Abstract:

The purpose of this experimental study is to isolate a 5-HT receptor from Penaeus monodon. The mRNA were isolated from ovary (stage III ) of the wild broad stock then reserve transcribed to cDNA by using Oligo (dT) primer and superscript III enzyme. The template was amplified by PCR technique, used Taq DNA polymerase and two degenerate primers 5-HT-TM2 and 5-HT-TM6, corresponding to the conserved amino acid sequences of invertebrate 5-HT receptors. After cloning, checking positive PCR product, and sequencing analysis revealed an opened frame of 404 acid nucleotides, which was high identity of acid amine coding, and coded for 133 acid amines of protein G. Those result and the 5-HT-TM2 primer expressed in that opened frame were evident presentation of 5-HT2 receptor in P.monodon.

Introduction

Serotonin (5-HT, 5 hydroxytryptamin) is a neurotransmitter that plays an important role in behaviors as sleeping, memories, and reproduction. Serotonin modulates its various physiological functions by interaction with different 5-HT receptors. There are 7 families of 5-HT receptors in invertebrate, from 5-HT1 to 5-HT7, which are different in acid amine sequence and protein transmembrance. Except 5-HT3 receptor, all of others are protein G (1).

Methods

After extracting from ovary tissue of black tiger shrimp with TRI reagent, mRNA were reserved transcribed to single DNA by using enzyme superscript III and Oligo (dT) primer. Then the cDNA was used as template to amplify by using PCR with 2 rounds. The first PCR was performed by using 5-HT-TM2 as forward primer and Oligo (dT) as revered primer. Taq DNA polymerase was added at 94�C for 5 min, followed by 30 cycles of denaturizing at 94�C for 30 sec; annealing at 45�C for 30 sec, extending at 74�C for 2 min and final extending at 74�C for 7 min. Then the first PCR product was diluted into 1:50 and used to perform the second PCR, semi-nest PCR, which 5-HT-TM6 was used as revered primer. Followed by cloning PCR in pGEM-T easy vector and then the plasmid carried DNA circle would be sent to check sequence.

Results

For the amplifying DNA by PCR technique, there was a good band in size of about 900 base pairs (Figure1). After cloning in pGEM-T easy vector, there were seven out of thirteen colonies carried DNA circle (Figure 2). The results of checking sequence in figure 3 were shown an opened frame of 404 acid nucleotides, which was high identity of acid amines coding and coded for 133 acid amines. That protein was protein G but there was only 5-HT-TM2 primer expressed.

Discussion

The good band in size of 900 base pairs was shown the result of amplifying DNA by PCR technique in good condition and a sufficient amount of DNA to clone in vector. More over, the opened frame with high identity of acid amine coding and belong to protein G were evident to confirm that there was 5-HT2 receptor in P. monodon . The absence of 5-HT-TM6 primer was explained by the lower melting temperature of the revered primer (42� C) than annealing temperature (45� C) - the lowest one for annealing (2).
