Abstract: To obtain the cDNA clone of galectin-3,a first-strand cDNA library was synthesized from the total RNA of Bufo gargarizans skin and then used as a template for subsequent polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. The PCR product was successfully cloned into pGM-T vector. After sequencing and using the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI),an open reading frame (ORF) finder was utilized to determine the cDNA. Then,Clustal X 2.0 and DnaSP 4 software were used to analyze cDNA diversity and the deduced amino acid variation. Results of the ORF finder showed nine cDNA clones of galectin-3,two of which were estimated to encode truncated protein. Clustal X 2.0 and DnaSP 4.0 revealed a high density of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) with an average of 1 SNP per 20 bp. For deduced amino acid residues,the N-terminal and carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) were highly consistent with a phosphorylation site,a CRD,and two related motifs. Meanwhile,the tandem repeated domain showed strong differences. Thus,this study indicated a molecular basis for bio-adaptation of B. gargarizans in certain habitat.[Ch,3 fig. 1 tab. 24 ref.]
