目的 克隆国产沉香基原植物白木香Aquilaria sinensis互作蛋白（jasmonate Zim-domain，JAZ）基因（NINJA），为深入研究其在沉香倍半萜合成途径中的功能奠定基础。方法 以白木香总RNA为模板，采用RACE法和RT-PCR方法，克隆白木香NINJA基因cDNA全长，并进行生物信息学的分析；采用实时荧光定量（qRT-PCR）方法分析经茉莉酸甲酯（MeJA）处理的白木香愈伤组织中AsNINJA1基因的表达模式。结果 获得白木香NINJA基因全长cDNA，命名为AsNINJA1。序列分析表明，该基因的序列全长为1 982 bp，包含一个1 221 bp的开放阅读框，编码406个氨基酸，蛋白质相对分子质量为43 697，等电点为6.02。qRT-PCR结果显示，经MeJA处理4 h后AsNINJA1基因相对表达量最高，是对照（未经MeJA处理的白木香愈伤组织）的近100倍，随后显著下降。结论 获得AsNINJA1基因全长cDNA序列，该基因对MeJA诱导极为敏感，且能在伤害早期响应。

Objective To clone the full-length cDNA of interacting protein of JAZ (NINJA) gene in Aquilaria sinensis, and to provide the basic information for further study on gene function in sesquiterpenes biosynthesis pathway. Methods With the total RNA as template, the full-length cDNA of NINJA in A. sinensis was cloned through RACE technique and RT-PCR method. The bioinformatics of cloing NINJA gene was analyzed as well. The expression mode of this gene was with MeJA treatment in A. sinensis callus detected by qRT-PCR method. Results The full-length cDNA (1 982 bp) of NINJA gene in A. sinensis, named as AsNINJA1 was obtained with an open reading frame of 1 221 bp and encoding 406 amino acids. The relative molecular mass of AsNINJA1 protein calculated was 43 697, and the isoelectric point was 6.02. The qRT-PCR results indicated that MeJA treatment could stimulate the increase of mRNA expression of AsNINJA1; There was a sharp rise at 4 h with nearly 100 times higher than the control (without MeJA treatment), then dropped significantly. Conclusion The full-length cDNA sequence of AsNINJA1 gene is obtained; AsNINJA1 is extremely sensitive to MeJA treatment, and responded to the early damage.
