The main function of Sec61 complex is participating in the transport of polypeptide chains across the endoplasmic reticulum. The Sec61α subunit is the largest subunit of the Sec61 complex and shows high degree of conservation. In this study, we identified the NbSec61α and NbSec61γ genes in the microsporidian Nosema bombycis for the first time. Multiple sequence alignment showed that the sequence similarity between NbSec61α and homologous proteins of other microsporidia was greater than 48 %. NbSec61α contains a "plug" domain (amino acids 40-74) unique to the Sec61/SecY complex. Phylogenetic analysis based on NbSec61α and NbSec61γ indicated that the N. bombycis was closely related to Nosema granulosis, Nosema ceranae and Nosema apis. Indirect immunfluorescence assay showed that NbSec61α and NbSec61γ were mainly distributed in the perinuclear region of N. bombycis in different developmental phases. qRT-PCR results revealed that the expression level of NbSec61α gene increased in the early stage and reached the highest at 48 h, then decreased in the late stages. After knockdown of NbSec61α, the expression of NbSec61α, NbSec61γ and NbssrRNA genes were all significantly down-regulated. These results suggest that the NbSec61α and NbSec61γ may play an important role in the intracellular development of N. bombycis. |
