摘要： Prkaca consists of the catalytic subunit alpha protein kinase A (PKA), which is involved in many cellular processes. In this study, the cDNA and genomic sequences of prkaca in tilapia hybrids (Oreochromis mossambicus x Oreochromis hornorum) were cloned and analysed. The results showed the prkaca gene consists of 11 exons and 10 introns, and its protein contains 351 amino acid residues and is clustered with Oreochromis niloticus, Maylandia zebra and Haplochromis burtoni first in a phylogenetic tree. Amino acid alignment indicates that prkaca shares the highest identity (100%) to Oreochromis niloticus, Maylandia zebra and Haplochromis burtoni. Two CpG islands of prkaca were found by MethPrimer software, and 32 CG sites were found in the proximal promoter. The methylation level of prkaca in the hybrids (0.31%) was significantly lower than that of their parents (0.94% and 3.43%) in kidney tissue (P < 0.05). The gene expression levels and DNA methylation levels of prkaca in muscle and kidney tissues of the tilapia hybrids were detected by quantitative real-time PCR and bisulfite sequencing PCR and showed a negative correlation under saline-alkali stress. The results of this research demonstrated that DNA methylation levels and prkaca mRNA expression levels were inversely correlated under saline-alkali stress, implying that heterosis is likely accompanied by DNA methylation alterations. This research provides new clues for further investigations of DNA methylation and heterosis in hybrid fish.
