly expressed in midgut, and some are
expressed in fat body or hindgut. Subzero-4oC had stronger effect than 4oC in inducing chitinase
expression. CONCLUSION: The tissue specific and cold inducible expressions suggest that the
chitinases may have diverse functions and play roles in insect cold adaptation.
Keywords: Microdera punctipennis, chitinase genes, cold stress, tissue-specific gene expression.
INTRODUCTION
Chitinases are glycosyl hydrolases, which
hydrolyze β-1,4-glycosidic bonds of chitin.
Diverse organisms, such as arthropods, bacteria,
fungi and plants,
