Project description:The complete mitochondrial genome of Elaphe carinata was sequenced and analysed using muscle tissue for the first time. The genome is 17?154 bp in length. The complete mitochondrial genome contains 22 tRNA genes, 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), two rRNA genes, two control regions (CRI and CRII) and one putative origin of L-strand replication. The gene order and nucleotide composition of E. carinata are very similar with E. davidi, E. schrenckii, E. anomala and E. bimaculata. A phylogenetic tree of mitochondrial genomes analyses of 16 species snakes of Colubridae was made based on the Neighbour-Joining (NJ) method, E. carinata has the most closely relationship with E. davidi, while E. poryphyracea and Euprepiophis perlacea are special species.

Proteomic profiling of liver from Elaphe taeniura, a common snake in eastern and southeastern Asia.

Project description:Snake liver has been implicated in the adaptation of snakes to a variety of habitats. However, to date, there has been no systematic analysis of snake liver proteins. In this study, we undertook a proteomic analysis of liver from the colubrid snake Elaphe taeniura using a combination of two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flightmass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). We also constructed a local protein sequence database based on transcriptome sequencing to facilitate protein identification. Of the 268 protein spots revealed by 2-DE 109 gave positive MS signals, 84 of which were identified by searching the NCBInr, Swiss-Prot and local databases. The other 25 protein spots could not be identified, possibly because their transcripts were not be stable enough to be detected by transcriptome sequencing. GO analysis showed that most proteins may be involved in binding, catalysis, cellular processes and metabolic processes. Forty-two of the liver proteins identified were found in other reptiles and in amphibians. The findings of this study provide a good reference map of snake liver proteins that will be useful in molecular investigations of snake physiology and adaptation.
