Structural features of DNMT1 gene and its differential expression between male and female adults of Sogatella furcifera
DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) is one of the key enzymes for genomic DNA methylation and plays an important regulatory role in the growth and development of organisms. We obtained a cDNA sequence of DNMT1 from the transcriptome of
Sogatella furcifera
, and then analyzed its structure. The transcript has an open reading frame of 4 524 bp in length containing an initiation codon ATG and a termination codon TGA. The protein encoded has the typical structure of DMAP binding domain, replication foci targeting sequence, CXXC zinc finger domain and Polybromo homology domain located at the N-terminal and Dcm domain located at the C-terminal. Comparing the sequence with the whole genome sequence of
S. furcifera
, the DNMT1 gene was found locating on chromosome 3 of
S. furcifera
, with a full length of 22 567 bp, containing 18 exons and 17 introns. The gene was mainly expressed in the abdomen of the white-backed planthopper, and the expression level in female adults was significantly higher than that in male adults, up to 4.3 times. This study could enhance the understanding of the specific structure and biological function of insect DNMTs and provide a theoretical basis for the exploration of new methods or pathways for the control of planthopper.
