摘要： Zinc finger GATA like protein-1 (ZGLP1) is a nuclear zinc finger protein that regulates the interaction between somatic cells and germ cells during gonad developmental process in mammals. In this study, the zglp1 of Chinese tongue sole, Cynoglossus semilaevis (cysezglp1), was cloned and characterized for the first time in fish. Cysezglp1 had an open reading frame with five exons and was located to chromosome 9. The open reading frame of cysezglp1 consisted of 1692 nucleotides and encoded a 583 amino acid polypeptide. The predicted protein contained two zinc finger structures (Znf1 and Znf2), one of which was highly homologous to the GATA-type zinc finger domain. Multiple sequence alignment showed that Znf1 was conserved across different species while Znf2 was more divergent. Through quantitative Real-time PCR (qRT-PCR), we found that cysezglp1 was predominantly expressed in gonads, and the expression level of the ovary was significantly higher than that of the testis. We compared expression level in different embryonic stages and found that cysezglp1 mRNAs were mainly expressed in the fertilized egg to the cleavage stage, subsequently declining in the blastula stage. Cysezglp1 expression was not detected from the gastrulation stage onward. In the ovary, cysezglp1 expression was detected at 120 days after hatching and expression gradually increased with the maturation of the ovary. In situ hybridization showed that the cysezglp1 was mainly expressed in oocytes. Taken together, our results suggest that cysezglp1 may play an important role in the process of oogenesis in Chinese tongue sole.
