Cloning the RIPs genes is very important for research their resistant function and applications.【Method】A novel DNA fragment coding RIP was isolated from Cassia occidentalis by applying a PCR strategy in which a pair of universal degenerated primers deduced from the two blocks with strong conserved amino acid regions in multiple plants was used. Then the full length cDNA (CassinⅠ) of the fragment was obtained by rapid amplification of cDNA ends.【Result】The full length of CassinⅠwas 882 bp. Compared with two kinds of typical RIP from Cucurbitaceae, the homologies of the deduced amino acid sequences of CassinⅠshared 58.2% and 34.7% with that of β-luffin and Trichosanthin (TCS), respectively, and there was no significant homology compared with other sequences of RIPs in GenBank. Result of multiple alignment about TCS, β-luffin and CassinⅠshown that 9 amino acid residues forming the active site of the TCS were conserved in CassinⅠ except that 2 residues was different. All the RIP active sites of CassinⅠ sequence were contained in P1/P2 amplification region.【Conclusion】It is the first report that a novel RIP gene was cloned from the Cassia occidentalis.. The results reported in this paper foundation for further studies of RIP gene function and development of transgenic plants to control plant diseases and insects.
