Abstract:
:One cDNA clone was purified from an adult Clonorchis sinensis cDNA library, and its deduced polypeptide sequence was found to be homologous with myosin regulatory light chain (MRLC) of invertebrates and vertebrates. Two amino-acid residues, Thr and Ser, were conserved at the phosphorylation sites that regulate the function of MRLCs. Recombinant C. sinensis MRLC (rCsMRLC) protein was produced and purified from Escherichia coli, and mouse anti-CsMRLC immune sera recognized a protein of molecular weight 24 kDa from a soluble protein preparation of C. sinensis. The CsMRLC protein was immunohistochemically localized to the muscle fibers of the subtegumental muscle layer and to the muscles of oral and ventral suckers. However, the rCsMRLC protein proved to be less useful antigen for the serodiagnosis of human clonorchiasis.
